Author's description of this mod:
The Stanley Parable is an experimental narrative-driven first person game. It is an exploration of choice, freedom, storytelling and reality, all examined through the lens of what it means to play a video game. You will make a choice that does not matter You will follow a story that has no end You will play a game you cannot win ...it's actually best if you don't know anything about it before you play it

Extract the mod and place it in: (Home)/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/sourcemods/
You need to add a symlink to it in your hl2 directory. Like this:
2.a. Open Terminal
2.b. Navigate to the hl2 dir: cd /Users/(your user name)/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/SteamApps/(your steam id)/half-life\ 2/
2.c. Make symlink: ln -s ../../sourcemods/thestanleyparable/ thestanleyparable
Now you can run your game from terminal! Just enter:
3.a. export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/<User name>/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/SteamApps/<steam id>/half-life\ 2/bin:/Applications/Steam.app/Contents/MacOS/osx32
3.b. ulimit -n 2048
3.c. ./hl2_osx -steam -game thestanleyparable
If you want nice shortcut to run the game with simple doubleclick download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/795175/The Stanley Parable.dmg and place it anywhere.
Have fun!
Starting script assumes you have Steam in /Applications and you have only one steam account. To make it work with specific account (in case you have more than one) you need to manually edit the script. To do so, right click on the script and click Show Package Contents, navigate to Contents/MacOS, open run.sh in textedit and add your username there.

I'm on OSX, and I have L4D2 and Portal2 installed, but I can't get this to run.
I guess Mac users actually need HL2 installed for some reason? If I try to run it from steam, it says the SDK isn't available on my OS.
2. Obey everything and shut down the generator
3. Obey everything and enable the generator
The narrator(s) is quite good. I'm not sure the mod is anything better than The Path in terms of gameplay, but the narration definitely makes up for it. Gives me a vibe similar to the film "Stranger Than Fiction".
I think i only found 4 endings...what am i missing
1) do everything the system says, turn off generator
2) do everything the system says, turn on generator
3) go down stairs
4) do opposite of the story
I think there was a wheel i could have turned during one of the hallways that i didnt...was that the trigger for the 5th ending?
soooo goood
However, there is one ending that seems to be impossible to get if you do not actually have HL2.
Take the left door. Go up the stairs. Disable generator.
Take the left door. Go down the stairs.
Take the right door. Go up in the elevator.
Take the right door. Go down in the elevator. Keep disobeying.
Take the right door. Go down in the elevator. Take the red door.
all you need to do is extract the folder into your sourcemods folder (probably program files(x86)/Steam/steamapps/sourcemods). The readme is more specific.
2) Turn on the generator. Get completely freaked out when they actually called my running down and pushing all the buttons.
3) Walk downstairs instead of up. Mildly WTF at Stanley dying of insanity.
4) Walk to the right, then to the left. Figure out that we're just on the normal track and give up.
5) Walk to the right, then down the stairs. Laugh nervously as the narrator's narrator starts in and fail to quit the game before Stanley dies... again.
EDIT: Aha, go down in the elevator.
Brilliantly written.

This was great. Very funny.
Totally not what I expected from a small group of independent developers. This was pretty neat.
Paypal'ing a voice actor over the internet makes a world of difference over trying to DIY voicework. It probably didn't cost very much, either. 100 bucks, maybe?
It reminded me of when I first played Portal. Such a tight little package of creative genius.
Hey, I have a blog! (Actually being updated again!)

Mostly because of the high quality of the voice acting, but also due to the writing
It takes itself just seriously enough to make it's points stick, but is just playful enough to not seem unbearably pretentious or self-important
Also I like how all the endings tie into each other despite being wholly separate occurrences
It's really a tremendous bit of video game narrative
