Running The Stanley Parable

Hello all,

I just did some experimenting and managed to run The Stanley Parable on a Windows computer without installing Half-Life 2. You will need to install Steam but it does work.

To install, first download version 1.4 (located here) and open the .zip file. In it you will find a folder called thestanleyparable (all one word). You must move this file into the Steam Source Mods folder usually located at C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods or C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\sourcemods depending on where you installed Steam.

Note: You cannot just move the .zip file. That will not work.

Once you move thestanleyparable into sourcemods, The Stanley Parable will be in your Steam Library next time you restart Steam. The first time you run it it will need to install Source, but after that it should run smoothly.

For further info and gameplay instructions, please refer to the readme.txt file located in the 1.4 .zip file.

For you Mac users, I apologize but you will have to either buy Half-Life 2 ($9.99 through Steam) or watch the video.

Regards,
Ms Bommarito
