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 :D
This download conveniently installs and launches the Mac OSX version of the Stanley Parable v1.4. Half Life 2 is still required.
This download conveniently installs and launches the Mac OSX version of the Stanley Parable v1.4. You still need to have Half Life 2 installed to your computer. All you should need to do is open the .dmg and then open the launcher. If it's not working, check the readme.
Additions to v1.4 include:
-Numerous bug fixes
-Closed Captioning in English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish and Turkish
-Opening scene now skippable anytime throughout the scene
-Updated Stanley's monitor to include text
-Modified elevator to include arrows on the buttons
-Updated keypad in boss's office to include screen
-Converted all *.wav files to *.mp3 to significantly reduce file size
Thank you to Collin Eddings for this remastered version of the game, and to Rory Sinclair for porting it to Mac!

Script cannot find the hl2_osx binary.
Is HL2 installed?
YES IT IS!! I know I have the hl2_osx, b/c i found it and ran it.
How do I get this to find it?!
You sir, are a genius. This without a doubt is my favorite HL2 mod of all time. The fact that to could fit so much awesomness into such a simplistic mod is beyond me. You need to make more like this!
It keeps telling me (even though it was working a few days ago) that I don't have HL2 installed plus other error messages. I am re-downloading/installing to see if that helps.
I have a Let's Play of this on my channel if you're interested :) Youtube.com

Why won't it work? I just don't understand.
OK. I've done some digging and as Valve has kindly decided to move some of the file locations since the latest version of the Stanley parable was released it means the "run.sh" file needs modifying. you need to open the run.sh file in a text editor and scroll down a little to where the "#location of the binary" and change the line that says GAMEROOT="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/$STEAMUSERID/half-life 2" to GAMEROOT="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Half-life 2"
This is as far as i have got, yes it now finds the hl2_osx file but it still fails to launch and complains about not being able to find a loading background .vtf file. which isnt in the folder it should be.
Just to be crystal clear about the method so far:
right click The Stanley Parable app and click "show package contents"
go to Contents/MacOS/run.sh
open this in a text editor
find the line of code that says "#location of the binary" and replace the line below with
GAMEROOT="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/Half-life 2"
