DO NOT press the button...

The Corridor is an incredible narrated puzzle game, similar to the Stanley Parable, that is about NOT pressing a button!

I saw this video, then bought the game and got every achievement. Fun game for sure! By the way, I can confirm that pulling the "SAVE DATA" plug at the end does in fact erase your save data, causing you to start back at the beginning.

Omg that's both horrifying and amazing XD

Yep, did that at the end of my video. Oops. For some reason, it is really cheap.

[@agustinbarquero8898]

It literally is written in the description.

[@fullmoonshadow6967]

As someone who's relatively tech-savvy, I'd imagine the "i'm in your pc" thing to have been a set of code that forces the window to "fake close" by hiding in the background, allowing it to act as an invisible process that still plays noise. The black screen is the program coming back out of hiding to cover what's there before closing.

[@stilles342]

No. In order to make Steam say it's closed, you actually have to close the application.

[@leviathanx0815]

What a strange and unique game concept. But, the whole time I wondered if something would happen, when you just stand in front of the button, staring at it and do nothing for a couple of minutes.

[@timtom2016]

17:44 Pretty sure it was done by firstly hiding the game window(if the text was not edited in, it probably took a screenshot of your main monitor and display it with overlayed text) and then creating 2 black windows on all other monitors

[@rondowar]

that, or just a transparent graphic, then full black graphic on all monitors, and then actually closing for real ^^

[@SpeedRunner33333]

I have the game, and can provide information. It probably takes a screenshot of the screen before opening the game, as no buttons would work and it would show my desktop if launched from there.

[@betongameindonesia]

The part with the voice on the steam page is actually really easy to do when programming. you just make the window transparent (yes you can do this) and remove the title bar (with the 3 buttons on the top right). Then just fill it with black. the game obviously still runs at this point...

Floating islands are generally found on marshlands, lakes, and similar wetland locations, and can be many hectares in size... I got you covered.. you weren't silly 👍

[@finnieflipflops1072]

Cool! anyway, here is the recipie for brownies! - 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter - 2 cups granulated sugar - 4 large eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 cup all-purpose flour - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 1 cup chopped nuts (optional) Instructions: 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. 2. In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. 3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. 4. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts into the batter. 5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly 6. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). 7. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy your homemade brownies! :)

there are some 'islands' that are made of tightly packed moss that does float.

[@DarmiGames]

iirc, if you open the game again, there's a thank you. Also there's a computer with a web browser. You can put your channel there and it'll show the channel page. He then asks nicely, that because you showed it off to people for free, so he asks for the viewers to also buy the game even if they don't play it. I did it after seeing a video of a guy playing the game. I loved playing the game even tho I've already seen it on the video

Most modern games match your screen resolution and maximize the window by default, so it's not so hard to hide the window while the game is still running, then bring it back up as a black screen etc, really cool implementation though, got to say.

To answer the question about what game has better value: I have over 7,000 hours in Factorio. (I don't know the exact number because I bought it from the website before it was on Steam so I don't know how much playtime I have before Steam started keeping track for me. I paid $20 for Factorio originally. According to my math, that means it has a cost of less than 0.0048 U.S. cents per minute.
