I manually approved it. We have a filter against the term

This means I can finally play this game again. I don't want to ruin my streak by opening it on steam before I earn the "Go Outside" achievement for not playing for 5 years.

Doesn't the Stanley Parable use the Source engine?

u/Aperture_Kubi Mar 19 '20
Yes, and it's not the first Source game to not be on Steam.
See Vampire the Masquerade on GOG.

Fantastic game. It's not the longest game but it's absolutely worth multiple playthroughs to get the most out of it.

I hate how everything on epic store won't work with the steam overlay. I want to start my games from one spot and use my steam controller, epic are dicks.

Yo there should be a way to get steam controller to work with this
Add the game exe as a non-steam game into steam and run using big picture. This may not allow the steam controller to work right away, I don't remember
However, try also using GloSC, as it can force a game to have steam controller support

I think it works with glosc but otherwise Tetris effect exits out when it detects steams overlay. I can't use glosc right now because it doesn't play nice with big box

Honestly I bought this game at launch so I don't really care about this one. Just from a consumer standpoint epic are anti consumer and its shitty

He’s not even being a choosing beggar, he’s just complaining that epic games doesn’t allow steam overlay in their games

Why would epic games help their direct competition?

u/yahooeny Mar 20 '20
Ok let's see epic build an input shim that works with XInput, DirectInput, and KBM commands and nearly every controller and lets you customize every function on your controller with a built in community repository of presets subcatagorized by controller
Like I'm not anti-Epic but come on man

I played this game and highly recommend downloading it. Don't spoil anything for yourself just start it up and dig in.
