How to get the "Unachieveable" Achievement!!!
By pppedro_
1) Close the game!
2) Edit your config file, it is located in your Steam folder. For example: D:\Steam\SteamApps\common\The Stanley Parable\thestanleyparable\cfg\config.cfg just open it with a text editor
3) Add this line to the file (in a new row): bind "x" "~;_u"
4) Save the file then right-click it and chose properties.
5) Check the attribute "Read-only" and save this change. This will make sure that the game won't overwrite your new key bind
6) Open the game and start a new game
7) Hit the "x" key
8) Wait a few seconds
9) Achievement Unlocked!

(In case you have not, make sure console is enabled. There are guides on it)

1. Start the game (Not fully. just the menu). 2. Enter the text into the console. 3. Start a new game 4. Start console again. (I have it set to "`", others have it at "c"). 5. Enter the text into the console. 6. Walk out of the office and you will have it in a few seconds!

Much easier if you have console enabled.

I did it in an easier way. Use this for copy/paste. Instructions are in my next comment.

Can you make this guide a bit more specific? Like give an example of a text editor? and where the "Read-only" attribute is?

This guide still works (04/02/2017), but it's not well explained. Rightclick the game in Steam and open it's properties. Go to 'Local Files' and hit 'Browse Local Files..' then search within the folder for 'config.cfg'. Open it with a text-editor and insert after 'unbindall' a new empty line and write in it:
bind "a" "+moveleft"
Save the file and open it's properties via rightclick. Remember: The option 'read-only' or 'write-protected won't work!!! Switch to Security and hit 'Edit..'. Then select your username in the list and check 'Write' as 'Deny'. Close all dialogues with OK. Start the game and hit the key 'X' some times. Then begin a new walkthrough and hit 'X' also some times. Quit to the main menu and hit 'X' again some times. Now wait a moment and the achievement should unlock. After that don't forget to revoke the file security properties - uncheck deny write. :2016watermelon: :lovebubble:

The name is bollocks. It is completely achievable. I just dont know exactly what i did.
Maybe it was just enough restarts. Although i suspect it happened after one of the many different endings when i answered the phone in the first room after Stanley's office. The same phone that sometimes says something about the danger of recorded messages. The time when i got this achievment, i heard "Stanley's wife" talking on the phone.

Weird. I got this achievement just by starting the game over and over and over again. I didn't do any console commands.

@bloof This is the legit way, the only possible way to get it.

It worked for me, thanks a lot :)
I remain curious about the rightful way about getting this acheivement,
if any one has won it by accident, he should talk :p
It does feel a little bit like cheating this way, but the game is so smart, I think the Dev would approve this sneaky method :sherlockhead:
