I already did the other 9 achievements and this one is bugging me. I've read that you need to have game open during the duration of a Tuesday, but I was wondering if there is a easy way to do it, since the game is so tricky.

Another option:

In order to get this achievement you just need to:

  1. Set your computer time to 11:58pm on a Monday.
  2. Launch the game.
  3. I'm not sure about starting to play, but I did.
  4. Then you should set your computer to go into hibernation mode.
  5. Turn off and then turn on the computer.
  6. But don't boot into the system, go into the BIOS.
  7. Change the system time to about 11:57pm on Tuesday.
  8. Save, exit and boot into the system.
  9. Play a game a bit and enjoy getting an achievement!

FYI, you can see I have gotten this achievement here.

I've tried this myself, and when they say you have to play the game for the entire duration of a Tuesday, they mean the entire duration, as in a full 24-hour period.

The most reliable way to do this would be to try keeping the game open from 11:59 PM on Monday, to 12:01 AM on Wednesday (times are based on your own system and not on the time at Valve). Also, you should turn off any sleep function on your computer that would shut down the game.

I just unlocked this achievement in "The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe", and I've made kind of an interesting observation. Keep in mind that since this is technically a different game, this answer may not apply. They're both The Stanley Parable, and they both have this (seemingly) exact same achievement, so chances are it works exactly the same way, but it's also possible that this is just a change that was made for the new version.

So the thing is, when I say I just unlocked it, that's not entirely true. Rather, I just realized I've unlocked it. I had left the game running for the entire Tuesday, and towards midnight I tabbed back into it so I could witness the achievement pop up. But that didn't happen. Slightly worried something didn't work, I opened the Steam overlay, only to notice I do in fact already have the achievement, except that it had unlocked hours earlier, at around 2pm.

My theory for why this happened: I had actually already attempted this achievement a week earlier, but it failed, most likely because my device went to sleep after some time of inactivity, and I didn't realize that would invalidate the achievement. I only woke it back up around noon, and I think I've left it on consistently for the rest of the day after that.

So it looks like when they say "the entire duration of a Tuesday", they don't require you to do it all in one sitting, at least not in the Ultra Deluxe version. Apparently, it's enough to keep the game running from 2pm to midnight on one Tuesday, and then from midnight to 2pm on another Tuesday, because when combined, every moment of a Tuesday has been accounted for.
