Stuck in starting room in Stanley Parable

the-stanley-parable

I started a game of the Stanley Parable, I am in the starting office room. I walked out of the room, walked back into it and started clicking around. The door of the office closed on me and won't open no matter what I do. I have clicked on what seems like every object in the office and yet nothing is happening. What do I do? Is the game broken?

Please limit spoilers as much as possible.

There is a bug where sometimes you can go back through a door while it is closing and locking. Try to avoid doing this, but if you get stuck as a result, simply hit Escape and begin the game from the start.
