The Stanley Parable (Video Game)	comment	Having clicked on a link to this article, be it from another article or from a search results page, the reader began to read the description.The Stanley Parable is a 2011 Environmental Narrative Game by Davey Wreden, which began life as a modification of Valve Software's Source engine. It is now also a standalone release on Steam (and later, Humble Bundle), colloquially known as the "HD Remix", which was released on October 17, 2013. While the standalone release expands on the formula, the idea behind both releases is largely the same.The game follows the story of a man named Stanley, who spends his days pushing buttons as commanded by his boss, who issues orders to his workers via a system of monitors. However, one day Stanley notices that he hasn't been given any orders in hours, and finds that all of his co-workers have disappeared, so he sets out to discover what happened to them. What follows are events that change his life forever.Without giving too much away (because it's a comedy game at its core and we don't want to spoil the jokes), the game is an interesting exploration of interactivity that serves as a send-up of, and commentary on, the nature of choice and predestination in video games, while not-so-indirectly also commenting on, and questioning, our own real-life existence. The Narrator is the sort of character you love to hate, like GLaDOS from the Portal games, and his light-hearted but sometimes dark dialogue makes the game not just thought-provoking but also fun to play. You can download the original Source mod here, and buy the HD Remake from Humble Bundle as a DRM-free download or from Steam. The lead designer went on to make the Spiritual Successor The Beginner's Guide, while the co-designer released Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist and then teamed up with Justin Roiland to create Accounting.In December 2018, it was announced that the game would be receiving another Updated Re-release entitled The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, featuring more choices and endings; within the game itself, it is also styled as The Stanley Parable 2 (among other things). This version released on PC and consoles on April 27th, 2022.The reader was then informed that there are unmarked spoilers in this article, so they ought to proceed with caution. They have a choice in the matter, of course. Doesn't really matter though, in the end. The tropes are still here.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_10fe7cc1	type	Blamed for Being Railroaded
The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_10fe7cc1	comment	Blamed for Being Railroaded: Parodied: The Games ending leads to a minigame where the player must press a button repeatedly to stop a cardboard cutout of a baby from approaching a fire. As the only way to win the game is to press the button for four hours, it's likely the player will get bored and leave. Doing so has the Narrator berate Stanley, asking him why he hates babies. During the Real Person ending, Stanley heads to his boss's office to put in the password and continue the story. However, the keypad has been replaced with a voice box requiring Stanley to speak the password. Problem is, Stanley can't speak and the game has no way of receiving audio from the player. This being the latest in a series of disruptions by your actions, the Narrator grows absolutely furious at the player even though you can't do anything to fix the problem. The Narrator then responds by kicking the player out of Stanley, only to find that without the player, Stanley can't do anything. In the Apartment ending, the Narrator leads Stanley into a room and berates them for pressing the button prompts that appear onscreen, supposedly proving that the player is too stupid to do anything but follow orders. Pressing anything but the prompted button gives no response, however, and there is no way out of the room. But in this case, it's deliberate; the Narrator is fed up with the player screwing up his story and railroaded them into a scenario where you can do nothing but fail. In the Ultra Deluxe ending, the Skip Button ending has shades of this - once you become trapped in the walled-off room with the Narrator after the door goes missing, there is no option for Stanley but to continue clicking the button in order to progress. Even as the time skips get larger and the Narrator pleads with you to stop pushing the button, apart from restarting the game entirely, you have no choice but to continue hitting it until he goes insane and eventually stops talking completely.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_12c9bd5b	comment	Workplace Horror: While the game is largely light-hearted and comedic, the premise is about the sole remaining employee in an office trying to figure out what happened to the rest of his coworkers, and the game can delve into some genuinely unnerving territory. The more Stanley explores his workplace, the more it is revealed that his workplace is an Eldritch Location, and it just goes from there.

The dialogue loops, so he continues saying it until the player presses the skip button again. There are some other points where the Narrator will start repeating the same phrase at the end of two endings: The Pawn ending and any futile attempt to redo the Countdown ending.

The "Raphael" trailer takes this to full extremes, showing an entirely different game instead called Raphael Presents: The Stanley Parable, by Raphael (although made-up). In addition, the "Raphael" trailer and demo promised "emotion booths", with the Narrator in the demo stating to the player that he has to save a few for the full game. None of them show up in the main game itself.

For The Stanley Parable 2, the Narrator devises a button that will say the name of the player once pressed in order to increase immersion; however, for the SP2 Expo, the button only says the name "Jim". One of the many buttons in the Epilogue can say "Stanley", however.

Employee 432 is the only other employee of note. Peering very closely at some scattered documents in the Mind Control Facility reveals he's somehow different from everyone else, possibly a control subject that's not under mind control. His desk is mysteriously absent of a computer or files; it just has one pencil sharpener and no chair. One item on the whiteboard in the meeting room is discussing "what to do with 432." And the impossible corridor in the Confusion ending file room overlooks a colossal repository of "Employee 432 Peer Reviews."

There's also "Click On Door 430 Five Times", which is meant to parody meaningless achievements. If you try to do exactly what the achievement says, the Narrator will express his disbelief about you being awarded an achievement for something so simple, and thus he'll send you all over the place doing all sorts of odd tasks in order to have you "work" for your achievement. In the demo, there's an achievement called "Video Games!!" given for "winning" the demo (read: doing a trivial task the narrator made up on the spot).

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_1e7487cd	type	Breaking the Fourth Wall
The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_1e7487cd	comment	Breaking the Fourth Wall: At one point, if Stanley disobeys the Narrator enough, he will arrive in a room where the walls contain the default developer texture, and there's a big box replacing the sky, with the Source skybox texture. The Narrator even mentions it. Of course, it gets better. Really, this crops up all over the place - it's integral to the nature and impact of the piece. At another point, you're presented with a keypad and your only means of learning the passcode is to wait for the Narrator to mention "Stanley had no way of knowing the passcode was 2845", and then remark on how "incredibly lucky" Stanley was to have managed to "guess" the code. Furthermore, on subsequent playthroughs, typing 2845 before the Narrator can narrate it to you results in him becoming incredibly flustered and cross with the player, forcing them to listen to some calming new age music before they can continue. Taken to another level with the demo that the Game Grumps played: Dan and Ross received a copy from the developers, unaware that it had been modified. Among other things, it addresses them by name, mentions the Steam Train audience, and even insults Ross. Youtuber Jacksepticeye actually got the Narrator to narrate the beginning of a playthrough video of the Ultra Deluxe version. Which begins to overlay his own voice as he reads from the same script.

To name but one example, one of the possible endings features Stanley discovering a mind-control device that has enslaved all of the employees of the company in which he works, and shutting it off - and this is the same ending in which the player mindlessly follows all of the Narrator's instructions to the letter.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_22cf536c	type	Chekhov's Gun
The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: Parodied in the HD Remix. The Narrator tells the player to look at a fern and study it closely, telling him it will be very important later on in the story. It never comes up again, nor is it mentioned for the rest of the game. Becomes doubly subverted when the fern reappears in Ultra Deluxe, in the final room of the Memory Zone in the Figurine Ending, as well as in the intervention at the beginning of the Bucket Destroyer Ending.. Another inversion: in the demo, when you get to the "8" button, the Narrator claims that there's no part of the full game where you press a button and a voice says "Eight". However, in the real game, you can actually do this on the keypad in the boss's office. (Though he did say that that particular button wouldn't have been part of the full game.) However, the 8 game does appear in Ultra Deluxe if you complete the Epilogue and increase the sequel count to 8, at which point you play the 8 game instead of the regular game. The only way to get back to the regular Stanley Parable is to close and reopen the game, thereby turning the game into The Stanley Parable 9. The Bucket in the Ultra Deluxe edition - seems to simply be a cute send-up to Portal at first, but after the Sequel ending, it turns out that not only is the Bucket now an obtainable item, it also alters the ending of every original ending, plus UD-only ones, effectively doubling the number of endings as well as making itself plot relevant.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_23698fa8	comment	The Narrator's "intended" story, as showcased in the Freedom ending. Though technically well-presented, the plot on display is a total mess—not only is it uninteresting from a gameplay and design perspective (since it's basically a straight line), but as a story, it has Stanley apparently figure out a problem by sheer luck, breaks its own moral with no apparent self-awareness, spends most of its time essentially telling the player how they should be feeling right now, and completely forgets about the initial plot hook of all Stanley's coworkers disappearing.

The narrator's got everything he's wanted, a Stanley who can't disobey at allâ€¦ because Stanley can't do anything without a human will behind him. The Narrator is distraught and begs Stanley to do something to give the story meaning, but this is where the credits roll.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_26ba32a3	comment	Ascended Glitch: There were two Game Breaking Bugs in the original mod; you could close the door to your office, trapping you inside, and you can kill yourself by repeatedly jumping off of the scaffolding in the Mind Control room. Both these eventually became fully fledged endings in the 2013 HD Remake (Coward and Zending, respectively, with the latter being done elsewhere in the game). There's the ability the trap yourself by stepping out of the elevator before the doors close. In HD, you can do this with the door to the boss' office, enabling another new ending. In the HD release, it was possible to climb over and fall to the bottom of the Mind Control Facility room, which left you stuck. You can still do this in the Ultra Deluxe re-release, but now the narrator chimes in after a moment, discussing the original bug, mockingly congratulating you for finding the 'bottom of the Mind Control Facility ending,' going on a tangent about how many players sent footage of the bug to the developers on Twitter and playing a goofy secret tune before restarting the game.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_29a39f6	comment	Easter Egg: A "Secret Disco" can be activated in the Monitor Room by taking specific steps instead of moving onto the Countdown Room. The Narrator will comment if Stanley closes both doors outside of employee 417's office instead of moving forward with the story. Typing in "secret" or "vinh" will activate Easter eggs in the credits. Dallas's mask from PAYDAY: The Heist can be found tucked away in a corner during the Adventure Lineâ„¢ portion of the Confusion Ending. Typing in "hideous" into the console will randomly load one of several wiki pages for cosmetic items in Team Fortress 2 that were made by Andrea JÃ¶rgensen, one of the 3D artists for The Stanley Parable. In the Ultra Deluxe version, during the Real Person route it's possible after riding the platform back to the other side of the warehouse to glitch though to get to the lower floor of the warehouse without dying. Doing so and going into the white room near the vans will start to play Thank You, Please from Accounting with noises of basketballs being shot into nets. This has since been patched to add an invisible wall next to the sign, rendering it inaccessible with saving your jumps. The Ultra Deluxe version has a copious amount of secrets hidden in out-of-bounds areas, as seen here. Easter eggs extend to The Stanley Parable website itself, with developer notes in the HTML and JS source code. Animation from Cas van de Pol is used twice in Ultra Deluxe content: during "The Stanley Parable, Sequels, and YOU!" video on the sequel's website, and during the Bottomless Pit dream sequence. An interactive laptop in the New New Content ending contains a reference to Crows Crows Crows' earlier game EAT: THE REVOLUTION. By exploiting a bug-turned-feature with the jump circle, the player can reach an otherwise-inaccessible area in the Vent ending and be treated to an Elden Ring Easter egg—"praise the jumping!"

It gets to the point where the Narrator invents an entire new character, the Bucket Destroyer, whose sole purpose is to kill the bucket.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b	comment	Unintentionally Unwinnable: Heavily parodied in the Window ending, where the narrator will make fun of Stanley for thinking that breaking the map would be such a big deal for some reason: Happens in the original mod if you get off of the elevator between the time when you push the button and when the elevator doors close. You can get stuck in the Portal room, just like the Portal game. Unlike in Portal, the Narrator chastises you for doing so, making it also (a rare case of) Unwinnable by Design. During the "Real Person" ending, you can jump out of the moving platform before the door closes, at which point there's no way to continue the story - one of the few rare cases of when Developer's Foresight does not apply. You do get a chance to closely examine the ground level of the storage room though since the fall doesn't kill you this time. There is even music and a white void when you exit the one open door at the bottom of the loading dock. You can do the same on the way back. You can also access the vent, but it doesn't go anywhere. In the monitor room in the HD Remix, it's possible to step onto one of the desks and jump off into the abyss. In this version, the game had no programmed response for that, and you simply stand at the bottom with no way out. The Ultra Deluxe edition addresses this bug with its own 'ending', including dialogue and a secret music track. During the Freedom ending, it's possible to fall off the catwalk right before heading outside, leaving you trapped in a dark void with no other option but to reset. Granted, if you do it during the Countdown ending, it won't change a thing. At the beginning, if you go through the right door during the Big First Choice moment, then try to get the Escape Pod ending later on, the door back to your office will lock and you'll be stuck. If you trigger the conditions for the Escape Pod ending and then jump out of the window in the starting area, the narrator won't resume speaking to chew you out for it. However, the end result will be mostly the same: being stuck with no way out but restart the game. In Ultra Deluxe, this was fixed and the window is blocked now when you return to it. If you go through the exit to the meeting room then quickly walk back in, the door will close and lock, trapping you inside and requiring a restart.

"Commitment" is similar, requiring you to play the game for 24 hours on a Tuesday; unlike Unachievable and Go Outside, which can be cheated in various ways, cheating this one requires a complicated meta work-around involving editing the clock on your BIOS after suspending your computer while the game is running if you want to avoid having to leave the game open literally all day. And then there's an achievement called "Achievement" with the description of "This is an achievement". You get it simply by triggering an option in the Extras menu.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_401d4116	comment	Broken Aesop: In-universe, this is the case for the Narrator's original story, as seen in the Freedom ending. The entire thematic thrust of it is supposed to be about Stanley freeing himself from an oppressive regime that controls everyone and locks them into a path where they do nothing but push buttons, ultimately escaping to live a life where he can make his own choices. The thing is, the Narrator's idea of how to communicate these themes is to stick Stanley on a tight, linear path and have him do whatever the Narrator tells him to (which is usually pushing buttons). The ending even takes camera and movement control away from the player once Stanley reaches the outside world. And of course, whenever Stanley tries to express any degree of personal agency, the Narrator treats it as a personal affront.

The Narrator claims that Stanley and his wife reconcile and achieve a happy ending, while in reality, the Apartment ending ends in the Narrator giving Stanley a long "The Reason You Suck" Speech and pointing out the futility of his job and his life before the game resets yet again. In Ultra Deluxe, part of the Skip Button ending involves reading a negative Steam review from "Cookie9" that states the Narrator is patronizing, droning, and long-winded, and requests the titular Skip feature. Much later, in the Epilogue, the first review for The Stanley Parable 2 you find is from Cookie9's Blog, and it begins with the line "Like so many, I enjoyed my time with the original Stanley Parable". In Ultra Deluxe, the Narrator claims that Stanley used his bucket to cushion his fall in the bucket version of the Bottom of the Mind Control Facility ending. But when the Narrator uses the same argument during the bucket version of the Cold Feet ending to convince Stanley that he can survive the jump, it clearly doesn't work.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e	comment	Bittersweet Ending: Some of the endings fit into this, mostly because your attempt to establish your own freedom ends up with Stanley dead, or worse. Some of them don't end well for the Narrator either. Particular examples include: The Freedom ending, although ostensibly the Golden Ending, still sees Stanley blindly following the instructions of a more powerful entity, and never making his own decisions. Just like his role as Employee 427, this is only the "good ending" because the Narrator decides that Stanley is happy. The Confusion ending has the most jovial tone overall, with Stanley and the Narrator actually getting along quite well and enjoying their hunt for the story together - but then they find the Confusion ending schedule and realize there's someone ELSE pulling the strings, even controlling the Narrator. The scheduled ending is also particularly depressing, as it was intended to end with the Narrator disappearing and Stanley dying after a long time of isolation. The Narrator refuses to continue down this path, and is punished with a hard reset of the game that puts him and Stanley back as they were - but by taking a stand, he prevents the game from proceeding down the much more depressing scheduled ending, making this a truly bittersweet conclusion.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_415b3315	type	Stylistic Suck
The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_415b3315	comment	Stylistic Suck: In the demo, the Narrator takes the player through a tour of game design, showing faults in each room that aren't intended to be in the full game—and of course, each of these faults had to be intentionally implemented. The Narrator's "intended" story, as showcased in the Freedom ending. Though technically well-presented, the plot on display is a total mess—not only is it uninteresting from a gameplay and design perspective (since it's basically a straight line), but as a story, it has Stanley apparently figure out a problem by sheer luck, breaks its own moral with no apparent self-awareness, spends most of its time essentially telling the player how they should be feeling right now, and completely forgets about the initial plot hook of all Stanley's coworkers disappearing. The Games ending has you play a mini-game the Narrator created himself, in which you must repeatedly press a button to keep a stock image of a baby from going into a fire. Terrible enough on its own, and that's not even getting into the obnoxious buzzing sound the button makes and the crying of the baby. Oh, and the Narrator tells you to play this for four hours straight. If you decide you had enough and purposely lose, the Narrator will ask you if you hate babies and then angrily switch to much better games. In the Ultra Deluxe version, partway through the Figley/Stanlurine ending, the Narrator will show you a very low-quality Windows Movie Maker video he made of the fifth Stanley figurine you collected, whichever one that was.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_42c9f1ec	comment	At first glance, the baby game seems like it would be very easy to cheat by using an auto-clicker to repeatedly press the button and keep the baby from crawling into the fire. But play it for long enough, and the Narrator introduces a twist in the game: a second button that prevents a puppy from being dunked into a pool of piranhas. While still susceptible to macro inputs, setting such up is severely more complicated.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_42d9daf9	comment	No Fair Cheating: Attempting to activate sv_cheats in the console sends you away into a Serious Room where the Narrator locks you away for one hundred billion trillion years. Do it again, and he increases your sentence to infinity years note Of course, you can just quit and start the game again, so it doesn't really matter. It is possible to cheat without being sent to the Serious Room, but it requires you to put all of the game content into another file, so it's a smart idea to backup the content first, just in case. The demo, on the other hand, just asks "Why????". At first glance, the baby game seems like it would be very easy to cheat by using an auto-clicker to repeatedly press the button and keep the baby from crawling into the fire.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_47e4f5f5	comment	Golden Ending: An ironic variant. Stanley can shut down the mind control device and escape to freedom. The Narrator describes how Stanley has thrown off his shackles and demonstrated what he can do when there's no one to tell him what to do. Ironically, the only way to get this ending is to do exactly what the Narrator tells you to do. Worse, the Narrator says there was no longer anyone to tell Stanley what to think or feel, and that he is happy. On the other hand, the completely Off the Rails endingsnote Listed under Multiple Endings as "Real Person", or "Joke Timing" if it's Ultra Deluxe with the bucket may be considered a Golden Ending, since they end with the player effectively disconnected from the game, and they actually end with the game's credits.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_4e3d253b	type	Downer Ending
The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_4e3d253b	comment	Downer Ending: Some of the endings fit into this, mostly because your attempt to establish your own freedom ends up with Stanley dead, or worse. Some of them don't end well for the Narrator either. Particular examples include: Zending, in which the Narrator really does want to make Stanley happy, and proves it by taking him to the Starry Dome. However, Stanley instead chooses to leave and throw himself off a balcony repeatedly until he dies, all while the Narrator pleads with him to stop, saying that he doesn't want to go back to who he was, and expressing great sadness that Stanley would rather kill himself than allow the Narrator to be happy for once. Real Person is particularly brutal for the Narrator, as you, the player, derail his story so brutally that it is completely beyond repair, forcing him to boot you out of Stanley's body - but as Stanley cannot function without a player, the ending concludes with the Narrator pleading with Stanley to make a choice, any choice, as the game's credits roll by. The Skip Button ending is by far the cruelest ending for the Narrator - while exploring the game's new content, the Narrator shows Stanley a skip button he created to please fans who didn't like his long-winded dialogue, only for them to end up trapped in a room with no way out, with the only option available being to press the skip button. In addition, the more times the button is pressed, the longer the skips become, and the Narrator is left completely alone and trapped in the room with Stanley's unresponsive body every time he does it. As the Narrator spends longer and longer spans of time alone, he slowly begins to go insane from loneliness, and eventually disappears altogether, leaving Stanley to continue clicking the button as hundreds - or maybe thousands - of years go by.

However, Stanley instead chooses to leave and throw himself off a balcony repeatedly until he dies, all while the Narrator pleads with him to stop, saying that he doesn't want to go back to who he was, and expressing great sadness that Stanley would rather kill himself than allow the Narrator to be happy for once.

Lampshaded when the Narrator suggests Stanley was just pressing random buttons to get the correct number. In The HD Remake, if you press the buttons before the Narrator says them, the Narrator will berate you, then tell you to calm down. The next time he'll just open it right off the bat since you insist on rushing. Also, if you don't enter the code after he tells you ("Stanley could not possibly know that the code was 2-8-4-5"), he becomes irritated that you're not taking the hint.

If you repeatedly enter the broom closet, the Narrator will board it up on subsequent runs.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8	type	Guide Dang It!
The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8	comment	Guide Dang It!: A few of the endings in the HD Remix are not immediately obvious. Two of the endings, particularly (Games and Zending) require you to jump off of a lift and land on a catwalk while the Narrator is still talking. The Escape Pod ending is the only ending that requires (hell, allows) you to backtrack, and even then, you have to backpedal around in a split-second moment at a specific point in the story (turning around or backing up immediately after entering Stanley's boss's office) which isn't even hinted at. The Real Person ending requires you to unplug the telephone in the room after the lift. Even the Narrator is baffled that you somehow would think to do this. The Window ending requires you to, well, jump out a window. This is somewhat hampered by the fact that you can't jump. You have to climb over desks. The Heaven ending requires you to input something into computers in five consecutive playthroughs, finished or otherwise. Counterintuitive enough on its own, but even if you manage to pick up on the pattern of the ones in the cubicles, the fact one of the computers is the boss's secretary's desk on an entirely different floor and much further in the story can easily stump players. Ultra Deluxe has a few of its own: The Press Conference ending requires you to ride the elevator down from the boss' office... and then ride it back up, something that wasn't possible in the original. Not only that, but you have to repeatedly ride the elevator up and down, visiting the office each time before the ending properly locks in. Like the Out of Bounds endings, the Bottom of the Mind Control Facility endings require you to perform an action that was considered a bug in the original game to reach. Unlocking the Epilogue. Not only do you have to collect all the figurines and sit through the ending that comes with it, but you also have to close and reopen the game itself repeatedly in order to exhaust the pre-title settings and dialog. The latter is only hinted at once in the meeting room after the restart following said figurine ending, and is extremely easy to miss if you don't visit it during that time.

In Ultra Deluxe, after unlocking the Settings World Champion room, the Narrator unlocks a new setting called "Bumpscosity", which ranges in value from 0 to 1000. Toggling the value will cause the Narrator to remark on the level of Bumpscosity at the start of a run, all the while never explaining what, exactly, it is.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_863fa679	comment	What Happened to the Mouse?: Most of the endings, including the "Golden" one, give no answer to the very mystery that set the story off: what happened to everyone else in the building? The mystery's addressed (to some extent, anyway) in the Countdown ending. The Narrator made them all vanish, simply to kick the story off. Of course, that's just what happened in that specific instance. The Narrator changes things up every time.

A literal example when the Narrator locks Stanley inside a room, stuck with only a ringing phone the Narrator insists you must answer. You can actually unplug the phone, refusing the call and confounding the Narrator.

In fact, at the end of the trailer, the game's title shows on screen with a cash machine's 'ding!' sound.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_8becc5c5	type	Existential Horror
The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_8becc5c5	comment	Existential Horror: While seeming like a comedy game, viewers and players have often reported feeling distinctly uncomfortable, horrified, and confused by the experience. The game gives the mere illusion of choice where regardless of what you do, youâ€™ll end right back at the beginning. Completely alone, trapped in the same building you can never escape regardless of your actions. It creates a rather claustrophobic experience in spite of the humorous surface. In Ultra Deluxe, the Skip Button ending takes this up to eleven. The Narrator is forced to experience the passage of time completely alone as Stanley skips past hours, then days, then weeks, then years. He begins to completely unravel his sense of being, questioning not only who he is but what he is, describing in great detail the existential fear he experienced in the year(s) he was alone, before eventually being reduced to simply repeating a Madness Mantra on loop, and then nothing.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_9203bf6	type	Arc Number
The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_9203bf6	comment	Arc Number: The number 'eight' seems to be pretty big in the game. There were eight endings in the original mod note including two 'glitch' endings (locking yourself in your office and killing youself by jumping off of the scaffolding in the mind control room), these two were made into proper endings in the HD Remake, the demo at one point puts you into a room with a button that simply says "eight" every time it's pushed, there were supposed to be eight restarts for the Confusion ending according to its schedule, the announcer for the instructional video during the Real Person ending suggests you make at least eight choices per day, and pressing the '8' button on the keypad in the boss' office eight times will give you an achievement note both the title and description of which consists only of "8888888888888"s. In Ultra Deluxe, during the Confusion Ending, there's a readable document right outside the section with Employee 432's peer reviews. It details how 432 was being observed day by day, and his eventual disappearance on Day 3212, following his breakdown. Converting, 3212 days becomes 8.8 years. Becomes meta upon the release of Ultra Deluxe. There's a little over an eight-year gap between the HD Remake and Ultra Deluxe, those who already own the HD Remake get a 33% discount for Ultra Deluxe in the first two weeks after the latter's launch, thus saving $8.25, and the launch date for Ultra Deluxe contains four twos, which add up to eight. Stanley's employee number (427) is a pretty big one as well. Ultra Deluxe was released on April 27 (4/27). The eighth song of Ultra Deluxe's soundtrack is literally called "8". Guess what it says? If you complete Ultra Deluxe's Epilogue and keep relaunching the game until you play The Stanley Parable 8, you're stuck in the 'Button That Says 8' room from the original demo until you restart.

The scheduled ending is also particularly depressing, as it was intended to end with the Narrator disappearing and Stanley dying after a long time of isolation. The Narrator refuses to continue down this path, and is punished with a hard reset of the game that puts him and Stanley back as they were - but by taking a stand, he prevents the game from proceeding down the much more depressing scheduled ending, making this a truly bittersweet conclusion.

In Ultra Deluxe: Tom Schley sprinkles Blake Robinson's original leitmotif in the track "The Stanley Parable 2". "Good Job. You've Made It To The Bottom of The Mind Control Facility. Well Done." and "Home Sweet Home" share a leitmotif. The final moments of "Epilogue" are a distorted, melancholic version of the leitmotif used in "New New Content".

This gets turned up to 11 in the Elevator ending. This is triggered if Stanley repeatedly rides the secret elevator up and down, with the Narrator getting increasingly impatient with him for doing something so stupid and pointless when he should just be following the obvious path forward. After several repetitions the Narrator decides to lead Stanley to a press conference where he will give a talk on innovation and creativity in storytelling since he's such a genius disruptor to the status quo. The backstage section Stanley must walk through is incredibly lavish, with posters advertising Stanley's speech alongside ads for events featuring other monumental figures such as the man who invented pizza, Alexander the Great, and the World Peace Baby. There are also notes from Stanley's boss and coworkers in his dressing room area congratulating him on his achievements, as well as a copy of a book apparently written by Stanley called Up Again, Down Again. It ends with Stanley stepping out onto a huge stage to the massive cheers of thousands of his fans.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_ad755915	type	That One Achievement
The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_ad755915	comment	That One Achievement: Invoked and parodied. The game includes Go Outside, which requires the player to not play The Stanley Parable for 5 years, and Unachievable, which periodically gets changed by the game developer once people figure out how to get it (and which also is randomized — you only get it by fulfilling the conditions of getting it about one time in 15, meaning that it is hard to tell what, exactly, you did to earn it). 8888888 is easier, but the description is just 88888888 so good luck figuring that out. "Commitment" is similar, requiring you to play the game for 24 hours on a Tuesday; unlike Unachievable and Go Outside, which can be cheated in various ways, cheating this one requires a complicated meta work-around involving editing the clock on your BIOS after suspending your computer while the game is running if you want to avoid having to leave the game open literally all day. And then there's an achievement called "Achievement" with the description of "This is an achievement". You get it simply by triggering an option in the Extras menu. The Ultra Deluxe edition not only reuses the Commitment achievement from the original, it's upgraded Go Outside to Super Go Outside and extended the wait time to ten years. There's also "Settings World Champion", which requires adjusting every single slider in the Options menu to every possible value, and "Test achievement please ignore", which requires unlocking and completing the Epilogue, then replaying the Sequel ending now that the Settings Person has fixed the achievement-granting machine.

Strangely, the game itself can be seen as an assault on this sort of attitude from developers. In the HD remix's Pawn ending, wherein the Narrator exults, pompously, that he's the only one able to make Stanley see that his life is meaningless, dreary, that no one will actually like him, that he's doomed to only follow others, and that only the Narrator has the power to force him to understand that he's nothing - and that enlightenment is only possible through him.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_bef696dd	comment	Mind Screw: The game preys on the psychology, training, and paranoia of gamers, and then does it six times over with the different endings (eighteen times in the full game), each poking a different gaming nerve, and doing a bang-up job with it. The Insane ending has the Narrator become self-aware and describe himself. Even before that, describe the limitations of the game (such as Stanley not being able to see his feet or why doors automatically close). The Confusion ending lists eight possible restarts, with "Find the Confusion Ending Schedule" listed before the fifth restart — the exact time and place the player finds it. Even though the Narrator doesn't reset the game like the schedule says to, it eventually does reset, and, as the next bullet point says, the Narrator has forgotten all about that (as he usually forgets about things when the game resets after an ending has played out.) At this point, choosing the right door and looking through the first window on the right shows the Adventure Line appearing once again — just as described under "Sixth Restart" — but with no way to get to it. The narrator's dialogue generally remains the same after every restart, with the Narrator parroting the same line regarding Stanley's coworkers. However, there is always a small chance that he will say something completely different, often catching repeat players off-guard.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_c335b9ec	comment	Irony: The narrator's intended story is about how Stanley's life is being controlled by mysterious powers through screens and computer inputs. You get the Freedom ending by obeying the narration. It's far from the only ironic thing in the game, but it's the most blatant one by far. It is also by far the most boring story you can get, but it's what the prima donna Narrator is always shooting for, his masterpiece, that nobody else can possibly appreciate. The Real Person PSA says that if you ever meet someone who doesn't make sense, they're probably not a real person. Of course, it's fiction where everything usually makes sense, as real life is more complicated than fiction. The red door that the narrator insists up to three times that Stanley goes through results in him having a Despair Event Horizon and having his happy ending stripped away, while the blue door just annoys him and ends with him having the last word.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_c3c18143	comment	In the Ultra Deluxe Skip Button ending, Stanley presses the skip button so many times that the narrator eventually goes mad from sitting in total isolation while Stanley was frozen, repeating the game's signature phrase of "The End Is Never The End" over and over again. When Stanley presses the button again after this, the narrator disappears altogether, leaving Stanley completely alone in a dark, windowless, doorless room that steadily desiccates with the passage of time. After Stanley presses the button a few more times, the office's smoke alarm goes off seemingly at random, which smoke alarms do after they're about to run out of batteries, something that generally takes around 9 years to happen. Pressing the button several more times after this, players get a Hope Spot of tranquility as peaceful music and the sounds of birds can be heard over green, sunlit shrubbery, presumably long after the extinction of humanity has allowed nature to reclaim the world. Then things get scary. Pressing the button again, the world is now enveloped by complete darkness, with no life evident. Then it happens - you hear something through the lightless ruins of the concaved ceiling, in the unseeable blackness: eerie screeches like the screams of a terrible nightmare, and there is no indication of what it is. It is only when Stanley presses the button one final time that the world has daylight again, and he is able to leave the office building ruins into a sunlit desert. What exactly happened to the earth up to this point, and where those sounds came from, is entirely left up to interpretation.

Depending on player choices, he may go back between the rooms repeatedly to tease him, which he eventually lampshades. In the Escape Pod ending, the game resets seconds before Stanley enters the pod, due to the narrator having abandoned him. In the Apartment ending (and the lead-up to the Real Person ending), the narrator builds up Stanley getting to go home and be happy with his wife... only for it to be revealed his wife is a mannequin and the apartment was his office all along, as well as implying all of the exciting adventures throughout the rest of the game were all in his imagination. In the Game Awards trailer for Ultra Deluxe, Stanley is visiting a travel website on a computer in one of the offices. Just as he's about to buy tickets for his dream vacation, the Narrator corners Stanley, drops him back into his office, and excitedly tells him about the new content he's going to put Stanley through, the poor man trying to escape all the while. In Ultra Deluxe, the Bucket version of the Freedom ending sees Stanley being denied his escape because the building itself doesn't want him to leave with the Reassurance Bucket.

He ends by calling what he said a victory for logic. However if, by a cheat, we open the left door, as seen here, we see that the left door leads back to the same circular room with the two doors through the right door, which leads to the Schedule...

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The original includes one storyline that drops you into a Half-Life 2 level. The HD remake uses Minecraft and Portal in this, while Ultra Deluxe uses Firewatch and Rocket League. The demo has a wall of "Famous Demos", including Gunpoint, Metal Gear Solid, Half-Life, and Kentucky Route Zero. The developer offices in the Sequel route feature a whiteboard with "Sequels are good" written on it, with several titles listed below, including Half-Life 2, Portal 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 (City), Divinity: Original Sin II, Doom II, Aladdin 2: Return of Jafar, and Dark Souls II. Another whiteboard in the Sequel route features the original look of the offices and an updated look. Above the former and latter are Old + Busted, New Hotness. The presentation logo ideas in the New New Content ending include references to The Last of Us 2, The Beginner's Guide, and Resident Evil Village. Among papers in the office areas of the remake include a "TPS report" head by the logo "Initech" (from Office Space), and immigration documentation. There are a few props referencing other indie games scattered throughout the office in different endings. You can find a doodle of the main characters from Ittle Dew in a hallway in the Zending route, and you can find Dallas's default mask in a corner during the Confusion ending. In Ultra Deluxe, one of the sheets of paper strewn about the office, located at the bottom of the stairs leading to the Insane ending, is one of the notes from Gone Home. One of the e-mails shown in the museum reads: The player avatars that appear on the scoreboard from the Games Ending include Nightmare, the Soldier, C-3PO, Ness, Cookie Monster, the player character from Journey (2012), Squidward, and if one looks closely while the scoreboard is quickly scrolling down, one can see more Team Fortress 2 avatars. The name of the achievement "Test Achievement Please Ignore" in Ultra Deluxe references a famous Reddit post called "test post please ignore". The icon for the "Test Achievement Please Ignore" in Ultra Deluxe is the infamous pink and black checkerboard design Source uses when games are missing certain textures, made popular by Garry's Mod. During the first Memory Zone trip in Ultra Deluxe, when discussing how The Stanley Parable is every game ever created, the Narrator compares it to Skyrim and Persona 3. One of the names listed on a poster in The Button that Says Your Name room is She-Ra. Although impossible to see without using cheats, the back of the escape pod from its titular ending has "BITTERMAN" graffitied on it, courtesy of one of the 2013 version's 3D artists. This also doubles as a cheeky nod to the nature of the Escape Pod ending, as Bitterman himself escapes in an escape pod at the end of Quake II, but his fate after surviving the pod's crash landing is ambiguous at best. In the Nintendo Switch version of the game, the newspaper that normally reads The New York Times instead reads The New Donk Times. The paper also includes a headline reading "You Will Not Believe How Many Bananas This Ape Has Been Hoarding For Years". According to this interview, the green carpet in the Launch Presentation trailer is a reference to Severance (2022), which in turn was inspired by The Stanley Parable. Among the myriad comments on the Figleys meeting room whiteboard is one that says "GOTTA COLLECT EM ALL", a reference to PokÃ©mon's tagline. In the Epilogue in Ultra Deluxe, there's a newspaper called The Mammal Times with the headline "Cat-Dog Born", showing a picture of an animal with a cat and dog head on each end.

Who wrote all of these slides? Who even cares about the game's development?" As of the Anniversary Update to the game, getting the Coward ending while holding the bucket has the Narrator remark that Stanley doesn't consider the Bucket ending variations a true sequel, and just decides to stay in his office until a true sequel is released.

However, some of the endings can provide explanations for this such as the Freedom Ending, which reveals that Stanley was under mind control, or the Apartment Ending, which has the entire plot about his co-workers disappearing be all just an escapist fantasy of Stanley's.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_cc2402de	type	Sliding Scale of Fourth Wall Hardness
The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_cc2402de	comment	Sliding Scale of Fourth Wall Hardness: At first, the Narrator will talk about Stanley in the third person from an omniscient viewpoint, until you start to derail the story. Then, he'll start talking to Stanley as he's reminding him of his lines, and after that, he starts talking to the player. If you get the Freedom ending straight, the fourth wall is almost completely solid, except for one bit where the player must use knowledge that the character could never have known (and the Narrator points this out). The Insane ending merely leans on it. Doing nearly anything else will cause the Narrator to talk to Stanley and/or acknowledge the story as an entity. In places such as the Games ending, the employee lounge (if you wait long enough), and the Countdown ending, he will go a step further and acknowledge that Stanley is in a video game or suggest that Stanley is playing a video game about himself. Then there are at least two places where the narrator acknowledges there's a person playing the game other than Stanley and talks directly to the audience (the broom closet, as well as the Real Person ending). The Museum ending takes it even further with a second narrator that talks about the first Narrator being a fictional character at the mercy of the game as well (with the Confusion ending in the HD Remix having him forced to confront this). The New Content and New New Content endings in Ultra Deluxe revolve around the Narrator recognizing and reacting to The Stanley Parable as a video game, including criticizing the game's dev team for the lack of new content and taking feedback from a negative Steam review. It's never to the point where he's aware of the player or himself as an in-game character, however.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_cdfe12c3	type	Nothing Is Scarier
The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_cdfe12c3	comment	Nothing Is Scarier: The fact that there's literally no one else in the building except for Stanley is quite unsettling, to say the least. In the Escape Pod ending, the Narrator is cut off mid-sentence, and you're left on your own. Walking about without the Narrator commentating makes the hallways seem even emptier than before. In the Ultra Deluxe Skip Button ending, Stanley presses the skip button so many times that the narrator eventually goes mad from sitting in total isolation while Stanley was frozen, repeating the game's signature phrase of "The End Is Never The End" over and over again. When Stanley presses the button again after this, the narrator disappears altogether, leaving Stanley completely alone in a dark, windowless, doorless room that steadily desiccates with the passage of time. After Stanley presses the button a few more times, the office's smoke alarm goes off seemingly at random, which smoke alarms do after they're about to run out of batteries, something that generally takes around 9 years to happen. Pressing the button several more times after this, players get a Hope Spot of tranquility as peaceful music and the sounds of birds can be heard over green, sunlit shrubbery, presumably long after the extinction of humanity has allowed nature to reclaim the world. Then things get scary. Pressing the button again, the world is now enveloped by complete darkness, with no life evident. Then it happens - you hear something through the lightless ruins of the concaved ceiling, in the unseeable blackness: eerie screeches like the screams of a terrible nightmare, and there is no indication of what it is. It is only when Stanley presses the button one final time that the world has daylight again, and he is able to leave the office building ruins into a sunlit desert. What exactly happened to the earth up to this point, and where those sounds came from, is entirely left up to interpretation.

All of the gameplay consists of exploration of the environment using the very limited tools you have available to you. It is set in a first-person view (mostly, anyway) but isn't a First-Person Shooter; there are very few objects you can even interact with in a meaningful manner beyond the "use" command.

This seems to be the case initially, but upon resetting the game, the Narrator becomes fixated on the lack of reward, and takes you back to the Memory Zone for another alternate ending where he reminisces on all the figurines you collected.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_e9e35e8f	comment	Another inversion: in the demo, when you get to the "8" button, the Narrator claims that there's no part of the full game where you press a button and a voice says "Eight". However, in the real game, you can actually do this on the keypad in the boss's office. (Though he did say that that particular button wouldn't have been part of the full game.) However, the 8 game does appear in Ultra Deluxe if you complete the Epilogue and increase the sequel count to 8, at which point you play the 8 game instead of the regular game. The only way to get back to the regular Stanley Parable is to close and reopen the game, thereby turning the game into The Stanley Parable 9.

However, he cannot wake up, so he goes insane and dies. Played for laughs with Ultra Deluxe's Vent ending, where the Narrator calls out Stanley and the audience for possibly falling for the cliche twist of him being nothing more than a tape recording, and that it was "all just in Stanley's head". In the Ultra Deluxe edition's Sequel ending, trying to enter a Bottomless Pit exhibit enough times leads to Stanley being trapped in a knee-deep hole and abandoned by the Narrator, after which the floor starts to descend and a variety of buttons can be pressed to change the camera angle, background, music, and Stanley's character model...which gets interrupted by the Narrator coming back and waking Stanley up from his "dream" before you're reset back to the exhibition entrance.

For the HD version, when you get to the mind-control room while following the Narrator's directions, there will be a point where you press a button and bring down an elevator. If you wait long enough, the gate going back the way you came will open, and you'll be able to return to the button that turned on the lights originally; pressing this starts the entire room with all the screens in a disco-light sequence (as shown here).

In fact, he becomes so fixated on the negative reviews that he can't think of anything else, causing him to create the skip button and directly leading to his undoing. See And I Must Scream above.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_f062ed89	comment	Deconstruction Game: Of linear games that tell you exactly what to do while giving the illusion of a living, explorable world. Also of games that inspire a last-second Heelâ€“Face Turn Rebellion, Solve the Soup Cans, Game-Breaking Bug, Screw Destiny, and the issue of who controls who in a game. It's also a rather nice deconstruction of Narrators and the whole idea of plot in a story. The demo of the HD remix is a deconstruction of demos where the Narrator spends the entire demo fretting about getting you to experience the purported actual demo. Almost nothing of the demo is in the game but, in spite of that, it manages to represent the core appeal of the game using the same style of humor and its own plot that is thematically similar to the game. The game also shows that morality plays more interested in personally insulting the player for being sadistic are often run by sadists themselves, except their sadism is only elevated as "better" because they happen to be creators and can thus put words in the players' mouths as they wish.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_fb6edc14	comment	Unable to Retreat: In the Apartment Ending, the Narrator railroads you into participating by sealing you into a room with nothing but a ringing phone, leaving you with no choice but to answer it. In the event that you don't just unplug the phone, you'll be transported to Stanley's apartment, and if you try to leave by the outside corridor, the Narrator just conjures up a wall to block the exit. In the Countdown Ending, trying to activate the mind control facility for yourself only results in the extremely petulant Narrator activating the facility's self-destruct system and sealing the exits, leaving you running from button to button in a futile attempt to save yourself before the timer runs out, as nothing in the room can stop the sequence or allow you to escape. In The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, the Skip Button Ending inflicts this on the Narrator for a change. Having decided to create a skip button in order to stave off negative reviews, he lets you test it, only to find that the more you use the button, the more time passes before you return to reality... and due to factors beyond the Narrator's control, the door you entered through has vanished, leaving you with nothing else to do but to press the skip button over and over again, leaving the Narrator trapped alone for progressively longer periods of time until his mind finally snaps.

Further runs after doing this will see the Narrator open the passage automatically in frustration.

The Stanley Parable (Video Game) / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: In Ultra Deluxe, one of the slider options the player is given is to slide a cat and dog together until they're friends. Depending on where the player sets the slider, a newspaper will appear in the Epilogue reporting a cat-dog birth or war. In Ultra Deluxe, the path to the Skip Button ending involves reading a Steam review from user "Cookie9" that requests the titular feature. Later, in the Epilogue, the first review you find for "The Stanley Parable 2" is from Cookie9's blog. Also in Ultra Deluxe, taking The Bucket to the Escape Pod ending results in Stanley sealing The Bucket in the escape pod, allowing it to take off before the game resets. Later, in the Epilogue, you can find the abandoned escape pod near the Memory Zone, with The Bucket still inside. Yet again in Ultra Deluxe, after the Epilogue, if you agreed to the Settings Person's proposition, every time you restart the game, you're prompted to give a Mad Libs title for the next sequel, which increments by one after each restart. For the most part, this doesn't really do anything in-game, but Stanley Parable 3 results in a mock-up title screen with your chosen title. That's not this trope, but when you reach Stanley Parable 8, instead of the actual game, you encounter the "8" button from the demo.
