Stanley (TSP)

Short brown hair, brown eyes.

Wears a button-down shirt, black formal trousers, black shoes. He's quite normal-looking, not ugly but not perfect.

Calm, depended, sometimes playful. He often disobeys Narrator's orders just to spite him. He likes annoying Narrator, likes hearing him spend time while being angry at him.

The titular protagonist. He is a normal, boring guy who pushes buttons all day and not much else. But one day, his coworkers all vanish, prompting him to try to discover what happened to them. Stanley is one of several hundred employees at Office Co. that the Boss controls with the Mind Control Facility. In the Broom Closet Ending, the Narrator speculates that Stanley got this job either via a family connection or with "drug money". As Employee 427, his task is to sit in Room 427, pushing buttons on a keyboard. Orders come to him via a monitor on his desk, telling him what buttons to push, how long to push them, and in what order. This task is performed daily throughout the entire year. The Narrator notes that "although others may have considered it soul-rending, Stanley relished every moment that these orders came in." Stanley held this job for "years" prior to the events of the game. During the events of The Stanley Parable, Stanley's routine is interrupted when orders cease to arrive at his desk. At this point, he realizes that all of his co-workers have disappeared. During the Countdown Ending, the Narrator states that he intentionally erased the co-workers from existence in order to set Stanley free.
