At times, characters in The Stanley Parable will say something that implies that they know they are fictional characters in a video game. This is referred to as breaking the fourth wall. The term originated from plays, in which actors would do something that involved the audience. Due to a stage looking similar to a box with two walls on the left and right, and two more in the front and back; the front wall, or the direction where the audience is sitting, is called the fourth wall.
