Main Menu

The Main Menu is the selection screen that greets the player when they first open any of the games in The Stanley Parable Franchise.

The Stanley Parable Demonstration

The Stanley Parable Demonstration title screen.

The title screen presents a large room with wooden floors and green, patterned wallpaper. A single, brown armchair with a red pillow resting on it is placed to the right of the screen in the foreground. Loose, scattered papers on the floor surrounds the armchair. A tall window is present on the wall behind the armchair, only pure white light is shining in and nothing else can be seen on the outside.

The rest of the space in the background is taken up by a wall of screens, twelve are visible but there are sixteen in total in the game. A majority of the screens are off apart from three of them; one displaying white noise and the other two, diagonal to each other, shows a typical no signal screen.

Near the top left of the screen, in the League Gothic font and white text, the words: "The Stanley Parable Demonstration" are displayed. Three buttons are present near the bottom left of the screen in the same font and text color, in order from top to bottom: "Begin the demo", "Options", and "Quit". A pair of red mugs are visible to the left of the "Options" button. Hovering over the buttons will result in various keyboard sounds being played. There is no other audio played here.

The Stanley Parable

The Stanley Parable HD Remake title screen.

The title screen displays Stanley's desk and its immediate surroundings. A majority of the layout is identical to how it looks in-game, such as the file cabinet, phone, computer, folder, and wall. Altered details include: The painting being hung up above the computer as opposed to the right wall, a pen and two pencils sitting near the phone, and a yellow-white striped box atop the cabinet.

The computer is turned on and the screen displays whatever is currently on the Player's screen, which is most usually this screen. If the Steam overlay is brought up (default command: Shift+Tab), the Steam overlay will also appear on Stanley's computer screen.

Near the top left of the screen, in the League Gothic font and white text, the words: "You are playing The Stanley Parable" are displayed. Four or five buttons are present near the bottom left of the screen, depending on if you have Saves enabled or not, in the same font and text color, in order from top to bottom: "Begin the game", "Load game" (optional), "Options", "Credits", and "Quit". Hovering over the buttons will result in various keyboard sounds being played. Office mumble is played in the background, such as aimless chitchat, conversations regarding work, phone ringing, printers printing, keyboard typing, coughing, shuffling, squeaky doors, and other miscellaneous noises.

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe

The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe title screen.

The Ultra Deluxe title screen is very similar to the HD Remake screen with just a few differences: The composition being slightly zoomed out, the lighting being a bit brighter, and most notably, the box on top of the file cabinet is replaced with a pencil sharpener, very likely alluding Employee 432.

Near the top left of the screen, in the League Gothic font and white text, the words: "You are playing The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe" are displayed. Four buttons are present near the bottom left of the screen, in the same font and text color, in order from top to bottom: "Begin the game", "Settings", "Credits", and "Quit to desktop". Hovering over the buttons will result in various keyboard sounds being played and the familiar office mumble is played in the background.

The Stanley Parable 2

1/8

Epilogue Unlocked

1/2

The title screen starts off in a pitch black area before a door is opened and the player is brought into a repeating office hallway, with a red multiply layer on top, that sway and bend at random to keep the appearance unique each time. The hallway has small, scattered paper piles on the floor, a multitude of chairs, cabinets, and printers placed about. The clocks on the walls can be seen ticking here.

In the center-left of the screen, in the League Gothic font and white text, the words: "The Stanley Parable 2" are displayed, with the exception of the "2" being distinctly larger and in the color red (#FF0000). Four buttons are initially present underneath the game name, in white and HK Nova font, as opposed to the usual League Gothic, in order from top to bottom: "BEGIN THE GAME", "SETTINGS", "CREDITS", and "QUIT TO DESKTOP".

Hovering over the buttons will result in a distinctly different keyboard sound which seems more robust. The track "The Stanley Parable 2" is playing in the background.

Upon completing the Figurines Ending and having opened and closed the game at least five times, the EPILOGUE will be unlocked in the main menu as a fifth button and is placed in-between the "SETTINGS" and "CREDITS". The "EPILOGUE" button pulses beween a white and yellow glow and is accompanied by an Adventure Line™-like design to its left to draw more attention to it.

The Stanley Parable 3

The Stanley Parable 3 title screen.

Ditto, with the car present.

Red car texture, easier to see bucket within.

The Stanley Parable 3 title screen shows the desert where the end of the Skip Button Ending and the Epilogue takes place. A "dusty" effect is placed near the bottom of the screen, as it is reasonably sandy and dry in a desert. Every few seconds, a red car with the The Stanley Parable Reassurance Bucket sitting within drives by from the right side to the left, honking each time it does.

Near the top left of the screen, in the League Gothic font and white text, the words: "You are playing The Stanley Parable 3" are displayed along with whatever subtitle the Player chose whilst speaking to the Settings Person, with the exception of the "3" being distinctly larger and (the subtitle included) being in the color yellow (#FFEE4D).

Five buttons are present near the bottom left of the screen, in the League Gothic and white, in order from top to bottom: "Begin the game", "Settings", "Epilogue", "Credits", and "Quit to desktop". Hovering over the buttons will result in various keyboard sounds being played. The beginning section of the song "Epilogue" is playing in the background.

Subsequent Sequels

As opposed to all other sequels after The Stanley Parable 2 (excluding The Stanley Parable 3), these are sequels that also have fixed appearances excluding the subtitle and thus will always look the same, no matter the playthrough.

The Stanley Parable 4 title screen.

The Stanley Parable 10 title screen. This title screen is a 3D image, with the Robot Stanley spinning slowly in the middle.

The Stanley Parable 12 title screen. Reminiscent of a Dating Sim. The two characters on this screen are Stanley and The Adventure Line™.

The Stanley Parable 14 title screen.

Ditto, with the Default Blender Cube. This sequel flicks between the two images.

Ditto, with a rat in the foreground.
