Watching Man

Sign in to edit

This article appears in The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe


The Watching Man, also known as aman in the files or Airport Man, is a strange man who can sometimes be seen watching Stanley in Endings such as the No Buckets Ending and the Bucket version of the Press Conference Ending. He can also be seen very briefly in the Maintenance Room in this trailer at the 0:12 mark. Not much is known about him.

Profession[]

It is unknown if the Watching Man works at the company or not, since the the Narrator erased all of Stanley's coworkers. It is possible he could be the Boss, but this is unlikely because the Boss is seen to wear a suit with a red tie, and the Watching Man wears a grey suit jacket.

In-Game Appearances[]

The Watching Man does not appear in the game randomly. He only appears in the Bucket Variants of endings under certain circumstances:

  • No Buckets Ending: To see the man in the No Buckets Ending, the player must answer all of the questions correctly, doing so correctly will cause the Watching Man to appear standing between the audience bleachers above the entrance to the room, behind the player.
    Correct answers:
    1. No
    2. No
    3. Yes
    4. No
    5. Yes
    6. Yes or No
    7. No
    8. No
      If the player presses either button after answering the eight questions correctly, the Watching Man will disappear.
  • Press Conference Ending: During the fifth elevator ride that leads to the press conference, the elevator will pass several other rooms in the building. One of them is illuminated by red lighting, and there is a garage with the Watching Man standing to the right a cargo truck.
    • Stanley also passes this room while in the regular Press Conference Ending, but the Watching Man doesn't appear here.

Trivia[]

  • The character model for the Watching Man is called AMan0002 in the game files, and it was found to be short for Airport Man.[1]
  • The Airport Man bobs his head back and forth gently for an unknown reason.
  • The Watching Man was found in a trailer for The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe by a comment on this video, where most of the information on this page came from.
  • The Watching Man's model and textures were found and posted to reddit, which can be found here.
  • Excluding the accolades trailer, the Watching Man can only be seen in endings that requires Stanley to be carrying the Bucket.
  • Some people have confused the Watching Man with the secret walking Stanley lookalike that can sometimes be seen in one of the Office windows, but there is no connection between them.
