Quick notes
- Key characters and figures. The 2013 game’s cast is small, and some figures exist only within a particular ending or narrated scenario.
- Where the figures appear. A character’s presence can be part of a constructed story rather than evidence of one consistent office reality.
- The narrator reacts to disobedience. Choosing a different door does not remove narration; it gives him new material.
- No additional playable roster is unlocked. Ending discoveries reveal scenes and voices, not a character-select screen.
