The Man From The Window

    The Man From The Window is built around a simple but brutal constraint: a five-minute countdown that determines everything. From the moment the timer starts, players are under constant psychological pressure, knowing there will be no second chance once preparation ends. The familiar setting of a quiet home becomes unsettling as the threat draws closer, turning ordinary rooms into potential lifelines—or fatal mistakes.

    How to Play

    Gameplay centers on preparation and foresight. Players explore the house, interact with objects, and make defensive decisions before the countdown expires. Every action must serve a purpose—whether that’s gathering information, repositioning furniture, or choosing hiding locations.

    Controls

    Players use the mouse to move between rooms, interact with objects, and make dialogue choices.

    Barricade Physics: Rerouting the Threat

    Defense in The Man From The Window isn’t about sealing doors completely—it’s about manipulating movement. Furniture behaves as physical obstacles that influence how the intruder navigates the house.

    Moving a sofa to alter a hallway route is often more effective than placing it directly in front of a door. Hard blocks can be bypassed quickly, while rerouted paths force longer searches and buy valuable seconds. The goal is to shape the intruder’s route, not stop it outright.

    Understanding how the house layout connects rooms allows players to design a “search path” that delays progress and increases survival odds.

    “Both Survive” Ending

    Achieving the best outcome requires efficiency and commitment. Players must interpret clues correctly, place furniture with purpose, and choose hiding locations that maximize distance and delay. Both characters need to be hidden separately, ideally in areas that take the longest to reach.
