The Man From The Window

Can you save Mama and Junior Rabbit in 'The Man From The Window'? Hide them safely before the 5-minute timer runs out to survive and get the perfect ending!

What is The Man From The Window?

The Man From The Window is an independent survival horror game that uses a low-poly graphic style reminiscent of classic PS1 systems, combined with a first-person perspective to enhance the feeling of claustrophobia and fear.

You will find yourself in a fixed situation: You have exactly 5 minutes to prepare and find safe hiding places for the characters inside the house before a tall, grotesque monster breaks in through the window.

The Man From The Window Plot

The game's plot contains a dark message about curses and urban legends:

• The Beginning: The story revolves around a mother and son, anthropomorphic rabbits Mama Rabbit and Junior Rabbit. One late night, Junior comes home from school late with a strange comic book he found.
• The Fateful Book: As Mama Rabbit reads the book to her son, she realizes it's no ordinary fairy tale. The book describes a creature called 'The Man.' He comes knocking on doors late at night, sneaking through windows and kidnapping children who can't find shelter to be his 'friends' forever.
• The Curse Comes True: As soon as the book closes, strange noises and knocking sounds echo in real life. Mama Rabbit is horrified to realize the story is completely true. The villain, 'The Man' is standing right outside the door, and the mother and daughter only have five minutes to survive according to the rules written in the book.

How to Complete The Man From The Window Level

To achieve the Perfect Ending (Both mother and child survive), you need to accurately follow the puzzle steps and utilize the body size of each character within 5 minutes:

Step 1: Research the size of your hiding places

Each location in the house can only accommodate a specific body size (Small, Medium, Large). You need to divide them as follows:

• Junior Rabbit: Suitable for narrow spaces.
• Mama Rabbit: Requires more spacious areas.

Step 2: Specific Actions

• Check Junior's Bedroom: Go into your child's bedroom and check under the bed. This is the perfect hiding place for Junior Rabbit. Instruct him to hide under the bed and remember to close the bedroom door.
• Get a Plate of Donuts: Go to the kitchen and get a plate of donuts and place it on the dining table in the living room. 'The Man' loves sweets, and this plate of donuts will keep him occupied for a short time, buying you more time.
• Use a Chair to Block the Door: You can move a wooden chair from the dining room to block the front door or living room window to slow him down.
• Find a Hiding Place for Mother Rabbit: Because Mother Rabbit is large, the safest hiding place is inside a large wardrobe or behind a curtain.

Step 3: Survive when 'The Man' enters the house

When 5 minutes are up, the clock will stop and the monster will enter. You are not allowed to move or make any noise.

• He will eat the donuts on the table.
• He will inspect the rooms. If you have hidden Junior under the bed and closed the door, he will only look into the room and leave.
• If you follow the steps correctly, the sound of police sirens or the sunrise will come, 'The Man' will be forced to retreat through the window, and you will successfully complete the level!

Serious warning: Absolutely do not hide together (for example, mother and child hiding in a closet). The monster will discover you immediately, and you will face a Bad Ending. You will need to carefully preserve the lives of both characters if you want to fully understand the timeline and the horrific events that follow in The Man From The Window 2.
