The Man from the Window
The Man from the Window is another indie horror video game that we absolutely recommend for players who have no fear! Survive the monster's attack!
😱 Stay safe from The Man from the Window!
The Mother Rabbit came home from a long day of work at the bakery, very tired, but with a box of donuts she wanted to share with her son. When he comes into the room, he's very scared. Why? He read the book: 'The Man from the Window'. The mother reads it too. The child thinks the monster is coming for them!
The mother tries to calm him down. There's no such thing... it is then that someone starts tapping on the window. It seems that the horror is real! It's up to you to play the role of Mamma Rabbit and protect yourself and your son from The Man for a total of five minutes. If you don't, you're both taken away!
🙈 Hide away from The Man!
You've got five minutes to think up of a strategy with which to distract the monster. Once he arrives, he will search for you and your sun. Make preparations and set up distractions to keep him away from you. If you are caught, you are dead!
🏠 Explore the house!
Open the donut box, try to see if you can push the couch, or maybe go into the bathroom and see if you can hide inside the washtub. Exploring the house to find the best hiding rooms for you and Junior is a must! Which one will you choose? Read the thoughts of Momma Rabbit for clues!
🪤 Choose the best distractions!
Once the monster enters the house, if he can't catch you in five minutes, you win. For that, you should distract him. But how? Well, you might think: let's push the sofa next to the door to make it harder to open.
Seems like a good idea, right? It's not a bad one, but it takes you two minutes to set up. That is a lot of time, in which you could set up smaller distractions. It's better to have more of them, than just one. Pick and choose!
The Man takes up one minute checking up on each distraction, so try to set up five of them in a quick time!
📖 Can you solve the riddles?
The book you read in the intro of the game will provide you with the most help possible. It has riddles inside it, which show you where The Man is going to search for you. Use the riddles as a hint on where to set up the attention traps that will keep him away from your real hiding place!
