The Man From The Window – A Short, Chilling Horror Experience

The Man From The Window is a free indie horror game released in 2022 and developed by Zed_Technician. It delivers psychological tension through a compact, story-driven experience that focuses on time pressure, observation, and smart decision-making. This game is designed for players who enjoy short but intense horror encounters.

A Story that turns fear into reality

The game follows Momma Rabbit, who returns home from work with donuts for her young son, Junior. What begins as a quiet evening quickly unravels when Junior shows her a disturbing children’s book titled The Man from the Window. The book describes a mysterious figure that appears at night, searching homes through windows—and soon, the story steps out of the pages. A knock at the window signals the start of a terrifying countdown.

Gameplay focused on strategy and time

Each playthrough lasts five real-time minutes, creating constant pressure. Players must explore a small apartment, interact with objects, and decide how to protect Junior before time runs out.

Key gameplay elements include:

• Real-time countdown that increases tension and urgency
• Multiple hiding spots and environmental interactions
• Strategic use of objects to block, distract, or mislead the intruder
• A storybook mechanic that provides clues about the Man’s next move
• The rhyming hints inside the book act as both guidance and danger, forcing players to interpret clues quickly and react before it’s too late.

Simple controls

• WASD - move
• Mouse - interact

Different choices lead to different outcomes, encouraging replayability and discovery of all possible endings.
