It was pretty damn good! It was perfectly short and creepy yet not outright scary and there were no jumpscares. It was honestly perfect for me... Except that I was REALLY dumb and it took me more than 30 minutes to finish it. Here is my video on making progress with that. Nonetheless my fault. Good game.
Okay. So obviously this is a short indie game so it gets a slack for that, but it definitely needs work. First of all there was a sink over carpet which is quite frankly inhumane but as for legitimate criticism the gameplay was a bit repetitive but that could be my goblin brain taking way too long to discover how to get the good ending, but the hide n seek playstyle with finding ways to delay the man and seeing the perspective of the man as he hunts you was pretty cool. Seeing the man slowly approach from the door was the second scariest part of the game with the first being the models, the models definitely seemed almost out of place and could use work for sure honestly the mama rabbit seemed like something out of a fetishy porn game which was slightly uncomfortable but that's just my opinion. Gameplay was good enough could've used better sound design and the graphics could use improvement for example for some reason the letters on the book were going off the pages but that could've been an issue on my part, however I did really enjoy the concept of looking for means of slowing down the mans approach very interesting idea. Overall alright game.
Thanks man, now I'm never going to read another book again. But seriously, this was well made and genuinely unnerving. It was a well designed game with an intriguing story. Well done.
First things first, make sure that you're on Windows. This game is only for Windows so make sure that's what you're using. When you're ready to download...
Step 1: Download the file.
Step 2: Go to file explorer(It's the file icon on the bottom.)
Step 3: Right click on the file "the man from the window win.zip"
Step 4: Click on Extract files
Step 5: Click the un extracted game folder
Step 6: Keep clicking the file until the file goes to the man behind the window game.
Step 7: Click on the game
Step 8: If it says "this isn't a Microsoft app" click run anyway. Or, if Microsoft antivirus says "Windows protected your PC", click more info, and then it'll give you the option to run anyway. Click that and the game should open up now. Hope this helped!
Hey everyone! This game was pretty fun to play! I had to think like crazy to beat the game but I loved the gameplay! The characters were well designed and I had a blast playing! If you guys want to see the game, feel free to come by my channel!
I would also appreciate if you could give an opinion on our latest game. Game devs advice is precious because we know better what it takes to make something work. It's called "Backdoor Shifts"
Hi every one I am a YouTuber but how do you download the games also my channel is called FTB TV if you want to see my channel please tell me how to download the games and we might be able to play together and you could be on YouTube
Download the ZIP from above. Extract the ZIP to your desired location, then open the newly unzipped file. Now click on the TheManFromTheWindow application, which is usually the third file in the folder.
I managed to make it to 5 minutes and i loved the ending. Hoping there will be maybe a update with a bigger house with more hiding spots and endings and maybe more people.

Really good game! It was kinda spooky and I once I loaded the game I got a nostalgic feel of 2000-2010s horror game style which was a nice vibe!
Thanks! :)

Hi every one I am a YouTuber but how do you download the games also my channel is called FTB TV if you want to see my channel please tell me how to download the games and we might be able to play together and you could be on YouTube
im tired of people not knowing what winrar is so go download that and then you can open the rar file
wow spooky! I haven't to the good ending yet!
Thanks for playing. :)
How do you get on the game
Because I don't know how to
I'm not sure if you still need the help, but:
Download the ZIP from above. Extract the ZIP to your desired location, then open the newly unzipped file. Now click on the TheManFromTheWindow application, which is usually the third file in the folder.
If you still need some help, just let me know.
I was wondering if you can download the game on Xbox because I'm on Xbox
Glad you've enjoyed the game.
Thanks for playing! :)
Great game! Nice job
Thank you for the kind words, they are very appreciated. :)
Definitely a good game, love that it makes me think and pay attention to detail with the book and everything. Keep it up!
That's awesome to hear, I'm glad you've enjoyed those aspects of the game.
Thank you! :)
How do you open it if it is a win zip file?
Actually, now that I think about it, the game comes in a regular ZIP file.
I'm not sure how you've ended up with a WinZip file.
thank you sir
Love the game

I think this statement might be a bit too generous, but I thank you anyway!
Either way, I'm still glad to hear it. :)
Don't make the main character thicc, it kinda ruins the horror cause all I'll be thinking is how loud her cheeks will cla-

Sussy baka.but I am not gonna lie she has big buns
Make it more scary
Very good game
Thank you, very much. :)
