Mobile port of an indie horror game
The Man from The Window
is a
free-to-play
adventure
from G S. that serves as a
mobile port
of the indie
horror game
of the same name from Zed_Technician. Like the original, you get to experience the relatable horror of having
a children’s story
actually come alive.

Its
low-poly graphics
and the use of
anthropomorphic animals
make The Man from The Window an innocent-looking game that gives a good scare. Other similar games for mobile include the
Backrooms Anomaly: Horror Game
or
Scary Gorgeous Granny Horror
game for a good mix of horror and puzzle-solving.
Help Mama Rabbit save her young
The premise of The Man from The Window revolves around the man from your child’s storybook. After a set amount of time, a monster bursts through your door in search of a new friend. Playing as a mama rabbit, you’ll need to find places to hide yourself and your little one before the titular monster arrives. Scan around your apartment and find safe spots for you and your kid.
It is an effective horror because it is virtually
impossible to
nail the game on the first try.
With a lot of unknowns, your first playthrough will serve as the tutorial that lets you know how much time you have and which of the locations work. The bigger Mama and the small child have different hiding spots that work for each of them, adding a layer of a
puzzle-like
approach.
A single run, whether successful or not, takes only about
10 minutes to complete
. This short playthrough and the simple premise are offset by the availability of
three ending scenarios
depending on your choices and who survives. Also, the
low-poly graphics
in this port are made more blocky and jaggy, making it difficult to distinguish certain elements in the game.
Good mix of time pressure and horror
Like the original version, The Man from The Window remains
a thrilling puzzle-horror experience
. Its children’s storybook premise and the animal designs of the characters all seem to cater to young audiences, although the direction of its story definitely says otherwise. Feel free to explore all endings, although this version has an extra challenge brought about by the graphics quality.
