The characters, who happen to be humanoid rabbits<\/strong> instead of ordinary humans, must find suitable hiding places<\/strong> and stay hidden to prevent one of them from becoming The Man’s latest “Friend”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is The Man from the Window?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we jump into The Man from the Window survival tips, let’s cover what The Man from the Window is <\/strong>for those who may not know. This game, similar to many other very small indie titles like the original Slenderman<\/a> game, is a horror story centered around exploration and avoiding a scary monster.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike something like Five Nights at Freddy’s<\/a> which has mechanics<\/strong> with flashlights and multiple “monsters”, this game really only has one: distracting The Man to find a place to hide<\/strong>. But the first half of the game takes place in Mama’s perspective<\/strong> and the latter half takes place from The Man’s perspective<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to finding a good hiding place, Mama must use the Book for clues on what to do<\/strong>. There are 3 possible endings for the game<\/strong>, but these survival tips should help both Mama and Junior survive The Man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pay attention to what the book says for The Man from the Window survival tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned earlier, the book’s rhymes offer the best tips<\/strong> on how to avoid The Man when hiding. It will list all of the places he will search<\/strong> for a “Friend” and in what order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, these hints can be interpreted in a variety of ways<\/strong>. The phrase “what holds water” could be the refrigerator<\/strong> or the tub<\/strong> or under the sink<\/strong>. Pro-tip:<\/strong> he checks everywhere you might think he would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"image<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Reread the book for every playthrough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We already know that the book indicates where The Man will check for Junior and Mama Rabbit<\/strong>. However, players can also learn in what order he checks<\/strong> places<\/strong> each time they play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will change every time you start a new game<\/strong>, so be sure to read the book each time you start a new game. That’s the only way you’ll be able to survive the entire 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the donuts and furniture to distract The Man<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mama Rabbit brings home donuts<\/strong> when she gets home from work and leaves them on the table. Later on in the game, these same donuts can be used to distract The Man <\/strong>from attacking the player. Leave the box open<\/strong> and he will take one minute to eat them<\/strong>. This gives you more time to survive the 5 minutes he will have to find you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, Mama Rabbit<\/strong> can make a furniture blockade<\/strong> to distract him, as well. Players can use the chair or the couch<\/strong> to barricade the door. But each of them distract The Man for different amounts of time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Man cannot find Mama Rabbit in the tub despite how visible she is<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Though not a realistic element<\/strong> to the story, Mama Rabbit can use the tub to evade The Man from the Window<\/strong>. For some reason, he will not be able to find her<\/strong> if she hides in it (provided The Man wastes his entire 5 minute search period). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the developers intended this as a safe space<\/strong>; perhaps they just overlooked it<\/strong>. Either way, use this to your advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pick up Mama’s keys off the table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fans of games in the Warhammer<\/a> and Warhammer 40K<\/a> universe will understand the importance of door lock mechanics<\/strong>. A locked door can be the difference between victory and certain destruction. The Man from the Window has a similar feature where locking a door can buy you more time<\/strong> to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Players can lock the bedroom, bathroom, and front doors<\/strong>. Though The Man will not always look in a particular spot first, he will spend 30 seconds destroying the door locks<\/strong>. Use this to your time advantage along with the time you get from all of our The Man from the Window survival tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More games like The Man from the Window<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Slenderman: The Eight Pages<\/a> and Five Nights at Freddy’s<\/a> are obvious choices if you want more games like this one<\/strong>. But the are others that might offer more unique challenges<\/strong> or more intriguing experiences<\/strong>, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erie<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This game, set in 1966<\/strong>, has the player searching for survivors<\/strong> at a power generator where a meltdown supposedly took place. Erie<\/a> is much bigger<\/strong> than The Man from the Window and has more scares<\/strong>, so be prepared for them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little Nightmares<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Little Nightmares<\/a> is a bit more involved<\/strong> and definitely longer<\/strong> than The Man from the Window<\/strong>. But with that comes a more engaging story<\/strong> and many more puzzles<\/strong> to work your way through. There is even a sequel in the form of Little Nightmares 2<\/a>, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roblox Horror Games<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Roblox<\/a> has many many different genres<\/strong> of games and many of them are free-to-play<\/strong>, too. This extends to horror games<\/a> like Murder Mystery<\/strong>, Flee the Facility<\/strong>, and The Horror Elevator<\/strong>. The latter two would be great options if you want a game like this title.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
