About the Game

The viral horror classic from itch.io now on Steam!

The Man in the Park is a multiple ending 5-minute horror game where you try to make it out of your neighborhood park . . . alive.

Please note: this is a free, very short intro to the series. Game #2 is coming soon, and #3 is in development, both of which expand the story significantly.

FEATURES

  • Three possible endings

  • Classic big-screen jump scares

  • Micro horror game that can be 100% completed in a single sitting (get all endings in 5 minutes)
