A Locked House, a Girl at the Window, a 20-Year-Old Case
The Girl in the Window is a point-and-click escape room game by Peruvian indie studio Dark Dome Studios. Villagers in Hidden Town swear they have seen a girl looking out of the window of a house abandoned for 20 years. You play as Dan, a curious young man who walks in to investigate — and the door locks behind him.
Randomized Answers
Symbol orders and codes change between playthroughs, so our guides teach the derivation logic instead of a fixed answer to memorize.
Item Combinations
Most progress comes from pairing inventory items — matches plus candle, glass shard plus handle — and we map every combination.
Built-In Hint System
The game nudges you toward the next objective, and our guides tell you when to use it and how to keep the challenge intact.
Hidden Town Universe
This is episode one of nine. Its case is reopened in The Ghost Case, and every entry shares one connected town.
Trapped inside, you search eerie hand-drawn rooms for hidden objects, combine inventory items, and crack codes to get out. Objects move on their own, a figure in white appears and vanishes, and a shadow crosses the window when you least expect it. This first episode of the Hidden Town series introduces Dan and Mia, and its case links directly to The Ghost Case. A full hint system keeps you moving whenever a puzzle stalls your escape.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is The Girl in the Window hard?+
Most players rate it as a gentle-to-medium puzzle challenge. The rooms are dense with interactive objects, but a built-in hint system and save-anytime design mean you are never truly stuck. If you want zero spoilers, try each puzzle yourself first and only open our puzzle-solutions pages when a specific block stalls your escape.
How long does The Girl in the Window take to beat?+
A typical first clear runs about one to two hours, since the game is a short, tightly designed single-house escape. Completionists who chase every photograph, diary page and Steam achievement should budget three to four hours. Our walkthrough is ordered so you can finish in one sitting without backtracking.
How many endings does The Girl in the Window have?+
Officially, the game promises one unexpected plot-twist ending. Some community reviews mention alternate outcome variations, but Dark Dome has not confirmed multiple endings, so treat those reports as unverified. Our endings section breaks down the confirmed finale in full detail with a spoiler warning up front.
Does using hints ruin the game?+
Not at all. The hint system is designed to nudge you toward the next objective without spelling out the solution, so it is a pacing tool rather than an answer key. Many players finish their first escape using one or two hints. The wiki recommends exploring each room thoroughly before tapping the hint button.
Are puzzle answers the same every playthrough?+
No — several puzzles, including the flower-pot symbol order and the drawer code, are randomized per run. That is why our guides explain the derivation logic, such as counting leaves or matching notebook symbols, rather than listing a single fixed answer. Learn the method once and every run becomes solvable.
What platforms is The Girl in the Window on?+
The game launched on mobile in 2019 and came to Steam for Windows on August 31, 2026. The PC edition is a small download that runs on integrated graphics with mouse-only controls, and the Steam Dark Dome Collection bundles all nine Hidden Town games. Our platform section compares both editions in detail.
Do I need to play other Dark Dome games first?+
No. Dark Dome designs every Hidden Town episode to be playable in any order, and this is the first story in the timeline. If you plan to continue the series, note that The Ghost Case — the fourth game — directly reopens the murder case from this house, which makes this episode the ideal starting point.
