About a man outside

a man outside is a short text-based horror game told through words, sound and illustrated scenes. You read, you click your choices, and the story moves toward one of several endings. It's written in the spirit of creepypasta, the kind of quiet internet horror story that sticks with you after you close the tab.

Sound matters here more than in most games. Before anything starts, the game asks you to turn your audio on, and it means it. Much of the tension comes from what you hear while you read.

It's played entirely with the mouse, and a playthrough takes a few minutes, so it's easy to play a man outside online more than once to see the other endings. A 2021 update cleaned up the layout and made the final ending longer.

How to Play a man outside

  • Turn your sound on before you start; the opening screen asks for it.
  • Click the link on the first screen to begin.
  • Read each passage, then click a choice to move the story on.
  • Take your time between choices and listen to what's playing.
  • When you reach an ending, start again and choose differently to find another.
