In a grime-dark future, windows need cleaning... and murders need solving.
About this game
Window Seat is a first-person detective game about logical deduction and window cleaning.
Set in a grime-dark future choked by the Acrid Fog, Window Seat takes place in a city where pollution clings to the walls, smothers the streets, and leaves every window stained.
Clean glass is a privilege of the elite. As one of the city’s noble Scrubbers, it is your duty to keep their view spotless — and your nose out of their business. Don't get involved.
They say clean windows make clean minds.
But a clear view, doesn't mean a clear conscience.
Keep your eyes where they belong, and avoid the gaze of Sloane Industries.
About the Demo
The demo is a sample scenario of Window Seat. It takes place across two floors and around seven minutes of in-game time, giving a focused look at the game's core mechanics.
The full game will feature many more floors, a wide range of characters, and a complex restructured mystery.
