"Snooping as usual, I see?"
- Follower Description in the Tower Heroes Event
Window, also referred to as Sally[2] in the game files, is a minor entity in DOORS, residing in The Hotel and the Lobby.
Appearance
Window takes an appearance of photonic matter manifesting as a smiling face with two eyes and two rows of 6 teeth. The shape of its face is hexagon-like, and its left eye is bigger than its right eye. But in The Haunt event, is replaced with pumpkin face.
Behavior
In the Hotel, Window had a low, random chance to appear staring from outside of any small to medium-sized window. It would disappear after the next lightning strike. Because Window could not harm the player or produce sounds, it had no overall effect on actual gameplay.
In the Lobby, Window can be found staring through a window when going outside; it will not disappear from this area.
Trivia
- Window is a 3D model, not a decal.
- This is almost unnoticeable in-game without the use of free-camera exploits.
- RediblesQW and Ghostly_Wowzers, who are DOORS developers, have stated that Window's filename is "Sally". [3][2]
- Window's filename is never referenced in-game.
- Ghostly_Wowzers previously stated that it is simply the name it is referred to as.[4]
- Before Window's "official" name was known, the DOORS community nicknamed it as "Window", due to its spawn location.
- Window is one of four entities to not have an official name, the other three being: Shadow, Guiding Light and Curious Light.
- Ghostly_Wowzers confirmed that Window will never be related to any in-game achievements, because it is only an easter egg.[5] Wowzers has also stated and that Window will likely remain an easter egg "for now",[6] but that it may have an in-game mechanic in the future.[7][8]
- RediblesQW has implied the existence of a UGC Window-themed backpack. [9]
- While it was thought that Window was a reference to the Backrooms' Smiler Entity, RediblesQW confirmed that this was only a coincidence.[citation needed]
- Window, just like most rare entities, can 'kill' players indirectly by distracting players to their window and giving them less time to react to a possible threat. This is most likely an unintentional mechanic.
- This has happened to Linxy, a popular DOORS YouTuber, since he got distracted by Window and got killed immediately by Rush.
- Window, as of The Backdoor update, in the Lobby, was moved inside The Hotel (hence a player is outside and sees it), and no longer resides outside (hence a player is inside and sees it outside).
- Window is one of four entities that can be found inside the Lobby, the other three being Seek (in the form of its eyes), Timothy, and Curious Light (seen outside, lighting up The Backdoor entrance).
- For an unknown reason, no more footage has been recorded of players encountering Window since the Hotel+ Update. This has led to the community believing it either has been removed, or has a much rarer chance of spawning.
- Window is one of the oldest entities in the game, being created January 31th, 2021.[10] It is also older than Figure. [11]
- ”Snooping as usual, I see?” is a reference to the PINGAS meme from the The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog episode “Bogey-Mania”
- Before the Hotel+ Update, Window was mostly seen after the Seek chase, usually because they swiftly enter a room that possibly has windows, meaning that players could notice Window before it could disappear.
- A user on X asked if Window was removed from the game, and Lightning Splash simply replied with "Fair be prepared", hinting a future use for it. [12]
- Window is the only entity from The Hotel to not appear in The Mines, likely due to the fact that there are no windows for Window to appear in.
- Window is seen to be wearing a jack-o-lantern mask in the Lobby during 2024 Trick Or Treat Event.
