3:47 a.m. The line goes dead. On the other end, someone stopped breathing – and your only way to the truth is the cursor blinking in front of you. Solve a real crime entirely inside a terminal. No subscription. No ads. Fully offline. The first case is free. YOU ARE THE INVESTIGATOR No cutscene does the work for you, no tapping on suspects. You type commands: • scan sweeps the network • connect opens a session on someone else's machine • cat reads the files and mail • decrypt uncovers what someone tried to hide • crack breaks the login between you and the truth What you type is how you think. REAL CASES, REAL SOLUTIONS Every case is a self-contained crime with a solution you have to find yourself. You read, you deduce, you name the culprit – and how you get there is up to you. WHAT TO EXPECT • A story written like crime fiction – not a tutorial with a plot glued on • No timer, no twitch: just you and the evidence • Fair by design: no dead ends, no game over – a wrong turn never costs you your evening • Hints that only nudge: a push at 2 a.m., never the whole answer • Choices with weight: your final decision has its own epilogue YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account needed. Runs fully offline. No ads, no tracking. Everything you do stays on your device. PAY FAIRLY INSTEAD OF SUBSCRIBING The Prologue is a complete case, free – play it start to finish, then decide. Every other case is a one-time purchase, no subscription. New cases arrive over time, each as its own one-time buy. DOWNLOAD EXIT NODE AND TYPE YOUR FIRST COMMAND. Some content shown in this app requires an additional one-time purchase. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Window at none against EXIT NODE's 1. The Window also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 17.0). EXIT NODE's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
