You play against the Neighbor, an AI-powered antagonist who tracks your every move and adapts to your behavior. The game starts off in what seems to be a normal suburban house, where you play as a kid who catches his next door Neighbor hiding something (or someone?) in his basement. Naturally, the most logical thing to do is break in, and see what’s in it. Of course, we don’t recommend actually doing this in your typical Seattle suburb.
The game plays like a stealth horror experience set in a sandbox. You outsmart the AI while solving puzzles and progressing closer to uncover what’s in the basement. Filled with mysteries and Easter eggs, Hello Neighbor has a story split up into three acts. Each act dives deeper into the rabbit hole.
Really enjoying climbing through that backyard window? Expect a bear trap there. Sneaking through the front door? There will be cameras there soon. Trying to escape? The Neighbor will find a shortcut and catch you.
Key Features:
- Suspenseful horror gameplay (not jump scares) that focuses on sneaking around your neighbor's house
- Constantly evolving experience where the Neighbor's AI counters your moves, and learns from what you do
- Sandbox-style gameplay with plenty of environmental interaction and physics
Currently available on PC (Steam) and Xbox One for $39.99, Hello Neighbor is coming to PS4 this summer with a Nintendo Switch version to follow later this year.
