The pre-alpha build, which is available to download as of yesterday, doesn't provide a great deal of context as to why you decide to go snooping around in the house of the chap who lives across the street, but that is precisely what you must do.
Or an intrusive offspring of the surveillance state. Hello Neighbor is a first-person stealth horror game in which you play as a concerned citizen. Or the time when I hid in a wardrobe and tried to lean so that I could peek through a crack in the door only to find myself leaking slowly through that crack and directly into the neighbour's line of sight. I'm thinking of the time the chase music began while I was in my own home and the neighbour's face pressed against the window suddenly as he tried to run through it to murderise me. Not because of any great qualities in the design, but rather because some of my favourite things about it might get 'fixed'.
The game grows tougher and tougher every minute and you are still far from your ultimate goal – the basement.You can play Hello Neighbor right now, for free, and I strongly suggest that you do. You can also hide in different places, but if the neighbor finds you there, he will remember it and check your cozy shelter first next time. This is a great way to distract the killer and take off while he is busy with a sudden activity. Fortunately, you can defend yourself with the help of multiple items scattered around the rooms by picking them up, throwing them, turning them on and off. So don’t be surprised to find a steel trap or a wailing alarm when you decide to use your favorite window or door to sneak into the manor again. The developers have equipped him with a complex AI system that analyzes your moves and anticipate what you are about to do next. The weird man is always at home and you’ll have to think hard before making each step. You have to get there at any cost! You see the best secrets!īut don’t expect it to be that easy. Why? Perhaps there is a prisoner locked down there? Or a pile of rotting corpses? Maybe he conducts genetic experiments and raises a Frankenstein monster? The answers to these questions lie in your neighbor’s house.
But the thing that troubles you most is that he has nailed up his basement door. He just moved into a new house, but instead of friendly smiling faces greeting him from across the street all he sees is the back of his sullen and highly mysterious neighbor who always shades his windows and seems to be involved in something dangerous. The protagonist of our game had to learn it the hard way. We are surrounded by psychos, maniacs and killers, although we rarely give it a thought.
