Hello Neighbor Pre-Alpha

You play as an intruder trying to enter a neighbor’s house and uncover what he is hiding in the basement, while avoiding being caught.

Explore the house, search for useful items, solve basic puzzles, and experiment with the environment. You can use distractions and different entry routes to get around the Neighbor.

The Neighbor can respond to your repeated tactics by changing how he guards the house, including placing traps or cameras near familiar routes. Progress involves finding what you need to reach the basement while adapting your approach.

Players often praise the tense, eerie atmosphere and the Neighbor’s threatening, reactive behavior, which make exploring and sneaking through the house feel suspenseful. Reviews also value the mystery and the chance to see an early version of the game’s ideas. Some players find the Neighbor overly relentless, and describe the build as short, limited, and rough.
