Developed by Dynamic Pixels · Published by tinyBuild









Hello Neighbor Alpha 2 is a first-person stealth horror game and an early version of the material that became Act 1. You play as an intruder trying to enter the neighbor’s house and discover what he is hiding in the basement.
Explore the house, avoid the neighbor, and solve environmental puzzles to make progress. You can move and use objects, search for clues, and try different ways into the building and through its obstacles.
The house offers alternate paths and puzzle solutions, including routes through windows and up to the roof. The neighbor is designed to react to your tactics, using measures such as traps or cameras to counter repeated approaches.
Players often enjoy exploring the house, working out its puzzles, and trying different ways to reach the basement. Some also praise the neighbor’s reactive behavior and the game’s colorful, uneasy atmosphere, while others find the AI inconsistent or the horror less effective. Nostalgia for this early build is another recurring source of appreciation.
