You play as Woody, the star of a fictional TV show who sets out to torment his grumpy neighbor. The pranks begin in the neighbor’s home and continue through a cruise and holiday locations around the world, with the neighbor’s companions also appearing in the show.
Each episode is a point-and-click puzzle: explore rooms, find useful objects, and work out where and when to use them to set off comic traps. Plan a sequence of pranks while avoiding the neighbor and other characters, who can catch Woody if he is spotted.
The collection brings together two seasons across 25 episodes. Pulling off pranks builds chaos for the show and can raise its ratings; later episodes add more locations and elaborate setups. The remaster also presents the games with newly rendered Full HD graphics and smoother animations.
Many reviewers enjoy returning to a childhood favorite, especially its comic pranks and the satisfaction of planning a sequence that catches the neighbor off guard. Others praise the puzzle-like room exploration and the convenience of having both seasons together with updated visuals. Some reviewers find the remaster easier than the originals, dislike added item-search mechanics, or report interface and gameplay problems.
Did you know that “Schadenfreude” is a German word defined as the concept of finding joy in someone else’s misfortune? It is also the main idea on which Neighbours Back From Hell is built. A whole TV show based on playing increasingly outrageous pranks on your grumpy neighbor to keep the audience entertained, and viewership numbers high. It’s good to be bad in this early 2000s trash TV-inspired slapstick extravaganza!
As Woody, the vengeful star protagonist of Neighbours Back From Hell, you will prank your way through Seasons 1 and 2 of the fictitious, but aptly named TV show. Take the mischief from your nasty neighbor’s flat all the way to China, India, and Mexico, where you will make sure his holiday is a living hell. While you’re at it, why limit targeting your antics at your neighbor when you can involve his mother and fellow travelers? Whatever you decide to do, your trusty camera crew will be right there, keeping a keen eye on all the action. You can let your crooked creativity flow freely and watch the neighbor rage in desperation. Just be mindful not to get caught by him or his companions, or they will give you a good whooping, and your TV show will be taken off the air. If you perform well, on the other hand, by creating more and more disarray and chaos in the neighbor’s life, ratings will increase, and you could win prestigious awards.
