Hello Neighbor

The Hello Neighbor is a fascinating game with puzzle elements, stealth, and horror. In it, you will be able to play for the person who has recently settled in a new town. From the very first day, the mysterious neighbor is interesting because of his strange house.

The game was developed by Dynamic Pixels studio in 2015. Originally only alpha and demo versions were available. The developers have already presented the full version of the game for mobile devices with iOS and Android, and the version for Windows and game consoles. 

Gameplay

The Hello Neighbor's idea is very simple: there is the main character, and there is his neighbor in the house across the street. In the basement of his house, a neighbor hides something very mysterious and creepy, and the hero needs to find out what it is.

The main feature of the game that the developers are focusing on is the neighbor's artificial intelligence, which adapts to the player's actions. Often you climb through the window - the neighbor will put a trap under it, walk the same route - the camera will appear on the way.

Your neighbor also has a good ear: if you throw objects or run around his house, he will hear and come to find out what is going on. It is where stealth mechanics show up: you can hide in your neighbor's closet, distract him with noise, or just bypass him by bending down.

Graphics

The graphics in the game Hello Neighbor does not match reality. The textures are not detailed, and the environment looks cartoony and fake. The sizes of objects and their shapes are heavily distorted. This was done to give a special style and atmosphere to the gameplay. But because of the complex graphics in the game there are many bugs. A lot of rooms have no furniture, the objects themselves are constantly repeated, the interiors do not tell the story. They seem to be built without any logic or meaning. It feels as if the creators were inspired by The Beginner's Guide, decided to do the same, but there wasn't enough talent. 

Is Hello Neighbor worth buying?

The Hello Neighbor is an indie game with advantages and disadvantages. The developers have done a lot of work since the release date, creating a full-fledged game with a story, videos, training, many add-ons, and interactive. Still, during the gameplay, there are bugs and hangs. In the indie game, it is difficult to work out the detailed physics of objects. And in this game, you can interact with different things and objects, which often leads to bugs. But because of this game does not become boring or less attractive. It is worth playing at least a few hours to try to get into the secret rooms of a neighbor and solve the secret of his creepy basement. What is he hiding there? Why does a neighbor use video cameras, weapons, and traps without even letting well-wishers near his house?
