5 tips for Hello Neighbor

Sneaky does it

Something strange (and possibly criminal) is afoot next door – and it’s up to you to get to the bottom of it.

In this unsettling first-person game of cat and mouse, you’ll break into the basement of your creepy neighbour, who has set up traps to keep you out. But fear not! These tips will help tame the terror.

Can you stay one step ahead?

1. Walk softly

Move slowly to keep the noise you make to a minimum. Door-busting heroes get rumbled quick!

2. Get off his lawn

If your neighbour does spot you, run. (You’ll know he’s closing in when the sides of the screen start to darken.) Cross the street to ensure he’s no longer on your tail – then take a breath and sneak back in.

3. Take stock

You can only carry so many things at once, so stow your stuff strategically. Keep precious keys in your house, for instance, or put an umbrella near the roof, where you’ll use it later.

He’s surprisingly agile in argyle.

4. Cause a scene

Need to reach a certain room undetected? Create a distraction to send your neighbour to another part of the house. The circuit breaker box is great for this!

5. Have an exit plan

As you explore, always identify hiding spots or a clear path off the property. Getting caught in the open or trapped behind a locked door guarantees an early end.
