Encyclopedic overview
Hello Neighbor is a stealth horror game originally developed by Dynamic Pixels, now developed by Eerie Guest Studios and published by tinyBuild. Initially released as public alphas from 2016 to 2017, it received a full release for Windows and Xbox One on 8 December 2017, later for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, iOS and Android on 26 July 2018, and for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 on 27 March 2026.
The players controls Nicky Roth, who witnesses strange happenings at the house of his next-door neighbor, Theodore Peterson. His goal is to successfully sneak into the basement of the house to uncover a dark secret while avoiding being caught by Theodore. One of the main selling points of the game was the neighbor's artificial intelligence (AI) that changed behavior based on the player's past actions, such as setting bear traps along the player's path in a previous attempt, putting water bucket traps above doors the player has used and setting up surveillance cameras in areas the player has consistently visited.
