Hello Neighbor (PS4)

Product Information

There is a great game buried here, as long as the development studio fixes the problems currently plaguing it. Long forgotten rumors of children going missing up at the abandoned schoolhouse have begun to resurface, but the only one still there is the cranky old caretaker and his mean watch dogs!

Some clever level design and a clear talent for making me feel creeped out eased the frustration, but don’t present enough of a reason for me to recommend anyone put themselves through 15-20 hours of this.

Developer Dynamic Pixels have really pushed to get this game out on every device under the sun with the help and support of their publisher, tinyBuild. With the suspicious Neighbour always on guard, you're constantly looking for a way to carefully sneak by, or a place to hide.

For Halloween 2017, a promotional mod was released including multiple elements from the indie game Bendy and the Ink Machine.The issue with this is that when you combine the fact you’re always holding key items which are crucial to progressing the story, with the fact the controls are a bit fiddly, this can lead to some rather unfortunate accidents, as advised above. So, as you can approach things in various ways, it’s not the end of the world if you accidentally hold a key, stick your hand through a door, and then throw the key inside the locked room (which a friend of mine actually did)!
