The player must thus change up their approach to avoid the attentive neighbour, use items to their advantage to break away from a pursuit and learn to outsmart the AI over time. The neighbor will learn hiding spots, favourite tactics and set traps on paths the player previously used. Where Hello Neighbor stands out is the advanced AI of the neighbor, who learns from the players past behaviours and modifies to prevent those actions from being as useful. The player’s job is to search the home of the neighbour without being caught and discover his secret. In the game, the player moves into a house across the street from a mysterious, nameless neighbour who is hiding a terrible secret in his basement. Publisher Tinybuild would pick them up based on the Kickstarter’s attention, and their funding allowed the team to continue development. Originally released as an alpha build on Dynamic Pixels’ website before launching on Steam Greenlight, the game quickly gained the attention of the larger gaming media and Youtube influencers, which helped lead into a largely unsuccessful Kickstarter. Hello Neighbor is an indy Stealth Horror game created by Dynamic Pixels and published by Tinybuild.
