Secret Neighbor, an upcoming multiplayer, social horror game from publisher tinyBuild GAMES and developers Dynamic Pixels and Hologryph, is part of the Hello Neighbor stealth horror series.
Secret Neighbor starts with players arriving at the front of a house, and all the kids have to find a missing friend. In order to do that, the kids have to go through the whole house to find all the keys that open the basement door. Now here is the twist, that one of the player is The Neighbor disguised as the kid. The house is decorated for Halloween so you can find all the special stuff including pumpkin and spider decorations inside the house. If the Neighbor catches one of the children, then the child goes missing and it is up to the rest of the players to find the keys and get to the basement.
The house has different kinds of rooms and different hiding places. I was startled for a moment the first time I got caught by The Neighbor, because the feel in the house and the background music and soundtrack suddenly changes to spooky. Audio perfectly matches the Halloween and the concept of the game altogether. The graphics are great and the design of the house is spooky, which gives you that Halloweenish feeling.
The controls for Secret Neighbor are simple. They include crouching, sprinting, and there are items in the inventory that can be used. There are items that can be picked up and thrown at someone if needed to. There are also certain special things that make the neighbor even more scary as he can turn into a pumpkin and no one will be able to identify him that easily. But there are lot of places that children can use to hide themselves and utilize it to their advantage. The controls for the Neighbor are even simpler because they include transforming, grabbing one of the children, and using the Radar to find the children.
Overall, Secret Neighbor is a fun package and I am looking forward to the further advancements in the game when the full release comes out.
