Initially, it looked like a suitable, child’s game but the basic clunky graphics and frustrating gameplay soon wore thin and is no longer played. 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!

Finally, I looked it up and I was right, I just didn’t realise you had to use boxes to help you jump higher because the initial ‘tutorial’ was pretty poor.As the player explores the neighbor's house, they must not be spotted by the mysterious neighbor, or they will be chased down, and if the player is not quick enough to hide or escape, then they will be captured. In the first act I want to open the electric box outside on the left side of the house and I can’t seem to open it I can only jump. Hello Neighbor is a game you persevere in due to sheer luck rather than any sort of actual skill, foresight, or cleverness. This game mode includes a yellow-and-black background, music of the game and a multitude of Bendy appearances.

Nicky navigates the house and has surreal experiences, such as learning to double jump by shrinking down and trying to turn on a light that is far out of reach. It’s very different to your standard adventure games where the protagonist can shove everything, including the kitchen sink, into their pockets as they discover an item they picked up a few hours ago is just what they need to solve a puzzle. Their goal is to successfully sneak into the basement of the neighbor's house to uncover a dark secret while avoiding being caught by him. I also lost an item in act two yet realised there were about three or four ways to complete the level.This is accomplished by utilising a lot of inventory puzzles as well as sneaking around without him realising where you are and even smashing things to cause a distraction. Hello Neighbor is a frustrating slog through a gauntlet of illogical puzzles that rely on persistence and thoroughness far more than cleverness, observation, or ingenuity.
