About
Hello Neighbor Pre-Alpha is an early, 2016 public build of the stealth horror game. Players attempt to sneak into their creepy neighbor's house to uncover a secret in his basement, while an adaptive AI learns from their tactics to set traps and catch them.
The game begins after dark with the player awake across the street. Looking out the window, you see a mysterious, ominous red glow emanating from the open basement door of the Neighbor's house. Intrigued by what he might be hiding, you decide to break in.
