You're in your house, which looks full-sized but is apparently just a tiny bedroom and even tinier hallway. There's no backstory yet, nor even any objectives or instructions. The pre-alpha build, which is available to download as of yesterday, doesn't provide a great deal of context as to why you decide to go snooping around in the house of the chap who lives across the street, but that is precisely what you must do. Or an intrusive offspring of the surveillance state. Hello Neighbor is a first-person stealth horror game in which you play as a concerned citizen. Or the time when I hid in a wardrobe and tried to lean so that I could peek through a crack in the door only to find myself leaking slowly through that crack and directly into the neighbour's line of sight. I'm thinking of the time the chase music began while I was in my own home and the neighbour's face pressed against the window suddenly as he tried to run through it to murderise me. Not because of any great qualities in the design, but rather because some of my favourite things about it might get 'fixed'. You can play Hello Neighbor right now, for free, and I strongly suggest that you do.
