Standing too close to the window would cause any projectile to magically bypass through the glass, leaving it unscathed.
#Hello neighbor in real life windows
Smashing windows is another regular occurrence in the game that brought about problems. Sometimes I had to frantically hit the button again and again to get our character to do what he was supposed to. To accomplish those simple tasks you will have to either tap the appropriate button, or at other times hold the button down briefly. It shouldn’t be hard to pick up objects and open doors.
Hello Neighbor does have its share of problems and the controls are awkward. My heart was racing from both fear and excitement. The jump scares don’t seem to have been intended by the developers, but they are effective. That’s the best way that I can describe the fright found within the game.
Suddenly seeing him peering in my direction from a distance would scare the hell out of me. I would be lost in the puzzle solving and forget about the crazy person stalking me. The platforming will leave you, well, trying again and again to make that jump!īut we’re not alone in the house. The Resident Evil style of puzzles will use every IQ point in your possession, and will leave you mentally exhausted as if you had just left a math class. If the stranger danger wasn’t there and we were all alone in the house, it would be just as challenging. My interpretation will surely differ from yours.Ĭasual gamers will need to be aware of Hello Neighbor, this is a seriously difficult puzzler-slash-platforming game. The paintings are abstract however, and it’s still up to us to determine what they mean. These breaks from the main gameplay paint a picture that tell us a story. The mini levels are confusing at first, but do become some of the more interesting parts of the game. At certain points in the game, and after getting caught many times, we’re treated to cutscenes in the form of playable dream sequences. As I had pointed out earlier we’re given nothing at the start. The story within Hello Neighbor is found in the details. Yes he does learn, but he isn’t smart enough to know that I was going after the hidden key to unlock his secret door! Ultimately he will set up traps and motion detectors in our traffic areas. I would have to lure him away by breaking windows on the opposite side of the house. When I ran the same path through the house many times, the man, who will remain unnamed, would be waiting for me around the corner. Hello Neighbor advertises that the AI is intuitive and will learn our tactics and adapt to them as we play. Don’t worry though as everything that has been moved or unlocked will remain as is. Getting caught has no dire consequences we just return to the start of the stage. There are no lives to be lost or continues to collect.
