Hello Neighbor

Hello Neighbor is a survival horror stealth game developed by Russian game development studio Dynamic Pixels and published by tinyBuild. The aim of the game is for the player to successfully sneak into the basement of their neighbor's house to uncover a secret. The game's artificial intelligence (AI) modifies the neighbor's behavior based on the player's past actions.
