As the title suggests “Hide and Seek” is what the children are initially upto, and you begin the game by hiding around the house from your little brother Aaron. Without revealing any spoilers to Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek, the prequel has you playing as Mr Peterson’s daughter, Mya, and as the story develops you learn a lot more about Mr Peterson’s character giving more depth to him and helping you understand why he acts the way he does in the original Hello Neighbor game. Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek is similar in this respect however the story this time is a lot different. The advanced AI cleverly and annoyingly analysed your behaviour and quickly adjusted to counter your style making each attempt to break into the house harder and harder. If any of you have played the game you will appreciate that the neighbor, Mr Peterson, was relentless in his pursuits of you and most of the game was about being caught. The first Hello Neighbor game saw you play the role of a young boy who thinks he has seen something untoward happening in his Neighbor’s basement and attempts to sneak into his house and uncover the truth, check out a film called “The Burbs” if you enjoy the storyline.

Let’s break it down! If you go down to the woods today you’d better go in disguise. Conceived as a prequel to the first Hello Neighbor game, it is fairly similar in gaming experience and notoriously harder in my opinion when it comes to solving puzzles. Hello Neighbor: Hide & Seek by Tiny Build is the second installment of the gaming franchise and is available on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PC.
