Secret Neighbor
Secret Neighbor is a multiplayer Social Horror game set in the Hello Neighbor universe. Explore the Hello Neighbor house with your friends, but beware - one of you is the Neighbor in disguise. Use teamwork and rescue your friend from the basement, or mess with everyone’s heads as the Neighbor!
What it feels like
Rescuers cannot trust each other; any teammate could be the enemy, creating pervasive distrust and suspicion. The deception and asymmetric gameplay invite mischievous fun and mind games rather than pure horror scares.
What it's about
Unraveling which player is the Neighbor in disguise is the central mystery that structures the experience. The Neighbor is a hidden infiltrator working against the group, creating a conspiracy-like deception dynamic. The Hello Neighbor universe setting and creepy basement provide horror atmosphere, though the multiplayer deception is the primary focus.
How it plays
The Neighbor must blend in and hide their identity among the rescuers by behaving like a teammate, while rescuers must deduce who the traitor is. Both rescuers and the disguised Neighbor use stealth and evasion as core tactics within the house exploration. Rescuers must read behavior and suspicious actions to identify the Neighbor; trust and detection of deception drive tension.
How it looks and sounds
The game is played from a first-person perspective as rescuers explore the house.
How it's structured
One player is the Neighbor in disguise while others are rescuers, creating fundamentally different roles, rules, and win conditions. The game is fundamentally built around cooperative play where a group works together to rescue their friend from the basement.
