Sneak into your creepy neighbor's house to uncover the secret he is hiding in the basement. Hello Neighbor is a stealth horror game where the neighbor learns from your every move: rush through the front door and he will camp it next time, smash a window and he will board it up. Watch his patrol routes through windows, find keys, disable locks and work out how to reach the basement while the advanced AI opponent adapts to your tactics. Every failed break-in teaches him something new, so vary your approach, use back entrances and stay quiet. A tense cat-and-mouse horror experience that plays directly in your browser with no download required.
Editor's take
The browser port of the stealth-horror premise everyone knows: one house, one basement, one neighbor who remembers. What still works in this web version is the core loop — case the property, find a way in, grab what you need, and get out before footsteps find you. The AI-that-learns pitch is softened here, but the neighbor does react to noise and repeated routes, so brute-forcing the front door twice is a genuine mistake. Controls are standard WASD-and-E and behave well in a desktop browser; treat it as a coffee-break stealth box rather than the full 2017 campaign. If you want the hello-neighbor fantasy without a download, this is the most faithful free option on the site, and it pairs well with our granny-style escape catalogue for the same sneaking-around tension.
