Hello Neighbor is filling its gameplay with a number of fascinating features including mysterious puzzles, spooky and horrifying ambience and exciting actions. The central goal of the game is to uncover secretes of the neighbor by sneaking into his house without being caught. For new gamers, there are some tips and warnings they should pay attention to when they're navigating through the gameplay.

The most important thing to avoid is being detected. This would incur a chasing and escaping situation between the player and the neighbor who is likely to outpace the former and toss the gamer out of his house. If that happens, the game restarts all over again.

The game progress is made through completing one act after another. There are four acts in total and each act raises up more difficulty and complicity of the game. The final act is an action-charged battle with the neighbor. While the previous three acts are mainly puzzle-based where players act skillfully, the fourth act intensifies the action of dodging and stealth.

Besides, this game also introduces the AI learning mechanism into its major construct and game progress. Players need to play against the wits of the AI who can learn and analyze players behaviors and moving habits and takes actions accordingly.

Meanwhile, this game offers two difficulty levels (regular or friendly) for players to choose from. In the regular mode, players are normally less advantaged than the AI neighbor who is very alert on the movements of the player and can outrun the escaping target. While friendly mode lowers the sensitiveness and alertness of the neighbor whose running speed is also slowed down. It is therefore recommended that beginners start the game from friendly mode to reduce its intensity.

What’s more, some players may notice that this game offers a large number of interactive in-game items. It should be noted that some of them are crucial in solving the puzzles while others are just random.
