This game looks like it's 15 years old. It's running on modern hardware, but it plays like an E3 tech demo for a launch title for Xbox Live. When the Neighbor first caught me, my FOV clipped though half of his head at a blurry-yet-pixelated 10fps, giving the only genuine scare I experienced in the game.
You're also dropped in with no explanation of what to do, so I wandered aimlessly while my squad of preteens with headsets screamed at each other in the house's entryway.
This game should not have been released. In its current state, it's a proof of concept, not a final product.

This game is even WORSE than Hide N Seek. The Graphics are awful, as to be expected from this series.
The Gameplay has you and other kids run around the house trying to do the same thing you do in the first game, while avoiding the Neighbor, but this time, the Neighbor disguises himself as one of you children somehow, and why does he bother if he only wants to kids to go away, the whole disguise as kid is dumb and pointless, also like the first game, the Neighbor isn't programmed to always lay traps, only this time, he never lays them, and now he has X-ray vision, which is not how to handle a series known for having stealth. Secret Neighbor is a secret to me as to who thought this was a human idea, let alone a good one.

Fun spin-off game. With friends you know, it's a really really funny game. Otherwise you'll only get russian screaming kids. In my experience this game is pretty solid balanced and has some nice ideas. The map is big enough nd there are enough hiding spots. Graphicwise the game looks good and the sound is crispy. Well, sadly the game is dead. If u got enough friends to play, go for it. Don't buy if u plan to play alone.
