In Hello Neighbor 1, your goal was pretty straightforward break into your creepy Neighbor’s basement to uncover what he was hiding, but what happened after that? In Hello Neighbor 2 you’ll be playing as Quentin, a reporter investigating a series of missing persons cases in town. We’re working with more subtle things creepy neighbors that you cannot trust, mysterious things that go bump in the night, a rural town with a secret, and the feeling of unease when you may be just about to uncover a skeleton in somebody’s closet. We approach horror in a more delicate way, doing away with the straight in-your-face classic horror aspects of the grown-up world.
There is a clear dichotomy between these two genres, but the narrative walks the line by burying its secrets along with its trauma…sometimes quite literally. At the heart of Hello Neighbor lies a carefully constructed layer-cake of social horror and family-friendly fare.
