Secret Neighbor is a multiplayer horror game, developed by Hologryph. Tiny Build Games released it in 2019. This scary neighbor story has become one of the best-selling indie games over the past few years.

Gloomy Hide and Seek

Secret Neighbor revolves around six playable characters with unique traits that should help the team complete the task. Character interaction is also part of the game and opens up a massive field for unexpected situations and spontaneous humor. It's equally funny to experience this multiplayer with friends and with strangers from the server.

Each character has a range of unique abilities to help a team of children find all the keys and rescue a friend. But it would not be so creepy and exciting if the Neighbor did not disguise himself as one of the children. So the whole game has to rush around the house searching for the cherished keys while keeping an eye out.

Strange Crazy World

The developers managed to do something interesting, namely to create a dark and attractive visual world. Locations are full of eye-catching details that make a unique thriller atmosphere. The lighting in the game deserves special praise, especially during the holidays.

The controls system does not take too long to understand. In the center of the screen, you will find an inventory. Each player can carry up to 2 items. However, Bagger is available with up to 4 items. There are hints for the current thing you are currently holding in the screen's lower right corner. A cross in the center of the screen will help you aim. Moreover, when you point the sign at an object, hints appear.

You won't find an alternate ending here or anything that could change the whole game's meaning. Therefore, the replay value is not very high. But you can always choose new characters to try different roles or play online with other partners. However, you will not feel significant changes.

Simple but inviting

The game is quite simple, which is convenient in multiplayer. It's fun to run in it, invent various moves in the fight against a neighbor. The rounds are short-lived so that you won't get tired of the game. Of course, bugs and players can be knocked out right in the middle of the round, which can be too inconvenient.

Pros:
  • Available for different platforms
  • Multiplayer
  • Gloomy atmospere
Cons:
  • Low replay value
  • Can’t run a lobby search together
