You have two slots for items, and start off with the flashlight.

The controls are actually really simple, so it’s not real confusing or hard to learn. I chose to start a new game because I was determined to do better. You can stay and watch the game and see if any of the kids make it or if the Neighbor captures everybody and wins, or you can choose to leave the game without penalty. Kind of reminded me of some games that are Battle Royale, like Apex because once you are captured by the Neighbor, it’s game over. This game can be really frustrating for new players in that way. As I was trying to learn the controls and figure out what was what, I was immediately scooped up by the Neighbor and game over. So going into the game right away I realized there was a learning curve. Like I said, I’m not that big a fan of this genre or style type of game but I’ve heard good things about similar games like Dead by Daylight and Among Us which share some characteristics with this game, so I said why not. So I went into this game with low expectations. There are a couple of different game modes as well as a level editor for you to create your own maze and invite friends to play. You can transform in and out of your disguise and also set up traps. As the neighbor your job is to stop the intruders by capturing them all. One of you is a traitor, the Neighbor in disguise. What could go wrong right? Well that’s where the secret in Secret Neighbor comes to play. There are six different characters altogether and you can cooperate by teaming up and staying together or splitting up and exploring alone. For example the detective starts with a photo of a key location, while the bagger has an extra item slot.

You can use perks and abilities unique to each class of characters. Your job is to work together to sneak around the house and collect the keys that unlock the basement door. You have a group of neighborhood kids, your friends, who are there to help get into the basement too. However in this game Secret Neighbor, you’re not on your own. You’re Shia LeBeouf and need to get into your Neighbor’s basement after witnessing something suspicious and disturbing.
#SECRET NEIGHBOR SWITCH REVIEW MOVIE#
The game Hello Neighbor is kind of like a kid’s version of the movie Disturbia. The game has an easy enough concept that I didn’t understand at first but after reading about the game it’s based off of, it makes sense. So I’ve played all kinds of different games and have definitely found some that were more fun than I thought they would be. That being said, I’m also an OG gamer who has been playing games for over 30 years since Super Mario Bros. I think my favorite games to play are FPS’s, RPG’s and probably fighting or adventure games. I have to say first off that this kind of game is not something that I would normally play. Just one catch, one of you is the Neighbor in disguise. The game supports up to 6 players who must work as a group to unlock the basement. Secret Neighbor was initially released in October 2019 and just recently on August 26th 2021 for Nintendo Switch. It is a spin-off of the Hello Neighbor franchise/series and is available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC. Secret Neighbor is a multiplayer Social/Horror game developed by Hologryph and published by tinyBuild Games.
