I know many of you have been waiting for the release of the original Hello Neighbor Alphas. It's 2 weeks until launch of Secret Neighbor, and there are 5 alpha builds. I will be launching a new alpha every few days leading up to launch.

The Alphas of Hello Neighbor were a series of game builds we used to test out the original game's gameplay, setting, lore, and AI. They show the logical evolution of how the game became Hello Neighbor.

I just launched the first Pre-Alpha build. Enjoy:

Howdy there Neighbors!

We are gearing up for the Halloween-ish launch window for Secret Neighbor, and the whole team is working non-stop to make sure we get a good game that meets all of your expectations.

I may have leaked the below already on our discord (https://discord.gg/secretneighbor) but the details over there revolve around Neighbor's abilities and leveling.

If you participated in the Secret Neighbor Beta, you will know we have character and Neighbor classes. What we didn't really like about the system was lack of progression during the match. Some Neighbor players would go haywire from minute 1, and sometimes kid players would just run off and very quickly get all keys. So we decided to change this in 2 meaningful ways.

One is around the house itself. You will now need to progress through the house by unlocking its doors. The further you are in the house, the more high tier loot you can find, and you will need to unlock all of it to find keys to the basement. You unlock in-house doors with keycards. This creates a natural sense of progression.

To counter this, we decided to make the Neighbor level up as the match goes. The Neighbor player will need to sneak off to search for specific items that level him up, gradually unlocking his abilities. So in the very beginning it makes absolutely no sense to reveal yourself and attack others.

I will update everyone on how this shapes up as we're still trying to balance it.

Oh, and also - Hello Neighbor: Hide & Seek is coming to Steam this December. Rejoice!

Hey everyone!

We had an incredible PRE-PAX night full of announcements and mystery! I am writing this before the actual event happens, so I have no idea if we'll make it into cringe compilations yet. Fingers crossed!

So let's run through the news.

Yes, it's true. It's happening.

If you're at PAXWest this weekend in Seattle, be sure to checkout our large booth right next to the Indie Megabooth. We have a very special Secret Neighbor and Graveyard Keeper sections, alongside your favorite Totally Reliable Delivery Service and the games listed above.

In case you're wondering, you will indeed be able to play Graveyard Keeper in an actual coffin.

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for participating in the beta.

My jaw just dropped when checking the numbers. Half a million people - 500k of you -- have participated in shaping the future of Secret Neighbor! Half a million players.

As you've seen with the updates, we have gathered a ton of valuable feedback and are putting our heads down for the final crunch.

We will be announcing the launch date at PAX West next week in Seattle, so watchout for that!

Good morning everyone and welcome to the Secret Neighbor BETA!

*holds for insane reeing and the crowd going wild*

*breathes in*

Ok, we've got a few special things in store for you today.



The beta is live and runs until August 19th. We decided to make it simpler to get it, and you can simply download the Secret Neighbor Beta app on Steam:

All weekend long we will be hosting the Stranger Reads livestream on Steam and Youtube! We will be reading through the first two HELLO NEIGHBOR BOOKS! Live. With bumpers and very zen weirdness. Join us on the Steam page or on Youtube - https://youtube.com/tinybuildgames



We've created an easy to scan through guide of how to play the new beta. Please go through it - it's a nifty imgur album.



The TLDR changelog

• We now have Neighbor character classes
  
• The user flow has been redesigned. You now equip your character before you enter quick game, so that we don't have people in the lobby waiting for others to configure themselves
  
• Character classes have been improved/rebalanced/redesigned
  
• The house has many new surprises
  
• I especially like the smoke bomb for the Neighbor
  
• Read the imgur album for details so I don't flood this post
