[h3]NEW CLASS - THE GUEST[/h3]
An ominous figure has been spotted in the Neighborhood. We don’t know everything yet, but what we do know is that its appearance is heralded by the sound of cacophonous clicks and croaks that let him sense movement, it appears to be able to cling to walls, and it's able to cover a truly terrifying amount of ground in a single leap.

Introducing, the Guest! - This class strikes fear into anyone in close proximity, leaps long distances with relative ease, can cling to walls, & can disarm players of their hard-won items with his uncanny scream! But all that jumping around can take its toll, so he may have to stop to catch his breath a bit more often than other Neighbor classes.

Can you take on this uninvited Guest, or will you be the next one to go simming?



[h3]Rain, rain, go away...wait, there's rain now?![/h3]

From storms to sunny days, experience it all with the new randomized weather system!

Dress in layers and don't forget your umbrella, this entirely new weather system is waiting for you on your next login! We all know the weather can get pretty crazy in this town, in keeping with this each new match will have a randomized weather effect applied to it. We've even heard rumors of a rare sunny day in the forecast, lending a completely new look and feel to already familiar locations.



[h3]Express yourself or take a quick dance break with new emotes[/h3]

Who said the spooky season couldn’t involve any fun? Meet the newest Emote type - dances! Break it down in the lobby and show off your sweet macarena skills, or "Shh" to your heart's content, new emotes let you express yourself as well as communicate more effectively in-game. Find them in the Shop! 🕺

Emotes aren't the only new expressions coming with this update, the new proximity and field-of-view-based fear effect shows both on your screen as well as on your characters' faces.😱

Don't worry though, you'll begin to calm down once The Neighbor/Guest is out of your view for long enough.



[h3]Getting into the spooky spirit![/h3]

Check out scream-worthy costumes in the Shop and spooky decor in-game. It looks like Mr. Peterson was preparing his house for Halloween before he was interrupted by an uninvited Guest.
Also, the Peterson house appears to have gotten more haunted since last year...somehow.
But don't go chasing after paranormal activity just yet! Gear up with a proper ghost-hunting outfit, and stop by the Seasonal Shop to grab some spooky new threads! 👻



Want to see more of The Guest?
[h3]You can wishlist + pre-order Hello Neighbor 2, and get instant access to the exclusive Beta + 3 new DLC on launch![/h3]

We hope you enjoy the Call of Kraa update! Happy Halloween from all of us on the Secret Neighbor team, and may your candy supply last you well into the holiday season. 🍬🍫🍭

Till next time!

Starting now, all Steam players with a new or existing Hello Neighbor 2 Wishlist OR pre-order will obtain the 2020 PAX East exclusive Neighbor mask FREE on login!

We hope you enjoyed this mini-update, now get out there and inflict a little extra psychological damage on your matchmates. I mean…dress up and show it off! And as an added bonus Secret Neighbor is currently 75% off during the Steam Survival Fest!




Note: If you do not immediately see the item don’t worry, it should appear for new wishlists within the span of a few matches.

Till next time!
