About Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek

Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek tells the tragic story of the Neighbor's family in this dramatic prequel to the original stealth horror hit Hello Neighbor. Rather than sneaking into a stranger's home, this chapter turns inward, exploring the personal loss at the heart of the family and the events that shaped the character players would later face.

At its core, you play through a game of hide-and-seek with your brother as the two of you grapple with the death of a family member. That simple childhood pastime becomes the frame for a story about grief, giving the familiar Hello Neighbor world an unexpectedly emotional angle.

By filling in the events leading up to the first game, this action-adventure prequel deepens the wider Hello Neighbor narrative and offers context for what came before. It carries the series' indie roots and atmospheric style onto PC, inviting both longtime fans and newcomers to understand the family whose story set everything in motion.
