It's important to note that mods are not official versions and are not created or supported by the original game developers. The mod includes new levels or areas to explore that are not available in the original game and even have new characters added to the game, such as additional enemies or allies that can help you.

There are puzzles to solve in this mod to escape the granny or you get access to new weapons like guns and grenades to defend yourself against the granny. New characters, weapons, and features are added to the mod, and the gameplay mechanics and level design are altered from the base game.

You have to get out of that haunted house before the old lady with a bad temper gets you and murders you. It might be fun to watch someone else play, but for you to play yourself? Not so much.The game's basic premise is the same in both the original Scary Granny 4 and this modified version. It feels like a game designed to garner traffic online, one for people to complain and commiserate about - something that seems absurd, but if your kids like to watch streamers, this will make sense. But the game is remarkably vague about what its puzzles are, how the controls work, and even the story itself. It's plausible that impatient players will get no further than the front door and never see confusing and amusing parts of the house like its rollercoaster and water-filled room. There's only a basic tutorial, so you're thrown in with little sense of how to even make progress at all. In other words, you can intentionally be caught somewhere far away from where you intend to enter next time, and get on your merry way.īut doing that isn't exactly desirable. Although the game boasts a formidable artificial intelligence, all this seems to really mean is the neighbor will hang out where he last found you. You get to keep everything in your inventory and you get to try again, immediately.

That is, in a game hinging entirely on your trying to get into your neighbor's basement, even when your neighbor finds you, all that really happens is a few additional traps are laid.

The main problem with Hello Neighbor is it feels primarily designed for YouTube streamers than for an average player: The controls stick, the neighbor's sneakiness is meant to provoke outlandish streamer reactions for people to comment about online, and even "losing" doesn't matter. The fact that there isn't a whole lot going on isn't necessarily an outright dismissal of its gameplay. This stealth action game proves that a clever concept isn't nearly enough to provide engaging or immersive play.
