Neighbor is a classic pixel-style indie horror game for those who love the feeling of horror in every little detail. Inspired by the old Game Boy games but mixed with a modern, dark and unsettling story, the game will not only make you nostalgic but also make you shiver every time you press the "continue" button.
You have just moved into an old apartment, the top floor of a dilapidated building, and everything seems too perfect to be true. The neighbors are friendly, the space is quiet, and the rent is incredibly cheap. But when night falls, strange noises, a nailed-down room, and a cold basement gradually reveal the secrets of this building. Are the neighbors really friendly? Is the apartment you rented really empty? And why did everyone who used to live here... disappear?
You'll explore every nook and cranny of the building, unlocking buried secrets, and coming face-to-face with something—no longer human—still lurking behind the rotting wooden doors.
The game combines adventure and light puzzle gameplay. Players will move in a pixelated 2D space, interacting with objects, collecting clues, using items, and making important choices. The game is divided into chapters; each chapter is a deeper slice of the nightmare. All wrapped up in a creepy but extremely attractive Game Boy style.
What makes the game stand out is not just the heavy atmosphere or the slow pace of the story. It's the way the game cleverly creates the feeling of being watched, even when you're just standing still in an empty room. Death doesn't come suddenly, but it lurks through every footstep, every door creaking in the middle of the night. Forgotten memories in the basement, a woman who is no longer herself, and the ultimate decision—burning everything down—will help you escape?
Neighbor is a chilling reminder that unexpected bargains often come at an unimaginable cost. If you love indie games with depth, combined with a creepiness that runs through the experience, don’t miss it. But remember: always lock your door before going to bed. If you were brave enough to experience this game, try facing ultimate horror in Shutdown.
