Hello, Neighbor! vs Until Dawn
Hello, Neighbor!
Hello, Neighbor! is a first-person horror/adventure game where you play a newly moved-in suburbian who noticed that their grumpy and unfriendly neighbor is being all suspicious. Your curiousity got the better of you and you took it upon yourself to play detective, break into your neighbor’s house (hopefully undetected) and find out what’s going on.Now, Hello, Neighbor! is not only a game that's unique because no one has ever done something like this before; the game also has a lot of surprising depth to it especially when it comes to figuring out the best way to break into your neighbor's place without getting caught or when your neighbor made an unexpected detour and you're just seconds from being found out. Not to mention, the AI in this game - your neighbor - actually is quite devious too. It can learn from your previous successful attempts and adapt accordingly. As a result, the game gradually becomes increasingly difficult and unpredictably challenging even for the best players.
Not to mention, it’s not every day you could plot how to break into your neighbor’s home, albeit a virtual one, and actually go and carry it out without having to worry about getting caught trespassing and slapped with a hefty fine. If you're interested, you can try the game's demo out for free.
Until Dawn
Until Dawn is a story-rich and an intense horror-thriller game where you play as one of eight friends who are trapped in a remote mountain retreat and apparently, they are not alone. With fear gnawing at the edges of their very sanity, they will need to last the night until dawn (and salvation) arrives. Being story-driven, the game provides you with many dialogue choices to choose from, each of which has its own consequences and outcomes. Sometimes, that very outcome may mean life or death for a character. Not to mention, the game is complete with realistic graphics and an atmospheric (and perfectly creepy) music and sound effects that will keep you glued to the screen as you follow the storyline.Until Dawn is definitely not the sort of game for the weak-hearted. The horror element in the game can be pretty intense at times, but the storytelling from its pacing to the clincher is simply superb although, personally, I'm not a huge fan of scary stories. Until Dawn is available on Playstation consoles.
