Scary Neighbor

Sneaking past a neighbor who hears every floorboard creak isn't just tense—it's the whole reason you'll keep restarting this 3D stealth nightmare.

First thing I noticed: the neighbor doesn't patrol a set path. He hears doors open, cabinets shut, even the creak of that one floorboard by the stairs. Once he's onto you, his footsteps speed up and the chase gets real. I spent twenty minutes hiding behind a couch in the living room, holding my breath, while he checked the same closet twice. The tension is the point. You'll need to search drawers, pick up keys, maybe solve a simple puzzle to unlock the basement door. The house is cramped and cluttered, which works in your favor—until you knock over a vase. Then you're sprinting for the front door, heart pounding, because getting caught means starting over from the porch. No checkpoints. It's brutal but fair. Arrow keys move, mouse aims the camera. That's it. Simple, but tight enough that sneaking feels deliberate. My only gripe: the camera can get stuck on furniture if you're too close, so back off a step before turning.

• Listen for his footsteps before opening any door—wait till they fade. • Crouch-walk near walls to reduce noise, but watch for loose boards. • The front door resets your run, but items you've found stay with you. • Use the neighbor's tantrums as cover: if he's breaking a door down, you can grab a key across the hall. • Turn the mouse slowly when peeking around corners—fast turns make noise.
