Festive freebies: Day 12 of Epic’s 12-day sale

Hello Neighbor:  30 – 31 December 2019

Developed by Dynamic Pixels and published by tinyBuild two years ago, Hello Neighbor is an horror-themed stealth and Indi game that carries an age restriction of 10+ for violence. Sorry, kiddos.

Hello Neighbor is all about sneaking into your neighbour’s house and trying to get to the basement. Your neighbour is hiding something in the basement, see, and it’s up to you to uncover his secret.

You will be playing against an advanced AI (artificial intelligence) which learns from your actions, so don’t expect an easy-to-master game. Want to climb through the window? It’s a trap.

The gameplay is constantly evolving as the AI learns how you operate. I won’t lie, it freaked me out at some places. Give a go, see if it gets into your head too…

“Hello Neighbor is best thought of as a puzzle game where you’re frequently set back to the start of a section with very little you can meaningfully do about it. Puzzle solving also suffers for floaty movement, inconsistent physics, and bugs – such as key items vanishing – that can completely derail your progress.”

Chris Thursten, PC Gamer

Download Hello Neighbor for free here; the offer is valid until 18:00 on Tuesday 31 December 2019.

The Talos Principle

Developed by Croteam and published by Devolver Digital back in 2014, The Talos Principle is an action indie philosophical puzzler. It’s basically a first-person philosophical sci-fi game. What’s not to like?

The developers warn that you’ll find yourself in a “strange, contradictory world of ancient ruin and advanced technology”. You will need to solve a series of complex puzzles to advance.

“The game is a thought experiment of a kind, and you’ve got to be willing to engage with some heavy-going back matter to get the most out of it. It’s well worth engaging with, in my view, but I’d forgive you for not wanting to pause to parse 20 lines of computer-corrupted ‘Paradise Lost’, having just exhausted your faculties rearranging lasers.”
