Hello Guest is a follow-up to Hello Neighbor, a 2017 stealth-horror game about sneaking into somebody’s basement by outwitting the AI subsequent door. The schtick was that the neighbour in query would study out of your actions – determining routes and ways you trended in the direction of and utilizing that intel to foil your plans. A bit like Alien: Isolation‘s titular xenomorph, actually, if it wore a cardigan and had a moustache to twirl.

Rather than sun-dappled suburbia, Hello Guest shifts the body to Golden Apple Theme Park. You’re not the interloper this time – moderately, you’re put within the boots of a safety guard, protecting an eye fixed out for undesirable company. In this case, it’s this Jim Henson-looking beaky boy. He’s awfully frightful of the sunshine, certain. But, like Neighbor’s eponymous neighbour, the AI-driven critter will begin to determine methods to get round your extra dependable tips.

We haven’t actually written a lot of something in regards to the “Hello” games on web site, however I collect they’ve accomplished fairly effectively for themselves. Turns out, the collection’ unpredictable AI behaviours result in some awfully watchable, YouTube-able shenanigans. Delivering extra of the identical in a Scooby-Doo theme park? Sounds truthful game, I reckon.

Hello Guest’s free alpha could be downloaded over on Steam, the Microsoft Store or straight through the Hello Guest website.
