Evaluation
This Steam listing is for "Hello Neighbor 2 Alpha 1.5," which is a standalone early alpha build of Hello Neighbor 2 that was released on July 23, 2020 and last updated with Alpha 1.5 on October 26, 2020. It is important to understand what this product actually is: it is a pre-release alpha version of Hello Neighbor 2 that served as a playable preview. The full game — Hello Neighbor 2 — launched separately on December 6, 2022 on its own Steam listing (App ID 1321680), as confirmed by multiple developer posts from 2022 referencing the full game's release date and pre-order availability.
All developer news posts on this listing are from 2020, covering the Alpha 1 and Alpha 1.5 update cycle. The most recent post on this listing is a bug fix patch from October 29, 2020. There have been no developer communications on this product page since that date. The news posts from 2022 (NEWS-1 through NEWS-4) reference and link to the separate full game listing, not this alpha build.
The Alpha 1.5 update shipped on October 26, 2020, with a follow-up bug fix patch on October 29, 2020. No further content updates were announced or delivered for this alpha listing after that point. The developer's full attention shifted to completing and launching the full Hello Neighbor 2 game, which released in December 2022 on a separate store page.
This alpha listing has been effectively superseded by the full game release. It stands as a completed, archived alpha build with no further updates planned or delivered since October 2020.
Evidence
Developer announces the full Hello Neighbor 2 game available for pre-order with a Beta, targeting a full launch on December 6, 2022 on a separate Steam listing. All subsequent developer activity moved to that separate product.
Alpha 1.5 released with reworked main house, AI improvements, improved open world, more story, and a Halloween puzzle. This is the final content update delivered on this listing.

Self-learning AI
- AI explores the environment and constantly seeks ways to ambush the player
- AI watches player navigation patterns and if these seem to be effective, will replicate them
- AI has a daily routine that gets disrupted by the player: sleeping, eating, cooking, and possibly going into the woods to dig up bags of non-bodies
- AI will use the same objects as the player, using them for the same purposes. If the player uses a fire extinguisher to get up top, so will the AI.
Open world
- Explore the Raven Brooks, there are no limitations and players can go anywhere from the beginning of the game. The AI protects its house when the player is trying to break in, and stalks the player when out in the open world.
- Players have their own stories. Narrative is emergent, depending on how players decide to play the game.
- The world changes depending on your actions
Sandbox experience
- Players should find creative solutions to solve the puzzle by combining different items, terrain features and platforming skills
- Many in-game events are persistent and scheduled in random order, that gives a feeling of a living world. Players may examine each random in-game event to find a different outcome
