Hi everyone! I was doing some checks and turned out Alpha 4 wasn't available since we released Beta 3 here on Steam. That is now fixed, and with this post I'd like to run through exactly what you get with Pre-Ordering, and what's available for free with Hello Neighbor.
What's available for free. You can get these from HelloNeighborGAME.com
- Pre-Alpha - early proof of concept build with a simple house with 1 floor
- Alpha 1 - a prototype build with a large house, two floors, and in-between art style. This is the one with the shark puzzle.
- Alpha 2 - a tutorial style build with a story intro, and final artstyle. This one represents how Hello Neighbor will play. It has a creepy 2 story house, but less content than Alpha 1. The AI works really well here
What you get for Pre-Ordering
- Alpha 3 - has a draft of the final house in a darker setting. AI isn't final, but the house's layout is already large and complex.
- Alpha 4 - more expanded house, proper day time cycles, updated AI, first glimpse at fear story sequences
- Beta 1 - don't play this if you don't like bugs. This is where we upgraded the engine and while the house was also updated, the AI and stability of the game aren't great. Has a proper intro.
- Beta 2 - less glitchy, still rather unplayable. Good for people who want to get an idea of how we iterated.
- Beta 3 - recommended current build. Has loads of content, and the AI can finally properly navigate multiple floors in the large house.
