HELLO NEIGHBOR GREEN LIGHT PATCH

In some cases, the neighbor seems to notice you through a wall even if you are sneaking and have closed everything behind you. He still throws pots or other objects, still chases, still drops bear traps or turns on cameras and lights, etc.

In fact, in my run through, he seemed to get more aggressive, jumping through windows to reach me when he didn't normally do that before. Sadly, Hello Neighbor's Friendly Mode doesn't actually seem to do what the developers intended at this point! There's been no noticeable change in standard detection or chasing behavior. If you were having problems constantly getting caught or even just making it into the house, you can toggle this option during an existing game and don't even have to restart. Here's what one member of the development crew had to say about the new option:

There was hope for those who couldn't overcome the diabolical neighbor and his nefarious traps, as a patch was just released adding in a new toggle option titled Friendly Mode.ДЄs with most of the game's mechanics, there's no description of what exactly this toggle changes or how Friendly Mode is different from a standard run through. Even with all that fan input over the last year, some new players have struggled to make it past the neighbor and successfully explore the interior of his mysterious abode.
