How do I begin the game in Secret Neighbor?

At the very beginning of the game, it is best to start by selecting a character. You can play as a child or as a neighbor. There are 2 neighbors to choose from and 6 children - they all have different skills and passive abilities.

Each character in the game has its own unique abilities.

When playing Secret Neighbor, you need to focus on listening - this will help you to detect dangers early on (e.g. you'll be able to hear that the enemy in the neighboring room is disguising as one of you). If you are not a Bagger, and can see well in the dark, you can completely get rid of your flashlight - you'll save space for more useful stuff (candy bars, apples, or keys). As a child, always search all the cabinets and wardrobes - during such actions, focus on listening, as opening a cupboard with a key is signalized by a characteristic sound. Stay close to your allies and have a throwable ready (something light, such as an apple or a can) Remember that you need to collect keys which match the color of locks found in the basement (as shown below).

The colors of the keys must match the locks on the doors - avoid gathering every key you find!

As a neighbor, try to look for players who are alone, focus on surprise attacks and use disguises, (the default key is T). You have access to places that are not initially accessible to the enemy (places behind bars - to get through them, the children need to go around) You can activate them using the clocks on the walls (as shown on the picture below).

The neighbor can use the clocks on the walls to access locations inavailable to the children.

Remember that once caught, children that are thrown in the dungeon can not return to the game, so with each subsequent child the game should be easier. Use neighbor skills often (you can set traps or throw a smoke bomb). The game ends when the neighbor manages to catch all the kids, or when the kids open the door to the basement.

How to unlock neighbor skins?

To unlock the skin for the neighbor (Clown), add the game to the wishlist. Remember that your Steam profile needs to be public - if it is private, you may not get the skin!

When you decide not to wear the skin, you can still choose it - you may not be able to use the skin, but its active and passive abilties are unlocked - you can use them as a "standard" neighbor.
