Hello Neighbor: Nicky's Diaries is a first-person stealth horror puzzle game. It's a prequel story to the original Hello Neighbor game. You can play it on mobile devices (iOS and Android) through the App Store and Google Play. It's also available on PC via Steam and on Nintendo Switch. The game is free to download on mobile. On mobile, it has ads and offers in-app purchases, like removing ads for a few dollars. On PC and Switch, you pay a one-time price, usually around $5-$10.

You play as Nicky Roth, a kid trying to sneak into his creepy neighbor's house to solve a mystery. The gameplay is all about sneaking, hiding, and solving puzzles. You have to watch the neighbor's patterns, avoid making noise, and use items you find to unlock new areas. The best part is the tense cat-and-mouse feeling. My favorite part as a player is figuring out the house's secrets. The layout changes, and you discover hidden rooms and story clues. It feels great when a tricky puzzle finally clicks.

Compared to the main Hello Neighbor game, Nicky's Diaries is shorter and more story-focused. It's less about complex AI and more about a linear narrative. If you liked games like Hello Neighbor or the sneaking in Granny, you might enjoy this. I recommend it if you want a spooky, puzzle-focused story that you can finish in a few sittings. It's a good entry point into the weird world of Hello Neighbor.
