Who Stole The Snow???
You may have noticed things look a little different around Raven Brooks this year. Is it just an unseasonably warm winter, that happens from time to time right? No! It appears there may be a nefarious plot at work here and the snow has gone missing. Not missing, stolen!
The only clue is a cryptic note with a strange symbol on the back. What could it mean? The sooner we track this person down, the sooner the snow will hopefully return to Raven Brooks in the New Year.
We hope you enjoy the 24 days of Guestmas! We’ve got a lot more coming your way in 2022, including our parity of content update and our Winter update pt.2 in the New Year!
🎮 New releases 💕 Big discounts 👀 Upcoming titles ➕ MORE!

👻The Neighbor is going Ghost!
There is a rumor going around town that a ghastly specter has been sighted near Mr. Peterson's house, eyewitnesses report it's arrival is heralded by flickering lights and glowing blue ectoplasm.
Introducing: The Ghost Neighbor! His abilities include a spectral ghost transformation capable of flight and phasing through walls, and an ultimate ability that can temporarily disable every light within close proximity. Direct light keeps this apparition from transforming out of ghost form, so your flashlights are now more important than ever when trying to stay out of his ghostly grasp!
🧟No costume? No problem!
October has flown by and before you know it you're 4 days out from Halloween without a costume, oh no! But not to worry, we've got you covered! A new Scary Neighbor werewolf skin, New Ghost Neighbor Genie skin and a shambling hoard of zombie skins for the Neighborhood Rescue Squad will scare you up at least 3rd place in any costume contest!
⚰️Halloween décor galore + more!
Of course all maps are decked out in their Halloween finest, and you'll find no shortage of jack-o'-lanterns carved with care. Players will also note that most walls now sport a light switch in game. If you suddenly find yourself in the dark with the Neighbor in Ghost form and need to keep him from changing back, make a run for the nearest light switch! Steam players will also be treated to some new LE offerings, plus a brand new LE only brawl mode - Racing - to really put your creative skills to the test!

Map #5 is here!
Take a trip outside the Neighborhood and explore the (in)famous abandoned Amusement Park in a brand new map! Can you uncover the mysteries of the now-defunct funfair from Mr. Peterson’s past, or will tragedy strike again? Remember, your foe will stop at nothing to keep you and your friends from discovering the truth!
With a largely open-air environment, upon entry you will note that our 5th map it is vastly different from previous maps in both looks and layout. It also will sport a 4th keycard door, so keep a sharp eye out! Aside from layout and location, this map sports a few other new features as well:
In a nod to the original Hello Neighbor (as well as a longstanding community request) tomato plants are making their debut on map #5! Snag one in passing and hurl it into the eyes of your attacker to thwart their advance! 🍅
Lost your flashlight or need a last minute powerup? New vending machines could give you an edge over your enemy when you need it most. 🧃
New Skins + Emotes!
Stop by the Shop to select a fresh fit with a roster of new skins! The circus may have shut its doors, but you’ll still see lions in the big top with The Neighbor’s new skin!

Earn and display your achievements in the brand new Trophy room - a new section available via the lobby. Currently, there are three interactable trophies - obtainable via completing easter eggs!
Overall ambiance update
Almost every source of light has been revamped, and you may find flashlights are now more important than ever, lest your foe sneak up on you in the darkness! It’s not just lighting that's gotten an upgrade though, as new partially interactable vegetation and particle systems now lend to the overall ambiance.
The Match End screen has also been updated to more accurately reflect the excitement of winning a match...or the despair of losing one.
