Secret Neighbor Steam has received a rather diminutive (and not at all unsettling) update!
Firstly, the emote wheel should now stop resetting itself every time you start it up, woo! In addition to that, on login Steam players should start to see a familiar "face". 🎭

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!
We also want to take this opportunity to say “THANK YOU!” to everyone that has supported us in various ways in the past year. We hope your holidays are safe, warm, and full of good food & plenty of games!
Werewolves howl Phantoms prowl Halloween's upon us now!
Grab your projectile weapons pumpkins! Our favorite holiday has come again to Raven Brooks and we are excited to announce the Secret Neighbor Paranormal Update is LIVE NOW on Steam! Check out the trailer below and lets dive in!
👻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!
