What Makes Dark Riddle: Scary Neighbor Stand Out
Neighbors can sometimes create problems more serious than noise at the wrong time of the day. In this game you have to face an unusual neighbor, whose home is full of chilling secrets. Get into his house unnoticed, bypassing all the traps and video cameras, and get to the truth that can shock you!
The main character in this interactive thriller is yourself, thanks to a realistic camera from the first person perspective. Moving to a new home, you discover some oddities in the behavior of your unsociable neighbor from the house across the street. He never leaves his home, from which strange and unsettling sounds can be heard, like cries. And one dark night a neighbor drags out of his house a bag with something that resembles a human body. It becomes clear that something suspicious is going on. You can not stay away – you need to get into the neighbor's house and find out what's happening inside! However, this will not be so easy to do! Each corner of his yard is adorned with a movable video camera, and all doors and windows are securely locked. And the neighbor himself is a rather dangerous person who will stop at nothing, just to hide all his dark deeds. If he discovers you, you are unlikely to be able to leave his house alive! Stay unnoticed, use your own ingenuity and uncover a terrible secret!
Features:
Advanced camera system from the first person perspective, allowing you to move around freely and look without any delay!
Finding and using useful items. Find a flashlight, pimples, keys, gas cans and much more – all this will come in handy in the neighbor's house!
Constantly watch your back – the neighbor can lie in wait for you anywhere!
In a critical situation, you can try to escape and take shelter in your own home – the horrendous neighbor will not be able to get through to catch you!
Your goal is the basement of the neighbor’s house. The key to unraveling all the terrible secrets is somewhere there!
A stunning soundtrack, the sinister melodies – all of it perfectly convey the atmosphere of a mystical thriller!
Will you be able to get to the bottom of the truth, or will you become another victim of an ominous neighbor?
This Entertainment game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
We like this a lot but add a update were u can save.
We played it on ghost mode never beat it we then played on normal it might be ok but classic we will vote on it.
A year or two ago we downloaded this game expecting it to be bad and an off brand version of hello neighbor. It turns out it is its own game with its own things to offer So we really appreciate actual work put into this game. Every one in a while we redownload the game to see if there has been any new levels or updates added and we are never disappointed. We also really appreciate That the new update has an actual story line, that makes the game overall better and you get a better understanding of whats actually going on. We see that there has also been a 2nd game out so we will check that out too! Overall great game NOT a cheap rip off.
So we love this game. But its says an error has been detected please re enter the game and we did like 400 times so pls fix your game! Sincerely AQ thats our enishles.
One person wrote a review about how the neighbor ends up taking your life. Ive seen several ads that come up with inappropriate content of taking other peoples lives. This should not be available for four–year-olds. Change the content age advisory to nine year old or higher and maybe this will be acceptable.
We like the game and used to play it a lot we got to say the new version seems like a lot of those game where they have skins and a whole bunch of stuff but the old version was really fun and we would like if they had a mode where you could play the old version of the game.
Ive played this game before and beat it but its been a while and we decided to re download it. And we did forget where everything was so we had a little trouble. But its still just as amazing since the last time we played it. When we found out level 3 came out we were excited. But those power cells or whatever where hard to find. Amazing game. Thank you for making this.
This game is nothing more than a hustle. They have it promoted by kids on YouTube who get free items and they create kids who constantly need to pay to play. Also guns for 4 year olds is a bit irresponsible.
Its hard we keep dying you should add ghost mode.
Insane mode the neighbor goes like 100 mph.
This game was awesome! We expected it to be a crappy knockoff of hello neighbor, but really it was WAAAAY better than hello neighbor. It was really entertaining and we loved all the different levels. Best game ever.
This game has five stars because the neighbor is so dumb and its not scary at all its just funny.
Hi so we just got this game a month ago and we think Im obsessed with it. But there should be a lot of new skins. The neighbors house is fun. We dont think there is no bugs. Developer please respond as soon as you can.
We dont understand why this game is deemed appropriate for such a young age. The concept of sneaking around and breaking in to homes is not something a child should think is ok. We dont have a problem with the game itself but we totally disagree with the age range. Just because a four-year-old can play it doesnt mean he/she should play it.
Love it but we wish we could play more.
This is a better version of the classic one the Classic one as no animations and this one has animations keep updating this good game.
The game worked at first but after a week when we open it up then we get an error message about an object reference not being set to an instance of an object and then the game shuts down.
We like the game a lot we like the frog on the sewers but we want a chapter 4 right now but we love the game so much keep it up with the great work we like the new gun Apple thing but we want a update right now we like the game so much though.
Hay its buggy on iOS just saying its a fun game though.
We beat this entire game in ONE DAY! Make harder once u get past the first level.
Hi our name is Emma and our brothers name is Beckham our brothers 5yr and we,m 8 yr.we love this game! Our brother loves it to.this game isnt, that scary. When your captured he points at you. And also on the 1st level theres a man with apples behind the town. And also theres a police. You have to through something at him so he can arrest the neighbor. Pls follow us on Tiktok our tiktok channel is called @reynoldsfam alright bye.
We played this game and it was better than we expected, but now it always says that we have to re-enter the game every time we launch it. We thought we had to update it, but the game was up to date, so we couldnt play any more of this game. Please fix this bug.
This game has a down side but, at the end it makes you think you can break into someones house and they can get in big trouble for that. We personally think this game should be 9+ because it scared us about the man trying to get us.
Dark riddle is a great game. We love it. We almost beat the game once! But yesterday we opened the game and it said that an error was detected and it says to re-enter the game. We did but the same thing kept happening so we didnt re-enter the game and it didnt let us play. Developers we would very much appreciate if you would help us with our problem. Please get back to us.( dont mind the username we were 7).
Im confused on how to enter our own house.
This game is fun and is obviously a knockoff of hello neighbor. The graphics are not good and the worst part is loads and loads of adds every time your caught and add, WHAT IS THIS GAME in hello neighbor free version, NOT A SINGLE ADD so yeahh.
We never expected this game to be better but when we played it was THE BEST! Please add more levels! And some dark in the basement. BEST GAME EVER.
We loved it and its not scary like the old version. We now get why its for 4 year olds but in the alien station thing the music is still kind of scary but we didnt finish chapter 3 but we love it. When we see the neighbor come out of his house we see him blinking and it just looks so cute! We love this update.
Whenever we try to play the game it showed us a picture and thats all it does.
Im not a fan of scary things because it gives us nightmares so please make it less scary cause our sister had this game she was playing in the evening and at night she was crying so please make it less scary.
Ok it freaks us out when we die it gets black so please change that youll just tp to base and please let us go in other houses because Im scared we cant get in the nebers house.
Ok so we got the game and it was really really good but when we got to stage three we found all but one of the power sources 17/18 to be exact and at first we wasn't mad but now its been three days of us trying to find this last one and looking up YouTube videos we saw it today at the top of the water fall so we turned the switch hoping it would just fall down to the bottem. Well it didnt it straight up disappeared. Honestly this was a disappointment if you can fix this game we would love to continue further, but for now Im deleting it because we can not process any further.
Im stuck on level 3 when we switch control on fountain it said re enter the game like restarting the game Im fine on WiFi. Please fix the game so we can play it.
This game is so good when we were little we said this game was not that good cuz we couldnt finish it but now we did it and its soo fun.
It was good but now its TRASH.
We have tried every single door and we put the right key into it but it dont notWhooping every single time we tried does not open like why Ive tried every single key with the right door but the key back but the door that Im trying to get into is the one in behind it it has the golden key room OK we need to go on the roof to open it but Ive got to do it like many times before and Ive tried to access that room no it does not let us in so yeah.
We loved the old version better and we are not talking about the :classic one we are talking about the really old version :( 1 star.
Al principio us aburri pero despus que lo empese a jugar seguido us empeso a gustar.
We love this game but we want to go back to version 4.0.0 pls we want it.
Hello developers, we have been playing this game for a while now and we just have one question about it. In the alien-esc basement, we cannot get the battery out of the waterfall. It doesnt come out when we try to pick it up and we see no way to get it. We would love some help if you can give some! Thanks.
Its been a while since Ive played this so we decided to redownload it.. Horrible mistake. We loved this game and gave it 5 stars. After a while we got bored of it and deleted it. We were bored so we got it back. The first think we noticed is you put a border at the walls. We didnt mind that because we could see how that could make the game easier.. But it was still annoying. Not to mention how you need to pay MONEY for items. It used to be you could collect apples to buy items. Packs and apple carts???? Seriously???? This game was better before. We just wish you didnt make people have to PAY for their apples.. Seriously. We thought this game was better than this.
The keys are missing idk why in version 5.0.6.
There is way too many ads, but the game is good but every time your caught an ad shows up it is annoying.
It is the worst game ever not even scary.
It used to be so good but then skins became $20 which makes no sense but we wont buy them anyway but what makes us so mad is how you need wifi or you wont get a map and its really annoying Im going to delete this because our wifi keeps disconnecting and now we have to restart it every 5 minutes.
So we played the game it was sooooo much fun and we beat hard easy and ghost we were on to insane but then!! Our game glitched we could not play the game we were so sad all it did was give us a black screen or just kick us out :( we were doing so well… Anyways game was fun keep up the good work.
We will be honest with you we really like the game but why dont you let us say that girl that was in that thing and let us escape on our own that doesnt seem fair and we would like to put up that wet hand and snakes the next part of the game shouldve been out but anyway we really love the game keep up the awesome work.
Im going to be honest, we were not expecting much of this game. Our initial thoughts were that it would be a crappy knock off of Hello Neighbor. We were pleasantly surprised with how much fun it was! In the first level, we were a bit confused because in order to sneak into the room with monitors, you had to either short circuit the lock with the shocker or use the silver key card. One time, we shot the neighbor and he dropped the key card. All the other times he did not. However, we loved the lay out of the house and how there were several other enemies. The basement was very cool, and easy for us because the neighbor was having a hard time getting past the boxes to get through the door! The alien level was great- however, we were curious about the girl in the other capsule thing. When we interacted with it, it told us it was locked, and we could not find a key or switch to open it and see if she could be an ally or something. Overall, we throughly enjoyed this game and greatly appreciate the thought put into the app and that it is free :).
We noticed that when you place an item down and then get caught, it disappears! Can you fix this bug.
