Neighbours back From Hell

Neighbours Back From Hell is the remastered combined release of the original Neighbours from Hell and its sequel — both early-2000s comedic adventure games built around the satisfaction of Schadenfreude. You play Woody, the vengeful star of a fictional TV show whose entire premise is playing increasingly outrageous pranks on a horrible neighbor. The audience loves it. The ratings demand more. Your trusty camera crew follows every step.

The gameplay loop covers 25 episodes across both games. Season 1 takes place primarily in the neighbor's home, where you set traps, sabotage routine activities, and creatively make his life worse without getting caught. Season 2 takes the show on the road, following the neighbor on a holiday cruise to China, India, Mexico and beyond — with his mother and various fellow travelers added to your target list for variety. The escalation is the joke.

Gameplay rewards stealth, skill and style. Get caught by the neighbor or his companions and you'll get a beating, and your TV show may be taken off the air entirely. Perform well — creating chaos that lands ratings spikes — and you'll win prestigious awards in the fictional industry the show competes in. The interface is easy to use, the controls are forgiving, and the cartoon-style graphics carry the slapstick tone exactly where it needs to go.

The remaster ships with newly rendered graphics in Full HD and doubled frame rates across all animations for a smoother experience. The original big-band soundtrack remains, perfectly fitting the show's specific 2000s-trash-TV aesthetic. For anyone who played either game on PC or console in the 2000s, this is the definitive package; for newcomers, it's a piece of comedic adventure design that has aged considerably better than the era's reputation might suggest.
