In fact, I found it on par with a game like The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners when it came to climbing and vaulting over objects. Traversal isn’t terrible in Search & Rescue. The sub-par offering of options extends to the gameplay as well. However, the ability to choose between smooth and snap turning is not here, nor is tunneling vision, torso-size adjustment, standing or sitting gameplay, and other simple options I would expect to see in any VR game at this point. You can choose your height, your dominant hand, and a couple other things. For one, there are barely any accessibility options in the game. VR NeighborĪs much as I can appreciate quite a few parts of the puzzle and hide-and-seek setup of Hello Neighbor VR: Search & Rescue, there’s a lot about its VR gameplay that leaves me cold. The stakes just kind of aren’t all that heavy after you realize getting caught is only a minor inconvenience. I actually kind of wish there were bigger stakes, such as losing access to a kid for a while or forcing the others to do something to break them out. Thankfully, if he catches a kid, you just switch to another kid and that one starts from their last hiding place. There isn’t much room to get away from him if he spots you.

It’s a neat setup, and made even more interesting by the fact that Mr. Just as well, you can find codes and puzzle answers around the house that you can then switch to another kid with access to the locks or obstacles they fit. Then, another kid can grab it and fit it into the locked door blocking the path of their other friend.

I like the multiple character aspect of Hello Neighbor VR: Search & Rescue. Then you can use the walkie-talkie to switch between them and open their own paths in different ways. As you explore the house, you’ll find you can open paths for the other kids. Another has a slingshot that can hit otherwise unreachable objects and make them available to her or another. One kid has a bat and can break stuff like pottery to get Peterson’s attention or discover hidden items. They are all separated inside the house by doors only Peterson can open.

Peterson’s house and save their friend, whom they believe he kidnapped. Not that it goes out of its way to tell you in the game, but Hello Neighbor VR: Search & Rescue has you playing the roles of five different children that are looking to get inside of their creepy neighbor Mr. However, being thrown immediately into the deep end, a bevy of wonky VR interaction, and a lack of must-have settings make Search & Rescue a hard sell on anyone but dedicated Hello Neighbor fans. Peterson as you puzzle your way through his equally strange house doesn’t sound all that bad, and in fact there are some pretty good ideas here. The idea of running from and dodging the creepy Mr. However, the series had yet to tap into VR until the all-new Hello Neighbor VR: Search & Rescue from publisher tinyBuild and Steel Wool Studios.
