Hello Neighbor is a stealth horror game in which players sneak into their neighbor's house while avoiding the artificial intelligence controlled neighbor, Mr Peterson. First released in 2017, it gained a large audience through gameplay videos, streams and short-form edits, where its tense atmosphere translated well into reaction clips and comedy horror. Short sounds from the game are now reused online as shorthand for being watched, caught sneaking or discovering something hidden, which keeps this clip useful for creators who want instant recognition without explaining the joke.
