What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $2.99, set in March 2026. 80 discounts in the 9 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was this month, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 36 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 73 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Amnesia: The Bunker ($24.99, scores 58) beats it on value, while it beats Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek ($29.99, scores 42).
20 of the 799 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2026 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 78 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 69 percent of the 3,025 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 8 hours; clearing it takes 18, which is 2.3 times the campaign.

What players say
good game with fredbear mods and stuff. get it while its on sale because thats when its the cheapest
I found myself disappointed with how this game turned out. Since I was a wee little lad I loved watching people play this game and yet, once I find myself playing this game, nothing but disappointment was there. Although the alpha's are janky and not as fleshed out, they are much better then the finalized product, if you think about playing this game, don't. Play the alpha's instead.

Hello Neighbor scores 50/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/521890/hello-neighborThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 17, price as of Sep 24.
