From Next Door

About

From Next Door is a brief mystery-horror game that puts you in the shoes of Namie, a woman who inherits a suspiciously affordable house. The premise hinges on uncovering secrets through exploration and choice. You’ll navigate creaky hallways, investigate cryptic clues, and piece together why the previous tenant fled abruptly. The gameplay leans into atmospheric tension over jump scares, with a focus on figuring out the house’s dark history and the strange property next door. The game’s eerie tone draws clear influence from Junji Ito’s surreal horror and the psychological unease of Silent Hill. While short, clocking in under two hours, it packs a memorable punch with its minimalist art style and unsettling narrative twists. Developed for the 2016 Pixel Horror Jam, it’s a tight package of low-budget spookiness that fans of indie horror might appreciate. The locked room on the second floor holds answers, but figuring them out requires patience and a willingness to dwell in the uncomfortable.
