Did you know that “Schadenfreude” is a German word defined as the concept of finding joy in someone else’s misfortune? It is also the main idea on which Neighbours back From Hell is built. A whole TV show based on playing increasingly outrageous pranks on your grumpy neighbor to keep the audience entertained and viewership numbers high. It’s good to be bad in this early 2000s trash TV-inspired slapstick extravaganza! As Woody, the vengeful star protagonist, you will prank your way through Seasons 1 and 2 of this fictitious, but aptly named TV show. Take the mischief from your nasty neighbor’s flat all the way to China, India, and Mexico where you will make sure his holiday is a living hell. While you’re at it, why limit your antics to your neighbor when you can involve his mother and fellow travelers? Whatever you decide to do, your trusty camera crew will be right there to catch all the action! Let your crooked creativity flow freely and watch the neighbor rage in desperation. Just be mindful not to get caught by him or his companions, or they will whoop you good and your TV show will be taken off the air! If you perform well by creating chaos in the neighbor’s life, ratings will increase, and you could win prestigious awards! Neighbours From Hell 1 & 2 Remastered in one package: 28 episodes set in the neighbor’s home, on a cruise liner, and in several different holiday locations around the world! Key Features: - All graphics newly rendered in Full HD - Framerate of all animations doubled for a smoother experience - Use stealth, skill, and style to perform the perfect ambush - Easy to use interface and controls - Superb cartoon-style graphics - Big band soundtrack - Full controller support

The neural model OBEN AI VESPER is dying. An interference called NOISE ran through its layers and crossed the wires — wherever they overlap, the model loses memory. You are the datacenter operator. Drag connectors between sockets and route the cables so none of them cross. Moves are limited. Run out and you overload. • One mechanic you understand in five seconds and keep playing for a month • Endless generated links, difficulty labelled before you start • Fourteen field elements: jammed nodes, corrosion, anchors, welded pairs, ghost wires, unstable nodes on a countdown • A story about a machine remembering itself piece by piece • Everything in the shop is earnable: three daily goals, streaks, hard links • One-handed, works offline Nine languages. A dark theme that doesn't burn your eyes at 4 a.m.
