After some research, I found it’s actually an abstract prequel to a crowd-funded survival horror experience that blew up mainly from Let's Plays and streamers coupled with its seemingly kid-friendly look.
Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek is a one-trick pony that had a game built around the premise of drawing a reaction out of the player via jump scares, which it does very well.
If the levels and puzzles were more focused and honed in, there could be a logical and interesting foundation for experiential dread and tension, but it still the game you must try.
