Released in 2003 by JoWooD Productions Software for PC, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube, Neighbours from Hell is a strategy-adventure game centered on a man named Woody whose life is upended by his insufferable neighbor, Mr. Rottweiler. The premise frames Woody's revenge as a television show, with players sneaking through Mr. Rottweiler's home to set up pranks and traps — sawing chair legs, placing banana peels or soap on the floor, tampering with household appliances, and defacing paintings among the available mischief. The goal is to execute these schemes without being caught, generating chaos that raises the show's ratings and earns in-game awards. Progression depends on careful observation of the neighbor's routines and precise timing, blending light puzzle-solving with slapstick humor throughout its stages.
Woody is an average man who has a happy life, until his neighbor Mr. Rottweiler, makes his life miserable. Woody decides to take full revenge on Mr. Rottweiler. In the game Neighbors from Hell, the player creeps around the neighbour’s house performing tricks upon the unsuspecting resident. The player is the star of a new TV show with the same name, with cameras that track every move as the player sets traps such as sawing the chair, banana peels/soap on the floor, smeared paintings and messing with home equipment. The game's objectives are to create disarray, increase ratings, and win awards. Obstacles in the game include the watchful neighbour himself, also - his guard dog, and a parrot called Chilli, both of whom will try to alert the Neighbour of Woody's presence.
