About the Game

Welcome to Dark Neighbors, a mischievously fun action game where you're one of the kids from the "Darkien Crew" on a mission to turn a picture-perfect suburban neighborhood into your personal splash zone. Armed with beautiful red water balloons and other cool items, you and your crew sneak through white-picket-fence-lined streets, dodging nosy neighbors, police, and meddling children as you soak every grumpy adult in sight.

Your main targets? The Angry Neighbors – the ones who yell if your bike touches their grass or if your music is “too loud.” Take aim, time your throws, and unleash watery chaos without getting caught. Each house has a nosey neighbor ready to hurt you for disturbing the peace.

Play solo or host an online game with friends in online co-op, unlock your special powerful move and become the legend of the cul-de-sac. Beautifully rendered in cartoonish suburban bliss, this game is a chaotic blend of stealth, strategy, and summer fun.

Suburbia will never be the same again. Ready, aim… SPLASH!
