tribal talon
#

I’m speaking the truth

blazing rapids
#

theres lore in this game wtf

oblique drum
#

(there always was)

blazing rapids
#

true

#

game isnt even like a horror game anymore

oblique drum
#

hn2 is gonna be a bit more violent tho but yeah not rlly horror

blazing rapids
#

when you get caught by the neighbour it isnt even scary all he does is grab you

#

it doesnt turn around the camera that fast so you know its coming

daring yacht
#

they made it faster

blazing rapids
#

#

Guys, it's just a theory, but do you think the one in the neighbor's basement is aaron?

drowsy void
#

nothing, just aaron is the kid in theodor’s basement?

jaunty mortar
#

Aaron might be at the museum

#

Like in the attic

ripe berry
#

But before that Aaron was in the Basement

jaunty mortar
#

Yea

ripe berry
drowsy void
ripe berry
jaunty mortar
#

Confirms he was in the basement?

ripe berry
jaunty mortar
#

Yea

#

Because the police would of found him

ripe berry
drowsy void
ripe berry
#

Sure, Mr.Peterson thought Aaron was a curse

#

But still Aaron's family

#

and after loosing his Wife and Daughter

#

Mr.Peterson didn't want to loose another family member

drowsy void
#

aaron is dead?

ripe berry
#

Unconfirmed

#

It's implied Aaron was the one who burned down Mr.Peterson's house

#

Meaning Aaron could've potentially died in that fire

drowsy void
#

hmm

#

you can tell me more about hello neighbor lore in my private?

silver vine
#

the neighbor catches you in sonic speed

viscid portal
drowsy void
#

so he is a adult?

tribal talon
#

We really don't know what happens to him after HN2

#

I think Quentin prob helped Aaron escape the attic

#

I also think Aaron left Raven Brooks

wicked heath
drowsy void
#

but in HN1 Nicky was an adult

wicked heath
#

yes

#

but that is 20 years later

wicked heath
drowsy void
#

aah

wicked heath
#

wait hold up. @drowsy void why do i have you in my friend list

drowsy void
#

idk, you just asked me to add

solid dew

#

Lore talking lore talking lore talking lore talking

#

Even more lore talking

#

Lore talking

#

Lots of lore talking

tribal talon
hearty spire
#

all the lore

#

hint the neighbor kills

tribal talon
#

could ike geroshwitz be quentin

#

No

#

Ike's dead

tribal talon
#

@tribal talon yes but timeloops are a thing

#

and maybe they changed something

#

@silver vine yo can you help me?

#

@tribal talon i mean they look almost identical

#

and his full name is ike quentin cornelius geroshwitz

tribal talon
#

ok then look at the card you see in hello guest

#

Old design

#

the hello guest quentin just has different clothes

#

@tribal talon or maybe they changed the lore again like they did in hello neighbor 1

tribal talon
#

because nicky was orignaly supposed to be the neighbor son

#

@tribal talon and the prototype quentin looks more like ike so it makes sense that they changed the lore

oblique drum
solid dew
#

quentin was never planned to be ike but ike was meant to be quentin before they changed quentin's character

#

ike is meant to be the old hg quentin
norman is meant to be the new hn2 quentin

#

however they aren't really the same in the game universe because the games hate book lore !

tribal talon
#

ok then my theory that the prototype quentin is ike was right

#

No

#

the prototype one

solid dew
#

no it wasn;t

#

prototype quentin is just hg quentin

#

book writers tried to tie hg quentin to ike
it was never like that in the games though

#

in the games he's always just been quentin

tribal talon
#

kinda werid

ripe berry
#

Kinda like how the Guest isn't a Forest Protector

tribal talon
#

mr petoerson is an enmy of the forest protectors

ripe berry
#

Yes

solid dew
ripe berry
solid dew
#

if they were meant to be then the book writers must have really been left in the dark in terms of the story

#

because the guest is the same in hg as he is in hn2

#

and gn2 and reset day

ripe berry
#

Maybe they saw some early concept art of the Guest and, not knowing he was meant to be Mr.Peterson at the time, invented the Forest Protectors

solid dew
#

that's just weird
why would the book writers have almost no communication with the devs about what these things were

ripe berry
#

When was the listing for Bad Blood first seen again?, I forgot but I also need to know so I can make a explanation here

tribal talon
#

Yesterday

ripe berry
solid dew
#

hgp was at the start of 2019

#

bad blood was at least released at the start of 2020

#

which means it was just after the den

ripe berry
tribal talon
#

Omg den..

solid dew
#

it was released on december 26th 2019 or something like that

#

1 month after den..

ripe berry
#

It'd take a few months for them to write the book, so Book 4 was started before the Den was invented, but after HGP

tribal talon
#

Why do you have 24 in your name?

ripe berry
solid dew
#

that's some very quick book writing

#

i feel like it'd take a bit longer but i don't know anything about making books

tribal talon
#

does anybody know when the next book will releas

#

e

solid dew
#

no

tribal talon
#

No one knows

ripe berry
tribal talon
#

July..

ripe berry
tribal talon
#

Why

ripe berry
#

I dunno, just don't wanna say it again

tribal talon
#

Why

ripe berry
#

Anyways

solid dew
#

he's 24 years old

ripe berry
#

Anyways lore

#

Do you think the odd trapdoor in HG is connected to the tunnels the Forest Protectors use

#

Or are those meant to be seperate

solid dew
#

i don't think so

tribal talon
ripe berry
#

I mean we don't know much about what the Trapdoors in HG were meant to be so it could go either way

#

All we have for the HG trapdoors is one found in HGA1 and one in a piece of concept art

#

Also heard about one in HN2A1 but I can't find it

tribal talon
#

There's so many things from 2020 HN2 we'll never find the answer to😔

ripe berry
#

Yeah

#

Like HG Chapter 3

tribal talon
#

@tribal talon yes kinda sad it was so mysterios and cool and had this cool artstyle and atmosphere but then they changed the concept

#

Ye

#

@tribal talon it dint look that clean like it does now

#

and i liked the old cursor more

tribal talon
#

yes

#

but i donnt understand why they changed the artstyle

tribal talon
#

the artstyle was at its peek in alpha hello guest and hello neighbor alpha 2

tribal talon
#

(Dirty as in it had a lot of dirt btw)

#

maybe the artstyle will change at the end of the game

#

Nah

#

because alpha 1 will still be a part of the game its confirmed and it looks like in the traier

tribal talon
#

and i think the game will get darker from chapter to chapzer

#

but the new artstyle is nice too

#

Ye

#

But I like the vibe the old artstyle had

#

2020 HN2 was pretty mysterious

#

And I liked that

#

me too

tribal talon
#

Too bad they changed the artstyle and the story got rewritten by new writers

#

ok do you think beatrix will be playable in hn 2 because shes still in the gamefiles

tribal talon
ripe berry
#

||(For context they did a oopsie and left pretty much the entire game in the Demo's files, Beatrix was not in there)||

oblique drum
tribal talon
#

@oblique drum

tribal talon
silver vine
ripe berry
#

Let's not forgor that the Ike is dead

tribal talon
#

i have a question about the guest is he a supernatural creature that possesed the neighbor or is he just a custom

#

i know the books are canon but idk if the graphic novels are

tribal talon
#

ok that means he is a supernatural being

#

?

#

@wild ore or just a custom

wild ore
#

both from the looks of it

ripe berry
#

||the guest is a metaphor for loss or something just like how the thing from hn1 is a representation of fear however unlike the thing in hn1 the guest in hn2 is a real entity||

#
  • Randomuser, 2022
tribal talon
#

that kinda destroys the realism of the games like the weather maschine and the timeloopes

ripe berry

(event in GN1)

#

coulndt the beginning of the beta when the guest catches quentin and glows be a timeloop

strange lance
#

Guys I have new lore, after exploring the clubhouse in Hello Engineer very much, I can confidently say...Lucy yi DIED in the park

#

😱

lyric zephyr
#

And not lore relevant

wild ore
tribal talon
#

@strange lance we knew that before

ripe berry
#

(He had no known lore importance other then being missing)

wild ore
#

maybe after Nicky failed he tried stopping it himself

tribal talon
#

@wild ore and is bassicly a quentin copy

lyric zephyr
#

Had a lot of good questions answered

wild ore
strange lance
#

And they did that in HE

lyric zephyr
#

They focus so much on Lucy Yi’s death but ignore the 5 other cases of Ted’s rides killing kids

daring yacht
lyric zephyr
#

We all know Lucy Yi but there were also
The 4 people who drowned in a water log ride he designed in the Germany park, and Joe from Bosco Bay being launched from his seat while testing a ride bc Ted made the turn too sharp

urban fulcrum
lyric zephyr
#

He’ll just, be in the backrooms ig

#

Not much he can do

urban fulcrum

#

In HN2 guest and Ted are seen as separate entites, in Gn2 guest posseses Ted at the end so now they are one

#

There you go

wicked heath
silver vine
#

its exactly 00:00 for me

wicked heath
#

unlike in hn2 where he keeps an attic locked with possibly his son

urban fulcrum
wicked heath
silver vine
#

where else would Aaron be

wicked heath
#

no i just hoped if im wrong about this you wont tell me

silver vine
#

you are right tho

wicked heath
#

oh

#

great

strange lance
#

look at all the rich lore

urban fulcrum
#

its just a theory

#

ok

silver vine
urban fulcrum
#

he

wicked heath
silver vine
wicked heath
#

i mean, isnt this guys only purpose is to protect his family?

silver vine
#

yes

wicked heath
#

if he still has a son alive, he wouldnt need to do anything else

urban fulcrum
#

he got crushed by the museum calipering

#

Arron

wicked heath
#

lmao

wicked heath
strange lance
#

I wonder if HE's lore will actually lead to anything, like the sentient mannequins, Ted trying to bring back his family/other people. The time travel pits in the park in HE was explained in Reset Days o that's good

wicked heath
tribal talon
#

It leads to Hello Neighbor 9999

urban fulcrum
wicked heath
urban fulcrum
wicked heath
#

baseless theory then

urban fulcrum
#

ok

#

ok

wicked heath
#

no need to argue with smth like that

tribal talon

I still hate the Neighbor

trying to flood the town

tribal talon
#

Ted is evil cuz he's a jerk

wicked heath
#

what does it have to do with aaron

urban fulcrum
#

make mayak happen

urban fulcrum
wicked heath
#

its literally Ted, not aaron

tribal talon
#

The Neighbor is a weird Neighbor nowadays

wicked heath
#

wait so you are telling me this guy is aaron? Man youve gone insane

urban fulcrum
#

can you get it

silver vine
#

he wants to get revenge on the town, cuz the town literally made him lose everything he had

ripe berry
#

Oh god half the messages are gone

tribal talon
#

can somebody ban me

#

t actually send something and stop typing just to stop immedaly after

ripe berry
tribal talon
#

im bored

wicked heath
#

i am no longer gone since the i gtg message is gone too

#

so lore

wicked heath
#

literally did not have to click the thing to see

#

you arent gonna troll a lot of ppl with that

ripe berry
#

anyways what was Arrquentin going to say

wicked heath
tribal talon
#

is the neighbor stilll alive in hn 1

silver vine
#

yes

young kayak
tribal talon
#

uhm

ripe berry
strange lance
#

Ted's doing time travel stuff in the ground

silver vine
strange lance
#

sure

ripe berry
#

If either Ted isn't dead when he gets possessed or GN2 is after 2017 then no

silver vine
#

I highly doubt the neighbor actually drowned and died in GN2

#

he was prob knocked unconcious

strange lance
#

me when I'm being chocked underwater as I'm trying to breathe but only lots of water comes in my lungs (I just go sleepy)

ripe berry
#

true

strange lance
#

time travel pits

ripe berry
#

Ted dies because the water doesn't leave his lungs (Guest doesn't need to breathe) and no one is able to get it out (Peterson goes missing during the fire)

silver vine
#

they cant just kill off the titular character in a not a well known book

silver vine
strange lance
#

this is also written right beside it, which is basically the formula for time travel

ripe berry
ripe berry
silver vine
#

I doubt hes completely gone

tribal talon
#

will we even see a guest transformation in hn2

#

,

strange lance
#

he's also using the mannequins for the experiments, that's why there's a unbelievable amount of them everywhere

tribal talon
strange lance
#

he is

#

you can see that in his secret office

ripe berry
#

Alpha Lore sneaking it's way into the final lore:

young kayak
#

Ted becoming the inventor of time travel shiblaugh
but it would be shocking

ripe berry
#

I mean...

#

Aren't time loops technically time travel

#

and if you have the ring things...

tribal talon
ripe berry
#

If he could go to the Past...

#

He could prevent Diane and Mya's deaths

#

But he gave up on that idea

strange lance
#

I don't remember where but there was a chalk drawing by Ted of 1 tall figure and 2 smaller ones with the time travel formulas around it

#

so yeah he wants to go back and save them

ripe berry
#

(The ...'s are because there's more to the quote that I cut out)

tribal talon
#

nein

ripe berry
#

So that explains why Ted is testing Time Travel

#

and Timeloops

strange lance
#

he was getting close

ripe berry
#

He was THIS close

strange lance
#

but I think if he did succeed the situation would probably get worse

ripe berry
#

but he gave up right at the end

strange lance
#

the entirety of RB could be consumed by the pits

ripe berry
strange lance
#

I mean they're still there in Reset day so

#

but only in the park

ripe berry
# ripe berry The Timeline would corrupt

Wait... prehaps why Ted gave up is that he did try... and that is why in HNHS Diane dies in April and Mya dies in May but in the books they both die in August

#

He tried to change the past... to save his family... but you can't can you?... they were doomed to die no matter what he did... all he could do now is build a new future...

#

This would also explain the 1996-1997 debate for Act 1

tribal talon
#

I don't think it's that cool

#

That's a cool theory but it prob isn't true

ripe berry
strange lance
#

when did the Aaron trilogy take place, like what year/years

#

this is important I must know

ripe berry
ripe berry
strange lance
#

and Lucy died in those books right

ripe berry
#

Book 6

#

that is the book she dies in

tribal talon
#

does anybody now in which country raven brooks is

ripe berry
strange lance
#

Lucy has Tamagotchi, these were released in..1996 of November..

strange lance
#

how does she have one 🤨

ripe berry
ripe berry
#

For all we know it could belong to Maritza or smth

#

Also you can't judge Tech in HN by when it was made

#

I mean

strange lance
#

That is her memorial, it has her bracelet and everything.

ripe berry
#

Technology is weird in HN

strange lance
#

true, Maritza has a Nintendo switch in the main menu

ripe berry
#

So what's preventing Raven Brooks from coming up with the idea that'd become a Tamagotchi Pre-Summer 1992

#

And the rest of the world wouldn't know because Raven brooks is seperated from the rest of the USA

#

With their own knock off apps

#

Phones (I-Fruit anyone?)

strange lance
#

Doesn't that only happen in Rest day though

#

that's when they're completely shut off

ripe berry
#

even the fricking 8-Ball

#

maybe even a fricking knock-off Nintendo Switch in 1996-1997

#

So yeah

fiery otter
ripe berry
#

Despite being the birth place of a famous theme park designer

fiery otter
ripe berry
#

and big corporations are giving their attention/have given their attention there

#

(Earthpro for instance)

strange lance
fiery otter
ripe berry
ripe berry
#

That is painful that they did that

ripe berry
#

and would explain the "Mayak will explain everything" without Mayak being in HN2

#

(||because it's not in the leaks||)

#

I think I could've fricking solved away what they meant oh so long ago by the whole "It's that way because of Mayak" thing

#

But maybe I'm just being stupid

#

I'll let you guys decide on that

strange lance
#

The Forest Protector cult people chose the coolest place to do rituals

ripe berry
#

They really did

ripe berry
strange lance
#

Lets talk about the lore of Ted being a freaking cheapskate, seats and attractions made out of freaking cardboard

#

surprisingly they have proper collision

ripe berry
strange lance
#

I wish they used this Ferris wheel in HN2

#

it's loads better

ripe berry
#

yeah

#

But maybe not make it carboard in HN2

strange lance
#

yeah

#

I mean it's not like you're supposed to even go to it

ripe berry
#

(I'm pretty sure it's copper in HN2)

strange lance
#

Ted is so cheap in HE, half of his rides are rotting wood and cardboard, and some games use toilet rolls as props

ripe berry
#

Who makes moles out of toliet paper

#

like why

#

(I meant toliet paper rolls)

daring yacht
#

he put so much effort into the park don't hate on him😡

unkempt iris
#

in the hello neighbor animated series full pilot, we learn the names of the detective (Zoe), the brave (Maritza) and the leader (Trinity), but does anyone else have canon names?

ripe berry
#

Detective is named Enzo

#

not Zoe

unkempt iris
#

rly?

#

hang on

ripe berry
#

Yes

#

They are characters in the books

unkempt iris

go to 4:52

ripe berry
# ripe berry They are characters in the books

(Where we also learn the HN1 Player Character is named Nicky, the Neighbor is named Theodore Peterson his wife is named Diane, Neighbor's son is named Aaron, and Neighbor's daughter is named Mya)

#

The Cops in HN2 are named D. Leslie (tall one) and Keith F. Newsoms Nielsen (the other one)

#

The Baker is named Gerda

#

The Guy with the Gun is named Mr. Otto

#

The HN2 Player Character is named Quentin

#

The Hello Guest Girl Player Character is named Beatrix

unkempt iris
#

idek those people

#

i meant the other kids

ripe berry
#

Oh

#

Inventor could maybe be named Jimmy

#

(if imdB is to be believed)

#

and the other characters (Scout and Bagger) currently have no official name

ripe berry
silent steppe
ripe berry
#

I mean either of them could POTENTIALLY be Bagger

#

but there's no confirmation on that

#

so Bagger could be someone else entirely

silent steppe
#

Okay

unkempt iris
#

i have evidence that the detective is named zoe

ripe berry
#

No

#

It's ENzo

strange flame
ripe berry
#

All the books call him Enzo

#

The GUIDEBOOK calls him Enzo

silent steppe
ripe berry
#

The other names are Brave and Leader

#

(Maritza and Trinity)

#

So who is "En..." if not Detective (Enzo)

fiery otter
#

what is the 'other location' that ted is looking for in his big crazy person bulletin board?

ripe berry
fiery otter
silent steppe
ripe berry
#

Bosco Bay and Ferhen Welt are outside of Raven Brooks

#

Prehaps it could be where the Museum is

#

*was

#

Or smth

fiery otter
#

I'm guessing Ted is looking for a location that he can hide in in case the police come

ripe berry
#

Maybe it's where the Den was

#

We gotta remember AS Pilot is from the HG days

#

So it could be the Den

silent steppe
#

Maybe

#

Hmm

ripe berry
#

Or Rumble on the Mill

#

or whatever else they were planning back then

silent steppe
#

Yknow that map of raven brooks? The one as a footnote on the game guide? Why is the map so different in HN2, has the town really changed that much?

ripe berry
#

yes

silent steppe
#

(Sorry if there’s an obvious answer to this question, I missed Hg)

ripe berry
#

But they DID keep a Barn and the Raven Brooks Banner near Friendly Court

silent steppe
#

Yeah

#

Wait I thought that was Channel 4 news

ripe berry
#

But yeah the Map of Raven Brooks is a odd thing

ripe berry
silent steppe
#

Oh wow

fiery otter
#

I wonder why they're always changing the map

ripe berry
#

It's Channel 4 News, but with the Banner as it's name

ripe berry
#

HN1 Map is different (slightly) from the SN Map

#

HG/HN1/HNHS map is different from the Guidebook Map

#

HN2A1 map is different from any of those

#

Same with HN2A1.5

#

Same with NeighborArea (Alpha 2)

#

Same with Beta

#

Same with Demo

#

||Same with FG||

#

Same with Hello Engineer

#

Same with AS

I was hoping for the Llama farm in HN2

Only important one I guess

There's a page where Ted has his arm wrapped around Aaron, but it looks awful

please show it

This one?

yes

god it's bad

and a HN 1 screenshot

Like why mix all those together

silent steppe

He is literally edited into all these photos what

ripe berry

#

but the Ted Drawing makes it bad

silent steppe
#

The same render

latent cosmos

#

Same render

latent cosmos

#

Also pretty sure on one of the early pages there is a "Newspaper" where they just loaded a animation from HN1 Alpha 1 then took a Screenshot

#

For the Cover image

silent steppe
#

Then the same photo

#

But for the news

ripe berry
silent steppe
#

Yep

ripe berry

The same render

lyric zephyr
#

Don’t forget that in the guidebook that the Neighbor’s “house layout”
Is a butchered version of the Prototype House layout with puzzles and rooms that DONT EXIST!

other then officially confirmed info they put into the Guidebook

Imma go do smth

Now post the house layout itself

It’s even
“Better”!

strange lance

I really liked the idea of the endless basement, with the cut off areas

#

made it creepy

lyric zephyr
# silent steppe

Love how they completely forgot the generator, and the window placement for the fake room, and the bathroom,

silent steppe
#

Hold up

#

Why is this only the second floor?

lyric zephyr
#

They didn’t even do a second floor

#

They took the first floor and put post it notes on it

#

And the first floor ain’t even right

#

How did they mess up so badly

silent steppe
#

Idk

#

There’s no guide for the first floor either

lyric zephyr
#

There was one before at one point

#

There’s
There’s no hidden room accessible by “ a few keys”, there is no second floor staircase to nowhere,

silent steppe
#

Also there are plot holes in the construction of these maps

fiery otter
#

isn't it funny that tinybuild put the prototype house layout in a book instead of giving it to the fans

lyric zephyr
#

No, because it isn’t even the right layout

#

Not even the correct prototype house layout

#

They removed most of the walls and added a couple to make giant rooms

#

The staircase isn’t even in the right place

silent steppe
fiery otter
#

I'd think that if Nicky got caught once in the basement then Ted would lock him up with Aaron immediately

silent steppe
#

Like, “Aaron, I know where you are, but I’m just gonna spend like an hour building this useless fake map”

I have a friend who got the guidebook right when it came out and I recall them sending me a pic of the first floor

#

The prototype layout but the walls are messed up, had labels for an elevator, a fake wall,

ripe berry
#

Give me a bit I think I have a image of the "First Floor Layout" on me

#

But if I don't then that's ok

how would it be that hard to recreate the actual game house layout

that would be a nightmare

Question:

#

Is secret neighbor canon?

fading widget
#

hm

#

i mean

#

i could be wrong but i don’t think so?

#

if i’m wrong please correct me

strange lance
#

Everything about SN is imagination, except for the lobby area and some skins

#

and also the ending area of the rocket event

fading widget
#

oooo okay

#

interesting

strange lance
#

Not to sure about the trophies you earn, they are in the lobby but the events clearly don't happen irl

lyric zephyr
#

I’d say the trophies aren’t canon

ripe berry
#

I treat the descriptions as canon but maybe not the actual trophies

#

(with the exception of the Rocket, MitH's Hat, and the Lucy Yi event ones)

#

So basically all of them are

#

except for the Mini Weather Station

#

It's not my fault I started imagining Enzo and Trinity chopping down a tree while kissing

#

It's coolwing's fault

#

(Not really)

urban fulcrum
tribal talon
#

Idk

#

Real questions

languid geyser
#

probably kissed after choping down the tree.

lyric zephyr
#

What do you mean early design, this is Enzo’s CURRENT design. These are all their current designs other than tweaking the eyes

ripe berry
#

The eye change is why I called it early

tribal talon
lyric zephyr
#

And somehow making Maritza’s eyes worse

#

Not getting the eye color right and removing the eyelashes

ripe berry
#

ye

languid geyser
#

does anyone know what the story of the hello neighbor novel is?

lyric zephyr
#

Which one

languid geyser
#

the one that features nicky

lyric zephyr
#

Oh so the first trilogy

languid geyser
#

yes

tribal talon
#

It's lorein' time

lyric zephyr
#

Basically Nicky is new to town, moved across multiple different towns w his parents bc they’re looking for stable jobs. He meets Aaron, they become quick friends, meets Enzo, Maritza, Trinity, etc.
Discovers the stigma around the Peterson family, investigates, hijinks and really dark moments ensue

#

End of Book 1 has Mya’s death and Aaron going “missing”

#

Gtg someone continue this

languid geyser
#

thx

urban fulcrum
lyric zephyr
#

They’re asking about the stories of the books

ripe berry

Not the timeline

Sleeping Dream

urban fulcrum

#

are any of these book be cannon to the story of the first game in anyway or is it not cannon? i am kinda hoping that it would be tho.

ripe berry
#

they asked for the Story of the Nicky Trilogy

ripe berry
languid geyser
#

thats good to hear

ripe berry
#

(They never denied the Guidebook being canon but it's too inaccurate for me to count it as canon)

urban fulcrum
#

idk what the full timeline is of the HN saga

#

like all of it

languid geyser
#

i mean i already know that hide and seek is before hello neighbor act 1 & 2

#

i was just confuse if the novels was cannon to the games.

ripe berry
#

Buried Secrets connects directly to Act 1

#

Heck it's ending is a retelling of Act 1

languid geyser
#

interesting

ripe berry
#

Waking Nightmare isn't that important

#

But then we get to Buried Secrets

#

So it's Nicky's 13th Birthday

#

His parents took him to a amusement park outside of town named Spree Land

urban fulcrum
ripe berry
languid geyser

#

After the ride Mr.Peterson puts a torn down missing poster to try (and partly succeeds with this first thing) to ruin Nicky's life

ripe berry
#

None of the others are

#

But Keith isn't officially introduced until the Prequel Aaron Trilogy

ripe berry
#

then Mr.Peterson continues to ruin Nicky's life

also ted was likely just doing things to make nicky seem as untrustworthy as possible so that nobody would believe him once he inevitably found out the truth

however book 1 and 3 had keith's name

wicked heath
#

"well then pretend its not obvious to all of us"

ripe berry
#

Welp must've forgot, been some time since I read the books

urban fulcrum
#

wonder when ottos name came from

wicked heath
#

heck nicky first thought they were dating

ripe berry
# ripe berry Yeah

Then eventually Nicky finds tapes Mya recorded and finds out a little too much surrounding Mya's death

#

I'm getting back on track with the explanation here

ripe berry
#

And that is where the book ends

solid dew
#

well it ends a little after the ending of act 1

tribal talon
#

What happens after?

solid dew
#

nicky finds aaron and a massive underground amusement park and then is trapped in the basement until act 2 of hn1

ripe berry
#

Yep

#

Welcome to Hello Neighbor lore

#

Decided to not make a event timeline since I may get some details wrong due to being awhile since I read some of the books

solid dew
#

simply reread them

#

they're not too long

tribal talon
#

The hello neighbor books sound boring

solid dew
#

if you think books are boring then yes

tribal talon
#

Reading pages of text walls sounds fun!

crystal scroll
#

I loved reading the HN books actually!

#

And I am not a big book lover by any means

urban fulcrum
solid dew
#

it's mostly because if you're interested in the story then you'll find reading about it more interesting

crystal scroll
#

Yeah

solid dew
#

because it sheds a lot of light on a lot of details

crystal scroll
#

It’s a book series based on the game series I love

#

So naturally I was drawn to it

urban fulcrum
#

cuz HN2 cant end there

tribal talon
solid dew
#

i do find myself rereading it but only for the details that i might otherwise miss
i don't think i'd ever find myself remembering that raven brooks had a town square or that gordon cleave used a luck device as a paperweight

#

yeah that theory doesn't make any sense by the way

urban fulcrum
crystal scroll
#

I don’t think I have reread any of the books

solid dew
crystal scroll
#

Could be something to do in 2023

solid dew
#

i recommend it
especially if you ever find yourself recreating raven brooks.

HN2 desperately needs a mod kit

Which I have not needed to do either of.

ripe berry

#

the only part i do like is the mix of the more rural style of raven brooks that you can see in some of nikita's photos in combination with the more modern suburban style

ripe berry
#

maybe also throw in a Mall Easter Egg bc that thing literally has not been removed in Months

#

Since December 2021 it's been in the game files

#

it's still there in the demo

#

But still

urban fulcrum

and make a custom like me

That would be copying.

ok

You don't gotta yell at him like it's the end of the world, just say like "He actually was named here btw" instead of " OMG you forgot a simple tiny detail from the books that's easy to forget I will KILL you!"

ok

sorry

I did get a little angry

@ripe berry Im sorry

Scary Lucy forgives you

Now it's this

Which is more bearable thank god

But the detail is kinda just gone

And it's not colored anymore

She just looks like one here for some reason

Does being a tom boy remove your eyelashes

neither Mya nor Lucy have eye lashes

so

strange lance

Being a tom boy doesn't make you look like a boy tho

You just, "dress" like one and "behave" like one

#

And then there's the original

#

Love how only Lucy's bracelet is visible now for some reason

who doesn't love pre SN maritza

Exactly

lyric zephyr

And Enzo was an athlete with a thing for video games! And not a scrawny photography club geek

I was really thrown off when I saw their SN models istg

#

I loved book 1 Mari

silent steppe
#

He looks like a vampire

lyric zephyr
#

I mean, Enzo would definitely be the same shade as his sister was in the pic

#

Since yknow, siblings

#

But nope, pastey white geek

silent steppe
#

Yeah and I acknowledge that genes and all, but I thought Mr. Esposito was white and their mother was Mari’s shade

lyric zephyr
#

I always thought the other way around

silent steppe
#

Oh wow

#

We never saw their parents so it could be either

lyric zephyr
#

Yeah

silver vine
lyric zephyr
#

Because they’d already changed his character by then

silver vine
#

(pardon the ping)

#

hmmmm

silver vine
lyric zephyr
#

But it tends to be the case because, shared genetics

silver vine
#

then explain my friends

#

Jaden and Alden

#

they are brothers born from the same womb

#

yet, Jaden looks like vannila ice cream and Alden looks like dark chocolate

lyric zephyr
#

🤷‍♂️ stylistic choice for the characters

silver vine
#

wdym

#

they are my real life friends

lyric zephyr
#

Doesn’t change the fact Enzo was an athlete with a tan, then changed to scrawny white nerd

lyric zephyr
#

I don’t know who your friends are lmao

silver vine
lyric zephyr
#

Missed that part woops

#

My mistake

silver vine
#

my point is, siblings arent always the same color

lyric zephyr
#

And surprise surprise, they have the same skin color now

#

So idk what the point was

silver vine
#

you said that siblings will always be the same color

#

and my point is, they arent

lyric zephyr
#

That’s fair

silent steppe
#

It is fair, but Mari was confirmed to have that skin in the Nicky trilogy, and now they’re… unlit cat lamps

silver vine
#

ye

#

its prob just one out of several retcons

silent steppe
#

I guess the point here is we loved pre-SN Maritza and now she’s not

silver vine
#

I didnt

silent steppe
#

Why not

#

(No judge, just asking)

silver vine
#

I prefer the current design more

hazy slate
#

old maritza was generic

silent steppe
#

New Mari is kinda generic too ngl

silver vine
#

I mean

#

I would say neither are generic

silent steppe
silver vine
#

neither designs are generic

#

imo

silent steppe
#

Oh

lyric zephyr
#

Maritza’s “Brave” design is good! Just
They aren’t really the original Maritza

#

They’re basically just 2 entirely different designs said to be the same character

silver vine
#

but you still have to keep in mind

#

Brave was always meant to be Maritza from the beginning

#

you always tend to forget that

lyric zephyr
#

They were intended to be! Just they got very many details wrong!

silver vine
#

or they intentionally retconned her design

versed yacht
lyric zephyr
silver vine
#

why?

lyric zephyr
#

There’s a word for it but I’d probably get in trouble w the mods

silver vine
#

they prob gave her light skin, cuz we already have dark skinned Trinity

silent steppe
#

I don’t intend for this to be an argument guys

silver vine
#

Im not

silver vine
#

it reads "Wayron Croobs Nebbar 4TV"

#

which translates to: "Raven Brooks Banner 4TV"

#

but the sign for some reason says WCB4TV

#

instead of WCN4TV

strange lance
#

Wayron Croobs Rimmor had such a nice ring to it I know they wanted book accuracy and whatever but still 😭

I prefer banner

I guess they could swap rimmor with nebbar and it'd be good

It's a program for like, small reporters I guess, and Quentin was a part of it, and judging by all the drawers and the labels I'm assuming he was assigned to RB

"heads up, Keith Newsom and his slick detective buddy are here"

#

this is from book 5

#

@solid dew

solid dew
#

there's no way i missed that every single time i read the book
i would have remembered if his name was mentioned outside of book 2

silver vine
#

ok, lemme show you the proof

silver vine
#

2nd page of chapter 9

solid dew
#

damn
that chapter must have been really uninteresting for me to completely not read it

silver vine
#

its impossible for it to be uninteresting

#

its the chapter where they excavate a nest and find a luck device

silver vine
solid dew
#

then i probably just didn't notice the name every time i read it
i remember every other part of that chapter

ripe berry
#

Um not to refer back to old messages, but apology accepted Lore Master

#

I actually forgot about Keith being named in the first 3 books, been some time since I've read them you know
