I’m sure they’re not gonna get rid of the brand new story they worked sooooo hard on…
They already said it's canon to Acts 1/2 and SN
They said it’s supposed to connect those events but
Anyone with half a brain can guess how they can connect
I’m Dying Inside Why They Do This
Basically making it canon to all the games
While also decanonizing those same games
Yep
Now The Story Feels Dumb To Me
AlexN said everything is canon so I got no fricking clue anymore
I think that was part of a joke
I know
“Everything is canon we’re all gonna die” or whatever
The Idea Was Nicky Trying To Find Out What Happened To His BestFriend Aaron
Just referencing it
Now it’s Nicky breaking in to try and prove a theory about people he doesn’t even know
Now Nicky is trying to prove Ted's a murderer because why the frick not
He doesn't even seem to really know the Petersons
Exactly
He doesn't say "Aaron" or "Mya" ONCE
Nobody in the friend group even know the Peterson family outside of saying Peterson is evil
But Did They Say Nicky Doesn’t Know Aaron Or Mya
Nobody says Aaron or Mya in the series
It’s implied. He thinks they’re dead, and he doesn’t name them once
And he seems to care more about breaking in than actually saving anyone
Well There’s Still Hope What If They Make A Episode Where They Question Nicky Why He Cares So Much Then He Tells Them He’s Doing It Cuz Aaron Was His Friend
But the thing is he doesn’t care. He doesn’t even want to break in to save anyone
That’s True
Nicky is going missing in Episode 4 so they have to hurry up
He wants to break in so he can have the satisfaction of being right on his theory of Ted being a murderer
From all statements this is the only episode this could happen
So They Just Made Nicky A Sore Loser
I Can’t Handle This, Why TinyBuild You Ruin The Best Character
Because they ruin everything HN they touch
True
But AS Isn’t Canon To The Full Timeline As That’s Different
You Fool!
Some Things I’m Guessing Would Be But Not All
Huh
AS IS Canon to the Full Timeline
Guys I have a lore question.
Why did they have to make the last 2 acts of the game a dream?
Yes.
AS is the full timeline now
Cuz That’s When Nicky Moves In And Falls Asleep And Gets Over PTSD
Ohh ok
Also, is there a HN2 Speedrun chat?
Nothing else matters! Watch our cartoon!
Everything else is no longer fully canon (Except Hello Neighbor 2)
Not Really The Books Are Still In It I’m Guessing It’s Mixed Between Game, AS And Mostly Books
Even HN2 isn’t fully canon to the AS
Since it’s set in 1996 and has different house layouts
Exactly
I’m Guessing Nicky Is Still Friends With Aaron, Aaron Goes Missing
Trinity Moves In
Gets Pulled Into It
Nicky Goes Missing
Rescue Squad Tries To Save Nicky
Here Making It Simpler
Tbh, I’m going with Nicky isnt friends with Aaron at all. He doesn’t even know the kids, just thinks they’re dead.
If anyone Ivan was probably friends with them, since he’s supposed to have a “secret connection” to the Petersons
Still That Wouldn’t Work Cuz HN1 Act 3,4 Are Canon So
That makes him panic when Peterson's mentioned
They never said Acts 3 and Finale are canon still, only Acts 1 and 2
Nope. It would work bc Nicky would meet Aaron in the basement
Ok Then I Guess Nicky Is Some Random Kid Who’s Committing Breaking And Entering
Still Though
Book 1 Still Canon In Full Timeline
They never said Hello Neighbor: Diaries was going to use the same clips it currently does when it comes out for real
It retcons every. Single. Thing.
For all we know it could just use 3D versions of AS Clips when it comes out
Imagine it straight up just plays clips from the AS
I Refuse To Believe Nicky Isn’t Friends With Aaron I REFUSE
Not 3D not drawn
Also even if Act 3 and Finale are still canon Nicky would meet Aaron within the Basement
Nicky may not be friends with Aaron at the time of what we have in AS
But after ending up in the Basement they could become friends
Ok But I Don’t Think Meeting Some Guy In A Underground Theme Park Koo-Koo Land Would Be Someone To Be Friends With
Who said it's still a Underground Theme Park
God Dang It WHY
That detail is only in the Non-canon Books
Don’t You Dare Say Non-Canon Say Semi-Canon
There's no such thing as Semi-Canon anymore for those
God Nothing Is Canon!!!!!
Semi-Canon is what the Games are
Books are clearly less canon then the games
The only thing less canon then Semi-Canon is Non-canon
I Bet The Peterson Isn’t His Canon Last Name Anymore
The Only Canon Person At This Point Is Probably Harold Our Savior
NOO
Not Harold He Was The Only Good Character
If a Good Character is canon then they'll change them to make them a Bad Character
Uh Oh Imagine Harold’s The Guest
Or they'll die within the Episode they're introduced back into the Canon
Don’t forget in HN2 that there IS no basement labyrinth
It’s 1 singular room
OR BOTH
God
Don’t forget how Enzo and Maritza’s mom is still alive for some reason
What?
Yep
It's a throwaway line in Episode 2
Mrs Esposito is alive
The AS is the hip new canon
No the Books are Non-Canon
Series is Canon
AS is replacing all the canon with its own
That's just how it is now
Well Guess Ima Be That One Guy Who Hates The Canon And Only Likes The Non Canon
Just like the rest of us
I Don’t Get How The Books Couldn’t Fit In Animation It Totally Could
Oh it DEFINITELY could
They just didn’t want to try
They gotta have it be modern so it’s easy to write for
And trendy
AS Pilot is probably their only attempt to make it fit in Animation
But even then they broke that canon too
After people hated on that they chose to scrap everything to make this new canon
Literally just because they got a little bit of hate they chose to scrap the Book Story
Well, The Non-Canon Can Still Fit Into The Full Timeline No Worries
And have it be sometime after Act 2 and before GN2
At least say Mayak is why this is the way it is
Heck have it set before during and after Act 1 and have it as just people around town
New events and game events from a different perspective
Like each episode could be a different resident of Raven Brooks
Kinda like they were planning
Like Marvels What If
But with Time Periods instead of just Characters
Exactly
The Cops going through their Nog Simming story, Quentin’s first day in town, A group of 3 costumed kids exploring the forest on Halloween
Perfect for episodic stuff
I’m Gonna Believe In The new Theory Timeline Of AS, Games, And Mostly Books Are Mixed Into A Conduct Timeline From Now On
Yeah they had the perfect chance to make new stories from pre-existing lore
But now they gotta make new lore
Ima Be Back In A Bit
I’m Back
If The Halloween Kids Are Canon And They Went Missing Why Are There Costumes In The Museum
?
My Guess Is If The Theory Of Each Golden Apple Coin Possesses A Soul Then They We’re Prob Murdered
First that is not true
Cause the museum is a public place
So ppl would just walk in and see dead ppl I don't think that would be good for business
2nd in the game although the museum is closed that's only due to the fact that they lost the museum key
Other wise the museum is open
So I don't think ppl are comfortable with dead ppl in the museum
It’s Abandoned And Was Turned Into A Forest Protector Hideout
No
My Current Timeline Theory accounting for AS (and yes I'm putting Books 4-6 + 1 in there but only because they can be edited to work with WtRB):
1984 - Bosco Bay
Late 2011 - Bad Blood
Summer 2012 - Grave Mistakes, Puzzle Master
Early 2015 - Missing Pieces, Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek
Early 2016 - Welcome to Raven Brooks Episode 1, 2, and 3
March 2016 - Welcome to Raven Brooks Episode 4, Act 1
Spring 2016 - Rest of Welcome to Raven Brooks, Secret Neighbor, Hello Neighbor: Search and Rescue, Hello Engineer
May 2016 - Act 2, Hello Neighbor 2
2016-2035 - Raven Brooks Disaster
March 2035 - Act 3, Finale, and Diaries
2046 - Reset Day
It never was a Forest Protector Hideout
And he isn't a forest protector
Forgot To Put The Theory Is:
No I was talking about Mr. Peterson when I said that
There’s A Theory It’s A Forest Protector Hideout Since That’s Where The Guest Was Summoned and Why’s There A Bunch Of Forest Protector Cult Items There Also Mr. Peterson Is Forest Protector Maybe?
He Helped Hide The Stolen Keys
For The NPCs Around Town Who Are Forest Protector
Because the forest protectors are the ones who made his life miserable
They gave him bad luck
Those Were The Book 4-6 Forest Protectors This Though Is A New Group With New Goals
Here’s The Theory
In AS
Yes but here's the point
No? (referring to "With New Goals")
Like I Said It’s A Theory
Besides if they(The Forest Protectors) knew anything they'd know Peterson historically has bad luck
and that it might affect them
Yea
Ik That But, This New Group Doesn’t Care About Luck Devices.
It's why accidents happen at all of his parks
It's (most likely) why his Wife died
Yea
There’s A Theory That This New Group We’re Trying To Summon The Guest.
You made that theory
Actually No.
Also if Ted and the Forest Protector Cop(Keith Nielsen) were working together why would Ted need to hide in the Museum
Protect Aaron?
The heck does Aaron have to do with that?
What I’m Trying To Say Is Not That Ted Is Forest Protector But, He Had To Do With The Guest Being Summoned
He’s Collecting Golden Apple Coins In AS
The Statue Is Filled With Golden Apple Coins
At The Museum
Guest, technically speaking, has existed since at the earliest Secret Neighbor (because how else would the kids imagine it)
and those are most likely some disguised version of a Luck Device
The Forest Protectors Big Secret Is The Guest That Was Explained In HN2
Cuz The Forest Protector Rituals All Other The Place Around The Statue
The Statue May Be Some Sort Of Prototype Guest That’s Atleast My GUEST
Hahahah Pun Funny
At the very least I feel like the Gold Coins are physical forms of the "Good Luck" the Forest Protectors get from the Luck Devices
That’s What I’m Saying Teds Collecting Them To Build His Luck Back He Filled Them Up In The Statue
To get them Ted has to let someone die/kill someone
Ted's killing Forest Protectors
Then Something Went Wrong That The Forest Protectors Did And They Summoned The Guest That’s Why They Stole The Keys So No One Finds Out.
There's no way they'd work together
He Wouldn't put them in the Statue
That's just wasting his little Luck he has for (to him) no reason
Yeah, Exactly They Summoned It It Ran Away And Too Make Sure No One Found Out About The Guest They Stole The Keys And Locked The Place Up.
H U H
Where was Mr.Peterson when it got locked up
BC I don't think he'd let Forest Protectors do rituals when he's there
Well No Only The Rooms With Evidence We’re
Also This Was After Act 1
Early SN
Ted would need to already be in the building for them to lock up the "rooms with evidence"
He Isn’t He Knew That’s The Only Place Cops Wouldn’t Search So He Ran Their
Because in your theory the Crow Statue IS Evidence
Technically
and to lock that room they'd need to have locked up the entire building
Also It Isn’t Mine Couple Guys I know Came Up With It
and for Ted to be in there after it was locked up he'd need to be in there when it was locked up since there's no signs of breaking through a window as far as I remember
Imma make sure just in case
No He Did That’s How He Knew About The Museum
But I don't remember any
No I’m Saying Only The Evidence Rooms We’re Anything Like The Locked Up Door Weren’t
Since that would be the only way he'd be able to enter after it got locked up
?
Oh Yeah That’s True Hold On
Again I'm saying the Main Room would count as a evidence room
So it'd also be locked up
What About The Door On The Roof

Can you send a picture
Here I’ll Load On HN2 Rn
I'm going to double check for evidence of Ted breaking a Window you find this door you mentioned
It’s Like That
Because I may have missed a minor detail but I don't remember this door existing
Here I’m On Xbox It’s Gonna Take A Bit
It Not Pn The Roof It’s On Second Floor Balcony
I was going to check for Unexplained Broken Glass on the Floor or smth like that
Loading Into My Save
Yeah I Might It’s Easier On Foot Though
Here Going To Museum
HERE it is
Sorry About Shaking On Camera By The Way
Yeah Ik I Meant Second Floor
And Plus If Quentin Can Mantle I Think Mr. Peterson Can
Exactly
Ik
Same well Gotta Go See Ya
Pretty sure that room is in a spot where Ted wouldn't be able to get in still
It look to be above the map room
(Yes that's what I'm calling it)
The Map Room has no way without access to the rest of the Museum to get to any other room
At least not logically with how the other rooms are set up
Into the Garage? Only possible with outside help (which Ted wouldn't have)
Into the Main Room from the Room with the Forest Protector Painting?
The Side the Board's on makes this impossible
I’m Back What Makes What Impossible
Yep
The Boards and Stuff make it impossible for Ted to get into the Main Room from the Trapdoor
Here Ima Hop Back On And Check
Or the way the boards are set up
Even if The puzzle was set up after the fact it would still be impossible BC of the Boards and how the Garage Vent works
Me Too
Here’s The Problem
Only The Areas Where You Need A Key Were Pre Put There Everything Else Was Ted
So He Can Still Get To The Main Room Through The Garage He Just Put Up Boards To Make Sure Also I Forgot To Mention Ted Got In There Through The Garage Probably
He Probably Just Slid It Up The Garage Door And Parked His Car Then Boarded Up The Garage
Basically
Also Rooms Like This We’re Used For Rituals:
Don’t Think So
They do have lore but it's mostly self contained
Only in Back To School since we got the most info for it
So the Janitor is a old Principal of the Raven Brooks Middle School
Kids went missing and since no one could get proof for what happened eventually the School got shut down
Yep
It's implied the kids that went missing are the Alpha 1.5 Kids
Yeah
Talking About Them There Costumes Are In The Museum?
Meaning BtS happens years after AS, Acts 1/2, SN, HE, HNVR, and HN2 Base Game
So Was Quentin The One Going There Or?
They have probably went missing recently at the time the game happens
Since the Principal in AS is not the Janitor and they Costumes are recreated and put up for display in the Museum
To The School Cuz He Got Knocked Out In HN2
Missing JOURNALIST!!!!
He Must Have Went There If It’s Implied That The Person Who Went And Investigated The School Went Missing Must’ve Been Him
Yeah But Quentin Wasn’t The Actual Person Who Went Their In The Canon
Right Or Am I Wrong?
Knock knock
Whose There
Peter
Peter Who
Peterphile
Huh?
Shout it out loud
I Don’t Wanna
Late Fees only gives hints at a story since we don't got the intended ending
But there's the Unknown Heart in the Restricted Section
Cuz He Went Missing After HN2 Right
Cool peterphile
And He Appears Back In Town To Solve Another Mystery Doesn’t Make Sense?
Ahhh I Get It Now Reference To If Hello Neighbor Was Realistic
Please Don’t Tell Me You Searched Up Peterphile
It so funny what he is buzzlightyear
Search Up Hello Neighbor If It Was Realistic And Watch That
(Just know the deleted message this is in reply to is talking about where Guest Kid is in HN2 FG)
Gotta Go For A Bit
see ya both
Lore
P
So when the neighbour dies the guy who hits qeintin in the back of his head who is he
Ok
Along with who takes Quentin back to the Banner
The Fates of the "Alpha 1.5 kids"
Wasn’t it the guest?
Inserts Hello Neighbor Lore Explanation here
So basically there is a Book, Hello Neighbor Graphic Novel 2: The Raven Brooks Disaster in which the Neighbor, who's name is actually Theodore Masters Peterson, is shown alive
I will listen it midnight here I. Uk
Oh thanks
The librarian is strange
Though
No
Idk he just was still under bird, because we don’t see what happens next
Just going to send My Current Timeline Theory accounting for AS(Welcome to Raven Brooks/WtRB) again (and yes I'm putting Books 4-6 + 1 in there but only because they can be edited to work with WtRB):
1984 - The Secret of Bosco Bay
Late 2011 - Bad Blood
Summer 2012 - Grave Mistakes, Puzzle Master
Early 2015 - Missing Pieces, Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek
Early 2016 - Welcome to Raven Brooks Episode 1, 2, and 3
March 2016 - Welcome to Raven Brooks Episode 4, Act 1
Spring 2016 - Rest of Welcome to Raven Brooks, Secret Neighbor, Hello Neighbor: Search and Rescue, and Hello Engineer
May 2016 - Act 2, Hello Neighbor 2
2016-2035 - The Raven Brooks Disaster and Hello Neighbor 2's DLCs
March 2035 - Act 3, Finale, and Diaries
2046 - Reset Day
Ok nvm
I don't really know
Depends on if Missing Pieces is still (somewhat) canon
Let me get something that'll help catch you up to speed on the pre-Welcome to Raven Brooks version of the lore
(Background, Prior to the Games) Raven Brooks, the main location in Hello Neighbor, is home to strange weather phenomena that has plagued the town all the way back to before it’s residents can remember. Around this time, the rumor of Forest Protectors (who call themselves ‘the ravens’ of the town...
HN2 is still using Beta Lore here and HE isn't included but still for the most part it works
I know but at the very least it'll give him a better idea of some details
(I.E the Cultists/Forest Protectors)
and more, just mentioning them first
Of it does have HE in it
I just put really put the old Google Doc there so he has a better understanding of what we're talking about
Yeah
(Also I didn't make the Google Doc, GavinWK (who you probably have little to no clue who he is) did)
Thank you Festive Aiden I read the whole thing I understand
Yeah
Nicky has had a tough time from trauma to a long nightmare was act 3
K yeah
Yeah
It Takes Place After HN1 Where Nicky Tries To Remember What Happened When He Was A Kid To Understand Where His Trauma Came From
Eventually He Remembers Everything And Now Understand Why He Had PTSD
You sure
Positive
Everyone Knows That It Ties In With The Books But, Game Isn’t Fully Out So Might Be Changed
This is great, you did an amazing job
.
Are you sure it takes place after act 1
NOO After Act 4 When Nicky Wakes Up It’s When He Finishes Unpacking Everything
Yea there you go
Don’t Know Pretty Sure It Is
Yea
bro what?
if the lore is like this then this changes everything
2046?? 😳 Neighbor dies twice until 2046
lol
(The "Spring 2016" is for where I don't know if it happens in March, April, or May yet)
(it'll exist even after I nail down months for the rest of the stuff in that listing bc I just listed "rest of Welcome to Raven Brooks" there)
and Secret Neighbor, due to being a imaginary plan, is also going to last until they actually do the plan(HNVR/SR)
there should be a real gun in hn to kill mrpeaterson once so he will never return am i right
Yeah
Entire HN Lore summarized new:
Alpha Lore: So u in coma
Beta Lore: So you are the son of someone, you have a dream of that person, you go visit their grave at the end
Full Game lore: You are trying to save your friend, named Aaron, and end up having life-long trauma
Books 1-3 Lore: Basically the person whose son you tried to save in-game is a theme park designer and you now have 3 friends
SN Lore: 6 people try to save your player character from HN1
Books 4-6 Lore: You, Aaron Peterson, with the help of a couple friends and family members, nearly destroy a entire secret society that gives the whole town bad luck
GN1 Lore: ...
GN2 Lore: Theme Park Designer uses father's weather machine to cause a flood, and fights with a birb man before becoming the birb man
HE Lore: read message below
Book 7 Lore: TIME LOOPS
HN2 Lore: You Journalist that break into Homes on 3 streets to try to save Aaron
HND lore: A CUP OF COCOA WI-
WtRB lore: Everything isn't canon!
Wasn’t Their Also Lore To Hello Guest I Never Knew What It Was
gn1 lore
so anyways whats the deal with the cult
i thought they were worshipping the ravens
but a raven killed that woman that maybe was a part of the cult
because of the golden apple coin that she had
and also in hn2 we saw the taxidermist yell at the ravens or something
The cult uses objects known only as "Luck Devices" in rituals to give them Good Luck but the town Bad Luck
They can also curse a family with Bad Luck
The Peterson family is proof of that (referring to cursing a family)
They Worship Ravens And Possibly More Importantly The Guest Probably
Some Of The Many Things That Happened Cuz Of It We’re: The Bosco Bay Incident, The Fernweh Welt Incident, The Golden Apple Incident. Possible Causes Of The Curse: Mya’s Death And Diane’s Death.
Wait What?
I thought in Book 1 there was mention of a Incident of a Park in Australia
I Haven’t Read The Books In A Year So Idk
In Melbourne specifically
Ohhhh I Think Ik What You’re Talking About
Also Didn’t Ted Make A Famous Theme Park In Japan Aswell
You just got confused because I said Australia and not specifically Melbourne
Yeah
I don't remember but perhaps he did
It Was Something Along The Lines Of: “Famous Theme Park Designer Theodore Masters Peterson Creature Of Attractions Across The World From Japan To America”
Idk
Also Isn’t There Like A Giant Statue Of The Guest Inside The Museum It’s Just Broken Threw Many Rooms
Such As This Room If You Look
In The Middle It’s A Big Pillar
And Through All The Rooms When You See This You Can Find Hands, Feet
Possibly A Head It’s All In The Shape Of The Guest
I Was Guessing It Was Based On The Big Guest Statue In HG
Here This Is What I’m Talking About
Cuz What Significant Does It Have In The Lore
I’m Guessing It Was The Forest Protectors Way Of Spreading More Rituals Across The Museum
This thing in the Park?
I didn't list HG Lore in my lore summarized thing but it has no connection to Forest Protectors
I don't think the meaning of the HG statue, and the meaning of the HN2 cultist statue is the same, but who knows
I’m not Talking About The Crow Statue In The Main Room That’s Hanging I’m Talking About The Giant Guest Statue The Is Inside Across The Entire Museum
The Structure Is The Exact Same As The Statue In HG
I'm just saying in general, wasn't a reply
Ahh Ok
HN2 Is The Rebranded Version Of HG
The Plot Is Very Similar
HG: Figure Out What The Secret Of The Guest Is And Where It Came From
HN2: Figure Out The Secrets In The Museum And How They Connect To The Guest.
The Main Plot Of HN2: Rescue Aaron
Yeah That One The Structure Is Similar To The Giant Statue Inside The Walls And Rooms In The Museum
oh so it was a rebooted version of hello neighbor 1
thats great
but there was no need to call it HN 2 might i add.
Not Really HN2 Was To Continue With The Things That We’re Left Out In-between Act 2 And 3
We know some of the stuff that happens between Acts 2 and 3
Like (Most likely) Trinity and Enzo getting married
(because we don't know if it was Trinity or not but it's heavily implied to be Trinity)
Or the Neighbor's House being burned down by someone
(Implied to be Aaron due to a statement that Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek would reveal who burnt down the house and Nicky def didn't do it, Theodore has no reason to do it, and the other characters in HNHS are all dead)
HN2 didn't really solve much of the unknown stuff that happened in-between Acts 2 and 3
I'm still amazed, how many people think that you will get married to the first person you ever fell in love with lol
I'm saying in general, I don't really pay much attention about the Trinity and Enzo thing
Again with the Trinity and Enzo thing it's heavily implied because the way Piper describes Jess(One of Enzo's Kids in Reset Day) is almost exactly how Trinity looks
Yes You We’re A Security Guard But Your Main Goal Was To Get To The Top Of The Mountain And Get To The Guest Statue
HN2 Is Supposed To Explain The Origin Of The Guest Which It Did
In My Opinion It Did
Honest Hello Guest Lore Question: Why are we guarding a abandoned park?
From Vandals After Eyes And Ears The Company Hears There’s Problems With Vandalised Things In The Park So You Get Hired To Guard The Place At Night
Seems honestly kinda odd that our player characters would choose to work as a Crow Guard for an abandoned location
Yeah But Remember It’s Still Raven Brooks Property
and that Beatrix would go after Quentin goes missing after Hello Guest Chapter 1(also known as Hello Guest Alpha 1)'s ending
Supposedly Yes
I Feel Like I’m A HG Nerd Honestly
Me who's been trying to figure out what future Hello Guest Chapters would contain for the past 3 months now:
Are They Continuing HG
Tbh everyone who knows the lore is
Probably not
There’s Secret Stuff Aswell
Maybe we'll find out what HG Lore was in WtRB
Hopefully
There’s The Secret That The Guest Is For Some Reason Guarding A Wall That Leads To Mayak
Actually in HGP the Guest seems to be trying to blow up that wall
He destroyed the wall that leads to mayak
You forgot the Bad Ending exists
Yea
Yeah The Guest Is Desperate For Some Reason To Get To Mayak
I'm not sure
It seems like Quentin and the Guest have the same goal in HGP
Not rlly
There's also the mystery person who turned on the window in HGP
Quinton goal is to get to the top of the mountain
How do you know they're missing
Whoever they are they must be important
Mystery doesn't mean Missing
I never said Missing
Oh srry
Mystery means we don't know much
I read it wrong
Oh, it's ok
I'm going to start a Pinboard of Hello Guest Lore information so we can see what we have and what we need to know
Yes
From What Ik Mystery Person Was An Early Version Of MITH
Who's mith
The Man in the Hat
Oh
He Was Supposed To Be The Secret Antagonist Of HG
The Guy in the ending of Hello Guest Alpha 1
I don't think that would make much sense
But I'm not ,too, updated on the HG side of things
So I wouldn't know
But I don't think HG is canon
So I'm still questioning that
In The Files For The Ending It Said Something Man_Hat
Idk
I mean sure
Here's one question: Why does MitH try to grab our player character in HGA1's Ending
Here’s The Answer
Um maybe bc Quinton interacted with the guest
What does MitH have with Quentin and Beatrix that he seems to be invetigating them only to try to kidnap them
even BEFORE Quentin and Beatrix start their job at the GAAP
He did
MITH Is Trying To Get Rid Of The Guest, That’s Why He Snatched You, Cuz You Found Out Too Much About The Guest, He Didn’t Want Someone Getting In His Way.
We didn't see Quinton and Beatrix until HG
Because he's the one holding the clipboards when we select our player at the start of HGA1
That's basically what I said
I mean
He At First Wanted You As Bait That’s Why He Hired You And Yes He’s Apparently The One Who Hires Us
We see the clipboards in the HN2A
This may not count but he(MitH) also drives past when Quentin and Beatrix go to the GAAP in the intro
You can't see him in Quentin's Intro but they put him there anyways
Guys you know where I think I've seen these things in real life
brb
Like I Said Were Bait, And Monitors Us Too Make Sure We Don’t Find Out Too Much, If We Do, Well Then You’re Now Officialy Simming.
(Unfunny joke moment) ohio
Bur I don't think that's it
Because Quinton in HN2 know a lot
And he never goes simming
Or does he
?
HG Was Different Back Then The Story Was Different
I mean yea
He Does At The End
but does he
And in the Alphas he has a new job
im pretty sure in any future update, we will play as the same character
No I Thought You Ment Quentin
Also MITH Isn’t Exactly In The FG
I did mean Quinton
No but he is in a lot of teaser trailers for the game
Back
The Reason MITH Doesn’t Kidnap Quentin Is Cuz He’s At Golden Apple
But then the Guest gets involved
Exactly So Now We Go Simming
and the Guest ends up kidnapping our player character(s)
Maybe mith hires Quinton as a journalist very far fetched I know
True that is the secret ending
But it's probably not canon
taking us to Rumble on the Mill for the unreleased Chapter 2
Sense it was scraped
We're talking Hello Guest Lore here buddy
most of this stuff IS scrapped
I mean true
Also this stuff(The Secret Ending) was intended to be Hello Guest Alpha 2's intro
Ok
Exactly, That’s Why Anything Before The Beta Is Practically Scrapped
I'm kinda leaning into uncharted territory here
I don't know much about the HG stuff so I'm just using what ik in whole
Which is the Canon stuff
From What Ik The Only Canon Thing There Is From HG Is The Mountain A.K.A The Guest Hideout
Or Mayak For Short
The Guest Hideout (Visitor_Den) is actually Rumble on the Mill
It's not at the Weather Station
I'm pretty sure the Mayak isn't the guest hide out
Ik But There Was Also The Guarding Post Which Is Supposed To Be Mayak
Tell me, does this look like it could be meant to be Mayak
No not really
Is That The Mill?
Also The “Guarding Post” Was A Scrapped Idea Of A Place The Guest Protects
From the Hello Guest Reveal Trailer?
Hence the name guarding post
It's actually the Security Post shoved into the ground
It Was Apparently Next To Mayak From What IK
The file for the area was left-over in HGA1
It wasn't
Hmmm
Oh
It's right where the ending gets trigged in HGA1
That's nowhere near the Top of the Mountain where the Mayak resides
This Place Right Here
Right there is the Cafe Building
What Scrapped Idea?
Apparently Not 100% On This But,
There Was A Scrapped Location Atop The Mountain Where The Guest Would Protect For An Unknown Reason
Where did you hear about this?
Don’t Have Source But, There Was A Website On HG Topics And News Where They Would Put Things On HG
It’s Where I Heard Of The Mill
Do you still have the site?
Nope… Last Time I Was Ever On It Was 2 Years Ago
Guys i have an idea
What if somehow quinten is kidnapped and is taken into the neighbors basement (ny whoever kidnapped us in the end of hn2)
you mean the basement with a COP IN THERE??
So we get to see the neighbors basement still exists but is covered to look like it doesn't exist
Well no cop
What i like to think is that you know the wall where we get the crowbar from
Is a secret doorway to get into tbat basement
The cop leaves the house and has no idea about the secret basement
He is tho
But I'm not gonna bother trying to convince you
Proofs?
Well, I'm not sure I can
The books clearly shows he is against the cult and his game description tells us he always tries to be a good police officer
I just herd in this chat that the npcs in HN2 are part of the cult
Only one so far
he couldve been bribed i guess?
Anyway that's just my lil idea
I wouldn't be surprised if the second part of hn2 is basically gonna turn out more crazy then part 1
Since i think thats fairly a hello neighbor trend tbh
i mean, he gives a key to baker gerda when you wake up on day 2, right?
you can see it on the cameras
Yea
And how exactly. There just isnt enough evidence to prove it.
So?
That's one proof he is in cult
Just a key
Being bribed or no
he's in some way connected to helping theodore, one way or another
not saying he's in the cult but
Its not even the museum key
who knows at this point lol
Yea
again, we cant rlly just imagine random scenarios without any prior evidences
exactly
Ngl good point
i doubt he does if he's not apart of it
He is defnitely on Brendas side though
Most ppl don't know about it
OH
the mother of Lucy
forgot about her
Yea
havent read the books in 2 years
Also, just based on her cute room with stuff animals and even a pet cat, Gerda doesnt look like the kind of person who would commit murders
my question is
But like she did lose her own child to a roller coaster
why would theodore choose these random people, like gerda, to hide keys to his home to keep his kid away from the public
wouldn't it be smart to just hide the stuff yourself??
Wrong key
?
The key Gerda is keeping is to like a freezer room if I remember
the key in the cash register goes to the entrance of the museum
and the people theodore's convincing to help him are obviously very convinced to help, i mean gerda taking out the literal buttons to her register to hide the key
when in doubt, blame hello neighbor
Ngl the HN1 parkour made me insane
But this is lore chat
Not HN1 chat so thats besides the point
No HN2 is right after act2
So ye
Cause in HN1 Aaron distracts mr. Peterson
To help Nicky get away
And in HN2 we can see Aaron
Well you had too
If you were to get past the full game
K
I feel like HN2's Intro is right after Act 2
At least the part with Aaron
Yeah
Before Act 1 doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to me
and between Acts 1-2 also wouldn't make too much sense
It is after act 2 but possibly a few months after act 2
Im fairly sure its not straight after act 2
Well thing is hn1 and hn2 kinda feel like they have somewhat different universes kinda but ig so and just the changes to the house
Plus the neighbors beard and stuff
The neighbor gets driven more mad
So anything that's different between HN1 Act 2 and HN2 could be chalked up to Nicky's memory not being correct
The general Story Act 2 gives (Aaron helping Nicky escape the Basement and the ending cutscene) is correct, but the rest of it isn't
Tho the position of Theodore is different in the Cutscene so it works with the Tall Fence
He's prob actually just on his front porch in the Real in-universe Act 2's Ending
Well that makes sense
Naughty naughry
Exactly!
Makes sense
I guess what also makes sense is we see nickys posters around hn2
Ok ig it could be around the time nicky escapes
Hence the cops and stuff
Unless nicky had trauma and couldn't confess for a while which adds some time
Tho idk seems kinda useless
I still wanna know how does the neighbors house go up in flames
Thats why I think in hn2 we will be revisiting the house in the extention and perhaps it has more to offer then what we seen so far
As far as I'm aware it was never proven but heavily implied
We actually got one big clue
that Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek was (at the very least) meant to reveal who burned it down
this means that A PERSON burned it down
and that this person had existed at the time of Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek
Now the only characters that existed at this time was Nicky, Mr.Peterson, Diane, Aaron, and Mya
Diane and Mya are dead
So therefore it must be Aaron
And I'm not going to mention Stage 3 a group of us agreed that it shouldn't be used as evidence
Eh nah i don't believe in aaron burning the house anymore
I mean hide and seek is before hn 1 and the house is still there in hn2
Plus atm ut seems like aaron isn't angry at theo or anything
Also supporting evidence for Aaron being the one who did it if Mr.Peterson was going to burn down the house you think he would've done so before the cops showed up
If anything perhaps another character has done it
Now granted HN2 was made after the statement but it still holds true
Maybe the guest or just some other character all together
I can imagine if hello neighbor becomes a ghost game all of a sudden
Now then again Peterson's House burning down was seemingly retconned by Reset Day
I mean the game features weird entitys
Thing tho hes just an imagination of nickys of what represents fear to him
The guest whos a literal demon of some sorts
Ngl thing just feels like something fairly forgettable now after the guests appearance XD
U sure
We never rlly see him suffering from it
I mean only nicky sees it
I dont really think so as much honestly
Never really been a moment where theo was shown to see him
He could have his own demon or perhaps guest haunts him
Idk maybe he imagines myas ghost
Nicky or quinten seen the guest?
Oh never
Idk i read tbat different the first time
Ngl tho
I wonder who makes the better entity
The guest or the thing
I mean I would say guest cuz 1
It seems hes possibly more real then the thing
Tho I will say the thing did feel more crazy
Guest is more funny
But the thing was more distorted
His animations where weird and unhumanly for a humanoid figure
The sounds he makes
The Thing is literally a representation of Fears and Trauma
Tbh his figure is more slim like nicks whereas the guest from the chest side of things looks more like the neighbors figure
Or the guest could represent quinten too
Guest is more real then the Thing is
Guest is also a demon of some kind
A literal Demon unlike the Thing
(or not demon but supernatural being)
Im so scared they gonna go with a satanic route with hello neighbor
I really just hope that doesn't happen abd still kinda go with the more kid friendly thing
Tho in hn acc kid friendly
and has actually been shown to be able to take over people
yeah
Fun Fact: The Guest wasn't intending to remain in Ted
It's heavily implied the Guest wants to possess Pris for some reason
Well I mean: in the intro of the Book when the crow flies by something seems to calling out Pris's name, in the red thingie (or as I call it Guest_Nest) it takes the form of Pris at the end there, and more I'm probably forgetting
and you deleted the thing I was about to reply to
Hey there you go, that's the most likely reason why
(that and maybe it's the only way the Guest can maintain a physical form for extended periods of time so why do a 2for1 by taking over someone that is taken for granted AND use them to have a physical form in this world for a extended period of time)
Perhaps the Guest is unable to leave physical form when possessing someone
To stop it off from getting turned off making it so that someone would have to go down there leaving Pris by herself
(That's my guess at least)
It also seems to need water to switch/enter bodies so it needed Pris in the water
But Pris was pulled out before it could get to her leaving the Guest inside Ted
Can Someone Fill Me In On What’s The Topic
I mean, you wouldn't say Water is wet would you? and the Guest seems to be made with water
I mean it forms from Water in GN2 and it's a goopy blob in the red space
The Guest Possesses People Cuz His Goal Is To Spread In Order For Him To Spread There Needs To Be Agony In People That’s Why He Takes From People To Make Agony Worse
You know the space where among other things it mentions Regina's Dog Flan being dead and temp takes the appearance of Pris?
You Mean The Nest?
Not Really Sure It From Water It Forms From The Nest Goop
The Nest Is Where The Guest Consciousness Resides
Early In Chat I Saw Some Talks In Chat About The Thing Connection With The Guest
Again the Guest probably uses water to form it's "Physical Form" so it wouldn't be able to be wet since water would just help keep it's physical form held together for longer
Theory I Made With Another Person: The Thing Is An Agony Searcher For The Guest, An Early Alarm, When It Finds Agony It Grows Bigger And Bigger In The Persons Mind, Until All That’s Left Is The Guest, As It Got Too Big And Evolved Into The Guest.
I Don’t Believe In That, That Much But It’s A Cool Theory
Maybe the guest is made of ink and this is just the bendy and neighbor merge thing all over again but canon XD
Some proof for this is that the Thing in SN among other things takes the form of the Guest
Exactly
Would also allow for that to exist without any of the SN kids having heard of the Guest
(Because yes the Secret Neighbor in Secret Neighbor is the Thing)
There’s Also The Fact That At The End Of Hello Neighbor You Can See The Thing Is Breaking Into Teds Mind And Wouldn’t You Know It He Got Possessed By The Guest
Yep, wouldn't ya' know it
Yup
Act 3 is not a dream
True
Nikita said as much
Wait What?
It's not actually happening IRL but it's not a dream
Ahh Him Getting Over Fears, Act 4 Is Him Fighting Back
True Remember Nicky Fell Asleep At Evening Then He Wakes Up It’s Still Evening
The only statement given as to what it(Acts 3 and Finale) is was that it was "Self Therapy"
It’s Him Relaxing His Mind Getting Over It
thx
How Many Times Has Nicky Had Therapy
He Had Therapy When He Was Kid Daily
He Went From Getting Therapy To Making Therapy
and the Thing Blowing up in Act Finale is Nicky getting over his trauma and fears of the past
(Note to get past the Basement where the Thing resides Nicky needs(or at least is intended to have) beaten those minigames specifically referred to as Fear Rooms)
The scene with the Neighbor trapped in the house is kinda symbolic of how the Neighbor was trapped because he couldn't stand up to his fears of losing his family
how?
Don't really know but Nikita said so so it has to be true
do you have any theories?
@ripe berry
Explain
Isn't Norman also Ted's friend?
yes, he is Ted's friend
I mean if the guy at the end was Norman, He would help Ted instead of bonking Quentin on the head
from the shadow, it looks like hes wearing a jacket similar to Quentin, and who we know wears similar clothes to Quentin? Norman Darby
hed first remove Quentin out of the picture and then focus on helping Ted
also, we dont see his hair, which means hes wearing a cap(like Norman does)
or hes bald
if hes bald, I'd say hes the missing journalist, but, why would he be involved in this
He went missing, maybe he was taken and indoctrinated into the cult?
Like he's probably also the one who takes Quentin all the way back to the Banner
maybe murdered
like poor Ike
cuz he found Otto's cultist stuff
Also, I really doubt it's Norman Darby, since the AS ties into HN2 directly apparently and it isn't using the book story
and they share the same writers for the cartoon and the game
Hi where's the General text
"isnt using book story" forest protector cultist stuff in both HN2 and AS
did you forget Alex legit said they're not using the book story
They took the cult from it then threw the rest away
I doubt they took only the cult
Oh right, sorry
The cult and character names
the golden apple inventors club photo in SN and HE
it was added very recently in HE too
Yeah? They
Still have the inventors club as a thing even in the AS. Somehow still active.
But in the AS, Maritza doesn't even know Mya!
Nobody does except potentially Ivan!
Nicky Trinity Enzo and Maritza were never friends w/ Aaron and Mya, heck I don't think they've even met them personally
They know OF them! But they just don't care. They're breaking in for the hell of it, or at least Nicky is.
Nicky is prob friends with Aaron
He's not, I can already predict. He never refers to Aaron by name, he keeps thinking Aaron and Mya were murdered, he doesn't even have the foresight to see what Ted does outside of his house like he does in the books
He just says "Mr Peterson murdered his kids! I gotta break in, hey you guys wanna break in I wanna break in"
Funny thing, AS tries to connect SN to the HN1 and HN2 and stuff. But SN also has the photo with Mya, Maritza and Lucy!
I think this cuz of this
:(
Oh wait i didnt noticed that. Thats interesting
wait, how is roller coaster blue prints here
its in Peterson's study too
Asset reuse without lore implications I guess? Unless Nicky stole a copy he had lying around
That sounds like a thing Nicky would do tbh
because
They do not care about the lore
Heck why isn't the school abandoned?
They legit made it from a different school to the HN2 School intentionally, they added the broken clock last minute
prob gets abandoned later ig
But in HN2 it's implied the school's been closed for
Years
Janitor was the Principal back when he still had color in his hair
the old design for the school in AS was red
And it didn't have a clock tower
and no clock
ye
They legit changed it last minute bc "Hehe hey what if we made it VAGUELY HN2 without changing the lore at all.."
because the school shape isn't even right
maybe its just an easter egg, and not the actual HN2 school
Wait
I just found out that Mr. Gershowitz's full name is Ike Quentin Cornelius Gershowitz
I mean it could've been found
But just wanna point it out
Yeah it was
Seems like a funny coincidence
Unless the true ending of hn2 is gonna be him getting chased by the fps and dying which is the prologue of book 4
That would mean his nickname is quentin
Of course why tf would the neighbor be in the hideout then
Nevermind
Yeah lol
Maybe he didn't actually die?
Maybe they just found a random corpse in the factory
Btw where'd you guys get the deluxe detective role?
you can't get it anymore but you got it if you filled a forum showing proof that you preordered HN2
at least i dont think you can get it anymore
ah dam
what was it called?
the role?
no the forum
i forget but it was a pinned message on the main channel
crap you cant submit a forum no more
dang i got deluxe but i was too late
rip
besides i think i was unbanned after they stopped accepting requests
They Have A Great Resemblance

What is your favourite HN books

GN2 Was Pretty Good
hey
Ok This Is For Something In #hello-neighbor
Basically The Reason Why We Don’t See The Guest That Much Is Cuz They Currently Don’t Have An AI Ready For It But
use the AI from hello guest -_-
They Do?
????? lmao???
They literally made him a good Ai in the Alpha's
Oh Well Don’t They Need To ReImplement It?
im pretty sure like
lore-wise
he actually is still here
just not VISIBLE
-opening
-shovel nightmare cutscene (at the door)
-the crow statue above the museum (makes sense in the ending too)
for 1 SECOND
he was in the game
his MODEL, was in the game
for 1 second
the character is still basically in, but its not obvious enough
But This Is Lore Chat So I’m Talking About Some Lore Real Quick So Listen Up @tropic sedge
i just gave the lore reason
lmfao
No I’m Giving The Origin
what the HELL are you talking about
Sorry Word It Wrong Meant To Say Where It CAME From
dude this is so disappointing, guest was my favorite thing about the alphas and the fact that he isn't in the final game is such a massive let down
the guest???
Same Here
we have no idea
yes!
they couldve used the AI from hello guest
Yeah There’s A Theory A Couple Guys Made Don’t Have Their Discord Names But, If You Look Around The Museum There’s So Many Guest Related Things Even Though Cultists use The Place, Possibly They We’re Trying To Summon The Guest But When They Did It Went Horribly Wrong And The Guest Ran Into The Neighborhood, They Then Stole The Keys To Make Sure No One Could Enter And Find Evidence. Pretty Cool Theory I’m Not 100% On It But It’s A Cool One
Ravens and the Guest are not the same
ravens is an entire cult
the Guest is independent
Lemme Explain The Cultists Believe The Guest As A God, They Filled The Statue With Golden Apple Coins, As A Offering Finally When They Tried To Summon The Guest It Was Disobedient, And Ran Off Into The Town They Didn’t Want Anyone Finding Out So They Stole The Keys To Make Sure No One Would Find Out.
Again: The guest is NOT the statue!!
no
Ok Explain To Me Why There’s A Giant Museum Sized Guest Statue In The Museum Threw All The Rooms?
i literally have a theory that makes more sense than this
Throw It To Me
Guest World still being in play
Do you listen to me??
it sounds stupid, but hear me out
Also Guest Is Independent Like I Said It Ran Off
We've seen what the guest can do
