yeah
but what does Mr. Peterson have to do with that?
oh yeah
Aaron was traumatized when his mom died
RIP
but anyways
Cuz his family was cursed by them
The curse was bad luck
how can someone be cursed with bad luck?
so Gerda was also cursed?
oh wait
so that's why Mr. Peterson almost got crushed by that giant crow sculpture, and part of the reason why Aaron escaped in act 2, later to be captured again
sh1mp?
Bro you need to catch up
Read the books
No Gerda wasn’t cursed
oh
The cultist hated Teds parents so they cursed their family
oh
Brb
k
I thinkk? waaay back then
is the AS canon?
because in the AS Nicky isn't at the house in front of Theodore's
and in HN 2 at the tree house there are the blueprints of the "gadgets" Nicky did in the books
so the Nicky trilogy of books is canon
so, is AS canon?
also, is Reset Day canon??
to quote AlexN, canon is a flexible term
so
the AS is canon
but it retcons everything else which was created before it
so at this point, people just shouldn't take everything too seriously
Tapes were changed?
Yea, All the casettes have new audio now
So what is the new audio
They're not one audio separated into different casettes like before, i think
Theres different things
And theres a person speaking wayron croobian in one casette
Someone get a translator (and no I ain't grabbing mine mine's outdated and cancelled) we've got some work to do
unlike in the radio in Hello Engineer! funny

For what
for finding out what this Wayron Croobian this one guy's speaking might be
good luck, it's very hard to even understand one word
Prob the news
Sounds like the news at least
do you think it is wayron croobian? Cus i heard Teperson
We all think it's Croobian
Observatory lore :) we don't know exactly what Ted's powering there but it's safe to say it has to do with time travel/loops
This could be a complete shot in the dark, but I think the guy we hear speaking in the first clip could be the Hat Guy from the Alphas, since at the end of Alpha 1 you could see him standing by a telephone similar to what we hear at the end of the tape, plus whoever's speaking doesn't sound like anyone we currently see in Raven Brooks.
So I think it's probably this guy on the phone talking with or about Peterson (Teperson), then getting mad and hanging up at the end.
MITH isn’t canon.
At least currently
Even though some key parts of HG are
So since we know the new tape audio is of the mayor trying to get mr Peterson with the help of Neilson
And Ted having evidence
My guess is Ted has evidence of them being cultist and summoning the guest
Man it sucks being a lore enthusiast and playing on consoles rn
when was he in sn? i forgot
he is an event
ohhh ok
I’m that’s why I said currently since we don’t see him much
But I hope he comes to the FG as a side quest character
You said he wasn't canon
SN makes him canon
unless they delete that event
I said currently afterwards and plus they haven’t mentioned him at all
So for now it’s safe to leave MITH out of the way
But since some key elements in HG are canon that means he can have a possible return
Any chance hat guy could be Dale Tapps?
ahem we also don't know how the Missing Journalist sounds like
Higher chance he was Gordon Cleave
Wait where was this revealed?
at the patch 4 update
Hello Neighbor 2 Patch 4
HG is no more, let them go
the accident was 3 years ago
I'm actually expecting Smith to be removed from SN, I mean...what the man do there :((
Yeah but key elements are still in the canon such as Mill, Mayak Storms and Night Shift Guard
Mayak storms are canon, but im not too sure about the other ones
Yeah but the elements in it are
tornado is not canon to the HN universe
Oh dang
Well the doc got updated but it was kinda rushed I added HN2 now: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-nvlX7K7ljW_pXHPHPFJZmIX79Gs_Jew2_Z2J2eCzxE/edit

is the cavenoises one from inside the tunnels
the dude from the books? honestly liked that guy
I was thinking that
Hey, just a little thing: You forgot HN1 Act 1, Secret Neighbor, and HN1 Act 2
me personally im excited for when the hn2 updates finish migrating from bug fixes and game improvements to new content lore-wise, so far it's been bug fixes and new jumpscares but anything lore related in the updates was the vhs tapes.
maybe patch #5 will have smth big
we'll see
Ahh of course
Need to add HN1
Prob not gonna do SN since AS is supposed to show what happens during that time but I will add it at some point
Might add only act 2s once we don’t really know what happens with act 1 in AS
Act 1 could be one of Nicky's dreams
No, just no.
haha it was just a dream! 😉
😐
have you guys seen the leaked website
its rather unfortunate, that we the lore masters of Hello Neighbor, got our website leaked.
wha??
what website
whats the password for the rbbarchive on the hn2 website???
nvm
The password is "HATCHERYWINGATE"
man i wish we got hello guest as a game or at least alpha 2 : (
from what i know about it with the mill and everything it sounded like the biggest hello neighbor game yet, and the lore would've been insane!
honestly if i was in charge of HN,
i would make hello guest the 3rd and final game and make it tie in with hn2, and make it an ending to the series answering all lore questions
and then id do something crazy
TB would make a whole new game also named Hello Neighbor, but it wouldn't be a retcon or remake. it'd be what the early alphas of HN was gonna be with the realistic artstyle and everything, and there'd be no lore and it would be simple and nostalgic. it would be like a goodbye to the HN franchise. idk, crazy idea I had. it'd be seperate from all story and be its own standalone spinoff. it'd be like the prototype that nobody got to play thats in the first trailer
W or L?
ty
the baker
She was caught in a storm during Halloween with her friends and the cultist would’ve gotten them and Gerda was rescued but her friends went missing
She’s one of the Halloween Kids
It’s hard to tell who but in my opinion it’s either Guest kid or Alien kid
thank you this is exactly what i needed.
The real thing according to the books happened at night
And the whole basement is messed up
Nicky would've imagined how the whole basement in his dreams looked like, as he has only been there once
Yeah, in the game the ending looks different depending on time of day, the canon time was the evening.
Yeah cuz it’s an underground theme park it always looks messed up
Your welcome I’m still working on it but this is based on The Full Timeline which is currently the best Canon version of the Universe
The weirdest thing is that not everything is canon 🤣
Yeah cuz of retcon but this is retcon proof
I think the mayor could be the one talking on the phone in one of the audio tapes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JqMKaHOflI
Thoughts on this?
Some interesting stuff releated to the story. We have a little explanation for the School DLC story and the Library DLC.

you know
HN is not a franchise material to begin with
the story was a bit too complex and heavy for that
look at the base plot of Sonic and Mario for example. those can be franchises, they have a very easy plot.
HG was going to be the perfect sequel (now that they were kinda forced to make one)
BUT-.....
He is
He’s talking to Neilson on the phone, looking for Ted, prob since he has evidence of the cultist.
yeah
I realized I do not want the story to go in a direction, where it's just an endless showdown between the Petersons and the cultists
like what the f
Neilson
😭
There's an exact problem with the whole plot, and its existence. First off, there combining the book series, AS, and the game, and making them fit in 1 story, which is already a big issue to start with, if they would've thought of the AS being something different, they could've come up with something that isn't based on the books, which like I said, tried to fit in, but failed
I don't know, why are they making things different
why can't they stick to base plot elements at least (deaths, how the kidnapping REALLY happened, etc)
iT's not that hard bruh
Sorry my bad NIELSON even though that’s not how it is in the books
Anyways was thinking, if the guest was a consciousness that was turn into a physical being by the cultist, why would the guest run to the golden apple amusement park?
I mean we know it ran off and was disobedient
The guest:
That’s the lore for him
Also anyone gonna talk about how they changed the lore from being that the Peterson car crash was from a pizza truck to “Unknown”
If that's true, that means Gerda has to be below 20 years old right?
Cause in HN2 she's shown as a adult
so when did the storm happen?
She’s in her mid 20s-30s
We don’t know
I'm pretty sure it's spelled "nielsen"
cause that's how it's spelled in HN2
it's like the mandela effect
you're lucky I'm not one of those people who get offended by mispronouncing
I can tolerate it as long you learn from it
I’ll speak and write how I want. Doesn’t matter if it’s the correct way because you get what I’m saying
fair point
Files. It's called everything but mayak/metostation/weather station. It's always called something relating to space, being Observstory, planetarium, and cosmostation.
And I made a image showing how it works
Cause Ted added on that stuff himself
But yeah it's quite simple
So there
These are concept arts of course but this is how mayak would've been like before this version of HE was canned
there's no way on earth that Gerda is younger than me
she must be 30+ bruh
didn't mean to ping
I mean she looks like she’s in her 30s, but if that was the case than Neilson would be in his mid 60s, and the article says he’s a young cop, most Likely 20s.
that could work
blob:https://www.helloneighbor2.com/631d3e8f-c3f4-48f7-9c3b-5201558dface i just found this link in the script of the rbbarchives website
anyone know what this means
yeah I sure love 404 page not found
Remember when people got mad at me for thinking the museum was abandoned, and then the lore package came.
Cuz I do
Don’t wanna ping but some people you see a lot in the server
looked it up, its just something to do with debugging and stuff i'm pretty sure. no lore to be found
timeline
Game timeline kinda but Full Timeline completely wrong
Did act 3 even happen?
1 question, in hello neighbor 2 there are missing pages from the kid we play in hello neighbor 1, but in the act 2 we escaped, why are there missing pages from us in hello neighbor 2? Or are the missing pages old and just left on the floor all the time
Well they didn’t take them down just like that. He just escapes as Quentin arrives
But the neighbor had this wall (dont know whats the english word for "Zaun" ist) and after we escaped the neighbor had to make the wall away, it takes a little time to do that
it was an hallucination of nicky
What do you mean zaun?
Fence
But if the wall/fence wasnt there why we had to do all the thinks to escape
His timeline is a bit wrong, but the reason why is cuz act 2 was an exact hour before Quentin arrives at Raven Brooks.
Not everything exactly happened the way it went, all that actually happened is Nicky broke out the basement and ran home
but where you get the information from that is happened how you explained (I just want to know everything about hello neighbor xd)
The books and the Animated Series
ah kk, i think I should watch the series xd, thanks
How stupid it is to see them get angry for you giving an opinion
The Fence is a representation of the Peterson Household
I never said stupid?, I was just saying it had whole entire argument and then the second people saw the lore package, they went quite.
Ik, im saying its stupid for them to argue about something small
ill be working on a full HN timeline thats as accurate as possible
wont include AS since its a retcon/seperate timeline
its going to be a google slide and besides accuracy its gonna be very high quality!
@silent gorge apologies for the tag, I really am sorry, but I'm very confused about the canon of Hello Neighbor? Are the books canon to the games still?
Again apologies for the tag but can anybody on the team help me out? I just don't know if the Animated Series is canon to the games or what.
It’s a canon that has elements that connect to the games
the animated series, better back this up at a later date.
Full Timeline, no need.
I believe that at the end hello neighbor 2 is a shadow, this is not a journalist at all, but what if it is the neighbor's brother! What do you think?
the neighbor does not have a brother
He doesn’t have a brother, but he does have a sister
Ok. And what was the sign where a grown-up is drawn and he holds the children, and the other child falls?
What?
That’s an alpha, not Full Game
Ok
the exact MINUTE not hour
cuz Aaron escapes just seconds after Nicky does
and Quentin sees Aaron escape
Yes but Nicky escaped at the evening, which means it would’ve took an hour for him to break out of the house, probably because he was fending off his dad.
how do you know he escaped in the evening?
you are aware that the time of the day in act 2 changes right?
you can escape in night time too
Well considering Aaron escapes right after Nicky in HN2 and it's night there then Nicky escaped at Night
And it would make more sense, no one would be awake to see all the comotion
And then the cops are there the next morning
True but in the lore it’s at evening, and plus Nicky would’ve had to wake his parents up if it was nighttime, which he didn’t do, and plus this time Ted was ready since he heard Aaron escaping, unlike Nicky, so it was definitely about an hour apart.
mouse
can you help me in #hello-engineer
did anyone confirm that its evening?
how do you know Nicky did not wake his parents?
Ted was ready cuz he saw Nicky escaping, and then heard Aaron escaping too
Because if you look back at the times in the different games it’s pretty clear, while Quentin is going house to house, the hunt for Nicky was still going, up until in the lore the evening.
Well Ted was inside his home and spotted Nicky, while he was outside when he heard Aaron breaking out as well, Aaron would’ve been fending him off for a good amount of time, until Quentin arrived.
read his previous messages
that's it
I wonder if the baker is secretly working against the forest protectors
well she seems to be friends with Nielsen, so
idk
IF Nielsen is a fp
idk I imagine Gerda as a fp
She is a cultist
good for her
Any guesses on where Aaron is in GN2?, from the Full Timeline point of view
Depends on the date of GN2 and when Ted's House burns down
I made a guess it was 2035in new lore but it can be anywhere from a few days after HN2 to, like a week before the Time Loop starts in Reset Day
since now Smart-Phones exist during the time of HN2
Right, any hints in reset day?, my memory of that book is pretty bad.
You'd think I'd mention it if there were any
that I remember since I also don't remember too much about Reset Day
Even if there was you'd think someone'd mention it by now
Right
Also there's the fact that GN2 was still early in writing when Reset Day was released
True
Since if I remember right Reset Day came out January 2021 and GN2 came out sometime in September 2021
So Reset Day wouldn't be able to properly reference the events of GN2, maybe a early version of the story but not the final version
So we got nothing to establish a date
Gerda seems to have a short fuse, and I feel like she could be the vengeful type because of that.
Gerda probably does self defence classes for f u n
because she doesn’t even need to try
Hi
Lore explaining from Micheal ig
So as I was explaining in #hello-neighbor, the timeline of events and lore of HN2 is pretty complicated
The tapes is so confusing to understand
Like i dont understand anything
In the patch 4 ones
?
Sorry, my device is on 0% and got unplugged so I had to turn it back on and rethrow in my password then open up Discord again then throw in my Email and Password
So as I was going to type
Ok
The Patch 4 Tapes take place after Peterson flees his household but while Quentin is still knocked out since we got a translated version of a tape where the Mayor and a Police Officer are talking about how they can't find Peterson and that he seems to have hidden the evidence, I honestly don't got a explanation for the other Patch 4 tapes yet
I've heard them but I honestly got no clue what they're meant to mean
Well, them and whatever the frick THEYCROW is
If you fasten the blue casette you hear Guest sounds at the end
I haven't played the tapes in order yet so no I don't got a theory
other then them perhaps being a recording of someone finding the Tunnels
The lore of hn 2 is way to vauge in my opinion
Good thing the roadmap mentions lore exploration
Why was their so little lore in the game
Their focus was on the AS
Cuz they ain't done with the game
Is the tapes new or unused stuff ?
Tapes is new/reused from the Books lore
(reused from the books is referring to Cult rituals and the Tunnels)
So they could give more lore
Nightmare #3 definitely is
It's basically a retelling of the history of the Cult
Nightmare #2 is just telling us how Quentin thinks the situation is
and Nightmare #1 is showing Quentin seeming to have a fear of Mr.Peterson
In Nightmare #3 we see Golden Apple Coins fall from the Crow Statue
This serves a duel purpose
she is?
It both shows what they used in rituals and represents them getting Good Luck from the rituals
then the Crow Statue comes alive and attacks us, representing the Guest being summoned and attacking the Cultists
What really is there to explain about Nightmare #2, Aaron seems to be forced into stuff against his will to Quentin and Peterson seems to just be doing this for fun (hence why his expression never changes)
and Nightmare #1 is understandable as it's just showing Quentin's fear of Mr.Peterson
Is Ted punishing aaron ?
No it's to protect him from the Cult
He can't die if there's nothing to kill him with in the room
And that he killed his sister
I mean, yeah, so it kinda is both
It's a punishment from Aaron's PoV and protection from Ted's PoV
why doesn't he just move from the town bruh
So did Ted really ever go crazy after the events of H&S?
Like not crazy
But
Sort of
You know
coo coo for coco puffs?
I mean he killed a little girl (Lucy Yi) from his amusement park
So he was already coo coo
that was an accident that was mostly GAC's fault for rushing the construction of it, and yes I know he has had more incidents before.
Yeah
Yeah?
What is wrong with Aaron in hn2? He looks like he went back in time
hey guys i have a proplem in hello neighbor 2 the fish head dissapperd i cant find it i tried everything can someone help its not in its place
#hello-neighbor , this chat is for discussing lore, not game
Yeah, I dont understand why Aaron behaves like 5 year old kid while he is actually 13
Maybe he was too scared to talk or smth
Or they just didn't want to hire a voice actor💀
Im not talking about voice. Im talking about his behavior. I dont think 13 years old boy will behave like Aaron in hn2.
I mean he lost his mother and sister and then his Father locked him up in the basement
I dont think he would be emotionally well at this point. Which would explain why he acts like a scared kid
In the books he was very mature, but he was acting like that after the amount of trauma Cuz he was very depressed.
He still wants revenge on the Cultists, which he can only do if he remains in RB
That's about the only answer I got
(and yes I know it's from a day ago Idc)
Yeah
he wants to get revenge by flooding the town
my theory ^
Perhaps
Also tinyCrow: the Roadmap says that they'll add to HN2 "More lore exploration, to shed some light on past and future events of the plot" (I know I said I wouldn't tell you but I am anyways), this means we might get more clarification on Mayak before AS Ep. 18 other then it's appearance in AS Ep. 7
Just mentioning so you know
I’d love to see Mayak as a new location but I don’t know how it could affect the game, if they don’t I hope they add a telescope on the mayors house and if you aim it at the forest you see Mayak.
In lore wise it prob would be big
Ik
Does the timeline for all the HN games make sense?
Who here thinks the books are canon
No one cause they ain’t and they sorta are through the full timeline
ikr this whole group of theorists in a server say they are
Cuz they aren’t canon, the ceo literally said himself
if i told them that they'd say i was a mad man, even though i kinda am
What? Whatever
what you saying what to
Literally no hello neighbor games has any dialogue unless you count:
grunts
hello neighbor prototype cussing liens
Lol what are they
There's a neighbor line where he just screams "Get out of my house!"
Theodore was born in 1955
And reset day takes place when he’s 70
Reset day takes place 2 years into the future ahead of now, 2025.
So that means Mr. Peterson is 68
Key Found, Key Found, Good Day To You!, HEELP!, Neighbor!, YOURR The Neighbor.
Actually No HN2 is in the late 2000s
Proof?
Get out of my house!
Cuz old smart phones and they say cringe all the time
I see you...
They had the same sorta things, also the neighbor dresses in 1970’s clothing
The only thing taking place in the 2000’s is reset day
And plus you have to mix dates cuz of Full Timeline which puts it in late 2000s
Hello Neighbor 1 and 2 took place in 1996
not the 2000’s
No, Reset day was said before AS to be at 2022
and mr Peterson would’ve been 50, he’s 41 in the games
Yeah and cuz of retcon reset day is in the 2040s
Can’t be true, Theodore was born in 1955 and Theodore was 70 during the events of reset day
It’s not 2022
Where did it say he was born 1955
Otherwise he’d be 67 which is not accurate
The author literally said
Have you read the books..?
Yes
And also retcon
We can’t follow the books but full timeline
And in that case we don’t know his birth
But most likely the 1960s
I heard 1955, also that only lowers it and makes it more accurate to why Theodore wore the 70’s looking clothing
He wore it cuz he liked it
So actually act 3 would’ve been 2006 and he would’ve been 70 at 2015
And it was easy access
It’s very specific, I’m pretty sure it takes place before the 2000’s
No, tell that to the retcon
Well you said 1945 atm so I’m just saying it’d be 2006
And then I said there’s the retcon
Seems kinda weird to have 1945 to then 55 and retcon it
Listen, current dates in AS are late 2000s which means act 3 would’ve been 2020s which is close to the games dates, which puts reset day in the 2030s to 2040s
GN2 is sometime 2017 since if it was beyond Act 3 wouldn’t make sense since the houses are rundown
This would put HGs lore implications sometime during 2018
Imagine being Aaron stuck with his dad for more than 40 years
We already knew Mayak was gonna be in AS
What was AS again?
a fancy name for the SN lore destroyer 9000
What
Animated Series
Oh
Why does this look so 3d than the rest of the show?
Hi
Okay so if Peterson made a “weather machine”
Is it related to our hello neighbor story?
What stopped the machine?
Are there any chance of Aron being free from Peterson?
Have you ever read the books, YES it’s like a big thing in the lore
We don’t know where he is after HN2, all we know is he burned down the Peterson house
And Aaron’s dad is Ted so idk why he would leave
Hm alright no I didn’t read the books haven’t had time sorry 😔😅
They work hard on this picture than the the whole plot of AS
true
I like how each episodes has a character that says a line clearly advertising games. EP1 had Nicky talking about the funny learning AI
And the cafeteria lady literally saying "Happy's Humble"
and having the logo everywhere
Yeah, AS is just a cash grab, I think we can all agree on that
"hes always changing things, its kinda like the house is alive.." "he never chases me past his property line! weird huh?"
did you gorget the books also having references to game mechanics
also GN2 having speedrunners
Speedrunners has been a thing since forever as a reference, that makes sense
AS's "references" is just blatant advertising
Hello neighbor 2 house
both speedrunners and totally reliable are age old references
but speedrunners is more older
plus we should'nt forget the references to the game mechanics in the books
box stacking, magnet gun, elevator to Mya's room, fake walls, robotic mannequins, etc.
I wonder if the mannequins are still robotic or thats retconned tooo
One message removed from a suspended account.
And the wasted potiential is they've never done a speedrunners show
What if wife was never died in car crash. Then Peterson will never be villain
Not really, in the books he wasn’t really a good guy even before Diane died
Her dying just made him exponentially worse
That family was prob done even without the curse, the toxicity would be real
Is tinybuild gonna add neural network for real this time?
Nope, most likely not
we should rename this fake mayak to something else
this isn't the real mayak for me 😔
not anymore
That doesnt end the lore
Because funny!
But act 2
Which Act 2 still would've broken the lore, just a lil less
Exactly, just a little less
Oh I forgot canon is flexible

HELLO NEIGHBOR is one of the coolest games out there, and most of the intrigue comes from the INSANE house that only gets crazier in every Alpha! But can a house as...
no theories
Ok there's something I've been wondering for a long time. What happened to the original premise of Hello Neighbor? Originally you were a newcomer moving across the street from a maniac. Now, you play as a neighbor of Mr. Peterson, and your best friends (who happen to be Mr. Peterson's children) have gone missing. What's up with that? The lore would have been so much easier to understand during the alpha stages.
I like the idea of the guest and it isn’t “potentially” it is the lore of him and I like it
But I agree new lore is really bad
I always thought the hello neighbor story had nothing to do with supernatural.
I always thought there wqs a natural explanation in hello neighbor.
There was usually. The Guest was the 1 exception, which I could still see it being just a cryptid like Mothman or Bigfoot
Now there’s like, full-on death curses and a summonable bird demon
Just in hello neighbor 2 or did the supernatural things also apeard in other games, books and other stuff?
And if so is the shadowman a real thing or just a symbol for fear?
It wasn’t in any of the games, and the Aaron trilogy did bring in the bad luck curse but it was based in a bit of science
All the supernatural stuff came with HN2 and the Animated Series
The Thing (Shadowman) is just how HN shows fear and trauma, it’s a symbol
That kinda ruins hello neighbor for me.
Like many other horror games have that super natural things like FNaF.
At that time you was even able to explain FNaF without anything supernatural.
Now you need supernatural to explain it.
Now that's about to happen with HN...
Well, FNAF was always supernatural, but it was more basic
Guy kills kids, bodies put in suits, bodies control suits
Now there’s all this over complicated stuff
Yes, I actually dont want the same for HN.
Is there maybe another way to explain the guest?
Not really. A lil supernatural in HN would be cool, but this is full on cult magic at this point
You could explain him differently before, but idk now with the whole audio of the cult chanting and the Guest slowly becoming louder like he’s being summoned can be explained different now
Hm, you seem to know a lot about hello neighbor.
Can I ask you more stuff?
Sure, I don’t know quite everything as I’ve never read the Aaron trilogy fully
But I can try to answer what I know and what I can guess
Hm, I saw you saying that Aaron burned down his home?
Why did he do that and when?
Well, it’s never been confirmed, and we don’t really know if the home does burn down anymore. Before HN2, we’d assumed it was during the ending of HN1 Act 2 where you could hear glass breaking, inferring Aaron escaped
Now we really can’t say
Okay ,do you kinda know when HN 2 takes place?
HN2 takes place directly after HN1 Act 2
At the very most an hour after Nicky escapes
After???
I always thought that it takes place after act 1 and then HN 2 takes place.
Nope, because Nicky had apparently already escaped by the start of HN2 the same with Aaron
Can we kinda see Nicky somewhere or is he referenced in any ways?
I mean there are some missinf posters of him and zhe big gates around Petersons house are suddenly gone.
Thats why I also always though that act 2 was just about to happen. After HN 2.
Oh, Act 2 didn’t actually happen. Nikita (the creator of HN) explained that Act 1 is a real memory, Act 2 is a twisted memory (not everything happened), and Act 3 was all trauma with nothing being real
Act 2 didn’t really happen, no tall fences or a shark room on the house. Just Nicky escaping through the cellar doors in the back
OH my god, that changes much to me!
I alway thought since HN 1 released that act 2 was also a real thing.
That info is rly important to me.
Thank you!
No problem!
Is there anything else important about HN 1 that I shouls need to know?
Not really. Just that Act 3 was all just imagery for Nicky’s trauma. The Basement was real though, in Act 1 anyway. Until HN2 messed that up
Which who knows the basement could be expanded upon again in an update
We don’t know really
You know what I always thought?
That petersons house is build on top on a bunker, bc of that twisted basement.
That’d be a cool explanation honestly, but really it does seem Peterson dug it all out himself somehow
Btw, was he the previous owner of this amusement park?
I heard that he is and there is that photo in HN 2.
Oh, he wasn’t the owner but he was the designer, architect, and head engineer
He designed all the rides for the Golden Apple Company and oversaw their construction
What happend after that?
I saw you saying that he wasnt a good guy in general, why?
Well, in the books at least his rides have killed around 6 people (including Lucy Yi)
And he wasn’t necessarily a very good father in the books either
Which conflicted with Hide and Seek a bit
In HN hide n seek he looked like a good one.
What did he do?
Yeah.
He lashed out a few times, called his son an Omen on multiple occasions, his entire family was tense around him, and ofc he also intentionally lured Nicky into the basement to cut out the kid with the most evidence and to give Aaron a “friend”
Thats realy twisted, looks like they are changing the story alot.
Nope, the books were made a long while back
The AS is changing all the lore for everything really
The developers are probably trying to adapt the story.
Nope
They’ve gone on the record saying they’re not using the book story
And many things from the AS conflict with or overwrite stuff from both the books and HN1
Like a paralel universe?
Like FNaF also has multiple timeslines.
Not a parallel universe, the AS seems to be the new lore they’re using now
But those timelines explained always a bit from the other timelines.
At least for HN2 onwards
Oof, okay.
Btw the big basement is real right?
Or is this also a twisted memory?
Makes sense.
The big basement was real, isn’t present in HN2 at least.
The books described the basement exactly as it was in HN1 Act 1
Generator with gates blocking a door, a wooden plank hallway with a dirt floor,
Maybe there is a secret door in the HN 2 basement?
So just in the lore.
Not in the game itself.
Maybe
Oh yeah, Ik I asked alot at this point, but what that door in the first floor with that many chains on it?
It’s Mya’s room, at least that’s what it’s called in the files
Is there smth important in it?
Nope, room’s completely empty
It’s fully textured though
Just wallpaper and floor
Bruh, why even lock it.
No idea, guess if they ever want to add more onto the house or they just ran out of time/ideas
Or is this room important, so they locked it to make it kinda cryptic.
Btw is Myas grave still a thing in HN 2?
I wasnt able to find anything like a grave.
Nope, it was completely removed
I mean it was in the HN 2 beta.
We don’t know why it was, but it was
Ans for the story, is it still a thing?
Btw another question (Ik now there are to many), what is the mayak house?
And is it still important?
It’s still important, we just don’t know what for. The Mayak (also known as the Weather Station) may or may not be used to control weather
Wheater station?
Why should be that important?
The Mayak got its name from the original concept art by Nikita (the creator of HN), it being called Mayak-1 (or Lighthouse 1)
In the books it was built by the Neighbor’s parents, Roger and Adelle Peterson, two scientists who moved to town
The Act 1 house used to be theirs, and was The Neighbor’s childhood home
Didn't Peterson actually move to Raven Brooks with his family?
Oh!
Yep. In the books he was born and raised there as a kid, moved away, had a family, then moved back to Raven Brooks after he inherited the house and had to flee Germany bc his ride killed 4 people
Yep
Oh, thats interesting.
Man hello neighbor has for real a interesting story.
Why do they make it so cryptic anyways (atleast for the games).
Funfact: I am from germany.
Which at least Nikita had explained Nicky’s story
Games just don't do a good job at explaining
Btw where does HN takes place on America or Russia?
United States
Yeah
Raven Brooks is a made up town in a real state
Interesting, interesting.
Never thought I could learn alot about HN in this short time.
What actually happened after act 3?
Well. Nicky woke up, and got on with his life
And Peterson?
Until Diaries changed that and now he’s back to made up scenarios in his head bc he can’t remember what happened to his best friend
Or Aaron?
His fate is confusing
As far as we know he’s dead or just somewhere else
And Aaron we have legitimately no clue
No hints no leads nothing said about Aaron
I kinda hope they tell us or give us hints what happend after act 3.
Well, Diaries does go over that but it’s just Nicky in his bedroom having an existential crisis for some reason
Other then theorizing he was the one to burn down the Peterson Household
You said, Peterson was in germany?
Why?
Or did I missunderstood smth.
He was designing a park there
Before he moved back to Raven Brooks he traveled to quite a few countries to design parks
He's built parks on 5 continents
Interesting.
I think I am out of questions, is there still smth else important to mention?
Not sure exactly. We do know he has killed at least 6 people using his rides. Though not on purpose, just negligence
1 on his first rides (known as Bosco Bay), 4 on the ride in Germany (Ferhen Welt I think it was called?), and 1 on the Golden Apple Amusement Park
Mr. Peterson is William Afton. 
Well not even his first ride, one of his earliest
Fine, one of his first rides
(Just joking).
Ride Death #1: Kid flung from cart because the turn was too sharp
Ride Deaths #2-5: Log ride flipped over and drowned the 4 people on board.
Ride Death #6: Lucy Yi’s cart derailed and she died on impact.
Oh wow, did peterson regret it or was it intentional?
It was all on accident, but he doesn’t seem to be too upset about it? And in the first ride he denies doing anything wrong (even though he just admitted prior he made the turn too sharp)
And in the books I think it’s brought up that he doesn’t like safety mechanisms bc they slow down his rides
Hm, I mean he got away with it (like William Afton).
Yep, fleeing the countries and letting the companies that hired him take the fall
Is there anything else interesting to mention about HN in general?
Not too sure. The Cult currently in the lore in the books was exposed and disbanded before Nicky even came to town so that was retconned
Can’t rlly think of much else right now
Oh yeah, did you know that Enzo and Maritza (Detective and Brave) originally had entirely different designs in the books?
Nope, but canon designs are changin all the time I guess.
Yep! Here’s Maritza’s original design (on the right)
Changed literally every aspect about her afterwards lol
Girl in the middle is Lucy Yi, the girl who died on the roller coaster that caused the Golden Apple Amusement Park to shut down
And Enzo in the books was considered kind of an athlete rather than a nerd
Thank you for the many infos!
In return I can give you some infos about FNaF. 
It’s not a problem man! Always happy to discuss HN lore
Even if it’s being changed a lot recently
Oh uhm, last question...
Whats the role of the guest or he is just here?
We don’t know yet really,
In the second Graphic Novel his goal was to flood the town and to “take what people don’t deserve” and stuff that could be forgotten
But I’m pretty certain that’s been changed now
Did he do it?
Nope, the main characters of GN2 stopped him
But he did drown Ted and most likely stole his body
GN?
Graphic Novel
Who was the second main cha?
The main characters of GN2 were Regina and Pris, step-siblings
Idk who they are but thx.
They’re exclusive to that graphic novel
Hwo did they stoppes Peterson?
But yeah here’s the panels of the Guest most likely stealing Mr Peterson’s body
Regina convinced Peterson to try and turn off the weather machine that was going to flood the town
Guest stopped him and possessed his body
Then the place went haywire and exploded after Regina and Pris got out
Bro, the graphic novel just looks sick as hell!
Do you habe more pages?
Could you send them me in DMs?
Can’t rn, these are just what I had saved
You can get the book for really cheap digitally for the kindle app though, if you feel like paying the money
Allright, so the guest is for real a demon!?
Kinda, we don’t know 100% for certain yet
Yeah maybe.
I mean on the first picture the guest seems to come out of nowhere.
welp
this confirms that this is a dream sequence
and Peterson didnt get arrested
how does this even confirm that act 3 is real?
Google: The Guest was revealed to be Theodore Peterson in Hello Neighbor: Reset Day.
Guest is just possesing Mr. Peterson's body in Reset Day.
He is not the Guest
Yea I know that Mr apple
Just showing what the internet said
Since it’s confirm the guest is a creature that can go through walls and has capable abilities of possesion
Yeah he’s basically a demon that the cultist believe as a god
"That cultist believe as a god"
Literally, How do we know that?
@lyric zephyr Sorry for the ping, but you are the man for my HN questions.
How is the act 3 house now a real thing?
We don’t know sense we haven’t gotten the episode, but this does clarify Act 2.
Even though act 2 was a messed up distorted version of the real thing
Is it possible that the shadow man is the Crow man, instead just a fear from Nicky?
I mean the Crow man is also just a demon.
Ans since supernatural is a thing now in HN, its possible that he is the shadow man, right?
thats what iiim sayin
thats the only way for this lore to make sense
but yeah its almost too complex for its own good and no one understands it
damn,bro asked about the entire HN lore
we don't know. we don't know the context yet
Is it possible that the shadow man is the Crow man
no
btw, his name is Guest (the "crowman's")
dude who wouldn't want to steal that body
yeah I hate the story of the second comic.
Yeah, bc when I first looked in this chat, I just found out that I knew nothing about HN.

I see
still better than going to the inaccurate wiki (it IS inaccurate)
or listening to theory videos (those are also inaccurate)

yay nightmare bonnie approves
Actually, I thought I knew alot of things about HN.
Since the release of HN 1, I thoughg that act 2 was a real thing.
oh, in the case of HN it REALLY depends on, which game build or which media are you looking at. by the looks of things, the AS will retcon everything you've seen in HN.
act 2 was real, it did happen, just not the way you see it. the house is exaggerated, this applies to act 3 too.
it's the same as you remembering some old memory from 10 years ago. you cannot remember accurately. especially if it was traumatic.
so the house itself did exist and Nicky did escape, it was just looking different.
My boy bagger ain't even in the poster man
Poor bagger
he's not part of the gang
He isnt??
I hope he actually does something at some point
there are some screenshots, where they fight with Nicky
so I guess they become allies later.
Oh wow, I think I know actually nothing about HN.
it's ok
ask us
I mean the cartoon is an entirely different topic. because it is nothing like the rest of the media (games, books)
we call the cartoon AS (animated series)
I always thought he is....
Bc of Secret neighbor.
Actually the HN wiki also says that the neighbor in SN is the shadow man.

His name is Delroy btw
Bagger
yeah as I said the wiki is inaccurate, very much. we were lucky with the fnaf wiki (I'm a fan since 2015) but the HN one is disaster.
in SN, these kids were allies. they wanted to rescue Nicky. but in the AS, everything happens differently so far.
Delroy
oh and Neighbor is not the shadow man
the shadow man is a symbol, it represents fear itself
Agger
since SN happens in the kids' brain, they see fear as Neighbor
another symbolical stuff
Yeah...
Btw how do you think do they explain the act 3 house if it is a real thing.
Elroy
Oh, so a kinda canon thing!
I always thought its a spinoff.
I'll actually wait until the episode releases
because you cannot explain that
it would be...nonsense
it's like the different Neighbor skins from SN
wow, dreams. oh wow 😐 surprise surprise
I personally take SN as a spinoff, because where are the kids in HN? nowhere.
if you wanna know more, you should watch the Rocket event ending, that confirms what I said.
Actually HN 1 and HN 2 are doimg the same thing, everything happens after the player wakes up again and again.

yeah lol
basically the same, just different main character
RetroDiskette said to me that the devs are kinda rebooted HN.
I mean ist also kinda obvious.
Alex CEO (publisher boss, not developer) said that they will reboot HN too
I personally don't like it.. it's like remaking FNAF 1. unnecessary. that was the base of everything.
Oh, actually I hope they reboot HN.
the books kind of rebooted the story already.
but this is, like the third reboot we get.
FNaF help wanted...
even worse ://
Fnaf plus?
we don't talk about that.
Yeah, but not everyone will will read books or pay for them, if they just can play the games to kinda make there own story.
Right
yeah. honestly, you didn't miss that much.
maybe the kids will be reworked too, so they'll be different from their book personalities
Gger
Actually FNaF plus is a reimagine.
Scott Cawthon and a fangame developer had an argument and the fangame dev told him how he would improve all FNaF games.
So Scott asked him if he can make a remake of the first one.
FNaF plus is not intended to replace FNaF.
This is not a FNaF Chat though
Ik, but we kinda came to the topic.
Back to HN.
we don't really talk about phisnom here, because he actively hates on HN for no reason.
like....if someone dislikes something, they should skip it. there's already enough people hating on HN. he shouldn't encourage his fans to hate the game, especially since he is a ""developer"".
Oh yeah, that stream....
Yeah, very shortly.
yeah, see?
we like fnaf 1 the way it is. if Scott said tomorrow that it's nonsexistent and only fnaf+ exists, fans would be sad. it is not the same.
we have the same with the HN remake / every reboot attempt. they are not the same as the base game.
Though, I dont think most people like HN1 the way it is...
Yeah, Ik, but a Hello neighbor remake coudl kinda rescue the first game.
I would actually like to see a full Hello neighbor reboot and if its already confirmed, I even look more forword to it!
Alex just said they would remake HN1 after they fix HN2
He didnt mentioned a full franchise reboot
they said the same to HN2 and you can see how we are currently
they are improving it now, but during launch, many people were disappointed
I do too
I was talking about the most people on internet
the problem is, they'll entirely reboot the story too
and THAT will cause problems
Wait?
They also want ro reboot HN 2???
No?
Ah. 
They said that?
kinda
many believed
I thought that was just what people thought
I mean...that's why it is basically HN, but with different main character??
gameplay-vise you do the same?? you rescue the child??
How do they want to remake it?
Do they want to make an big update for Hello neighbor or an new game?
True
But this time its more clear that you rescue the child
totally new game.
totally.
This is literally the only thing we know about a HN1 remake
We can only speculate other aspects
I mean, knowing the ENTIRE background story and struggle of the developers of HN
it was still a very good and smartly solved build, which we call the release build
it's not their fault tihngs had to be changed at the last moment
I actually look forword to the remake!
I said the same about SB :')))
also
when does Alex think they finish fixing up the game?
because let's say it doesn't have any bugs anymore
they still need to add chapters for story etc
those will have bugs too
they should be focusing on HN2 entirely
HN 1 plot, its just an video game made by an indie game developer studio with the name Tinybuild.
Dynamic Pixels / Eerie Guest studios is the developer and creator of HN

And they are focusing on HN2??
He didnt said "We started planning HN1 remake"
He just said "Yea we want to do it after HN2"
that's because you don't read between the lines 😉
they started making HG right after HS
Or Eerie gust studios, I just copied the FNaF help wanted plot.
did you know that Steel wool made the two HN2 DLC's?
Yes, they are also making the HN VR game.
ye
you know then, okie
I was actually surprised when I saw it in the search and rescue trailer.
But I mean they are actually VR games developer.
yeah they can do VR better, than free roam.
I still think that the little bunny plush is a reference to FNaF.
The plush in the treehouse.
Me when A Bunny Plushie
(Its a reference to FNaF because Bunny plushies dont exist irl)
My speech. 😂
just update hn1 😭
Yes
I think the bunny was accidental. I don't know if any of the devs actually like fnaf.
and later it was replaced by another bunny
Dude, I already know what FNAF plus is
hn1 remake as fourth dlc for hn2
Any more lore new characters we haven’t met yet? Any returning characters?
Leslie, Guest, Maybe Missing Journalist etc.
No 💀 wouldn’t even make sense, since there both from Polar opposite times, and the cultist don’t know the thing.
Hm I see
Why do we get nothing on the guest?
We will get more Guest in the future
He’s in the cutscene
But that’s it
I do hope so Mr Apple he is very important of course
Idk why we didnt get more of him at launch, but well get him more soon
Isn’t he the face of hn2?
Yea
Yeah bro, I also just found out today that I just know a little part about HN.
Thats why I asked so much. 
All good
And uhh read the books
And then there's some cult...
Yup that cursed Teds family and summons a demon
After I read my FNaF books yes.
Ted?
Dude hn2 takes place before the Gn2
So he’s. Demon
Not Theodore?
It’s his nickname
Theodore yes Peterson whatever
Same guy who put a curse some how
How is the curse broken tho?
Ah.
No he didn’t make a curse
The cult did
Was Peterson involve with it tho?
You can’t but you can gain luck back by collecting GAC
He is the one that got cursed
Then as a curse is is able to be put on someone
THEM
Then there’s a way to take the curse off…right?
I know that
No his parents tried to stop them but got killed and the cult cursed his smiley with forever bad luck
We dont know if is there a way to get the curse off
No only if you get a luck device or GAC
That’s so crazy now Ima add that in my book thanks
Anything else need to be expose about Theodore and the guest
GAC thing is just speculation though
Wdym exposed this been around for a while
We dont know why he collects the coins
Ik
But it’s something to do with the guest
I mean like any secrets in the game
Ok? And how do we know that
Like anything yet discovered lore wize?
Yeah the museum is a hideout used by the cultist the tapes show about and the old recording for the tapes were of the guest being summoned in the museum by the cult
Hm alright then
And the nightmare achievement is Ancient Curse
Yea, But is the crow statue related to Guest?
Lore man thinks it represents the guest and the nightmare is a recreation of the guest being summoned
There was a cult running around town and some of the people look like there involve with it I mean didn’t the major have something related to the cult when you get the key??
Every NPC except Ted are part of the cult
Possible, but still thats a speculation too
The reason they stole the keys is to make sure no one found out about what they were doing in the museum
Or is he?
Ik
He's not a bad guy but he isnt really a good guy either
His main priority’s are to protect his family and get rid of the cult
He's like coo coo
He did go insane
He will do bad like kill some dude in a store with a nail gun for some reason
Yeah, how are they going to explain that one away
How does killing a random Store Clerk help Peterson get revenge on the Cultists in any real way
(also yes I'm calling them Store Clerk since the script says that's what they are)
I mean he went crazy
Bro was like no witnesses
Of my presence
The only one who saw it was Trinity
Cuz he wanted the GAC
Prob saw him holding one
from what i remember they had a remote that would give them good luck and of the residents bad luck.
I don’t think ted killed the store clerk because when he’s pushing his cart he gets it stuck on something and that something is the body.
That’s how I interpreted it
Maybe who knows
he didnt kill anyone. hes just there exactly when they die (prob his bad luck)
I find it weird how Ted’s bad luck curse is just for some reason different from everyone else’s
Like he’s able to collect the cult tokens, and he’s never really been personally/physically harmed until HN2’s ending
While everyone else’s bad luck results in death or injury
He’s just different for some reason
In fact he seems to have good luck compared to everyone else
He’s able to get away with multiple deaths on his rides with minimal consequences, was like physically completely fine after his 2 car crashes, is able to trick an entire town,
Is able to successfully hide a body for months
do we know for sure, that bad luck curse is a thing in the AS?
plus the very basic plot point, where the writers want it to look like he is the one who is responsible for the murders, but haha plot twist, if you pay close attention you can find out, that it was the cult all along, and the kids misunderstood everything
yay funny writing
he was in 2?
Yeah I think he a two car crash in the Aaron trilogy
the police found mya?
As far as we know they still haven’t
oh ok
Not really since technically his bad luck is all of the losses he’s had.
But it’s weird how it functions different only for him
Any ideas on why Peterson is in jail?
I mean beside all the things he did
Who do y’all think caught him red handed?
Perhaps the HN2 Ending Shadow
Since Quentin's fate is unknown, and no one else had definitive proof, he's the only one that could've reported Peterson's Location to the cops
and since Peterson was trapped under a Crow Statue, it'd be easy for the cop to get to him
You can't escape if you can't even move to begin with
He went to jail?
Nah the shadow was probably Norman that’s my guess
What purpose would Norman have in knocking out Quentin
and also there's literally no one else nearby who'd witness that Peterson is in the Museum
Which is what the cops would need to arrest him
Unless AS Ep. 8 or smth does a reveal showing Trinity having been watching the entire time when the ending happens
To protect the Petersons but I see your point and yeah he wouldn’t have known where he was but Norman is still spying on the cultist so he prob would’ve known about the museum
I also mentioned how that doesn't change the HN2 Shadow being the only person who'd know
Quentin's fate's unknown so you can't say for sure it was in a Newspaper article he wrote
and again
There's literally no one else there who'd report Peterson
This makes it harder to believe the HN2 Shadow is Norman Darby because of a conflict in interests
True
The unknown info about Quentin's fate is the only thing that could allow the HN2 Shadow to maybe be Norman Darby unless he betrayed Peterson
Well tiny build posted a image on YouTube Peterson shadow in jail
Really?
Looked more like Peterson as a werewolf
Yeah
SN werewolf skin is canon 
but hes been mentally harmed so so much
this is wildly untrue
dude
the station has a pic of ACT 3 house
which literally confirms that neighbor in jail is sort of a nightmare for one of the kids
How does that mean it's a dream. What if it means they have a pic of the house cause it's a current investigation. Don't say it's a dream without proper evidence
It could be a dream but no one knows right now
cmon
its ACT 3 house
how the heck can it even be real
its possible to build in irl without the water room (in theory)
no one knows
then how are you so sure that he built act 3 irl
Because it happens after HN2 maybe?
Maybe it's ALL an illusion!
ohhh you are talkin about how he took it down so fast?
