I have a question
Is HN2 about the new lore? I mean, is it about the AS' story?
Or the main books story?
No AS takes place during Book 2-3, which was in 1997-1998, and Cuz the dates are moved, that puts it in 2001-2003.
It’s through AS
Okaayy
Thank u
That means, the green house in front of Ted's, is Trinity's, right?

It's Nicky's?
no/yes, we don't even have confirmation if HN2 is following the other games or AS (although it is VERY likely) but based on description the house across from petersons in hn2 is actually nickys
Trinity's is red
Nicky's is described as a green-turqiose
So we dk for now
Okaaay... 😿
ik im sad too
There are three canons, AS, Books and Games, AS is the most canon in lore, while games is second and books is third, Alex said AS is going to have tie ins and connections with the Games.
What he said, which unfortunately this weird overlap of the 3 canons that is currently occurring is causing a ton of plot holes.
I'm throwing myself off of a bridge
Well No, there’s no overlap AS and Games just have some connections, Books is just by itself.
Technically books overlap with games rather than being by itself, although technically there's little to none since books were made after and for the games so it's just getting HN1 and building on it. So I guess you are right, but on another note the house across the street from Mr. Peterson's is Nicky's and exactly described as in the books in HN2, but that's only because it was the same in HN1. I assumed that in HN2 they would replace Nicky's with Trinity's and then do the same to HN1 when the make the remake, but for some reason they didn't. So in conclusion, u are 90% right and also between me and u, isn't that a weird choice from TB?
Well I mean, I don’t think they will change Nicky’s house with trinitys but maybe, also it is very weird they went with trinity as the main character.
Yeah, what's the point of going with Trinity for the AS, but keep Nicky if your trying to connect the games to the AS??
like wth?
Yeah
What are your theories regarding that btw? I have no idea how they could fix that and clean up that plot hole except just saying AS is a seperate timeline (which they will definitely not do, but it's the only way I see that being fixed)
I mean, there’s nothing they can do at this point, the only thing I can imagine they can save is Nicky being friends with Aaron.
No, Alex the ceo already said in the discord that, the books are the weakest canon, basically anything in the books isn’t true until proven canon in AS.
You should first read the books to understand the fundamentals
After that
Check out AS to understand the canon lore
RN in lore discussion were mainly handling on the museums co existence with the cult
There are about 7 books, AS stands for animated series, and yes there a cult, here I have a link for you, that is based around something called the Full Timeline (not an actual full timeline) that doesn’t have high detail but will help you understand the lore a bit, also it’s not canon but is a mix of all canons: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-nvlX7K7ljW_pXHPHPFJZmIX79Gs_Jew2_Z2J2eCzxE/edit
Hello Neighbor Full Timeline A Mix Of Books, Animated Series And Games This Is Not High Detailed Let Me Know If I Ever Miss Anything Before: In 1955, A Couple Named Roger And Adelle Peterson, Would Have Their First Child, Named Theodore Masters Peterson, Theodore Was A Very Creative Child, An...
There’s a lot that it doesn’t explain
No it’s slathered through books
The timeline is missing HN1
And act 3
Also some stuff to Realised is half of all of the things in there isn’t actually true it very outdated
Well In books it’s 1945, but cuz AS moves dates up it’s somewhere in 1955
Nah, all we’re waiting for is more episodes of AS to see what is still canon and since AS is the real lore
Yes, AS is the actual thing, while books is the base.
Books used to be canon
But after AS it no longer really is
No
Basically Alex the ceo decided to make some profit by making a cartoon show, but decided not to follow the book lore, and spiral out and decide to make AS the canon.
Well in the timeline yeah
But in the canon no
Act 3 is the latest
It used to be reset day but that’s a book so…
Alright listen that timeline was a CONCEPT from like a year ago
I can give you the actual lore if you want
Alright prepare cuz this is gonna take a bit
Here we go:
Sometime 1950-60 a couple by the names of Roger and Adelle Peterson, have a son named Theodore masters Peterson (the neighbor), now it’s unsure what is still canon in books, but in the books he becomes friends with a kid by the name of Ike Gershowitz.
That’s the beginning part
Let me know when that sinks in
Yes but AS takes place in early 2000s
If I was to guess he would be 48.
During AS
Alright should I continue
Ok
Theodore or his nickname Ted, would be great friends with Ike, but keep in mind we don’t know if he’s still canon, Roger and Addelle were famous meteorologist in the town they all lived in Raven brooks, they would work in a weather station deep in the forest.
Do you know what hello guest is?
Have you ever seen the ending for the prototype of the game
It’s ok if you haven’t
Ehh no not really also the bird man is called The Guest and no he isn’t Ted but sorta is
We’ll get to that in a bit
Basically in that ending you would see a building
Here lemme pull a picture of it
Sorry it took a bit
Here it is
This is a concept version but this is the weather station also known as Mayak
Shall I continue
Alright
One day on there way to work in the weather station, they saw a large nest on a tree, the size of a human, the were intrigued and decided to look deeper, they would discover that the local legend in raven brooks of these creatures call forest protectors, was actually a cult of people dressed in raven suits and cult clothing.
No like I said well get to him
Or I should say IT keep that in mind
Continue?
They would get deeper into it, and find out more of there secrets, such as them having cursed ritual items called luck devices.
Currently we don’t know if there still canon
But most likely are
Ok so, they would find out more and more, Theodore and his friend Ike would be there as they did these things, Theodore’s parents would discover more and more, so much that they even rigged underground tunnels across the whole town.
Alright
I should explain what luck devices are
Luck devices are cursed items that will grant the user good luck, but can have the side effect of giving bad luck to others.
Basically
But the cult also has the ab to give family’s horrible cursed bad luck forever
And the only way to fix it
Is with a luck device
Continue
Alright
Theodore and Ike would explore the tunnels, but soon, the people who fund roger and addelles research in meteorology would take out there funds
Should I explain who the people who took the funds out are?
Aight
There a family of very rich people known as the Tavishes, they own a company in raven brooks called the golden apple.
Now that they funds are gone, they don’t get the right resources, which lead to violence from them, they would use the underground tunnels to get to the tavishes factory, “the golden apple factory” and burn it down.
Now for context the golden apple is a candy company that makes golden apple shaped candy
Continue
Soon after Theodore would get the news that his parents are missing.
Theodore knew it was the cult, and that his parents got close to the TRUTH.
And by truth I mean connected to the guest
Theodore would later in his life become a theme park engineer and build famous theme parks across the world, he would leave raven brooks to Germany, and marry a women by the name of Diane, and have 2 kids with her, the oldest Aaron, and youngest Mia.
No in The US
Yup 👍🏻 which is soon to get too
Theodore would build a theme park in Germany with a ride called fernweh welt, now keep in mind this is book territory, so we don’t really know if it’s still canon.
Not games, but AS there are 3 canons AS, Books and games, books is meat canon and is the base, AS is the canon and connects somewhat with Games.
Continue
One day a group of kids die on the fernweh welt ride, forcing Theodore to run out of the country back to his old home in raven brooks, with his family.
BRB
Alright I’m back
Now before I continue this is going to get deep into the lore, so give me your questions now.
Aight I’ll ping you tomorrow at like 10:00am PST that sound good
And we’ll continue from there
Cya
эм
Yo @tribal talon I’m back you wanna continue?
hes asleep
Ahh
so I don't know nor do I care about the new AS lore, I'm more of a OG kind of guy
Maybe, while saving Nicky from Ted's basement, having a base across the street would make things easier, for animation, and script
Since Trinity is still the leader, that would be a useful advantage for the kids
And, i know, that at least in HN2 and Hello Neighbor Search and rescue, there's some kinda tree-house, which would be kids' base across the street
This tree-house would be Trinity's property
The leader
So, maybe, the reason of why they swaped protagonists between Nicky and Trinity, is to have a better way to save Nicky
Not that important maybe, but wanted to share my guess of why they messed up the lore
And thinking more about it, i think that confirms whose house it is across the street in HN2
(i also want to apologize for my bad English, it isn't my native language, i just hope u guys can understand what i'm saying)
Well no, in game canon that would be Nicky’s.
In game canon, the green or blue house across the street of the Peterson house is Nicky’s.
Hello people! I'm new to the Hello Neighbor community, and I wanted to know the full story, you know? from the beginning, is there anyone who can help me with this?
I don't feel like typing
The lore is so long
Let's see: Adele and Roger Peterson move to Raven Brooks, which is were most of the story takes place
Adele is a teacher ||i think|| and Roger is a weatherman
No
Dang already wrong
Ok you explain the lore then
Ok thanks
Np
Ok so here’s the lore
Simplified
i made an 8 minutes summary
u can watch it if u want. (im not gonna post the link, cus mods will consider this self-promoting)
Here hold up
Read from here all the way down and when you finish the part where I stopped I can continue it if you want: #lore-discussion message
He literally went on and then asked for the lore and went offline
But if I post the link
This is a very short recap of the lore of Hello Neighbor, based on the game, book and animated series. Of course, several details of the story have been skipped for the sole-purpose of avoiding spreading misinformation, also known as "speculation theories".
Enjoy, and tell me if you want to see more!
thanks, amigo

Lmao
They'll likely get back on later though
I like the amount of time skipping that makes it so funny
But I’m guessing this was based through the FT since it seemed like it
But you got a 👍🏻
ah, I understood a little of the story. I already know some things about Hello Neighbor, but I hadn't delved into the story.
I'm a """content creator from Brazil""" and for a while now I've been trying to create a timeline with the complete story of HN, from its beginnings to what it is today. The problem is that it seems that they are rewriting history, which makes me more and more confused.
Yeah they are
Ik its horrible
They should just stick to one consistent story
I have always been thinking of making a like 30 minute storyline video but you perfected it lol @wicked heath
I'm going to make a video about it, but I'm going to get as much information as possible.
Have you played any of the games?
Here lemme give you something: the working theory rn for the guests origin is he’s an entity summoned by the cult if you want proof I can give you it, but keep in mind it’s just a theory.
That has an 80% chance of being right
k im here
Aight
So basically
There’s a working theory on the guest rn that we’ve been working on for a good while
You wanna hear it
yup
Alright
So basically you know how there’s the giant crow statue in the museum
yeah
And you know how in nightmare 3 we find out it’s full with GAC
GAC is golden apple coin
Yeah
ok continue
So that got a lot of people such as myself and lore man thinking, why would there be golden apple coins in there
And then we realised
Since everyone in town except Ted is a cultist and they have the keys to the museum
They obviously used the museum as a hideout
Since it’s abandoned
So, the cult used the museum, but for what purpose?
this spells out what are they doing here right?
Yeah kinda
It spells “What are they hiding”
So what are they hiding
In a couple days we got patch 2
Which gave us tapes
But when playing the original tape recordings, it sounded weird
yeah
You would hear echos and humming with guest clacking
Those hums would be cultist
that makes sense
And the sounds of doors opening are the same as the museum, and the ambiance is museum ambiance
And there’s echos so they were in the attic
And the clacking was confusing, but lore man figured it out
The clacking were very unhinged which meant they weren’t natural
Those clacks were the echos of the guests consciousness
As in the books it explains the guest has conscious ability’s
he controls ted in "the raven brooks disaster" right?
Yes at the end
But
The clacks would get louder in the tapes when in order
Which meant it was being pulled
It was being pulled into a physical form
By the cult
And at the end one loud growl came out that wasn’t hinged which meant it was physical
At the end they summoned the guest
But, the guest would be disobedient
It ran off
so how did he end up in the cage
They summoned it in the cage
It broke free and ran
And it ran
The same night Quentin caught Ted locking Aaron
That’s why the guest was running in a hurry
And that’s why Quentin almost ran into the guest
away from the museum, oh my god
But
this make alot of sense so far
After that, the keys were stolen,
The cult locked the place up so no eve since would get out
That’s why each cultist locked the key away
So no one finds evidence
But you may be wondering why they did it
yup
Cuz the guest is the controller of the luck
He literally has control over luck
That’s why they have luck devices
And GAC give luck
The cult thinks he’s their god
That’s why they built a statue of it and gave offerings by filling it with GAC
is that why in AS the neighbors collecting GAC
Yes to gain luck back after being cursed
But that’s a theory in the GAC
We don’t know for sure
But the guest may be a demon
I mean it has demonic ability’s
And in Mythology the raven man is a demon
This could also explain the guest insane speed it’s ability to clim it’s EMP ability’s it’s high jumps
It’s claws
It’s demonic clacking
All of it
So any thoughts @pliant estuary
it makes sense, all of it, thx for explaining it to me
Yeah np but keep in mind it’s not confirmed but literally half of everything literally implies it so it’s a high 95% chance
But we have to see in AS since the guest will be in there
true
Also there’s this:
I’m not a lore master I only proposed the idea of the guest being a curse
Oh yeah forgot to mention that
Nightmare 3 is supposed to be a rein at of what happens the day the guest was summoned
And the achievement name is ancient curse so the guest might be a big curse
Since it makes a lot of sense, was implied in tapes then this is a high likely hood.
But yeah that’s that
cool
in the eyes of the lore, you have seen everything so that makes you a Lore Master
as a fellow lore master, I dub thee, Master Sh1mp
Well thank you
Theres only one true lore master in this server
And it’s not yo-, In all seriousness it’s Michealhuff, the lore man.
Then who
although Michael is def close
Then who
The one and only Tiny Crow
Oh yeah good point but he’s barely in here
Hey: Its like the king of FNAF. Hes barely here, and yet hes still considered king
True
But recently he’s kinda disappeared and barely had any new knowledge
But I guess so
question how was the guest summoned and what is he? (and i know it was by the cult but i mean exactly how)
We don’t know but probably through a cult ritual
so hes some empty weird spirit thing
I'm a BOOK lore master, in order to watch a episode of AS I have to reread every book right after, so I don't go crazy
Lol
No a curse, an entity basically.
oh wow
Alright I got something to talk about today, so Uhh, in Teds house in AS there’s an extra floor.
that's why AS is dumb
Yeah but I wonder what the extra floor is
One message removed from a suspended account.
Yeah there is one
Is the Hello neighbor series connected to the game??
You mean the animated series? If yes then no, but it apparently is going to have tie ins.
Anyways any ideas on what that extra floor is for, guessing it’s for an Attic.
Yea the animation series
It’s odd out of honesty what’s the point of the series if it won’t be cannon you know?
Flexible is a canon term
Well than do y’all think we may see the guest again?
It is canon
He’s gonna be in AS:
Oh thanks for letting me know I hardly get on discord 😭👌
Tf is AS
I think the son of Peterson is the thing
Do y’all think Peterson is a bad guy?
Animated Series
Nah but he's not a good father nor a good person
Anyways Nicky’s house is where in AS?
Yeah that's it
I imagine that Trinity's house is the one you are in when you are in the SN lobby
And that the lobby is Trinity's front yard
Plus she's leader so it might make sense for it to be her yard
Ahh
Well No its by Nicky’s tree house, since in game canon it’s Nicky’s house only in front of Teds
In the game it isn't infront of Ted's house
Its like a house down from being right across from Ted's house
pretty sure nicky's house is where trinity's is
Yes
Than again no one is perfect
Yea true
But yea I kinda agree
ue4 widget diagram 😨
Thats Blender
I always image AS not existing
true, i'm one of tiny crows disciples
michael is just a relative
So any theory’s on the sewers in HN2, we already know there gonna be in HNSR, but it seems the cult has a plan, don’t know what it is, but seems to be a picture of the sewers.
That or maybe the plan is just what’s planned on being added
theory 1 (already true): frame drop
maybe they will take you to new places in later patches, but I hope those places will be on separate map, because we'll get 10 fps again
That’s how I interpreted it but I could be wrong
Yeah
Hi
Yeah what’s up
I’m starting to think maybe the cultist summoned the guest in the sewers
But probably not
Maybe, but wouldn’t make sense until we have more proof, the sound in the tapes are the same as the museum so most likely not but we don’t know yet.
Also can you please explain what does we know about the guest origin right now ?
I’m still so confused
As you can possibly be
Sure
But it will be quick
The guest is a conscious entity that the cult used a ritual to summon him in the attic cage of the museum, to become a physical entity, the cult summoned him because they believed him as a god.
How do you believe they made him physical
We don’t know
Like it can’t just be chanting
But the echos are low frequency which means it wasn’t physical until the last bit where it was the opposite which is physically made
Prob cursed ritual items
Why does the guest look so small in the intro
My guess it was the item the investors took from the museum
And almost innocent
He isn’t it’s cause of the view
Well I mean that was the night it ran from the museum
Well I mean prob lurking about
He isn’t in the game rn so we don’t know really
Also about the sewers
There gonna be in HNSR
Ik
But the blueprint is most likely going to be a hint to a map expansion
Who stole the keys ?
Like a sewers under the map
The cultist
They didn’t steal them
That’s just what the town though Happened
Also nightmare 3 I can’t understand
Still
It’s so confusing
Like how are we supposed to understand
It’s a reimagine of what happens when they summoned the guest, basically Quentin realized the truth.
Cuz they used the statue to fill it with golden apple coins as an offering to the guest
?
It moved as it represents the guest being summoned and it falling on Quentin represents it running away
Did the cult not create the guest
No the guest is an ancient entity/curse and controls the luck
Gotta go
Ok
Wdym by consious entity
?
Sorry I just wanna know
Attempt to explain Late Fees
yes its canon
How does Peterson have time to make the house from act 3
no clue
What if there was a plot twist
likely from a nightmare
What if it was all trinity dream
no
Crazy plot twist
just no
Ok
In GN2, he could make people hallucinate, and entree their minds and dreams/nightmares.
My bro Ted literally commited a doctor octopus
He was driven to do evil things by smth in his brain (goose)
He made a machine that would destroy the city
He was reasoned and drowned trying to fix his mistake
Then possessed by the guest fully
He wasn’t being told to do things by the guest, all the things he did was his opinion, until he tried to stop it all, and the guest came for him, since he couldn’t possess that one girl in GN2.
no way HN2 final ending
neighbor dies
would actually be sad though if the neighbor does die
There’s hints that he dies after getting choked by the guest, and the guest is just using his dead body.
oh yeah
I feel like they would make his death more dramatic in the game though
when I saw the page where the neighbor drowned to death it was sad but I didn't feel anything I mean I felt bad a little bit
ok so, I was playing HN1 (32 bit test version, idk why but I prefer this version) when I found this house, its the only house on the street with a brown fence, every other fence is white. but that's not the weird part. the weird part is that it has a grave in the backyard, here are some ss
You sure that isn't just a random pile of dirt?
true, but it is the same model as Mya's grave in act 1
There are other dirt piles
Just detail
It’s been a bit, but what are catacomb rooms?, did I miss some lore am I going crazy?
they kept replacing that random pile of dirt to places btw
they had one pile of dirt since alpha 3, so
they used that
That seens kinda of familiar to me, i don't know why:
Hi
Yeah what’s up
Before they summoned him depkis duh
The guest was an ancient curse/entity that has lived for a long time
He wouldn't exist before then
Yeah he did wha-
Oh my god
Nightmare 3, explains the guest is an ancient entity.
What is an ancient curse like what counts as it
Well maybe bad luck but since nightmare 3 is symbolic to the guest it’s prob on the guest
All good
So before they summoned him was he like a ghost
No a conscious
IT was a demon
Like did he just float around in the air lol
No he was like, how do I explain it
It’s like some folklore entity type stuff
?
He exist outside the physical plain, so the cult brought him into it, basically like angels, they don’t exist in the physical plain.
Now keep in mind the guest is most likely a demon
Oh and I’m kinda confused what does ancient curse mean like
Is it by people cursing people
The guest is an ancient entity who has existed for a long time, the curse, is because the guest is a curse, it’s a curse to raven brooks ever since it was summoned.
Was guest kept in a cage for a long time
No, it was in the attic cage after being summoned, a week before Quentin arrived, and escaped the night Quentin saw Aaron get pulled by Ted, the cultist probably tried to befriend it and praise it as they believed it as their god.
Do you think guest was originally meant to be the neighbor during early development
Nah
Many teaser and leaks seem to imply it
Well no, but during Hello Guest development it was supposed to tie in with GN2 and Reset Day, as in one scene you would see Ted possessed disfigured inside the guest suit.
That sounds disturbing
Yeah
The goal was to stop the guest from causing a massive storm
Originally hn 2 was gonna take place after act 3 ?
With the Mill
Well, yeah Hello guest.
Honestly that wouldn't been nice
But instead
We got a sequel with a useless timeline
Lol exactly
If I was to say
If the theory of the blueprint in the sewers being a map expansion for a sewers is true
Than I might lean on the Guest lurking down there
That would be cool
But I guess it works (kinda)
To me he should be in the amusement park or just the town
I mostly prefer the guest stay hidden in the shadows around town
Imagine your goal is to turn on generators down there to get the power back in, but your being stalked by the guest.
Agreed
That would be cool
Something like hello guest
Yeah
I hope hello guest eventually gets reused and becomes a third game
Prob not since there making a HN remake
Agreed just leave the game alone
Yea true
Hope we get an story update soon
Prob not till like patch 12
The guest I think will be added in like 10
But currently there’s a high chance for a new character in the next 3 patches
Why did they make it real why ?!
Ahem…Leslie…Ahem
How do you think he will function?
Prob a side quest character is my expectation
I hope they don’t make the guest a side quest
Of course not
He should be the final boss
Gotta go
Ok bye
So what are catacombs
They appear to be a sewer-like area going under all of Raven Brooks
There's also ||a GA Coin, implying someone died down there||
they're probably the new-lore Tunnels
which is further supported by the name
Catacombs are (if I remember right) a burial place with religious connections
and the Tunnels are a place connected to a "religion" of sorts, that being the Cult
That’s in the 3rd episode of the hello neighbor animated series I think
I think that hints the cultists?
the symbolism of HN2 is messed up entirely
yeah i was thinking. that the "sewers" are actually just tunnels
Ahh makes sense
So that must mean the Cult picture was depicted inside the catacombs
So the tunnels are most likely connected to the catacombs
If I was to guess it was most likely missing journalist who died.
Same
wait
didn't Ike die in, like
the sewers, or tunnels
they are literally recycling his story
Didnt Ike died in a peppermint vat?
Ike wasn't only humiliated with the vat
his story is now taken away
the body was thrown into one
but Aaron finds his wallet in the tunnel
I think he was murdered in the tunnels and then the corpse was taken to the factory and Cleave hid it in the vat
I thought quentin would be ike but retconned
Or something like that
The same person but alive

Its a piece of Mr. Peterson's sweater
its John Cena
text that you can hear
this one is tricky
since they entirely changed the story once again...HG Quentin was most likely Ike, because they share hilariously similar treats
but since HG Quentin was literally scrapped, Carly killed him off.
and HN2 Quentin was going to be Norman Darby, but then not, and he became a third character, who isn't in the books
One message removed from a suspended account.
if you logically go through the story.. there's just too many things matching
I think we've had some writer issues here, rather than lore
Here’s the problem HG Quentin bring Ike was a theory, HG was originally taking place after GN2.
But they both worked for the same company eyes and ears security
Oh really?
Oh yeah
GN2 didn't exist when HG was made
Still I think that was what they were hoping for
They had a similar plot in the background to GN2 around this time
Since SN has warning posters talking about a Hurricane
Yeah
However there's another thing
HGP and Book 4 seem to reference both a event with kids going into the Forest and encountering what is later revealed by the books to be a Forest Protector
but in HGP it's the Guest
True
Guest was most likely an early Forest protector character
Indicating that HG was meant to be around the same time as the Forest Protector rumor was going around
Which is 1991-1992
True
We don't know the original plot of Book 5-6 from before the HN2 Reveal so we can't say for certain when they wanted Ike to die
Book 4 prolouge indicates Ike was meant to die at some point
Since who else could that have been
So it could’ve been Ike, but if we go further into detail, HG Quentin worked in the GAAP as a night shift guard, same with Ike, only difference is Ike worked in the forest near the park.
Where it would’ve been
But with the original plan for when Ike dies being unknown, he could've been meant to survive until what later became Puzzle Master after they changed the lore
Yeah
Yeah
There's just one little flaw here
The HGA1 Intro
Since that Implies Quentin was recently hired
True…
But that could've been explained as simply being Ike being moved back to guard the abandoned park
ALSO let’s talk about the similarities with them
Also, just because Ike is Quentin doesn't mean Quentin was Ike, Ike is Carly's interpetation of what they knew of Quentin
Ike has a little bit of a walrus type mustache while Quentin has more like a Dr. Eggman mustache
they could've somehow be similar their hairstyles are sorta the same
Just like with Forest Protectors seeming to be a interpetation of the Guest but not actually the Guest
(Also just gonna say Beatrix wasn't in Book 4 since she probably wasn't created yet, just putting that out there)
Still Goldy is right in that the Mustache is different
Also Ike doesn't have glasses
The image of Ike looks more like the Clipboard Image in HG but still it's very clear the characters have some differences
I used to think that Ike changed his name to Quentin and changed his mustache
during the Hello Guest era
(We do not talk about Quentin's Eye Color being different here)
Well I mean who knows he might’ve not been wearing them in the picture but who knows it’s just a theory rn
(that's just how concept art Quentin looks like (and the Clipboard uses Concept Art))
Never said if I remember right
Either Brown or Green (only putting Green out there since Brown Eye Quentin seems to have been a design mistake they chose to never fix)
Those are my guesses for Ike's Eye Color
true
if they did continue HG I'm guessing we'd probably get some kind of plot twist
tied to Ike
Hello Guest just had so many unanswered questions
Like the Trapdoor under the Security Post
or the Mill
oh yeah the trapdoor
hello guest was a cool game but they turned it into an open world game I mean the decision was nice but hello guest felt really nice and eerie
like it would've probably made people think HN can be scary again
Maybe the ending would’ve been HG Quentin getting mauled in the tunnels
that's what I would say
Got a feeling that was made into the Tunnels for the Books
HG had Rated T as its placeholder rating
it probably would've been Rated T ngl it just seemed like one
All they have to do is make the guest stalk you at nighttime in HN2 and it will be scary again
Gotta go
cya
cya
Yeah
the fight scene was epic in HG
Too bad they decided to not even show it in HGA1
just imagine how Hello Guest would've been if they never made it into HN2 it probably would've answered a ton of questions from the books
I mean HN2 will definitely answer some questions in future updates
You had to go through the files or use a mod just to view arguably the best cutscene created for HN2
hello guest was really scary and also they tried out something new I liked the stalking AI
Yeah, too bad those are non-canon because they "dOn'T aDaPt WeLl To AnImAtIoN"
Yeah, because they just reset the lore so they could make a cartoon
the guest will probably have this stalking AI once he comes back
Gordon Cleave may not even be called Gordon Cleave anymore
Those Questions are about what from the books is being kept in the canon
Lucy Yi is still probably canon to HN
Buddy, he was never in the games, he could be non-canon now
no I meant he was in the books my mistake
The closest character to him is MitH
and he only still exists because SN Event from 2 years ago
yup
Yeah, being in HE and SN kinda makes that the case
MITH will most likely be an important story addition to HN2 if they do add him back which I think they will
They prob won't
They got Missing Journalist to replace him
wouldn't make sense but you may be right
They could easily wipe MitH from the canon and never use him again
they keep changing the story for HN since a lot of stuff already got retconned and changed
the HN lore is confusing to understand
since the books aren't canon anymore
I mean some of it is still
Yep
Nickys parents are still canon probably
Just need to make the SN event be another character we don't knowmuch about like the Missing Journalist andhe'd be gone
pulls out RBBArchives and you're right
(For context they're name-dropped by something in the RBBArchives)
did random user make this model?
Second sentence
thx though
Stop spamming that image or a mod might mute/ban you
It's not even on-topic since that's not even a actual in-game model
curious about this part
or anything from or officially relating to the Game, that's a fan model that if anything goes in
(Talking to Theodore Masters Peterson)
Perhaps they plan to give more details about characters as we meet them in the AS
yeah
I mean the Under Construction tape leads to the AS Website
oh yeah it does
So it's gotta be connected to the AS somehow
I wonder if Mayor will sound like his audio cassette or something similar to it
for some reason I imagine the Mayor's voice to be like Lotso's from Toy Story 3
he just has the vibe
Like when we meet Mr. Otto in Episode 3B they'll add a page for Otto, or when whatever sub-episode of Episode 3 we meet Leslie in is released they add a page for Leslie
happy guy on the outside but probably evil in the inside
I mean.... he IS a cultist
Probably new-lore's version of Marvin Tavish
I agree
they'll probably keep his name as Tavish
unless they retcon his name to something else
Just like how Keith Nielsen is new-lore Keith Newsom as confirmed by Devlog 3
yup
Probably keep his last name Tavish but change his first name
Since they only need to keep the part people will recognize it seems (Newsom is mainly called Keith by the books so that's prob why they kept the first name)
Makes sense
Then again these are the "World Class Writers" we're talking about
you're right
They'll probably do something no one expects with her like make her related to Leslie or smth
(which'd make her name Gerda Leslie unless they retcon Leslie to be a first name)
I can imagine them making Gerda Theodore's childhood friend that she forgot about
I actually feel like that might happen for some reason
Let's look at the Age difference
They both came from Germany most likely
Theodore still has potential evidence that he could've been born in RB depending on how much Mayak lore they keep
However there's a chance he was born in Germany
Then again Gerda was probably born in RB
At the very least she's there at around 10 years old
(Cite notation: this article from the RBBArchives)
Since she's one of the Trick or Treaters (most likely Alien Kid) she was in RB at around 10 years old
So there's a chance she and Theodore could've met when Theodore was in his 30's
Doesn't seem likely but it's possible
Back
Welcome back
Why wouldn’t he be born in RB
Oh right
…
AS
So what do we talk about
I mean there's whatever the GA Coins actually do
We've only gotten hints at what they do
sorry if I didn't respond earlier I had to do something
Yeah
It's ok
alright ya'll
I have been inactive on this server for weeks
what did I miss bruh
also I have a new theory about the current timeline
and I wanna discuss the AS new teasers, patch 6 lore updates, etc.
yeah with the new timeline the books are basically their own thing now
so the books have versions of characters from the current retcon/timeline
instead of quentin we got norman darby
The sewers are catacombs basically the new lore tunnels, the tunnels still exist but most likely are part of the catacombs.
Also There’s a GAC in there which means someone died in there, most likely Missing Journalist.
Oh that's interesting, we know that the tunnels still exist in the new lore since we got a teaser for AS showing what looks like the tunnels
Also the Cult picture in the museum
Yeah I think it's for missing journalist
Also the Blueprint is most likely for a content expansion update
Yes, and honestly I feel like the retcon version of the luck devices from the books is just the golden apple coins
but also that wouldn't make sense since they represent death
not lunk
*luck
so idk
Well No the current theory suggest that the GAC give you like 1+ luck, which could explain why Ted is collecting them as he’s trying to gain luck to outweigh his cursed bad luck.
Oh that's a good theory! That's likely
Ur right
Which explains why the cult filled the Raven Statue with them as a offering o the guest (Murder)
Well No, don’t give me credit
Give credit to the lore masters who came up with it and fit it together
kk
Also I have a new timeline theory
While I was inactive it got me thinking right
The books are it's own thing now, so now the current timeline is AS and games
Well, Books are like the base, they give you the main knowledge, AS tells us what is still canon from the base of the books.
Yeah, but I got this theory
Give it
When they make the HN1 Remake, some people think it'll be remade as a big content update. I highly doubt this, I think it'll be released as a seperate game (maybe called Hello Neighbor: Remastered?) but when it is made, if they change it to fit the AS, and it isn't an update but rather another game so the old one is still playable, then theoretically you could include hn1 in the "old timeline" (books and graphic novels) and maybe in the "new timeline" it'll have games, new HN1, AS, etc.
and think about it. In hn1, act 3 house is part of a dream. but now, in AS, it's "irl" and canon. so...
That’s most likely the case also it would most likely be called Hello Neighbor: Remake, but I think it will be in the Game Lore version not AS, and what I mean by that is like stuff like, Nicky’s house being across the street, as in the games it is.
yeah ig, it's just I assumed that if they did make a remake they would fit it as the AS (trinity accross the street, etc.) but the fact nicky lives across the street in HN2 still, despite AS and HN2 being connected kinda disproves it
Honestly I just wish it was two timelines, games and AS, and the other, books and "old hn1"
Yeah
Also they most likely blocked off that catacomb to make sure no one would find it
Explaining why there’s a hole puzzle to get to it
well yeah ofc
Also mayor was most likely the one who did it
Yeah
Also we now have proof the Mayor is Tavish
but whats up with the games? I thought TB said it was the same canon as the AS
explain
They said they interlude with connections
The Fountain the Park is owned by The Mayor, and what’s on top of the fountain, a golden apple, not only that I just remembered the mayor has mini golden apples around his house.
Well kinda Games and AS are connected just some differences here and there.
well yeah i thought this was obvious (no offense)
so... 3 different timelines?
Yeah but now it’s more obvious
Yes they are different timelines but are connected in a lot of ways
man that kinda sucks
I think it's better if the games were the same timeline as either the books or AS
Games is a AS timeline just some miniature change of details, such as Nicky’s house nothing big lore changing.
(kinda, some of the changes are a little huge
Kinda
to the point where u say to yourself how even though games is an AS timeline, there's so much book related stuff (especially older games) to where theres the same amount of similarities the games have with the books that the AS has with the games
and at that point it could be part of any timeline, or it's own
Yeah
I think that no matter how many new content we get, no matter how many times we ask TB about it, we'll always just get the answer "canon is a flexible term", and this is bc honestly, TB doesn't even have a solution to these plot holes
so to have the best result and cleanest timeline possible, the best is to probably just assume they are 3 different timelines
because then u have no plot holes, but a little bit of a less interesting story
but it's the outcome that makes the most sense
Well I mean Alex definitely wants AS and Games to be connected
exactly, which is why he needs to start fixing plot holes rather than making more 💀
Yeah
if he wants that make the HN1 remake fit the AS
change the house across the street in HN2 as part of a content update
guess i gotta change my timeline now..
honestly with this new realization I might change the whole layout
Lol
Also
There’s also the blueprint
There's many theories about this blueprint but it's probably just a map for the catacombs but also some sort of plan
I think the catacombs/sewer isn't finished yet and they are planning and working on it
Prob a content expansion
Eh, teaser to a content expansion/map of catacombs/plan for catacombs
if we are talking lore
but it's just a teaser at most
Yeah
working on my timeline rn, I wanted to make the layout a bullet-point type thing but I can't fit 3 almost like lists on one vertical "page"
so it's not the cleanest layout
Again about the books having their own versions of game characters,
another is Missing Journalist is basically game version of Ike
Officer Leslie is game version of Officer Tapps
Updated Timeline
Completely reworked how it was made, Now seperated into 3 different timelines in a nice order
👍🏻
it rlly just some sort of layout
Me replying to an almost year old stuff be liek:
That voice is from Mr. Meat by cringy kepler horrible games (ig you obviously know it). Idk I just wanted to say.
serves as a guide to new fans
and i provided dates
but if I want it to be a timeline, not a list, I might add short summaries of everything to them
Mr meat voice be ps1ing the whole performance
Yeah we think same
This connects to the animated series
Well in the Canon lore of Quentin’s Journey, he’s never caught or spotted by any of the people, the only canon time he gets spotted is when Ted caught him in the Attic, that’s also the only canon time he’s caught.
Well yeah the Sewers are catacombs
Yeah Nicky comes across a tunnel
The tunnels are connected to areas that are attached to sewer areas that are blocked off for cult reasons, these are catacombs.
So he did tell?
Yeah I can’t find it but he said sometime Spring ep 3,4 and 5 would come out
Yeah
I think scout is the traitor
Mr Peterson has the cookies scout was selling
Plus it was either her or delroy
It just adds 🔝l
Up*
Its just a theory
Also I think there may be more
Than just hello neighbor stuff in the series
Maybe flashbacks and stuff
And lots of other stuff that add up
I'm pretty sure he meant that the kids think there's a traitor
not that there actually was a traitor
If I was one of them I would say that
When I saw the vr trailer
There was also catacombs
found the message #hello-neighbor message
So maybe the vr game is like playing a game but the game is the animated series
I 100% think the traitor is scout
The VR Game will be based off Episode 6
So yes
Also you'd think if there was a actual traitor they'd not be in HNVR
Or maybe Peterson is just smart
The Rescue Squad from SN saving Nicky, leading into the plot of HN2
There is a traitor
Vr is just breaking in
Secret neighbor is rescuing
The Episode will probably end like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ogjq1s1Fe4
very cool

Nah
Secret Neighbor is the planning phase
As confirmed by Rocket Event
Mr. Peterson is the killer!!!!!!
Notice how they only think there's a Traitor during the Planning Phase and (seemingly) not during the events of HNVR
And kayak
Gerda
Mayak
His name is Otto, just so you know
This implies they thought there was a traitor but there wasn't
Are you talking about the vr trailer
If there's a Traitor I feel like they'll be the one to die in AS Ep. 6
I don’t know anything about it
Yes
Everyone is in the HNVR Trailer that's in SN
There will be forest protectors if there is mayak
And mayak storm
Mayak is a weather station
Somehow they are trying to make it make sense
Mayak event
You know
The giant raven circle
And purple thunder
The purple thunder that's leading to mayak (the weather station)
And somehow it’s gonna make sense
No
Maybe it was the unidentified kid
The kids can’t die
I think mr Peterson is nice
Nope
Likely poison them
And I don’t know why he’s in her house maybe parents like him in
and if Scout is a traitor he should know full well Trinity is diabetic
He would never
Mhm sure
So pick your poison
Person?
He purposefully tries to kill Trinity or Scout isn't a Traitor
The unidentified kid will probably be another character we already know of
Know how Peterson transforms in an?
Secret neighbor*
Maybe he does that in the animated series
The Game is the planning phase
Kid's imagination
Mr. Peterson can't transform into anything lmao
Also it's not even Peterson in SN
Greatest plot twist
It's the Shadow from HN1
Kids imagination
In the basement there will most likely be the shadow
When you kill Peterson in SN it turns into the Shadow
The shadow isn't real y'know
The shadow is just negative emotions
The Shadow, officially called the Thing, is just a representation of fears unless they do a retcon to that
Yes
Cuz Peterson lost his family
I feel like all this
Connects with hn2
Honestly idk what is going to happen
the TV Show?
Um no, he's just a fear
It's literally the same universe
AS is meant to tie HN1, SN, HE, HNVR, and HN2 together
Yea ik
But I don’t fully understand the vr or hn2
I never played it or anything
I think Quentin’s in it
Maybe he will interact with the kids
Or he just gets his own episodes
About him
Maybe the kids will get a cameo
Quentin will be in AS
Also officer Leslie gets hit by a shovel
It's been confirmed at this point
and somehow survives because it's from Episode 3 but he cameos in HN2 which is post-Episode 6
Mayak is Episode 7
Quentin survived it oo
Is that so?
Episode 5 is where Petersonhas the Cookies
I thought it was 3
The images support it
Somehow the writes will tie everything together on how Peterson has made the act 3 house
In like 5 episodes
Each episode is exactly a day in the animated series
That's where Leslie, Delroy/Bagger, and Mr.Otto are introduced across 3 Sub-episodes
Episode 4 is HN1 Act 1
