Nicky's and Trinity's Sub-Episode is unknown
Episode 3's Death has to be the Teacher, Mr.Murtaugh
Everything's pointing to his death and it being early in the series
do you think they will confirm if Otto is Leslie's dad?
I mean the Melon being split in Episode 1 and the trailer for the TV show implies a School-Fire happens within the first 4 episodes
And they said the AS is "Gravity Falls meets Game of Thrones" so things like the Melon being Destroyed will most likely end up mattering
and possibly Nicky stealing something flammable
Probably introduces the Janitor too
maybe one of the episodes is back to school?
The headmaster from the dlc?
what
Dude that Carrie’s a trash can on his back
It's also implied Mr.Peterson is trying to kill everyone on his pinboard from Episode 1
imagine if his name does end up being Rodolpho
yes.
i would be so happy
and you know a character that's on Mr.Peterson's Pinboard?
Mr.Murtaugh
Because flammable
no way, a pin board
How is he gonna kill Otto, he has a shotgun on him 24/7
Along with another School Connected Character, the Principal Abanante
You forget that Peterson can manipulate luck with the GA Coins
So he could make it more likely for Otto's Gun to have a malfunction of some kind preventing it from killing him
Also if Enzo can sneak up on Mr.Otto why can't Mr.Peterson?
Wdym, Mr. Peterson is the killer!!!!!
"He killed his own kids!"
He won’t be anymore
Right right
He’s gonna be buff
During prison
Chubby arms*
good point
im kinda scared of how otto will sound
Someone in the comments even said
his voice in the game is so dumb
cya
I’m back
But i think mr. Peterson didn't actually kill that guy, i think the body was already there when he got to the store
It was just a coincidence he grabbed the drill just when Trinity was peeking
He’s ready to break the 4th wall
he did not kill that clerk
Hi
trinity misinterpretated it
no
8(
Guys, can someone tell me, in which book, which chapter do they arrest Peterson+tell him Ike died? I literally cannot find it, I thought it was book 6
Hi,I'm wondering why one of the screenshots shows how Peterson was put in jail, or is it someone's dream?
Its Welcome to the Raven Brooks
We dont know for sure yet. We're gonna see what it is when the actual episode comes out
Thank you! I wonder who could set fire to the Golden Apple factory. Why did the neighbor have blue eyes in the Alpha version? What is the message behind the golden apple when we throw it at the gramophone?
Oh you think the alphas have meaning?
What if I told you that the alphas aren’t cannon
Hmm,please answer the questions)
Alpha's are not canon
the gramophone and the apple was a different storyline, they did not include these two items in the current one. I mean, they are there, but they have no meaning.
on early concept art, he's had blue eyes, which later got changed to green.
the jail screenshot is from the cartoon, it is going to release in the future and we'll see the context.
Imagine Alex having a cameo
Or even being in the AS as a real character and not just a photo
somewhere in book 5
yes he did what..
she didnt, they don't directly show it but it's HEAVILY implied he did
Book 6; i found it since then
We don’t know anything about Ike in book 5, neither did Carly, probably
mb i meant book 6, although that is incorrect. Ike is introduced in book 4, goes missing, and then in the end of book 4/beginning of book 5 aaron finds his wallet
and he's talked about all through book 5 since nobody knows what happened to him
It's heavily implied the ones to set fire to the Golden Apple Factory are Mr.Peterson's Parents
I believe it's actually straight up said
No Aaron believes it was them but technically there was never any confirmation
Your right, but it's obviously them ofc nobody else had a reason to
Dude
i was wrong about scout being traitor
the cookies scout sells are way different
?
(at least I'm pretty sure Aaron thought it was them)
Teds parents set the Golden Apple Factory on fire
Well at least implied
Anyone gonna have a new topic
Secret neighbour lore whats the lore for that if that’s a good topic
Literally the kids imagination
And some stuff they’ve seen put into there imagination of them breaking in
Which they later actually do in HNSR which ain’t out yet
wait, it is? I thought it was already breaking in.
I just thought HNSR will be an alternative version of that.
If it is really kids imagination, then it explains a lot of things, like why neighbor can transform into a child, why kids are being chased by some clown, butcher or ghost and why do the neighbor have abilities (im talking about impossible ones, like transforming into object, becoming a ghost, and "smelling kids' fear" for butcher)
false🚫🚫
someone forgot books arent important to current lore anymore..
Hello
SN is the planning phase, HNSR is the plan put into action
That is unless tinyBuild are idiots who forget Rocket Event Exists and make SN real in-universe
(They already made Act 3 House real in-universe so)
what does it have to do with books...
i meant everything that came before AS
The CEO hates reading 😭😭
Even though hnd follows the plot of the books in flashbacks
Well they keep updating the game
Thats why we'll have to wait
Ig
Right now, we're not guessing or trying to solve it
We can't even solve everything, since we're force to solve the whole lore in the AS apparently
I don't see why they didn't just cancel the AS since it would be "to hard to animate the old story" or at least make it not canon
Yep
too bad
"lets make a new game that talks about the book story which we completely retconned but oh well"
sorry but canon is a flexible term
Anything is canon in the HN universe
😔
It’s literally them planning their break in and them having goofy ideas, A.K.A. Imagination.
The flashbacks are gonna be different in the final release
How do you know that?
Yeah it’s their creepy ideas, but some of the stuff you see like the guest, meant that they’ve seen or thought of that before.
Don’t know for sure but from my knowledge I’m pretty sure they will be
I dont think they will change
Man I just woke up Jesus Christ wth is going on
Nothing happened?
This is the normal daily discussion nothing special is really happening
Na my phone got bombarded with msgs that just came through at the time
Oh lol
not false?
please at least wait until Alex retcons it 😔
Interesting
So if episode 4 happens and they find out Ivan is the inventor
Traitor*
Than what's the point of the next episodes
you know what should be retconned? retcons.
btw the translator literally cannot translate the word "retcon" where did you english people get it from???
My language also doesnt have the word "retcon"
I cannot even find a word that would fit it
it's like "lore"
sigh....guys.
anyone knows, which is the last build, in which Neighbor uses the toilet?
HN
veterans may remember, I forgot
again
not beta 3, he already doesn't use it there
oh you know how to get beta 1-3
u cant get them on steam im pretty sure i have hn beta 1-3 lol
you can get the betas on steam through your full game library
oh dam bro i legit got betas on a website LOL
it's not legit so
i got it like years ago
i tought it was only by steam ? 🤨
nope
they was never given by websites
i think humble bundle has them
or whatever is the name
rip
there goes the toilet lore
what i said was you can get them on all websites i got alphas n betas from this dodgy website at the time
i think it was that
whats the point to go on websites if you can get Alphas for free on steam
at the time alphas wasnt on steam tho....so you had to go on websites
anyway
also whats hn2 lore i actually dont even know what hn2 lore is
Hn2 lore: a local journalist named Quentin just moved to raven brooks to find the missing kids cases (Aaron and Mya). But Quentin witnessed Mr. Peterson dragging Aaron (his son) back to the house but Mr. Peterson chased after him and bonked him from the barn. Moments later, Quentin wakes up and starts to break into people's houses just to find keys to the Museum where Mr. Peterson is hiding and after that Quentin was able to get up to the attic and found Aaron, but Mr. Peterson stranggled him and pushed him back to the cell and started looking for Aaron. After Quentin escapes the cell, he tries to escape the Museum and then Mr. Peterson got crushed by the giant crow statue and Aaron wants to help his father. But Quentin got knocked out again by some random guy that we don't know who yet and that's it.
Also the game takes place after act 2
So Nicky is at home
And he's still a kid
During that time
Before he was a grown adult
oh nice also out of topic but humble bundle has hn1 for 5 quid
whats the alphas lore if there is any ik its not cannon but still
Also there's some cult going on in town
So that's something ig
damn hn2 seems weird tbf
whats the deal with the crow figure aswell whats his purpose
oh ig thats good?
The museum was the cult's hideout (i think)
Cuz the amount of props they had inside the museum
The giant random statue in the museum? Cult.
No that's not what i meant
Yeah ik I just wanted reference tbat
Oh alright
tbf idek hn lore anymore its all got way to confusing
Yep it's still confusing to this day
And we got the animated series which apparently is a thing
And it sucks but whatever
yea i watched the animated series today wth is even the lore in it i dont even get whats happening in it its like smth cartoon network would make lol
damn..
Yep
also is there a way to get the older versions of sn or smth just askin
I don't think so
EP03-05 probably
Ep 3-6
dam man i wanted to play one of the older versions of sn lol
you can't, sorry
dam thats a shame
Yeah there's no way. And besides, if you somehow were able to, the online wouldn't work and the game would basically be unplayable.
thats sad
there are, like 423894693284 storylines, so
there was a lot going on
the "crow" aka the Guest's purpose keeps changing too, currently he has one second of screentime.
Soon he'll have more screentime in HN2, but we don't know when that'll happen
and in the AS
mayak is gonna be in ep 6, idk how thats gonna work but its confirmed
that honestly only applies to the books, in the books he's misunderstood and trying to protect his family from a cult, but in AS he's a stone cold killer. someone in his way at the hardware store? he'll just drill his head in. this is the type of guy he is in the AS and probably games too (AS and games are connected) so yeah. peterson is a killer 1!!!!!!!111!!!
There won't
The only names and nicknames for the guest are, Ravenman, Crowman, The unwanted Guest and the Guest which is it’s actual name.
Cap
There’s no way Peterson shopping by cart would run into someone
And the clerk would not move for him
We literally don’t know if it’s either one
I'm still 90% convinced that Peterson isn't gonna be the one to start the fire in the school, instead it'd be a mistake by Nicky that the kids blame on Peterson
Since in Episode 1 there was a whole scene devoted to him hiding from Murtagh because he stole Flammable materials
I doubt you'll be correct this time, because ever since the book series has been retconned or has been wrongly connected, everything in the AS is out of touch
And I don't mean by out of touch, I mean by it has a disastrous connection
To where, it won't be reflected to one protagonist to another, it can be the antagonist whose gonna take the action
I’m guessing Nicky’s gonna have it and leave it in his bag at the school, and when he goes to check it’s gonna be gone, and Teds gonna have it.
I mean Ted not having a thing to do with it fits the series so far
He stumbles into bad situations rather than causing them
The realtor getting hit outside his house, him running into the dead body of the store clerk,
him being around people causes them to get killed. this is because he has bad luck
Well he wasn’t around the realtor at all
I’m 90% certain it’s the coins that are bad luck, not him
oh ok
The clerk was dead seemingly before he entered the store too
yeah ted was just walking down the aisle and ran into his dead body
Yeah lmao
honestly i was expecting more from AS. That all of the lore would tie up. like HN1 HN2 HNH&S HN Books but no it didnt
No, it’s going to! It’s gonna tie up all the lore by completely throwing it in the trash and making it’s own lore to replace it
:/
Act 3 is REAL!!! It’s a real house from when they were kids!!! Totally great and true and good !!!
this is the house of a very special neighbor...
who has a weird behavior..
Because canon is a flexible term
Indeed
Just screw Nikita’s story and the original meaning behind Act 3 I guess!
It’s just a big wacky house for no reason now that’s actually REAL!
me looking outside of the window and seeing the biggest house to ever exist with a windmill on the top
and now hn1, hnh&s might not be cannon
(I literally do not care about it)
Oh they’re definitely not canon anymore, at least HN1 isn’t
H&S still potentially
mia..
Oh yeah no it’s somewhat noncanon now too
Mia dying was the Forest Protectors’ fault…
it was my fault actually
anyways
How unplot sense and bland unstable story retcon we have here
Mya 😡
Ik
well that makes sense since they are planning on making a hn1 remake so
😔
thats only in the books
book lore isnt canon
books arent canon
🧠
he was talking AS lore revealed through a package youtubers were sent
yes but it didnt say anywhere in the package mya's death was the forest protectors fault..
because we can assume in game/AS lore it wasnt
thats why i brought up books because the only place where it was, was in the books
It implies it though
The audio implies it
also help me out on this timeline theory rq:
Not only did the audio imply it, so did the missing posters secret message in that same package
"Its their fault."
under Aaron and Mya being missing
i would say books and GNs are it's own thing now and AS and games are the current timeline, but the AS and games don't fit together at all. they are connected but there's way too many plot holes for them to be one timeline, so are they just three diff timelines at this point
my apologies, forgot about that
Also the books those never say the Forest Protectors are why Mya died
only the AS has ever said that
it does
"Ever since I learned they were responsible for destroying so much of my family I've spent every waking moment working towards getting revenge..."
so Aaron accidentally pushing her off a roof was the Forest Protectors?
Makes sense totally 100%
btw thats actually such a good line
it was a misunderstanding chill
I mean Mya died because of the bad luck, don’t forget physical caused things are still caused from bad luck, such as Ted not watching the road and the car crash happened.
Ahem…cultist
but I mean that wasn't bad luck that was literally just an unintended mistake on Aaron's part
yeah and she did die because of the curse/bad luck but that was aarons fault
HN2 and AS are one timeline that retcons old timelines
Yep
And Teds was an unintended mistake too
Books/HE/SN/GNs/HND are another timeline
No??? The car crashes were caused by the bad luck curse
but Ted throwing his son into a basement isn't bad luck, it was a decision
and HN1/HNHS was originally it's own timeline separate from the rest
Yeah that could’ve easily have not happened
but it makes no sense being together, nickys house is still across the street in hn2 where as in AS it isnt
also that's such a non-clean timeline, its like one timeline is hn2 and AS and the other is a random mix of books and games? cmon TB...
if he's literally cursed, no it couldn't have easily not happened
It doesn’t matter like I said physical mistakes can be temptations from Bad Luck.
But Aaron pushing Mya? That was 100% preventable if Aaron hadn't decided not to
shove his sister while standing on a roof
@lyric zephyr is right the crash was because of the curse
which wouldnt have happened if it wasnt for the crash, which wouldnt have happened if they werent cursed
which was aarons fault
Well, weren't the Petersons already cursed?
so ig in book lore aaron is more of an omen
Then Aaron got them uncursed and recursed
HN1 and HNHS have dates that don't line up with the books
from what I've heard
Thank you, you gave leverage to what I said, all of the Petersons have the bad luck, Mya dying a temptation of bad luck, Ted going insane a temptation of bad luck.
yes but the first curse was caused by the grandparents, but it was mild
HN2 has dates that don't line up with AS but they've been said to be in the same universe so I can't separate them
"mild"
(at least 5 cases of death on his rides)
what i mean is it affected others rather than his own family
until, aaron got involved..
And plus Aaron literally mildly shoved Mya, it was more of a tap then a push.
but bad luck
Which still she was, standing on the edge of a roof
Yeah because they would be in the way of temptation
and HE and SN both actively reference the books, also HND is literally the book timeline
Yeah but the cutscenes are gonna be different in full launch most likely
Sorry memories
and now all are retconned
yeah ik ur correct but im just saying its such a bad timeline. TB needs to fix this stuff.. how is one timeline gonna have the sequel to your game without the first one? i get we will get a HN1 remake but still poor lore design
thanks to the AS
They literally created new art for the memories
But it isn’t full release so who knows
yeah no the memories will stay the same
honestly in the books aaron was kept in the basement because he was a curse more than to protect him i feel like
at least they acted like that in Nicky Trilogy
HN1 does exist partly but not entirely
Act 2 does happen just not how the game implies
ehhh for now the first 6 episodes of AS will fill in the events before HN2
rather than act 2
Act 1 happens as shown in-game
Episode 6 IS Act 2
Kinda
It's HNVR, Act 2, and the start of HN2
not rlly it'll be however AS potrays it
instead of act 1
At the moment there's nothing saying it doesn't play out how it does in-game so I'm just going with that
i mean with the teasers it looks like trinity might get poisoned, we don't know what'll go down but we do know that somehow by ep6 nicky will be in the basement
yeah
Wait when would Trinity get poisoned?
Ted is literally eating the cookies constantly
there are teasers suggesting peterson's cookies are drugged
who says he'll drug them all lol
So he's drugging himself
he wouldnt drug the whole batch..
So what would, drugging Trinity even do?
cmon hes smarter than that
kill her or kidnap her
But he literally does neither
Also Trinity is diabetic meaning at the very least he's trying to give her a heart attack
we dont know yet
yes
we've seen the storyboard of Trinity and Co. in the basement going for the 3-locked door
it'll prob be an attempted murder
Yeah I rember that
but she might live
and... Ted would just, get away from that?
Chances are they'll kill one of Trinity's Parents in that episode
Completely fine? No telling her parents?
dude hes gonna get invited into trinity's house by the parents
I mean Trinity could, very easily just not eat a cookie
ofc they wont question him if he attempted that
1.) She's potentially diabetic
2.) She doesn't trust or like him
(Or at the very least it seems like they could)
parents will probably make her to not be rude
isnt some kid dying in ep 6...?
i heard talk of this
so her parents will, potentially risk her blood sugar and health to not be rude?
Yes
we wont know for now
explain everything
how do we know this is true??
is peterson rlly gonna murder a child on a cartoon, although it could be to other reasons
I can say it's not Ivan, very clearly but not confirmed to not be Nicky or Trinity, prob not Enzo, or Maritza
yeah
I got back just to find out that the topic is: Ted drugging Trinity.
btw is hnvr gonna be old are new timeline??
yep and kids dying, potentially at the hands of mr peterson
AlexN implied so with the whole "what do you think happens when kids jump around on beartraps" line or whatever he said then later references that when talking about someone dying in Ep. 6
like, seriously why would Ted drug Trinity in her own home, or attempt to murder her while drugged in her own home
ohhh thats terrible..
Most likely some random kid
when i say terrible i mean that sounds like itd HURT
maybe Finch since they, have only appeared once and Alex has literally never mentioned them otherwise
No it'll probably be someone we know about
no one of the main/side characters most likely dying to a bear trap while breaking in
prob whilst breaking in to save nicky
Like literally they're nonexistent outside of that short scene in the first episode
HN if it was realistic Flashbacks going through my mind
because hes just better
they're not even a part of the inventors club
W peterson
it's totally gonna be Finch or Delroy
those traumatized me as a kid lol
Hello, Woody
its gotta be someone in the inventors club
they are the ones breaking into save nicky
He wouldn't reference that for no reason for the episode where the events of HNVR, which only has the Rescue Squad and Mr.Peterson, and Act 2, where only Aaron, who is alive in HN2, Nicky and Mr.Peterson, happen
but Finch is part of SN, same with Delroy
and how else would someone die to a bear trap
and neither of them are inventors club currently
Must…end..life…proceeds to wake up
Realistic Nicky is crazy
they will be before ep 6 in AS, teasers show bagger and nicky having some sort of interaction
seems to be bullying or a race to somewhere
and then experiencing the explosion in the school
and probably becoming friends
It's not Ivan, Nicky, Trinity, Enzo, Maritza, or Aaron, it could be Delroy but I feel like he still would have more to his character arc by that point, so it's gotta be Finch
which ones finch again?
Yeah
cant keep track of all these names..
Scout
and there's no proof Finch doesn't join the Inventor's Club before Episode 6 aswell
oh yeah most likely
she most definitely will
Delroy is Bagger
Just telling you now so you know
so what we know so far about AS:
They gotta add Nicky as a SN character, his name would be Wanderer.
Finch is the only character minor enough to kill off but major enough that they would be well known by the fanbase
Doesn’t Nicky go missing in like ep 4
first 5 episodes is HN1 (kinda), episode 6 is HE/SN/HNVR/act 2? then past that is HN2, we also know guest and mayak are in the series, there'll be a flashback episode, it'll feature leslie, mayor, baker, taxidermist, etc. nicky will go missing in ep 4, something to do with cookies will happen to trinity in ep 5, by ep 5 the act 3 house will be built and canon, and a kid is gonna die in ep 6.
and theres 18 episodes
(if i forgot any other info its bc i typed all that by memory so mb)
Episode 3 most likely has a School fire and will be split into 3 subepisodes
oh also peterson and jail
which will include enzo's interaction with the taxidermist
(At least 3)
If ep 6 is supposed to be the start of HN2 then Here’s my guess of what happens: Nicky escapes at nighttime with finch saving him, finch would get chased by Ted out into the forest, she will encounter the guest and etc.
will they still release the sub episodes an one episode
nah ep 6 is HE, SN, HNVR, and ACT 2
It'll also have Leslie getting hit in the head with Peterson's Shovel and the introduction to Delroy
Lore wise it would only make sense for the guest to appear at night after Nicky’s escape since that’s when the guest most likely would escape the Museums attic
hn2 will start prob ep 7
Ahh
that episode is HNVR, SN HE and act 2 i thought?
So I was right
I said HN2, not HE
#hello-neighbor message
but wouldnt that episode be when they go to save nicky?
It’s SN then HNSR then Act 2 then HN2 intro.
oh well it says "tie into" hn2
Yes, and HN2's intro with Ted putting Aaron back in the Basement is later that night
yeah it'll be at the end
also how is hn2 and AS the same timeline if the act 3 house is pre-hn2?? in hn2 its still a normal house..
Lore wise could explain why we start seeing the guest during and after ep 6 since that’s when the guest breaks free
I mean I remember hearing the Guest will first cameo in Episode 6
(Still Guest Origin Theory not confirmed until we get more proof)
(but it's very likely)
Yeah Alex said that
correct he said guest and mayak are in ep 6
or he meant the whole AS
but guest is in ep6
even if its for a second
( Sources: #hello-neighbor message #hello-neighbor message )
He also said once we get more explanation of the guest in AS it will make a lot of sense, and also that most of the explanations are in the Patch 2 tapes, which means the guest origin theory is highly likely.
but how is AS and hn2 being the same timeline gonna work
the act 3 house is pre-hn2 in AS
and in hn2 i dont see an act 3 house lol
this is why my 3 timeline theory made more sense but im apparently wrong
Like I said, the games have some differences but in story are the same.
I agreed but Michael disagrees so idk whos right
hes saying hn2 and AS are one timeline
Lore wise yes
which would make sense but it doesn't bc of all these weird plot holes
how does that make any sense..
part of the new lore is act 3 house being canon
that still doesnt explain it
There’s Games, AS and Books, Games and AS are TIE INS and connect, but have little mini details that are different gameplay wise.
It's been officially stated they are
so how does that work?
lemme get the quote
Oh yeah Alex said that the final episode will take place at Mayak
AS is too different from hn2
episode 18?
Yeah
lets gooo we might get the flood
rlly wanted to see the RB disaster in cartoon form
maybe itll happen we will see
Over 2 million people have played Hello Neighbor 2 since launch. The team is committed to continuous updates to the game and both this and the Animated Series are tying into a shared universe. Checkout Episode 2:
He says it within this tweet
i get that but why would he turn around and make AS drastically different from hn2?!
Like I said they made gameplay changes for players
such a weird decision
They can’t just have half of act 3 sitting on Teds house
There's also #hello-neighbor message for further proof of a shared universe
but see apparently the only answer to the mess that is the hn lore is "everything is canon"
That was a joke he made
#hello-neighbor message
Canon is a flexible term
The everything is canon statement is incorrect
Everything was canon until HN2 and AS came out
this man got asked about the plot holes and said "canon is flexible" then when told that doesnt make sense, showed us the song he was falling asleep to 💀
yea he wasnt joking
SN, HE, Books, GNs, HN1, HNHS, HND, etc. all shared a universe at the time
@lapis sonnet the answer to your questions, the reason there’s small differences in the games is for gameplay, the overall story is the same.
...
why would they have nickys house across the street then
it could be trinitys and wouldnt mess up gameplay
The only explanation we got other then Canon is Flexible is that Mayak will explain everything
Somehow
Cuz it was like that in the first game and also cuz he has a tree house on his house and having player walk farther out to get there would be annoying
have a tree house on trinitys..
But in the lore she doesn’t have one
and also when did anyone from TB say that theres plot holes for gameplay reasons
in the lore nicky doesnt either they just added it in hn2
Cuz having a mega mansion as the first part of the game would be buggy and chaotic
It was an addition to the lore
yes but that still doesnt explain the 20 other plot holes
ok, make that addition on trinity's
Same reason
see theres 0 difference
but its not because the other plot holes dont cause gameplay problems
It’s not a massive big deal, as long as the story is the same it’s fine
but its literally not
It is
Oh wow, they did that for gameplay and plausible movement.
how does that relate to movement at all
Also the HN2 map isn’t the canon map
...
It’s AS
why would they include a non canon map in the game thats supposed to be part of the new canon
Bro omg it’s not that crazy
Yes they did by creating AS
I remember when there was only 1 timeline instead of the mess of the current canon
They literally have locations different and they have stated AS is the most canon, making AS the canon map
hn2 map could just as much be canon if it wanted to
they are both different maps than old timeline
u could argue that HN2 has the canon map and AS doesnt
Bro it’s not that crazy, the developers arent gonna take ages just to make the HN2 map coexist with a cartoon show.
i dont even mind multiple timelines, as long as they didnt have the biggest plot holes known to mankind
i never said i wanted that, im saying theres no confirmation on that
and it doesnt make sense
ur only evidence supporting this is "bc AS exists"
There is, AS is the most canon, making AS the canon map, since anything that isn’t proven canon in AS, can’t be, making the HN2 map NOT CANON, only canon things on the map, are lore exploration areas.
but if hn2 is canon to AS then they are both canon
Yeah the story’s, not the gameplay.
Gameplay isn’t canon, story is, lore is canon, not gameplay.
in HN gameplay is a big part of lore
what are ur theories for AS
all the new info is crazy tbh
im excited asf
we're getting mayak, potentially RB disaster, guest, etc.
peterson going to jail, act 3 house being canon, kids getting killed
im so intrigued and it sounds insane
This is my current guide as to how to view the timeline currently, the broken bits are meant to represent the fact that these things connect to other timelines but they aren't really in the same timeline of events
Don't really got any that I haven't already shared
graphic novels should probably be in book timeline but yeah
they fit into it well
There's no solid timeline placement for GN2 so I felt it was best to separate it to prevent timeline debates
kk
im prob gonna update my timeline
and obviously the 2 Graphic Novels should share a timeline
it currently has the 3 timeline theory which doesnt exactly work
Also HN1 says the date is 1997 on a Kilm Carton
for my timeline since the only answer we have and prob the only we'll ever get is "everything is canon" so my timeline will prob include all the theoretical timelines: books HE SE HND and GNS, AS HNVR and HN2, Games and AS, books and games, games and AS
and act 3 is 19 years later
(Somehow it's 2017 in Act 3, though it could be Act 1 is March 1997, Act 2 is May 1997, and Act 3 is January-February 2017)
this is my current timeline
which has my old theory
(Act 1 being March 1997 is supported by the Kilm Carton)
so it needs updating
and in Old Lore HNHS happens as close to HN1 as possible, supposedly being said to end directly before HN1 begins
ik
so should i make my timeline into the theoretical timelines
because since "everything is canon" thats prob the cleanest way to do things
You can do it how you want to do it
i just want input is all
im just going for the cleanest timeline possible
so i need input if thats the cleanest route or not
i want it accurate but to not have plot holes
(The reason the SN/HE Branch cuts off instead of being in the Book Timeline is because of the Plothole of how do the Inventor's Club escape the Sandbox Mode)
wdym how they escape the sandbox mode?
The game reveals that Peterson is messing with timeloops
No it isn’t just the lore bits that’s it
Ending with Peterson sending the kids back in time creating Sandbox Mode where they're stuck in a infinite loop
what...
are u like messing with me or is this fr
what in the-
In fact here is a video of the HE Ending https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAskhLUIAZA
This is the ending cutscene for Hello Engineer. Toom me a while to beat but it was pretty fun.
You'll see that what I said is correct in the video
Also the board behind Peterson at 0:30 shows the Time loop part
But connecting HE to anything leaves the plothole of how the kids got out
i mean it'd give an ending to what happened to the kids after book 3
so maybe i could fit it into book timeline
It's also implied Peterson was messing with Time Loops in Reset Day
in-fact the Plot of Reset Day involves Time Loops
yeah so i might do that
having to do with mayak
But Maritza is in Reset Day
So that's why the Plot Hole even exists
eh thats just a minor plot hole
and Enzo was there too
oh
But he goes missing shortly before the loop starts
in reset day?
Yep
But they're adults in Reset Day
damn your right
Enzo has 2 kids and a (dead) wife
and that wife is heavily implied to be Trinity
The lore of reset day is that Enzo has 2 kids and he goes missing the day before the time loop starts, he got kidnapped by the guest, and Maritza and his 2 kids have rings that keep them from being affected by the loop.
so there u go
The guest being Ted possessed
ik
The rings don't let you leave the loop however
i remember that being correct though
You just get to remember the previous loops
So that still leaves a plot hole because all it does is allow for them to remember previous loops
it just does ig
and they don't even have the rings in HE
because that's when the loop first starts
i dont remember that being right
itd make sense that they can remember previous loops
because then as the loop repeats they can find a way out
aka the rings
If there was a way out you'd think Marcia Tillman would've found it out
(the Great-*Cousin of the books protagonist)
well we can assume HE fits into the book timeline the best
working on my timeline as we speak 👍
SN also works in the book timeline
I only had it separated due to it's connections to HE
ill put SN in books and games timeline since it works with HE and the books, but also works with HNVR and the AS/HN2
I tried to disconnect stuff if we were never given a explanation as to how the characters leave somewhere, but I left HND in the Book timeline since it's not out yet and therefore could be updated to explain how things went from the book 3 ending to that game
yeah and hnd is literally book lore
Neighbor's Notebook/The Official Game Guide is disconnected because it literally doesn't fit into any timeline
yeah and its such outdated info im not putting it into any timeline
GN1 and GN2 are disconnected due to timeline debates, HN2, HNVR, and AS are disconnected because AS retcons everything else, and HNHS and HN1 are disconnected due to dates
btw what are dates for aaron and nickys trilogys
i forgor
Aaron’s was like 1992-1993, while Nicky was like 1994-1996.
Bad Blood is in 1991, Grave Mistake and Puzzle Master are 1992, Missing Pieces and Waking Nightmare are 1995, and Buried Secrets is 1996
(If I remember right these were the dates)
ur right
if i put SN and HE in book timeline, if u had to estimate what year do u think itd take place
based off theory
i said 1996/TBD
since its to be determined
just so im not saying anything unofficial thatd get ppl mad
and how long after does GN2 and reset day take place after 1996 again?
HND is in the future if im correct
Reset Day at the earliest is 2021
HND is 2017
GN2 is unknown
At least 2016 though
then im finishing "old timeline" which has games and books, except reset day, any of the GNs and all games up to secret neighbor
and the Finale
which i didnt include SN in old timeline
so at some point i gotta do the strongest timeline canon-wise
which is hnvr, sn, hn2 and AS
but other than that what else makes sense
what are the dates for the new timeline??
hn2, AS, and HNVR
HN2 takes place in 1996, HNVR hasn't been said, the AS as far as we know takes place in modern times (the 2020s)
since in the AS they use "Cringe" terminology and have modern smartphones
ty
Or what if they were the few people that were able to say the term "cringe" back in the day
calling someone cringe in the 1990s?
just, wasn't a thing in the same way it was today
@ripe berry I apologize for the tag, but in case your curious I just spent hours redoing this timeline:

I still need to decorate it but I've got the base down.
honestly, it's just writing issues
and I think this is the same reason behind the smartphones too
it doesn't matter when HN takes place, only the household items are telling it, and the lack of modern items
they wanted the AS to be current/up to date for kids(but its not for kids!!!), but they sacrificed the good lore and logic, too
they didn't even specify the kids' age, because Alex said they are elder(?) but they actually look YOUNGER
I have a theory thay had a reset in the universe and its happening over and over thats why so many things are diffrent between hn hn2 and tv show i havent read the reset day book yet but im ganna get it soon. The reset theory also exsplains the writing inconsistencys between the books and hn1 and means everything is cannon and the timeline is not 1d but 2d
Heck that might mean the arg and alphas/batas are cannon but i highly doubt it
But maybe
and yes HE and reset day deal with time travel
We dont have alpha 2... Its your fault...
im confused why is it his fault
I dont think Alpha2 not releasing had anything to do with Alexus
if that made sense, what order would the timelines go in u think?
because HE started the timeline resets
so maybe the game timeline takes place first?
guys i have a theory about AS
so ep 18 is gonna take place in mayak
originally i thought mayak might caused the RB flood
but I think ep 18 since its the last one and takes place in mayak,
it'll reveal the time loop and that its a big paradox
since peterson used mayak to create the paradox
I would like that tbh
ik kinda cool right
Hi
Guys
I’m trying to play hello Neighbor and it is stuck on the tiny build screen I’m also on iPhone 12
do you play on cloud?
Dk
alternate universes and things happening over and over again would be the only excuse in this case, honestly
I'm so sad, because HN was going to be a plothole-less good story, and now
...
but if anything like that happens, Neighbor has to be the only person who knows it actually does happen. because he also knew he is in a game.
wdym "he knows hes in a game"
he knows about the paradoxes because he created them
hn1:
yeah but why would he break the 4th wall
bc lore-wise he never does
added a paragraph explaining this theory to my timeline that gives credits to you for the theory

dude
have you played HN1
yes, when is the 4th wall ever broken...
Doesn’t make sense, and doesn’t fit lore, and that’s just 4th wall breaking.
exactly idk what this guy is talking ab..
My friend
Look up "Error World Hello Neighbor" on youtube
That’s not canon though
Yes but hes confused about what theyre talking about and im telling what it is
Ahh
jokes on the chat, Alex said it was canon
ha
||not like he made the actual game but still||
I love when random people try to tell veterans what's up 😄
acting like im not a veteran 💀
and theres no proof on him saying it was canon
old that's very old lore
I already know about error world ofc, but I didn't think of it since it straight up isnt canon
but no: its the true ending as Alex CEO said
clearly not anymore since that was ages ago..
retcon.
duh
Unsure of how well the tunnel blueprint links up to the current map, but this is what I have so far. I think at the very least they should link up with Quentin's office and the Mayor's house, and most likely the other residences as well.
Though where the bigger structure in the upper middle of the plans would be I have no idea.
we will have to wait and see
The theory of the Catacomb blueprint being a content expansion is highly likely , as you’ve done here it seems to link.
Here’s a more accurate depiction as the blueprint is slanted and a bit smaller than it should be in the map
You can see one part of the Catacombs are directly under the banner, most likely part of the banners sewage, there’s also a Cult statue hanging out of the banner rocks so most likely.
There most likely gonna be used to traverse around places

Just added finishing touches/decorated it
basically done for now until we get new content
Thanks for the thanks btw 😄
Wait so Alex said everything is canon?? Were the books not canon anymore?
I thin I might've misunderstood it
idk, nor do I care if you're a veteran or not
you kiddos asking for proof like we were sitting at a trial
he did say it on reddit, search it yourself if you're such veteran.
I don't really think being a veteran or not has a play in this anymore, the lore's been switching up alot with recent changes, games, shows, updates and faculty changes
yeah, so when asked about what is and isnt canon he claimed canon is a "flexible term" and that "everything is canon"
so the only theory that could explain that is the one present in the timeline
yeah this is what im trying to tell this dude about the lore, error world is outdated with the retcon and all. and the only reason i brought up being a veteran is because he tried using it as a point against me 💀
he said that before rtconning books
don't talk down to me dude.
true so its open for speculation
im not gonna get like super into this since i just enjoy hello neighbor as it goes by and i guess im waiting for the big green go button to say whats canon once they get things like the vr, diaries, stuff like that sorted
i would agree but unfortunately it looks like that button may not ever exist
i want it too but alex is confusing all the fans
💔 fr bro
I can bet he'd still give the "everything is canon" explanation 5 years from now
at this point, alex is a hard source to rely on, yet the only one
im not desperate to know the lore but when you actually talk about hello neighbor and then you turn around and see what you're talking about, its just a big mess of theories and retcons and you kinda gotta. untangle it to talk about it
but its not rlly tangled its like. tied
yeah and my unbiased opinion is I do believe with the timeline(s) I created in my google doc it does the cleanest job at untangling that. Does it mean it is untangled and clean? No, it's still a confusing mess. But it's the best we can get
gtg but check out my doc
i took a look and its really great! I love the categories since everything is sort of undirected irl, its nice to have some direction in the chaos
yeah, especially with the paradox theory and the time travel and time resets, I tried to put it in an order
so thats why the book/HE is the first one since its when the paradox is first created
honestly that stuffs the most confusing part
although theres some plot holes like the fact that enzo escapes the loop in Reset Day but i put it in the book timeline
I feel like Alex will use the Error World as a excuse to say the original HN is a in-universe game
so i might remove reset day from all the timelines and put it as the very last piece of media
that is a possibility
and the HN1 remake wouldnt be ofc
itd match AS/HN2 better
Based on real events
see, since its the last book and takes place in the future, you'd think it'd be the end of the timeline but its literally a book about time loops and paradoxes, which instead of leading us in a straight line it just throws us back to random parts of the story
but i probably wont make changes like this until HNVR, AS and HN2 are fully complete and out
and HND i guess
well thing is the loop is still happening but enzo escaped it by then
but is in the timeline resets that come after (if the theory is true)
HE creates a new timeline, Reset Day creates a new timeline, AS ending possibly creates a new timeline
so reset day would logically be the very last thing that happens
Ty that makes more sense, I forgot the timeline reset near the end of Reset Day
me when HE devs forgot to remove book 7 stuff
gtg but i might rework my timeline later
alright, see u guys
If daemonium2005 and luke.org are correct
and, as a bonus for the paradox theory, they said that Mayak would explain the inconsistencies in the timeline, the time loops are most likely caused by Mayak
(as confirmed by HE)
and I remember making a very similar theory about Peterson going back in time to prevent Mya and Diane's deaths causing almost every inconsistency in the franchise as he keeps trying to go back in time and eventually giving up hence the line in GN2 of "... I used to want to change the past, but you can't, can you?..."
From before HN2 and AS were released
I don't think Neighbor could ever cause more inconsistency, than the AS
oh yeah
That was a joke he made a while back
Canon is a flexible term
so i've got like a vague idea (not really ive thought about it alot) that Nicky's diaries are his perception of everything thats happened, all his cloudy memory and only remembering the pure anger and fear of all of it. I've always seen the fact Ted appears in an elevator once you step a wire or a camera was Nicky feeling like the second he messed something up, ted would be there in mere seconds to get him. I've also always thought that the basement levels were somewhat memories of Nicky's attempts to escape
HND's gameplay is meant to kinda represent his brain so yeah, the main gameplay is the bad memories and the memory scenes are him remembering what actually happened
Not nessacarily good memories but it includes them
yeah, part of the reason why the game rlly amazes me tbh! in a sad sense, it really shows how messed up this kid is
it wasnt a joke
Yeah you've got the gist the whole game is about Nicky trying to go through his trauma and gather back his memories
In his mind
It was literally sarcasm
Yeah since he forgot
the end of his sentence might be ironic, but it is true
mb it was a joke, but it was technically true
since when giving a serious response he said "canon is a flexible term"
which kinda ties into the phrase "everything is canon"
True
Hey @ripe berry
Did you notice the cookies mr peterson has looks like Nicky goggles
By the way
If guest is in episode 7
Maybe it’s at the amusement park
Like in hello guest
Its just 2 circles stiched together
it means nothing
I’m just saying it looks like no Nicky’s goggles
literally: SO??
I’m just saying
hes just saying smt intersting..
it prob has no meaning but whats the problem with saying it
Its so random. Just wanted to make sure u dont go into some crazy theorizing here
dont tempt me lmao
real
@ripe berry where in Reset Day is the timeline reset u were talking ab?
u said it happens in Hello engineer (which it does) and reset day
and ofc theres a theory i made about the end of AS but thats irrelevant
point is I just reread the last 5 chapters of reset day
and theres not even a storm
It talks about Time Loops but none actually happen in the story, tho if they don't continue the Book Story one can assume the Loop happens shortly after the ending of Reset Day to explain why they don't continue the books
(Probably should've said it was a theory that one happens at the end of Reset Day but the only time we actually see a time loop is Hello Engineer)
So yeah, there's no solid proof a Time Loop happens shortly after Reset Day but it's the only way paradox theory works without needing them to release a Book 8
(Which I think we know they won't)
One message removed from a suspended account.
I keep hoping that whoever forced the Reset day story to happen, now deeply regrets it and the story gets back to a more realistic...phase...
and this is why 8 more books didn't drop yet
Secret neighbor skins is just in trinity’s dream
Can someone help me? It would be nice if someone could help me translate this Wayron croobian message i found in SN
I found it in the green house, in the missing or wanted map
"save yourselves" i think
Wow
Thank you 🙏
I have found just three of them, they can also be found with Enzo's field intel
In the missing or wanted map, there's one in the basement, which says "Help", it's inside a wardrobe
Maybe
Ouu
Well, those are around all maps i think
In the "return of the guest" map, there's other one
Which also asks for help
I'll make a deeper investigation later
I tried going on a hunt for them once but found none
I got bored after a little while and also didn't look in all the hidden spots
I might try to look out of bound on map 5
There are many places like the event area and the houses that could be checked
Yep
We must save Franklin Roosevelt
The neighbor went back in time to the Great Depression and has captured the president
hey does anybody know mr Petersons wife name
It's Diane
oh really
Yes
thanks
Np
Correct
Guys in Helo Neighbor 2, there is a missing poster of Nicky Roth in your office, how is this? He escaped Mr. Peterson's house in act 2 in the first game.
Because HN2 happens before act 2 (and possibly after) simple.
Before act 2? I thought it took place after act 2
I think it’s both atleast in the demo
As when you go to bed the first time in the demo
It says Nicky was found or something like that
yeah i saw that
Idk if full game still follows that
I’m only buying when the game is fully fixed on console
Yea
Yea dat
mya peterson
...
Mya Wilson
Wait I thought it was between act 1 and 2
no
