the point is
they do
they do put plan to action
they successfully save Nicky
HE is def after Nicky's escape
Ok, give something that's proof of that
This is basically a "at what point was Act 2 retconned" thing, where leaning one way or the other makes it more likely HE is in one spot in the timeline and not the other
if HE takes place before they break in, that means HE should take place in ep 5 as ep 4 is HN1 Act 1 and ep 6 is SN and act 2
and we know that ep 5 isnt HE episode
Ep. 4 is start of SN
There's nothing saying they can't make it happen in-between episodes
*end of ep 4
That'd be lazy sure but still it's a possibility
Yeah yeah
I was talking original canon and if it's a retcon or not, now we've just gone to using AS to prove something from old lore's not been retconned
But yeah in AS universe HE probably happens after Act 2
But in Old Lore it's more likely to be before Act 2, as that works with what the game shows (Nicky Missing Posters, lack of Nicky anywhere else in the game indicating but not confirming him still being missing)
Just add it to the pile of stuff AS Retconned
I'm not arguing HE's placement in new lore other then the slight possibility of them putting it in-between episodes and using that to explain why they've skipped 2 months forward in the timeline
(assuming Act 2's placement relative to Act 1 is the same as in Old Lore)
But they could also just skip time and not explain why
If we're talking original lore, HE is before Nicky escapes, the squad never saves him and his missing posters are still around during HE and he's not with the squad at all during the game. If we're talking new lore it would be after, because now the squad saves Nicky.
I feel like nothing is canon anymore
AS already retcons HE anyway because now Nicky is part of the inventors club despite never being shown to have ever been in it in HE
It was just Enzo, Trinity, Maritza, and Ivan
what if HE takes place before act 2?
Yes that is what happens
If goes HN1 act 1, SN, HE, hn1 act 2, hn2 and so forth
Also again, we do not know how HE ends yet
Plus the game is also getting post launch content
what is the gameplay of HE like? like is it only Hn related cause of the characters?
The only Hn related things, are everything but the gameplay
The gameplay is the weakest part of the game
Everything else is great
honestly I wish HN2 looked like HE
seems like more care was put into it for some weird bizzare reason
One message removed from a suspended account.
You clearly haven’t, nowhere in it has it shown or said It can morph, no one else agrees with you.
God forgot abt that
Bro tf
What the hell?
We’ll point proven you don’t know what tf you’re talking abt
The Guest can shape shift, but he's only seen doing that in people's minds
Exactly
He can even go into people's dreams
The only thing Guest does in both minds and the real world is his amazing power of turning into goop
It can’t ACTUALLY morph
Yup
Bro what the hell are you even talking about?
I guess it makes him be able to move quicker
Aight I’m out
High quality pics
I did indeed take those with my camera
I think I'm wrong on this but I remember in the books he was a part of it?
He did say this though
Aight I’m out
That was a different club
EMU
OH
I remember now
Its been a while since I read the books
I miss quintin's old coward but curious character
It fit him more
he also said this
Aaron doesnt save Nicky
Nicky saves Aaron
this is the way
and I dont think this is a new retcon
Aaron saves nicky in hn1 and nicky escapes
distorted memory
So unless nicky goes back in to save aaron
we all know what Norman wrote in the newspaper at the end of book 6
Or he saves Aaron and gets himself trapped
Did Aaron really unlock the door, or did Nicky just feel trapped is the question
Makes sense with the giant fences on the surface
not really cause of hn2 lmao
This makes no sense, first Alex says nicky saved Aaron and the next day on the 27th he says Aaron saved nicky?
Make up your mind alex
ye he did get recaptured
he doesnt say Aaron saved Nicky
he said it looks like he did
what should've happened is that Nicky must've seen Aaron thru the keyhole and NICKY opened the door and freed Aaron
but Nicky, as he felt trapped, remembered that he saw Aaron threw the keyhole and Aaron opened the door
thats what he remembers
but what happened is that he saved Aaron
What do you think happens to the rescue squad. They break into the house and get caught or they break in and leave?
What is their point
I guess s&r and AS will answer that
Well considering they are adults in other episodes they do escape
So they learn nothing
The break in things go wrong they escape
Actually thats very similar to Nicky's story: he breaks in to save Aaron, gets trapped, and then escaped
Except he does actually free aaron
Oh Ted this is what happens when you mess with the forces of time
I hope Ted messing with time to save his family is still canon
tB posted 5 "new" membership teasers on their youtube
Ohhh
alright which ones getting the best rituals
Wait act 3 is not a dream right after moving in but a therapy session?
Left
In hn1 act 3 is a giant build up of all of Nicky's ptsd and trauma which he then concurs and defeats. In the new lore the house is just real
so it no longer has meaning
A perfect example of world class writing
HE factually has a better art style
They should have highered Carly as the world class writer
That just would have made too much sense
Enzo is saying "blue key needed"
Why are finch and delroy side lined so much
it's kinda sad
they were cut from HE and don't seem to have big roles in the AS
SR kinda makes SN's story pointless
The whole point of SN was to show they never tried and in HE the karma came for them
but now they do break in
and they do save nicky
They save nicky?
This honestly sucks man
sumeum
Oh- right
cuz they dont know him
Trinity enzo and maritza do
in the new lore they do not know them, that's a valid reason for not saving him
because they do not really care
in the original they never saved either
New lore is so dumb
because they were cowards
And Nicky thinks Peterson killed his kids in the new lore
What is the lore of HE
Kids
Wanna build cars
Then neighbor
Be evil
And kids got teleported
To another universe
The end
(they dont)
New lore is so stupid they changed Mya's name to Mia
What was wrong with Mya? Plus its so inconsistent
if we are gonna time jump to adults in ep 9
then
how will Peterson be involved apart from trauma
I think that's just a typo in the website
Oh I hope so
But the name was involved with a secret code
Isnt Aaron supposed to be Nicky's best friend?
Maybe
?
Ok I haven’t seen a lot of the AS stuff. If it was a community thing on YouTube I can’t see it due to my phone being outdated so I’ve mostly seen what’s been shared here.
So Act 3 is real, Guest is demon, Act 2 is heavily retconned
HE's timeline placement is changed
What haven't they messed up from the games
Every Game's Story has to be changed to work with AS
Hn1, He, Sn, Hnhs, Hnd
(had to make them lowercase so bot doesn't delete them)
All retconned in some way
Wasnt the guest already some sort of demon in gn2 and the books?
I’m not
Every second show has cultists and demons
There is nothing unique in it anymore
Omgggg u dumb????
These guys have already explained it like a hundred of times 😀😀
SN = Planning phase, it's the kids' imagination 🌈☁️
Every question / statement you've done so far is truly out of logic ☝️🤓
Excuse me, but ignorance it's on top of this conversation, questions that have already been answered, make me p on my pants

Of course it's canon, otherwise there's no point in creating stuff just bc
And neighbor transformation according to what i've read, represents the fact of kids' awareness of a traitor among them, doesn't have to be literal since everything it's imagination, of course it doesn't make sense, such as going to the moon to rescue a kid 🤗
It's canon somehow
No and Yes, SN is the kids imagination as they come up with a break in plan.
Guest Demon things isn’t 100% (as the one who contributed highly on that), though It is for sure an entirety at the least, though all the evidence was through the OG tapes and many other factors.
how was HNHS retconned?
SN was always canon
the kids dont trust each other, they think one of them is secretly working for Peterson
SN is an imaginary plan to break into the house
AS shows how they actually break in
Don't call people dumb
Do you think you’re funny or something?
Unless you've seen the rocket event ending most don't know SN is imagination
All of SN is just them sitting in the lobby
Not trying to start anything, your new and from my understanding don’t know the lore, but yet argue about it?
Idk how it would be retconned, it still fits the current lore.
exactly
kind of accurate to current SN gameplay
Idk why Micheal is telling HNHS is also retconned
I swear to god If I want to play it takes up to 5 minutes to get a lobby
I guess the ending is "retconned"
Since it's the cults fault now
And not completely Aaron's
How is Aaron pushing Mya off the roof the cults fault
they cursed them
With bad luck
why did they have to bring the cult into this...
Aaron pushing Mya is not bad luck
why cant it just be a freak accident
book 6 clearly says that all the bad things happening to the Peterson family is cuz of the curse
the family is doomed
Aaron makes that clear in the end
it wouldnt really be interesting then
It being the cult is boring. Because everything that happens can just be blaimed on the cult. Aaron pushing Mya and feeling guilty? Not really him it was the cult!
it was partly Aaron's fault
hes not entirely free from blood
Mya's blood is still in his hands
I never said it was never his fault
what?
dont you want to see how Peterson gets his revenge?
how is a kid killing his own sister boring???
The thing is, The cult might be the source of the bad luck, but the reason of Mya's death was Aaron
exactly
Ok what if Aaron didn't go on the roof. Would Mya still die somehow
no
She'd probably slip or something
Idk
how did they even get up there
the ladder from the back?
trampoline
They can teleport
there is no trampoline
there is no ladder either
there is in hn1 and hnhs
the games where it DOES happen
did you forget about the trampoline in HNHS
what?
that makes no sense
That takes her up some stairs
she uses a trampoline
Also that's just for gameplay
This is hello neighbor, does anything make sense anymore?
Thats not a reason, They're talking about something that happened in HNHS
You can hear Aaron unlocking a door in stage 5. They went outside, and climbed up a ladder
I hate Hello neighbor
The trampoline is just there to get over a gate
Wouldn’t be the first
Then why are you here
I was half joking
Im just heavilly frustrated with the games
theres just so much missed potential
and hn in its current state is kind of a joke
We’re all in the same boat
Btw Does Aaron die later? Never read the books in depth so I dunno if he follows the fate of his family
We do not know Aaron's fate
Hn2 was meant to do that
And guess what
Guess what happened
lets not forget Quentin just randomly commits arson
We still don’t know
Yeah!
haha funny hammer to the head
Like we freed Aaron from the cage and that’s our last info on Aaron’s fate
honestly I dont even care if he lives or not
Yikes
Damnnn
the kid had a chance to escape but yet he ran to his abusive father and tried to help him get the crow thing off of him (ted would have been fine)
Well considering in gn2 he is not with Ted there are a 2 options. He is dead, he is with other people
That's crazy
Because they were a family
At one point in time
he locked him in the basement for MONTHS
then an attic
Because he was scared
Even though Ted's favorite child is mya 🤭
Well she’s dead
Hn really likes to kill of females huh
I mean he still loves his son
The baker:
Barely any men death
I mean out of the 3 missing kids only the girl survived that night (gerda)
Hey guys, I wanted to clear a doubt, whenever I leave the game I can't continue from where I stopped my progress, does anyone know how to solve this?
She died from being scrapped
Beatrix was scrapped, piper's mom got taken, Trinity dies as an adult, the 2 female leads from bosco bay suffer injuries, both female leads from gn2 suffer injuries, mrs. Tillman dies, Maritza gets ptsd, Diane dies, Mya dies
And Gerda of course got tramautized as a child
So yes HN really likes to make female characters suffer for some reason
Oh yeah Lucy also died
Trinity dies as an adult
wait what
She's implied to have been married to Enzo in reset day, their children say their mom died
Mr. Peterson and ep2 random dead guy
The realator too
What?
Ok which HN game has the coolest mannequin lore (HE)
she probably wont die now
since she is bassically the protagonist of the AS
Who knows
The AS lore sucks anyway
the AS has ruined any attachment I had to the characters at this point
Lets talk about how Ted is abusive towards the mannequins and how they are sentient 🙂
will be hard when it will start affecting the games
damn
Well then boo!
I scare ya
Behold, new act 1
them being actually real and not nicky`s weird memory of ted
like in act 1 and 2 there were none
hn2 none
them being sentient isnt all that surprising to me
In HE you can find mannequins in cages, crashed roller coaster carts, water, and in piles with many many other mannequins. They are all dead
Some mannequins have chalk, with tally marks next to them
the hell
Damn
why isnt any of this stuff in HN2
seriously why does random spin off with completely diffrent gameplay have more care put into it?
I dont think sentient mannequins would fit HN2, even the old versions
Which spin-off
they actively made the game boring and grounded
Hello engineer
That not what im talking about?
from what Ive seen and heard it not only looks better but has more interesting stuff going on
Your answer is:
TinyBuild
I was talking about sentient mannequins
Hello neighbor 2 completely rejects the wacky stuff about hello neighbor
Because it’s in the eyes of a grown(?) man
that too an INK machine
how is Tinybuild Riga doing a better job than Egs??
I dont think sentient mannequins fit with the wackiness of hello neighbor tbh
act 3 house was in the eyes of a grown man and it was way way worse than act 1 and 2
hes prob dead
In the eyes of a sleeping grown man
I sorta get that vibe from them in hn1
thats prob why Ted decided to test time travel
I love mannequins though, I wish they were in HN2
he knew his father did that to protect him
Quentin is neither a kid, or sleeping throughout the journey of HN2
I just LOVE the smell of references..
I wonder if GN2 is still canon I love how the guest was an actual threat there
and deep down, he knows he doesnt deserve freedom, he has the blood of his sister on his hands
hey, since you have this, can I ask you something in DM?
Okay?
And fear?
also they reduced his height after hello guest which made him even more goofy cause he became the same height as Quentin
he was like 6.6 feet tall (around 200 cm) in hg
Forgot to mention they can also get depressed. This one is drinking
wow
normally I would hate HE
but theres actually some care put into it
I can respect it
still a cashgrab tho
Hey guys, I wanted to clear a doubt, whenever I leave the game I can't continue from where I stopped my progress, does anyone know how to solve this?
This isn’t the bug report channel
of course, he was taller. he was a different person duh
do you guys ever imagine Peterson and Ike showing up anywhere
tall handsome guy, and the little chubby friend, who's always smiling.
ted isnt even that tall
is this a dream part, or
was it real
"'real""
honestly I wish they kept him that tall cause atleast that makes him somewhat more intimidating
what did the writers of HE lore take...
And they're all dead
being chased around by a 6.6 foot bird demon
Ted making sentient mannequins only to kill them 
Why even make them sentient if you're just gonna torture them
And experiment on them
maybe I'd do the same, if I were in that state of mind
who knows
I was never a genius
maybe he puts his rage out on them?
I wish HE didn't have an actual story, like
by the time I suffer through a level, I entirely forget, what happened
I don't play it anyway, the actual gameplay demotivates me
I still don't get the logic behind some things, I guess I'm old/too realist for this game
as for map exploration, it is interesting
but the car part...
D:
family friendly
ted`s ghost is literally hanged in SN
I hope AS explore HE as well
I think these rather symbolize something, than being tormented.
maybe
Who knew Hello Engineer would be the darkest game in the series..
HS litterally has a kid die
AS: multiple people around town dying in each episodes
someone died in episode 2?
oh wait the guy at the store
wait how did they censor the 2nd one?
The red stuff (presumably blood) is dark grey instead of red on the youtube ver
thats it?
Yep
They tried to make it look like oil
wait so what happend in episode 2? did he just drill himself or what
We really don't know
random death that is confusing
cant wait till episode 3 has someone slip on a banana peel and die
Episode 3 i think it's gonna be Mr. Murtagh
who?
The inventors club teacher
The one who always smiles
no way delroy is actually doing something
I assumed they would have them at only like when nicky is captured
I also think episode 3 we will see Otto with Enzo
I have question
what was enzo like in the books?
in the AS his only personality traits seem to be that he is a nerd and that he has a crush on trinity
He's like a chicken (coward) and nerd
that probs remains in the AS
Not much
imagine when Mr. Murtaugh dies he still smiles
that would be dark
I actually wonder why he keeps smiling though maybe we'll get to know in future episodes or maybe he's very happy about his job or something
Not mr murtaugh
Why him he was my fav
💀
Why is delroy and Nicky dirty
Delroy does
I think because I saw him in an episode 7 teaser
Its like 50 50
Wait I thought that was episode 6
thats hn2
Imagine if he is just a normal guy that loves his job
Hey, Alex just dropped the script of first episode of the AS.
the first episode is already out
months ago
The script
Hes talking about the script of the episode 1
He dropped the script of the first episode
okey?
#hello-neighbor message
I wonder if I hello engineer is even canon
It's totally not anymore. And if it is, they had to change quite a bit
like what for example?
Well for one Nicky is now part of the inventor's club in the AS despite never being a part of it in the game. In the games they never save Nicky, they leave him. In the AS they do save him and all escape, also making the sandbox non canon.
maybe HE takes place before act 2 now?
It's always been before act 2
It would have to be after act 2 for it to still happen in the AS
Maybe the AS has a gap?
There has to be some sort of timeskip for ted to build the act 3 house
I wouldn't be surprised if he builds it in one episode
I agree
can anyone send me the opening cutscene for the prototype with that music and eletric pole?
like the early early one
hey everyone! after a long while im active again
and i might make a youtube video about my new timeline theory
it still supports the old lore and new lore theory which im 99% sure is true
but it answers a lot of questions
Looking forward to see that
Like finally someone is gonna talk about the modern HN timeline
In a YT video
working on the script now, i wanna get it out as soon as possible to clear everything up
this theory explains so much about the retcon, and if anyone was doubting the old lore and new lore theory, they wont anymore
and its honestly a theory most people probably knew, so it will be targeted towards doubters
also im gonna truly start production on my HN full timeline series after i get this theory video out, i made the thumbnail and script for the first episode of the HN full timeline series but haven't started recording yet
its going to be a series recapping the "old lore" timeline, then a sequel series recapping the "new lore" timeline once HNVR is out
im not going to wait for AS to come out and to get HN2 story/content updates because that will take until the end of the year
instead im gonna make a series on what we have now and if anything changes ill make reworks
or HE is just old lore
we still dk
also I have proof that HNHS is part of new lore incase anybody was doubting that
HNHS can still be part of the new lore that shouldn't be a debate
and there's proof!
also whats this talk of the HN2 intro having GN references? how does this make the GNs new lore?
The "reference" being the Guest standing Infront of Quentin on the road
like how in gn2 he stands infront of Regina and Pris
while they're in their car
yeah
I hope HE can somehow fit into new lore
and for GN1 the whole camera thing
HN2's intro references that
this whole what and what isnt canon thing is already explained but to do it I need to finish making my youtube video about it
im working on a YT video that explains what is and isnt canon
but ive only got script done
Can you just tell me about the novels now?
novels and some games are old lore
Damn
the new lore version of the novels is the AS
But like the stories
Like I dont think gn1 and 2 contradict anything
look ill explain it all in my YT video
actually since that video is gonna take forever to make and u have a basic understanding of the lore, ill just make a visual timeline rn
an image
here I made two timelines
one for old lore and another for new lore
new lore:
this seems about right
Here's a text-based version of the timeline:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QsIc7oliZeAWVmP-HLDOGB-qzrKNCTkNW8TObTk9bKw/edit?usp=sharing
A GUIDE TO HELLO NEIGHBOR LORE! (DISCLAIMER: ANYTHING IN THIS RED IS NOT CONFIRMED CANON/UNRELEASED/Optional) MUST READ: There are 2 main timelines for Hello Neighbor. The “Old Lore” timeline and the “new lore” timeline. To give a short explanation, basically TinyBuild and the rest of the Hello ...
So now I've made a image version of the timelines, a text doc version of the timelines, now I just need to make the biggest and most challenging of all: a video format of the timeline
well this a lore breaker
well also SN is old lore and not new lore
and we dk whether HE is gonna be old or new lore but i hope its old lore bc this karma thing youve brought up makes sense
and before people say it cant be old lore bc of the retcon, its shown TB still sometimes makes games post-retcon that fit into old lore (diaries)
and then HE also started production pre-retcon so maybe they want to stay true to what they originally came up with
love this clarification, this is why in my timeline I put all 4 hello neighbor acts into one spot and put it in 2016-future because technically the entire game of HN1 takes place when nicky is an adult, its just a foggy retelling through a therapy session
(when I say timeline, i mean my old lore timeline)]
another reason why HE is prob old lore
hope it is bc HE being in old lore creates some symbolism
Basically, but real Act 2, which I call A2 Actual Escape, does happen during the early 2000s.
in new lore yes
in old lore that happens around 1997ish
im talking about old lore
HE is an older lore, which was said by many people who are solving the lore for HN
yes, one of them being me, while its not confirmed HE must be old lore
think about it
You may ask MouseFlash13, he even knows that it can be an older lore
ik me and him are hoping its old lore, it came out on stadia pre-retcon so it must be old lore
He even explained that HN2 and AS are the ones that are in the new lore, because they are changing the factors of the story for the older lore to the newer one
since the recent demo stayed true to original story from the stadia build
uhh its way simpler to just go by visual
aka my timeline
i made a visual of it
Ik, but that's what the CEO wants, a change of the story
no offense but i feel like this is obvious info we all know
are u talking ab the retcon? bc ofc i know about the retcon who doesnt
Ik, but since that's what I'm assuming, since ik most of the time, it is due to money and etc
Ik the retcon, thanks to the AS, and people in this server
you are correct, the whole retcon they made bc of the AS is for money
retcon timeline
Yep
old lore timeline since its peak
deleted the images since they didnt have my watermark and i dont want them being stolen
fixed
old lore timeline
I doubt they'll change HE to new lore, that would not only be a waste of time...actually that is all, it would just be a waste of time
I think it's ok to put it in old lore
I don't see why they would change it anyway
they had every chance to change HND and haven't
exactly my point
I feel like Otto might sound goofy in AS
he's gunna sound nasally or something
I bet this is how Otto would sound like
Yea probably, I’m kind of scared to see
I don't like Enzo's voice in the AS
I think they should have swapped Ivan and Enzo's voice actors
alex is going to
Do you guys know when ep 3 of the AS is dropping
once episode 6 is done
which btw all they need to do for episode 6 is audio its done being animated
so we can guess ep 3 will come out around early may
episodes 3, 4, 5 and 6 will be released weekly
starting prob early may but we dk the date yet
Thanks
np
HND is about recapping book 1
The remake is likely to have act 3 since it was the longest part of the game so shouldnt it be moved?
Also I would add secret neighbor to the new lore aswell since the AS will literally have it be part of it
the way Peterson holds Aaron is also very identical to how he held Allie in GN1
Isnt it a nightmare he has in his apartment? I dont recall any therapy session
They are?
no
but Alex said he doesnt like Enzo's voice
he didnt say that they are going to swap Enzo and Ivans voice actors
Yea, We saw these
yes thats why we dont need sn in new lore, bc AS is covering it and we have HNVR
the remake will probably fit new lore so no
bc in new lore it doesnt take place in future and rather when they are kids bc act 3 house is real now
no, alex confirmed it
include it just incase? so people arent confused
also I noticed you seemed to have changed your mind on the graphic novels?
thats dumb I get the distortions if its a nightmare but if its actually how he remembers it then he must have hit his head real hard
act 3 isnt the house tho
its nicky`s nightmare
seperate from the event
also as much as I love hello guest isnt it unfinished?
I doubt it can be even included
also I would put gn2 before hello guest
since ted was the guest in it
yes
notice how i said hn1 remake
when the remake comes out they will probably do story changes
this wasnt confirmed since im including hello guest alpha 1, i include it to use as an introduction to the guest bc i dont like how he randomly shows up in GN2
they would have to cut the longest part of the game for it
they might
it might not be a 4 act system since hn2 wasnt
we literally dont know anything about the remake either than that its happening
tb literally posted this
its canon to hg
i know but im ignoring that since its just alpha 1 and story wise we didnt know who the guest was back then, even if TB posted that around the same time
I dont think they would change that much
at that point it would be an entirely new game
he 100% is the guest in alpha 1
but the character doesnt know that yet
im sorry if im being nitpicky but it just doesnt seem to work for me
bc its just alpha 1
also what happens to Quentin/Beatrix?
but gn2 must have already happend in hg
it might have even damaged the park
also HG wasnt released
and the park was damaged in HG bc of the fire in book 6
the town was going to be in hg chapter clearly post flood looking at all the mess
and since its old lore the protagonist is basically just norman darby, since norman darby is the old lore version of quentin
and beatrix is just beatrix
idk man I would rather not include it or move it after gn2
yes, but for the last time, it wasnt fully released. this is just going off of alpha 1, which the whole game is just quentin (norman darby) or beatrix notice a storm in the park when watching it at night, and go to investigate, later getting taken by the guest (if u watch the extended ending)
ik what the game was going to be but it never came out so im going off of just A1 story, which didnt have a lot to it
the extended ending doesnt count since its unused normally
which means the hat man takes them
but it wasnt ever in-game so im not counting it
we wouldve seen it in game if it fully released
but again, it didnt
but that was clearly the intention
idk making it take place before gn2 just feels like cheating or like intentionally ignoring things to fit your own theory
ok then i am 
hg was unfinished I feel like it would be best to just not include it since it doesnt contribute to anything
i include it as an introduction to the guest
bc in old lore unless u count nog simming there is no prior knowledge to the guest's existence before gn2
it seems too random
idk thats just making things up at that point
i mean think about it
if u ignore all teasers and just go off of alpha 1:
the story is you play as a nighttime security guard monitoring the abandoned GAAP, you can either play as quentin/norman darby or beatrix, you make your way to the park when you notice a large storm near the statue, you go to investigate but encounter an entity named the guest, so you must avoid the guest while traversing the park and solving puzzles, by using hardware u buy at the store after every shift. once you make it past a specific building, it brings you outside the park to where a cutscene plays featuring a mysterious man pulling up in his car, and grabbing you
how? they look the exact same.
but quentin was clearly meant to be his own character
have u read the books
source?
but again, it never released so
here ill find it
in the alpha
when you save
it literally says "Quentin"
thats how we got his name
same with beatrix
thats why i said quentin/norman darby
and again they look the exact same
im trying to find the page
this is why people stopped calling him "Ike" or "Young Neighbor" 💀
I know what happens in them but unfortunately I literally cant buy them

i found it
"I step toward the voice to find someone not much bigger than me in size and stature. He's small to the point of looking almost frail, with glasses too big for his face on his slender nose. He wears a windbreaker and pants even though it's summer, and though his hair tries to hide underneath a baseball cap, there's only so much unruliness a hat can hide." Chapter 9, page 124
norman wears a baseball cap
quentin has a helmet in hg
yeah in HG, still shows that norman darby is old lore version of quentin
idk man
hg clearly wanted Quentin to be his own character
well it didnt full release so haha

Ikr, I feel like I noticed my own mistakes and realized I can live better with FG Quentin, so far life is good
I'm afraid the lore kept nonstop changing, as Carly also wrote the books, so nothing makes sense now
yay!
Oh but wait!
We got our lovely precious
Animated Series
That will explain everything!
Yes!
(Totally)
Is the blue basement door cannon
which game has a blue basement door???
ohh okay ty
I hope the first few episodes of the AS are just that weird therapy session
You'll see on ep10
still I dont get why Alex said act 1 and 2 are in a therapy session while they are quite clearly a nightmare
Because
all 3 acts are a therapy session, but alex is referring to hn1
the AS is different and the HN1 remake might also be
act 3 is nicky overcoming his trauma after moving right back to his old home which is a mess
that would just ruin everything act 3 was trying to do
ur prob right with that one but all im saying is hn1 is unrelated to AS, yes AS has an episode which will have smt to do with a therapy session but itll involve all the kids as adults, not the therapy session for hn1
two diff therapy thingies
shouldnt nicky be out of Raven brooks in episode 10?
I got the impression that he moved away not long after escaping
we dk yet bc AS isnt out
anybody know why in diaries the neighbor's house is different?
it looks different and in the books its described how it is in diaries
There you go
no it looks diff in the memories
but in the memories its supposed to be accurate not trauma
I dont recall trauma messing up the way the way you remember certain buildings
maybe events are fuzzy but still
(I might be saying total bs Im sorry If I am)
lemme look this up
Have you forgot
Hnd
Is act 3 sequel
Like literally
ok so something like this is happening to nicky?
does this mean in HND he is trying to correctly remember everything?
Yea
The whole story of HND is Adult Nicky trying to remember what happened to Aaron
He got over his Trauma of Mr. Peterson in act 3 and now he's trying to remember the exact memories
and in the EXACT MEMORIES the house is different
IK that, when i say memories i mean the exact memories which are supposed to be accurate
the house is still wrong in this picture
and then this game art:
and plus in the books the house is described differently than the act 1 house, despite the act 1 house being on the front cover
wdym thats a memory
Its just Artists that draws them are not being accurate, i dont think its related to lore
ok i get the game art thing but in the memory its supposed to look and be accurate
I dont think most of the memory art is too accurate
hm
Look at Long Leg Aaron for example
but also in the books the house is described differently
the 2nd floor is sounds like how it is in hn2
oh but also hn1 act 1 is a distorted memory so nicky prob doesnt remember the 2nd floor correctly
act 1 and the books have diff 2nd floors but it makes sense
u gotta accept the act 3 house is real
He isn’t trying to remember Aaron Specifically, he’s trying to remember it from his side of the story.
Wdym it’s described differently, it’s the same as Act 1.
Well yeah, since it’s Nickys wacky imagination.
in the text he describes the 2nd floor to be different
but also yknow
hn1 is inaccurate
I thought you meant exterior
no
Since you should that HND art
until we get the remake of course
i hope the remake happens.
Who knows still though
It’s a remake
yeah most likely the remake will fit new lore and not be a distorted memory
It’s gonna be the same
nah probably not
i mean
if you compare hn 1 with hn 2 do those games look slimar to one and another
Only problem I have is the weird extra floor the house has in AS, and most likely HNSR.
one is a distorted retelling, the other is a fully grounded story
yeah
Though most of the stuff is missing since the Devs never took in gameplay design
its not hn hide and seek then 1 any more
its more like
hide and seek
then hn 2
correct
i feel like if they just called the 2nd game a reboot
HNHS is apparently retconned from what I’ve heard, which doesn’t make sense to me since it still fits the current lore.
it would've fix the issue
nope it isnt
its confirmed HNHS is also new lore
Tell that to the supreme lore masters
i feel like if they just called the 2nd game a reboot, it would've fix the issue untill they have time to work on HN 1 remake
That’s the thing…it’s TB they don’t give a shit.
they do but sometimes they mess up and thats okay
other devs have must up with there games
i can kinda forgive them time to time
even tho sometimes i feel like i shouldnt.
but i do
Same
cant find screenshot but infront of the neighbors house in hn2 is a chalk drawing
with aaron's fire costume from HNHS
Huh
Ik that, I meant I don’t remember seeing it in the game.
check yourself
its a chalk drawing in front of petersons house
and plus AS ep 2 shows a scene from HNHS and AS and HN2 are a shared universe so boom
I’ll check later
You do realise that scene is from the books too, it’s a universal event, so it doesn’t count.
isnt it green
They should’ve went with the HN2 basement door, instead of a generic door that isn’t ominous whatsoever, like really the basement door in HN2 is spot on with the eerie vibe, meanwhile you got this shitty AS version.
I feel like HN2 door is a bit too colorful
the SN/HN1 menu door is far more fitting in my opinion
seriously its criminally underused
it really good

they should use that door but put the alpha 1 door handle on it
this alpha 1 coma story still confuses me
i get that our car gets hit with a utility pole but why was the neighbor on the road too? is the neighbor real or no? I understand this is very old scrapped story I just think it is interesting
nevermind
It wasnt just alpha 1 it existed since the prototype
I think its because ted was the last person he saw before the coma
I heard an interesting theory saying that the neighbor ingame was satan himself (who took the form of the last person you saw) and you were fighting for your survival
Which is well bizzare
A bit unrelated but I find interesting that all of plots used during the devrlopment of the game took place in the players head
From alpha 2 to beta 3 it was a nightmare about an abusive father from what I can tell
In fg all 3 acts are nightmares
First 2 being distorted memories
not alpha 2
alpha 2 was straight forward
alpha 3 didnt have much except the thing was there
Alpha 2 had an early draft of it so I included it
not really alpha 2 is literally about u moving in, the neighbor steals ur house and u get in the basement, and hes keeping a family down there
Alpha 2 is still clearly a dream
The house was very run down when you move in
Also theres a childrens bedroom there for no reason then
and alpha 4 and beta 3 had it so the neighbor was your dad and was abusive, so when u move back u have the trauma dream of the house being huge, but u face ur fear and in a secret beta 3 ending it shows that the basement was just a closet and u beat ur fear, then shows nicky start walking to the church to visit his fathers grave
it wasnt run down
ive created what i call the HN expanded universe, which is made up of multiple alternate timelines (the neighborverse lmaoooo)
Have you seen the state of it? Also why would he have a childrens bedroom
with the main one being the retcon/canon timeline
then with the most important alternate timeline being the old lore timeline since it used to be canon
and then all the alpha timelines can be percieved as alternate universes too
like the prototype-alpha 1 coma story, whatever alpha 2 was, the alpha 4-beta 3 father story
not counting alpha 3 bc it has nothing
so i like to percieve HN lore as its own like multiverse
with a bunch of different timelines, the main and canon one being the retcon timeline
and judging by the HE ending we know that alternate realities exist in HN
It was clearly still indending a similar story
I just group them cause its clear what story they did have wasnt all that far off from the hello dad plot
the only bit of alpha 3 lore was the ending which is just him crying and it looks like he just moved in, with The Thing being in one of the rooms
I think alpha 2/3 were an early draft of the hello dad plot
maybe
I really predicted the Guest Origin
Hello Neighbor: Welcome to Raven Brooks Season 2: into the Neighborverse
Nah Hello Neighbor: Welcome to Raven Brooks Season 2: Into the Quentinverse
We already know that
he got such a huge downgrade
poor soul
went to the wiki
how do we tell them?
LLet me tell you something..... What if Peterson in hn2 is not just a re-design, but it is him, but older? What if the Aaron (he is already not looking as he should in FG) as we saw him in the Museum, wasn't actually him? What if the guy, who hit us at the end of the game, IS the actual, grown up Aaron?
I know
And did we actually know the story after the act 3 and hnd?
We used to know what followed Act 3 and HND in the form of Book 7/Reset Day
The date 1996 being when the game happens (can be found on the be back in a few days thing Mayor has up before day 4 explaining why you can't go to his house):
(HN1 pre-retcon was in 1996 except for Act 3, which was in 2017)
reset day comes after those
bc thats all old lore
and hn2 is new lore, and in new lore it takes place way too early to have aaron be an adult
Soo... in the new lore, it is possible, that Nicky hadn't even knew Aaron? Because all the time he was in the attic?
Nicky never knew Aaron, but not because Aaron was in the Attic, but instead he's still in the Basement until New Lore's version of Act 2
Nicky never calls Aaron by name in the AS (he doesn't name drop Mya(I know her name is now Mia but I don't care) either) so he probably didn't know either of them
he just calls them "Peterson's Kids"
This makes it likely he never met them
(He also thinks they're dead, something he probably wouldn't want to think about if he knew them)
When what is the deal of the memories in hnd? I think they are clearly showing the opposite
HND is Old Lore
You can tell because they use the name Mya and it directly copies text from the books
I dont get why they made nicky and Aaron no longer friends
Again, the Neighborverse)
MITH?
Or missing journalist?
That one guy who fought the guest in hello guest
Shows up hidden in hello neighbor 2 alpha 1 a#
Yes
Yea him cause it can be him who hit us from the back from the ending cutscene
Well he is canon to SN because he was an event so it’s kinda hard to answer that, ask a lore master about that
Well Michael does know more about the lore
He has an entire paragraph of the lore from Peterson birth to the game now
I’d say ask Luke.org or MichaelHuff
Yea Michael huff has a huge page of the lore
In my old account he gave me the page but I lost it lol
But I would say MITH is canon
I hope so

Because if not it’s like they made him for nothing
Same for that other lady I forget names 😭
Beatrix?

Yup
Her name is Beatrix
