Otto doesnt really have a connection to the cult other than the key, and that key is in a safe that's buried on his yard, so he might not even be the one buried it there
plus, judging all the interviews he gave to the banner, its clear that hes trying to expose the cult
just like how Adelle and Roger tried to by befriending Darby
He's more of a town's conspiracy guy, than a member of a cult
exactly
the place he lives is also pretty separated from the town
just like Ryland from the books
she lived in an underground bunker as she feared the cult
I believe he has raven statues and eye pictures around his house, correct me if I'm wrong
I'm pretty sure he doesnt have raven statue in his house
let me check
Nope, He doesnt have any raven statue or eye picture in his house
I feel like I would have remembered that
anyway I expect this sort of stuff from the mayor
that's strange
At the beginning of the game in Quentin's cluebook, the places that are marked as suspicious are Ted's house, otto's house, and the museum
Ted's house has raven statues and eye portraits for some strange reason, the museum has FP shrines everywhere, but Otto has nothing
gerda has a raven statue and eye portraits, and the mayor has an entire secret FP room
which book
It was the puzzle master iirc
do you know what chapter or page
I never really liked puzzle master
Nope, I dont remember that
Okay, my bad, thanks for making it clear
the think is
he does NOT
he does NOT have crow statues or eye paintings or golden apples
someone already told me he doesn't
What's the point in reviving this discussion if you know it's already been resolved?
I wasnt sure if you saw or not
thats cuz Otto is suspicious
he lives in isolation
and has a gun
ofc any normal person will be suspicious of him
but the thing is, he knows about the cult
according to Darby, everyone who knows about the cult are in danger of getting killed
where is that clip from?
The clip that says "Kid, I'm the Mayor of Raven Brooks"?
is the scout being missing canon or is this an oversight?
I dont think we know anything about that
its actually an alpha kid, but whatever
erm well acksually SN uses that poster for scout so it's scout now
But I do think this is just an oversight
maybe scout dies in AS?
she was going to 910 in friendly court to sell cookies and didnt notice the beartrap
Yea
u figured it out now?
im not an AS enthusiast
Its not so hard to figure out, you dont need to be an AS enthusiast
Finch is the scout
Scout Finch sounds similar to one of the main characters in to kill a mockingbird
I doubt this is intentional though
delroy is just delroy?
I have been trying to avoid the AS as much as possible
It would be cool if it was intentional
you are giving the AS writers too much credit
It would
Well he isn’t actually wrong half of the doors led to odd places sometimes
if I knew how to model and make mods for hn2 I would add in Nicky`s house
words cannot describe how the green houses pisses me off
Well they did say it was a turquoise green color, I’d like it if they brought the HND and AS house as the house IMO.
A.K.A the Nicky memory house
(Ik this is a stupid question) Are the alphas cannon?
No
Of course not
Mr. Apple here at night? That's crazy
are the spinoffs cannon? like secret neighbor, hello engineer, hello neighbor diaries ect.
Probably but maybe not due to the Animated Series retconning the original lore
ok. are the books cannon, or anything like that?
Yeah they used to be cannon
Now it's not anymore
Because the Animated Series changed most of the story
oh
Some are, HE is, SN is but it’s the Kids imagination of a plan, HND is supposedly Canon even though the Memories are from the Book Canon.
The comment you made was 6 PM for me
Oh 😭 its schools days tho
Eh I don’t really care
Non of my concern
I already suffered school days anyway
But only few weeks left till school is finally over
Are the weird Unrealengine missing script things and the cube the appears after 10 mins cannon?
Error World is part of a different storyline
I got pinged
Diffrent!?!?
yes all the games are canon
the only thing not canon in the franchise are the alphas/demos and now, the books
all the rest are canon
so what about error world?
no
good
error world is ARG
There was an arg!?!?
yes
did people solve it?
Ive been gone for to long
error world arg was there back in 2018?
Im pretty sure it started in alpha 3 with the QR codes
Hello someone speaks Portuguese
#portuguese-chat is for that
Everything else is english
(Except for the other language channels)
Nope
Trinity doesn't move in until after Mya/Mia and Aaron go missing in AS
The Books have Trinity in town before any of the other characters move in
Even Book 1 has Trinity directly in it
and that's just the confirmed part
Nicky is implied to not know Mia/Mya and Aaron
I refuse to accept that Mia is her new official name
Miaaaaa!
How did the neighbors house go from being burned down in hn1 ACT3 to looking like how it did in act1 in hn2?
That's because Hello neighbor 2 takes place BEFORE act 3
And it's after act 2
oh
Odd if that’s true how does the cycle end?
Cycle?
Prob Retconned
We don’t know for sure if those things are still canon
But it’s a safe bet
That is probably retconned
the luck device is probably not canon anymore most likely
it must've been replaced by the golden apple coin since they both seem to carry the same function
The book reset day (which takes place after act 3) had it remain intact but heavilly vandalized
So theres a chance it wont be burnt down
I feel like the reason why it was burnt down in act 3 was because after the vandals vandalized and put graffiti all over the place in reset day they later then lit the house on fire
that's why it's nothing but wooden beams and broken wood
now
No, Reset Day was before Act 3, since the Peterson House isn’t burned down in Reset Day.
Uhh no?
That prob what was gonna happen maybe to end it all
The house was retconned
Uhh yeah
Explain
Act 3 is in like 2015
Reset day is like 2021 as I heard or closer to that date
This isnt the first time the books retconned something
We’re talking back when they were canon
Yes that was the Case, but that was retconned after they Confirmed that the House did get burned down, in 2021 there was a Teaser message saying that the HN2 ending would explain who burned the house down, obviously that didn’t happen cuz of retcon, but since were talking back then that was the case.
The retcon that changed the dates also made the books non canon
Reset day DID take place after act 3 before the retcons
Yoy are like the only person I met that thinks reset day is before act 3
No not back then, Act 3 never had a specific date, it was all speculation.
Go back to 2021 during lore chat, everyone agreed that was the case.
Now they dont?
Yeah cuz of AS and Retcon
Ok so reset day was made non canon why would its placement change?
Well AS, Reset Day doesn’t work in the new canon, cuz of where it’s based to take place after, by that I mean story.
Another thing was that Nicky had self therapy during Act 3, it was never a dream, just him rethinking his Trauma, which explains the Abilities as he learns to get past those traumas.
Act 4, was a finale battle against that trauma, at the end he realised Peterson wasn’t that bad of a guy but just grieving.
Basically
Back then
Books 🤝 Games
Now
AS 🤝 Games
if act 3 was still probably canon I would imagine Nicky roth telling his whole story to a therapist like maybe a cutscene or something but it's real now
Yeah
why did they have to make act 3 canon
Good Question, here’s the answer: ||There isn’t one it’s just BS||
true you're right at this point they're just going back and forth making the story more confusing
They just wanna make kids watch it
I mean I understand that the AS was gonna originally go with the book lore but they thought it wouldn't do well with animation but I think it would've been an awesome idea
This is why I say a PG 13 show ran by Nikita would be so good
sadly nikita doesn't have as much contribution with HN as he did before
Just imagine how Bad-ss Ted can be
Yeah
I want to know how the AS ends though I'm still excited to see where they're gonna bring it next
The finale will be in Mayak
I think it would be too cliche but what if in the end the neighbor sees his family for the last time in actuality
That would be cool
I dunno if his parents are still canon though they're not mentioned unless they will be at some point
they're probably still canon
Yeah
welp I gtg thx for the lore conversation
Cya
cya
it wasnt before act 3
it was after
Peterson house being there is just an inconsistency or a retcon
the workers mentioned that its been 25 years since the park was covered by cement
it was covered by cement in 1996 by Earthpro in book 3
that means reset day takes place in 2021
anyway, its no use arguing about reset day as its not canon anymore
Tc if people want to pretend new lore does not exist just let them
The best way to show Alex no one is happy with this change of lore is to not even talk about it
so be like game theory?
Yes. Show that you do not give a crap
Why don't we just ignore Alex when he comes in to show us some AS teasers while we talk about HN2 or old lore related
Agreed but really?, that doesn’t explain them bringing up the Burned up House for HN2 that one time, but okay.
they never?
they never said that HN2 would explain how the house burned
tho one day Alex said that HNHS will reveal who burned down the house
he didnt say HN2
was :(
are the mannikins in hn1 fake? In the game, they only appear when Niki is dreaming(act3, and the basements.).
Ahh got em mixed up
There in AS, and they appear in Act 1 basement so yeah there real.
Yeah but the act 1 basement also seems fake. in hn2 its just this small thing. but in hn1 its huge! Also whats AS?
You don't want to know
But I do
You don't
Ok so get all the previous lore and story of the games and books, and just wipe it off the face of the earth
none of it matters anymore
that's the AS
the cartoon
Yes it is
if it is how does it shrink in hn2
ok, so how does it shrink
the devs didn't care enough to implement a large basement
canonically it's still huge, but EGS for some reason didn't incorporate it into HN2
I remember ari said she found herself lost in the basement when she played it it was an old version I think
probably it was during the time AI trailer aka alpha 2
One message removed from a suspended account.
I remember too
You do realise the underground, is through the Washing Machine, which disappeared in HN2, but still exist in lore canon.
There’s a thing called “retcon”
but its still a maze in AS tho
they are in he
there are hints that they are sentient
one is drunk and depressed
well, in the old lore they were sentient robots
in the books they were sentient robots who served for Peterson
Idk in the new lore
seems like it was sealed off
they didnt even bother to add Nicky`s house
they made a model
but cut it?
they cut an entire section?
Idk, but fun fact: in hn2 there is more reserved space for the basement, you can even clip there
can you show me it?
Sorry, Not rn, but I will show you soon, or you can do it by yourself, if you use a bug in hn2 demo, or download an editor mod.
I dont have the demo
That is alright, As I said, I will show you later, ok?
k
here:
they had his house in alpha 2
yes, it is
Ohhh i've never realized that area, I saw it but i always thought it was just the normal basement
Thats really interesting
im going to fire alex for something
He just escaped the Basement during HN2
Game design reasons
damn looks like Nicky got dementia
hey everyone! back from my 1 week hiatus, any new lore points people have made?
Nope
Not even patch 8 gave us anything lore related
anybody have any revelations and realizations ab the lore..?
like realize something
or make an interesting connection or point
book pictures of mya in hn2, interesting... 
Me when retcon
also i have proof HE is new lore
more book images
yeah ur right
they altered some to fit retcon i think
yeah thats odd
Weirdly enough
Don't tell me HN2 is like part of the book lore cuz if it is, then this sequel is pointless now
i mean hnhs is new lore too
Its jut some illustrations from books, i dont think it means the books are canon
I know books are retconned
butttt hn2 takes place in 1996
for some reason
My head hurts
Imma just Yoink!
since @strange lance was considering it old lore
Yeah cuz inventors club 🤓
nah even more proof
Mr. Peterson is the killer
lemme pull the image up
Aight
Whats the more proof?
Aight, time to see more proof
It's also listed when Alex was talking about the Guest and tying the games into the definitive canon(AS) so I'd say that's enough proof
hmm
that park entrance looks familiar
doesnt it
noticed it when i was replaying hn2
Bruh
it was mainly directed to @strange lance
With the Goose mascot
yep
Alright so Roger and Adelle Peterson still exist in the new lore
At least
I'm assuming they also create new lore Mayak
Thats good
Just like in Old Lore
Mayak origins are the same
well we know this bc alex said while the books arent canon anymore they took elements of it for new lore (roger and adelle, mayak origins, and i think the family being cursed)
It's just the appearance that's changed
Cuz retcon
Eh, Not much. Roger just looks more like Ted
Like father, like son ig

i do believe the family is cursed, but not in the way it happened in books where the luck device got buried under the ground
maritza old design moment
I think they just didnt had time, or forgot to edit that
we know the cult is trying to get peterson bc of the tapes, and apparently mya and diane is the cult's fault
I was talking about the Mayak
its unused so it doesnt matter for now
I actually like this
i like AS mayak
lemme see
but I never understood the eye
its always been there its a signature part of mayak
Let me see if i can find it
Yeah AS Mayak is actually a better design then HG Mayak
To see
isnt it a weather balloon with an eye spray painted on it
but like why would someone build that to a weather station?
But let's not forget HE Prototype Mayak my Beloved
i think its an attached weather balloon
eh
unpopular opinion: HE mayak is trash
the purple ball is just...
I'd say it's one of the better designs for what they were trying to do
I found it
But overall yeah I'd say it's better then HG but worse then AS
love it apple!
HE? yeah
Oh wow that looks accurate
(I have no clue where to put GN2 Mayak on the Mayak rankings)
Thank you !
Put it in A
It do be decent
Me when someone actually built that as a weather station...
Time to pull up a poorly made Tier List and throw together a Mayak Design Tier List
bc its a weather balloon with an eye painted on it..
or someone said that idk
i feel like gn2 mayak did have the eye we just dont see the top of it
i mean its old lore and new lore, which both have the eye so
I hope Roger and Adelle aren't Forest Protectors Cultists in new lore
Mayak from HN2 is so popular that they made it in real life😱

Mayak is one of my favorite HN building tbh
fax
what?
or revealing some of old lore to still be canon
Those pictures were added in this update right?
I think hes talking about Roger and Adelle
oh yeah
Yea, They came with patch 8
He is still here
Yea i think
yippee
he went from being someone we wanted to kick out to being a meme
PoV: You go from people wanting to kick you out to being a meme on the server
Luis Lopez Lore:
I wonder what can be next for this game or will it end as we all think it should end…act 3 of hn1
broooooooo why are the patches for console not out its only like patch 2 on xbox but PATCH 8 ON STEAM when are they updating it on xbox????
shoot sorry
the secret recording sent to youtubers does confirm that the family is still cursed by cult and Peterson is seeking for revenge
new lore sucks
IMO the new cult lore is pretty sick
The idea of there big plan this whole time was summoning a Demon is cool
How do we know it was intentional
Nightmare #3 and the Crow attacking the Realtor(Who's likely a cultist) (Edit: oh, and Patch 3 tapes) imply the Guest turned against the cult
There's two options as to why, either the demon(Guest) backstabbed them or the summoning was a accident
the realtor probably isn't a cultist
her selling a house she knows someone died in is because greed is a thing
But the Pin Board in Peterson's House seems to be (mostly) about the Cultists
and the Realtor is on there
making it highly likely she's a cultist
(+ the GA Coins seem to be a signature of a cultist in New Lore and she has one)
Imma talk more tomorrow, cya chat
Yeah that one
I know for a fact Otto isn't a cultist because he doesn't have any raven or eyeball imagery in his house
Didn’t I already prove that, he disobeyed the Cult.
Literally has a key for the Museum, in his backyard buried, also everyone has that eye ball thing in there house, Ted has it and yet he ain’t for sure a cultist, so does the Banner.
show me the one in the Banner
Well, we don’t know that for sure, that wouldn’t make sense since M.J. Had one in the Blocked off Catacomb, we don’t know for sure if that’s his but it highly was, but that theory works.
Oh my god fine
Gimme a couple minutes to log in
and I'm pretty sure it isn't in otto's house
i got it
I checked for it the other day and couldn't find it
it's hidden in the corner
Thanks mouse
that's definitely weird
Whenever the eye portrait is used, it's always in connection with the FPs. The Mayor's cult room has it, there's one in the bakery next to the gold raven statue
Even though there’s a big one in the Mayors hidden room
It's either the golden apples, the crow statues, or the eye paintings. Any will work
Wait so the eye is the cult's symbol?
no
Ottos definitely a Cult member, like I said Gameplay isn’t Lore canon, but the story is, any lore features don’t work unless it’s considered a pet of the “Lore Exploration catalogue”.
then again
the devs were very nutty when placing the eyes
There's eye portraits in the mayor's cult room and next to the gold raven statue in the bakery, but there's also one hidden in the Banner and one on the second floor of Ted's house
I don't like the new eye paintings they suck
if they are a symbol for the cult at least make it look cool
Gameplay doesn’t count as lore if not Lore Exploration, in simple terms.
the cult was for Bill cipher the whole time
I think the best way to tell if someone is in the cult is to just look for the golden apples, it's that simple
and every location except the banner and Otto's has them
That’s why the version of the Museums placement for example isn’t canon, as it’s supposedly deep in the woods.
And also Keys from the Museum.
true
Even though Ted basically tankers with the whole place with his Engineering skills
You know what's weird? in Quentin's cluebook at the beginning of the game, there are three locations marked: Ted's house, the museum, and Otto's house. The only one that makes sense is Ted's house. Otto isn't a part of the FPs and nobody knows that Ted is in the museum
the bakery and mayor's house, despite being the homes of two cult members, aren't highlighted
Bro Otto is a cult member, those marks were the people he had suspicions of being the person who Kidnapped the Kids.
he's not
He has no raven imagery, eye portraits, or golden apples in his house
And if we're to believe the FPs were responsible for the disappearance of MJ, then I doubt Otto would hurt his best friend
The Museum was a connection to M.J. Since he knows he is a replacement for him and wants to know what happened, in short Quentin is a repeat of M.J. Mistakes
so um new discovery I just found, the only thing Otto has is a crow statue, stashed on a shelf in the basement in a dark corner
that's it
Bud, look back at what me and Mouse said, any connections to the Museum and trying to stall any evidence from it, means your a Cult member, also AS was to be showed every Cult Member, wouldn’t you know it, Ottos in there.
meanwhile gerda and mayor tavish have cult stuff everywhere
Otto is suspicious because bro has a gun
He isn’t a Tavish, that’s retconned, Research.
the mayor has golden apple crap everywhere
heck, he even has a golden apple fountain in the front of his house
Yes he is the Owner of GA, but Tavish was retconned, there’s no current evidence of him being Tavish, also Cough Cough…Tavish was a white guy.
Anyways
I wouldn't be surprised if they just changed his race considering Maritza
was about to say that
'Merica
No proof, no shit.
"No shit"
All I got to say
is his house having the highest concentration of golden apple stuff not evidence?
Is AS retconning things, along with the fact anything not proven in AS means it doesn’t exist, not enough Evidence?, until it gets proven, No proof no Shit.
Anyways
Goose man
Whats its exact height
I mean
There’s this
But there’s no exact Heights
Also this isn’t one to one, Quentin being arched doesn’t mean he’s taller, they just used Images
I still like the Guest being unnaturally tall
I’d say Guest is like a good 6’6
In Feet
Nah he Shag height
That’s a good Question, better idea
Who would be the best Character in the Lore at basketball?
Immediately removing the Mayor
Ted and Quentin too short
Hmm
It’s either the Guest for his wacky Flexibility, or Gerda for her Height.
Gunter 👍
Cya
HN lore:
Alex to literally 90% of old lore:
agreed, you literally described the new lore
theres no way Otto is a cultist
if he was a cultist, he wouldnt have given so many interviews to the banner
You do have to remember the Banner's main reporter at the time was friends with Otto
exactly
if he was a cultist, he wouldnt be friends with anyone other than the cultists
I agreed
he also wouldn't kill his best friend
Wouldn’t make sense but ok, Ig Otto for some reason has a key for the museum buried in his yard.
If it’s for the Cult yes
That deletes Neilson and Leslie’s friendship, Ik there partnered but there buds too, The investors are something as well.
he's not gonna pick a cult over his best friend
Literally the point of the Cult is having power and gaining control no matter what, also he didn’t kill him, from what we know it was the Mayor, and he could easily get forced too, since all they would need to do is curse him with Bad Luck, it’s so simple and yet disagreement with no evidence, what ever happened to AS showing Cult members, what happened to Otto having a Safe with one of the Cult stolen keys in his backyard, also multiple people have gotten interviewed, him going to interviews doesn’t spill him as a Cult member out of everything it hides it more.
We will have to see AS and what they got
If they don’t spill anything then that further proves it
Oh it will spill anything
As HN2 was literally about Quentin figuring out the different cult members, but for some reason Otto is in there as well, hUH hoW CoMe??.
Agreed
Otto in a cult 🤭
Otto is suspicious because he lives far from town and has a gun that he frequently walks around with
Like bro, they all were having the same secret and that was being Cult members, wth was Ottos then.
Taxidermist left the chat
Da key 🤯
What 🤯
Idk 🤯
Holy crap it’s a Museum key too 🤯
Maybe it means nothing! 🤯
the key is just there because of gameplay reasons
It’s literally Lore Exploration it’s in the CCTV
Hn2 was more about "saving" Aaron
It’s part of the Lore catalogue omg
Than figuring out the cult
Yeah but I meant the Town secrets
Well Quentin was too focused on Aaron..
Bruh, Egg, this guy think Otto is a normal dude.
Yeah he only cared about the Keys
he isnt a cult member tho
he lives seperated away from the town
Why do I feel like MJ is just giving Quentin hints to show which place to break in to help him unlock the basement
But there is Nightmare 3
and he still keeps a photo of mj next to his bed
Dumb theory but idk why I thought of that
Prob cuz he’s sad
so he still cares about his friend
He’s a cult member for sure
why would he kill mj??
Or act like nothing has ever happened
He didn’t that was the Mayor
theres no indication that he is a cult member other than the key
Exactly cover up so simple
That’s not good enough
Your telling me
earlier you said the key was proof Otto is a cult member, now you're saying it's not enough proof
He have some hay outside 🤯
Maybe secret entrance
Hmmmmmmm
ive seen piles of hay like that irl
Welp this is definitely a lore-discussion
its just a normal pile of hay
Bro somehow has a Key to the Museum, hides it in a a Safe buried, and is guarding it, and has been silent since M.J. Went missing, and Quentin is pin pointing him with the Cult, the Museum has him written on there, and he isn’t a member.
you guys are all freaking insane
I know right!
That's why we need mat pat!!!
Not what I meant
Jk jk
He's saying there being no indication OTHER then the key is not good enough proof that he not in cult
Best thing to say now is guilty till proven innocent
- Let's not forget the room in the Museum
Let me see that old rigggid, man being sus.
Lol
That pin board is clearly about Cultists
However, there is a possibility....
that Otto was a cultist but isn't anymore
Otto is the cult 🤯
Just say everyone is a cultist except Ted for the time
Ted having a Cult painting left the chat, Quentin having one hidden left the chat.
That'd explain why he doesn't have cultist stuff
Even Aaron 🤯
That’s what I’m saying
Lol
Even Trinity?
It's like the trash version of the court of owls
and Rodolpho(Fan name for the Janitor) is a no
Why would he still have the Key though
I'm taking into account that the safe is buried
the eye portraits are very clearly related to the FPs
As for why there's one in Ted's house and one in the Banner, I'm going to assume the devs couldn't figure out how to make the interiors look good and decided to place random shit everywhere
Oh ok
He's trying to forget about his time in the cult
Well he did a poor job doing it lol
You could say the exact same with Otto though, too lazy to add shit.
Cuz quing tons found it
I’m gonna real quick log on and check the museum
Honestly I like the theory but besides gameplay just throw it in the lake
Literally right beside your house
Gotta love retconned lore
Or else he'd have the safe somewhere inside of his house
But since it's vague about why it's buried he could still be a cultist in the present
yeah no i think the coins are just there when a death occurs
That’s why Mayor most likely killed M.J. In the blocked catacomb
Bruh what if Otto just started shooting cultists
kayam maybe? 
nah it was the guest probably
The Painting of the Forest Protector's show them with a GA Coin which is why I even thought they were connected to the cult in the first place
or FPs
i see where ur coming from, i just think the death theory is more likely
It’s definitely Cult, since he would’ve never gotten that Tape.
but yours made sense its not like it was irrassional or anything
Yeah the death theory is probable
my brother in christ
he is GREED
he takes whatever he wants from people
Okay wait
if MJ is dead then who knocked out Quentin in the ending?
He is literally one of the 7 deadly sins
the guest takes things from people to make them appreciate the people in there life after they are gone
I hate full game Quentin
so yeah greed
flooding a town does that?
Maybe Otto was greedy somehow so the guest killed mj
Perhaps we could see the cult try to summon demons that are manifestations of the other 6 deadly sins
IDK what Otto could do tho
So uhh we know Ted been pin pointing the Cultist in the Museum right?
no the neighbor flooding the town was set in motion before he was possessed and a whole seperate thing ted did as revenge against the FPs
He's
just there
mysterious creature
With that ahem to those who say Otto isn’t a Cultist, please explain this:
he is a terrorist not a cultist
MJ clearly wasnt killed by the guest but rather the FPs, and it was because he got to close to the truth
not funny..
Most shit answer of all time
terrorism isnt funny dude
thats the point
never said it was?
clearly ur joking
and making a joke ab that is messed up
ill find it rq
👍
bro called me a goofy kid 💀
I didnt mention anything specific that would offend anyone I dont get why you are so upset
@fiery otter please explain
Are you a kid?
I feel like he got to close to the truth is just a rushed answer
no, are you?
if I mentioned a specific tragic event for a comedic reasons then it would be messed up
Teds been fishing on some people and uhh, huh, wouldn’t you know it, Ottos on there.
Didn't he said something about he was 14?
No
Lore: The Guest is 1 of the 7 deadly sins but physical.
Idk
Also a Entity, most likely Demonic.
well notice how he is a journalist and was killed in the catacombs, probably because he even FOUND the catacombs. and wouldnt ya know, the catacombs are the meeting spot of the cult
is it this deep
it was summoned by the Cultists during a ritual before turning on them do to wanting everything for itself (Greed)
that evidence board doesn't have any evidence for any characters, it's clear to me that they just threw it together in an attempt to have a bit of "story"
The retcon lore gets deeper...
Yeah
Yup, by disobedience.
He ran off from what was presumably the Cage in the Attic
Ok but with most things I thought they would go more in depth
Makes sense but still
This cult has control of the highest of positions in Raven Brooks, including the Chief of the Police and the Mayor of the town
oh yeah forgot ab that, i dont think ted built a cage in a few days. but also according to AS he builds the act 3 house in a few days so...
Which explains why Quentin doesn’t go to the Police.
They have been shown to be willing to go as far as to kill people to further their goals and/or protect themselves
Since besides gameplay anyone with a fire extinguisher could find the tapes
and baker who is prob just a member bc she was saved by keith in the halloween incident all those years ago, and im guessing they became friends so she was brought into the cult
Also he did literally booby trap and construct a ton of shit in the Museum.
yeah
Technically at least
Yeah
how do we know the police are part of the cult?
Or, she saw her friends get hurt by the Cult, Neilson forced her to be a cultist, and they went on with there lives.
We don't know if they'll do a time skip of ~2 months from Ep. 4 to Ep. 5 so...
So the lore is still super confusing
Yeah
The cult stuff and guest
Anyways Coolwing couldn’t answer my question so I guess I won
I would like that the cult persuaded gerda to try to help with her trauma after the Halloween case
Sounds good to
It's possible the Halloween Incident was caused by the Peterson's
Since they're the only family linked to Weather like Storms
Give more specific reasons for them to join besides that there are just in raven Brooks
Do we still not know how the cult summoned the guest
still building the act 3 house in a few months is just insane
Nope, prob whatever the investors took.
It's implied through the Museum Key, and Nielsen getting promoted by someone we know is a cultist implies him being a cultist too.
Like the cult said the would help Keith with the nog simming case
What is your personal theory
That's the main evidence I can think of on the top of my head
If you have one
GAC ig
#nog-simming is non-canon
it never was canon
Nevermind then
Was a fan novel made by Ira correct?
I guess
Ari, not Ira, but yes, pretty much
Mayor was prob greedy and the cult got him as mayor
as for the halloween incident, honestly since the GNs are canon it would be cool to get a 3rd one for the halloween incident. especially since we need more info on what happened that night, but its not worth making a whole game or novel about. a graphic novel would be perfect
No he was definitely very rich
dude if they ever did one of those again id make a banger
It's only canon parts are the character names (Nielsen, Leslie)
GN still canon?
yep
if u want an explanation why tell me
No I think I would know why
good
Kinda like Quincy Sharp in Arkham City
hn2 refferences them a few times
the 1984 safe code is a refference to bosco bay (the park opening)
It's also possible that Leslie is a cultist, but we don't got enough on him to know for sure
Do we know who created the cult or
and the goose causing a car crash
was ab to say that
I want to believe it's a reference to doomsday (late April 2022)
Ahh
and this might be a stretch but the whole ted-coming-after-your-camera-which-has-evidence-on-it in the intro is kinda referencing bosco bay 
If he is, that would make sense why Ted head bash Jrs him.
It seems like Ted hasn’t found out Nielsons a Member
i feel like leslie wont be a cultist since hes just a deputy and rather he will get bonked bc he entered the peterson house (as shown in a teaser) and i hope this is true bc it will be an interesting dynamic when leslie finds out his boss is a cultist
That scene feels like it'll be Ep. 6
Yeah, also he’s like the most chill character.
Ep. 3 has Leslie in a forest
Now that I have think about it why wouldn't Ted just break the camera with the shovel
yeah ik u tried using this in an argument to prove that otto is a cultist but since Keith isnt there i dont think that board is totally accurate
he stole the film
it will
Which is where the head bashing happens
But the whole cameras in the safe
True, but everyone else is on there including Otto, and it is considered Lore Exploration.
Just break the camera or rip the film
He could’ve just yk, not figured out he’s a Cult member
Again maybe he got confused and thought Leslie was the cultist
probably, and just ahead of time incase anyone tries to use this to say Keith isnt a cult member or just still doesnt believe he is one
there is literally a tape of the mayor telling Keith to find peterson
Yeah…
and he thought Leslie had died during Ep. 3, but we don't know for sure
True, that could be why he chose to search the House.
and since we know mayor is a cultist i think this is enough evidence
well they must be idiots because the museum is right next to the bakery
In all his tasks he looks at different pieces of evidence.
Also I think Nielsen's the one to give Gerda one of the Museum Keys
But that isn’t Lore exploration
Yup in the CCTV
The HN2 map isn’t canon bro
AS is
And according to the lore
The Museum is deep in the woods
well i think they didnt think to check the museum because they already locked it up to cover up the guest summoning that happened prior to peterson fleeing
and I could've sworn the CCTV showed Leslie giving Nielsen something
how is this true AS never said this
no it just shows leslie saying goodbye to keith and driving away
No, based on the Descriptions of the Towns places.
the AS will explain all the events that happen in the background/lead up to hn2
but according to Alex, everything is canon 🤓
that was a joke
I know
Yeah you're right
I just didn't see it correctly I guess
its wtv
There’s this paper, while yes I understand that Image was from the Stranger Neighbor vid, Its considered Lore Exploration.
it looks fine in fg
this isn't from stranger neighbor and this doesn't imply the museum is deep in the woods
Meanwhile also the RBBArchives Site:
Image part of lore exploration
Yup
how does this manage to have better looking city buildings than fg
Wait-
that museum image is from fg, meaning there's hardly any foliage around it
Also Also the RBB Archives Site using the HN2 Map:
No, it’s definitely part of the Secret Neighbor.
BRB
what are you talking about, your sentence makes no sense
what does lore exploration mean?
SN and SN
Well, the image of the museum is from fg
Meanwhile the City’s in the wrong direction
Let’s put it side by side
and you just said the image part of lore exploration
He's probably wording it that way bc of the Road Map
Since SN is the kids imagination are the events how they think things happened as they learn new things
Or just there for lore
Yuh
This image more clearly shows the HN2 Map in it
Yup it’s Secret Neighbor, the Walls are further in, and also it’s 180 from the Musuem and you can see the same Pole in the back.
Yeah
the first one you have to rely on it being from the HN2 Press Kit as proof, this one shows the Mayor's House in it, so RBB Archives uses HN2 as the canon map
Anyways Coolwing still got that explanation for this:
what's from secret neighbor?
Sorry Stranger Neighbor
Are they just trying to get their money's worth for the SN kids design's
I think he's confusing SN (Video Game), SN (Board Game), and SN (Video)
There is absolutely no reason to use them
Yeah, but, this is part of the HN2 site it would be really ironic to use AS instead.
Too bad it's now retconned
bro that is NOT stranger neighbor
180 degrees
Meanwhile the under construction text linking to the AS Site:
Is the board game relevant in any way
Nah
???
180
Idk what you mean
I feel like saying half of hello neighbor in general is imagination it would actually make sence
Will you answer this please, explain this:
You can’t seem to the past 3 times
Mmm glued coins
dude give up he wont explain it
Ik its funny
Holy shit I already did
#lore-discussion message
coins? boy those are pins
"that evidence board doesn't have any evidence for any characters, it's clear to me that they just threw it together in an attempt to have a bit of "story"" - Coolwing79's honest response
Bro it’s literally Lore Exploration, like I said same thing can be said with Ottos house, 😂.
Lol
your grammar does not make any sense
Why’s this such a good background
yeah know the image from the rbb archives sight of the museum does not mean its deep in the woods..
In simple terms, Lore exploration is just Lore that isn’t Gameplay reasonings.
A bit of topic but I wondered what the hello dad plot would have been if they kept it
cough cough act 3 house being canon in AS before hn2 cough
Off
Not saying that, but it’s old Beta descriptions said that, got them mixed up.
probably what it was in the beta since the beta was the most polished version of the Hello Dad story
okay so u understand it isnt?
We need Mat pat to help us..
I feel like most other games wouldn't hav existed
is this satire or what idk what matpat has to do with this image
Hide and seek would not exist
Nerdbor
correct
Dude that's just my honest reaction
Didn’t I just bring up Gameplay not being canon but the Detailed Lore Exploration is, for instants, the Pictures of MIa around Teds bedroom
I made my own version of the hello dad plot once
And the mat pat part was just a reference to that 4 year old tweet Tinybuild spammed Mat pat cuz why not joke about it again
What about the pictures that ain't Mya that were intended to show up but don't
uhh yeah i was agreeing with what u said by giving an example..
They aren’t there, and are they Lore?, if yes then that’s a problem.
aka the AS act 3 house
Oh sorry
ur good
Proof it's not stranger neighbor
One of them has a redesigned Roger and Adelle Peterson in it
Is there anything worth mentioning behind the chained door in Ted's house
he already knows that the museum isnt deep in the woods
yes
Meaning yes it's... KINDA lore
yes
Ok
The fact they even bothered to redesign Roger Peterson means it's probably canon
Huh weird, send a pic I find that interesting, cuz if that’s the Case then that would further give to the old Bad Luck curse on the Petersons along with the Lore Packages.
Alright then
I only have the complete texture sheet on me (Bottom Left Image is the "Roger Peterson" Image)
Oh shoot, is that Adelle or Diane, of that Women?
But at the same time she kinda set some things in motion
The retcons!!!
She’s prob still Alive in new lore
Wait fr
I can't tell if you're joking or not
Funny how book Martitza is still the same
I mean, idk who that’s supposed to be, cuz I don’t know if Adelle got a redesign.
While Diane and Rodger appearance changed
So it is Diane, bro she keeps getting redesigned
Because the image looks almost the exact same as this one from Book 4
Alright then
She actually looks good in the retconned version ngl
I always find her look gross in the original book design
His diamond chin kinda intimidating
Yeah, I’m fine with her in New lore, as long as they keep that Motherly Ego of hers.
Still canon
Here's a higher quality version of the image of redesigned Roger
I don't know if we will ever know because the games have 0 dialogue
Yeah I see what you mean
Diane's design was changed in the bottom-center right image to be closer to her game design
I like it better, it fits that Mother look more, don’t forget what her personality was as well.
Gotta go 👋
cya!
Bye
yes the curse is still canon. as alex said, the books arent canon but they took elements from it
one of those being the family curse
yes since roger and adelle are canon
Add the guest there
And boom
Mayak is cool
With goose
at least it seems like it from the teasers we got for ep 7
they were animatic teasers
and sh1mpnut and I already fully explained what the Guest is
and partly explained the Cult
yes, i also think this is true because alex said the guest is gonna work in the AS in a new way if that makes sense
he said the guests dynamic is gonna be diff or smt along the lines of that
I hate it so much
I'd be nice if there was like 4-5 tapes in each house for lore
He was already perfect in the books
There's just one more thing relating to the Cult I have no idea about
Yup, In short, the new lore, is Roger and Adelle and Mayak plot the same, while the Cult plot is using the Guest for power.
and that is the THEYCROW video on the archives site you access by clicking a tape
Ted's house could be like him dealing with mya dieing and trying to keep Aaron under control
Analog horror
They Crow
What the heck does this video mean, if anything
Cult is ravens 🤯
I’d love for an Analog horror, but it’s M.J. And the Tapes with footage.
And cuz analog horror trend
Bro got that family friendly analog horror
I feel it's implying MJ recorded the Tapes
This is a joke
But other then that I have no clue really if there's anything more to it
Other then possibly being MJ's last recording trying to warn the owner of the Banner about the Cult
His old design was better
it was pretty much the same in old lore
(Gordon Cleave might still exist in New Lore)
he represented greed and punished those who didnt appreciate the people in their life
It was M.J. Like I said, M.J. Was looking for the truth and he found more evidence where he recorded it all in the Tapes, through his encounters and findings, but before he could show it he went missing, Quentin followed his footsteps.
You could still tell he was related to ted without him looking the same as him
nah it sucked
his chin looked weird
