Yeah
thats cuz Norman was a journalist during the 60s, when Ted was a child
he should be super old during the time of HN2
The Guest is evil because no one is nice to him
this is interesting
if you think about it
the lore of hello neighbor is pretty damn accurate and similar to the movie "the village"
an enclosed town...
rumors of bird like creatures or a cult at least that keeps ppl afraid to leave
Hmm thats kinda cool
i compare it to the movie summer of 84
to the point where i think they took inspiration when making the movie since its so similar
speaking of summer of 84 the whole movie is on YT somehow
really? wow
its good
I never watched it. i just searched summer of 84 and it showed up
Hey chat! I know people have already been asking this question a lot but i've been inactive in this server for some time so I wanted to ask, HNVR is canon (and so are the books) and HN2 is not?
Yes
if it comes to old lore yes
if it comes to the new lore then its (supposed to be) the opposite
Oh ok. Thanks for answering!
Yes, I was basically asking if i should've taken the old lore in account or the new one.
Most of the people i know disregard the As and hn2 as non canon
Also SN added badges which contain old lore stuff
And HE and hnd are old lore
The only game that doesnt fit into old lore is hn2
mhm
And new lore has shitty writing that retcons hn1
Just dosregard the AS as an AU theres nothing good in it
I consider the AS and HN2 as their own separate continuties. And I prefer the old lore enstablished in HN, HND, SN, HE and the books.
So do I
Exactly!
Yes?
What?
And the AS is in modern times...
The AS has smartphones
Idk why they did that
Its a useless change that only complocates things
Hn always had 90s tech
Because the games took place in the 90s
The moment i saw that in Episode 1 i was like "what the heck?". Making it in a modern setting doesn't even change much!
Also them making act 3 real just ruins everything act 3 meant
It's real now?
Act 3 was the manifestation of Nicky's trauma
Dammit.
And theres photos of it in the police station meaning its likely that its real
Seriously the world class writers are world class screw ups
So, is it like this?:
Books, Graphic Novels, HN, SN, HE, HNVR: Canon
HN2: Non-Canon
AS: AU
And lets not forget alex wants the guest to be heavilly tied to the AS
So thats another character ruined :D
Bassically
"Heavily tied"?
Alright
He wants the guest to be introduced in the AS
Even tho other games and books already introduced him
When he said that on twitter it made my blood boil
Me too. I love the Guest as a character, but this information is... Idk how to explain it.
Same hes my fave actually
A lot of people were pissed off and it caused a shit show in hng
It also led to the "Didn't we fire you for something?" Moment
one thing i noticed about the guest in HN2 is that theres barely anything about him showing, only in the beginning
What happened exactly (i'm sorry, i've been away for the past time)?
this happend like 2 months ago at this point
honestly hn2 being non canon upsets me. I made a suggestion about it. It has nearly 50 likes #1112445065823006830 message
I'm gonna look it up.
anyway if you wanna get lied to alex and be pissed off you can read this https://twitter.com/aNichiporchik/status/1651362608937680896
thats the infamous alex guest thread
I read it. I'm angry. Wasn't he in The Raven Brooks Disaster and Reset Day already?
oh alex dont consider those canon 🙃
he made this issue himself
I remember starting reading the "thread" and loosing interest, so not getting to the "Guest will be introduced in AS" part. Yes, I can see why people were angry.
Why?
I like the AS, but this is getting redicolous.
🙁
thats a lie
they probably didnt even try
he just got new writers who didnt care about hn at all
Yes i know. I just don't know how to answer
also cant forget this gem
What the heck?
this happend after the guest thread
Context?
I see...
btw
a fun fact about vido
he had his comments bassically banned from the TB youtube channel
alex probably hid his comments
lmao
I genuinely dont get what Alex thinks he is gaining here by doing all of this
nothing
from what I know he was unpaid mod for a couple of years but then quit
so he wasnt even fired lmao
anyway this is becoming less of hn lore and more of tb lore
either we move this to dms or something or we change the topic
Xd
Tinybuild lore 💀
In context, hes the definition of prematureburger's wife
But tbh
If Alex comes down to trash vido again, I will make a meme out of the words that came straight from his mouth
Anyways, hn
vido is the only alex I trust at this point
Fr
@shell gull im here, istg if u tell me what u always say
yeah yeah ik the guest used aaron to get to ted
We see in VR there is never a time they end up being the same, only the Guest attaching his mind, and The Guest was born at the GAAP, meanwhile Aaron was already 12-13 and somewhere else, so no they aren’t the same.
they must be, aaron wouldnt even be able to leave his cell without the guest in the basement
yet in the ending we see the guest leave the nest as if they are two different entities
so its confusing
What?, First off Aaron isn’t an entity he is a normal kid, Second The Guest went inside the underground so he could manipulate Aaron.
so how would aaron leave his cell in the basement, the vent is on the cieling with the guest only gets to bc the nest makes everything upside down
an EGS dev said guest Aaron is canon (its probably a joke)
It was.
im out peace
im gonna use that to be unfunny now
Again i would be really happy if they tie hn 2 to vr
No, that’s the normal underground, Aaron let him in and then took over his mind, and then broke him out of the cell, not that complex.
guest Aaron is technically canon then?

No, Guest Aaron isn’t real, while yes they connected minds at the end of VR, not the same.
seems like guest Aaron is canon guys!
they would need to change the context of the story
so a while?
Yeah
If they do they would also need to take in consideration if all the extra stuff, such as Archives, but they most likely will forget about them and so we will either need to find a way to tie them in or just write them off completely.
Mia 
anyway if they do rework the story I will have my faith in EGS restored
The Guy that hits u at the end of the 2 is the crow man
no?
the shadow doesnt match up at all
Welp its my guess
and the guest (please dont call him crow man) isnt even human
the guest seems to be some sort of demon in hn2
He is a major character in the lore
in other hn media is an entity made out of Teds and maybe Aaron`s emotions
ye no shit
The guy that hits you is obviously pre-alpha man back from the dead to recalaim his protagonist status from Quentin.
Whats cannon, the books, the animated series, or both?
Well only books and games are what I consider canon
But Animated Series, I would just ignore it and make it not canon as it tries to make it canon when it doesn't work well
Plus it's retconning most stuff that were in the book's lore
The Old lore is canon, as HNVR has brought it back along with HE and HND, Gus’s making Alex’s AS a small fever dream non canon.
is the new part of the basement in hnvr made by ted or his parents?
his parents would be dead...so Ted
oh ok
im asking cuz that part couldve been there but no one really talked about it
this guy looks soooo much like my math teacher
even the hair is literally the same
and the face shape
ask your math teacher was he a journalist that went missing

Soo
hosue
So
nehgbro hosue ees onmious
Very hello neighbr lore
Neighbor is in the forgis
He's Mr. Peterson is the killer
Then now he's some demon thing that involves with Ted and Aaron's emotions
Guest does a backflip in the new lore
Also world class writers? How about world crash writers
I think i prefer old lore guest though i like him being connected to Ted
He still can be connected to Ted
But we dont know because we know pretty much nothing about the new lore Guest
World crash*
So i think old guest lore made sense personally its weird that they would change it for some reason
Chat died
True
Yes we literally do, we know his origin for a LONG time.
I think the bozo meant the AS lore version of the Guest
Some people who just enjoys it
I mean that's just them ig
Yeah that’s what I meant
People who enjoy AS are either tiny toddlers who watch the trash HN videos, or just some crackhead.
Ah
Well just let them be them
We do not know yet
But probably like hn2
Or idk
Well that's on them
For not understanding the actual lore
Well that lore isn’t canon.
No
Yup
You see
Turn out it’s really just Alex wanting money
And the Old lore still continues, HNVR, HE and HND.
Thing is some fell to it
Such as SN and HN2
As they got retconned into AS lore
But
They can fix it
With enough player feedback maybe
That’s why we only refer to Old HN2 and Old SN
The old lore
Also
Old Lore still continues in SN once in a while
ACTUALLY, that’s the nest.
The kids are just ending up in the nest.
You know the place in GN2 that is all red and sinister that is the Guest’s lair.
Graphic Novel 2
That’s the Nest and is where the kids are ending up.
Nope
Also
@velvet fossil
Can we talk HNVR or?
In 2 days 🙂
Let's respect the majority vote 
Dm is fine 🙂
Well, actually...
SN is still Old Lore
It's just HNVR must've snuck in some retcons that made let Kid Class 7 and the Guest Class be allowed
Because the new Badges in SN are all non-AS Lore/"Old" Lore
The most likely retcons they did was 1. Make the Guest exist before Act 1 making it more likely the Rescue Squad would be aware of the Guest, and 2. Add a 7th Kid to the Rescue Squad who goes missing before HE
These are spottible in promo material and the very beginning of the game so it ain't spoilers
Making Guest exist before Act 1/having a bigger role in RB by the events of Act 1 can be inferred by the fact Nicky has Guest pinboard in his room
and 7th Kid retcon can be inferred by Blacked out Missing Posters that don't belong to the Rescue Squad, Aaron, Nicky, and Mya
(The Poster is a blacked out Aaron Poster but the fact it's different from the normal Aaron Poster and is right along-side the Aaron Posters imply it to belong to a different character)
Therefore HN2 is the only game following "New" Lore/AS Lore
even then HN2 is what I'll call Proto-AS Lore where it still has soe aspects that don't fit AS
all the kids including nicky are aware of the guest now
yep, that's the Retcon to Non-AS Lore that let Guest Class exist
(I just assume the Guest was only meant to exist after Act 1)
Oh sweet
A wall of text
Welcome to #lore-discussion where half the time we have a text wall
Do a depkis lore
because the AS doesnt make sense
Jk
It makes perfect sense
I have hopes since everything is set up so they can keep SN Non-AS Lore
They just have to make the 7th Kid Class not look like Nicky, it can be literally a exact copy of Act 3 Nicky for all I care but as long as he looks different he ain't Nicky and they kept accurate to Old Lore
just don't mess it up Holo
Well it would make sense they would know about The Guest as he’s wandering around town, and also Nicky’s notes.
Maybe
They will make it break into the basement to save Aaron
Yea
You guys are taking this lore thing very seriously tbh
I mean why are you putting names to people who enjoy something that you dont?
Some people dont care about the funny neighbor lore like it's their life
But no, everyone should care about the lore and should like the old lore, and those who dont are crackheads and kids, right?
average day in HNG
I dont know why ppl are like this man
in the long run, does it really matter?
does it matter in your life if some cartoon is good or bad?
look, I dont "support" the AS, but, insulting ppl who watch it is just...
too much
whats the point?
we all are going to die anyway
the dude dislikes the AS because it ruins the story of a game franchise he likes
its not that deep
you are going to die someday, I am going to die someday, the ppl who watch the AS also will die someday, Alex and his world class writers who ruined the franchise are also going to die someday
why are you talking about death?
by that logic theres no point in criticizing anything
why? we will die everything we do is meaningless by that logic
it probs wouldnt be if it was the only thing alex talked about
people are upset and alex messed up and is doubling down on it
its probs not gonna stop unless things get better
ppl are criticizing AS and HN2 as if they killed their entire family or stole eveyrthing from them and left them homeless
people were scammed and they have the right to be pissed lmao
they have
they have every right to criticize
but
it has to have a limit
everything has to have a limit
I guess the reason why it repeats is because the criticisism is being ignored and shit
its not even adressed at the minimum
someday, it will be
when I asked alex about this he just dipped
Alex cant be silent about this for long
insulting ppl who watch some cartoon is not the right way
it is. they at the very least could make it an AU that loosely ties into the games
that way I wouldnt be upset
ok
you can be upset about the AS
but, how is the AS ruining the quality of your life?
Im not insulting the viewers
they are just dumb kids enjoying a bad cartoon (lets admit we all did that at some point)
at one point we were all dumb and we enjoyed dumb and mediocre stuff
I really miss the old days
be specific?
2020 - 2022
oh that
I left when alpha 2 was getting teased because I was frustrated on how the game cant seem to find a consistent story
I kept in check with hn2 and by the time the beta released I realised im not gonna enjoy the full game
tbh I can only really blame alex and tb
I dont get what alexus was thinking when he lied about hn2
he gained nothing from that
tbh the only reason why the community is still in a mess is because the lack of a response
theres no sorry or anything
just silence most of the time
an EGS developer joined HNG and chatted here and that was a nice change of things
but stuff like alex saying "didn`t we fire you for something" dont paint a good image of tb
sadly nothing is going to change unless alex does something to make the community not be upset ig
anyway seems like you moved on from this discussion
guess I will too then
yes
I need to study
final year
Im doing math rn
actually finished
thats why I came back
Probably the new lore with animated series and make hn1 make sense with the remake
Because tb
Nah I don’t think so
Every game is old lore besides hn 2
And even hn 2 doesn’t fully fit AS
They will have to change every game then
Maybe they'll change the lore to old and make animated series it's own special lore for itself
Yes
Secret neighbor got more old lore added
In its newest update
So like maybe they realized old lore worked better
For the games
Yeah
Aaron needs to be removed in hn 2
For it to fit
Together
The hn 2 beta is actually old lore
Beta was peak hn2, besides hg
And they said to be continued in the end
Meaning the story was likely supposed to start like this beta
With the fake Aaron
The beta was expected to leave on a cliffhanger, not the full game
But then to fit AS I guess they changed the story
Which is a shame couse I really loved the betas plot
Want me to explain old lore guest
If you don’t already know
That is
Would you rather fix or remake multiple games to fit new lore, or remake or fix one game for old lore
Well 1 game
So I think that’s the direction they are going in
I loved old lore guest
I did too
In old lore it’s implied either he’s something born from teds emotion
Or that he’s something that always existed feeding of off emotions and torment basically he’s the manipulator
In new lore it’s implied the cult summoned him in ritual in the museum
Nicky's emotions are portrayed by a shadow man, and mr.peterson's emotions is portrayed by the guest.
Yeah
I don’t really agree it didn’t make sense
I loved it
I just love what they we’re going for with the beta
Return to the neighborhood in this stealth horror sequel coming to PS4 and PS5.
The guest must be mr.peterson's feeling of grief, fear, and depression
Yes
Because his family died
Yes
On the door it likely symbolizes
That Eventually the guest took over he’s body
And trapped him inside himself basically
So he can’t do anything
Besides watching what the guest is doing
They made a update for hello neighbor alpha 1.5, check it out.

How's your weather is a reference to the mayak
Yes
It is
Originally I guess there was gonna be a storm
Caused by the mayak
Or something like that
The guest looks really cool
In the background in my opinion
I would love if quentin would have to stop the guest from activating the mayak
The mayak was such a cool concept
A huge storm that would damage raven brooks
A lot
Yeah
Yeah
The beta ending with the guest

I liked that ending better than being hit on the head and dragged away
The music is really eerie
It is
Also the beta intro is really good with establishing the story
Yeah
Thankfully in my opinion
Same
AS is fine, but i don't like the new lore it enstablishes
And besides, i think no one else likes the AS besides a few (like me, but mostly because it's finally "Animated Hello Neighbor")
Exactly!
I was happy when HNVR brought back the old lore
And the fact that it was a far better sequel than HN2
Let's hope so.
That could be why.
Yeah.
Yup. Honestly, what's canon and what's not is pretty confusing now...
From what i've understood, AS isn't canon and is supposed to tie to HN2, while every other game is canon and so are the books and graphic novels.
I think that HE could be canon, but who knows.
Yes. Also, this isn't related to the "canonicity" stuff, but i wanted to discuss about a line in the second graphic novel.
At one point, Ted says something along the lines of "I wanted to change the future, but you can't do that can you?"
And I was always confused about what he meant.
Tried to create time travel technology
But failed
Hello Neighbor has time travel now?
Hello engineer
That's honestly cool.
Yes I know, i was talking about that Time Travel is an element in the lore.
I think that this makes it more likely that HE is canon.
But that’s just speculation
I recall that during the game he was working on something in the scrapyard/amusement park
Yes that.
So during HE, Ted was working on the time travel tech.
But then the Rescue Squad arrive.
But he failed.
Yes
I kinda like that time travel now is an element in the lore of HN, even if it isn't too important
Yes it's a metaphor
He was like taking control of his emotions.
Because Ted was about to do an heel-face turn. That could cause the Guest to become weak and die, so he manifested and attacked Ted to take control of his emotions again
I dunno
But it's likely that he didn't
After all, the Guest appears at the end of the graphic novel. Though that might not be Ted at all.
But the Guest's physical form
Given HNVR
Though the fact that the Guest is still around does seem to imply that Ted might be... "fine"?
Yes, cuz i think that originally HN2 was tied to the books. Now it's likely non-canon.
It might be that he crawled out of the place before it blew up.
His possible survival is definetly tied to the Guest
Yes, that is VERY plausible.
That the Guest escaped in Ted's body cuz without him he would die/weaken. I think it's the most plausible way, lore-wise, of how Ted could've survived. Especially with how the Guest appears in the graphic novel's ending.
honestly im kind of hopeful for the lore
sn added book lore stuff
hnvr is book lore
He is book lore
hnd is literally a book 1 recap
That makes me very happy!
the only game that has issues with the books in hn2
and even that has the fart machine
they just need to fix hn2 to have it be canon
Iagree.
this has 52 likes so Im hopeful that EGS will listen. #1112445065823006830 message
posts rarely get that many likes
Whoops
which is similar to hnvr and the nightmare doors
Yes
Well The Guest can go there whenever, but it’s usually through weird gates, these gates could be completely ordinary things like doors or closets or little holes on walls, we saw Regina found one and went through it, the kids did the same by finding these different gates in HNVR.
The best way to explain the Nest is imagine it’s like the upside down.
So
Like does the guest originate
There
No
He’s a manifestation
But
Each manifestation has there own abilities based on what type
And The Guest has his own pocket dimension

But they need to fix hn 2 man
It can’t stay not canon
From what it seems like, Nikita’s idea was based on P.T.S.D. And taking these things in peoples heads, but if they were actually there, and they weren’t just seeing things.
Yeah
Well Alex wanted some money
I wouldn’t blame him, with TinyBuild doing bad right now, it makes sense to have a last resort.
There’s a high chance they won’t
Unless they get pushed
You have SN, HE, HNVR and HND all continuing it.
That’s why only refer Old Lore to Canon Lore.
Yeah
It seems like the main thing
This looked really interesting with the storm and everything
That means Alex’s AS is just a fever dream
What?, the poster art.
nah man
announcement was more peak
HE is entirely canon to old lore
it is canon
Yes I know it is now.
the game which you called as " pointless spinoff then an actual lore-related game"
Ok so here’s every canon old lore hn games
1 hn 1
2 hn hide and seek
3 he
4 hnd
5 hnvr
6 sn
Hello engineer is canon since it shows mr Peterson trying to use time travel technology
Basically every game except HN2 follows the CANON old lore
And every other installment in the franchise (books, graphic novels and guide books) besides the AS follow it too.
Right?
Secret neighbor recently got lore badges in the newest update and one is about man in the hat
And manifestations
The Guest is a manifestation right?
So far, old lore seems to be the "actual" lore so yeah...
How was it?
Ah right!
And OLD HN2
It can come back with a slight chance
I have a question
So basically
There was an animation
About the secret neighbor characters
And how mr Peterson (the neighbor) kidnaps the boy that we see in hn 1, 2 and 3
Correct me if im wrong but
Doesnt that make sn the first one in the canon
Because after you win in sn (entering the basement) you dont know what happens next, but the most common thing to do is save the kid
And we see that same kid in hn 1, 2 and in 3 as a grown up
sn happens between HN1 act 1 and HNVR
sn is is planning phase, kids are planning the salvation of Nicky, the HN1 kid.
then goes HNVR, wich happens right after SN, and HNVR is not a planning phase anymore, its real
after HNVR goes HN1 act 2
you know something went terribly wrong, when the base material and its sequel are the only noncanon things
guys pls give me a guest wallpaper for steam avatar
No
why
Because no
Um actually HE happens after SN.
Ths kids chicken out of saving nicky then get karma for abandoning him in HE
my bad
This time the Terror is real moment
Also iirc we should now be allowed to talk HNVR spoilers in this chat starting today
Thanks
No, read books to understand, SN is the imagination of Rescue Squad of them facing the fears they have to break in and save Nicky.
Oh yeah
Finally
@velvet fossil
Can we talk spoilers now?
Hi
She Said yes eaelier today
But that we should
Maybe hide big spoilers
Yay
Well as a plot point
Not really in my opinion
Yup
So can you explain something to me
Why is the guest kidnaping people
Like what does he gain
Well he does it for his own benefit, and also to take things from people that don’t deserve it, we barely got the plot of the Sequel Books, so we don’t really know much.
they dont chicken out
they just dont care about him
they just fantasized saving him for fun
they literally imagined a maze house with a rocket in it wihen the real house is right behind them
They care it’s just they have fears as we see the Manifestation of Fear and Trauma literally in there heads in SN.
very good friends
huh why are at his house tho
Was the kid we were gonna save but he hugged the neighbor in hn2, was he the neighbors son?
yes
did you not play hn hide and seek?
or read the books or anything
the son`s name is Aaron
the way he is depicted in hn2 is really out of character
Yes and Current HN2 isn’t canon.
Man I wished AS we were given dates for their release
ehh
those would have been useless
episode 3 was supposed to be out in spring
Yeah
But then they said the summer
Now it's the end of June
Like please just give us a date of the month instead of us assuming
I don't think we'll get all 18 episodes by the end of 2023
So... no delay announcement...
I hope we dont get any more episodes
I really want the AS to just vanish
Get ready because episode 3 might be coming sooner than later
That’s a bad thing
Yep
Damn do I want it to be cancelled
Episode 3 was supposed to come out a while ago so I kinda think as died
Lol that be funny but then at the same time why would they just have a teaser 3 weeks ago
Alright, any ideas for the Nest, we know that it can take many forms, and based on what we’ve seen, it’s best to say that things like the HN2 demo could be part of the Nest.
I'm just wondering
That if the nest can take on a semi-realistic form in the HN2 Demo...
Is it possible that the AS or HN2 FG is inside the Nest without us knowing it?
sorry 😭
ok BUT when will hello neighbour 2 updates come
The cliffhanger at the end made me cry
When they decide to, the cliffhanger probably ain't being removed anytime soon
Because they're probably going to use that Cliffhanger to incite people to watch the Cartoon
That’s just stupid
tinyBuild was stupid for even making the cartoon
And I hate the fact the game was so short
Agreed
I guess those Roblox kids watch them
Lead Game Designer didn't want open world
Bro but they probably spent like a couple years on making the game and it took me like an hour to finish it or less
Actually
They spent 3 years on the game, then in ~December 2021 they started to remake the entire game from scratch
and the build they released as the Full Game is only ~5-6 Months into remaking it
We know this due to a leak from the Steam Demo having files from one of the DLCs in a more finished state then the final product dated August
Most notable difference between Leaked build and final is there's a entire room in the Leaked build that's not used in the final
and don't get me started on the Switch Version being outdated
Anyways back to the topic (this is lore discussion after all) could this actually be possible or am I just wishfully thinking
ew
They’ve never revealed it in the comic books?
But the Wikipedia has pictures of a robot neighbor under the mask and a woman under it
Like that
Guest is not someone with a costume
He's an entity
The guest possesed him
The guest possessed a robot neighbor?
1- Thats not a "robot" neighbor, its just Neighbor coming out of water
2- Thats Guest transforming into someone else, its not Guest's real face
Oh wow okay
And Guest posseses the Neighbor, yea
When was guests first appearance? Does it have a backstory?
Yes but we dont know
We dont know his backstory yet
HNVR spoilers coming up so if you haven’t played it you can just not read my message
Or I can hide it
Okay
Have you guys played it?
No but watched it
I watched it too
So you know the ending and stuff
Yea
Yes
Okay so it’s clear that guest wants to help aaron right?
No
He does not posseses him
Ohhh
Well I played the game and I thought the guest was trying to help aaron from the neighbor
Damn he’s even cooler now
But he was seen chasing the neighbor, why was the neighbor scared of guest
?
I mean he kinda did torment him with the simming posters flying around him
Being chased by a giant crow entity
Guest on it's way to try to take over Peterson's Body which would lock him in eternal torment:
That was probably metaphorical tbh
I dont think it actually happened
Well the guest is a really cool character
Also its implied he grabbed aaron in the ending
I like him even more now
||Aaron is likely dead||
Is there coming an act 2 to hnvr
Peterson going crazy after that
No, i dont think there will be an act 2
Is the atleast coming a hn 3
that's the point, to drive Peterson crazy to make easy to possess
Too early to think about an HN3
The only known upcoming game is Hello Neighbor: Diaries, a mobile spinoff retelling the story of the books in-between gameplay segements
But then what, does he get anything out of it?
Does the guest want to scare Nicky now?
He feeds of of it
Agony
Likely
That is just a theory though
Where does it imply that
The Guest is kinda a metaphor that also literally exists under that interpetation
Guest only appears in Reset Day and i dont remember any implications of feeding off of agony
A friend Said it to me who reads the books
#guest-discussion
I read the books too
Bro has unreleased books
Guest kidnaps more people and keeps the town in reset for some reason in the reset day
I dont really remember an implication of agony thing tbh
The lore becomes even more complicated once you find out theres 2 active canons at once lol
Thats a whole another subject though
No not really im just saying its complicated
To understand
Technically 3 because HN2 seems to be in the middle between two canons, It's not the normal lore, but it's also not AS Lore
True
Since when HN2 is stuck between universes lmao
I'm saying HN2 is a mix of the normal lore and the AS Lore to where it's not quite both since references to Books can be found in the game but it clearly ain't Main Lore since ||Aaron is alive and about||
Hello Neighbor: Into the Neighborverse is gonna solve every problem we have with the canons
New movie
Maybe aaron being in it is just temporary like maybe its just a placeholder storyline
Or maybe Aaron isnt dead
Becouse its unfinished
say im gonna re-write the HN lore to tie in with HN2 and no im not going to use the new lore since its shit so do yall like the idea?
Sounds cool
Well he clearly isnt with the neighbor
Though
Likely with the guest
Or in the void
Void? You mean the Nest?
Yes Many Calls it the void
"Main Lore references" include the safe codes of 1984 and 8191 (which comes from the date 08/01/1991), some of the things Nicky and Aaron made in Book 1 can be found in his Treehouse, and those pictures they added to the Peterson Household
Guest World moment
Where did the "void" name come from?
Many called it that
Becouse its a alternate dimension
the filename would be Guest World
Its just a nickname
(Yes, the Nest is That Guest World)
also HE isnt gonna be canon it just doesnt make any since
The Nightmares in HNVR, right?
yeah
im my lore
Is we 100 procent sure about Aaron fate?
Either dead or trapped in the Guest World
I dont think Nest is a real place tbh
In the GN2 it's implied to just Guest messing with the character's dream to talk to her iirc
It's only really important because Book 4 is in 1991 iirc and it's the birthdate of a dog, implying it to be close to 1996 and not modern day like AS, making it technically a main lore reference
And in HNVR it doesnt make sense if the Nightmares are actually real in a nest dimension or something
Actually, it would make sense if Guest is the cause of Rescue Squad seeing the nightmares
I’m gonna replay hnvr now
Bro it’s 2 episodes
Hi
Bye
You killed the conversation, so i dont see a reason to continue
Bye
Quick restart a conversation
So what lore is hn 2 mostly
none
Hopefully a Mr. Apple doesn't return and wine about it
0
Like theres references 2 both smh
dont be rude
true
The storyline seems mostly connected to new lore but the secrets seems more to old
Nope
Yeah there's a Nicky house
Can't wait for Hello Neighbor: Into the Neighborverse either!
And dates
Which idk what that means
Like 1996
Okay and it doesn't fit still
HN2 doesn't fit in AS lore nor Main Lore
I will send you to the guest word
It's a mix of the two lores, but it's hard to tell sometimes what parts are Main Lore and what parts are AS Lore
Its like they at first made it to be old lore then halfway in they decided to add AS lore
But forgot to delete old lore
Stuff
Dude it's not even about those 2 lol
Probably because HN2FG Version 0 is a build only ~6 Months after the creation of AS Lore
It's just a own thing cuz the devs don't know what the actual lore is
Well they need to decide on what lore they are gonna use
(Judging by Back to School Leak Build's Build Date which is slightly more recent then HN2FG BtS due to having a extra room in the leak)
My personal opinion is that HN2 is a games only timeline without HNVR
For the most part it's not anymore
But on release yes it was outdated
Also in the demo alex stated there was a bunch of content that wasnt used
So it's timeline is only made from HN1, HNHS, SN, HE, itself, and HND
Summer
Secret neighbor got lore?
Yep, quite a bit actually
And that's not a joke btw
In AS lore i think its real
So the kids were just playing with eachother
Yep
Trophies and Badges can give canon information
But also ig making a plan to break into Mr. Peterson's house
Since it's before HNVR
Actually happened
Tbh that’s pretty disappointing
Yeah
Like there's a man watching the Peterson Household
(Image of the man)
Yo it’s the guy who jumped Quentin
and those episodes are MID
So its clear old lore isnt scrapped
Yep
It's still retconned anyway
He's apparently a Journalist just like Quentin is
Yes but the retcons were minor
Has old lore
But why he jump him tho
In it

Making the Rescue Sqaud (SN Kids) + Nicky aware of the Guest and adding a 7th kid to SN that goes missing shortly after the game's timeline placement
Bro I have no idea about hn lore I just played hnvr and hn 1 all the way to act 3
🕵️♂️
Those are just good retconns
In my opinion
So?
We genuinely don't know why MitH jumped Quentin in HGA1
It was funny tho
AS is just 4 kids going into a act 3 house just to save their "friend"
It's not canon anyways so it's not like it really matters to the lore
But when he did it to Beatrix it just ain’t even funny bro
Or whatever her name is
Woman hg character
Quentin is the goofy, Beatrix ain't
You said it right
or that kid just be a jerk and abandon nicky
I got memory now yay
(and yes her name is in-fact Beatrix
)
hn2 fg:
Anyways hnvr story is awesome problaby best story in a hn game next to hide and seek
Yo they should make mr Peterson a part of the rescue squad 🔥🔥
