My guess is possibly that this was where the Car Crash that killed Diane was originally intended to happen at
Yeah
Mhm
Gotta go
and that's ONLY there in Act 1
Alright then, cya later!
If you go where it was in Act 3 it (along with the Gas Station nearby) are completely missing from the map
and in Act 2 it also seems to be missing but it's hard to tell when you can hardly see over the Fences
HN1 is probably the game that paid the most attention to the little details
Like Act 3 is ~20 years after Act 1, right?
and you can see Ted in the City in Act 3
Well you know what the least amount of jail time you would get for kidnapping is? 20 Years.
or that they bothered to actually write out a entire eviction notice on the eviciton notice seen for like 15 seconds in Act 3
and they turned it into Wayron Croobian
Or the Giant Neighbor making distorted Aaron Screams could be seen as a hint that Ted staged the Act 1 intro
Lol
Oh Hello there, welcome to Hello Neighbor Games!
it is bc the books and HG were made to be directly accurate
i know the hn2 and AS map is diff bc its another timeline
hi
but for some reason TB just likes to make things difficult, so even canon stuff has map changes
pretty much the only stuff from old lore that keep the RB layout and nickys house the same is the books, hn1 and maybe SN
Ehhh
That comment is inaccurate when you take in consideration the fact that the Book G.A.A.P. And HG G.A.A.P. Are way different, so yeah Gameplay is just not canon, and the HN2 Map isn’t different because of timelines it’s just different because they couldn’t get a good map, and also because there’s no way to make something one to one accurate anyways so they just have been making their own versions.
for old lore it wouldve been cool if they did make the map one to one just in different art styles
everything wouldve felt way more connected
It is real
It's hard to see the Act 1 Incident in-game but you can see that it's there
(Especially if you use mods to go out of bounds)
I myself didn't trust that it was there when I first heard about it so I fact-checked it on my Xbox and although hard to make-out if you go right against the invisible wall behind the Starting Spawn (should've specified that and not just the normal Act 1 Spawn, it's where you start the game not where you end up if Ted catches you) you can see it is in-fact there
Also if you're wondering how I got the image the Incident is on the Russian Wiki's page for Raven Brooks so I'm using that image as I can't find any other images of the incident
and I know it's the Russian wiki it may not always be accurate but that's why I fact-checked it
Guys i might have found something that could be involved with the lore in hello neighbor 2. By Quentins bed on the right side in a box there is a revese button for the tape recorder
We know
oh ok
Thx
Mhm
I never agree with this
why gameplay cant be canon
in my book, all the gameplay elements are canon
everything is canon
are you sure hes a demon?
I think Guest is not a demon...
I think he might be a Guest
Book 3 would like to speak to you
Guest is dead
Demon only exist now
demon will exist once the guest dies
The old tapes and the fact he seems tied to the cult
tied to the cult doesnt mean hes a demon
Its pretty likely seeing how the old tapes had the cult literally summon him
are we sure it was the cult summoning him
What else can it be?
Its just chanting and Guest getting angry noises
exactly
Everyone loves to theorize and takes those theories as facts
true
@silver vine @wicked heath, I don’t know why this discussion got brought back up since this was finished a while ago, but if Gameplay Is Canon, that means every version of Nicky’s house is somehow canon together, every HN game map layout is canon, every G.A.A.P. Version is canon, HN2 and HN1s map are canon, Act 2 would then be Canon entirely, same with Act 3, any layout in any HN game is now simultaneously canon, and ETC, I don’t get why this was even brought back up, Story and Lore Exploration (something of actual Lore Value that works) of sorts are Canon, but Gameplay isn’t, that was the only good way to fix issues and still have story and Lore make sense, so Book 3 still works fine, recently random thing just start randomly getting questioned again and it’s getting really annoying now.
I don’t get why everyone is treating stuff automatically true and blaming the creators of the theories as responsible, literally not once have I stated that The Guest was in fact a demon, I’ve only referred and was the only good way to explain The Guest in AS, and fix plot holes in the game, same with E.O.M. It’s not a fact but we are 90% sure is, now currently people are starting to twist stuff that was already suspected right, and I still stand by the original belief as of now, I could be entirely wrong, but I still believe The Guest has some sort of Cult value.
yeah yeah
you laugh
you cant change my mind
eveyrthing is canon
ahahhaahah
now I laugh
Literally anyone I’ve talked to in the past month, that are some of the few who I enjoy doing lore, have agreed, anyways If Gameplay is Canon, explain literally ANYTHING in the games.
Please I’m waiting
What is happening
These two are trying to explain how Gameplay is entirely Canon.
book 3 is a good example
Like I said
Mostly it is
Story
Imo
Sure
Except for a few
But gameplay
Instances
No
You can’t explain
How the Peterson layout
Isn’t always the same
You can’t explain
Nicky’s house
Why wouldnt gameplay be canon smh
it isnt the same even in the books
Constant changes
Exactly
Nicky keeps telling that the house layout always changes
Gameplay isn’t canon
Ok sure
Oh
Wait
Thing is
AS
In HN2
Sucks
can you type in one sentence
single line spamming.
And we know for a fact that Act 3 is real
You will get the bot riled up
It is in Canon 2
Likely yes
Not in canon 1
But not entirely sure
And we dont even know if its even real
gaaahhhh theres only one canon.....
You have to stop jumping to conclusions
Wth are you even talking about Rn
according to me (pls dont kill me sh1mp)
At the same time, someone has to explain to me how it reverts back to normal house in HN2
It's AS isn't it
according to me, everything is canon
Same
games, books, AS, everything
Brrrrrrr
pls dont kill me sh1mp
I also think that the gameplay, everything we do in the game is entirely canon to me
pls dont kill me sh1mp
I Think gn 2 is still canon and some books have Many canon
Elements
To the new lore
just allow me to enjoy HN as I do
I’m not disagreeing with anything, but you can’t say Gameplay is entirely canon, cuz whoever told you that is on something, explain the constant town changes, explain layout changes, explain changes if literally anything in the games, Gameplay isn’t Canon, we’ve known that for a while, wth are we even talking about this again, goddamn whys everyone gotta twist shit so much.
How do you fit things that conflict each other then?
Im just curious
Havent seen him for a while
Oh man
And AS
Canon just isnt a thing anymore it seems
Case solved
When it comes to hn
what?
Out of anyone
That not everything is canon such as gameplay.
Hello Neighbor Case is solved
Or it Will get solved by some miracle who knows
No way
Guys hear me out. Nothing. Is. Canon.
In this game
You play as a detective
Anyways, out of any character in the franchise, who would be the best basketball player 🤔.
Wrong i am
Trying to solve the Hello Case
(Trying to change subject here)
Enzo
Book Enzo
There IS no canon lore. Because there IS no lore.
Enzo is Enzo
Ok.
This is me literally any time someone try’s to argue in Lore discussion
As much as I like this character to a point of impersonating him, as far as I remember, Enzo is actually an absolute wannabe
Yeah.
I dont know why you guys treat characters as different characters in different media
He wanted to be cool or smth like that.
Becouse AS SUCKS!!!
Well which version of the character, like if we’re talking Batman which Batman, just in general or?
Enzo in the books: Touch my sister, and you're adopted.
Enzo in the games: jumps out of a window for no reason at all
to the gameplay thing, ever since the beginning, I've always felt that the gameplay is canon, everything we do in the game is canon to us, but it doesnt matter in the broader story, the fact that the last chapter of book 3 is literally just a walkthrough guide of act 1 just solidified my belief that the gameplay is canon, afterall, why would it not be canon, its a major part of the game, gameplay is what makes the game enjoyable, why should it not be canon? I know that some things dont make sense, but, does it have to? this is just a video game, gameplay doesnt have to make sense, you cant say gameplay isnt canon cuz it doesnt make sense
Book Enzo? AS Enzo?
Both is Enzo, the Nerd that tries to be a journalist and also has a crush on Trinity
Time to to spend every waking moments being angry at AS
Enzo will always be Enzo
He seems to act the same
Guest will always be guest as well
I completely agree with this statement
Not 2 seperate characters
canon event
I give up trying to solve the lore
To me personally
I think the games are only canon
And not the books or AS
Well cant blame you
The cult
to me just everything HN related is canon
Ok sure yes, but times change just like how AS came, and now as new Lore comes and the story grew, and AUs grow, certain things can no longer line up, such as constant Layout changes that don’t fit descriptions, such as the G.A.A.P. Or the town itself, so much changes and really you can only trust the Major Lore gameplay, via that’s why a while back some people such as myself agreed that Lore isn’t Canon.
To me it doesnt matter whats canon or whats not
You can believe whatever you want
I agree only via AUs
according to me, everything is its own unique story
some are tied to somethings, while some are not
Yes but at the least if you wanna bring it in as a variable in any AU, you have to have proof, just like the E.O.M.
EOM?
Manifestation of
Whole other thing
Emotion
Eon
Oh, Guest being born from emotion theory thingy
Btw so do you think guest will have some sort of origin
the thing is, does the layout have to remain constant?
And also The Thing
Or will he just be not explained
this is a video game franchise
if every game has the same layout, how will it be interesting
Its like the house is alive
Ofc not but you still need Variables to make sense with any of the story pieces, most of the all the time it never does.
That’s the problem
how will it be interesting to explore the same house over and over again in every game
thats why they keep changing the layout
Exactly, so if they can’t have it constant it can’t be canon.
Insane as you would have to follow the source material
yes!
Well to the source material it is.
I wouldnt really say that
:0
Anyways I gotta go
cuz in both AS and books, Nicky mentions that the layout of the house keeps changing
See ya guys
ok bye
it do be mixed
Also derp apple is back
I wanted to be there :(
at this point I started thinking that too
the only issue is hn2 just not even trying to work with the other games
the peterson layout has changed throughout the books
Yeah at this point Layout changes makes the Books non-canon, and it's almost never addressed how the house changes layout
Like if you care so much about layout discard the Layouts from the books aswell
I just use HN2 as the canon house layout as it has the least contradictions to other pieces of media
Ted, Aaron, and Mya still have their own rooms
The Tool area still exists
The Kitchen has a door that leads outside
The first floor is mostly consistent with HN1's layout
Basement I just use this as the "canon" layout as we don't know how much of the HNVR Basement is real but I'm using how much is seen before Guest World Skybox can be seen as a reference point (I colorcoded each of the rooms but I didn't have enough space to copy the Color-codes into the actual finalized combined map
but yeah at this point Layout changes make books non-canon
not to mention the AS Lore through the power of cartoon logic contradicts it's own exteriors
Does that make AS non-canon to itself?
True, but then you have literally any other layout, such as the town, anyways we settled this already and it’s just split on opinions.
True Cartoon logic gets crazy sometimes.
Ted's House has 3 Floors
Trinity's Room has a impossible window
Stuff like that
GAAP's existence on a map in a HN Game relies on how big the map is and where the map is in the town
In HN1 the GAAP is barely cut off
in SN the GAAP is there because it's imagination so they could shift it however they wanted to
in HG we're at the GAAP
in HNHS you can't even look in the direction the GAAP should be in based off the HN1/HG Map to see if it's there
in HND I don't remember if we see the GAAP but I don't think we do due to how far it is compared to other locales we can see
in HN2 the map is small enough it gets cut off even tho we know where it should be in the map
but does that mean these maps are/aren't canon? depends
I personally view a mix of what HN1 and the Books tell us as canon
With adding new locales based off where they're likely are in the HN1 map like Otto's House is near the lake or the Mayor's House is by that Park Bench in the HN1 Map behind the player's house
Yeah but when you take in the fact that nothing is consistent, for example HE which is apart of Old Lore AU have different versions of the G.A.A.P. And if this is just constant retcon, I doubt, sure yeah certain layouts are Canon as they are reused, but not always, so I’d say sure things can be considered Canon, but if that retcons the source material it works but if it’s just constant retcon change, I doubt, they have to keep it non consistent to allow for the game to be different, via meaning certain parts would just have to be retconned over and over again, but there are things that can’t be considered Canon, for Example RB itself in each game.
Yeah I personally think the only reason the HN2 Map isn't accurate to the HN1 Map is because they cut the open world for instance
I mean they even bothered to make the HN2 Beta Map consistent
That’s why I said Gameplay Isn’t Canon, but Lore meaningful things and Story is.
Yeah
and the HG Map
HGP Map is accurate to the Books GAAP Layout
Mhm
Well
Ig kinda
There are parts that are random.
Where do all the new rides exist on the GAAP's Map? Same direction they do in the Game just not in the exact position as in-game
(in HG Alpha 1's Case I use the Ferris Wheel as a reference to where they should be)
Yeah IG that’s true, anyways I just came in here real quick to clear this up, I’m gonna head out cya 👋.
Enough is consistent it's clear they tried to stick to the official GAAP map
Like you can pin-point where something should be and you'll find something similar there in most cases (or just find a Carnival Tent)
and pretty much every time the GAAP Appears outside the Books they put a Guest Statue
in the (also accurately layed out) SN Map 5 it's on top of where Glider Falls should be
in HGA1 it's at the top of the Mountain by Mayak
in HE it's at the park's entrance
Shows how early they had the retcon of the G.A.M.
I was re reading reset day and I got to the part with Maritsa, Enzo is missing but also wanted by the police for letting someone into town during testing, could that be Nicky? we have no idea how long the time loop has been going on for, and reset day does take place after act 3
does anyone know the layout of RB from book 1?
they don't really give a lay out
they give a very dumb one in the guide book, but that's it
any layout for ANY of the books?
To my knowledge no, although I've spent a lot more time listening to the audio books than actually reading the paper backs. so I'm fully unaware of a lot of the visual aids.
dang
interesting
Well we know the least, and yeah it could be Nicky.
Well, it’s been a while but, Nicky and Teds house are on a long street, with turns at the end that lead to paths pass the train tracks into the deep woods, that’s all IK.
I read the first part of this message, and thought you were going to say "Nicky and Teds house are across the street from each other"
Lol
Hello Neighbor lore doesn't make sense
it does its just that theres multiple lores
Like we have 3 games and the story in these games is the same and it is in the same time in the same place but just changed a little bit
HN1, HN2 beta, HNVR, HN Hide and Seek, HN Books are all connected
Bro HN1 HN2 HNVR the story in this games is the same it takes place in the same place and in the same time
not it doesnt take place at the same time
HN1 Act 1 is the direct prequel to the VR game and HN2 is its direct sequel
Also, we actually have 7 games
Plus 9 early builds available
Another thing I wanted to clear up is, HNVR is AS or HN2 is Old Lore, No, let’s start off with the bases, if HN2 is Old Lore or either HNVR is AS, that would create plot holes everywhere, especially with character like The Guest assuming E.O.M. (Entity Of Manifestation) Is right when it comes to the character (Most Likely is), that’s right off the start for HN2 leading up to Chapter 2, now like stated before HN2 has some evidence on both side pointing the game being either Lores (Mostly because they are tenants or placeholders from Old HN2, which is Pre-AS Takeover), so let’s look at the lead up to the game A.K.A. VR, If HNVR is AS and Ted dragged Aaron, that would create more plot holes, first off, Ted was manipulated and wouldn’t have been there so that would’ve created a massive Plot Hole in between those segments, Second how would Ted drag Aaron into The Nest, let’s say they were already in The Nest, it still wouldn’t work, because how did they get out then? So that would be another Plot Hole In between the Segments of that end scene and the beginning of HN2, and also along with the things Alex spoiled such as Nicky instead saving Aaron and ETC, HNVR is definitely Old Lore, and HN2 is AS, there would also be Mini Plot Hole problems missing such as Ted being Sleep Deprived or the Hurricane (Seen in SN) which could possibly happened in the game with the Background House parkour being renovations along with “The Guest is Coming Teaser” but even then that’s just a single Plot Hole being fixed out of the many, anyways I hope soon people can stop doing the “Changing/Not believing the obvious” (Or how I like to say it: “Starting at Rick and Calking it something else”), when it comes to the Lore of both AS AU and Old Lore AU, also it’s pretty much impossible to fix any Plot Holes if either one of the games were the opposite AU, people can believe what they can, but you can’t argue something that’s obvious or fact.
I just dont try to piece anything together anymore lol
Yeah it could be problematic.
I just want a cohesive narrative
He can be.
so basically: theres lore
Impossible.
the end
Yes
So basically theres this guy named mr Peterson
Who was a theme park designer and he turned insane
After both his daugther and son died
And theres this goose
Ah yes I love Mr. Peterson The Game.
Which Lore?
Cuz if we talkin Old Lore…
/j
||Or am I?||
Ah the Full Timeline, already done that.
Didn’t work well
Made a doc
Tried it
Failed
Technically 6+
Technically
Old Lore AU, AS AU, AS, Books, Games, HN1 Betas, HN1 Alphas, HN2 Alphas (Without Symbolism) HN2 Beta, HN2, HN2 A2, % Old HN2 (HN2 A2+HN2 Beta), Novels and HG.
Good
You don’t.
Me when the lore becomes cohesive again
😟
HNVR brought back temporary peace
Hnvr brought peak
HE will kill it :troII:
bro thinks he is Alex
According to mouseflash the HE expert
HE is old lore
Hey does anybody know the HN timeline??? Bc I’m not sure where the heck SN takes place and other stuff.
Ik
Ahahahha, the Lore is very very mixed up, but SN would be in Old Lore AU, so right after Act 1.
What does that even mean though? AU?
SN is an imaginary plan to save Nicky so it's somewhere between HN1 Act 1 and Act 2
Alt universe
There are 2 universes??? How does that even make sense???
It doesnt, dont think too much about it
So the hello neighbor franchise is 2 separate stories
Yeah I don’t plan on thinking about it.
Cool
Anyway I’m just glad they brought back the glow items in Secret Neighbor, since those things look cool
Imagine if they made blue versions too? Or even Red ones?
Also when are they going to add skins to butcher, ghost and guest?
And when is welcome to Raven brooks finally going to be released???
We know they are working on it but we dont know when it will release
Oh ok
My theory is maybe Halloween. Because SN is getting a new kid at that time and it might be introduced in the series. But like I said, this is a theory I thought of and maybe inncorrect
SN gets a NEW KID???
Yea
This Halloween update
We dont know who or why though
I guess it got to be a surpise for all of us.
Bro imagine if Nicky decides to show up lol
Its possible
They might change the story a bit if that happens
No, the current SN is just an imaginary plan the Rescue Squad is making to save Nicky
There’s one kid in welcome to Raven brooks who we never see
The Alternate Universe stuff is a whole another subject. If youre not too deep into the lore, i wouldnt recommendthinking about it
Who
I think he was only in the pilot tho
You mean Aaron? Or somebody else
Lemme find the image
Okay
Yea i think that was supposed to be Aaron
The shoes are similar, but in no images does it show Aaron wearing any long sleeved shirts
Yea, its weird
He always wears this beige-ish t shirt
Still tho it’s worth noting that the new kid is likely someone brand new
We'll see
After all Nicky might be a bit obvious of a character
Furthermore in terms of a game design standpoint, Nicky’s outfit is far too basic for SN standards
All SN characters consist of an upper body item (Shirt, Coat, Sweater etc) A lower body item (Pants, shoes, knee pads for brave) a head item (Glasses, Goggles, Hats) and an accessory that typically displays a character’s special abilities in some way (Baseball bat for brave, Backback for bagger, or tools for inventor. Nicky’s outfit has nothing that could be considered an accessory bc he just has shorts, a shirt and goggles.
They can add an accesory, its not so hard
I guess, but still though it appears that he was never intended to be an SN character.
Btw where did you find out about the new kid coming the next update???
I dont remember tbh
Was it a sort of YouTube video or a dev blog
It could be one of the SN videos idk
One last question: Will SN Xbox ever get map 6 or the level editor?
Nothing has map-6 yet because its not a thing either it should be, level editor for xbox will be hard to do but they might
Oh I’m pretty sure I remember some sort of pumpkin themed house but that was probably just level editor as well
Idk I’ve never played on pc
If it was an actual map like that, it will be Halloween update with the theme of Halloween. If it was any offical maps it will be that. Or otherwise, yea its a LE map
Didn't alex say the as was supposed to tie all games together including secret neighbor
who?
Alex Nichiporchik
The CEO of Tinybuild
Thx
delete the paint on your foot
heres a tip
bed
ok ty
but which
PLS MORE tips
🤣
but why
Lmao
I thought it was a bug
Theres a lever on the bed in the second floor, when you pull it the bed will move and under it you'll find the lever you need
ty
I'm sorry, the command only works in #hello-neighbor . This is the lore channel. You can find the info here: #hello-neighbor message
Thing is that doesn’t work and at most can only add elements, non of the games can fit AS and even though he says they are they really aren’t, for Ex: in HN1 and HNVR we see Aaron freed Nicky, according to AS Nicky frees Aaron.
There are only 2 episodes out
We'll see how stuff plays out
From what we know as ties all the games together
This isn’t even retcon
It’s just twisting the obvious
Nikita already said HN1 was Self Therapy only during Act 3-Act 4
And in all of the games it’s clear Aaron saves Nicky
Sure yes there’s waiting, but he says it’s clear but it’s obviously not gonna be, and the Games have always been apart Old Lore AU.
I think the old lore thing is not really real
People have the idea of a really fleshed out timeline an a cohesive story when talking about the relation of the books and the games
But the books and the games have many inconsistencies
Which were retcon and addressed this is being addressed poorly
And Canon is Flexible as said by Alex
Which is the only reasonable thing he’s said
Yea
So the books were never really meant to tie into the games directly
Maybe book 7 is idk
Yes, but they still fit, while something’s constantly change that’s just for it to be different from the last.
Yea maybe
Ig you can say the books fit with hn1 but it gets pretty confusing with sn since half of the kids in sn are not jn the books
hn2 was gonna explain it
Nicky saving Aaron...
the cartoon has even more
the entirety of hn1 can be considered non canon
the teasers
alex spoiled half of the show
Nicky doesnt even get into the basement before he is caught
and for some reason he has a paperbag on his head during ep 6
also him Saving aaron contradicts hn1 and hnvr
alex himself has bassically said that Aaron never saves Nicky
How do you know that
a teaser shows the neighbor catching him right next to the door
The same thing happen in ep1
Nicky escaped
Ted trapped nicky in that room by closing the window
Maybe nicky escaped again or something
in this teaser he is litterally caught nowhere to go
he literally is right next to Nicky
He was in ep1 too
I mean breathing distance
Maybe it was a scene made to make tension
I dont think nicky will actually get caught into the basement like that
what tension? the way its executed in the teaser looks dumb
Maybe ted will throw him out of the house like he did in hn1
Why dont we all wait for the episode to come out
instead of going all through with just the teasers
Idea is we dont know what happened
We cant say the as fully "breaks" the lore
Nicky no
Weve only watched 2 episodes
Also Nicky is using the glasses
We dont know whats gonna happen
the act 3 house:
alex spoiled half of the show alread
Tell me what happens in ep 4
First half of the show
I said he already spoiled major plot points
How does the Kids get to Nicky
ep 4 is when nicky gets captured
and how do they escape
mayak is ep 7 pretty sure
Thats not really a major plot point
What's the purpose of Mayak. What's Guest doing in the show. Why Theodore visits Mayor
theres a timeskip and whole therapy episode (I wish it was a joke but alex is actually doint that)
So many unanswered questions
the mayak is a plot device
It was always a plot device
nothing else
they could have fixed that
Key word "could have"
yay more filler!
Good
Have you watched the episode
No fillers! We must have all lore
I mean the episodes only have about 10 minutes
Stuff will happen quicker
I dont thinks theres really time for a filler episode
the 2nd episode is filler....
nothing happens in ep 2
I dont think something big happening every episode is a good thing tbh
episode 2:
Oh no episode 2 is a filler... thats so bad man
but literally nothing happens in episode 2
episode 2 is the worst so far its boring and it ends the moment something interesting is happening
Plot twist: the whole AS is just filler
Ep 2 is the worst out of 2 episodes
yea, one of the two episodes
Also look at the animation and writing you can tell how little effort they are putting into this
The real stuff happens in HN3
I'm sorry but animation is decent. It can be rough sometimes but overall it doesnt look so bad. I dont know why people are so insistent on that
The animation aint that bad
the show has proven itself to be really bad why do you think its going to magically become the best thing ever when we get the other episodes that Alex spoiled?
bro you cant be serious
Because its not really bad
the animation is one of the cheapest things Ive seen
The show rn doesn't offer much since there are only 2 episodes
Why are you twisting my words. i didnt say that
especially when the characters run
run cycles are hard. The AS runs arent that bad
you acting like its going to be good despite the first 2 episodes being dogshit
The animation its pretty smooth
the AS animation is the opposite of smooth
I'm acting like i want to see all the episodes before judging. thank you very much
Like the chase scene in ep 1 was pretty well made
Im not saying that everyone should like the as, im just saying that it doesn't make sense to hate a show by only watching 2 episodes
I hate how they made Ted just grunt he hasnt even said a word in the AS (Trinity`s dream doesnt count)
The first 2 episodes are just setting the stage
mhm. that doesnt mean he will never talk though
He will get dialogue in the next episodes from what ive seen
he will
I hate it because it replaces what was better with something that is a clear downgraded and has only made the lore messier
It's not end of the world though
It didn't make the lore messier
we dont even see him talk in any of the teasers so I assume his speaking role will be minimal
Quite the contrary
yes it did
"The visitor you describe"
hnvr and hn2 dont even match eachother at all because hn2 was changed to fit the AS
The books didn't tie in with the games
hn1 is retconned if we look at the teasers
To begin with
they did a far better job than the AS
Trinity litterally lives where Nicky`s house should be in the AS
Youre saying that by only watching 2 episodes
Out of
18
The teasers
they contradict shit
you dont know the context of the teasers
also hn1 is meant to take place in the 90s while the AS has smartphones
The teasers are teasers, they dont reveal big stuff and they dont have context
Like for example the Ted in a jail teaser. I thought he was actually in jail, until someone pointed out that it can be a scene where kids are imagining him in jail
I cant just look at a gif and assume the whole show is bad, because my assumption of what happened in that teaser presents a story i dont like
It doesnt make sense
Now there's 2 possibilities that can happen with that teaser
All the teasers so far dissapointed me
What did tou expect from them
especially the act 3 house...
Also I hate how they addad smartphones
This one didnt disappoint me
i love this
it pisses me off that they removed this from hn2
just for it be only in the AS
mhm
looking at the negative sides like always
"Yes so this contradicts the already fleshed out and well thought out story that alex changed because he just felt like it"
Maybe its not actually them going inside his house
if I have to give AS credit for something is that the houses and buildings can look nice
I want Mayak. I dont care if its in AS or HN2 literally
I dont
Did alex ever say he actually scraped the lore
nope
Like i have never heard him say it
hn1 is supposed to be in the 90s
Outright
he says AS will tie the lore together iirc
the 90s tvs the phones the milk expiration date
Thats only from the books
the one thing that was kept consistent about hn1 in its development is that it took place in the 90s
Not really
the phones too
Theres no calendar
the milk expiration date is 1997
Wait really
yes
I didn't know that
I love looking at milk cartons for lore
Just hope they didnt change the guest though
in hn2 theres a sign saying its in 1996 (mayor goes to a boat contest)
me when HN2 will be the AS guest... (spider guest)
I mean the timejump is just something the writers felt appropriate for their story. Its their right to do that
milk is just a piece of evidence the tech being from the 90s adds more to this
But nooo, you see it breaks lore
Well he could do that
In 1.5
He crawled
In the intro
they are retconning the one thing that was consistent about hn
And it doesnt really chabge much
now theres 90s tech in modern times for no reason
You can play hn1 without knowing it takes place in the 90s
The years arent important
I always liked the story taking place in the 90s it felt like most of the story already happend and we had to pick up the pieces
now act 3 is in the future....
the decade was consistent
Actually Theodore was the Mimic all along...
I dont really cared before. I dont really care now
Nah bro it's the guest
Im having a habit of stealing depkis behavior
I mean yea its your opinion
My timelines are always "this happened before that. this happened after that"
Im the mimic
If you wanna hate the show for doing that
i dont look at the years
also it pisses me off beyond belief that they finally had the chance to give Delroy and Finch something to do only for them to sideline them
You're doing it horribly
Try harder
I have that mrbeast thing stuck in my head
Yea they shouldnt have existed...
like the books
they dont even break into the house in the AS (we cant see them in teasers and the poster excludes them)
they are present in hnvr....
They will maybe appear
nah we dont see them in the episode 6 teaser
Derloy is in some teasers i believe
and they are absent in promotional stuff
This one
alex made a thing for the characters and they were absent
oh wait you mean delroy and finhc
Is it weird i really wanna see the episodes
yes them
yea they dont exist like always
Nope
@steady nest
The milk of lore
I genuinely hope they dont carry over the AS date
I get the decades part but i dont think this is a reason to have the as
I love Hello Lore
hn2
What if the neighbors parents
Were so genius
That they invented technology beyond their time
Adelle and Roger Peterson were geniuses yea
the date is 1 year off but still its somewhat consistent
alex has already said that they moved up the dates
Wasnt hn2 made to match the "new lore"
he also said this
Its um complicated lol
they did that late into development and a bunch of book remnants remain
Wha
Did alex say that
which is dumb why not just have it be in the 90s? its just adding useless shit that overcomplicates everything
Or did they? Maybe more is canon then we thought
From the books
yea the book remnants that got added in patch 8... like the Book illustrations
no but its clear if you look at the game
1984 safe code is the date of bosco bay stuff
It isn't that clear to me
We dont even know what he's talking about yet
Since the AS started development about 2 years ago
That’s what I’m saying
he has said the dates have been moved up so its probs some dumb shit
the writing in the first 2 episodes is so awful that I dont have faith in the AS
Shouldn't have they make the game align eith the as 2 years ago aswell
If of course thats what happened
Which i doubt
AS was meant to follow the books but then they fired Carly and scrapped the books entirely
good, i would love to see the dumb shit myself, i can shit on it after that
Hello Chat
Hello Michael afton
Why do you think they fired carly
but i will not shit on it before seeing it
Welcome to hell
I just wish they didnt connect the AS with the games
Was that the Bite of '97!?
I swear to god you are the definition of Chaotic neutral
Doesn't hate a show before seeing it
DnD allignment thing
Because until that happens this chat will be hell
He literally said this "canon is flexible"
I dont think Alex will talk here for a long time
Can’t blame him lol
probably for the better
he just pissed people off
"Canon is flexible at this point"
After last time
Plus he doesn't even know the whole lore other than the animated series
I think most of the hate for the animated series started at hn2s launch: after the bad launch of the game, people were looking for someone to throw their anger at. The animated series writers and alex were good for that
I liked when CEO of a company came here and talked with us. Thank you
Same
I miss it
Yea, i remember the teaser time
and change the subject when someone asked something he didnt like
Well there was a chance he wouldn’t and sometimes
good times
He spoke about hn2
they had those before launch didnt they? why were only added in a patch
probably would lie about it
Thats not what i am talking about
Man at least we got them
People had the idea that there was a fleshed out story between the books and the games, which is not true. When alex said the as doesn't follow the books story, people interpreted it as the AS breaking the lore
and this convo is my cue to leave the chat
why are you always changing the subject to be negative all the time
hello and goodbye then
Because we are the hng
Chat
However there was no cohesive lore to begin with.
because im dissapointed and I can barely see any positives
i say "yea this happened, it was good" and you say " no actually something else was worse, why did they do that"
I was literally talking about how we were excited for patch with the new jumpscares and you said "they shouldve been there in the launch"
I dislike alex for all the times he has lied and made dumb decisions regarding the lore?
i was positive, you turned it into negative
What has alex lied about
You know what I just simply don’t care about talking lore at this point
Ok good for you but ain't nobody wanna hear all that
I didnt even mean it in a negative way I though you were talking about the updated jumpscares that were teased before the game came out but werent there at launch
I care and want to talk about it but i dont think i wanna do it here
Alex forgetting he aint a writer, yet still tries to make up his own lore
I was asking why would they make something only to not have it at launch? they even had the new updated jumpscares in the launch trailer for some reason
Well they are here now
Because they didn't have time to add it?
thats what i care about
Like the game really needed more time
Well I don’t like it because of 2 things
1 the chat becomes hell
2 the canon is all over the place or is it idk at this point
he acts like he has no idea what went on with hn2 when he was the CEO he said all the final game`s content was locked in by alpha 1.5....
What new lore has he come up with? All lore elements such as the guest, mayak and the cult have always been the same
like he seriously cannot be this clueless
Uhh idk... The Inventor working for the Neighbor????
isnt he talking about chat thinking Alexus scrapped all of Nikita's work
I don’t dislike hn lore at all I’m just too confused at the moment
To even think about it
This I just can't see happening canonically
Like you always do
People think he wrote AS when AS has its own writers
at least with Old Lore
Alex didn't know what happened because of the decentralised system tinybuild has, where people like alex dont intervine that much
its canon
How?
I use Canon to refer to Old Lore and AS Canon to refer to AS Lore
alpha 1.5 is an OLD build them having the final game`s content locked in by then is bs
At this point, the Neighbor can pull out an Infinity Stone out of a Ferris Wheel and I wouldnt be surprised at all
I am ok with the AS existing but I'm not going to call it the main Canon
I wouldnt be surprised if the neighbor became the SN ghost class instead of being possesed by the guest in the AS
Or what about both
AHHH
Im not a dev so i cant say much about that matter, but assuming alex lied when all the content that was promised wasnt instantly added to the game is a bit goofy
NOO
the old lore...
Bad lucky
Ah the Luck Device Gemstone thing
You are not Alex
What are you...
you can think on your own
Alex:
You are not Alex
you can think on your own
this was meant to be reply to that...
im not saying im alex
Im saying Alex can think that everything is canon all he wants. You're not him. You dont need to take all the things as canon
The Guest after collecting the 6 infinity souls about to change the timeline to be more favorable for it (Book Canon):
The guest
Finding the 6 one
doesnt his opinion literally affect what the games do?
And he’s gonna use his powers to take over the world
He’s gonna enter the mcu as well
And become thanos
he wants the AS to form the main pipeline for future projects which just dissapoints me beyond belief
And then return and becoming guest again
The Guest on it's way to one-shot Doctor Strange:
And then he enters the book universe
Do I gotta repeat it again
And mixes it
they are gonna be doubling down on it its gonna be impossible to ignore...
So at this point HN has like 5 universes
I see nothing happening yet lol
Yeah lol
And your opinion affects how you see the games
stuff will be happening
Like I'm just busy focusing on HN2
İt matter more than his opinion
Idc about AS
HN1-HNHS, Guidebook, Books, Most other Games, HN2, AS
them tieing them into the AS will make it impossible to ignore it
Meh hello neighbor 2 is barely tied to AS
patch 9 will either restore my hope in hn or ruin it entirely
That's something
It’s basically it’s own thing
Like i can say i think Guest loves pizza, and Alex can say Guest hates pizza
But its too late, for me Guest loves Pizza, nothing can change it
Thats the canon for me
I see it have potential
It's to the point the only thing preventing it from being main canon is Aaron's prescene
Its not about what actually happens
Its about how you perceive it
Hm, this definitely needs to be added on the menu
I don’t know anymore what is what
this guy --> 
The hn canon is like ennard currently
Even then I feel there's a chance they'll do a twist reveal that the Aaron in HN2 ain't actually Aaron
I'm starting to think that maybe Aaron didn't actually get dragged away by the Guest
Well, you can solve it with this
#hello-neighbor message
I think that was just a transition for the credits
The Family Lost achievement is unlocked after grabbing a picture, when you grab the picture the only people on it are Ted and Aaron, Ted is clearly still alive so Aaron has to be the Family Lost
I mean Aaron screaming voiceline is still being unused
I love scrapped voicelines for lore
So hn2 is old lore then? Or is it new lore but hnvr is new as well
No
HN2 is new lore
HNVR is old lore
But if you want, you can put it in the same timeline
Thats what im saying
So if that Voiceline doesn't ever get added then that would mean Aaron canonically is still here and not get dragged away
Which would make hn2 canon then
That's my theory
bro is going to grow up to be a facebook mom
Perception is reality
he still gets dragged away in the ending
Making HN2 Aaron just be someone that looks similar to Aaron is pretty much the only thing they have to do to make HN2 fit Old Lore
But no screaming
So I now believe that's just a transition
For the credits
If you want to see something as canon
Thats canon for you
Doesnt matter the actual intention
Hurricane might have just not hit yet and will hit in Chapter 2
Ok here’s the timeline so Aaron gets killed by the guest mr Peterson builds a robot Aaron
Cant wait for Hello 2 2
I solved it
I'm taking Aaron not getting dragged being canon
The RBB Archives is not a reliable source for HN2 Lore as it contradicts stuff
can the guest shapeshift? if so then that could be an interesting way to manipulate ted?
Just so it would work well for HN2
Yea
I'll continue thinking its Theodore dragging him
Same
I wish they didnt change the story so late into development..
So wait could the books still be canon in some way Alex never outright said it wasn’t canon anymore
like Back To School's Shutdown Reason and how much disrepair the Museum is in
Oh my god bro just stop lol
Theodore would have locked nicky back in tho
He just said it didn’t fit the animation
Mayak will solve the story...
Ain't nobody wanna hear all that
Cool
But he didnt
and boom all the contradictions between HN2 and the Old Lore have been dealt with
Isnt ted supposed to be smart?
He’s not anymore
Ted is acting without thinking if you didnt realized
Clearly lol
At the very least the Guest can change between looking like a crow and the form we're used to
He's smart, but doesnt think much and acts quickly when he's angry
