Hello Neighbor 2's Story Problem

[narrow shell]

Hello Neighbor 2 (HN2) is a great game, it has good story, gameplay, and everything is just good. I just have one problem, the lore. In HN1, we finally get some lore about the game, specifically about Nicky, and his childhood trauma with the Neighbor. In Act 3, the Neighbor is gone and left the original house, Nicky is only fighting him in his dream. So, what happened to the Neighbor, he could have ran back to the red house in HN2 where we again, face him. But, in Act 1, Nicky finds the Neighbor locking his son in the basement, and when he wakes up in Act 2, the son unlocks the door so Nicky could get out, showing that he son was still in he basement for the duration of Act 2. But, then in Act 3 the Neighbor had ran away, and most likely with his son too, so that's why he could be a the red house in HN2. But, at the start of the HN2, we see the Neighbor forcefully taking his son into he house, and this is not a in the pas thing the news guy who we play as, (I will call him Phill) and his is happening a he original house in Act 1 of HN1! And, this can't be a prequal because they left the house and it boarded up, and it's in a completely different neighborhood! And, I would also like to add that the crow dude makes no appearance in the game, just in he first cut seen, he's even on the main poster for the game. So, as there is no reference to the first game and no reference o Nicky, this makes HN1 Alpha 5, And Hide and Seek HN1. TinyBuild, please put some more explanation to the lore, and maybe give some slack to the first game, because a squeal, adds to the story, doesn't change it. Thank you for reading.

Oh okok thanks

[narrow shell]

The whole names in hn is still new to me

[jaunty isle]

Quentin. not quinten

[subtle tinsel]

hey, you pinged the CEO, thats like even worse then pinging the admin

[narrow shell]

Tbh I just pinned who was online i just want someone that works with hn to see this

[subtle tinsel]

ok

but you do know that eerie guest is the main reason that so much stuff is missing, the story isnt great, and that the game is overall a buggy mess

[narrow shell]

I didn’t find it buggy but it is a mess

[long haven]

The story is some of the best story in any game I've ever played...... honestly

[narrow shell]

I didn’t say the story was bad

[long haven]

I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to Big_feller

[narrow shell]

Ah ok

[south aspen]

I hardly disagree. In my opinion, God Of War, or Little Nightmares takes that place

[slow cedar]

The story is awful wym it's hard to even follow if you don't watch those YouTube videos or Google it.

[golden blaze]

You gotta play more games then

[visual herald]

No, it has potential to be one of the best stories but the way it was executed and showed to the player is not great. They could have made it so much more mysterious and interesting yet they just didn’t and to top it off stopped it right when it was beginning to get good.

[long haven]

The story is incredible.... but its executed and shown in such hard to follow ways that I'm not surprised so many seem to think it's outright awful.

[gloomy thicket]

In the act 2 that the rescue team who’s gonna save Nicky doesn’t they ?

[south aspen]

I hardly disagree

[storm holly]

Let Me Explain, HN2 Takes Place Exactly After Act 2, In The End Of Act 2 We Hear A Glass Break which Causes The Neighbor To Flee, That Glass Breaking Is Aaron Breaking Out Of The Basement Which Is Why We See Mr. Peterson Frantically Getting Aaron Back In The Basement, Also Nicky Would Run Back Home And Tell The Cops Which Is Why In The Morning The Cops Are At The Peterson House.

Also It Is Presumed The Ending Of Act 2 Was At The Late Evening To Night

[late lily]

Ok but like it doesnt make sense that he could totally destroy huge parts of his house and the walls in literally less than 12 hours

There are many plotholes to what you just said

[storm holly]

Idk If You Know This But The Giant Extra Levels Aren’t Canon, All He Actually Did Was Add Barbed Wires In Some Places, Board Up Windows, And Block The Basement Door With A Couch.

[late lily]

Source ?
That woule be extremely dumb bcus like youre telling me that like whenever Nicky goes at for example the shark room its actually all his imagination and those floors dont exist like what da heck

[long haven]

Act one and two are somewhat exaggerated nightmares based on real traumas, the basement wasn't actually that huge, and the huge walls with barbed wire were probably more metaphorical for being trapped in the house.

Just something to keep in mind.........
