Those 6+ hours usually involve finding tools to unlock doors and stuff, if you know where each item is and where to use it you'll take like only 30 minutes, 15 or 10 minutes for average speedrunners.
lore:your character is the neighbour's son and your sister is the shadow that wants revenge 'cause u killed her(the character's mother is dead btw)and the neighbour(your father)is protecting u from your sister
It's so weird to me that this game had so many "unfinished" versions, any one of which would be a really good horror game with a cool story and aesthetic, but the "final" version of the game that they settled on is pretty mediocre. I much would've preferred one of the game's alphas to the final version.
mediocre is way too positive of a word for the game. its full of a shit ton of bugs, shitty story, absolutely horrendous art style and graphics that makes me wanna puke, super illogical and nonsensical puzzles and everything including the movements and the controls feels like a 10 year old's first time making a game in unity
My guess of why he grows at 8:30 is because he’s conquering the fear of his past, and the physical growth represents his mental strength growing. Showing how he’s put aside his past fear and learned to unify the trauma.
@@giorecaldestumpfs1010 no the entire game is a metaphor for growing up specifically growing out of your fears and for the game your neighbor was your fear. It was your childhood trauma you weren’t taking the monsters power you were literally (and figuratively) rising above your fear the game does this very well that’s why I love this game
fun little piece of hello neighbor history: on launch the satellite dish in act 1 wasnt actually there, they added that because of how easy it was to skip the whole thing and look where it got them
Now, I know Hello Neighbor isn't really a good game, especially not the "full release" of it, but I am also kinda nostalgic for it because I watched alot of UA-camrs play when I was younger and it was like the most interesting thing in the world to me at the time. I still can't believe that was over 5 years ago
The reason you get big. You play as your child’s mental health, your saving him thus raising his courage and lowering his fear of the monster (trauma), I’m pretty sure there is an ending where you kill the monster thus ending the trauma
that is the normal ending, after the final defence and before the white place, there is an animation of you jumping towards the monster and then explosions
I would also add, that it could be a reference on the child wishes of protection from an adult because of the kidnapping. The kid (as a grown up) wished he could've been big and strong enough to protect his younger self.
At the start of act 1, you could go behind the first house on the left side to see a “UnrealEngineMissingScript” which is a red circle and it does a shortcut to the part where you can’t move at the neighbours window.
The lore behind the last part is basically growing in life far enough that you grow big and confront your fears. The shadow monster is the player's fears.
@@Merkhahba I think he went and made it a hella watered down version when he saw how it got popular with a young demographic. Can't make little Timmy work too hard for that credit sequence, can we?
1:53 POV: you’re a pitbull named little buddy after 0.5 milliseconds being released from it’s cage trying to escape a prison fort built house just to rip apart a 4 year old because it heard it breath, chew and walk.
nice speedrun! I was really into this game when it was in like, alpha, and then each version they released was like.... way worse? idk this game ended up being trash and a huge disappointment. i LOVE watching the speedruns tho because of how broken it is
for the growing part after protecting your younger self, its almost like you (the shield) is the determination or the cozy feeling of being safe again..
In the part where you protect your kid self and continuously grow, it’s possible that it’s a metaphor for how your character is getting over the childhood trauma caused by both the neighbor and school bullying, and growing more brave and bold in the process. The giant shadow creature looks somewhat like the player character, so it could represent his own personal insecurities and fears that have plagued him through his life. The part with the lighter may be insinuating he did drugs or smoked as a teenager to escape said insecurities, and that led to him being evicted as you said.
I’ve been waiting for this for a pretty long time, glad it’s finally here. The explanation for the growing part is.. idk it’s either trying to show us that we’ve become an adult or just a strange way to make the game harder
The sequel is coming out in a few months, so we're gonna see a whole lot of it. Also, unlike the first game, the second game actually seems pretty great.

There was this one time when I got to act 2 and I just randomly got launched into the air so hight to a point where I accidentally beat act 2 in less than 30 seconds.
This happened to me a couple of times as well, not in act 2 tho. I think this happens every now and again due the physics with hitboxes being quite messy and it’s not really possible to launch up like that consistently
I have completed it like 3 times and I had it for like 3 years I think I finished it once in my first year then the second year the third ear it was untouched and now I saw this and I was like hey that's pretty cool imma play it again
The first alphas were legendary. It was a scary horror game about breaking into your neighbours house.. now its just a glitchy game with alot of platforming and the neigbour only being at the first floor most of the time...
He's said a number of speedruns have broken him before, but I believe this is the first one that truly broke him while *it* was breaking simultaneously.
There’s a book series prequel thing that goes with the game, and hello neighbor hide and seek as well. The ps4 achievement description for completing the fear school mini game and getting the push power is “learn to stand up for yourself,” so that’s what I think the finale means.
Remember when this game was the shit back then? And then they murdered the AI (their main selling point) for overcomplicated puzzles with no hints on what to do next in the newer updates
@@HeyLoiss That's what we all thought too, 5-6 years ago. And we were jebaited. Never going to buy another game in this series from those folks again. I was actually quite excited for the game too when the Alphas were legendary.
@@point-five-oh6249 As I've said, watch the Gameplay Deepdive and the AI breakdown. The AI breakdown is animated, but the gameplay deepdive is actual gameplay, they could not lie about anything. But I understand you. I personally am not going to buy the game on launch, but rather wait till it's clear to everyone whether on not this game is worth it.
@@HeyLoiss That's the thing though, I don't think they were purposely lying about the first game, but it just shows they don't have a clue about how to make a plot first of all, but also the main selling point, the AI, got pretty dumb later on. I probably won't buy the game period. They robbed my $30. See normally in game dev, Alphas/Early Access is supposed to be a rough draft of what the game will be like, and they had such a good framework to build on. Instead of focusing on what they already had, they decided to add too much and bog down the game. Also yes, yes they can lie about that. If you need proof on these things, check out BlizzCon when they showcased WC3 Reforged, and then check out that the cutscenes and gameplay is the exact same where they promised and showcased this and that but jebaited so many people that the country of Australia almost sued Blizz for false advertising and violation of consumer rights laws. I mean there's a reason they only have like 1 or 2 stars on most game rating sites from User Reviews. Just because they whipped up a snappy scenematic in less than 30 minutes doesn't mean that's what we are actually going to get.
The reason they ruined this game, and butchered the AI was because MattPat made a whole bunch of theories aboit a story, when there really wasnt a story to begin with, and the popularity of those theories led to development choices that hurt the game overall
I remember my first play through and seeing the collision detection of objects and the character could be easily abused for speed launches and jumps and was like “Speed runs must be fucking insane” and they are 😂
Michael Roth is an introverted boy who always felt he didn't fit in in any of the many cities he has lived in due to his parents' work until one day they move to Raven Brooks, a small town full of mysteries. There he meets his best friend Aaron James Peterson with whom they explore the most iconic places in the city such as the old fair in which an event that marked all the citizens took place. Aaron's father, Mr. Peterson, was a designer of stunning amusement parks and he was invited to do a project at Raven Brooks, a state-of-the-art amusement park named after a very famous company called The Golden Apple. When the inauguration of the park happened everyone was excited but one of the attractions failed, ending the life of a girl named Lucy yi. Soon Nicky discovers that what happened may not have been an accident ... Then he begins to investigate death3 and discovers very murky things about Mr. Peterson, while this is happening, he receives the news that Mr. Peterson's wife died in a car accident, which destroys his friend (Peterson's son), in the hide and seek game it is explained that Peterson's children were very happy until their mother died3, this angers Aaron a lot and he accidentally killed4 his sister. This ends with the sanity of Mr. Peterson and he begins to be more mysterious and Nicky investigates more thoroughly about him, getting to go into his house to see what he has in the basement and why Mr. Peterson visits the old fair so much. . I leave you with that so that you do not get too confused because it is a very broad story which is better to read and understand the references in the different games. I highly recommend the books, they are very entertaining and will most likely become your favorite franchises. :)
You grow in size at the end as a symbolic thing. The player's physical growth represents him confronting his past, the shadow and overcoming his fear, ie, growing up as a stronger person
8:44 I'm guessing that it's some kind of metaphor about getting stronger as you face things that once scared you. I don't actually know though, it's just a guess.
Apparently tinybuild(the makers of the game) keep asking matpat on twitter to make theories on the game, and he keeps rejecting cause he doesnt like the final game
Literally *everyone* brings this up whenever there is a hello neighbor video to make the devs look bad. I heard The guy running the Twitter account was fired, so PLEASE just don’t bring up something that happened a year ago
Since you're doing Hello Neighbor speed-runs I would love to see you speed-run every level of both Party Hard 1 and 2. The creators made both Hello Neighbor and Party Hard but Party Hard is underrated and no one plays them if you like they're games you should totally check out Party Hard to.
@@staticwarrior I don't see the problem but I'll fix it if it really bothers people. I just thought it would be a lot faster to read than just putting the full title.
I think part of the reason why this game is the way it is is because of the community making videos, theory, lore, etc, basically milking the heck out of it. The game starts of intriguing when it's in the alpha phase, like "what's he hiding in his basement? Go sneak in there". But seeing the community doing those stuff, i feel like the devs just decided to give what the community wants, which sucks btw. The game feels hollow, lacks identity of what the dev actually aiming for
8:45 Im pretty sure the shadow is your fear. And you growing bigger and the shadow disappearing refers to you conquering your fear and ending your fear for neighbor.

The lore is that the writters of the story smoked mushrooms way too much and this was the result.
"im pretty sure its childhood trauma or something, but I don't care" the true mind of a speedrunner
The only thing more amazing than this speedrun is the fact that people actually play hello neighbor

I remember watching 6+ hour playthoughs with some youtubers and its really amazing how fast you can actually beat this. I thought it was way harder.
SAME
that's speedrunning for ya, completing hours-long games in under 30 minutes
Those 6+ hours usually involve finding tools to unlock doors and stuff, if you know where each item is and where to use it you'll take like only 30 minutes, 15 or 10 minutes for average speedrunners.
The only reason why those playthroughs take hours to complete this normally, is how broken everything is. It makes the puzzles 10x harder.

lore:your character is the neighbour's son and your sister is the shadow that wants revenge 'cause u killed her(the character's mother is dead btw)and the neighbour(your father)is protecting u from your sister
It's so weird to me that this game had so many "unfinished" versions, any one of which would be a really good horror game with a cool story and aesthetic, but the "final" version of the game that they settled on is pretty mediocre. I much would've preferred one of the game's alphas to the final version.
mediocre is way too positive of a word for the game. its full of a shit ton of bugs, shitty story, absolutely horrendous art style and graphics that makes me wanna puke, super illogical and nonsensical puzzles and everything including the movements and the controls feels like a 10 year old's first time making a game in unity

My guess of why he grows at 8:30 is because he’s conquering the fear of his past, and the physical growth represents his mental strength growing. Showing how he’s put aside his past fear and learned to unify the trauma.

ua-cam.com/video/avFP67EIYvo/v-deo.html
@@giorecaldestumpfs1010 no the entire game is a metaphor for growing up specifically growing out of your fears and for the game your neighbor was your fear. It was your childhood trauma you weren’t taking the monsters power you were literally (and figuratively) rising above your fear the game does this very well that’s why I love this game
Him: *going through walls*
The neighbor,who has a house that defies gravity and a physics failure: *HOW OMG?!*
“This is a weird section, I think it has something to do about childhood trauma, anyway I don’t really care I just wanna get to this door” lol
The lore of Hello Neighbor is one of the only things that I like about it.
Player: **Ninjas their way throughout the house**
Neighbor: *”You weren’t supposed to do that…”*
fun little piece of hello neighbor history: on launch the satellite dish in act 1 wasnt actually there, they added that because of how easy it was to skip the whole thing
and look where it got them
Imagine getting your property vandalized and basement raided by some guy who suddenly came running into your house
Now, I know Hello Neighbor isn't really a good game, especially not the "full release" of it, but I am also kinda nostalgic for it because I watched alot of UA-camrs play when I was younger and it was like the most interesting thing in the world to me at the time. I still can't believe that was over 5 years ago
holy shit really? I'm somewhat traumatized realizing it was that long ago!
hand in hand with yansim
Holy shit I thought I was the only one, I legit had the exactly same experience
5 YEARS!!!!!!
Same, ti the point where I actually somewhat followed the games release
Normal people: Ah this is a puzzle horror game
Speed runners: it's a platformer with cool tricks
The reason you get big. You play as your child’s mental health, your saving him thus raising his courage and lowering his fear of the monster (trauma), I’m pretty sure there is an ending where you kill the monster thus ending the trauma
that is the normal ending, after the final defence and before the white place, there is an animation of you jumping towards the monster and then explosions
@grammar thx
I would also add, that it could be a reference on the child wishes of protection from an adult because of the kidnapping. The kid (as a grown up) wished he could've been big and strong enough to protect his younger self.
@grammar no
@grammar you forgot a fullstop
At the start of act 1, you could go behind the first house on the left side to see a “UnrealEngineMissingScript” which is a red circle and it does a shortcut to the part where you can’t move at the neighbours window.
The lore behind the last part is basically growing in life far enough that you grow big and confront your fears. The shadow monster is the player's fears.
_"The shadow is following."_

And I agree
“Hey billy, dinners in 20 mins!”
“Okay mom, lemme just i n f i l t r a t e t h e n e i g h b o r ‘ s h o u s e”
nice speedrun! I was really into this game when it was in like, alpha, and then each version they released was like.... way worse? idk this game ended up being trash and a huge disappointment. i LOVE watching the speedruns tho because of how broken it is
They cared more about baiting youtubers than make a good game
They literally made a great built scaperoom/parkour-esque alpha and then did a completely different game about puzzles
for the growing part after protecting your younger self, its almost like you (the shield) is the determination or the cozy feeling of being safe again..
In the part where you protect your kid self and continuously grow, it’s possible that it’s a metaphor for how your character is getting over the childhood trauma caused by both the neighbor and school bullying, and growing more brave and bold in the process. The giant shadow creature looks somewhat like the player character, so it could represent his own personal insecurities and fears that have plagued him through his life. The part with the lighter may be insinuating he did drugs or smoked as a teenager to escape said insecurities, and that led to him being evicted as you said.
all this is true except the lighter part, nicky wasn't a bad teenager, his only real problem was his curiosity
I’ve been waiting for this for a pretty long time, glad it’s finally here. The explanation for the growing part is.. idk it’s either trying to show us that we’ve become an adult or just a strange way to make the game harder
havent seen this game in a while
The sequel is coming out in a few months, so we're gonna see a whole lot of it.
Also, unlike the first game, the second game actually seems pretty great.
@@HeyLoiss I hope so lol, hello neighbour looked really promising when it was very early in development but instead of improving like most games do, it got worse instead. I’d really like to see an actually good and fun version of this game

I hope the sequel doesn't have 5 million bugs and glitches and doesn't crash a bunch, and also you don't randomly slide through walls and the floor forcing you to restart an act
finally, a nice reply section.
Great video! I wasn’t to fond of this game because it was so hard to control so I quit like after an hour trying to get into the basement. But good speedrun 😊

There was this one time when I got to act 2 and I just randomly got launched into the air so hight to a point where I accidentally beat act 2 in less than 30 seconds.
Got any details on that? I imagine speedrunners for Hello Neighbor would love to hear about it, even if you don't remember much.
also important to note what version you were on theirs a few different versions people speedrun
This happened to me a couple of times as well, not in act 2 tho. I think this happens every now and again due the physics with hitboxes being quite messy and it’s not really possible to launch up like that consistently

I've had this game for years and almost gotten to do finishing the game, bit I forgot about it and never have completed before 🤣

Don’t bother, it’s not worth it.

I have completed it like 3 times and I had it for like 3 years I think I finished it once in my first year then the second year the third ear it was untouched and now I saw this and I was like hey that's pretty cool imma play it again
Now you remembered go finish the game
this game used to be the shit, now we all forgot about it
The first alphas were legendary. It was a scary horror game about breaking into your neighbours house.. now its just a glitchy game with alot of platforming and the neigbour only being at the first floor most of the time...
now its literally shit
It used to be the shit, now it's shit
Yeah it kept going downhill after the first few alphas, idk what the devs were thinking
@@HeyLoiss sometimes it takes a stumble to learn the stride
He's said a number of speedruns have broken him before, but I believe this is the first one that truly broke him while *it* was breaking simultaneously.
In the school section you can just keep running, no need to hide in the locker, as long as you go in the right places you can go straight to the end.

WOWO
So it’s possible to delete the neighbour?
Where are u from maan?
now that's what i call a clutch
There’s a book series prequel thing that goes with the game, and hello neighbor hide and seek as well. The ps4 achievement description for completing the fear school mini game and getting the push power is “learn to stand up for yourself,” so that’s what I think the finale means.
I just got it, the house is able to be so big because the neighbor (aka Theodore Peterson) is an architect
Remember when this game was the shit back then?
And then they murdered the AI (their main selling point) for overcomplicated puzzles with no hints on what to do next in the newer updates
@@HeyLoiss That's what we all thought too, 5-6 years ago. And we were jebaited. Never going to buy another game in this series from those folks again. I was actually quite excited for the game too when the Alphas were legendary.
@@point-five-oh6249 As I've said, watch the Gameplay Deepdive and the AI breakdown. The AI breakdown is animated, but the gameplay deepdive is actual gameplay, they could not lie about anything.
But I understand you. I personally am not going to buy the game on launch, but rather wait till it's clear to everyone whether on not this game is worth it.
@@HeyLoiss That's the thing though, I don't think they were purposely lying about the first game, but it just shows they don't have a clue about how to make a plot first of all, but also the main selling point, the AI, got pretty dumb later on.
I probably won't buy the game period. They robbed my $30. See normally in game dev, Alphas/Early Access is supposed to be a rough draft of what the game will be like, and they had such a good framework to build on. Instead of focusing on what they already had, they decided to add too much and bog down the game.
Also yes, yes they can lie about that. If you need proof on these things, check out BlizzCon when they showcased WC3 Reforged, and then check out that the cutscenes and gameplay is the exact same where they promised and showcased this and that but jebaited so many people that the country of Australia almost sued Blizz for false advertising and violation of consumer rights laws. I mean there's a reason they only have like 1 or 2 stars on most game rating sites from User Reviews. Just because they whipped up a snappy scenematic in less than 30 minutes doesn't mean that's what we are actually going to get.
The reason they ruined this game, and butchered the AI was because MattPat made a whole bunch of theories aboit a story, when there really wasnt a story to begin with, and the popularity of those theories led to development choices that hurt the game overall
@@point-five-oh6249 be skeptical but wait until the game comes out before deciding you hate it

"Once you make it past this section, a gay will appear"

I think lore behind why you grow is because you are getting over your fears from your past
Alright, so the hello neighbor lore is that the neighbor has to get over his trauma. The getting bigger is a metaphor for getting stronger.
Basically, buuuut you need read all the books to understand the trauma best.
Michael Roth is an introverted boy who always felt he didn't fit in in any of the many cities he has lived in due to his parents' work until one day they move to Raven Brooks, a small town full of mysteries. There he meets his best friend Aaron James Peterson with whom they explore the most iconic places in the city such as the old fair in which an event that marked all the citizens took place. Aaron's father, Mr. Peterson, was a designer of stunning amusement parks and he was invited to do a project at Raven Brooks, a state-of-the-art amusement park named after a very famous company called The Golden Apple. When the inauguration of the park happened everyone was excited but one of the attractions failed, ending the life of a girl named Lucy yi. Soon Nicky discovers that what happened may not have been an accident ... Then he begins to investigate death3 and discovers very murky things about Mr. Peterson, while this is happening, he receives the news that Mr. Peterson's wife died in a car accident, which destroys his friend (Peterson's son), in the hide and seek game it is explained that Peterson's children were very happy until their mother died3, this angers Aaron a lot and he accidentally killed4 his sister. This ends with the sanity of Mr. Peterson and he begins to be more mysterious and Nicky investigates more thoroughly about him, getting to go into his house to see what he has in the basement and why Mr. Peterson visits the old fair so much. . I leave you with that so that you do not get too confused because it is a very broad story which is better to read and understand the references in the different games. I highly recommend the books, they are very entertaining and will most likely become your favorite franchises. :)
Fun fact if you save and quit right as the neighborhood is going to catch you for the first time you can skip the first cutscene
I didnt know this was a thing since the game is pretty complicated and illogical, but I'm kinda glad you speed ran it. (I want raw footage)
You finished the first phase in two minutes while it took me two years
1:41 micheal jackson should take notes to do the jump moonwalk
You grow in size at the end as a symbolic thing. The player's physical growth represents him confronting his past, the shadow and overcoming his fear, ie, growing up as a stronger person
The reason the player gets so big is that now that he’s an adult he can figuratively grow bigger than his fears and defeat them
8:44 I'm guessing that it's some kind of metaphor about getting stronger as you face things that once scared you. I don't actually know though, it's just a guess.
Apparently tinybuild(the makers of the game) keep asking matpat on twitter to make theories on the game, and he keeps rejecting cause he doesnt like the final game

I think part of the reason why this game is the way it is is because of the community making videos, theory, lore, etc, basically milking the heck out of it. The game starts of intriguing when it's in the alpha phase, like "what's he hiding in his basement? Go sneak in there". But seeing the community doing those stuff, i feel like the devs just decided to give what the community wants, which sucks btw. The game feels hollow, lacks identity of what the dev actually aiming for
