  • Hello Neighbor is an incredibly broken game, and speedruns are the perfect area to show just how broken this game can get. While speedrunning Hello Neighbor, we do a ton of amazing strategies, exploits, and glitches to go as fast as possible.

    Hello Neighbor description (from Steam):
    ABOUT THIS GAME
    Hello Neighbor is a stealth horror game about sneaking into your neighbor's house to figure out what horrible secrets he's hiding in the basement. You play against an advanced AI that learns from your every move. Really enjoying climbing through that backyard window? Expect a bear trap there. Sneaking through the front door? There'll be cameras there soon. Trying to escape? The Neighbor will find a shortcut and catch you.
    Suspenseful horror gameplay that focuses on sneaking around your neighbor's house
    Constantly evolving experience where the Neighbor's AI counters your moves, and learns from what you do
    Sandbox-style gameplay with plenty of environmental interaction and physics

      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.

      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. :)

      What generic crap, I haven’t seen a four account bot stream though, but they’re sloppy for using the same accounts across multiple videos on the same channel, you can see the comment history with a click, dunno who the person in the pfp is, but I don’t think they’d be happy to know they’re being plastered everywhere, on second look it was created a month ago, and the picture looks pretty generic, so my best guess would be it is something to make it look more real, like the usage of “U”.

    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.

    Well i don't know much of the lore of Hello Neighbor, but at my perspective and my theory that i just invetend right now, the reason you grow everytime The Thing hits you, its because your mind its growing and overcoming your childhood trauma, you are turning as big as your fear and finally putting an end to your trauma, turning bigger inside makes you powerful outside, having a bigger mind turns you invincible outside, thats what i think thats it.

      Got any details on that? I imagine speedrunners for Hello Neighbor would love to hear about it, even if you don't remember much.

      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

    What is so baffling about this game is, if I believe what you show in the speedrun strat, I played the game with the same strategies for a lot of my normal (slow as molasses and extremelly frustrating) playthrough. Like the jumping above the fence in chapter 2, or even the first tricky jump from the roof, I did exactly that. I even got trapped in the door and activated it by accident. I remember wondering around, not finding really how I was supposed to do anything, and then realising that I had cheesed the game, instead of finding any normal route...

    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.

    You get bigger because you're overcoming your fear of the shadow monster by protecting your past self from it, aka the trauma of the shadow monster dwindles away more and more each time he's stopped. Like the legend that Santa can't have magic without believers of Christmas spirit
