Hello Neighbor has been delayed, but in it's place beta 3 was released. And with it a whole new plethora of theory potential. We have a new basement, a BOSS Battle!, and so much more devil imagery. But is the neighbor the villain or the victim?

The Russian on the birthday banner is misspelled. In stead of Birthday it says riBthday. Also the Hospital misspelled as soHpital. Always the third letter switched with the first. Pls let MatPat see this comment. Maybe its something.
Sori is them combined, It sounds like sorry...

As someone growing up in a Russian household Russian family get very overwhelming. Abuse isn’t seen as abuse but as something normal. I never as a child understood that my father yelling at me or hitting me wasn’t okay. I believe the rooms may be a metaphor for growing up and realizing that what your parental figure did to you wasn’t right. You’re not the bad guy, you are the victim. As a child you are small and heavily dependent on you family for support. I believe that’s why the rooms look so big. You’re seeing it as a flashback. Traumatic events such as abuse often cause ptsd and other mental disorders some of which I struggle myself. Flashbacks may be triggered by people, actions, things, and most importantly places. Moving back into out childhood home brought up said memories and trauma. On the other completely different note there may not even be anyone in the basement and that’s just a the character we play as having flashbacks to him and his mother being locked in the basement.
Well, it’s only abuse depending on the circumstance. My mom and sister always yell down stairs. My parents hit (spanked. Sound funny, ik) when we didnt go up the stairs fast enough for bed.
This isn’t abuse, it’s just discipline.
Of course, your situation may be completely different. I’m not sure.
Edit: MAKWLAQNSIXPBRY KABXI spell
Yo calm down Jamal ok you don't have to type that
@@ihavenodogs you don’t have to type this on an abuse victims comment, Y’know?
And uh, actually what you describe does kinda sound like abuse. You should never hit your kid for being bad, it just makes them *scared*. Speaking as someone who always saw what his dad did as normal, and disciplinary, and for what it was, abuse.
I think the main character you play is actually in hell or some purgatory state living in a nightmare. The theme of 4 pops up all the time, with the forth and last either being broken, dropped, or have an apple in it. The main sign I want to focus on is the one next to the gramaphone. One parent holding four children with the forth one being dropped. Notice how there is only one parent. This could represent the nieghbor being a only farther. His wife could have died in a car crash (suggest by the crash sound) or died of some other cause leaving the neighbor alone to raise four children. This is where the main character comes in, you are the fourth child. Dropped, forgotten and with the golden apple inside you. The golden apple is a symbol of power and knowledge. The power maybe to bring loved ones from the dead. What I believed happened is that the neighbors wife died and in his mourn he sacrificed you, one of his children for the power to bring her back. But why you, why would he sacrifice you? Well that's where the fear rooms come in. Each one represent a tragic event in the main characters life the resulted In a poor relationship with your father. Being bullied at school could change how you act in home life possibly making the father mad. The grocery store could symbolize you getting lost in the store putting stress on the nieghbor and finally the pantry could be the neighbor (your dad) locking you in a pantry for disobaying rules. Your the sad mannequin at the party maybe all your other brothers get priority over you and your left out. I feel these fear rooms show us that the father doesn't like his fourth son. And when his wife died he gave you up to the devil for the power to bring his wife back leaving you in a hellish landscape of your child hood home where you are constantly watched by the devil (shadow man) and the only way to get out is too go through the basement. But your father doesn't want you to get out because that means his wife will die again so a hell version of him keeps your from doing so.
Anyway that's just my take on it and thought I should share it. If you read all the way through tell me what you think. I want to hear feed back.
Edit.
Holy crap I didn't think this would explode as well as it did. Thanks for reading it guys I really appreciate it :)
HockeyTanker that must have taken time to right
nova amazing / you mean type?
HockeyTanker you make an amazing point I give you five stars and a smiley face 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 :)
HockeyTanker 10/10 that was awesome
Nah I think that your character is an agent of satan trying to get the family to take there souls because the neighbour did something
The shadow is lucifer.
the neighbor is your father... however, the neighbor is locked in the basement the person you see as the neighbor chasing you all over is not your father but lucifer pretending to be your father.
You are returning to your childhood home, you see something is wrong with your father because that isn't your father. you're home was changed in unnatural ways and every time you get caught, he doesn't hurt you... he just sends you home. (i know if i caught someone sneaking into my house not once but like 500 times i'd break someones leg at least)
there was a crash, your mother died. Your father sold his soul and likeness to the devil to save your life/keep you safe. this is why the neighbor can't hurt you... even if he wanted to, he must protect you as per the contract. The fear rooms are recreations of your childhood fears, put there by your father so he can remember you and remember times he saved you to prove to himself that he loves you and his deal was worth it. (insert simpsons, you do it for her snapshot)
now as an adult you are trying to save your father from eternal damnation. you relive the fears from your past, where your father had to save you to prove to him that you can now take care of yourself and free him from his contract.
boom, solved.
That actually makes sense, and sounds very plausible.
NoESanity Ok..What about the shadowman?
NoESanity nice you solved it for him
swigwig The shadowman could be the incorporeal neighbor/father while the devil is possessing his body.
NoESanity Wow... clap and a half to you

Well, he does have a wife, but maybe he re married?😅
bahaha i said the same thing in my head
Eh, they look kinda related to me. I think they’re brothers
Something I just thought... The size of the house... I think it may be symbolic as well. Going with the child perspective, a house always looks bigger/has lots of rooms etc in a child's eyes. Also, notice the length of the stairway/hallway to the basement. To a child, the basement is scary and the stairs/hallway looks longer than it actually is. It's just something I noticed.
That's a really good point. It's a pity that matpat probs won't see it. :(
When I moved into the third house of my life, I was scared of the stairs because they didn't have solid-ness on the back, making me think I would injure my foot or fall through. I was an idiot. I know that the stairs looked much longer, too.
@@scoutintime I used to have stairs like that, I used to have a toy of a guy with a functioning parachute and I dropped him off. One of my best childhood memories
bro why no repllies
@@scoutintime I used to, and still do to a certain extent, have a fear of that kind of stairs, because once when I was very young my foot somehow ended up between two stairs and I was trapped, my parents weren't there and my sister, who was supposed to be looking after me, was in her room listening to music with headphones. I was stuck there for what seemed like hours until my parents came back home, and got me out.
In Alpha 1 remember the car tire rolling out of the door? Wife dying in car crash? Reference to the past? There are definitely some ties here
Blizzrobe Yea that's some serious matter!
Blizzrobe but when he gets out of the room look at the way his hands move like if you just finished building something so the wife theory can be incorrect but you the player and the nieghbor can have some realation because maybe he was adopted? What do you think?
Big Nipples NO
YES!!!!! I WAS SO READY TO COMMENT THAT!!!! THANK YOU!!!
In a missing poster you can see a father, a mother and two kids.
Making the relation between the character being the Neighbour's son, the Neighbour is a dad who got extremely overprotective since his wife died in a car accident (showed in the basement door in the early alphas), and we (the character) are the older son, who left his house because of his dad getting crazy. And maybe who he is keeping in the basement is the younger son (or daughter), that the Neighbour is forcing him/her to stay, since he lost his son and wife.
There’s an app called “Hello neighbor: hide and seek”, it’s where you play from the sisters point of view, the neighbor had a family at one point, he had a wife, and 2 kids, a boy and a girl. I didn’t play most of it because 1) I got scared, and 2) You’d have to buy the whole game. But basically the character you’re playing as is the sister playing hide and seek with her brother. So maybe that has to do with something??
Right
Yes it is the entire back story to the neighbor
The neighbors wife was killed in a car crash and the brother accidentally pushed the the sister off a ledge very high up in the air your welcome
Yep
Anthony Velilla actually the brother purposefully pushed her off. Also I think this might be the story and if you don’t want some kinda spoilers then don’t read what I said.
My theory is that at the beginning before the game the neighbor had a family with two children and a wife. His wife died in a car crash. The neighbor got home and told his kids and the brother got angry and started being mean to his sister so the neighbor sent him to his room. He stole his sisters doll while he walked away and put the doll on the roof and when his sister got there he pushed her off killing her. I think the grave in the back is the grave for either the grave of the daughter or the neighbors wife. Well the boy turned into the shadow monster and so the neighbor locked him in the basement and he trapped other people to try to bring his wife back with the devils help like matpat said.

A lot of this specific theory is right and it’s surprising to see someone just guess this when the full game wasent even out yet,especially BC hello neighbor 2 alpha 1and 1.5 is out now.
Dominic Saldivar, one of the victims who is feared dead in Houston was a Game Theory fan. His picture on Nightly News had him wearing a Game Theory shirt.
John Rush who is dominic saldivar
A victim
Sona Amer he is a boy from Houston, who is missing with his family of 6, when his families van was submerged under all the rain water from Hurricane Harvey, when I saw his picture on the National News he had a Game Theory shirt on. The family of 6 including Dominic Saldivar is feared dead.
That us have a moment of silence for the young child and theorist that may have been lost in a tragic accident. And for everyone else we have lost during the storm
They just announced his death poor boy his brother and sister passed as well
I have a minor theory. What if the shadow figure isn't the devil himself, but the neighbor's wife who made the deal, resulting in her becoming what she is. This may explain why the neighbor has the book Faust, he is trying to find out if there is any sort of way to save her soul. When we first see him panicking and barricading the door, he is just trying to stop her from leaving. He is crying due to him not being able to help her so far. This theory also makes sense considering that Eve, Adam's wife, is the one to listen to the devil, biting the apple he offers, committing the first sin.
I think you’ll be happy to know that I watch your videos with the explicit intention of learning how to over complicate the story of the game I am helping develop.
The best way to wright a story.
I mean atleast a lot of people will talk about it. Maybe game theory will do an episode so GOODLUCK!

300th like :D amazing theory btw! Makes so much sense!
Matpat says: Four is evil!
Guido Mista: Yes!
I just so happen to have the switch version of Hello Neighbor, and it reveals a lot about the Neighbor... each of the alpha and beta builds turn into three different acts and a finale, witch i have not accessed yet. As the Neighbor catches you, you will occasionally have a Nightmare, were you get a cutscene of the Neighbor's past. These show the death of the wife in a car crash, the Neighbor struggling to deal with the player, the son pushing the daughter off the roof, and the daughter dying in her hospital bed, in that order. I have not seen the nightmares for act 3 or finale yet, but I will eventually...
Now that Mat has mentioned the idea of the neighbor being our father, I got my own theory:
In Alpha 2, when we enter the basement we can see two shadow figures that look like an adult with their child. We also here a female's voice say "RUN!" as the figures go away. What if the neighbor was an abusive father and your mother was trying to run away with you to protect you both? When we see the neighbor crying,maybe he was crying because he was reliving the past when he hurt his family. And like Mat said, the figure that gets left out and rejected could've been us. Maybe we were sad and rejected because we were getting abused by the neighbor,our father.
BUT HEY THAT'S JUST A THEORY!A G- okay I'm done.
BriannaWolf 8 a like just for the ending 😂😂
BriannaWolf 8 hahah nice theory 👍

BriannaWolf 8 nah your theory sucks
BriannaWolf 8 II
What I think is that the neighbor wants to be a god. After having 4 children he makes a deal with the devil to have a seed to grow the tree of Eden. The devil gives the neighbor a seed in exchange for 3/4 of his children. Desperate for the power, the neighbor makes this deal. But the surprising part is that you are his remaining child. This would explain why he pushes you away from him. He wants to hide the fact that he gave your brothers away. This also explains why he was crying. He's in grief that he gave his children away. And maybe, the shadow man is the three combined souls of the children. That would explain why the neighbor doesn't want that thing getting out of the basement. His basement could also be the portal to death itself, or like you said, a purgatory. This is only my theory and I think it's pretty good
Kaiser Neko this is a good, theory, only thing is that I think that rather the shadow person being the 3 combined souls, I'd think each fear room houses 1 of the children
Hardeep Chahal good theory. I guess you could say we make a pretty good team
Good one. I wish I had more to add, but I'd rather just express my approval.
On a missing sign there were 2 people so where's the third?
Kaiser Neko gOD DAMN THAT WAS A GOOD START
What if the"fallen child", the one who was always alone in the groups of four, is the Neighbor? What if he was disrespected and in solitude as a child, and losing his wife and having his kids move out from fear was the breaking point that made him want to sell his soul to the devil to get them all back, and be able to enjoy his childhood properly?
Mat: I think it’s the devil behind the neighbor.
Me: so I’m standing behind him according to my classmates?
So I'm russian. And the text at 11:30 not even close to "subway of the subconscious" I mean at all!
It says "ЛЕНЬМИЦА" - "ХОЛПАЯ МОКНАПИЯ" Which is just bunch of gibberish at first glance. But it's an anagram to "МЕЛЬНИЦА" - "ПЛОХАЯ КОМПАНИЯ" Which translates as "Mill" - "Bad Company" I presume that's name of the stations, given that there're arrows to the sides as well. Oh and 90% of russian in the game is either misspelled or an anagram.

There's a story in Greek Mythology about a golden apple too. The story goes something like this...
"Zeus held a banquet in celebration of the marriage of Peleus and Thetis (parents of Achilles). However, Eris, goddess of discord was not invited, for it was believed she would have made the party unpleasant for everyone. Angered by this snub, Eris arrived at the celebration with a golden apple from the Garden of the Hesperides, which she threw into the proceedings as a prize of beauty (In some later versions of the story its said there was an inscription on the apple translated from Greek to English as "To/for the fairest one")
Three goddesses attempted to claim the apple for themselves: Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. They asked Zeus to judge which of them was fairest, and eventually he, reluctant to face the anger of the other 2 Goddesses should he choose one of them, declared that Paris, a Trojan mortal, would judge their cases, for he had recently shown his exemplary fairness in a contest in which Ares in bull form had bested Paris's own prize bull, and the shepherd-prince had unhesitatingly awarded the prize to the god.
While Paris inspected them, each attempted with her powers to bribe him; Hera offered to make him king of Europe and Asia, Athena offered wisdom and skill in war, and Aphrodite, who had the Charites and the Horai to enhance her charms with flowers and songs, offered the world's most beautiful woman. This was Helen of Sparta, wife of the Greek king Menelaus. Paris accepted Aphrodite's gift and awarded the apple to her, receiving Helen as well as the enmity of the Greeks and especially of Hera."
To paraphrase the last bit this incident with the Golden apple of Discord led directly to the Trojan War. It oddly connects loosely to the Bible since Lucifer is said to be waging war on God and his ilk constantly. I also find it interesting that there are 4 [main] characters in this story, Paris, Hera, Athena and Aphrodite and that there's a difference made between them (that being 3 of them are immortal Goddesses and one is not immortal or a god)
Has matpat noticed the neighbour's mug in the "devil shadow figure" promotional image? It's a horned being...
3 children stay, one falls. Three angels stay, one falls. Three mannequin have fun, one is sad. Three eggs normal, one cracked, but has a golden apple. I personally believe that whatever the mannequins are symbolising is the devil himself, but I'm not smart enough to tie it all together.
I'm no theorist but, here's one you should do mat, the game slime rancher, I can't help but feel weirded out by reading the notes H left behind, about this girl Beatrix, and we never got to know the origins of him, also in the ancient ruins note, it said something about "I left this for you Beatrix" could you be Beatrix? I mean you are a girl in the game, and also why is there no one else on the planet? Why is it just you? Maybe H left it all there for you, but where is H? What happened to him? As I said I'm no theorist, but I think matt can solve this one, let him see this comment pls
It says in the very beginning of the new release that you are in fact Beatrix, so thats one mystery solved^^
like what angry waffle ninja said, the new release says that you are beatrix but those messages are still creepy as all hell!!! like they're talking about this guy wanting to end it all and stuff about this person he loved but i assume something went wrong?? i really wanna know his story and if there's any more connection between him and your character

Hello Neighbor explained: The Neighbor and his wife got in a car crash. The Neighbor’s son Aaron went ballistic and pushed the neighbor’s daughter Mya off the roof. The Neighbor went insane and locked Aaron in the basement which is why you hear screams. The son eventually becomes the shadow which is a child for the Neighbor. The Neighbor and player have their own shadow. The neighbors is a kid and the players is a adult. At the end of act finale the player conquers his fear of the shadow but the Neighbor never does. Also the fear rooms are from us not the neighbor.
That is what I was thinking. I thought that the neighbor' s son died in the basement and the shadow was his angry spirit.
The russian words are messed up a lot intentionally. There is definitely something behind it. Every word has 4+ mistakes in it so those words are barely understandable even for russians. Couldn't be done by an accident.
Вячеслав Сергеевич since your name is Russian, Im going to believe you
They are understandable. All text made of anagrams... But yes) It is a bit hard)
Those words are just anagrams - most of the times they just swap the consonants around the vowel, so they are still readable (at least to me idk). It as if instead of ballroom they'd write rabmooll or barlloom. But for sure, that wasn't done by accident, it may actually imply that The Neighbour/Our Hero (since we see everything through his eyes) is dyslexic.
P.S At around 11:30 of the video MatPat says the viewer helped him decode the Metro text and it said Subway of the Subconscious while the Russian text actually says Леньмица (Мельница) - The Mill and Холпая Мокнапия (Плохая Компания) - Bad Company. So as long as I'm not missing anything, the translation given to MatPat was wrong.
Вячеслав Сергеевич it might be just another reference to childhood, since such mistakes (misplacing letters/syllables) are usually made by very young children. At least I haven't seen a grown up writing леньмица instead of мельница :D
There's a condition called dyslexia - it's when a person's brain can't properly analyze the words so they see those words with some misplaced letters, that's literally the way we see them in the game.
If we assume that the city the game is not a simulation or smth, if it's kinda an ordinary Russian city, it would be weird if the sign on the hospital was written all mixed up and no one in the city noticed that.
I think that the person we are playing as is dyslexic, and since we see everything through his eyes, it would make sense for us to also see the words the way he would see them, that's why they look so weird.
No child in the world would make mistakes in literally every word ever to the point where when you read it outloud it sounds nothing like an original word. Like, if a young child was asked to write a word подсознание they would probably try to write it the way they hear it, something like падсазнанее, but they wouldn't write it like сопнодзание - the way we see that word in the game.
Matpat!
My theory is that the shadow person is either the neighbors (or your) father or mother. The fear room where you are in the grocery store is a metaphor of your parents forgetting you're there, and leaving you behind when you're not looking. The school fear room is kinda like a bully situation where the parents don't do anything to help their child. Of course, the pantry fear room is obvious, the parent(s) locked you in the pantry for being naughty or not listening to them. And the basement, well, that's just the kid trying to hide from the obviously horrible parents.
The shadow person (aka his parent ) is a person that he wants to leave behind, but he can't. His horrible past. Making the deal with the devil is to show he needs help to overcome his past, but it keeps stalking him. Never letting go, because the scars and neglect of his childhood run deep.
To sum it up, I think this game is about a broken man, with a broken childhood.
I don't care if I'm wrong or right, I just feel like this is a part of it. It's my theory, deal with it, and feel free to correct me!
( edit ) Thanks for all the likes and comments! I really appreciate it!
CuteSepticGirl Martha cool
CuteSepticGirl Martha that's actually really good!!!
CuteSepticGirl Martha I was thinking of something similar xD great minds think alike
I think the shadow person is his sister, like he said there is a lot of imagery of four that makes a mother a father a brother… And a sister. Also there is a missing poster on one of the houses of a boy and a girl. I'm guessing that she was the favorite child with him being left in the background neglected then there was a car crash and she died everyone was distraught and the neighbor tried to get her back but all that was left was a shadow, a shadow girl
Edit- The mom also possibly died in the car crash, you probably had dreams of running away with the circus and maybe possibly did but the neighbor or his presence follows you and that's why we see clown imagery in earlier installments. Also I think that it's a pizza truck that hit them in the crash, in the lake in the game there is a crashed pizza truck
CuteSepticGirl Martha I like that theory
10:19 prob cuz the neighbour’s son was friends with the player, but as we know in “hide and seek” she was yeeted deleted off the roof
I love watching the old game theories just to see how wrong he matpat was
When matpat said "Watching you suffer." My iPad went to 10 percent... I think I'm suffering
Tr37 M you are just low battery your not suffer and even when your suffering its not true
Tr37 M omg mine too it was a 80% and is now on 38% the F
Tr37 M LOL 😂 😀
What if you, the player, made a deal with the devil?
The neigbour is your father or brother, who tries to imprison the devil, and keep you safe from it, that's why you never get hurt when he finds you but he jsut throws you out.
Or maybe the devil took the form of the neighbour (your brother father friend whatever) and keeps what you payed to him in the house.
Or he simply employed the neigbour, who is unrelated to you, the player, to keep you from whatever you had to pay to the devil for the deal you made.
I like your first theory, that's certainly an interesting take on it, but what about the fear rooms?
top one the first comment
they can still be the same. They can be about experiances the neighbour went through.
Or they can be fears that you, the player, went through in the past. Or something both of you went through and thus be the things that link you if it's not family.
Everything can still be the same as Matt sais it, it would all still fit, even if the one who made the deal is you.
The conclusion will just be different.

just need 600 more now XD
11:30 at the left side "windmill", at the right "bad fellowship". Both with mixed letters
Theorists: we’ve worked so hard for this theory
The Hello Neighbor app: *hahahahahaha 😂*
8:50 There is also the Golden Apple from Greek mythology. It's also known as the Apple of Discord.
There is a Apple of Skype too?
Golden apples are in all kinds of mythology, but the game has tons of other biblical references so it's probably the Christian one
What about the Apple of Mumble? And the Apple of Teamspeak?
Gregory Ewart there is only reference to fruit from the tree of knowledge. It never says apple. Let alone golden. Pop culture as well as possibly old Christian imagery try to say it was the apple but no translation of any biblical text claim this at all. So the Greek angle is much more solid.
Well, the Greek golden apple was said to grant immortality so.....
*HELL* o Neighbor
You sound like a Polish Priest.
DammitSinged lol
It all makes sense now...
DammitSinged it's confirmed now isn't it XD
HELL NO NEIGHBOR
My theory is that the neighbours wife daughter and son died so he sold his soul to Satan (who always comforted him when he was sad as a kid) to bring his family back but his kids and wife are obviously traumatised and have gone mad because they know what it’s like to die and since they’re so crazy he locks them in the basement so the can’t hurt anyone.
Just a head canon though
R.I.P. This theory
2017 - 2017
Alright I'll give this a shot, why not? *WARNING: ITS LONG AND DARK*
The neighbor, who I'll call Greg because....Greg, is the youngest of four children to workaholic parents. They're hardly around, and with his three other siblings he gets even less attention. His birthday is not different, and that's what hits him the hardest, so he recreated his own ideal party in his house.
For the phonogram, he was at his grandparent's with his siblings because his parents went in a vacation without them. He gets so frustrated that he breaks her phonogram, and in doing so cuts his right ring finger (which leads to a permanent scar). It was good to finally get his anger out, so whenever he was upset he's destroy something. It went downhill further and further until an accident, I'm not sure what but it probably involved his wife/family, happened. He makes a deal with a devil to forget all of it, and live a happy life. The devil gives him a big house with a roller coaster, a pool, all the things he didn't have as a child. For the first time in his life, Greg is genuinely happy.
Except the devil, being the devil, has played him. He makes room designed just to make the man remember his nightmares (fear rooms) and the man goes insane. He does not see another soul for a long time. Then, someone moves in across the street. It's a woman. The neighbor doesn't think much of it, until he catches her in his house. He snaps.
He takes her and keeps her in his basement, even if it's just to be able to see another human being. Neighbor after neighbor moves in, and neighbor after neighbor goes missing (screams from the basement). He locks them in because they're his only source of human contact, and he doesn't want them to leave.
The shadowy figure is probably just the devil keeping the neighbor in check.
Wow that was really long, sorry lol. Congrats to you if you read all the way down here
Jinx Lynx good luck getting likes
Jinx Lynx that makes sense, but something seems missing but idk what it is
Saul Rodriguez Not sure if that's sarcastic, but thanks!
Jinx Lynx surprisingly well thought out nice job.
Wow, this is actually a really good theory
My Theory:
Neighbor is a doctor. He was very happy in life and had 2 children (one of them is the player) and got married.
However, one day, while Neighbor was driving with his wife, they got into a car crash and the wife died.
Neighbor was heartbroken; he was desperate. He wanted his wife back.
And so, he went to the devil. He made a deal with the devil; Satan would give him the knowledge to revive his wife, and neighbor would commit terrible acts.
But Neighbor isn't evil. He doesn't want to do these things, but he feels that he has to.
Neighbor is swallowed in his work, and his children move out.
Eventually, the player decides to move back next to his father, where he can try to help him with whatever he's doing.
However, when Neighbor figures this out, he knows that his son would hate him if he knew what he was doing.
So Neighbor creates many defense mechanisms to keep his son from discovering the horrors within his home.
Wow nice theory. I have a plot twist. The woman that screamed, was actually the wife. That got revived. The kids who scream, is the other kids. Idk, just felt i would share my opinion after reading this.
Has anyone played hello neighbor hide and seek?
Its explains everything that happened its literally the origin of the neighbor
Damn
This makes sense actually but a version of hello neighbor totally forgot what version, but the player! Is trying to move to a house which the player is familiar with but is all borded up yet later when the player enters the player was moved to the front house of the neighbor
9:10
*Is the yellow bull on the neighbor's cup a symbol too? To me it would make sense since the devil is sometimes described as a man with horns. (Sometimes he is a man with a demon tail and wings. Or just wings, just a demon tail, or just horns. Or everything.)*
Ah. So that’s why kids when they turn 4 are called little devils.
Sees video: Hello Neighbour!
Sees satanic imagery: Goodbye Neighbour!

“I took the remnants of the theory”
Scott Cawthon: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN
Mat pat is the best problem solver ever guys do u agree right
When the neighbour hears you near him he reacts with a scared: "huhm", maybe he thinks whatever was locked up had escaped.
What if you are the thing that escape? Thats why he always wants to catch you
Pikachu 562 well, you live across the street
Pikachu 562 then he would head over to your house and get you.
maybe that's because you are breaking into someone else's house
"O sh*t"
"My pet human escaped"
my theory: neighbor hides not a shadow boy, but the evil variation of himself in the basement.
1) at the beginning, we hear a terrifying scream, coming from the basement and we see the neighbor running away from it. at the end, we see the giant neighbor screaming exactly the same way.
2) the neighbor that is outside the basement does not hurt us, he just tries to keep us outside the house.
3) when we go to the basement, the neighbor is already there, even though we left him outside.
Edit: thanks for all the likes everyone. I thought it would lost in the comments (I even liked my comment after 10 minutes of waiting)
Actually there is a hidden posters that shows 2 kids missing, when you wake up and hear the screaming its one of the kids, the kid kicks the neighbor or something, tries to run but the neighbor locks him into the basement.
dont hate me im only 8 but... im muslim. please dont hate me! im too young!
Samina Samantha I can't hate on someone who likes reaction time!
+Samina Samantha i don't hate you why would anyone hate you?
+Samina Samantha ohhhh now I see bur it's ok I don't hate you
10:18 In the beginning your character was supposed to be the Neighbors son but they later changed the story to where your character is just the Neighbors neighbor
11:01 We see a golden apple everywhere and them showing us a building with the name might mean something but what event happened around or at this place
7:21 thx for shout out
"I never knew *Satan* "
Satan: *sobbing* NOBODY UNDERSTANDS ME! *more sobbing*
Poor Satan. He's just misjudged...
*cough*........daddy issues...*cough*
Wow guys careful about the jokes you make, his fate is sealed. (Smirks)
Pieter du Toit xD
AriesTale me and Satan are alike in a way, we're both emo.
Following the over protective father theory, the old basement had the word "exit" written above, so also assuming you are not in reality and possibly in some form of purgatory, maybe your father (the neighbour) made a deal with the devil to keep you safe in purgatory so you don't meet the same fate that your mother (the neighbours wife) did and die in an accident (which I assume was a car crash)
EDIT: just read another older comment with the exact same theory, glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks this is possible
The 'fear rooms' could act as reminders of times when you were in fear and barely got out, making you want to stay in purgatory in fear they could happen again. It also makes sense since the neighbour doesn't hurt You, he just tries to keep you home. And uses glue to make you STICK around ;)
sTØP the stupid fangirl usernames at the discØ! (Here is my theory)Ok so if you are the neighbors son then him keeping whats in the basment from you is his protecting you. Ok now then The three locations could have their own story you're working at a light house you get injured he goes to the church to pray for you when that doesn't work you die in thw hospital then feeling regret and sadness he makes the deal with the devil who brings you back and the golden apple could represent the sacrifice god made for adam and eve when they first sinned he had to kill a lamb and make clothes for them later jesus had to die on the cross making the final sacrifice so the neighbor could have done the same giving his soul to save yours and watching over you in the past life
Reminds me of a movie I watched (“Errementari”) roughly it’s about a blacksmith that has been avoiding death by keeping a demon locked in a cage inside his house and the demon gets to escape because he takes the form of a kid and a little girl helps him
I get happy when adds apear for some reason I think it is because he puts so much effort and me watching a 5 second ad helps him make more videos 👍
This is my theory:
1. The neighbor is your father. He just cant remeber you because he thinks you are dead when you are still a child because......
2. Your mom died in a car crash with you but you are saved and the evidence for that is the bacement in alpha 1 with a mannequin holding a baby with a crib.
3. So the neighbor (your father) had a deal with the devil (shadow)
So that you and your mom will come alive. (Again he doesnt know that you are alive)
4. He conducted demonic rituals and kidnapped children. In basement alpha 1 the position of candles form a star and the screams behind that door.
5. The golden apple symbolizes the agreement of the neighbor (your father) and the devil. And all other signs symbolizes the devil.
The painting. The golden cow on the mug. The sign near the gramaphone. All other signs in the movie are all about the devil to remind the agreement of the neighbor (your father) and the devil.
But hey thats just a theory....
My crazzy theory and cut
Edit: Thank you for the likes and comments
Marc Johann A. Laguna this should get pinned
You meam the basement in alpha 2 right?
I dont think they died i think they dissapeared. It would explain why there are missing posters. I think the Neighbor was doing satanic rituals and the mother and the player ran away. But the Neighbor thinks they were murderd by the devil. So he tries a deal with the devil and tries summoning them. But they arent dead so it doesent work. He still believes you were dead and the deal just didnt work and when he see us he thinks we arent real and we are Fake. Later in the Game he finds out that we are real and helps us defeat the devil (the shadow / the thing) which would explain the shhhhhhh... scene from the trailer
But heyy...
thats just a theory...
A gAAAAme theory...
Thanks for reading...
Marc Johann A. Laguna what!? I was just thinking that!
Carlos Grbic you theory is super awsome
There's a lesson to be learned from this...
Don't deal with the devil.

MatPat, you're amazing, I love your work, and love your theories. But I don't think I'll ever forgive you for doing that to Hello Dolly!
The neighbor is suffering depression when his family died the first is his wife then his daughter and he is a single dad with his son and all the last ones of the fourth is the neighbor depression and he was happy before the family died
@juan perez
This was made before the finished game and new storyline was made
Hi Matt, thanks for the great video!
By the way, about those Russian writings. You probably didn't noticed, since it's not your language, but pretty much all of them were... strange. Like they meant nothing, unless you change the letters around. Almost all consonants were reversed like this: hospital -- sohtipal(госпиталь -- согтипаль) or Happy birthday -- PPahy thibday(С днем рождения -- С ндем жордения) and so on...
I'm not sure what to make of it. Maybe those are hint's that there is something wrong with every location where there are those letters. Like, something corrupted, reversed them or something like that. Also, about those railway writings. It's the same thing. Леньмица and холпая мокнапия mean absolutely nothing... unless you change the consonants. Suddenly the become: Мельница and плохая компания -- Windmill and bad company. Hell if I know what the developers meant. Maybe something about the the Neighbour’s past?
So, about the subway of subconscious... it's not there. At least not in this picture. After all, Lena could simply translate the writing from a previous build, or interpret it in her own way. I don't really have an answer, and we probably won't receive one until the game is released. Just wanted to give you some possible puzzle pieces. I hope, they'll help you at least a little :)
Anyway, again thank you for an interesting and entertaining video. Good luck in December!
P.s After some research I found the subway of subconscious. Sorry, for the doubts Lena! But they had the same thing: not the "Метрополитен подсознания" but "Термолетипен сопнодзания".
Second that, no subway of subconscious in this game
let's bring this to the to, MatPat has to see this
It's common thing for dreams. You cant read inside a dream because your mind wont be able to focus on words making them look like you have dyslexia. Proves the point about purgatory or maybe coma
Дмитрий Курушин I posted the same thing! I'm glad you noticed :)
You know, that actually makes sense, especially given everything else that's in the game. MatPat should really take this into consideration for his next theory. Thanks)
The golden apple is also in Greek mythology. It is refered to as the Apple of chaos and is created by Eris, the Goddess of Chaos, and it starts a HUGE war.
Also, u should probably see Bijuu Mike's theory on this. It's very interesting, actually. Kinda blew my mind a little.
Rory Mercury at the first theory I tweeted to MatPat about people stealing wives and golden apples being so similar to Troy's war (sorry if that's the wrong name- I'm italian)
thats false. the golden apple was created by nemesis. long story short: it started the trojan war
no one but me Nemesis is another name for Eris or a daughter of her if I'm correct
It could also be a reference to the apples of hesperides that were featured in the eleventh labour of Heracles.
Hey Matpat, this will probably be buried in the comments section, but in the new FNAF Security Breach trailer, in the storage facility, there is a literal shadow of Vanny coming down a brightly lit hallway. I love your work, and I would like to tell you to keep up the good work!
@I am stupid hi
Can I have those golden apples I really need them for minecraft I'm about to die😊
Wait a minute.
The ring finger, the woman and two children (coughing child and baby) locked in the basement, the car crash... what if the Neighbour's wife and kids died in a car crash and the deal he made with the Devil was to get them back somehow? I'm thinking he maybe kidnapped a family that resembled them -- a young woman with two kids -- and plans to use their bodies as vessels for the souls of his own lost family. Certainly that would explain the sobbing, as well as the symbolism of having a bandage on his ring finger. They were ripped away from him, leaving a "wound", so to speak.
Just my little amateur theory.
EDIT: I should probably read the comments before I start typing -- I've seen almost this exact theory before, also the game is out now so like... it's almost certainly wrong. BUT WHATEVER I LIKE TO PRETEND
@Mechanical savage REPLAY INTO REPLAY
Yes hello??
Alex Summers actually, the books (there are currently 2) suggest that you are pretty close to the truth. I’ve only read the first, but it has a lot of useful information. The wife dies in a car wreck, and the neighbor’s daughter runs away. This leads the neighbor to believe his son is a “BAD OMEN”.
Watching news live in Houston but evacuated just saw a presumed dead family and one of them was wearing a game theory shirt just decided to comment it
Link?
vampevanescencefan12. ?
NightCrawler 32 oh no.....:((((
they're covered it at the beginning of the stream that's happening right now
NightCrawler 32 dominic something. He and his family of six are dead, when the family van was submerged.
May I also point out that in the Hello Neighbor logo the “o” is different and there is not space between the two words so it would technically be read as “HelloNeighbor” but if you got rid of the “o” or counted it as a space it would say “Hell Neighbor”. Idk if this is relevant but just thought it was worth pointing out 🤷🏼.
Ok but that intro- is amazing! Reminded me of my favorite movie lol
What if the shadow is the Neighbor's wife? When he struck the deal with the devil to bring her back to life after the car crash, her body was too mangled to retain anything that looked human. So, in turning her into a monster and possibly being responsible for her death, now she's hunting him. I'm just going to assume as such a taboo thing as summoning the devil is, the Neighbor had to do it in the basement, where he placed his beloved upon a 5 star circle(5 stars - XXreviewerXX) and struck the deal. However, the above mentioned body mangling and the psychological scarring of waking up a bloody reanimated corpse drove her up the proverbial wall. Thus, the Neighbor has to keep her locked down there, eyes on her at all times, Not just for his safety, but the safety of anyone see meets if she gets out. Hence him crying in a corner slowly realizing, once someone is gone, no matter what you do, they're never coming back. And if they are they're still going to be a blood thirsty zombie ghost thing. BUT THAT'S JUST A THEORY, A BAD THEORY. ps, blood is usually censored to the color black hence the black appearance instead of red.
Destrucanator Wow, reminds me of Fullmetal Alchemist in a way. Good theory!
Elijah I LOVE THAT MANGA SERIES!!!!
Destrucanator i thimk ur one to something
Destrucanator I don't think it's a bad theory. I think you're on to something!
That is almost better than the video... if not better. LOL! But seriously, I love it, you should start your own channel :-D
I think the golden apple has someone to do with the apple of discord. Ya know the apple that caused the Trojan war. Well maybe the golden apple is supposed to represent whenever something bad happens in his or your life. The golden apples appear in fear rooms and lead you to a moment of sadness. Idk the Iliad said something that the apple made people sad and jealous
Audrey Flavin Neighbor is hiding Eris?
That'd be more believable than the fruit of knowledge of good and evil.
The Trojan War was caused by Helen of Sparta being abducted and taken to Troy.
PsychoSound But Paris had to decide the most beautiful Goddess with the apple. Aphrodite bribed him with the love of the most beautiful woman. Helen. So in a way the apple which even Goddesses yearned started he Trojan War.
Audrey Flavin or its meant to be the Appel of Eden
You really deserve at least 50 million subs.
when the camra pans to the shadowos and you see yourself piging out on papato chisps
I wonder if TinyBuild watches these videos and is like "Crap, he knows. We need a new beta now, guys."
Dear matpat,
There is a verse in the Bible about golden apples and a bowl of silver. I don't know where it was but I thought it was worth mentioning.
Yours truly,
Internet
internet Thanks, Internet!
Maybe you fight the neighbor at some point with a silver bow.
internet Proverbs 25:11? That mentions golden apples and such but I don't see a connection
Watch the vid.
"Timely advice is lovely, like golden apples in a silver basket."
Proverbs 25:11
I don't think there's any connection between this and the game though.
Neighbor: *looks under his shoe*
Also the neighbor: whoops! Forgot to take off the price tag!
Sad Fact: the neighbor used to have a happy normal family, but one day his family died due to a car accident and hes the only one who survived. Which caused him to be "crazy" . So the neighber wasn't always bad. I think he just needs someone, someone who understands him.

Donutz he is.
Heheheheh.
8:30 the reason why it’s everywhere is because the neighbor worked at the golden apple amusement park, where one of his rides failed and causes the player and the neighbor trauma
