Yikes! 29:24 I forgot to add the extra audio involving this scene. So no 'Agrabah' is not canon. I will be editing this comment with the revised and correct version of the scene that will be uploaded to the Lore Scenes playlist here on the channel. Sorry about that, slipped under the rug.


Update 2: There has been a misconception in the comments about what version I played the game on, at 8:22 I mention how the first time I played the game it was on the Xbox version, which is true. However, that was at a friend's house and that same day I went home and bought the PC version to play and review. So the gameplay and review you are seeing is based on my experience with the PC build, which is the "definitive" version according to many. My opinion still stands, though I admit the wording was poor and I will try to avoid these types of situations going forward.

God what happened to this game? Last I checked you would move into your new house, see the neighbor acting suspicious across the street, and try to stealth your way into his basement to see whats going down. In the end you see too much and the neighbor buries you alive.

It was a short, simple, and effective. It played well and didn't warrant any more chapters.

"The final act is finding your way onto the giant neighbor's back which has a house on it."
Remember when this game was about trespassing?

[Mae_is_gae]

I honestly cannot believe that tiny build literally published pathologic 2 yet they still use hello neighbour as their primary horror branding

[ninjafrog]

The funniest part of this game is the fact the neighbor can’t even access like 80% of his own home

[macman]

Remember that robo-shark? Remember that teaser for the old basement that showed that it was going to be huge? Remember that great atmosphere because of the amazing lighting? Yea, me too.

[jadeparelius]

i remember when this game was being theorized to be about satan and bible and woman in basement. now it's just...a fever dream with broken controls?

[waldornprime]

It’s like an argument in a foreign language. You have no idea what’s happening, but it’s getting worse.

[Kurakatar]

The first person who solved the water puzzle deserves a round of applause

[joeydahobo]

The problem with the game was that everything that made it unique in the alpha was completly scraped and changes to focus more on the basement, you were supposed to be spending the entire game trying to get in the basement not the other way around

[hamiltonb.urglar]

The only reason it’s “horror” is because there’s a loud scary noise when the neighbor gets you

[janglenapper]

in the alphas he was so damn smart but idk what drugs they were on to ruin him in the final release

[pixelatedtree]

i think their biggest issue was trying to make it a franchise. they shouldve focused more on hello neighbor and work out the bugs before moving on to a sequel and 3 other games

[Idkidkidkidkidkidkidkdude]

Their biggest mistake they made for this was pandering to the youtubers that didn’t care about nor knew how to play the game correctly. The first house was perfect, then it turned into some whacky goosebumps mansion. I could’ve sworn the story was about how the neighbor worshipped satan at first, now he’s just a crazy guy with an amusement park.

[Pengd]

The thing is, the neighbor actually used to be a fairly interesting and hella creepy character back in the earlier versions, precisely because he lacked any semblance of emotion. Seeing that terrifying dude run at you with an emotionless face actually added a lot to the creepy factor. Giving him all of those cartoony expressions and letting the player hit him with stuff made him seem like a senile and harmless old man who for some reason still poses a threat.

[dweebicusmaximus]

The fact that they charged $30 for a game where the main antagonist can’t get into portions of his own house

[mfdoom]

I like how they slowly kept ruining their own game

[LR_Jenkins]

Hello neighbor alpha 1/2 was the game's peak, and honest quite great. At this point the AI actually functioned as intended, and it was much more puzzle+stealth based than the platformey final release.

[Brandon-jfcv]

The neighbor used to be smart they made him dumber to make the house bigger

[nomarukaz]

The alpha makes you genuinely scared to enter every single room not knowing where the neighbour is while in the final game makes the neighbour just feel like annoying badly written entity
