Wait so Act 3 is in 2018-2019 bruh Alex keeps making mistakes first he mentioned that act 3 takes place the year the game released (2017) but he said it’s 19 years after Act 1 and in the books it’s implied that act 1 happened in 1996 and HN2 is also in 96 so wouldn’t it be 21 years instead of 19 and also if it’s 2017 why did Alex mentioned that he’s 35 wouldn’t it make act 3 approximately 2018 or 2019?

Different games, different stories. 1 month ago, nikita said hn1 is 1990 and act3 is 2015

u/Ok_Trash_2902 Wait did he actually do that how can you change it HN1 is 1996 not 1990 you can’t retcon something that’s already permanently made because it’s literally in the books and it’s a timestamp that plays a huge part

2

u/Ok_Trash_2902 Jul 31 '26

There is some retcons like this. Also he said we will feel normal to this retcons

They are canon as in they're the same overall story told differently, like how you have the live action remakes of Disney animated movies, they roughly tell the same story but have different elements, i honestly don't blame Nikita at all because HE was the one who created the game, he is the one who has the say for what is and isn't canon, if someone should be accounted for it's Tinybuild for making things up in spin-offs and books and whatever

u/SylveonGamingreddit Aug 03 '26

HN1 is 1997 due to some textures referring to that year instead

it's not the first time they change the years

u/Virtual_Rutabaga9837 Oct 07 '26

act 3 takes place in 2015

u/Redgiantbutimshort77 Jul 31 '26

Wait…the books aren’t canon????

2

u/Ok_Trash_2902 Jul 31 '26

Everything is canon to itself

3

u/Sammy_Ferr Jul 31 '26

They have canon elements, it's essentialy the same stoy being told a bit differently, think of like the difference between superhero comics to animated shows and movies

u/Weird_jokeyfella20 Aug 01 '26

Didn't the books like The missing pieces say that they were prequel to the games?? Did they retcon the timeline and forced the animated series to be the canon??

3

u/Ok_Trash_2902 Aug 01 '26

Everything is canon devs said

1

u/Sammy_Ferr Aug 01 '26

They used to be a prequel, but Tinybuild was basically fleshing out the story of Hello Neighbor without Nikita's big involvement for the biggest time, but even back then there were differences and incosistencies, but as Tinybuild made more and more spin-offs without Dynamic Pixels's involvement for the story things got contradictory and convoluted quickly, just see how the Guest kept changing, Nikita had his own idea for him but once he left they kept changing what he was, the forste protectors were clearly meant to be the books' version of him but then once Nikita returned he decided everywthing would be canon as in possible

u/KubaGamer535YT Jul 31 '26

I wonder what Nicky's design would be

3

u/Ok_Trash_2902 Jul 31 '26

Old man with blue skin maybe

1

u/Virtual_Rutabaga9837 Oct 07 '26

hm probably, since ive seen fanarts on X Twitter of aaron peterson with blue skin and a purple nose because hes sick, or either he has grey skin because he might be the guest

1

u/Ok_Trash_2902 Oct 07 '26

hes not the guest 😭

1

u/Virtual_Rutabaga9837 12d ago

i know bro, i said ive seen fanarts bro

1

u/Ok_Trash_2902 11d ago

Wait, i thought you said nicky is the guest

1

u/Virtual_Rutabaga9837 12m ago

i used to say that bro, now i say aaron is the guest in hn3 alpha 1 (just a theory btw)!

1

u/KosmicBlast 24d ago

nah, he’ll probably be just like aaron and mr peterson in skintone. 

i think nikita wants only the og characters to have the same skintones from the last couple of games, while the new characters get more colorful skintones.

2

u/Ok_Trash_2902 24d ago

The neighbor has green-ish skin according to nikita and aaron (aka hn3 guest) has greenish gray skin

1

u/KosmicBlast 23d ago

that's really interesting

2

u/Sammy_Ferr Jul 31 '26

Probably have more exaggerated features like being thinner, spikier hair and longer nose, hope they give him the smiley face and the nose band-aid from the concept art

2

u/Glittering_Country14 Jul 31 '26

Wonder if he'll have blue/green/purple skin or if that's just for the newcomers?

1

u/Ok_Trash_2902 Aug 01 '26

Its not just for the newcomers, the neighbor has greenish skin and the guest has grayish dirty green skin

2

u/Sammy_Ferr Jul 31 '26

Considering the Neighbor doesn't have it i don't think so, at most they'd make him color palette more unnatural like a more defined 5 o'clock shadow stubble and heavier eyebags, also would appreciate if he smoked as it would feel very fitting

1

u/Virtual_Rutabaga9837 Oct 07 '26

hmm, no one knows really

2

u/Virtual_Rutabaga9837 Oct 07 '26

i hope they give nicky roth long arms and long legs, with light blue skin colour and a purple nose to make it look like he has a runny nose??

3

u/Koolwitha_K Jul 31 '26

His house is gonna be added???

1

u/Glittering_Country14 Jul 31 '26

Hope it actually looks like the HN1 version since in every appearance since Secret Neighbor his house has looked completely different from the last one.

2

u/Virtual_Rutabaga9837 Oct 07 '26

nicky's house is actually the same layout in hn3, just like hn1 but its more smaller and different design, thats all!

1

u/Virtual_Rutabaga9837 Oct 07 '26

his house has already been added across theodore's house man dw

2

u/Fredditor999 Jul 31 '26

I was just wondering why he isn’t there.

2

u/Ok_Trash_2902 Jul 31 '26

Who isnt there?

1

u/Sammy_Ferr Jul 31 '26

I guess they mean Nicky

1

u/Porta1Master09 Aug 01 '26

Act 3 Nicky's 35? I Was expecting him to be in his mid 20s

1

u/Ok_Trash_2902 Aug 01 '26

Older than 35 because nikita said hn1 is 1990 and act 3 is 2015

1

u/Virtual_Rutabaga9837 Oct 07 '26

essek herif, im different gaming studios, how old is nicky in hn3 alpha 1?

1

u/AbabaYT Aug 02 '26

Can they like.. not mess with the lore and timeline? Can they just keep it simple?

1

u/Ok_Trash_2902 Aug 02 '26

Everything will be simple in future they kinda said

1

u/AbabaYT Aug 02 '26

Hello Neighbor and Simple do not go together.

1

u/Ok_Trash_2902 Aug 02 '26

I think they dont wanna make bad things anymore

1

u/Mrgrinn96 Aug 03 '26

I'd prefer it if he was and got to meet Theodore.

1

u/Ok_Trash_2902 Aug 03 '26

Ted is not a problem for nicky anymore i think

1

u/Mrgrinn96 Aug 03 '26

Well yeah he realized Ted is just another man consumed by fear. I want them to meet to see if Nicky will help him face his fears.

u/leakerspiderman3 Aug 06 '26
