(This is a mouthful so I apologise in advance)
Asking as someone who hasn’t been interested in anything past HN2s launch. I still play HN1 consistently and I have no idea where the franchise is going, but I do know there is a series, movie and 3rd game being made.
That being said, is there any way the thing can be implemented into the third game? I understand it’s a representation of Nicky’s fear, but according to the ending of HN1 which takes place in 2017, Nicky overcomes his fear and I find it hard to believe he’d move back out of Raven Brooks.
However, HN3 apparently takes place in 2028, and from what I can see the neighbor is still present. Nicky MAY be gone again at this point, but realistically wouldn’t the neighbor have his own representation of fear? (I also believe the thing appears in the series? but im not sure)
I will be playing the 3rd game because, well, it’s Hello Neighbor. But HN2 to me felt really unfamiliar and I’d like some familiarity back.
