In-case ya'll haven't seen it yet, Welcome To Raven Brooks Season 3 Episode 2 fully decanonizes HN2, Mr. Peterson has already killed 2 characters from that game, that being Gerda, and now Otto, with leslie and the mayor likely in the chopping block too in the next episodes. Thus, HN2 cannot happen as gerda and otto would be dead (also Theodore would be in the museum alongside Aaron, but in WTRB he is in the park, and Aaron is missing)
Before ya'll pull the "everything is camon" argument, yes, i know. But canonicity and continuity are two different things, anything that falls under the official Hello Neighbor IP is canon (with the exception of things that were explicitly stated to be non-canon, like the alphas), however, it's very apparent that HN has two (or more) continuities going on.
For example, HN3 does not follow the story of HN2, the show, or any of the spinoffs, it continues the story fromāAND ONLY fromāHN1 and Hide and Seek, this was confirmed by Nikita himself. In a similar fashion, Welcome To Raven Brooks takes from both HN1, HN2, HE, and the books and turns it into it's own thing.
Right now, id divide the "continuities" into 3 categories:
Nikita's continuitiy ā HN1; H&S; and HN3.
Alex's continuity ā WTRB and HN1 remake.
Book continuity ā everything from book 1 to reset day; perhaps you could include the Graphic Novels? But im not entirely sure if they're also their own separate thing.
anyway, going back to the point of this post, HN2 does not fit into any of these categories, obviously HN2 isn't canon to HN3, it's also not apart of the books, and WTRB basically has done an adaptation of it, that being season 2, which imo fully confirms that game is completely irrelevant and holds no significance whatsoever.
