He then wrote a letter (from Love) to the community in Madre Linda, admitting to the crimes and taking responsibility for coercing Joe into taking part. In true You fashion, Joe cleans up the scene and ties everything back to Love - Natalie's murder, as well as Love killing and framing their other neighbor, Gil for it.įirst, he made a meat pie with his own severed toes in it to fake his own death and frame Love for it. Joe pretends to be paralyzed by the poison until he gets up and injects Love to her death with a syringe filled with poison. However, that doesn't go as planned as Love finds out that Joe is involved with Marienne and plots to poison him (in case you missed it, that's how Love ended her first marriage). She agrees to run away with him to start a new life with Henry and her daughter, Juliette. He juggles his marriage with Love while trying to pursue Marienne, eventually convincing her that he's on the verge of leaving Love. It happens to be his boss, Marienne, when he picks up a job at the local library. Love ultimately murdered her so Joe wouldn't feel tempted, but his fixation transferred to someone new. The first being Natalie, a realtor and the Quinn-Goldbergs' neighbor who makes a move on Joe - while she's also married.

Even the open world isn’t safe from enemies, as the trailer shows the raven following the player out of the house and capturing them near a car.Despite being married to Love and raising a child with her, Joe still finds himself obsessing over and preying on more innocent women.

Hello neighbor ending explained series#
The AI in the original game followed a series of waypoints set by the developer, but the sequel is promising a fully dynamic AI that changes patterns based on the player’s actions. In the reveal trailer, key items are more obviously laid out to the player, and the addition of a security camera allows players to see the enemy from different angles. Hello Neighbor 2 seems to retain several of these puzzle elements, but they don’t look nearly as illogical or completely random. That can be anything from throwing objects through paintings to find obscure holes to climb through, or stacking boxes up to climb up the side of a house that looks impossible. One of the biggest complaints of Hello Neighbor is how the puzzles are not solved organically, rather the game has you advance through the story by a series of trial-and-error attempts. Hello Neighbor’s gameplay is part stealth, part horror, part ridiculous puzzle solving. The trailer for Hello Neighbor 2, however, seems to take the game from a buggy mess into a real fleshed-out title. Although an online sensation of its own, Hello Neighbor was critically panned at release, sitting at a solid 38 on Metacritic. The sequel looks to play fairly similar to the original, but this time hosts players in an open-world with a supposedly fully dynamic AI stalker far more advanced than in the first game.

The child sees the neighbor aggressively locking the door to his basement and decides to figure out what’s going on inside. The events of Hello Neighbor have players take the role of a child living across the street from a very strange, creepy middle-aged man. Since release, a prequel and multiplayer game have been released, with Hello Neighbor 2 being a direct sequel to the original. The game’s development attracted a number of streamers and YouTubers that formed a large community online, making the new IP much more popular than when it was raising funds. After failing to secure funds for their Kickstarter in 2015, Eerie Guest Studios (formally Dynamic Pixels) decided to continue working on the game anyway and managed to secure a publisher with tinyBuild.

The original Hello Neighbor game has quite an impressive history. Hello Neighbor is getting a sequel for Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC.
