Hello Neighbor: THE ULTIMATE ALPHA COLLECTION

NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FINAL GAME:

Here is another Game that many of you that watched Youtube the last 10 years surely know. And it´s many Alphas and Prototype builds that many consider to be superior to the Final Game.

Yes calling this a "Horror Game" is a Stretch, but does some of you still know the Dreamcast Classic "illbleed", damn i loved this Game. This old Classic was more fun than scary as well and just shows that Horror can be more than dark and gritty.

This Game uses a kind of Tim Burton-esk Artstyle that might not be to everyone´s Taste. I think it looks cool, very out there and unique. the Pre Alpha, Alpha 1 and the Hello Guest Prototypes especially.

In this Game your Protagonist tries to break in his Neighbors House and get into his Basement because why the Hell not. You have to solve Puzzles that get more and more obscure in later alpha Versions while avoiding the Neighbor.

And I mean it: You most likely will need a Walkthrough for some of the Puzzles. Than there is also Platforming, very bad Platforming with very floaty Controls. 

I never got the Hang of this, Why the Hell the Developer thought putting such a big Focus on nonsencical Puzzles and Platforming was a good Idea is beyond me.

This also comes with the Fact that the Neighbor himself is unable to get you when you are at higher Floors.

He is supposed to be a Threat to your Progress but in later Alphas and even in the Final Game his Pathfinding  and THE WAY TOO BIG HOUSE doesn´t allow him to be one.

I mean THIS IS HIS HOME RIGHT??? He should be able to move around freely with no Problems Right???... RIGHT???... WRONG!!!

And the Lore... OH MY GOD THE LORE!!! Seriously WHO CARES!!!

Because the worst part are these Minigames that are included from Alpha 4 onwards. I don´t want to sound harsh but...

 THEY SUCK!!!

And not only are they objectivly bad, THEY ARE MANDATORY FOR COMPLETION!!! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!!!

Speedrunners skip all 3 of this Minigames for a Reason, just sayin....

And before someone writes it down in the Comments: 

NO I DO NOT HATE THIS GAME!!! Yes you could assume this by everything i mentioned above but I don´t.

I always thought the Concept and Idea were really cool and sometimes when everything clicks this Game can be really fun. But I would be a Hypocrite when I say it was Smooth-Sailing all around. 

NO THIS IS A ROUGH ONE!!!
Be prepared to curse and if you are crazy enough to play this without a Guide to ruin your Monitor, your Keyboard and YOUR SOUL!!!

Oh yeah. This is why i had to upload this one. Because I always found it fascinating how this Game became what it is. 

From the very interesting Premise of the Pre-Alpha to the kind of disappointing and sometimes infuriating Final Release.

A very interesting Casestudy what happens when you focus too much on the wro.... No wrong is not right.... too much at things that don´t matter that much... yes that´s better.

The Second Game is believe it or not actually way better than the first with many of the bad Design Choices removed, still not amazing but it was an Improvement.

And yet again: The Alphas and Prototypes of the second Game also showed some really interesting Concepts and Ideas, NONE OF THEM ARE IN THE FINAL GAME.

sigh... And before this gets turned into an Essay (I think it is already) I stop here. Just let me say even if you played the Full Version of the first and second Hello Neighbor Game before these Builds are all worth checking out.

This Collection includes to my Knowlegde every single Alpha, Beta and Prototype Build that was publicly available FOR BOTH HELLO NEIGHBOR GAMES.

And yes even the Lost Beta 2 and the first Hello Guest Prototype are also included.
I even included the Bendy Collab Mod
and the Hello Neighbor 2 Demo for Completionist sake.

Alpha 4, Bendy Collab Mod and the Hello Neighbor 2 Demo are splitted in multiple parts because of 1GB Limit, download all 2 or 3 parts and unpack.
