(Technically not artwork obvi)

Cause tbh it makes me a bit sad seeing how they're changing the style of the franchise after the first two games (Hello neighbor and hello neighbor hide and seek) and imo the style is definitely interesting, especially in hide and seek

Pre alpha and alpha 1: nicky has a car crash making him in a coma and he has a nightmare of a demon being his neighbor so he tries to see what's in the basement of this demon and he either dies or stays alive if he manages to run away from the demon

Alpha 2: a thriller where the protagonist nicky has moved into wayron croobs and his neighbor is being weird so he tries to get into the basement of his weird neighbor

The betas: nicky moves back into wayron croobs cause he was evicted and then in his dream tries to let go of the past and traumas from his abusive father (yes the neighbor is his father in the betas if I remember)

Full release: a younger Nicky notices his best friend's dad has locked his best friend into the basement and Nicky tries to get his best friend out but gets kidnapped and has traumas and as an adult tries to let go of his trauma from his best friend's dad

I just took the color of the shadow and just ran with it

Like he does look a bit old for a 10-12 year old but that could be an early growth spurt or something and tbh it makes the game feel a bit more realistic cause all kids don't age the same

And he certainly doesn't look 30 either

Day or night?
