When Hello Neighbor was in development there was a lot of theorizing about the story of the game. In each version, the developers released more confusing and exciting the story was becoming. I got disappointed when they released the final version and there wasn't exactly a big story to tell. All that excitement and theories were over and I was kind of sad. Discovering this book was to bring back all those Youtube videos I've watched but this time there was a full story, some sort of explanation to all that crazy story the game have throughout the different stages of development.
The only thing I was concerned about was how much it would diverge from the actual game but since this is a prequel there isn't much that can be "wrong". And for me, this book got everything right.
The atmosphere was as creepy as the game, Nicky's dreams were like in the game, and the locks, the basement door, the labyrinth house, the golden apple... IT. WAS. AMAZING! I loved this experience! I was reading about two characters I already knew about how everything started. How they got to know each other and most importantly, what secrets Mr Peterson hides? I just want to get to the answers!!
This is only the first book in a series that I'll be continuing for sure. My brain decided to give up right now, and I don't know what to make of anything I read. I don't know how dark the story might get (since it's a middle-grade book), how serious it's going to get or if the Neighbor will turn out to be "good" after all. I'm confusion!
If you also are a fellow gamer and loved all the theories about Hello Neighbor give this book a try because the story is just getting juicier by the minute. I know it's a MG book but the story is so awesome.
I really need to buy the next one.
