Game Theory: I Analyzed Hello Neighbor Frame By Frame

so glad matpat called out how games like fnaf have such an unnecessary reliance on books, they really should not be mandatory to read to even have a slight idea of whats going on in the story

The only thing more savage than MatPat ignoring your desperate tweets begging for attention is MatPat coming back four years later and explaining exactly WHY he ignored your desperate tweets begging for attention. 😂

I totally agree with MatPat. We shouldn't HAVE to read the books to understand anything. I loved it when you just hopped in the game and you had to actually find clues and secrets IN THE GAME. It's so much more fun and it makes you be prouder of your work because YOU FOUND IT YOURSELF. Now we're just basically reading the book and calling it "a theory" it's so exhausting and shouldn't be mandatory.

Caddi is the perfect person to have be a part of The Game Theorists. He's an absolute unit.

Looks like matpat accepted his fate with his enemy

I like that the new hosts of the channels are being featured on the channel more before MatPat goes, it feels like it'll make the transition a bit easier

About the jumbled up letters, maybe the character you play as is dyslexic You’re in a first person view after all, while the show is told in 3rd person Actually since he was locked away for years maybe he’s forgotten how to read

The Caddicarus inclusion was great. So glad the Mattention Pattention Foundation's work has not gone unnoticed

I like how Matpat actually said how he felt about the game. It almost felt like he was trying super hard to stay civil while still putting his piece in. It was kinda hilarious to watch lol

I love the criticisms of how lackluster in stories popular games are getting. They really need to stop pushing books and actually stay focused on the games themselves!

4:20 Gosh I always enjoyed that Psychic Friend Fredbear jingle. It's also nice seeing more theories that made our childhoods before MatPat's inevitable passing the torch moment and retiring, it's a nice touch.

“If you're not careful you can spend your whole life looking for what you've lost.” Thank you, for everything Matpat. Everything.

I love this. Matpat is so snarky and as he should be. He really said "yeah I'm not reading all that" lol. No one should put an expectation on him to play their game let alone analyze it and I'm glad he sorta established that by not doing a hello neighbor theory just because there was pressure to do so. I also like how this felt less like a theory and more like an explanation of what story in the games and show and books. No secrets uncovered, no plot twists, just doing exactly what he said he would: watch it frame by frame.

My favorite GT video so far because (1) of the intro, (2) the Psychic Friend Fred Bear song was played, (3) Tom was here, and (4) MatPat has his Youtooz merch for us. Glad I was here for it! ✨️😄🎉

I was NOT expecting a Caddicarus joke to turn into a cameo, what the heck. XD It's also really strange that Caddy's subscriber count isn't skyrocketing after that. He's so FUNNY!!

I'm glad MatPat decided to call out the whole why is everything in the books now for most major indie horror franchises

Idk why but the psychic friend Fred bear jingle almost made me cry.

11:20 As a theorist who welds. WHAT WELDING PROCESS IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE?!😞

Me listening to this while drawing: Me, hearing MatPat say “Missouri”: MATPAT KNOWS WHERE I LIVE?!

I really do appreciate that Matt, one of the leaders in over theorizing back in the day, is calling out how insanely obscure, convoluted, and indecipherable ARGs or even just normal “mystery” games have gotten. If I need a 10,000 character Reddit post to guide me through how to properly interpret and consume 3+ forms of media to understand your story that isn’t clever writing, that’s insanity. It isn’t lazy as it requires more effort, but it’s a “worker harder without working smarter” sorta thing that helps no one… Except of course the IP owners.
