For this video I'm working with a charity who are dedicated to finding out if Matt Pat ever responded to the Hello Neighbor Twitter account.

For just 3,000 pounds per month you can help support the Matention

Patension Foundation to give Hello Neighbor and every other

indie game Twitter account the resources that they need to help get

the attention of Matpat. The begging has to stop.

Okay, I'm ready. I'm finally to be here. Hello internet. Welcome to Game Theory, the show that's always late to the meme.

And no, you didn't read that title wrong, my friends.

Today's the day that I finally answer the developer's call.

Frame by Frame.

let me just bring you up to speed. Hello Neighbor, probably a game that needs... literally no

separate betas and each time the game was just vastly different and

significantly worse.
