The Pre-Alpha Man 

Fun fact about the Pre-Alpha player model, Tinybuild just used the neighbor's model and changed the head for their design, which is also why he shares the animations of the neighbor

One of the memorable parts of Pre-Alpha is the fricking TV guy, just they way he goes “RRRRRRRING DING DARNELL” in the fricking game is amazing.

May the Original rest in piece. He was a true OG. That beautiful confident man will stay in our hearts and in fangames

Bro doesn’t need hands to carry stuff what a legend

I like the neighbor's AI in the pre-alpha and alpha 1 were he cant see you from behind him and takes shortcuts to get to the player

he looks like the guy that hit the protagonist at the end of hello neighbor 2

no matter where he is pre alpha man is always in our hearts

If he first appeared in the prototype, shouldn't he be called "The prototype man"

Tinybuild always somehow manages to make the alphas and betas of their games better than the full release

Pre alpha man has the same animations as the neighbor like the jumping animation and the running animation the the full realease and it is cool how they let you see the character because it felt lifeless without hands. Nice video explaining him though!

Pre alpha lives in our hearts

how come this guy is the only guy who talks about pre alpha man?

Sadly pre-alpha man died buried in the neighbor's yard, we may pay respect for him.

Pre-Alpha man is amazing he looks unstoppable

2:41 in the outside he's brave and confident, In the inside he's feeling the actual pain of death in his legs

5:31 is Slender man in Hello neighbor

he was removed cuz he got burried alive and then another person investigates the neighbors house like nicky and shadowman are friends

Actually the pre alpha player was actually a early version of nicky roth

I really want to see Pre alpha man as a new textured character in hn2

I found on wiki or somewhere that Pre-Alpha Man was an early model for The Neighbor.

I like to come back to this video from time to time because its so chill to watch 😊

ok to sum up this video in 2 seconds, pre alpha man is a fucking genius

I personally believe that the pre-alpha man escaped being buried alive in alpha 1, then going insane and turning into the guest.

i love how you have a great knowledge about hello neighbor always discovering many things i also know a lot of things about hello neighbor i am training to be like you as a great hello neighbor player

I love the footsteps of the pre alpha man in the prototype in special in the wood

Thank you for this, I will use this video information for an upcoming video I'm doing on my channel!

I actually beleived before the full game came out that the thing (Or the shadow as he was called then) was the pre alpha man that the neighbor murdered and was haunting him in Alpha 1 (as the player) and later in alpha 3, and 4

Actually I think that the Pre-alpha man is Alpha 1 man. The Alpha 1 unused player model can be seen in the ModKit, he looks like the neighbor but untextured and with different arms. He has a blue sweater on and in one of the early official Hello Neighbor arts you can see the Pre-alpha man's shoes which are blue too. Also he got cancelled along with the first version of the lore, alpha 2 is called "Hello Neighbor: Reborn" the title proves it. I don't even know why am I writing this comment it's almost meaningless.

random fact: the first ever version of the game (i think) used to have the neighbor swear at you

if you read the removed plot to hello neighbor from Nikita Kolesnikov, the main character of the pre-alpha was named Harold and his neighbor Jack. After the plot was removed and completely changed.

pre alpha man has a player model in one of the games but it was never used he was also meant to have a blue shirt,brown hair,blue shoes and i think red pants.

Theory: the shadow guy in Hello Neighbor which basically haunts the neighbor (you can find shadow guy in hello neighbor full game) is probably the Shadow man because it isn't afraid of the Neighbor and all ways after the Neighbor

wait what pre alpha man was buried in prototype after the neighbor caught him useing the hammer on the basement

I think it’s the Neighbor or a clone or maybe a brother of the Neighbor because he runs the same way as the Neighbor jumps the same way and as intelligent as the neighbor

Just to let you know, hes actually the early version of nicky.

Pre alpha man can attack nicky by using his sprint and pushing nicky in a fast way and he is a terminator

Best character in the world

he has the same jumping animation as the neighbor

My Theory: The Pre-Alpha Man is not the Full Release Player, & he's in the Full Released Version, He's not the Player, Instead he's the Shadow Man seen in the Nightmares of the Guy

There’s a theory that he’s the one who knocked the guy out at the end of hello neighbor 2

Guys the original games we where gonna he the neighbors son as shown in some really old achievements that were removed a long time ago and it would make sense cause we looked like him and in the old story he was trying to keep the stuff in the basement secret not hide his son after killing his daughter in the full release and hello neighbor hide and seek!

He acting like the neighbor when he get free from the beat trap

The most confident man on earth

The reason why he jumps so weird is because it’s the neighbors body and the neighbor only jumps when he breaks through a window so the animation is him jumping through a window

kinda sad that such a guy gets scrapped.

All playable hello neighbour characters The pre-alpha man Invisible man Nicky Roth Mya Peterson Secret Neighbour Kids

Dis is big brain contend.

yo. The pre-alpha man is moving and jumping like the neighbor in the full-version

Me: Pre-Alpha Man wait! Pre-Alpha Man: what? Me:you dropped it "👑" Pre-Alpha Man: thank you Thanks for everything big man

Why does everybody hate Nicky so much he survived being kidnapped and got over some sort of phobia and has superpowers. And ngl pre alpha man did just randomly try to break into a guys house and go in his basement I mean who wants some random guy in your basement?

I like the neighbors chase even tho I never got a chance to play 😢

the pre alpha man is like more a representation of us like a human or player

Imagine tiny build brought back the pre alpha man

Here's a fact, the Pre-Alpha Man's Idle pose or Hip pose is basically a random idle animation taken from the neighbor (yes he does have that pose.)

Don't forget he can also lean left to right with z and x unlike the cringe nicki in the other alphas.

Well the neighbor is super fast in this version of the game so makes since that pre-alpha man Is fast Edit: he also leans

In the trailer the devs were playing the version and the fact it actually depends on us, and in the gameplay of the pre alpha too, even if the devs did change the sounds in the gameplay

when it said he is unstoppable thats true because in prototype he died from burried alive by neighbor but then pre aloha hes back so he is unstoppable

I’m playing the Pre Alpha right now and i put the flashlight somewhere so it can show my shadow in the garage lol

Depressed Nicky vs Chad Pre-Alpha Man

you can see the pre-alpha man model inside the game files with an unreal engine viewer, even though it's just a simple model with no texture, a bit similar to the neighbor.

Plot twist: pre alpha man knocked out Quentin in the end of hello neighbour 2

The story about the pre alpha man is that his house was cross the dirt road I guess anyway his house was in the back in the prototype we do not see his car but I guess he moved in the pre alpha house we see when we play the pre alpha game and wait also this is why it’s edited because when we go to a prototype mod in hello neighbor we see the pre alpha man’s car driving by but we’re the pre alpha man in the prototype mod edit again when we get caught a lot of times in a prototype mod we see the pre alpha car crashed into the fence

Me and pre alpha man we’re friends but now he’s gone missing someone help me find him

Its actually sad that pre alpha man got scammed for getting this pathetic house :(

I don’t think we will see pre alpha man EVER because well he got buried alive

The bad thing though, is that he is depicted as a shadow. But the official HN fandom site *supposedly* shows a "3d model" of him. He runs just like the Neighbor. Good thing that the pre-alpha man appears as 3d in that one fan game 5:19

What if in alpha 1 you are pre alpha man and you getting buried at the end is actually pre alpha man getting buried showing that they won’t use him.

Pre-Alpha Man could rob a bank and not get caught.

Imagine if they make a game where Pre-Alpha Man is Aaron aka Neighbor's son trying to apologize to his father or something.

Pre alpha man is just the neighbor with a different head

I wish there were actually binoculars in this alpha

I feel that this is Nickys dad

thats the neighbors shadow i think the neighbor is the player guy, im so proud

Pre-Alpha Man > Nicky

Late comment theory I think the pre-alpha man is a shadow monster demon that haunts both Nicky and Peterson.

In the game files of the pre-alpha dude hes not just black there's a low poly version of him hes just green

He’s cool, he sneaks into basements, who is he? The pre alpha man!

People are talking about the pre alpha man and not the 2014 devgamm player. So the 2014 devgamm player was only shown in one video. If you search up that video you can see that the player is different from all the playable characters. So the player has a empty house with no furniture. The only thing the player brought was binoculars. You can see him wear gloves because its a snowy day. Now lets talk about his abilities. The 2014 devgamm player has slow reflexes as he barely reacts to the neighbor. The player is very slow. The slowest from all the characters in the game. But he is very strong he can move a furniture with only one hand. Similar to pre alpha man, the player also comes up with creative ways. But never thought of whats gonna happen in the future. Unfortunately, the game is not canon. Meaning that it is not playable. Unless, you play the remastered.

Quentin looks like pre alpha man

WE know it isn't the character we play as now because he got burried alive at the end if alpha 1

Para mí, tiene un gran parecido con el hombre que aparece al final de Hello Neighbor 2

Pre alpha man is back hello neigbor 2 final

pre alpha man is the best he got buried in prototype and prob died and came back to life in pre alpha

It all makes sense.. Pre-Alpha man is the person who knocks you out in the end of HN2, and this game is his origin story. Pre alpha man had just moved into his house, when he heard his favorite TV show playing from across the road, the beautiful "RRING DING DALM", he visited his neighbor's house, only to find.. the neighbor didn't want him to watch :( his new mission was to break into the basement which was heavily guarded, and once he got in there, he'd sneakly watch from the keyhole, days passed as the neighbor slowly bought more items that looked cool to have, but Pre-Alpha man saw better use of them, he eventually unplanked the door, found a blacklight and found the code, found the key, he broke into the basement to see.. absolutely nothing, not even a keyhole he could look through, that is the start of Pre-Alpha man's disent into madness

Pre alpha man is my favorite character.

His name is Andrew if anyone's wondering

Am I the only one that realizes that pre - alpha man... is the neighbors model???!?!?

he looks a bit like neighbor

Rip pre nicky

In alpha 1 there’s a untextured hand and arm so this could mean that we could see what pre-alpha man’s arm could look like

I think pre alpha man isn't just a suspicous neighbor, but like a burgular based on the model it looks like he has a striped beanie on his head

Woaw last time i watch this youtube channel it wasnt 1000 subscriber

What if after pre alpha man died and He turned into the shadow man.

Theory: this is actually Nicky. According to the games, he is the main protagonist. This is just a first design since they needed a design for act 2’s player model. Here’s another one. Prototype is a sequel. Because in the prototype, the pre-alpha man was buried. It’s unknown about the man but someone called him “Andrew”. There might be a chance Andrew is the shadow man due to both being mysterious. Also for the prototype theory, after Andrew found the basement, he ran and moved. 2 days later the neighbor is back. With a different house. Andrew tried to enter the basement but wasn’t so lucky.

I’ve always wondered that too

Also the diffrence between the prototype pre alpha man and the pre alpha man is the prototype version doesnt have his hands on his hips when hes standing still go look at the part where he is picking up the hammer you can see his shadow and his hands are just normal so thats the difference

Devgamm devgamm player Prototype-pre alpha Pre alpha man Alpha 1 invisible player Alpha 2-full game Nicky Roth Hello Neighbor Hide and seek Mya Secret neighbor rescue square Hello guest-hello neighbor 2 alpha 1.5 quetin

Guys, I have a theory. The Pre-Alpha Man is the first "Victim" of the Neighbor. I also got this thought that the person we're trying to save (but Nicky might not even care, he just wants in the basement) is Pre-Alpha Man. I know, it doesn't make sense. But I feel like that's good enough since the game doesn't really explain it's lore well.

Atleast hes better than Nicky (the Alpha 2 protagonist).
