Exploring the Horror of Five Nights at Freddy's

[Music] hello and welcome to the absurds my name is Gibby and I have written scripts well over 100 Pages before but I have never tackled a subject like this this is the most complicated narrative I have ever Unwound on my channel if you're a longtime viewer then you know that my bread and butter are unbelievable Stranger Than Fiction true stories and fictional worlds that are so detailed they feel like reality and the most interesting thing I discuss are the intersections between these Fantastical fictions and the unbelievable stories and joy behind their Creations in this video I'm going to talk about Five Nights at Freddy's the internet will have you believe this is the most complicated video game story ever told and they are correct well this video is going to serve as a full overview of the franchise so even people who are completely unfamiliar with it will be able to follow along but I will also go into minute detail as I attempt to do the impossible and craft a coherent all-encompassing timeline of events in FNAF so if you've been with the franchise since 2014 like I have or if you just want to know what all the fuss is about with the new movie coming out stay tuned we're we're about to go on a journey together buckle up for the next seven or so hours Five Nights at Freddy's started life as an indie game developed by a single man Scott cin it has since spawned nearly a dozen sequels multiple series of novels and an upcoming movie being produced by horror Juggernaut blumhouse I say upcoming knowing full well that within a few short weeks this video will be outdated by the movie but hey that's how YouTube works I can't sit on this video forever most people know the story by heart but it's important to cover the origins of the franchise because I think that understanding the author is one of the best ways to start looking into the meaning of a piece of art Scott cin released several failed Indie Games before Five Nights at Freddy's most of them using simple yet stylized Graphics that look straight out of the early '90s something that's brought up a lot is that Scott is a devout Christian and so his games featured themes that you would find in works created by religious people I don't think that's actually an important part of the story of Five Nights at Freddy's which I'm going to call FNAF from now on because that's just way too long of a title to keep saying I think the internet just likes highlighting Scott as being religious because it makes the turn from Bright and chipper games he used to make to the dark and legitimately disturbing FNAF all the more drastic IC dramatic of course I don't want to undercut the role that God plays in works created by faithful people I think a lot of religious people would say that God is present in all of their creative Endeavors but it's so weird to me that people label Scott as a Christian when so many creators especially here in America are Christian I've never seen a video essay about Skyrim opened by discussing how Todd Howard is Catholic I just think it's why that when people are discussing FNAF theories someone will say well you know Scott is Christian as if the vast vast majority of art people consume isn't made by a religious person anyway the game he made right before FNAF was actually called chipper and Sons Lumber Company see that's why I described his older games as chipper is is a pun but before Scott made chipper and Sons he created a much darker game in 2012 called the desolate hope this game is intentionally dark Fright in even Scott didn't go from Veggie Tales to child murder he was a normal adult Creator who made some games for kids and some games for older people again I think the focus on Scott's past is meant to point to FNAF being this breaking point where he was so desperate with one final chance for Success that he let the inner darkness of his soul come out to make this horrific experience but I honestly don't think it was that dramatic a major criticism of chipper and Sons was that the character looked like scary animatronics and so Scott decided his next game would have intentionally scary animatronics I don't think Scott was waving his fist in the air saying if this is what you want I'll show you scary I think he did what he would continue to do while making the FNAF series he made his next game using the feedback he got from his previous game and so Five Nights at Freddy's was born a horror game about demonic looking animatronics right out of your 19 198s Chuck-E-Cheese inspired nightmares like Slender the Eight Pages before it FNAF became a favorite among YouTube let's players because it gave them plenty of opportunities to scream loudly at the camera to entertain their viewers oh god what the what the okay the game became very popular after being picked up by big let's players like Markiplier it sold enough copies that Scott could quit his day job and develop games as a career I don't think Scott made his game with YouTubers in mind I think it was a happy accident but that's not to take away from what made the original FNAF really great FNAF is this weird mix of many video game genres that has never really existed before you don't move in the game you just sit in one office which is really just a stretched jpeg that's been given a cylinder shape so you can look side to side and be given the illusion of depth the only thing you can do is look at security cameras and close two doors on either side of you it's not exactly a survival horror game it's not exactly a tower defense it's not exactly point and click it's not exactly a game of Pac-man it's a weird combination of all of those things let me set the stage for you pun definitely intended in Five Nights at Freddy's you play as a security regarded a fictionalized version of Chuck-E-Cheese they got arcade machines they got pizza they got animatronics that sing and entertain the kids and they got animatronics that sing and terrify the kids it's just how it is you have to stay there from Midnight until 6:00 a.m. and just watch the building but soon you learn that you're not there to keep vandals and burglers out you're there because of the animatronics every night you hear a recorded message from the previous nighttime guard over the phone which led the community to dub this character phone guy phone guy explains that the animatronics have to walk around occasionally to prevent their servos from locking up and that they can't do it during the day because in the past letting them walk around led to the bite of 87 in which someone lost the frontal lobe of their brain the animatronics have some level of artificial intelligence and phone guy says that if they see you they'll probably think you're an endoskeleton in need of a mascot suit so they'll drag you to the back room and stuff you into a a spare suit which would kill you the game then is to survive until 6:00 a.m. by warding off characters and protecting yourself from them using strategy and techniques that you learn through trial and error with some hints from phone guy you survive five nights get a paycheck and the game ends That's the basis of Five Nights at Freddy's it's just pattern recognition with a creepy atmosphere and some subtle lore and lots of jump scares which made it the perfect game to play for a YouTube channel it's one thing to play the game and slowly learn how to beat each night and best each animatronic but when you do you get frustrated every time you die cuz you just don't know why the game is not great at communicating exactly what you're supposed to be doing which led to a lot of Myths and Legends at the time about easy ways to best certain characters like Foxy but if you're watching somebody play Not only do you get to watch them figure it out on their own but when they die it's not frustrating it's hilarious they scream and make funny sounds okay God this night is lasting forever and of course all the boring parts will be edited out so you just get a smooth engaging Narrative of your favorite screaming YouTube boy fighting his way through each night where's the ducky where's Mr Zam no no ducky there FNAF is a great game mechanically but but in its Essence it's actually better as a video the fun puzzle parts are still fun because you the viewer still get to figure them out and the frustrating failures are fun because you're not the one failing again I think it's accurate to say the game is accidentally great for Let's Plays and that's one reason that people love it but the other reason is the lore I mentioned earlier The Bite of 87 the lived in feeling of the building and the history it implies nowadays we might say it has the essence of a Lial space we see a party room empty with Hats set up for a party that you aren't going to attend you're seeing something outside of its normal context and for some reason we find that creepy there's also newspapers on the wall you can read that tell a very vague but also easy to decipher Story the original Freddy Fazbear's Pizza was shut down because five children went missing inside but their bodies were never found kids vanish at local pizzeria bodies not found two local children were reportedly lured into a back room during the late hours of operation at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza on the night of June 26th while video surveillance identified the man responsible and led to his capture the following morning the children themselves were never found and are presumed dead police think that the suspect dressed as a company mascot to earn the children's Trust five children now reported missing suspect convicted five children are now linked to the incident at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza where a man dressed as a cartoon mascot lured them into a back room while the suspect has been charged the bodies themselves were never found Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has been fighting an uphill battle ever since to convince families to return to the pizzeria it's a tragedy Lo Pizzeria threatened with shutdown over sanitation local pizzeria Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has been threatened again with shutdown by the health department over reports of foul odor coming from the much loved animal mascots police were contacted when parents reportedly noticed what appeared to be blood and mucus around the eyes and mouths of the mascots one parent Al likened them to reanimated carcasses local pizzer is set to close by Year's End after a long struggle to stay in business after the tragedy that took place there many years ago Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has announced that it will close by Year's End despite a year-long search for a buyer companies seem unwilling to be associated with the company these characters will live on in the hearts of kids these characters will live on CEO so yeah the The Killers stuffed their bodies in the suit and now they're haunted pretty straightforward I wouldn't say that this is so much Hidden Lore as it is subtext you're supposed to understand what the newspapers are implying also fun fact recording this is the first time I noticed that last quote these characters will live on in the hearts of kids these characters will live on it's a joke cuz the characters are going to live on cuz they're possessed and they're ghosts it's I get it now the events described in these newspapers are referred to by fans as the missing children's incident or the MCI this will go on to be the basis and the Catalyst for everything that happens in the story and because of that all of the details surrounding it are extremely important the newspapers explained that cameras picked up someone in a mascot suit luring children into a back room this happened in June and the next day after the camera footage was observed the guy was arrested but even then the bodies were never found we know and we can assume that they were stuffed into the suit that's why it's the missing children incident and the dead children incident there's some speculation about when this occurred but basically everyone agrees it was 1985 the newspaper specifies the month of June and the 1985 number comes from the books that describe the incident as well as the fact that based on later games in the series we know it takes place between 1983 and 1987 so 1985 is the date of the missing children incident which from now on I will refer to as the MCI besides the minimal story jump scares and gameplay play the main take people had back in the day was how silly it was for our main character security guard whose name we learn is Mike Schmid to keep coming back once it's very apparent how dangerous the animatronics are this is what we nowadays would call lud narrative dissonance which is a very pretentious way of saying that the gameplay in the story are out of sync the story tells you that the animatronics are dangerous and that you have to fight for survival but the game play makes you come back for five nights which no reasonable person would the character only acts the way they do during the gameplay sections because the story demands it even if it conflicts with the story and a lot of people noticed and made fun of this back in 2014 and oh how wrong they were you see the fact that the night guard comes back after the first night is extremely crucial to the ongoing plot of the series but it will take four more games for us to realize what that reason he comes back is and now we're going to trans position away from the game and we're going to start talking about the story Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is a Chuck-E-Cheese analog within the Universe the game takes place during the day the restaurant is a fun kids party destination where families can watch an animatronic band and eat pizza the band members are Freddy the bear Bonnie the bunny and Chica the Chicken off the main stage is Pirates Cove where Foxy the Fox pirate resides but he's out of order Freddy is the leader and the only character not named directly after the type of animal he is his name is actually a play on teddy bear he is Freddy bear Conjuring the image of a soft cuddly friend more so than a frightening wild grizzly there's a help wanted add in the local newspaper Freddy's is looking for a night shift security guard to work from midnight to 6:00 a.m. the newspaper claims the company is not responsible for injury or dismemberment it pays $120 a week upon arriving for the first night the player character Mike Schmidt sits down alone in the security guard's office around him are posters drawings and toys the largest poster says celebrate and depicts the main stage with Bonnie Freddy and Chica a brick wall behind them and Cloud decorations floating by their heads on the desk are several old TVs trash in the form of crumpled tin foil a soda cup papers and a constantly spinning fan on one of the monitors is a pink cup cake with a single candle and its eyes staring directly at you children's cray drawings are pinned to the wall one depicts a boy with a green shirt labeled me opening a present with Bonnie inside it's titled my fun day another also titled my fun day but in pink shows eight Balloons with another off to the side having just popped a yellow my fun day drawing shows a boy opening a small present with Freddy and five other children watching purple my fun day shows Freddy giving a child a present a cut off drawing shows a child in chica standing by a cake with Freddy watching and a final paper shows the lower half of Bonnie's head there are speakers on the floor under the desk however they are covered in cobwebs on the security cameras Mike can see most of the building there are blind spots just outside the office the camera to the kitchen is broken and the camera footage is very staticky Freddy Chica and Bonnie start the night on the stage and Foxy is behind the curtain at Pirate Cove which is closed and out of order Foxy's body is noticeably damaged so perhaps the state of the animatronic is the reason for this closure throughout the night Bonnie and Chica will wander around Bonnie might walk up to your left door and Chica May wander toward the right foxy is constantly in a state of coming to get you looking at the security cameras causes them to emit a light like the red light on a camera to indicate its recording and this light freezes foxy in place Freddy also makes his way toward you but for him the system is a little different you have to specifically be watching the camera he is on to freeze him in place almost like he can tell he's being watched on the first night the phone rings and Mike Schmidt hears the following message from phone guy hello hello hello uh I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night um I actually worked in that office before you I'm finishing up my last week now as a matter of fact so I know it can be a bit overwhelming but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about you'll do fine so let's just focus on getting you through your first week okay um welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza a magical place for kids and grown-ups alike where fantasy and fun come to life fazry entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person upon discovering that damage or death has occurred a missing person report will be filed within 90 days or as soon as property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached and the carpets have been replaced blah blah blah now that might sound bad I know but there's really nothing to worry about uh the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night but do I blame them no if I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for 20 years and I never got a bath I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too so remember these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect right okay so just be aware the characters do tend to wander a bit uh they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night uh something about their servos locking up they get turned off for too long they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too but then there was The Bite of 87 yeah it's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal loobe you know now concerning your safety the only real risk to you as a night Watchman here if any is the fact that these characters if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person they'll they'll most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza they'll probably try to forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit um now that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with cross beams wires and animatronic devices especially around the facial area so you can imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort and death we learned from this call that phone guy worked here before us recorded various messages that we'll hear as the nights go on on and now no longer works for the company the setup is a little weird because he recorded these messages a week ago and left them for us and each one is delivered to us as a phone call but it's a recording the phone is programmed to ring at midnight each night with a different message even though all of them were already recorded which is weird considering what happens later fi alludes to the character singing the same stupid songs for 20 years this date will eventually become important but for now it just means the restaurant has been around for a while and has clearly seen better days he also mentions The Bite of 87 one of the animatronics bit someone's head which is unfortunate although we can gather that foni was employed back in 1987 which further teaches us some history of the building the most alarming part of course is that the phone guy says the animatronics won't recognize Mike as human after hours but will think we're a naked endoskeleton it's very unclear why this is the case and what about it being night makes them unable to recognize he humans I'll get back to that the phone call for Night 2 only includes gameplay information describing how to use the cameras and how Foxy's mechanic Works night three has more story bits with phone guy stating most people don't last this long I mean you know they usually move on to other things by now I'm not implying that they died that that that's not what I meant it's unclear if he's actually being serious or not it might just be there to set the spooky mood or maybe a bunch of employees have died I don't know I think it's more likely that nobody else has died because this topic never comes up again in the entire series some people interpret this as saying that there have been many other KN security guards but that's not how I interpret it I think that he's just saying that even the daytime shift and the daytime workers have a high turnover rate it says that he was the last security guard so again I just think the high turnover rate is for the day crew Knight four has one of the most important story moments for the entire series take a listen oh hey hey wow day four I think you could do it uh Hey listen I may not be around to send you a message tomorrow it's it's been a bad night here for me um I'm kind of glad that I recorded my messages for you when I did hey do me a favor maybe sometime uh you could check inside those suits in the back room I'm going to try to hold out until someone checks maybe it won't be so bad yeah I always wondered what was in all those empty heads back there no oh no phone guy just died now stuff is getting real for the tone of the game obviously this is meant to ramp up tension for the final nights of the game now it's actually hard now the tutorial guy is dead the wise old master has died and now you must rise above him also I bet Scott really regrets this because it really limits storytelling going forward so the animatronics killed phone guy and his body has been in the back room since before you started working here yeah there's no way he's still alive rip phone guy so these animatronics these monsters are the real deal sure in game over screens they've killed you before if you fail at the game but that's not technically Canon obviously your character Mike survives to the end of the game but now in the story canonically they have killed these things are murderers monsters clearly they are pure evil or not maybe they have a good reason to kill the phone guy I don't know the night five phone call sounds like this [Music] this audio is broken text from the book autobiography of a yogi by paramhansa yogandha me would it not be easily possible to employ of them in quick laboratory to indicate the influence of on time you are right will be made by the joy of the book is somewhat famous and is definitely something Scott may have picked up and read just by going to college or being recommended it by a friend people like Steve Jobs swear that it's like like the greatest book ever the final line became really popular in the phandom and birthed the phrase the joy of creation which became a sort of tagline for the series it brings to mind a sort of Frankenstein like character a mad scientist who derived their pleasure their happiness from creating things even if those things are Abominations but this is a misquote the line is actually the joy of creative service but that doesn't mean it's not important Scott's writing and the fandom interpretation of the games are a sort of twin snake or a Boris they feed into each other in a constant Loop so even though that wasn't Scott's intention it's very possible that the fans interpreting the game this way led to the mad scientist Dr Frankenstein character who would eventually become the antagonist of the series now if my college degree in English literature with a focus in creative writing and a minor in philosophy has taught me anything it's not to spend $120,000 on a liberal arts degree but if it's taught me two things it's when a work references or alludes to another work that other work is important to the text's themes and that means that a true Deep dive into FNAF would require reading autobiography of a yogi in order to understand Scott's true intentions but this video is long enough and the lore is so deep that adding in an entire tangent about a 90-year-old barely related book would just be gratuitous so the book starts with a chapter about Yogananda growing up in India okay so to cover this quickly a yogi in simple terms is someone who practices yoga but not modern American Millennial we fit yoga like meditation as actually is used in Indian religious practices basically a yogi is like a monk they're not a priest they're not a religious leader but they've devoted their life to living their religious practices to the fullest Yogananda is a yogi from the 1900s who wrote this book in the 40s and it talks about his life and beliefs and spirituality and things like that this book is obviously a religious text of a religion I don't practice and a religion Scott doesn't practice I absolutely do not mean to belittle anyone's Faith by comparing the philosophy in this book to jump scare Bear game but some of the themes are important I'm approaching this as a Westerner who's interested in the philosophy and not as a Believer or a preacher of the religion Yogananda is not the author's birth name he gained that new name after joining his religious Brotherhood kind of like how the pope chooses a new name once they become the pope paramhansa is a title within Hindu belief to quote from Wikipedia which I hate using as a source but for this it seems fine paramahansa is a Sanskrit religion theological title of Honor applied to Hindu spiritual teachers who have become enlightened the title literally means Supreme Swan so the guy's name is Yogananda his birth name was Manda and he has the title of paramahansa all of which I probably am pronouncing wrong so yogananda's Faith includes the idea of reincarnation and in the first few paragraphs of the book he talks about his link to his past life and how there have been many wise men over the years who are more capable of remembering their past lives and others and how the true human Essence isn't bound to the body which is what allows for reincarnation our spirit is different from our body and can find new bodies this book is really good and I recommend anyone interested in philosophy read it so yogan and's mother dies when he's 12 and on her deathbed she says she wants him to become a monk and that when he was a baby he was blessed by a guru and that she always knew he would be a great monk so this sets him out on a path he meets some more wise men one of them tells him God is simple everything else is complex which is just such a good line Yogananda he's these men talking about a great physicist and he's interested in the physicist because India is known for its metaphysical pioneering for its philosophy and not necessarily for its science so a famous Indian scientist is kind of something of a figure of national pride so he seeks out the scientist who tells him about his time at Cambridge the scientist whose name is Bose is is very famous and he invented what in simple terms is a microscope that let you look specifically at living plants Bose demonstrates to Yogananda how he can introduce a poison to a plant which causes it to cease growing then he can add the antidote which causes it to start growing again quote The evolutionary gestures on the screen held me more raply than a movie plot my companion here in the role of a villain thrust a sharp Implement through a part of the fern pain was indicated by spasmodic flutters when he passed a razor partially through the stem the shadow was violently agitated then silled itself with the final punctuation of death Bose then says graphs of my delicate apparatus have proved that trees possess a circulatory system their sap movements correspond to the blood pressures of animal bodies I will show you my experiments on a piece of tin the life force in metals responds adversely or beneficially to stimuli my instruments have demonstrated that Metals such as the steel used in scissors and Machinery are subject to fatigue and regain efficiency by periodic rest the life pulse in metals is seriously harmed or even extinguished through the application of electric current or heavy pressure countless uses of Bose's instruments will be made by Future Generations the scientist seldom knows contemporaneous reward it is enough to possess the joy of creative service and that's what happened Bo's research that the electrical pathway of information used by plants is similar to animals and humans LED decades later to the idea that we can study plants instead of animals to see how they're stimulated by electricity quote the electrical nerve impulses in the plant were found to be much slower than those in animals this discovery was therefore seized upon by Colombia workers as a means for taking slow motion pictures of the passage of the electrical impulses in nerves so this passage quoted in Five Nights at Freddy's is a about how an inventor may never see the true fruits of their labor and that they should be content by simply using their creativity to add to the cause also it's saying that metal reacts similarly to animals when stimulated the website ffl.com claims the chapter noted is full of research depicting metal as a living organism through the method of experimentation with chloroform this is an extreme overreach it's it's not full of research there's a single paragraph about tin reacting similarly to plants because tin carries an electric current because it's metal if anything the point is that living things behave like metal in the way that we conduct electricity much much later in the timeline of FNAF it will be revealed that the animatronics are possessed and that the manner of possession is that the metal of the endoskeleton contain a substance called Remnant so like what Remains the remnant of a soul or of Life Force this passage seems to be kind of the impetus for Scott's idea the idea that metal can be stimulated the same way a human is controlled by electric currents and thus electricity coursing through metal in a specific way can mimic the life that inhabits human bodies so the possession is sort of like an imprint of your nervous systems electrical pathways on the endoskeleton of the endotronics and thus they mimic your brain patterns your wants your desires this later is slightly contradicted given that we see actual ghosts but the line from this chapter of autobiography of a yogi to FNAF makes sense it explains how possession occurs your nervous system creates Pathways for electricity on a robot that mimics your Consciousness with all of that said this exact sound comes from a sound library that Scott is known to use where the audio was already distorted so maybe it means nothing at [Music] all the phone call on night five the one that quotes autobiography of a yogi was obviously recorded and programmed to play on our fifth night after the phone guy died either phone guy was listening to the audiobook and the recording picked it up or it was something more spiritual one of the spirits is making us hear this for some reason after night 5 you receive your paycheck Mike Schmidt made $120 and the date is November 12th of some year based on this information Mike was making $4 an hour but that was his take-home money that doesn't count Social Security or taxes so he was making more than four but not significantly more than four in 1990 the minimum wage was raised to $4.25 and in '96 it was raised to $4.75 also in 1990 the Social Security tax rate was raised to 6.2% of a paycheck Medicare was also 1.4% these have not changed since 1990 that means that 7.65% of your paycheck gets taken out before you see it so if you take home 120 you actually earned $129.90 that's $433 an hour so the game takes place in November of 1990 91 2 3 4 or 5 we will be able to pin this date down later after completing night 5 we come back for some overtime after night 6 we get this pink paycheck for $120.6 and we are Employee of the Month there is then a night 7 or custom mode where you can set the aggressiveness of the animatronics after beating this night Mike is promptly fired for tampering with the animatronics General unprofessionalism and odor they really don't want you touching these animatronics and getting their stinky corpse rot on you this is the story of FNAF 1 but what I left out are the random details and random events that can happen while you're playing the Easter eggs randomly posters on the wall will change and show you a yellow bear costume with lifeless eyes and occasionally a full slumped over suit will appear in front of you in the room flashing face basis of the animatronics will also take up the entire screen accompanied by the words it's me this is often misstated online as being text the company's pictures of the yellow bear but it's actually all of the animatronics and the sign outside of Foxy's curtain will also change to it's me people have since Associated these words with the yellow bear but there's actually nothing connecting them except for the fact that they're both hallucinations hallucinations besides the newspaper clippings this suit was the only real indic that something Supernatural was going on also the poster sometimes changed to this crying sad boy face the yellow bear suit is obviously haunted and it can teleport around if you keep looking at it your game will crash and that's spooky Markiplier dubbed this character golden Freddy and the community would take to this name eventually that would become the name the games refer to him as in a meta way like in the game's menus and settings he would be called a golden Freddy but within the story he has a different name and we'll get back to that later so who is me why did the animatronics kill phone guy why does Mike come back every day despite the threat of death well now is when we talk about Matt Pat Matt Pat is an internet personality who runs a massive YouTube Network focused on Theory channels he is the showrunner and narrator of videos on the channels Game Theory film Theory food Theory and style Theory as well as uploading let's plays on the channel game theory live game theory is has been around for over 10 years and in the early 2010s focused mainly on nostalgic Evergreen Nintendo titles and the occasional modern hit like the burgeoning Assassin's Creed franchise after the original Five Nights at Freddy's was released matpat was inundated with requests to solve the game's lore originally he was apprehensive to do so because the game story was so cut and dry Matt decided to go a different route for his video Matt makes several styles of Game Theory videos sometimes he talks about the vert story of a game and dissects them like you would a novel in English class sometimes he goes over the historical accuracy of games or what secret meanings they might have given the context of their creations and sometimes he just chugs a green smoothie trying to give himself super strength yes this happened so for FNAF with the story simple and seemingly solved Matt decided to look into what the game might be saying on a deeper level leading to what I believe should be the most controversial video on his channel I don't think Matt will ever take it down because has so many views and because it started the second era of his channel where FNAF and games like it dominated the focus of his videos but to be honest it's definitely the black sheep of all of his videos Matt's first FNAF theory is about how the game might have been made to reference a real world murder that happened at a chucke che's December 1993 Aurora Colorado 1: p.m. Tuesday night at a local Chuck-E-Cheese at 10:05 he left the bathroom pulled out a small caliber handgun and proceeded to execute everyone in the building this story is the one that inspired Five Nights at Freddy's what the a disgruntled former employee broke in after hours and shot some of his former co-workers killing them Matt traces the steps of the Killer and the places his victims fell and Compares them to the locations in FNAF and the actions of the animatronics Matt concludes that the game is telling a story of similar events and that the ghostly appearance of golden Freddy and theim ronics coming to kill you are actually the torment in the afterlife for the killer this is not true this was a big stretch at the time and is certainly with hindsight not what the game is about a lot of people are uneasy about the fact that in this video about FNAF of all things Matt tells the story of a realworld shooting it is handled with tact and Matt says in the video he does not mean to make light of the situation this is a tragic story a disgusting waste of human life and one that I won't joke about or make fun of in any way but the fact is that forever these people who died not too long ago and who still have families that remember the incident will always have their legacy tied to the funny jump scare Bear game Matt also uses the real world shooting to pinpoint the game as taking place in 1993 93 is when the shooting happened it fits our minimum wage sweet spot and in 93 the 12th was of Friday which makes sense as a day that you'd get your paycheck on after this video the community has almost unanimously agreed that 5 Nights at Freddy's 1 takes place in 1993 they are wrong we will get back to that later Matt Pat's theory was that the character Mike is the murderer and that the game is his eternal punishment in death which is why he comes back every day it's also a place you can't escape from while you find yourself back there night after night even after you complete your five nights see you back next week the ending text goes you're unable to leave this Terror the threat of death the guilt this doesn't really make any sense since he gets fired at the end but it was a creative interpretation at the [Music] time hello hello hello uh well if you're hearing this then chances are you've made a very poor career choice [Music] [Music] [Music] FNAF 2 featured more animatronics now we're introducing the toy variations of the core characters the toys appear alongside the old version of the characters and some new characters are introduced like mangle and balloon boy there are no doors this time around so to fight back against the animatronics you have to put on a Freddy mask so they think you are in costume and they won't stuff you also there's a music box you have to wind on one of the cameras otherwise this creepy marionette will wake up and kill you the game much like the first one revolves around this puzzle of figuring out how to stop each animatronic the animatronics coming at you from either side of the room can't get you if you're looking at them they can only move when you're looking at your cameras but you have to look at your cameras to wind the music box but you can't just wind the music box and then check the room for creatures and then wait for the Box again you also have to check down the dark hallway in front of you where foxy tries to reach you foxy can only be stopped by flashing your flashlight at him which has limited batteries so you have to juggle the battery usage your time between winding the box and also keep checking for the animatronics coming at you through the vent as it gets harder it kind of becomes like a rhythm game where you're doing the same actions over and over and only changing it up if you have to quickly react to something FNAF 2 is considered the hardest in the series because at some points you need to react fast enough within a fraction of a second to put your mask on funnily enough FNAF 2 is actually the easiest to beat on Console because putting your mask up is as easy as hitting a button and there's nothing stopping you from pressing the button over and over as you wind the music box thus always having perfect timing if you need to put the mask on FNAF 2 was released in November of 2014 about 3 months after the 1 FNAF 3 would come not long after in March of 2015 it's hard to explain for people who weren't there at the time how hype these releases were FNAF 1 was an instant phenomenon and I would equate it to how the only pure way to play Pokemon is in the 9s before the internet where you're swapping rumors and legends back and forth on the playground so many of them were total garbage but they sounded true and some of them were actually true even though they sounded like total garbage FNAF 1 was so mysterious both lore and plot and atmospherically wise that if someone told you there was a secret way to beat a knight faster you might believe them and there is you can literally just press a single button on the keyboard to skip an entire night or if you said that there's a one in 10,000 chance of seeing something nobody had ever seen before well there there there was kind of that too there's also a fan Theory at the time that foxy was actually a good guy and that the reason that he came and ran to your office when you didn't look at the camera long enough was cuz he was checking on you to make sure that you were okay and the reason that he doesn't jump scare you and instead just leans in the door is because he's not trying to kill you and the real reason you die is cuz you have a heart attack when he's in there that's what counted as interesting discourse at the the time but the mysterious random appearances of golden Freddy crashing your game so that's golden Freddy so you don't want to look at it and the myths about ways to beat foxy or patterns you could do to get through the night faster spread around kind of like how little kids would spread rumors on a playground and tell you that holding down the B button makes catching a Pokémon easier every time a new FNAF game came out it was like part of the puzzle fit into place better each game was like its own little puzzle box with each animatronic being its own riddle and the trilogy itself was like a puzzle with each game being its own Mystery and it was structured in such a way that every layer was important and there was this implied promise that solving it was possible and that there was this Grand Revelation in store for whoever could figure it out when FNAF came out Matt Pat of course released a follow-up Theory FNAF 2 had a lot more lore in it when you die there's a chance that you might play a miname that mimics the look of Atari games from the80s these mini gamess introduced the murderer of the series this purple guy who the fans call purple guy and we get to see some of his killings the gameplay of FNAF 2 is similar to the first there's five nights but actually seven and you survive from midnight to 6:00 a.m. and you got to stop the animatronics from jump scaring you the only animatronic who doesn't overtly kill you is balloon boy who sneaks into the room and steals the batteries out of your flashlight meaning that you can't stop foxy this is not instant death but it's likely death you also can't be killed by JJ who's JJ JJ is this pink version of balloon boy who randomly appears under your desk on very rare occasions it's literally just there to scare you but it does mean that JJ exists as an animatronic he or she is a real important character there's also an endoskeleton walking around it does not have a suit this is of course against the rules and so theoretically he should be getting shoved in a costume but I guess the rules are different for him so the first game had phone guy but he's dead so you might be asking if this game has an equivalent to phone guy and it does it has phone guy hello hello hello uh hello and welcome to your new summer job at the new and improved Freddy Fazbear's Pizza uh I'm here to talk you through some of the things you can expect to see during your first week here and to help you get started down this new and exciting career path uh now I want you to forget anything you may have heard about the old location you know uh some people still have a somewhat negative impression of the company uh that old restaurant was kind of left to rot for quite a while but I I want to reassure you Fury entertainment is committed to family fun and above all safety they've spent a small fortune on these new animatronics uh facial recognition Advanced Mobility sohone guy is alive and that's because this game is a prequel that's right despite the two in the title and and all the talk about Freddy's reopening this game is a prequel this game takes place in the location before the first fnaf's pizzeria and since this is a reopening that means there was another place before this one three Freddy's locations with this being the second one and the one in the original FNAF being the third one phone guy welcomes you to this summer job that's a mistake like literally it's it's a typo the game takes place in November Scott will later make fun of this mistake in one of the future games okay so you're a new employee and your name is Jeremy and we're told the old restaurant was left to rot some people think negatively of the company and now they're committed to safety so that first Freddy's location is clearly where the murders happened sorry not not the murders the missing children incident missing not murders we know that they were stuffed into suits but bodies were never found so they weren't murdered they're just missing this is my favorite part they didn't let them walk around during the day isn't that neat if you remember the phone calls from F1 then you know what this means animatronics would walk around during the day until The Bite of ' 87 meaning this game takes place before The Bite of 87 I love Scott's cough there because he knows that we know exactly what that means you're only the second guard to work at that location uh the first guy finished his week but complained about conditions uh we switched him over to the day sh Jeremy is also the second night guard at this location the first complained about poor conditions and was changed to the day shift he only worked for one week before switching meaning that your first day is the building's Eighth Day of operations by now I'm sure you've noticed the older models sitting in the back room uh those were from the previous location and we just used them for parts now but they were just so ugly you know and the smell of those older ones shouldn't be able to walk around but if they do the whole Freddy head trick should work on them too so whatever the night two phone call mentions that the old animatronics are being kept in the back room for parts they're from the old location these are called the withered animatronics because they're kind of decrepit but it also tells us that these suits are from the first location these are the ones with the bodies in them and they're present in this building I'll be honest I never like that puppet thing it's always thinking and it can go anywhere uh I don't think the Freddy mask will fool it so just don't forget the music box phone guy keeps bringing up the puppet animatronic that can be stopped by winding the music box he says it can go anywhere that basically means it can float and fly he also says it's always thinking now when you first boot up the game you're met with this cut scene you're in the location from FNAF 1 your point of view is inside Freddy's head and you're just looking around when the scene ends the words it's me appear on screen these scenes which the game's files label as nightmares happen between every night until eventually the puppet comes and stares at you so someone is saying it's me to to someone maybe to the spirit inside of Freddy but I think it's more likely it would be being said to the person having the nightmare someone is saying it's me to a person who is dreaming that they're Freddy and since it's me was said to Mike Schmidt in FNAF 1 I think the person dreaming that the Freddy is Mike now the puppet is not in FNAF 1 so this either IND indicates that after the events of the game we're currently playing Mike will eventually dream about his time in the FNAF 1 location and then the puppet will appear or it implies the first Freddy's location where the MCI happened is the same physical building as the FNAF 1 location they opened in that building the children vanished they closed down they open this new building it closes after The Bite of 87 then they go back to the location in the first game and then that one also closes by Year's End this would mean that these dreams about the puppet take place before the main gameplay of FNAF 2 and I think that that's that's the explanation I I I think that's it but we'll get back to that phone guy also says that the old location was left to rot and FNAF 1 is definitely rotting by the time of the game on night three Fone guy talks about Foxy his favorite little boy he says they redesigned foxy to be more kid-friendly but the kids tore him apart so this foxy is now called mangle at the end of the phone call is the most interesting and annoying part of the story uh oh hey before I go I wanted to ease your mind about any rumors you might have heard lately uh you know how these local stories come and go and seldom mean anything I can personally assure you that whatever is going on out there however tragic it may be has nothing to do with our establishment it's just all rumor and speculation people trying to make a buck you know uh our guard during the day has reported nothing unusual and he's on watch from opening till close so he's talking about rumors you've heard lately so not the MCI new rumors he also says that whatever is happening is going on out there not here at this location not more kids disappearing here instead it's things going on outside this building that people for some reason are linking to the company and we'll get back to that thankfully we have our daytime security guard to protect us you know the one who worked the first week of night shifts he's got our back ohello hello okay so uh just to update you uh there's been somewhat of an investigation going on uh we may end up having to close for a few days I don't know uh I went to emphasize though that it's really just a precaution badbury entertainment denies any WR I'm doing these things happen sometimes um it'll all get sorted out in a few days just keep an eye on things and I'll keep you posted okay so now whatever rumors were just rumors last night are a real investigation and Fazbear is involved the way he says these things happen sometimes makes me think these aren't murders there aren't dead kids appearing everywhere this is about something else uh just as a side note though try to avoid eye contact with any of the animatronics tonight if you can someone may have tampered with their facial recognition systems we're not sure but the characters have been acting very unusual almost aggressive toward the staff they interact with the kid just fine but when they encounter an adult they just stare so the animatronics the toys specifically started acting up on day four the day before night four reading between the lines we can interpret that perhaps the same incident that led to these rumors to become an investigation may have led to the animatronics now being in this angered state phone guy did say they're connected to a criminal database so maybe now that the police are involved and a criminal has been entered into the database regarding missing kids at Freddy's maybe now they're on high alert about all adults in the building um hey uh keep a close eye on things tonight okay uh from what I understand the building is on lockdown uh no one is allowed in or out you know okay so the location is now basically an active crime scene got it especially concerning any previous employees well we know about One previous employee the previous week's Night Guard turned they guard who has our back he's a suspect obviously but he hasn't been arrested which means he might try to come back um when we get it all sorted out we may move you to the day shift the position just became available again this shows that the dayshift guard is probably guilty and was fired uh we don't have a replacement for your ship yet but we're working on it uh we're going to try to contact the original restaurant owner I think the name of the place was fredbears Family Diner or something like that it was closed for years though I doubt we'll be able to track anybody down okay so now we have a new name fredbear's Family Diner and its original owner who for now we'll just call the owner fredbears Family Diner is not the location where the MCI happened that was explicitly referred to as being a Freddy Fazbear's Pizza so you have fredbears family d Freddy Fazbear's Pizza number one where the MCI happened Freddy Fazbear's Pizza number two where we are right now and Freddy Fazbear's Pizza number three where the original game took place all right so you beat night five and you get your paycheck Jeremy Fitzgerald $15.50 dated November 12th 1987 was that The Bite of 87 this game doesn't just take place before The Bite of 87 it takes place right before the bite this screen recontextualizes the game and should definitely cause fear in anyone playing it because you know that the bite is now right around the corner but this screen also does something else important the fifth night is November 12th the same date as the fifth night in FNAF 1 but now we know for sure that it's 1987 and November 12th 1987 was a Thursday that makes the next day Friday the 13th it also means that weeks at Freddy fazbears go Sunday to Thursday not Monday to Friday and that makes sense my my job my real day job get paid on Thursdays a lot of places have the weekend on Friday but it's not like a hard and fast rule it's not a law the Assumption was that in FNAF one the fifth night was Friday but it's not it's Thursday that makes the sixth night Friday and the seventh Saturday making the whole week run from Sunday to Saturday so that means we know that in the original FNAF we're looking for a year where November 12th is a Thursday and in 1992 November 12th is a Thursday and this probably is not some rcon it makes perfect sense that when Scott was making FNAF 1 he intended the week it took place to have a Friday the 13th the community thinks that FNAF 1 takes place in 1993 because Matt Pat said it did he got that date one assuming that they would get paid on a Friday and two because that's when the real life shooting took place this first assumption is just an assumption and textual evidence from FNAF 2 just completely disproves it and then the second one is is wrong the reason people say 93 is cuz Matt Pat said it 10 years ago and it just stuck hello hello uh what on Earth are you doing there didn't you get the memo uh the place is closed down at least for a while someone used one of the suits we had a spare in the back a yellow one someone used it now none of them are acting right okay this is this is a lot to throw at us we're not just on lockdown we're closed evidence was found that somebody used a suit in the back a spare one a yellow one the newspapers in F1 say that somebody lured the kids in the back for the MCI using a mascot costume but remember in the MCI they didn't find the bodies so this is a different crime and who pulled it off the daytime security guard the old suits the withered suits from the first location well they're already stuffed they're smelly and rotten and haunted the MCI already happened so this is more dead kids question mark phone guy still doesn't say anything about dead kids just that one of the suits was used and that there was some sort of crime what was it though I I I guess we'll see the final phone call finishes like this listen Ju Just finish your shift it's safer than trying to leave in the middle of the night uh we have one more event scheduled for tomorrow a birthday you'll be on day shift wear your uniform stay close to the animatronics and make sure they don't hurt anyone okay uh for now just make it through the night uh when the place eventually opens again I'll probably take a night shift myself so tomorrow Jeremy is going to be on the dayshift for one last party the last party that's going to happen at this location and we know it's pre- Bite of 87 because the animatronics walk around during the day and tomorrow is the last opportunity for that to happen and Jeremy is going to stay close to the animatronics which aren't acting right and don't like adults ladies and gentlemen Jeremy is going to get bit he's going to lose his frontal lobe tomorrow The Bite of 87 happens after night 6 what's interesting is that in FNAF 1 phone guy refers to it as The Bite of 87 which implies one that there's more than one bite and two implies that it's the most important event that happened around this time nobody would call it the bite of 87 if there were five murders the same week I don't think anybody would be saying oh yes The Bite of 87 of course if the week before an ex-employee had killed multiple kids in the store but we'll get back to that now I'm going to talk about those 8bit Atari mini game also called Death mini games when you die when you get a game over they have a random chance to appear there are four mini gamess in all and they tell a very disjointed but important Story Each game is referred to by the fans by the text that appears on the screen when you play them this is take cake to the children that's clearly not its title that's its instructions but there you go you play as Freddy and you have him take cake to kids in the background a deep robotic voice is reciting letters save him outside the building is a child crying a car pulls up and a purple man walks out killing the child then drives away the puppet then jump scares you this mini game depicts the murder of the child that possesses the puppet by this purple man the next mini game is Foxy go go go you play as foxy running out of Pirates Cove you run to a group of kids and confetti goes off you do this two more times but on the third time a purple man with a smile watches you run to the right and find five dead kids on the floor you are then jump scared by foxy these are the five MCI kids the ones killed at the first Freddy's pizza we know this does take place in the FNAF 2 location because FNAF 2 does not have a Pirates Cove this is the original murders before the kids get stuffed the presence of Pirates Cove is further evidence that the original Pizzeria is the same from FNAF 1 the next game is give gifts give life you play as the puppet in a room of four dead kids now we're told that five kids went missing in the MCI from the newspapers in FNAF 1 and we've seen five kids killed in the restaurant and one outside of it we also have six haunted animatronics Freddy Bonnie Chica foxy golden Freddy and the puppet the puppet goes around to the dead kids and gives them gifts within the lore of the in Universe Freddy's the puppet is supposed to do this the puppet gives presents to kid at the prize counter they exchange tickets for prizes and the puppet presents them but when the gifts don't work on the dead kids the puppet gives them life the puppet puts their spirits in the suits it's unclear If this means the puppet is Who stuff the kids in the suits or if purple guy did it to hide the bodies that has not been cleared up to this very day but either way the animatronics came to life because of the puppet in the background the robotic voice is spelling out help them once you give the last child life golden Freddy jump scares you but for a moment before the jump scare a fifth body appears on the floor there you go six dead kids one killed outside five killed inside each one possessing the original animatronics from FNAF 1 and the outside kid possessing the puppet there's only one more miname it's called save them you play as withered Freddy in the FNAF 2 location you can tell because the map is the same as the one you see on your cameras that means this miname takes place long after the other ones the m c i has already happened the animatronics were possessed and now the second Pizzeria was opened the voice spells out save them chica foxy and Bonnie's withered suits are in the back but around the restaurant are puddles of blood and bodies the box that houses the puppet is open the toy animatronics are standing on their stage mangle is moving around already animated golden Freddy sits slumped in a corner there are five bodies to find but six puddles of blood mangle is already moving around already brought to life somehow the five bodies will now possess balloon boy toy chica toy Freddy toin body and endoskeleton and the sixth puddle of blood implies a possible sixth body under the table where JJ sides mangle is already possessed that's why he's walking around I really can't think of a reason to have specifically him move around when the others can't unless there's a real reason and we'll get back to that much later the issue with this clear implication from the game is that it's wrong as withered Freddy you walk around the building until you are jump scared by Purple Guy the game will also end if you touch various objects like the puppet's open box you can also see the puppet floating around but the point is clear purple guy has killed killed again these aren't the five MCI kids who were killed and put into suits at the previous location this is five or six new murders purple guy is back at it again at the present day killing kids within the two-e period in which the FNAF 2 location is open now here's the issue this clearly implies the toys are possessed by these kids but they're not I think the purple guy intended to have these kids possess the toy animatronics but it didn't work these dead FNAF 2 kids are never named we never see them again in the entire franchise they are for all intents and purposes unimportant we also explicitly see the puppet give life to the original five murder victims we never see the puppet give life or help possess the toy animatronics we'll talk about purple guy's motivations for killing later but I think he wanted to test possession and it does not work the community calls this event the dead children's incident or DCI because a bunch of kids are dead but just like the missing children incident I don't think the bodies are found I think the incident is just the kids went missing obviously it's confusing to call them both the missing children incident but in the original the purple guy lured kids to the back room while the building was in operation whereas this time he's kidnapping kids from around town so I think this one should be called the kidnapped children's incident the KCI there's also a legitimate group of people who don't think that the DCI even happened because it's never brought up again and that this is a is a metaphor or something okay so now we have all of the events in the game so so what is the timeline what is the actual story on night three phone guy mentions rumors rumors you might have heard lately she says lately which to me makes it seem like it's been at least a few days since these rumors would have started spreading phone guy seems legitimately shook when the police investigation starts so I don't think that the rumors are that five kids were killed in the restaurant a few days ago I think it's something else I think that what's happening is the kids are disappearing around town bone says things are happening quote out there that whatever is going on out there outside the restaurant and kids go missing occasionally maybe they ran away or maybe it's a kidnapping it is tied to Freddy somehow probably because some witnesses saw someone using a yellow suit a Freddy suit luring the kids away or possibly because the kids who were kidnapped all visited Freddy's the day before they died or something there was a real life murder a mass shooting a few years ago and the evil IND indidual who carried out this shooting was obsessed with the character from the Nickelodeon show Danny Phantom and he thought that he was killing people for her and when he shot himself at the end of the ordeal he thought he would be joining her in the Ghost World I think that if people were to Hound Nickelodeon for comment they would say something to the effect of whatever is going on out there however tragic it may be has nothing to do with our establishment I think it's reasonable that people know the disappearances are Freddy's related but they don't know that the perpetrator is the security guard the way the save them miname is set up I think it's pretty clear that this is at night the building is not open to the public there's no one around to see the murders I think this is happening at night meaning it happened when purple guy was still the night security guard it happened a day or two before we started our job that doesn't mean all the kidnappings happened in one night but it's likely that the actual killing of the kids happened close together purple guy kidnaps some kids around town hides them at Freddy's kills them one night to try to experiment with possession cleans up the blood and bodies by the morning and because the puppet and withered Freddy are chasing him around the building he complains about the conditions he's also done his murders anyway so he's satisfied so he gets switched to the day shift then you come in Jeremy the withereds which funi said should not be able to move around uh those older ones shouldn't be able to walk around well they come after you I think this indicates that they've been awoken from their apathetic Slumber after these new murders and are now coming for you either because you're an adult or because you're in a security guard uniform I don't think the withereds were active before these murders that's that's what I'm implying a few days pass the police actually come and investigate on night four is when the toys start acting weird to adults so as I said earlier I think the criminal database has been updated and now they're looking for a killer the place is going to shut down for a few days for this investigation but I don't think anything is has been found yet a night five the building is on lockdown the purple guy is a suspect I think that day they found traces of blood and the security guard is the suspect so he ran for it the kidnapped kids have now been directly tied to Freddy's and specifically this location but the method hasn't been confirmed yet night 6 is when everything has come to light purple guy used an old suit a yellow one and now none of them are acting right I don't think that means that now on night 6 none of them are acting right I think phon guy has retroactively realized that none of the suits have been acting right since the murders once again explaining why the withereds are walking around at this point in time we are aware of two suits that are old and yellow that's golden Freddy and withered chica however neither of them are suits they're animatronics in real life Chuck-E-Cheese there are animatronics that perform on stage and there are also the mascot suits worn by the staff to walk around we know that suits exist at Freddy's because someone wore a mascot suit to lure kids to the back room for the MCI but we don't see these suits we only see animatronics we have cameras that can basically look everywhere and there are no mascot costumes so even though he says that it was an old yellow suit I don't think we were ever supposed to think that it was golden Freddy or Chica the answer will be revealed in FNAF 3 but people try to say it was either Scott's intention when FNAF 2 came out that it was golden Freddy or that we were supposed to think it was golden Freddy and I completely disagree those are animatronics not suits a few more important things to note in take cake to the children and Foxy go go go purple guy is just purple but in save them he's wearing a badge a security Shield shaped badge so he was a security guard when this happened which we know but I think this means he was not a security guard when he killed the one kid outside or when he killed the first five kids by Foxy the puppet also has tear tracks on his face which is similar to how dead children are usually shown with tears I already mentioned it but mangle is the only animatronic during save them that is moving withered Bonnie and wither chica don't move the toys don't move only mangle I think that's kind of important and we'll get back to that so that's the gameplay in the story of FNAF 2 but there's more to go over for one we didn't talk about the ending yet after beating night 6 the night before jemy gets bitten we get a newspaper clipping detailing what is clearly The Bite of 87 the toys are are getting scrapped and the withereds are going to be repaired and used for a possible reopening that of course being the location in FNAF 1 Believe It or Not when the game first came out there was a lot of debate about whether it was a sequel or a prequel despite the phone guy being alive and it also directly stating that it's in 1987 all right now let's talk about night 7 with Jeremy getting crunched on after night 6 there has to be a new security guard on night 7 and there is there is no phone call this time phone guy said he'd be taking the position after us but we know this isn't phone guy much like in FNAF 1 the night seven guard gets fired at the end of the night his name is Fritz Smith he's fired for tampering with the animatronics and odor with a note pointing out that it's his first day he's fired for the same reason as Mike Schmidt which is interesting he's also labeled as employee number three indicating that purple guy was one Jeremy was two and Fritz is three we know he's not phone guy because he got fired and phone guy does not get fired now we're going to talk about the Easter eggs just like in the first game there's a chance to see golden Freddy in FNAF 2 you can find withered golden Freddy slumped on the floor his withered State implies that he is a physical animatronic who gets fixed up after FNAF 2 and before FNAF one he's not just a ghostly Apparition he's a physical animatronic that still exists and is being moved from location to location you can also be killed by his head flying down the hallway which indicates more that he does have super Supernatural Powers phasing in and out of existence is not his only ability in the background of the party room there's these little guys made out of paper plates and they can just kind of disappear and reappear in the office I don't know what that means for the lore I already talked about JJ and the naked endoskeleton but there's also Shadow Freddy Shadow Freddy is just like golden Freddy but he's all black in a in an otherworldly type of way then there's Rick FASA or Shadow Bonnie Shadow Bonnie appears in the office looks extremely Terri terrifying and I hate him he's made out of toy Bonnie's model you can tell by the segmented ears and the curved section of the Torso but he has human teeth instead of toy Bonnie's buck teeth unlike golden Freddy and even Shadow Freddy this guy never gets any explanation in future games and the fact that he's based on toy Bonnie makes him even more confusing for now the only thing to note is that there's a ghostly black void in the shape of golden Freddy and a black ghostly void in the shape of toy Bonnie also people have tried finding meeting in the name Rick FASA but likely it means nothing all those letters are grouped together on the left side of the keyboard and Scott probably just mashed the keyboard with one hand to name the file now we're going to talk about the reception and the real world events after FNAF 2 let's talk about matpat again Matt Pat's video about FNAF 2 attempted to solve the identity of the purple guy keep in mind at this point in the story there are arguably six characters there's Mike the guard from the first game Jeremy the guard from the second second game Fritz the night s guard the original owner of fredbears Family Diner purple guy and phone guy Matt concluded that purple guy is phone guy purple guy is not phone guy the murderer was in fact a completely different character he was the murderer and that's it I don't think this was a bad Theory at the time but it started a habit that formed in the community of trying to solve Mysteries both before all the evidence is available and also using every single piece of evidence nothing in the game can be random and everything said or shown must be a clue this would come back to haunt Matt Pat and the community Matt Pat also claimed that this part of purple guy Sprite was a phone and and just no it's [Music] not FNAF 3 was to be the end of the trilogy on Scott's website he often uploaded teaser images of upcoming games and the first look we got of the new games animatronic was this an image of the character bathed in Shadow with the text I am still here the source code of the website included the text I remain source code in case you're unfamiliar is what you see when you hit F12 on your keyboard you get a lot of data about the programming of the website and can see parts of its code it's very easy to put plain text within source code and have it have no effect on the actual web page Scott will often hide stuff in the source code of his Pages going forward on January 26th 2015 the trailer for FNAF 3 was released it showed a decrepit building and some text appeared sporadically throughout you're watching it on screen now he will come back he always does who is he well it it's it's purple guy he killed two Freddy's locations already obviously so now he wants to come back the text we have a place for him is followed by a yellow Bonnie suit twitching on the floor it's rotting and full of gashes and holes when the game eventually launched in March of 2015 it came with an interesting and very divisive description on Steam 30 years after Freddy Fazbear's Pizza closed its doors the events that took place there have become nothing more than a rumor in a childhood memory but the owners of Fazbear's fright the horror attraction are determined to revive the legend and make the experience as authentic as possible for patrons going to Great Lengths to find anything that might have survived Decades of neglect and ruin at first there were only empty shells a hand a hook an old paper plate doll but then a remarkable Discovery was made the attraction now has one animatronic okay we need to break this down because it's stupidly complicated okay so Fazbear Freight exists it's like a a theme park horror tour attraction it's not actually a Freddy's location the building isn't real it's just full of memorabilia specifically that teleporting paper plate Scott what what does the paper plate mean obviously the hook of the game is that there's an animatronic that was brought in and we know it's haunted so we know that this horror attraction now has an actually real haunted animatronic the issue with this description comes in its opening line 30 years after Freddy Fazbear's Pizza closed its doors the events that took place there have become nothing more than a rumor in a childhood memory I don't know what your first thought was reading that but no matter what you believe it is very vague most people interpret this to mean that the game is set 30 years after FNAF 1 at the end of FNAF 1 we're told that the restaurant will close by Year's End there's no reason to think that there was ever another Freddy Fazbear's Pizza after that so the company closed its doors of its final restaurant in 1992 that would make this game set in 2022 keep in mind a lot of people think FNAF one is 1993 therefore they think that this game would be set in 2023 but they are wrong but that's not how I ever interpreted this line and I am very confused used by this line of logic the line is Freddy Fazbear's Pizza closed its doors the company is not Freddy Fazbear's Pizza it's Fazbear entertainment if it said Fazbear entertainment closed its stores like the company dissolved then yes sure this definitely means when the final restaurant closed but saying the restaurant closed its doors just means that a restaurant shut down three Freddy Fazbear's pizzas have shut down the original after the MCI in 1985 the second one after the kidnapped kids and The Bite of 87 in 1987 and then the FNAF 1 location in 1992 the thing is that the events that took place there doesn't really make a lot of sense if it's talking about the FNAF 1 location or if it means multiple different locations it would have to be talking about multiple locations if it's talking about the murders in ' 85 and also the final closing in '92 no events took place in the FNAF 1 location except for phone guys death and I'm assuming that Fazbear entertainment would have covered that up that location shut down because it was a failed business it's the only location where there were no murders if the public is going to have rumors or a legend about a pizzeria it's going to be the original location the second location was only open for 2 weeks so I wouldn't say there's a lot of childhood memories that were made there the location with the childhood memories and the rumors and the Legends is the original Pizzeria the one that was open for a long time was not a smaller budget rotting decrepit place like FNAF 1 and actually had the murders in it that's what a company would want to replicate and advertise as a horror attraction because of the ambiguity of what Freddy Fazbear's Pizza closed its doors means I think all three interpretations are valid but it makes so much more sense to me that it's talking about the location that people would remember fondly from their childhood and where the murders happened in my opinion the most compelling piece of evidence is that 30 years after the final pizzeria closed its doors would be 2022 which is just a completely random date the game came out in 2015 it would make no sense for Scott to just decide that it takes place 7 years in the future it's not like there's futuristic technology it's not like we needed time to pass so that narratively characters can grow up it's actually criticized by the fans that there's this 30-year gap between games where nobody is trying to hunt down purple guy but if it's 30 years after the first pizzeria closed its doors in 1985 that would mean the game takes place in 2015 the year that the game came out FNAF is a series is all about Nostalgia for chuckecheese and taking childhood memories and childhood trauma and legends about the place and making it now a nostalgic horror entertainment FNAF is a series is literally the real world analog of the horror attraction that Fazbear's frights is trying to be and if that's something that Scott is thematically trying to say with the game than setting it now when the series is being made now in 2015 when the public is interested in horror stories about Chuck-E-Cheese well that makes sense and it doesn't include this weird inclusion that it's seven years in the future and while it doesn't really fix the problem that people have by saying that decades passed between games at the very least it's only 23 years instead of 30 years I am 100% confident that FNAF 1 takes place in 1992 and I am roughly 85% confident that FNAF 3 takes place in 2015 I will continue to go forward with the understanding that that is when the game takes place thank you all for letting me have this rant FNAF 3 opens inside a dingy office although it's probably dingy on purpose you get a call from phone dude who sounds like a teenager and the exact kind of person who would be running a horror attraction for a bigger company like this all right let's take a listen and then break it down hey hey glad you came back for another night I promise it'll be a lot more interesting this time I think this is a meta comment about how you the player are back for another night at Freddy's and that this game will be more interesting than the last two and narratively it is gameplay-wise not so much but in the story of the game this means that it's not your first night on the job the player character has been here for a while and that is interesting we found some some great new relics over the weekend and we're out tracking down a new lead right now so uh let me just update you real quick then you can get to work like the attraction opens in like a week so we had to make sure everything works and nothing catches on fire uh when the place opens people will come in at the opposite end of the building and work their way toward you then past you and out the exit uh yeah you've officially become part of the attraction you'll be starring as the security guard so not only will you be monitoring the people on the camera as they pass through you know to make sure no one steals anything or makes out in the corner but you'll also be a part of the show it'll make it feel really authentic I think this both describes how the game works the yellow Bonnie suit will start on the far end of the building and make its way towards you like he said but it also tells us that the attraction will be open in one week and that there will be people there from Midnight until 6:00 a.m. it will be open while you're there it's a horror attraction so it makes sense but it's a very different job to be a security guard during operation hours compared to a security guard after closing uh now let me tell you about what's new we found another set of drawings always nice eyes and a foxy head which we think could be authentic then again it might just be another crappy cosplay and we found a desk fan very old school metal though so watch the fingers uh uh right now the place is basically just you know flashing lights and spooky props uh I honestly thought we'd have more by now uh if we don't have something really cool by next week we may have to suit you up in a furry suit and make you walk around saying boo but you know like I said we're trying to track down a good lead right now uh some guy who helped design one of the buildings said it was like an extra room that got boarded up or something like that so someone who designed the building and has knowledge of these boarded up rooms has now been introduced into the plot we know it's not the original owner because he disappeared from the company before even phone guy started working there and we know it's not phone guy because he's dead so now we have this new character maintenance man so we're gonna take a peek and see what we can find so they're going to an actual old location and are going to see what's behind the boarded up wall some of this equipment is barely functional yeah I wasn't joking about the fire that that that's a real risk the most important thing you want to watch for is the ventilation look this place will give you the spokesman and if you let that ventilation go offline then you'll start seeing some crazy stuff man keep that air blowing okay keep an eye on things and we'll try to have something new for you tomorrow night this is the longest phone call in the series thus far if you're wondering why I started talking about the game story before the game play it's because there is no gameplay on the first night the one and only animatronic that can kill you golden Bonnie is not in the building yet you cannot lose on night one there is nothing to do except for maybe hunt for Easter eggs but we will get back to that so on to night two hey man okay I have some awesome news for you first of all we found some vintage audio training cassets dude these are like prehistoric I think they were like training tapes for like other employees or something like that so I thought we could like have them playing like over the speakers as people walk through the attraction to then make this feel legit man but I had an even better surprise for you and you're not going to believe this we found one a real one uh uh got to go man uh well look it's in there somewhere I'm I'm sure you'll see it okay I'll leave you with some of this great audio that I found talk to you later man after this phone dude's recording ends one of these ancient cassette tapes starts playing and we never hear from phone dude again then who was phone but then we hear a familiar voice hello hello hello uh welcome to your new career as a performer SL container for Freddy Fazbear's Pizza phone guy is back bro okay so these old cassettes were found at a Freddy's location the same one where they found the animatronic boarded up in the back room obviously these were recorded back before phone guy died before FNAF 1 these are training tapes for an Entertainer a daytime member of staff let's take a listen uh these tapes will provide you with much needed information on how to handle SL climb into SL climb out of mascot costume m mascot costumes we've heard about mascot costumes twice FNAF one said that in the original Freddy's location a guy in a mascot suit lured kids into the back and in FNAF 2 a mascot suit was used in the kidnappings let's go right now we have two specially designed suits that double as both animatronic and suit so please pay close attention while learning how to operate these suits has accidents SL injuries SL deaths SL irreparable and grotesque Ming can occur first we will discuss how to operate the mascots when they are in animatronic form for ease of operation the animatronics are set to turn and walk towards sound view this is an easy and handsfree approach to making sure the animatronics stay where the children are for maximum entertainment SL crowd pleasing value to change the animatronics to suit mode insert and turn firmly the hand crank provided by the manufacturer part of this is gameplay information you use sound cues to lure the animatron away from you in the game but it also gives us the important context that some suits that might be yellow can also look like animatronics golden Freddy is one of these suits that's that's what I'm getting at why is he slumped over why can't he move and walk around like the others because he's in suit mode and this gives the important detail that the manufacturer of the animatronics and Suits is not Fazbear entertainment turning the crank will recoil and compress the animatronic parts around the sides of the suit providing to climb inside please make sure the spring locks are fast and tight to ensure the animatronic devices remain fixed we will cover this in more detail in tomorrow's session remember to smile you are the face of BR Fazbear's Pizza all right so we can stop calling this golden Bonnie this suit is spring lock Bonnie and golden Freddy is spring lock Freddy these are the spring lock suits they're different than normal suits and different than normal animatronics and they're dangerous let's get on to the game game play like I said earlier spring boy here starts on the far side of the building he slowly makes his way towards you and you can use sound CU to lure him back away from you he can crawl through vents or walk in your direction but using sound cues to move him to the furthest point is easy enough there are some issues though looking at the cameras for too long gives you a video error and you have to reset it which takes time you have a limited number of audio LS before you have to reset the sound and there's also a ventilation reset spring baby boy can move while you're looking at him unlike the animatronics in the past games the cameras will turn to static every once in a while and when that happens he can move the game is basically watching him using LS if he moves resetting your systems as fast as possible when needed and not getting jump scared within the building are also Phantom animatronics phone dude said we might see weird things and that's what these are these don't kill you if you see them but they do make a loud noise and force you to reset your ventilation the loud noise will bring springing boy mebob towards you and resetting obviously means you cannot lure him away it's really easy to avoid these jump scares by just not flipping to the very limited cameras that they can appear in or in Foxy's case just slowly turning left when you need to reset everything to make sure he's not there these Phantom animatronics consist both of characters from FNAF 2 like balloon boy and FNAF 1 like the original Foxy now theories try to use this as evidence that the security guard for FNAF 3 three has seen both sets of animatronics those from FNAF 1 and from FNAF 2 this is quite silly the idea is that the nighttime security guard and the final night of FNAF 2 frit Smith and Mike Schmidt are the same person and that they are now also the guard here in FNAF 3 he's seen all of the characters so he is capable of hallucinating all of them and I think this is weak because whether or not there actually hallucinations is up in the air to begin with phone dude says their hallucinations but phone dude and phone guys's calls are always trying to play Down the supernatural elements and on top of that phone dude might think that they're hallucinations when they're actually Phantoms they're Spirits the place is haunted they're actually called The Phantom animatronics they might be ghosts if there's any building that's going to be haunted it's going to be the place where every single piece of surviving Freddy's memorabilia has been gathered and put together and my second reason for thinking this is quite the silly theory is that you don't need to have been a nighttime security guard to be familiar enough with the animatronics from the locations to hallucinate them I have in fact had dreams or nightmares about the cast of The Chuck-E-Cheese animatronic band and I am not a security guard at Chuck-E-Cheese I'm just familiar with the characters in Universe these are beloved Children's Entertainment mascots you don't need to have worked there to know what they look like there were toys there were cartoons this thing has been around for like 50 years at this point the conclusion that this playable character must be Mike because he's seen the older animatronics is complete nonsense with that said the player character is absolutely Mike there's a lot of other evidence for this just not requiring him to have seen the animatronics to hallucinate them you used the wrong equation and got the right answer the game play doesn't really change night to night you get fewer LS spring Bonnie and Clyde moves more often maybe and that's it this is the easiest game in the series so since that's the entire game from a gameplay perspective we're going to get back to the story actually hold on wait wait wait I'm going to play for you spring Bonnie's jump scare you have been warned yeah that was pretty lame between each night as you play you get an Atari miname these do not happen upon death they happen at the end of every night in the first one you as Freddy walk around what is explicitly the FNAF 1 location with water dripping from the ceiling and rats everywhere you keep walking until you see Shadow Freddy who says follow me you follow him to this doorway that did not exist in FNAF 1 and when you try to go into it it says error when you give up and walk away purple guy rushes you and takes you apart ending the mini game this repeats every night with the game giving you control of chica foxy and Bonnie to also follow Shadow Freddy to the doorway and be taken apart by purple guy now and this is stupidly important the Sprite for Freddy has a bow tie and a button Bonnie also has a bow tie and a button the withered animatronics from FNAF 2 have two buttons the rebuilt remodeled versions in FNAF 1 do not have any buttons we know that the withereds were transported to a new location and then refurbished we know that the original Freddy's location where the MCI happened was left to rot and something that has always bugged me is that the newspaper clippings from FNAF 1 that mention the MCI and that the restaurant was going to close or in the FNAF 1 location why would they be there that's not the restaurant that closed that's not the one where the MCI happened unless it is earlier I mentioned that some people think the FNAF 1 location the third Pizzeria is the original Pizzeria where the murders happened remember how we know it's a different location from FNAF 2 cuz it has a Pirates Cove well FNAF 1 has a Pirates Cove so the newspapers being there makes sense this in this mini game is clearly the FNAF 1 location and it's rotting and we know that it's before FNAF 1 because the withereds still have their buttons so if the first and the third Freddy's locations are the same place and these mini games happen after FNAF 2 after the withers are moved back to the smaller location but before FNAF 1 then I believe that purple guy disassembling the animatronics is the reason that they appear dramatically different in FNAF 1 they weren't just refurbished they were rebuilt meaning that purple guy was at the FNAF 1 location before Mike was and when phone guy still worked there these mini games happened after FNAF 2 and before FNAF 1 all right on to the night three phone call uh hello hello uh for today's lesson we will be continuing our training on proper suit handling techniques when using an animatronic as a suit please ensure that the animatronic parts are tightly compressed and fastened by the spring locks located around the inside of the suit it may take a few moments to position your head and torso between these parts in a manner where you can move and speak try not to nudge or press against any of the spring locks inside the suit do not touch the spring locks at any time do not breathe on the spring locks as moisture May loosen them and cause them to break loose in the case that the spring locks come loose while you wearing a suit please try to maneuver away from populated areas before bleeding out as to not ruin the customer experience as always if there is ever an emergency please go to the designated safe room every location is built with one extra room that is not included in digital map layouts programmed into the animatronics or security system this room is hidden to customers invisible to animatronics and is always off camera as always remember to smile you are the face of Freddy Fazbear's te these spring lock suits are mildly terrifying like in the first game it says you're going to be shoved into a suit and it shows you with your eyes popped out if you lose and like yeah yeah yeah that's spooky but a company purposefully putting you in in a suit that can impale you with tiny metal Springs all over your body if you breathe wrong or if you sweat on it that is horror if a robot catches me and drags me to a suit and then yeah like yeah okay I'm going to be impaled I'm dead that's fine but the horror intention of being inside an Iron Maiden for hours for your entire shift maybe it's because I'm claustrophobic but that just gives me so much anxiety this also tells us what the doorway in the mini games is it's a safe room that the animatronics are programmed not to see that's why they get an error and it's not on cameras which is why we didn't see it INF FNAF 1 the jump from night three to night four tapes is highly contested let's listen to the first part uh hello hello hello uh there's been a slight change of company policy concerning use of the suit um don't after learning of an unfortunate incident at the sister location involving multiple and simultaneous spring lock failures the company has seemed the suit temporarily unfit for employees okay so the first three phone calls were training tapes they were pre-recorded and likely played for every new employee in the business this tape is more like a memo on that day whatever day this happened the spring lock suits spring locked a guy and phone guy had to record this message for various reasons I think this happened before FNAF 1 and 2 putting it in the era of the first Freddy's location INF finf 2 and remember that location was only open for 2 weeks INF to F guy mentions how the kidnapped children's incident was done by someone using an old yellow suit that means that these spring lock suits were considered old and probably outdated by the time of FNAF 2 meaning that this incident took place in the first Freddy's pizzeria we also get a mention of a sister location that means another restaurant owned by Fazbear entertainment and this is really annoying because it means there another restaurant we don't know about we know about fredbear's Family Diner but funi barely remembers that existed and he doesn't know its name for Sharon FNAF 2 so there's no way that that is the sister location but there is a pizzeria somewhere out there that has these spring lock suits owned by Fazbear before FNAF 2 likely in 1985 or earlier during the time of the original restaurant and they had spring lock suits but don't anym let's keep listening safety is top priority at Fray Fazbear's Pizza which is why the Classic Suits are being retired to an appropriate location while being looked at by our technicians until placements arve you will be expected to wear the temporary costumes provided to you keep in mind that they were found on very short notice so questions about appropriateness SL relevance should be deflected I repeat the Classic Suits are not to be touched activated or worn that being said we are free of liability do as you wish as always remember to smile you are the face of Freddy Fazbear's P so the suits are being taken away and technicians likely from the manufacturer are going to work on them other suits non spring lock suits not animatronics but mascot suits costumes are going to be brought in phone guy also calls the spring lock suits Classic Suits so it's not like when he recorded these tapes they were a new invention they were classic they were old also there's these new suits and they are not relevant or appropriate put a pin in that for the next several hours until we touch upon that topic again on T night 5 we have another jump in time another Memo from phone guy hello hello um this is just a reminder of company policy concerning the safe room the safe room is reserved for equipment and or other property not being currently used and as a backup safety location for employees only this is not a break room should not be considered a place for employees to hide and or congregate and under no circumstance should a customer ever be taken into this room and out of the main show area management has also been made aware that the spring Bonnie animatronic has been noticeably moved and would like to remind employees that this costume is not safe to wear under any circumstances thank you and remember to smile you are the face of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza if the spring lock issue happened yesterday then I don't think the spring Bonnie suit being moved would have been noticed by management at least to my ear this sounds like it's been decommissioned for a little while and then one day randomly it was moved phone guy also says not to lead customers to the safe room we know that purple guy in a mascot suit and I'm going to drop the pretense he was in the spring Bonnie suit purple guy as spring Bonnie brought people into that room but that was caught on camera and the police used it as evidence if we had camera footage of spring Bonnie leading people there bone guy wouldn't have said the suit was noticeably moved he would have known it was moved we would have had footage of somebody using it I don't think this is an indication that the MCI already happened before this memo was recorded I think this is what inspired purple guy to take kids back there he was already using the spring suit when he wasn't supposed to and remember of the five dead kids only some of them were being brought into the back room meaning he killed some of them before that using a different method I think he took the suit did his first killing and then after this memo realized he could start using the back room if the main part of the MCI had happened and kids were being lured into the restaurant I think that would have been noted after you beat night 5 you're greeted with the final follow me miname the core four animatronics were all disassembled so now you play as a child a ghost of one of the kids and you make your way to the safe room past the broken animatronics finally through that door inside are four more ghosts and purple guy in a panic we know there are five haunted animatronics with golden Freddy being the fifth but golden Freddy wasn't disassembled meaning that the disassembling of the animatronics did not free these ghosts golden Freddy's child was able to walk around freely without being disassembled meaning that that has no influence on their ghostin and this explains why they're able to repossess the animatronics for FNAF 1 so the ghost chases purple guy around for a bit there are these Square things on the ground some people think they're boxes some people think they're arcade cabinets fun guy did say that they put unused things back here so either one of those examples Works some people think that they're safes like this is the safe room where safes are but phone guys specifically said it was for employee safety this is the safety room not the safe room in the corner is the spring Bonnie suit now we don't know if it's been sitting there since 1985 in the MCI or if it was brought from the FNAF 2 location in '87 but golden Freddy was brought to the FNAF 2 location and phone guy says someone used an old yellow suit for the kidnap children incident so I'm guessing that yes it was moved around when different locations closed and reopened purple guy theoretically hasn't worn this suit since the kidnappings in FNAF 2 back in 1987 but he gets into it now many people interpret this as him getting into the suit he wore when he killed the kids to scare the ghosts others look at the actual gameplay and say that wearing a Freddy mask in FNAF 2 tricked the haunted animatronics so purple guy might be wearing this costume to trick the ghosts I don't buy that at all the animatronics when possessed act like animatronics they perform during the day they stuff you when they catch you because it's against the rules spring Bonnie himself in this game is set to follow sound so he can be where the party is if the spirit inside the suit was in control he would not be forced to follow those sound cues the animatronics think like animatronics so yes the mask stops them but there's no reason to think it would stop these ghosts anyway purple guy gets spring locked the water dripping down causes a failure in the spring locks and he gets dead A fitting end to this murdering psychopath except it's not the end obviously we've been facing off against spring Bonnie this whole game this mini game took place decades ago and the animatronic is now haunted spring Bonnie is purple guy and he's not spring Bonnie he's spring trap because you got trapped in the spring lock suit the animatronic rabbit has a corpse inside of it in fact you can actually see that in game especially on these secret screens that's rotting skin and senu and that is his skull that is purple guy rotting inside of there and he was in there during the entirety of FNAF 1 he's been in there for decades and now he's back because he comes back he always does the night 6 phone call explains how that all came to be hello hello uh this is just to inform all employees that due to budget restrictions the previously mentioned safe rooms are being sealed at most locations including this one or Crews will be here most of the day today constructing a false wall over the old door face nothing is being taken out beforehand so if you left anything inside then it's your own fault management also requests that this room not be mentioned to family friends or Insurance Representatives thanks again and remember to smile you are the face of Freddy Fazbear's people the company sealed up the safe room without even looking inside so purple guy spring locked sat there twitching like in the trailer for over 20 years until phone dude talked to a construction guy broke open the barrier and found an animatronic a real one and brought him here to us unbeknownst to the public purple guy the murderer who lured kids to the back room at the original Pizzeria killed them stuffed them in suits to hide the bodies purple guy who was arrested but released when those bodies weren't found purple guy who came back to the restaurant when it reopened in a new location got hired as a security guard so he could kidnap and kill more kids and got away with it again purple guy was trapped by the very ghosts of the kids and forced to sit in agony for 23 years inside of a suit unable to truly die it's an ironic twist of fate but it's exactly what he deserved at the end of the game there's no paycheck no pink slip the attraction Burns To The Ground like phone dude said it might springtrap likely perished in that Blaze and is gone now finally the police haven't ruled out Foul Play meaning it might have been the security guard setting it on fire on purpose but because of the faulty wiring his crime will likely go undetected a few items will be sold at public auction meaning there's a chance for the curse to remain but if you brighten the image you can see springtrap perfectly visible he did survive and that is the story of FNAF three except not really at all we barely started Jesus this is where the story gets tricky that's right the game where we can't even agree when it happens with phone guide tapes that were recorded who knows when where some tapes were memos and some were audio trainings we don't know where or when any of this is now is when it gets confusing beating night five rewards you with this screen bad ending what what the [ __ ] turns out that Scott was a little little bit upset that people kept finding all his little Easter eggs and solving the game so quickly I should mention that every game has an ultimate mode where you can set the AI to their maximum level and Scott could never beat those modes himself he released the games not knowing if it was even possible and each time it proved to be possible so this time I guess Scott wanted to make the search for insane Easter eggs part of the game before we get to that we're going to go over the normal Easter eggs like occasionally Shadow Freddy will appear in the office and and that is just absolutely the worst thing I've ever seen some of the posters change just like the other games and these teleporting paper plates are back now let's get to the completely baffling nonsensical way that you're supposed to beat FNAF 3 so in those end of night follow me mini games I talked about earlier there is one hallway that will consistently have different hints in it the first night the hint is BB DB click clearly this means that on the first night you're supposed to go to camera eight and double click on the poster of balloon boy this takes you to balloon boy's Air Adventure as balloon boy you gather up some balloons and exit through the through the exit except you might notice that that's not all of the balloons in the level there's one more so you start night one again you double click the poster again and you get all the balloons and then you jump through this wall which has absolutely no indication that it's not solid and you fall and if you keep walking you'll find the final balloon if you enter the mini game again you'll find that these balloons you found now form a floating platform you can hop on to find a dead child you cannot interact with this child at all now if you go back to the follow me mini game in the exact same hallway you might notice some boxes with some arrows in them this obviously is a hint that you need to find the arcade cabinet on Camera 7 and input the code on the buttons in the machine in order to enter mangle's Quest mangle needs to find his missing parts and avoid this mean bully so he jump around and you find the parts and then you go out the exit except no we've learned you don't go out the exit instead you jump through this wall fall down past giant crying puppet and find a ladder of balloons these balloons would not have been there if we did not gather them in the balloon boy mini game so you jump up all the balloons and then you find a cake now clearly since we are super Geniuses we can deduce that since the balloons from balloon boy Adventures carry over to mangle's Quest that means the cake from mangle's Quest probably carries back over to balloon boy Adventure so we double click on the poster and we go through again we get all the balloons we jump through the wall we go up the balloon path find the dead child and then we give him the cake and now he's a happy little dead boy the next night when doing the follow me mini game you'll find a picture of four cupcakes this means that you have to search every camera in the building and find four cupcakes and click on them and then you get to start chica's party in chica's party you specifically play as toy chica you need to grab cupcakes and give them to children but we know better than to exit the mini game so instead we're going to jump through the wall land on one of the red balloons and find another child to give the cake to also you can't do this without first having done the balloon boy game on the next night the clue is 395248 and uh and this one this one this one gave people a lot of trouble on the first time you had to double click balloon boy that's weird second one you have to put in the Konami Code into this arcade cabinet that's weird third one you got to find some hidden cupcakes but this one you need to click on the wall tiles in the office arrange in a 3X3 grid like a phone keypad and click 395248 you need to dial it onto the wall tiles you got to dial the tile this unlocks stage 01 in stage 01 golden Freddy and golden Bonnie or spring Bonnie and spring Freddy or spring Bonnie and fredbear whatever they have so many names but technically this is fredbear and spring Bonnie even though I think it should be fredbear and Bun Bonnie but no one cares what I think so here's a small stage and a small restaurant these two old costumes were used back at fredbears Family Diner which is where this game clearly is set this is the location before the location where the MCI happened so if you glitch through the walls in the ceiling and then you do all of this nonsense [Music] [Music] you'll reach a child and give them cake now if you take a second and you think hm this is weird the first child was helped by balloon boy and the second by mangle and the third by toy chica specifically toy chica maybe that means they were killed at the second Freddy's location maybe this child was killed at fredbear's Family Diner no that's the exact kind of detail that drives people crazy and makes them try to shove Square pegs into round holes everyone knows it only works the other way around semicircle the the semicircle that's right it's the square hole next night the hint is Shadow Bonnie and on that night a doll of Shadow Bonnie appears in your office and now you're playing as good old Rick FASA you glitch your way through other mini games until you find a child and give him cake now the last thing to do is to click on this poster of the puppet because duh and you enter into happiest day as a child wearing a mask of the puppet you pass by various tables with kids sitting at them wearing masks that we've never seen before a green alligator a pink pig a purple thing a blue Pig and orange bird then at the end of the hall are four kids in masks of Freddy chica foxy and Bonnie and a crying child with no mask if you did all the games correctly then the puppet will give the child a cake he will put on the fredbear or golden Freddy mask and then they will all vanish leaving their masks behind and freeing their balloons or souls to rise to the [Music] sky what was that like we get it there were a lot of murders kid outside fredbears is the puppet the MCI kids are the core four and then there's golden Freddy the other five are probably the five kids from FNAF 2 with the KCI in the save them mini game but like but like what what what is this if you proceed to the end of the final night again you see the ghosts all hun down purple guy maybe it makes sense now that the animatronics are disassembled and they've all had this little party and that's why they can manifest as ghosts and attack purple guy and kill him and then all go to heaven except that's totally not what happens the end screen now shows that the masks do not have lights in them they are empty the souls are gone for some reason in the bad ending screen the way the masks are positioned makes it look like there are two lights inside golden Freddy on the good ending screen golden Freddy isn't there at all there are some questions about when happiest day takes place if the kids join up and move on on the day that purple guy is spring locked then the animatronics wouldn't have been haunted for FNAF 1 it seems like it probably happens when FNAF 3 happens but that's also kind of weird because why would they move on the moment that springtrap is freed it's also argued whether or not the puppet is actually in FNAF 3 there are Phantoms which we know are not physical beings but the puppet seems real Matt Pat pointed out in one of his videos that there's a reflection in this puddle which seems to indicate that the puppet is probably real if the puppet is still possessed then happiest day cannot have happened yet that makes me pretty confident to put happiest day in the children's Souls getting freed after FNAF 3 meaning that the scene of the ghosts attacking purple guy had nothing to do with happiest day and that also makes sense cuz it's very heavily implied that what is haunted about the animatronics are the endoskeletons there are multiple costumes and outer casings in the back room of FNAF one for all the characters so it's not the casings that are possessed it's the endoskeleton I really don't think there's a correlation between purple guy getting springed and happiest day except for the fact that they're both told in FNAF 3 it does bring a whole new meaning to Shadow Freddy though purple guy uses him to lure the animatronics to their demise he also appeared in FNAF 2 after those murders happened and he appears in our office in FNAF 3 that thing is evil whatever it is it's clearly some manifestation of purple guy's evil and it's right there golden Freddy in the first game was spooky because these animatronics are trying to kill you but now we know that the animatronics are innocent kids and that they don't really mean to kill us but this thing this thing is legitimately evil and that is FNAF 3 almost we have to bring up the major question which is what were those mini games obviously the security guard us we were not playing those games we weren't sitting there playing angles Quest and somehow affecting events that were happening in the Ghost World right I I don't get it I don't get it all right time to check in on our good buddy mat pad Scotty C certainly didn't make things any easier for us but at this point I think we finally have enough puzzle pieces scattered across the three games to assemble a fairly accurate picture of this franchise's lore you may be wondering wondering why I said that the FNAF timeline and story are so confusing when I have put together a very coherent Story So Far well that's because I have hindsight I know what things and Easter eggs and clues are relevant and which are not I know that purple guy isn't phone guy I know that this murder is purple Guy's first murder and thus it's very easy to place this at fredbear's Family Diner I was able to put things in chronological order because I've had almost 10 years to sit on it when these games first came out you were hit with everything at once if you're playing through FNAF 3 normally you're playing each night and then between each night you're playing something that happened years ago in the follow me mini game then the games end with an event that set the game into Motion in the first place the last thing you play is the first thing that happened and it was the same in FNAF 2 you found out all these murders happened the day before you started working at the end of the game the events are not explained chronologically or even coherently but beyond that there was also Matt pad now I'm not going to say that he was the entire Community because that is simply not true but he did steer the discussion for years discussions either became built on his theories off of his assertions which led to some faulty D janga Tower logic because his assertions were wrong or it led to some contrarians some Paras out there trying to disprove him but they weren't listened to because they disagreed with matad so now we're going to watch some of his post FNAF 3 videos so we can get a good grasp on where the theories were at the time and how how not even close they were this is not Fred Bear Diner like many interpret but rather the first location of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza predating the events of Five Nights at Freddy's 2 how do we know well by paying close attention to the old recordings of phone guy dug up in FNAF 3 he introduces us to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza not Diner before explaining the functionality of the special spring lock suits this isn't true I'm not going to say that this is certainly fredbear's Family Diner but the logic he just used is flawed F guy can make training tapes for suits even years after those suits were invented there's also no reason to think that these are spring lock suits they might just be the fredbear and old Bonnie animatronics which were yellow there's nothing in this mini game that makes it seem like these are spring lock suits after learning of an unfortunate incident at the sister location involving multiple and simultaneous spring lock failures the company has seened the suit temporarily unfit for employees the classic are being retired to an appropriate location now let's pause here two employees are killed by the failure of a Bonnie suit and a Freddy suit I'mma stop you right there phone guy says there was an incident with multiple spring lock failures each suit has multiple spring locks inside of them I think the phrase multiple spring lock failures just means there was a complete failure of the system if one spring lock fails you get stabbed but if all of them fail you get instantly crushed I don't think this even intends to imply that two suits both failed at the same time killing two employees I think it just means that one suit failed catastrophically Matt Pat will go on to use this as evidence that shadow Bonnie and Shadow Freddy are the ghosts of the two employees who were spring locked and that is just not the case but it did limit the discussion of their true identities for years because people just assumed that Matt Pat was correct but remember golden Freddy is a decommissioned spring lock suit at this point de too unsafe to be functional the reason he's slumped over and can't move like the rest is that his endoskeleton has been taken out he's in suit mode this also explains the lone naked endoskeleton that appears occasionally in both five nights 2 and five nights one an endoskeleton that once belonged to Golden Freddy it's not important but this is factually incorrect the endos in FNAF 1 and two are different models also when a spring lock suit is worn the Endo is not taken out it's actually moved to the sides so that there's room for a person to climb inside also in my personal understanding of the series it would be the Endo that is haunted not the casing dude these are like prehistoric I think they were like training tapes in short all of phone gu's messages are unstuck in time not recorded anytime near your tenure as security guard that includes the ones in FNAF 2 talking about children going missing the pizzeria isn't being shut down for an investigation of some missing children the week you happen to be working there you're listening to old tapes meant for the night security guard from months ago again this is just wrong phone guy says he'll be taking over the job after you but if that was recorded a while ago then you wouldn't have this job the paycheck labels you as employee number two and Fritz is employee number three and we know that purple guy was employee number one the newspaper says the location was only open for a few weeks even just with the evidence from FNAF 2 this statement is just so wrong and just looking at it from every possible angle all logic points to it being the phone guy also Matt Pat still thinks phone guy is purple guy consider this he's the only person in the game who knows about the safe rooms as we've mentioned before all the safe rooms were sealed up back in the spring lock suit days back in the first Freddy Fazbear's Pizza location meaning every every other employee coming afterward would have never even heard of these things phone guy is the only character we meet who would have any knowledge of these rooms he's also the only person who knows how to use the spring lock suits again once they were decommissioned the suits were hidden away we know for a fact the killer was using one of the yellow spring locked suits and phone guy is the only character we know who had knowledge of a where they were hidden and B how they were operated safely this part made my brain hurt Matt Pat says phone guy is the only person who knows about the spring lock suits in the safe room then he points out that no employees who work there after him would be told about them and that he's the only character we meet who knows about them that second part is true he is the only character we meet Who would know about them but obviously other people know about the suits phone guy records a memo to tell all the employees about not touching the suits after they've been decommissioned he makes a memo about the room being boarded up Matt just went from F guy is the last person in the group of employees who would know to F guy is the only person who could possibly know obviously the performers who used the suits would know the technicians that took the suits away after they were decommissioned would know and we know that purple guy was an employee I I I don't know if Matt just had a brain fart or if he's grasping at straws but this is literally just a lie he also says that FNAF 1 is an alternate universe where the bad ending happened no I just wanted to talk about this video because it really paints a picture of how people had no idea what was going on at the time and as we move into the next section where I have no idea what's going on I want you to understand how the people who interpreted FNAF 1 as an alternate universe bad ending prequel have no chance of understanding FNAF 4 the Final Chapter FNAF 4 the final chapter is the midpoint of our story today and if you think it's called the Final Chapter because it takes place furthest along in the timeline then no you'd be wrong it's actually the first game in the timeline let's begin the tagline for FNAF 4 which yes was changed changed his name in development it wasn't actually called the Final Chapter we can Goof on that all we want but that was technically not its name when it was released the tagline is what is it that you think you see and I have no idea because this game broke the entire community and to this day nobody can agree on a word of it FNAF 4 released on July 23rd 2015 3 months after FNAF 3 giving it the longest development time so far and this shows this game is fully in 3D with the character actually being able to move one thing it does lack though is any voice lines there is no phone guy in this game and not a single voiced line of dialogue the reason FNAF 4 exists when it was meant to only be a Trilogy is because people complained that springtrap's jump scare was lame and it was so Scott decided to make one more game this time with the scariest jump scares yet I talked at the beginning about how Scott usually makes his next game focusing on the feedback from the previous game and that's why this game features nightmare animatronics they're no longer bound by the expectations that anybody could realistically think these are appropriate for a pizzeria restaurant for kids these are actual nightmares the story reason for these nightmare animatronics is that the game is being told from the perspective of a child who is scared of Freddy's so these monsters are his actual nightmares Scott also promised that this would be the Final Chapter to conclude the story which it did at the time the story had already concluded in FNAF 3 but this game added extra context to everything it took the animal story in these couple games about the Killer and it actually made a very compelling story about The Game's hero the problem is nobody understood that at the time and many probably still don't [Music] [Music] is [Music] [Music] okay so you're playing not as a security guard but as a young boy in his bedroom at night and you must survive away from your nightmares from Midnight until 6: a.m. taking a queue from the original game Bonnie comes from your left chica from your right foxy has a Time based mechanic where he Peaks out from something in this case it's your closet and you have to check up on him every once in a while and Freddy gets behind you in your office or in your bedroom these are freddles and you have to check on them every once in a while to make them go away with your back turned to the rest of the room Bonnie and Chica can get you when you lean out in the door into the hallway you have to listen for breathing if you hear breathing you have to shut the door otherwise you can send them away with your flashlight so just like normal we have a mechanic where you have to check on things to prevent you from just sitting there and doing nothing that being foxy and Freddy and then we have other randomly timed events that you have to ward off until the night ends this is classic FNAF between nights we once again have a tari style mini games like in FNAF 3 these are all about this young crying boy this young crying boy does not have a name some people think his name is Evan but it definitely is not but that is what most people call him there's also evidence for Garrett and Gregory since there's no official name people usually just call him crying child or CC so for the rest of the video I'm going to call him CeCe you see I lied to you I did a little trick the first mini game is actually before night one a small plush toy of fredbear not Freddy fredbear like golden Freddy speaks to us and says what did he do this time he locked you in your room again don't be scared I am here with you now you play a CeCe in his bedroom fredbear plutes on the floor as are plushes of the other Freddy characters with the weird detail that Foxy's head is missing in the actual gameplay sections foxy is not missing his head meaning they either take place before this or this is a different foxy plush a different child's toy Freddy also has a buttons implying that this is the pre FNAF 1 version of the character which I don't think was ever in dispute CC the crying child is crying constantly throughout the entire game if you Walts on over to the plushes CCE will say these are my friends if you try to go out the door you'll find it's locked or blocked from the other side and CeCe will fall over and SOB then a voice will say tomorrow tomorrow is another day this text is the same color that fredbear uses when he speaks what's kind of weird is that fredbear in the first scene in the game does not have any color in his eyes but for the rest of the game he has white eyes after your first night of Defending yourself from Monsters it's time for another miname what you may have noticed is that these two rooms are obviously not the same room this room has two doors this room has one this is not the same room which is very weird 4 days until the party CeCe can leave his room now and walk around the house but not before fredbear warns him that someone is hiding fredbear appears above a grandfather clock in the hallway seemingly able to teleport wherever he wants if you go left you'll walk into a room with a TV a boy in a foxy mask will jump out at you and you start to cry the game ends tomorrow is another day there's nothing in the text conf confirming it but I think we can assume that this is CC's older brother then there's a curveball thrown right at you fun with plush trap so now we enter a mini game where you are sitting in a short hallway with four doors at the end of the hallway is a nightmarish plushy of springtrap sitting in a chair for gameplay reasons the point of this mini game is to get the doll to stop on the X on the floor if you do then your next night is 2 hours shorter but storywise what what a plushy of spring Bonnie existing makes perfect sense there is one of fredbear obviously but the nightmarish appearance of this one makes it seem like this was also a nightmare and it looks kind of like spring trap and it's called plush trap but while it makes sense that a child a child who is not CeCe because the rooms are different but a child would have nightmares about animatronics and have to stay up until morning I don't understand the child who imagines a scary doll in the short hallway I don't know when this takes place 3 days until the party CeCe is crying under table at a Freddy's location he left without you he knows that you hat it here so older brother foxy bro if you will took us to Freddy's and then left us here and CeCe is scared of the restaurant except he thinks the plushes are his friends he's fine with the characters it's the animatronics he's scared of which makes sense because as a child I was also scared of the animatronics at Chuck-E-Cheeses but not the characters the voice of fredbear tells CeCe to run to the exit you are right beside the exit if you run you can make it if you run left he says no don't you remember what you saw the exit is the other way hurry and leave when you then go the correct way a performer in a fredbear costume will walk up to you this is likely a spring lock suit given that there are teeth in the costume as opposed to a mascot suit fredbear the disembodied voice will say it's it's too late hurry the other way and find someone who will help you know what will happen if he catches you on the next screen over we see Shadows on the wall of Bonnie and Freddy these are in animatronic mode because you can't see anything inside of them but it's unclear if these are shadows of figures who are behind the camera behind our perspective or if this gray background isn't a wall but a curtain of some sort and they're on the other side casting a shadow or maybe it's actually shadow Freddy and Rick fisp Pasa as entities coming for us fredbear says you can find help if you can get past them you have to be strong this really does make it seem like they are physically in the way not just somewhere else in the room if you go to the right again you can see into a previously closed door purple guy is standing in the dark a name tag on his shirt this is not a badge it's not in the shield shape we saw back in FNAF 2 this is a normal rectangle name tag and he's helping a performer into a Bonnie suit based on the lack of eyes and teeth this really looks like a normal mascot costume not a springwalk suit it's also mildly weird that the two animatronic characters would be performing on stage while there's another fredbear mascot walking around and now another Bonnie ready to come out if you try to leave the guy in the fredbear suit will follow you you collapse beside or next to a table tomorrow is another day okay let's talk about fredbear plush he's capable of teleporting I guess he speaks to you as if he's a different person he's not foxy bro he's not purple guy he might be an imaginary friend he might be possessed by a ghost white eyes usually mean possession in these games but we can rule out foxy bro and purple guy because they are both visibly on screen doing things when fredbear is talking to Cece two days until the party fun fact the FNAF Wiki actually has this quoted as 2 days before the party despite getting every single other one of these quotes correct the uh the FNAF Wiki is kind of a mess all around anyway this mini game opens still at Freddy's he hates you you have to get up you can get out this time but you'll have to hurry CeCe goes outside to find a boy in a green shirt holding a spring Bonnie plush where's your plush toy mine is spring Bonnie my daddy says I have to be careful with him or I will pinch my finger he is a finger trap he says so that means that in the game he's spring Bonnie Fazbear entertainment is not manufacturing spring trap toys thankfully as that would ruin all sense of time the gross version from the gameplay is just a nightmare and I'm very glad about that and this boy's comment about the plush being a finger trap is is something it probably means something and I guess I'm going to have to talk about it eventually so why not now there's a theory that this game is intended to show that every FNAF game is a dream a nightmare the mini gamess in FNAF 4 being the only real parts of the story with every other game including their mini games being a dream that theory states that this boy saying this to Cece is what inspires CeCe to dream up springtrap for the FNAF three nightmare we're going to put that on the back burner I'll address it all later but I want you to know I don't think this was ever the intention but if that's not the intention of Scott then what does this line mean well spring lock suits already exist so those training tapes phone guy made Might already exist in which case the employees at the peteria already know that they're dangerous could this kid be phone guy's [Music] son no I there there's no evidence for it except for that it makes this line make sense but hey there's no evidence for dream theory except that it makes this line make sense uh so I'm going to go on limb I'm going to say this is phone guy's son head Canon confirmed obviously that's just a joke it's also possible that this is a joke that Scott just put in the game because he knew we would get it but people use this line as key evidence that every single other game is a dream and that is just silly if you go south you'll find this greeneyed girl with pigtails you'll also find fredbear's head sticking out of a flower which is weird and which lends more evidence to to the supernatural Theory or possibly the head is just a representation of the plush there is something plush likee about that flower the greeneyed girl says you'd better watch out I hear they come to life at night and if you die they hide your body and never tell anyone why do you look so worried see you at the party so dream theory really makes this line make a lot more sense like wow this is clearly the reason for cce's nightmare a playground rumor saying that they put your bodies in suits at night except no CC thinks the animatronics are scary now during the day he's not scared of them only at night in fnaf1 when you die you see your eyeballs in the Freddy head meaning that they do actually stuff you in the suit in this game the screen goes red when you get caught in other games the screen cuts to static when you get caught in this game you actually die if this rumor led to the other games being a nightmare then there's no reason why that wouldn't be included in the nightmare of this game the animatronics in this game should also stuff you but no they just kill you you know who knows about the animatronics putting people into suits phone guy in FNAF 2 he says it so nonchalantly that it might happen this is a small town and these kids are always around Freddy's the idea that the animatronics at night might put people in suits because they think their endoskeletons might lead to this kind of rumor an employee being told this at training might leak out to the rest of the town and then kids might hear it and think that the animatronics are actually alive down the sidewalk is an older boy in green aren you the kid who always hides under the table and cries no one else is scared why are you stop being such a baby next to a parked car where just the sliver of fredbear can be seen is a boy with a balloon a balloon boy are you going to the party everyone is going to the party oh wait you have to go it's your birthday so now we know that the days being counted down to are for Cece's birthday presumably at Freddy's which he is scared of dream theory people also think that this boy is what caused CeCe to dream about balloon boy if that was the case and I don't mean to say if that was possible I mean if that's what Scott intended then I would assume the balloon he's holding would at least be the right color and maybe he'd have a hat or a striped shirt obviously it's not that hard to depict a stripe shirt given that CeCe is wearing one then there's this girl playing on a playground with her toys why aren you crying don't you like my toy collection at her feet are toys of Bonnie Chica and Freddy this is obviously a reference to the toy animatronics now dear viewer it may seem as if I'm digging myself into a Hole by denying this dream theory thing it makes a lot of sense it allows CCE to imagine the toy animatronics in FNAF 2 because he saw these toys here one key detail that people point to is that chica is missing her beak we will talk about that later in FNAF 2 chica starts the night with her beak and then removes it when she comes hunting for you clearly this aspect of cce's nightmare as he is dreaming FNAF 2 is inspired by this girl and her broken toys that CeCe saw once right right guys there are two other options one is that the actual toy figure has beak removal functionality like it's part of the Toy's design I find it unlikely that this girl who is so proud of her collection would have just right now broken the beak for the first time and not be upset by it I think it's removable or at least that's possible the second option is that toy chica removes her beak because this toy broke because this girl is an MCI victim who becomes chica I said that I don't think the FNAF 2 animatronics were possessed and I don't I don't think they're possessed by the five children who were murdered in the FNAF 2 location but funy says that the withered animatronics were used for parts for the toys so if chica's metal has the imprint of the life force of a girl who purple guy killed and that metal was then reused in toy chica then maybe she takes off her beak because this girl liked taking off her toys's beak kids these days just can't keep their hands to themselves it's possible the staff had to put chica's beak back on after every shift there were some theories that these kids would all be the MCI victims like this kid is actually possessing balloon boy this one is Freddy but but it's not like this kid becomes springtrap and then there's another theory that this is Jeremy from FNAF 2 so I don't want to overreach and say this is chica but I think that makes more sense than dream theory people like dream theory because it answers everything and is easy dream theory is simple everything else is complex then you walk up to your house and you can go and turn on the TV and if you do it says fredbear and Friends 1983 Scott basically came out to confirm that this means that the game takes place in 1983 obviously if you see a TV show with a copyright date that does not mean that it is currently the year of the copyright date if I'm making a movie and someone is watching The Wizard of Oz that does not mean the movie takes place in the 30s it does mean the movie takes place at least after that year but yeah Scott did come out to confirm that this means that the game takes place in 1983 meaning our timeline of important events will now look like sometime in roughly 1972 the fredbear characters are created 1983 CC's Birthday Bash 1985 the MCI 1987 the kidnapped children's incident in The Bite of 87 1992 FNAF one closes and phone guy dies and 2015 spring trap is Unleashed meaning we are two years away from funai committing his first murder and I got no idea what sets him off and causes that to happen I hope we find out if you go right past your bedroom you'll find the room of a young girl there is a disassembled toy of what appears to be mangle on the floor and this is one of the things that confused a lot of people back in the day people assumed that mangle was invented at the FNAF 2 location putting his creation sometime around 1987 but this technically is not stated anywhere the phone guy line is they tried to remake foxy you know uh they thought the first one was too scary so they redesigned them to be more kidfriendly and put them in kids Cove to keep the toddlers entertained you know but kids these days just can't keep their hands to themselves the staff literally had to put foxy back together at the end of every ship eventually they just stopped trying and left him as some kind of take aart put back together attraction now he's just a mess of parts I think the employees refer to him as just the mangle there's no reason they can't have decided to remake foxy and put him in Kid's Cove in the original Freddy's location the fap 2 location was only open for one week before you start the game so the choice of words with him saying eventually after every shift well that makes it seem like it lasted more than a week I think it's safe to say that mangle existed in the first Freddy's pizza location meaning that this girl having a mangle toy makes perfect sense even though this game takes place before FNAF 2 when you enter your room foxy bro jump scares you tomorrow is another day one day until the party this scene starts in the back room of the pizzeria much like the one in FNAF 1 there are spare costumes and Endo Parts on the floor is a headless animatronic this has caused a lot of drama in the community because some people think it has a kid shoved inside it and that that is hair sticking out I'm not 100% sure but I think it's just wires the idea that purple guy would murder a kid shove him in there in front of Cece and and then leave the suit headless so the body is just out in the open makes so little sense CeCe cries out please let me out please please let me out it's implied that foxy bro locked him in this room which is obviously the scariest room in the building unlike all other nights the text tomorrow is another day does not appear the next night is different from all other nights instead of the roster of animatronics we've been facing so far there is now only one enemy nightmare fredbear an evil manifestation of the creature CCE fears the most despite fredbear being his best friend it should be noted that fredbear the plush and the nightmare have purple hats and ties golden Freddy as we will come to know him as later has black accessories so while fredbear and golden Freddy are basically the same character it seems like between this game and the next game he appears in the company changes his appearance for some reason it should also be noted that the version of fredbear in the stage01 miname from FNAF 3 has black accessories putting this moment after FNAF 4's mini games as fredbear travels around the map glitching to various different sides we actually see a screen where the three cheering children turn into only two cheering children this may indicate that the spring Bonnie character has killed while fredbear was absent this would line up with our timeline of the MCI happening sometime after 1983 after fredbear will go from purple to Black accessories let's take a look at what may have caused that change Zero days until the party it's cce's birthday party at Freddy's a place that he hates a place that makes him cry in front of all the neighborhood children in front of him is his brother and his brother's three friends in masks the Freddy mask kid is likely the one that laughed at CCE earlier although his hair is a slightly different color that's fine though we can excuse things being a slightly different color as just a minor mistake in blue text we read wow your brother is kind of a baby isn't he given that foxy bro's text is gray like his shirt it's unclear if the blue text belongs to Bonnie kid or chica kid whose shirt is blue it's hilarious why don't we help him get a closer look he will love it no please come on guys let's give this little man a lift he wants to get up close and personal now this part makes no sense as they walk past the Shadows to the stage with the characters on it either I'm incapable of grasping the perspective of this 2D landscapes representation or these actually are the shadow animatronics watching events take hold and nobody but us can see them no I don't want to go you heard the little man he wants to get even closer hey guys I think the little man said he wants to give fredbear a big kiss on three 1 2 [Music] [Music] night 6 has every animatronic in the original Freddy crew as well as nightmare fredbear completion of this night leads us to the final cut scene gray text the text indicating that it's foxy bro speaking he says can you hear me I don't know if you can hear me I'm sorry yellow text fredbear's text then says you're broken [Music] we are still your [Music] friends do you still believe [Music] that I am still here the plushes all fade away leaving fredbear last I will put you back together then CCE Fades away but it's not the scene ending the ground is still visible it's just CeCe also the FF with wi he claims that this song is from Halo it's not there's a YouTube video where somebody used this song over like a montage of sad Halo moments and for some reason people think that the song is then from Halo it's actually from a royaltyfree audio library and nobody questioned how Scott would be able to license music from Bungie they just wrote it on the wiki also yeah cce's dead I think the text here is pretty self-explanatory as the plushies fade fredbear tells CeCe that they're still his friends as they disappear it is symbolically showing that CeCe no longer considers them his friends because kids wearing The Masks of those characters just killed him fredbear desperately clings to Cece saying I'm still here I will put you back together and then he disappears too this is CeCe giving up on these characters not just the animatronics but the plushies too I can hear fans screaming about how I didn't mention that the text is a different color when fredbear talks on this final night and that is true true his text color for the rest of the night is darker this is different there's a lot of different theories for this for one lighter colored fredbear shares the text color with pigtail girl from earlier so maybe that's the sister and this is her talking maybe she was fredbear all [Music] along there's also the possibility that it is literally just a mistake like I said earlier we can forgive slight color errors like Scott while programming accidentally copied the color code from pigtail girls text instead of all the other instances of fredbear because they just look so similar then there's the theory that there's just something different about the voice during this final scene for example if fredbear has a speaker inside of him explaining how he talks then maybe foxy bro goes from talking out loud to then talking through the plush to try to reach his brother or if it's some other character like cce's father who has been talking through the plush the entire game maybe now he's not talking through the plush maybe now the father is talking in the same room as CeCe my personal theory about the plush is completely based on evidence from the next game so we'll get back to that but for now just keep in mind that there is a debate to this very day about what the bear is at first glance the story told in this game is completely nonsensical with the rest of the series we know that there were five MCI victims and thus this kid is not the spirit inside golden Freddy because he was not killed by the purple guy so he does not count as one of those five kids this is before the murders and before Purple Guy starts tampering with soul juice so why is this story being told who is this kid who to this day is nameless why is his story important to try to figure that out we need to look at some Easter eggs hidden in the game beyond the supernatural appearance of The Nightmare animatronics in the main gaml there's also other aspects of the game that appear to be not entirely barly real occasionally when looking behind you at the bed you can see a bottle of pills flowers in a vase and an IV drip these being obvious references to a hospital or to CC dying in the hospital after the bite there's a chance that a strange ambient noise can be heard while playing when sped up and reversed the audio is actually the phone call from night one of FNAF 1 [Music] this is one of the most important pieces of evidence for trying to figure out what this game play is actually trying to say for one it firmly places the events of the nighttime gameplay itself after FNAF 1 it also limits the candidates who we might be playing as to two different people phone guy and Mike Schmidt there's also a purple phone toy in the room which seemingly is just an Easter egg to the other games but it takes on a new meaning if you take into account the fact that this game is supposed to be a dream the actual gamees gameplay the nighttime part is a dream or a nightmare being had by Mike Schmidt sometime after FNAF W he's dreaming about his time as a night guard chica coming from the right Bonnie from the left foxy behind a curtain and and Freddy behind him the phone from the office is here he can hear the recorded phone call from his first night on the job he can see references to a hospital a hospital where his brother CeCe died this story is being told because it's the origin of Mike Schmidt foxy bro who accidentally got his brother killed as a teenager and who later went on to be a security guard at Freddy's I said earlier that we can roll out CCE being the spirit inside golden Freddy because golden Freddy is already possessed by one of the MCI kids except we don't need to rule him out back in FNAF 3 we saw golden Freddy with a light inside his head that appeared to be two different lights having two Souls might be why he's capable of teleporting being two beings is probably why his head is capable of flying at the player in FNAF 2 because that aspect of the character is one Soul the more violent MCI victim Soul whereas all golden Freddy normally does is crash the game he doesn't kill you because CeCe wouldn't kill his older brother he would just appear to him and say it's me the happiest day miname in FNAF 3 is a mirrored version of the restaurant from FNAF 4 except this time the kids in the Freddy masks are there to celebrate golden Freddy's birthday with the help of the puppet they're recreating the birthday party he never got to give it its happy ending as he died CCE stopped thinking of these characters as his friends but when they all came up to him to give him a good birthday he then voluntarily put on his fredbear mask reuniting with his friends his friends the Freddy's characters not the MCI kids golden Freddy doesn't exist in the good ending of FNAF 3 because even though Cece's Soul was freed the MCI kid the one who he shared the suit with was not so the story of FNAF is the story of Mike Schmidt who accidentally got his brother killed at a Freddy's in 1983 he investigates the kidnappings and possible deaths of children in 1987 the day after the bite of '87 but then was fired that same day for tampering with the animatronics 5 years later in 1992 he applied to be the security guard at the next Freddy's location after phone guy announced he was retiring his brother appeared before him in a ghostly Apparition and said it's me after getting fired for tampering with the animatronics and odor again he started having nightmares about his time as a security guard and his brother's ghost these dreams took place inside his childhood bedroom a room that we never see in the mini games in FNAF 4 when a new Freddy's location finally opened up years later Fazbear frights he took the job he worked there for a while before the game started until they brought in the springtrap animatronic he hallucinates the animatronics he saw at the other buildings while he's warding off springtrap and the puppet who is really there spares him because he knows that Mike is not purple guy Mike eventually burns the place down defeating purple guy once and for all he frees all of the spirits including his own brother that is the story of FNAF with some loose threads we know that springtrap like in any good horror movie survived and is ready for the next adventure we know that one of the souls inside golden Freddy is still around and then there is the one left hanging Cliffhanger which we're going to talk about right now we're going to talk about the box after completing the final challenge of FNAF 4 you're greeted with this screen it's a small box with two locks the text perhaps some things are best left forgotten for now appears above the Box I think the word forgotten is the key word in that text we'll talk about that more later Scott would say later that this is not a tease about a future FNAF game the box was to be opened once somebody solved the mystery of FNAF 4 I said in the beginning that Scott likes to make games using the criticism from his previous game he said he was disappointed by how quickly the lore was figured out in the first three FNAF games so he wanted to make the fourth game more complex he assumed that somebody like Matt Pat would figure it out but nobody ever did to this day nobody agrees on what FNAF 4 is about so whatever is in that box has to be a solution that is validated by somebody figuring out the story theories that it's just cce's plushes or it's the puppet don't actually reveal or explain anything I'll talk about what I think is in the Box in a couple minutes but to this day people still cannot agree on what they think's inside it with the best guess being evidence for dream theory and our powers combined we can come up with a cringeworthy theory that the internet might only mildly cancel us over after FNAF 4 Game Theory had a live stream where the world's leading FNAF experts talked about the story which at that point we thought was complete I remember watching the stream live as it happened and let me tell you it was the hypest thing imaginable I also think it's funny that a lot of people who talk about FNAF on YouTube will mention that they watched this stream happening live it's like there's this group of people who led very different lives and they all converged for one moment in 2015 watching matpat live on stream and then splintered off again but now our all talking about FNAF on YouTube and watching each other's videos and it really seems like this one moment in time is like the origin story for a lot of people this is a Nexus event this is a cannon moment anyway while Matt Pat and his buddies were rambling on trying to solve the game Scott started updating his website with hints trying to steer the conversation Scott would say years later that he regretted interacting with the community by commenting on theories because he felt like he led people down the wrong path and I think he's talking about this live stream the things Scott posted during this live stream have been held up like The Holy Bible of FNAF where people act like if you can answer these questions you can solve the whole story so okay so clearly this is something that a lot of people have screenshotted off the Scot games in the FNAF 4 mini game why would the tiny toy chica be missing her beak that uh this is literally can I just say how literally insane like I'm I'm really excited like this is we broke it open again no I mean Scott no Scott has broken it open for us he's like hey guys look at the thing that you missed yeah oh and and oh my gosh and even in the asset you see chica's beak lying on the ground mhm there right there um which is a reference to FNAF 2 this this is a reference to what I discussed before about this girl and her toys back then when I was making fun of dream theory I mentioned how dream theorists think this means that toy chica is missing her Beacon FNAF 2o because CeCe saw this broken toy right now but I think this is backwards I think the toy chica in the game is missing her beak because toy chica in FNAF 2 is missing her beak and if you're confused and saying well how can something that happens in 1987 affect something back in 1983 well I will get to that and you will be no less confused that's when she loses her beak is am I correct in saying that I believe so doco do you can you confirm or hold on I'm sorry Scott's done another question oh God he said what he's seen in Shadows is easily misunderstood in the mind of a child silence confucious say what is seen in the shadows is easily misunderstood in the mind of a child yes that's exactly what he said this has been interpreted in multiple ways including the shadow animatronics and also this scene of CeCe watching purple guy put a performer into their costume my issue with this scene being the Catalyst for any Theory especially if the theory is that CeCe thinks this is purple guy the murderer stuffing someone in a suit to kill them is that he doesn't seem scared of this action at all he scared of the guy in the fredbear costume he was also scared of the restaurant before for seeeing this some people also think it's a reference to the nightmare animatronics basically they don't actually look like nightmares they look like something else and they're just misunderstood in the darkness I disagree because of Scott using the words easily misunderstood when we later talk about why the nightmare animatronics look like this you'll see that there's nothing easy about it here here's a weird this is weird Okay but it's one of the things that immediately jumps to my mind is it possible again this is completely offthe wall is it possible that FNAF 2 didn't actually happen and it was just um yeah I know what you mean like is it possible yeah no is it possible that FNAF 2 like the the main game of FNAF 2 like putting on the mask the the animatronics like sliding across the screen jumping out all that stuff is it possible that that all similar to FNAF 4 which takes place Inside the Mind of a child you know is it possible that FNAF 2 also took place in the mind of a child what what the [ __ ] you know maybe again this tortured boy who sees chica without her beak who sees the toy animatronics who sees mangle in pieces in a separate room in his home um is that a Poss I don't like again this is me theorizing out of the blue just toss but my M when I hear or when I see chica without her beak and I hear Scott saying you know what exists in the mind of sh what you see in the shadows what you know could be like is this is FNAF 2 just this hypothetical situation that this child has like this needs to stop now con and and I hate going to the like cuz one of the things that we strive for on game theorists is when we create theories not resorting to like it's a coma [Music] what if everything in FNAF was just a dream that's right a FNAF dream theory that everything we play through in these games was created in the mind of the FNAF 4's crying child the nail in the coffin the one piece of evidence that no one can deny and that to my knowledge no one has talked about in the months of theorizing the detail that convinced me this Theory happen has to be true are you ready to have your mind blown listen to the sound that you hear at the end of every night of the first three games a grandfather clock chiming the same song every time why would the end of my shift in an office be signaled by a grandfather clock chime it wouldn't unless I was asleep dreaming in my house with a grandfather clock right outside my room just like the layout of the crying child's house we see in the FNAF 4 mini games 6:00 a.m. time to get up but now let's look at FNAF 4 how does each night end there a beeping alarm clock why because we're no longer in the crying child's house we're in a hospital trying to recover from being bitten hence the pills IV and flower Easter eggs no hospital has a grandfather clock but they're all equipped with a generic digital alarm clock this to me was The Missing Link the piece of evidence that took this Theory from convenient explanation for a lot of the game's weirdness to definitive proof that this is what Scott intended um he said oh this is still from Scott is this email uh no apparently it's from the website right it said four games one story that's what he said on the website four games one story I mean we were assuming that it was kind of one story I mean four games one story this clearly was pointing people in the direction that this wasn't just some random story about a kid who died years before the other games we've already talked about how foxy bro is Mike Schmidt so there you go that's how all four games are one story these hints and general theories about the game led to dream theory now I've already said that I think that the nighttime gameplay segments of FNAF 4 are a dream but this theory is saying saying that every single FNAF game is a dream being had by CC he gets bit he goes to the hospital he dreams FNAF 1 FNAF 2 FNAF 3 and FNAF 4 with the only real things being the mini games in FNAF 4 purple guy in his nightmares is a murderer who stuffs kids into suits because he saw him putting someone in a suit and this girl told him that the animatronics come to life at night and kill people which is why he dreams FNAF 1 and he got bit so obviously he dreams about the B of 87 and toy chica is missing her beak because this toy was missing its beak in fact the toy animatronics only exist because toys exist and springtrap is based on this plushy being a finger trap and balloon boy is this kid some of this makes sense like the toy chica beak thing but so much of it does not this means that he dreamt FNAF 1 through three at home before being taken to the hospital to dream FNAF 4 and for some reason there's a digital clock going off at 6:00 a.m. in a room room in a hospital for a boy in a coma it means that this boy in the year 1983 is having a dream about being an adult security guard in 1992 including dreaming about correct minimum wage increases from 1987 to 1992 he dreamt things like overtime paychecks the existence of furries by 2015 he dreamt he was multiple different people including Jeremy Fritz and Michael and he dreamt happiest day which is obviously the conclusion of his story that's his character Arch but he also dreamt this conversation in the void with fredbear plush his death this is his ending he has two endings in this theory if there's nothing Supernatural going on and it's a dream he has two endings if there is something Supernatural going on and it's not a dream one ending is his death and the other ending is him moving on dream theory will be completely disproven by FNAF 5 but the modern idea is that dream theory was the intended way to solve FNAF 4 and then Scott changed it because it was was all a dream endings are dumb this allows people to basically write off FNAF 4 because any details that don't line up with their theories can easily be shoved aside and say oh that was a hint to dream theory which is Recon so I don't need to worry about that anymore I don't think Scott is the kind of person to write and it was all a dream ending the following is an excerpt from something Scott wrote on Steam on August 24th 2015 a month and a day after FNAF 4 released I have something fun in mind a new game not FNAF 5 but it will be a real challenge to have even a small playable Portion by October 31st if a playable demo isn't ready by then then at the very least there will be some sneak peek content we'll talk about that in a minute now Scott was planning on a Halloween update for FNAF 4 and that's what this post is about so he's going to now address the Box will not be opened in that update now I want to talk about what won't be included the Box you know when I released the first game over a year ago I was amazed at how quickly everyone found every bit of lore and story then the same happened with part two fans and YouTubers dug in and found everything Game Theory did an Incredible video on part two getting almost everything right then part three came out and once again the story was uncovered by the community it seemed that there was nothing I could hide but then I released part four and somehow no one not a single person found the pieces the story remains completely hidden I guess most people assumed that I filled the game with random Easter eggs this time I didn't what's in the box it's the pieces put together but the bigger question is would the community accept it that way the fact that the pieces have remained elusive this time strikes me as incredible and Special A fitting conclusion in some ways and because of that I've decided that maybe some things are best left forgotten forever people take the but what the community accept it that way quote and put it further as more evidence for dream theory but I don't but my theory is entirely based on the next game in the franchise the one that Scott hinted to at the beginning of this post a game called FNAF world but before we talk about that we got to talk about the books more like belongs in the trash that's right in December of 2015 the first FNAF book came out the Silver Eyes the silver eyes and the following two books that make up its Trilogy are about a girl named Charlotte Emily or Charlie Charlie lives in Utah and her father Henry was one of the founders of Freddy's along with his business partner William Afton when Charlie was a kid her brother Sam was killed at fredbear's Family Diner and then when she was a bit older five kids went missing including her friend Michael the book picks up 10 years later when Charlie and her school friends reunite in town and go to Freddy's and run into a security guard who it turns out is William Afton they then kill him by Spring locking him into the spring Bonnie suit and escape the murder of Sam and then years later five more kids by someone in a spring Bonnie suit of course follows the game story very well Scott said these books are not retellings of the games they are an otherw World different continuity type story with that said we can use some evidence from the books for the games for one purple guy finally has a name William Aton the founder of fredbears Family Diner has a name Henry the games are set in Utah which is going to be very very important in a couple minutes yes I did read all three books just to maybe find something important but the most important thing I found didn't come until the third book through various context clues we're also able to determine that the Charlie character is the book equivalent of this character from the game William's first kill outside of fredbears in the books it's because he's jealous of Henry and wants to hurt him in the games uh I don't know we don't know yet well I do know but we'll get back to that the Silver Eyes Trilogy introduces the concept of Remnant which the community jokingly refers to as Soul juice but I still think that calling it that even though I did earlier is a disservice to the concept that Scott had going back to the autobiography of a yogi we see a passage about how the nervous system of animals is similar to to the way metal conducts electricity I think in a more modern sense you could say that these circuit boards on a robot would kind of be like the nervous system of a human and the way that possession Works would be that the child who possesses a robot would basically imprint their nervous system and thus their memories and personality and life force onto the circuit boards and wires and all of that stuff of a robot and thus now the animatronic is possessed by then the more of you that is taken away from the robot and replaced the less of you is left there replacing the robot I think about it a lot more scientifically rather than religiously let's say that you've imprinted onto the robot if the robot's arm is removed then now there's less of you imprinted on the robot but your brain is not split into two parts you don't retain Consciousness and control over your now separated arm the arm is not a horcrux your soul has not been split into two but if someone were to take that arm and put it on a purely AI creation it would gain a slight amount of your life force the novels introduce the idea that the metal can be taken and transplanted into other robots by heating the metal and making it malleable and then putting it in a new robot that robot will then have some life in it in the books Remnant is much more closely tied to Memories than to souls it's kind of like if you could remove my brain stem and put it in a robot that robot would have animal likee intelligence The Remnant from the MCI kids is put into other robots including these stupid little baby things that will meet in FNAF 5 and they're explained to have more rudimentary intelligence one human character is injected with liquid metal containing the remnant of all of the MCI kids and he is then able to see them and talk to them it's like the spirit world is overlaid over reality they all have issues with their memories in the book it's symbolized by Pages floating around them through the air each child is separated into five different ghostly versions the more papers that they collect the more they come together and remember things people try to argue that this indicates that by taking Remnant from the MCI kids and putting it in little robots that this splits the child's Souls but that's not what the book is depicting because the children are able to regain their pages and become more opaque and get their memories without the animatronics physically melding back together I think the splitting of the memories and The Taking of the remnant and having to be put in more robots are entirely different concepts that happen to be introduced at the same time because this scene is the climax of the trilogy so this is a store bought computer I didn't build this I acquired it at some point and this is a PC that I am building myself this is my invention now this is something I have to get parts and pieces from all over the place whereas this is something that came whole it has all of its pieces intact they all came together in one unit this is a functional PC and as of right now this is not a functional PC but let's say that I go in here and I I take some of the parts out I take out a stick of ram a stick of memory and I take it and I put it into the new computer does that mean that this computer stops being this computer it's still functional I can still turn it on I can still use it as a fully functional PC whereas this one now just went from a useless husk that can't even boot up to now something that does work because it has Ram in it it has that final piece that actually makes it be able to be powered up and used this is still the same computer but now this computer can be turned on I think of it kind of like the ship of thesis like if I take parts from this and bring it over here is this still the same device some people might say no because there's there's something different about it you can Define the moment when it changed but personally in my own view of that thought problem it would still be the same device as long as it can function the same way especially if I go out and I get a new piece and then I replace the original one it's not the part that it came with it's not the natural part but now it is something that functions the same way now of course if I was to reach in here and take out all of the memory all of the RAM and and put it into here this is now functionally something new something better than this it has other parts that makes it better but it has the same memory not only does it have the same capacity for memory but it actually has the exact same memory on a physiological Sense on an atomic sense this is the same device that was previous ly in there although now that we've taken all the memory out we have left this one a useless husk this is now no longer a computer because all of the memory has been removed from it whereas this one is something new but definitely retains some amount of identity from this original computer well now I'm upstairs in my office and this is actually my brand new fancy computer this is the one that I play games on with its brand new graphics card and RGB lighting this is my my Funtime computer so let's say that when I was building this I went and I harvested three sticks of ram but I leave one of these sticks down here in this one so this one still an empty husk that one upstairs still has less than this one did originally in its natural store-bought state but it has three times as much as this one both of them are able to boot this can Boot and that one can boot but that one has more and this one has less and there's still pieces of the original at no point did I split anything up at no point did I duplicate anything in order to create more memory but that memory was used to bring two machines that previously could not be turned on could not be powered on could not come to life that can now come to life and because of our brilliant miraculous technology RAM does not need to be in one stick we actually have four slots for it that can go into the computer meaning that I'm able to divide the ram among those two devices I'm able to scale how much memory is in each of the machines that I'm crafting Ram is Remnant if you didn't get it so the original Freddy is a full Freddy even if some remnant is taken and put over here into the bidy Babs the MCI child is still fully possessing Freddy and the bidy Babs do have a little bit of that in them but they are still not that child [Music] the important thing is memory and Scott said that whatever is in that box is best left forgotten for now when he wrote that he intended for it to be revealed one day meaning one day in the future it would be remembered I think this was a hint to the importance of memory and this was trying to explain what putting somebody back together means that's what I believe FNAF 3 is about taking these shattered pieces of C's memories and putting them back together so he can experience his happiest day he can have the birthday that he never got and he can finally move on his memories needed to be recombined because his head got crunched Scott said that what's in the box is the pieces put together and fredbear said that he would put CeCe back together so inside the box is CeCe's memories put back together and I think that Scott in intended to reveal that to us once we figured out what the game was trying to tell us and I believe that the objects within the Box are things that would one solve all the lore and the remaining questions and two be completely self-explanatory were we to see them on top of ending the series on a high note I think that by the end of FNAF 4 the lore was entirely solvable especially with Scott's hints during the GT live stream Scott was going to open the box like a prize he was going to say yes yes you got it you got the right answer and I think the box would have three or so important items first would be cce's fredbear plush a symbol of him and his Youth and innocence connecting him to Golden Freddy that would be the yes from Scott to people who theorized that CeCe becomes golden Freddy next would be a picture frame containing a photo of two parents foxy bro Cece and their sister and there would be an engraving or an embossing on the plaque and it would say the Schmidts and that would be a yes from Scott to the theory that foxy bro is Mike Schmidt and then the final item would be a box of matches branded after Fazbear's fright and that would be a yes that Mike Schmidt is the protagonist of every game and that FNAF 3 was the climax where he set his brother free with happiest day and defeated William Aton once and for all there is in fact a fourth hint that Scott gave during the GT live stream that most people don't talk about um here we go Scott cofin have you thought of who the security guard is and it's interesting cuz before all the technical difficulties one of the things that I wanted to toss out to everyone because it is one of the the final biggest questions of the franchise the SEC guards what role do they play in all of this so Scott himself is is throwing out okay so we have beakless chica we have the shadows of you know what children see in the shadows can be misinterpreted four games one St four games one story and now who is the security guard okay have you have you thought about who the security guard is I I mean we we have I mean we've we've tried to for whatever reason there isn't an easyto view screenshot of this hint so only people who remember this moment from this 2-hour live stream would group it in with the other three hints mattp Pat took this as evidence for dream theory with the implication being that CeCe is dreaming he's the guard but it's not this is what should have been the final hint to solving what Scott intended Matt was supposed to figure out that the guard and all the other games Mike was foxy bro all of that information is no Noble just from the first four games and I think Scott was waiting for somebody to figure out that foxy bro was Mike Schmidt and that CCE is golden Freddy and he's saying it's me to tell Mike who he is and Mike is setting up happiest day so in FNAF 3 he freed his brother's soul and killed the killer once and for all FNAF 4 was supposed to be a simple wrapup to the story it was supposed to say hey guys you missed all these cool story bits in lore isn't it even better now that the entire franchise is a Redemption story for foxy bro isn't it cool that the nighttime security guard in each game was the same person was foxy bro but instead what people took away from it was dream theory nobody got it so Scott decided not to open the box realizing that nobody had figured out what he was trying to say he decided to make amends and he wanted to fix this flaw with this game in his next title so he made a game that is basically just one long story spoon feeding things simply to the audience and that is what eventually would become FNAF 5 many years later Scott would say that what's in the box has changed and the reason for that is that the story has retroactively changed the photo labeled the Schmid could no longer be what's in the box because of the events of FNAF 5 and six so instead he made the Box something else and basically everybody agrees on what that is but we'll have to wait for FNAF 6 to get there and now we got to take a detour into FNAF World finally as I end this section I want to say that even if Scott never confirms what's in the box I just I feel so gratified believing that I have finally solved the Box this is a mystery that has been lingering for over half a decade Game Theory did this great video about how lingering Mysteries and unsolved puzzles really bother people because your brain just can't check it off as their to-do list you don't feel right until you complete your task and even if I'm wrong as I am recording this I finally feel like I can take that box off like I finally accomplished that task like I know finally what is in the FNAF 4 box and it's so simple it's just saying that all four games are one story but not the story of purple guy the story of Mike Schmidt foxy bro and now on to FNAF World FNAF world was released in January of 2016 and like I said is not FNAF 5 it's a cute cartoony roleplaying game where you make a team of your favorite animatronics and fight some bad guys it's like Final Fantasy into Earthbound if they were about a robot Bearer you can play as basically any animatronic from the series so I'm not going to look into any symbolism for the the player character but there are returning NPCs non-player characters who might be important Scott has confirmed that the game is 100% Can into the series this happened this is real this is important so let's take a look at the game Scott made after FNAF 4 that definitely will not open the box see I say that because in the files of the game there's a picture of the Box being opened but still no idea of what's inside it the game begins in a black void with square yellow eyes staring at you everything that happens out there has an effect here do you understand this is a safe place this is a sanctuary but something has gone wrong and now it can be seen here something went very wrong that's why I am here but I won't let the same happen to you I will put you back [Music] together the repetition of this line from the end of FNAF 4 is intriguing it makes it seem like you're playing as CC which I don't believe because of what happens next but unfortunately FNAF world is the most confusing part of the series while I think also being the key to everything after you create your party fredbear not golden Freddy because he has a purple hat tells you there are monsters roaming the world because something has gone wrong on the flip side if you stay on the screen for long enough fredbear will be replaced by a glitching fredbear who immediately contradicts what fredbear is saying there is a task for you to complete you have to leave breadcrumbs for him to help him find his way FNAF world is split into two quests there's the quest that fredbear send you on to play a nice friendly RPG and then there's the quest glitch fredbear send you on to find hidden clocks as you find these clocks you play a little mini game each clock you find corresponds with one of the FNAF 3 Mini Games push balloon boy into a box to represent putting him in his poster for FNAF 3 you have to enter these squares in the same pattern that you have to click the buttons on the arcade cabinet to play mangle Quest you have to put four cupcakes into boxes like how you have to find four cupcakes in FNAF 3 there are three different tiles with numbers on them you have to stand on the correct one with the correct one being the one that has the number sequence from FNAF 3 you have to push Shadow Bonnie into a box like the shadow Bonnie plush you have to click on in FNAF 3 the quest that glitch bear sends you on is setting up happiest day and happiest day is of course for cc so that means that you the player character are not CeCe you are someone else setting up breadcrumbs for him so that he can find his happiest day the world map for the game is modeled after a brain which many people interpret as the player going through cce's memories to reconstruct his Consciousness given that his brain was squished by these Chompers you are putting him back together I also think it demonstrates how Remnant works these are the pathways from his real brain imprinted onto the robot so now it looks like computer chips and it's represented by a video game this is his Remnant and we're like going into his code the game ends after you find all these clocks with the same square yellow eyes in a void saying we are still your friends do you believe that the pieces are in place for you all you have to do is find them rest so these two void moments are referring to somebody using the second person and they're definitely talking too CeCe because of the repetition of the phrases used in FNAF 4 we are still your friends and I will put you back together this is the conclusion of The Narrative of FNAF 4 as fredbear plush said that in FNAF 4 the other plushes started to fade because CCE was no longer considering them his friends because they killed him but now that happiest day has been set up he can begin to think of them as his friends again and as he thinks that they then throw him this party when glitch bear talks to the player they say you need to put the pieces together for him so CeCe is watching these two scenes in the dark but someone else is playing through the campaign several hours from now we're going to be talking about the Five Nights at Freddy's security log book in which several instances of text in the book are actually changed um and they're being changed by the ghost of CCE and one of the messages that he writes to the reader is the phrase I can't see which I believe is further evidence that this is being EXP experienced by CCE in the afterlife which is why everything is dark he entered the void when he died at the end of FNAF 4 and things remained dark until happiest day and I think that's all important so I didn't want to hold on to this evidence for several hours until we talk about this book also if you didn't know this book existed you're probably very confused right now it's a masterpiece this book is what made dabbing chica Cannon if the books are anything to go by then a living person can communicate with a ghost if they're injected with their Remnant it's a very trippy experience it's kind of like a hallucination and it fades with time so I think we should be on the lookout for any human characters in the story who get injected with a Remnant who might want to help Cece and who could be the person speaking these lines so FNAF world is someone this glitch bear telling someone the player to set up CC's happiest day which we then see play out in FNAF 3 but who is glitch bear who is the player what is all of this what was FNAF for well it's a video game FNAF World directly in both of its opening segments both the floating eyes in the void and then the actual start of the game play both say that this is a video game world and that things in the real world affect things happening in the game nowadays I think people think of video games like discs or pieces of data that are downloaded or streamed from the internet but you got to keep in mind video games are just Hardware they're cartridges and arcade machines they're just circuit boards and in a world where ghosts can possess animatronics why can't they possess arcade cabinets remember when I said and that is FNAF 3 almost we have to bring up the major question which is what were those mini games obviously the security guard us we were not playing those games we weren't sitting there playing mangles Quest and somehow affecting events that were happening in the Ghost World right well let's just remove that pin and talk about a whole lot of nonsense Henry the co-founder of Freddy's alongside William is based on a realworld person Nolan K Bushnell the creator of Chuck-E-Cheeses one thing that always bothered me about the FNAF games before FNAF 4 is that the mini games look like they're from an Atari the first game with mini games was FNAF 2 which took place in 1987 the first Nintendo the NES came out in 1986 and by November of ' 87 had taken over the world if you wanted to represent a generic video game from the late 8s it would look like an NES game not an Atari game arcade games at the time were of course even more advanced than the NES but it makes perfect sense once you realize that Nolan Bushnell the founder of Chuck-E-Cheeses also founded Atari Nolan Bushnell was born in 194 three in Utah this is not a coincidence people to quote the Wikipedia page for Chuck-E-Cheeses quoting one of Nolan's Partners Chuck-E-Cheese was always Nolan's passion project even before Atari was a thing he wanted to start a business of familyfriendly restaurants with Amusement Park Midway games I think initially it made no fiscal sense so he shelved it for a while but then when Atari took off he had the means to pursue it plus a built-in distribution model for atari's new release in 1972 he founded Atari 1972 of course being 20 years before FNAF won if I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for 20 years and I never got it bad so the FNAF universe and Henry specifically are very much based on the real world history of Nolan Atari and Chuck-E-Cheeses some of the mini games we see in the first few FNAF games look like they could be real games that kids would play in an arcade take cake to the children as Freddy give gifts to children as the puppet who gives gifts at the prize desk foxy runs to the kids as fast as possible toy chica avoids a bully this is a balloon boy platformer mangle's Quest is literally an actual arcade cabinet we know that this is a real game in Universe I think some of the mini games are in Universe games and that they sort of exist on some sort of Wreck-It Ralph Logic the video games and the characters exist on the flip side in video game land which FNAF World calls animatronica these games the these arcade games are real inworld games again like Wreck-It Ralph and the characters can walk on over to animatronica but these games got corrupted when real world events happen that are so horrific that they leave ripples in the other world the agony of William killing kids changes the ending of Foxy go go go William killing Charlie now happens outside while Freddy takes cake the puppet gives gifts but when all the children's die the kids in the game are replaced with bodies so the puppet can't win the game so she brings them back to life Shadow Bonnie is such a powerful force that he can literally glitch his way through different games because these games are physical cabinets that somehow unite on the flip side Henry is absent from the story of FNAF so much so that in 1987 phone guy doesn't even know his name but he does say that he's going to contact him about the kidnapped children's incident I believe that around this time in 19 1987 is when Henry starts making games explicitly for the trapped souls to play through to be able to experience so he can communicate with them save them takes place after the KCI and allows the player to see what happened follow me takes place after the suits are torn apart and the FNAF 4 mini games I believe were created sometime between FNAF 1 and three in the 23-year time Gap the same time Gap where Mike is having the nightmares that make up the main gameplay of FNAF 4 Mike is dreaming about 1983 while Henry made a game depicting those events that somebody on the flip side is playing through for them to experience it's like that one episode of avatar The Last Airbender where Ang and Zuko are both learning about their shared ancestor together at the same time but Ang is viewing it like through magical spirit world nonsense where he's actually there but Zuko is just reading about it in a scroll but the show uses the same method of telling us the story by using of a flashback so like the mini gamees player and Mike are both experiencing FNAF 4 at the same time Mike is experiencing it in his dreams and the miname player is experiencing it by playing the mini games that were created for them it's at the same time contemporarily but it's about something that happened a long time ago in 1983 so that means that we have dual protagonists in FNAF while Mike is having nightmares about 1983 the other protagonist a spirit who can affect the real world and be affected by the real world is also experiencing 1983 but who is that second protagonist who is playing these arcade games well it's golden Freddy one of the MCI kids who the community has dubbed the vengeful spirit and CCE both share golden Freddy we've seen CeCe possess golden Freddy and Charlie possessed the puppet without any outside help and then the puppet gave life to Freddy Bonnie Chica and Foxy but it really appears like the vengeful Spirit was able to possess golden Freddy by the self the same way CCE and the puppet possessed their characters by themselves This lends to the idea that the spirit is more powerful or meaningful something like that it becomes confirmed 100% later that this is the case that one of the MCI kids is just angrier than the others hence the vengeful Spirit moniker but without any of that future information I think it can be understood with what we have so far the vengeful Spirit was able to hold on to their Consciousness more strongly than the others because they were killed in a spring locked suit instead of being stuffed into a regular suit after death so the vengeful Spirit and the puppet are very aware and CeCe becomes aware because of happiest day that frees up the vengeful Spirit to be the player of FNAF world and the one witnessing all of these mini games but again some of the mini games are in Universe games some of them are just things Henry created to communicate with the spirit world but even the real ones are being altered there's a voice spelling out s o h i m and that's Henry talking to the vengeful Spirit the vengeful Spirit was not present for Charlie's actual murder this game was likely made and was experienced after FNAF 2 which is when we play it even though it takes place in 1983 which is when the murder happened the mini games are games within the games depicting events that actually happened the mini games in FNAF 4 depict events from 1983 but were created years and years later Five Nights at Freddy's is two parallel stories Mike Schmidt making up for the killing of his brother and the vengeful spirit in Communications with Henry the father of Charlie the first victim of the purple guy both stories come together in FNAF 3 to make happiest day happen I'm going to bring this all up again after we discuss FNAF 5 and then everything's going to make a lot more sense FNAF world has multiple endings if you don't listen to or don't ever find glitch fredbear then you get to a final boss that boss is depicted by Scott coffin's steam profile picture enim dude while to us this is clearly a reference to Scott I think in game in the game in the game it's supposed to be a representation of Henry he is multiple times called The Puppet Master and Henry did invent the puppet and is Charlie's father if any character is the puppet's master if it's Henry and this character is the puppet master and creator of the game of the FNAF World game which makes him Henry on layer one of FNAF world it's a game where you fight anim dude and like all video games the final boss is a representation of the creator of the game obviously it's their final challenge to you he says it was fun being the Puppet Master but now I grow weary but on Layer Two of FNAF World someone is saying don't listen to the stupid n PCS that Henry populated this game with this isn't actually a game ignore that Quest you need to set up happiest day to free CC toward the end of the game glitch fredbear says attacking the game security system will not accomplish anything get to the key but ignore the Guardians if you have succeeded in setting the clocks then your true goal will be revealed once you have the key within the game The Guardian are big enemies like mini bosses but if you interpret this in a meta sense what is being said is hey vengeful Spirit don't attack security guards at Freddy's go set up happiest day which leaves the question of who or what is glitch bear glitch bear is helping the vengeful Spirit to put CCE back together but is very antagonistic in tone and characterization he also hates the Puppet Master which we've determined is Henry and he's represented by a Corruption of fredbear well I can't answer that let's have another chat after FNAF 5 throughout the game you have to Traverse through the World by kind of skipping through dimensions and wormholes and entering glitches but you're told not to go too many glitches down if you do go too many glitches down you end up here in a red Forest at a Red Lake with whatever this thing is he's fishing you can walk up to him and if you talk to him he says I'm sorry to say say that you have gone too deep into the code there is no way back out my name is old man consequences come have a seat and let's fish for a while you have nowhere else to go keep in mind there are multiple endings of FNAF world including one where the entire universe ends because you chose fredbear as your party leader and then you talk to fredbear and it causes a paradx there's also one where you fight chipper from chipper and Sons Lumber and he complains that FNAF is more popular of a game than his so yeah not everything in the game is Cannon this ending this old man consequences isn't something that actually happened by definition this is a dead end it's just a it's just a silly end screen like when the universe ended it it's not real right well there is one way out you can glitch one glitch further by entering the lake if you rapidly alternate left and right descending into the lake you will then fall for a while before you see this this screen has two main interpretations an angel welcoming you with its arms spread out and its wings behind it or the view of three people from behind being lit by a television screen with all three holding each other in their arms I think it's that one but I won't be able to explain why for quite a while you'll know I'm getting back to talk about this topic when I start an entire section called Mr hippo's Wild Ride we're going to head on out of this long long long discussion of the game for a minute and we're going to talk about real life FNAF world was released in January 2016 like I said and immediately it received a lot of backlash and I don't know why it was kind of janky but like it's a stupid RPG Bear game who cares well Scott cared he refunded everyone who bought the game reworked it a little bit and then re-released it for free one of the reasons beside this initial bad press that people don't ever really think about this game that much is solely because Markiplier didn't play it Markiplier more so even than matat put FNAF on the map by making a hit series playing the games I talked earlier about how FNAF is perfect for YouTube Let's Plays and it really is and markiplier was the poster child for that but he skipped FNAF world because it didn't seem interesting to him so the vast vast vast majority of the fan base who don't play the games and just watch Markiplier play them and then hop on over and watch mattad explain them didn't really experience FNAF World Scott has gone on to say that FNAF world was his biggest mistake and I think part of that was the poor reception he says he regrets how he tied it into the lore and made it Canon and I think that's either one because he made a decision in that game that he is now Bound by because it's Cannon or two it's the key to everything and nobody played it so they don't understand the series and I think it's that second one without FNAF world no one's going to sit there and say to themselves yeah yeah I think there's a mirror dimension of video game characters that are impacted by the real world and that FNAF is actually a parallel story of the main gameplay and the mini games being experienced in parallel universes and culminating in these two protagonists meeting in FNAF 3's finale because why would you think that unless you're me and you wrote over 100 pages of FNAF explanations and dedicated N9 years of your life to study this nonsense there's a house in FNAF world you can enter to meet deskman deskman says well what are you doing here I'm busy it wasn't supposed to be like this now it's all a mess of course now there is only one thing to do come back later and maybe I will tell you more which is probably a reference to FNAF World being a mess with this being Scott anim dude talked during his boss battle about how annoying FNAF is and the chipper boss battle was obviously very meta so it makes sense that this is a tongue-in cheek way of apologizing about the state of the game as well as hinting to what's going to come out next when you come back later much like FNAF 4 FNAF world had a Halloween update which came out on May 13th 2016 it's called the Halloween update because it's themed around Halloween not because it came out on Halloween not everything is so literal guys don't be so literal after you apply the update in order to play the new content you have to talk to deskman who says it's a vicious cycle you know but then most things in life are the pendulum swings one way then it swings the other now we return to darkness something terrible is coming come back later maybe I will tell you more this is in reference to Scott working on FNAF 5 he said in an interview after the fact that FNAF 4 was so dark that he needed to take a break and work on something else which is why FNAF world is so fun even though it does have dark undertones it's all puns and and colors uh it does have some dark comedy but overall it's just so fun but now the pendulum is swinging back the other way toward Darkness as he starts in Earnest on FNAF 5 it's kind of funny when I was writing this paragraph I was watching through part of Matt Pat's playthrough and he literally said this exact same thing without the hindsight of Scott confirming it years later I think what it is is you had FNAF now you went to FNAF World which was light happy and fun and now it's swinging back to the darkness spectrum and everyone's been talking about the sister location the new FNAF 5 I guess at this point FNAF 5 yeah I was just thinking of it as like a so I guess I'm just stupid if you talk to fredbear who's standing outside desk man's house he's next to a big Lock And he says the came bombed end of story I've already put in my application at the fazber down the street the problem is that now he has gone insane we don't know what he is making and we can't reach the room where it is being kept whatever it is it has everyone around here on edge this is where the Halloween characters and others were sent to have their code recycled for spin-off games put a stop to those games and save those characters then find the last area and uncover its dark secrets so the update is really a collection of mini games you have to beat to unlock characters to beat the final final boss deskman is referred to again assuming he's literally Scott but at the same time our metaphor of him being Henry using FNAF world to communicate with spirits still works the game maker is going a little crazy maybe because his daughter died maybe because he made something terrible the mini games included are FNAF 57 Freddy and space Freddy and space is a send up to Metroid and depending on how you beat it you can unlock coffee purple guy or Jacko Bonnie I'll talk about jackob Bonnie in a second foxy Fighters a parody of Star Fox you can unlock Jacko chica or nightmare balloon boy these characters first appeared in the Halloween update for FNAF 4 along with Jacko Bonnie and other Halloween type characters Scott made it super duper clear that that update was not canon but now the characters kind of are do a barrel roll do a barrel roll sorry I'm not sure what came over me Bingo get Bingo get dog G it don't forget me don't worry Flippy's here do something you won't get tired of my voice will you you won't get tired of my voice will you you won't get tired of my voice will you you won't get tired of my voice will you you won't get tired of my voice will you you won't get tired of my voice [Music] you foxy.exe this is Sonic.exe but foxy listen to my voice and you will find this isn't even really a game you just kind of walk and have to listen to Foxy in the first section he says listen to my voice and you'll find the key meaning each section you just listen to him second section he says when you can see how fast can you please if you walk you'll eventually see Freddy so you have to walk in the opposite direction instead of touching him or you lose if you do lose foxy takes up the whole screen and says all your Bas are belong to us all your B because the whole game is a joke third stage he says be sure your step through the heart of Madness be sure your step through the hearts of Madness which apparently means hide behind rocks so these kittens don't jump scare you when you beat it you unlock nightmare own Chico's Magic Rainbow Land This is a rage platformer which were all over the place back when Flash game still existed it's all trial and error and you have to not be killed by this rainbow who gets Progressive L more insulting as you go until you run out of lives Point nice nailed it you can do it you the game doesn't display your lives but the rainbow eventually gets fed up and kicks you out based on your number of deaths this is your last chance no it isn't stop lying to me no I don't believe you going to kill you w what what y your are you kidding me are you kidding me also the rainbow is voiced by Debbie Dairy Berry the voice of Jimmy Neutron you can do it blast also also toy chica is voiced by Amber Lee Connors you won't get tired of my voice will you she's like a legit voice actor she voices Peak and Attack on Titan and also a bunch of other major and minor roles in animes I've never heard of I'll fire this pistol and then you'll be dead and she got her start as Android 18 in Dragon Ball Z a bridged how quickly bravado goes out the window when you're flat on your ass fingo get him how is the strangest thing about this game the fact that there's a mission where Android 18 gets relentlessly mocked by Jimmy Neutron Jimmy wake up time for school better activate bedroom [Music] Android what do you want depending on how fast you beat it you can unlock Mr chipper or anim dude if you talk to purple guy he says boy don't confuse me with the actual purple guy I'm just a game Sprite H so maybe this Sprite isn't William because it's a representation of him on the flip side corrupted by Williams murders H after getting a good team you can head into Guist Lair the boss of which is purple Guist and then you find out the real boss is chica Magic Rainbow and when you win you appear behind desk man again I'm impressed what are you doing here can't you see that I'm busy you deactivated my gains I don't know what else to do I don't want to disappoint people but my mind isn't right I've made something terrible her name is baby it's too late to deactivate her I'm sorry once again if you interpret deskman as Scott then he's saying these games were bad and now he's made something also of low terrible quality and that it name is baby or if this is Henry then you've destroyed his attempts to reach the flip side and now his mind isn't right and he's created baby but who is Baby the show will begin momentarily everyone please stay in your [Music] seats it's important to note that these yellow eyes are not Square they have a star shape this is not the same person this is not the REM injected human who spoke to CCE earlier it's another pair of eyes who maybe was able to communicate to CCE in some way and is also this baby person I promise all of this will make sense in like 5 minutes but also if you already know what happens in FNAF 5 then I'm probably really annoying you which is fine because I am [Music] annoying also desk guy is dead so it's possible that after making baby Henry killed himself that is what happened in the books in the books William kills Charlie Henry then takes this doll and cries over it and so Charlie's Remnant and his Agony mixed together and Charlie possesses the doll so then Henry builds four progressively older looking robots so that Charlie can have her Essence put into them and grow up like a normal person and the fourth one he makes is baby he also tells Charlie that it was actually her Brother Sam that died but in reality his wife took Sam and then just left cuz he had gone crazy and was building a bunch of robots so after Henry builds baby he he builds it and like he's really angry he he puts all of his anger and Malice into it and after he does that he realizes he he's done messed up so he kills himself and he also instructs his sister who's going to be raising Charlie to never let baby out of her closet and so William steals her and turns her into baby so these events in the game are currently one to one with the book in that after Charlie died Henry builds a robot that becomes baby and then kills himself in the very near future this will no longer be one to one with the books okay but we still got to figure out who is Baby and that answer can be found in Sister location title and trailer were released on on May 21st 2016 about a week after the FNAF World Halloween update if you've been memorizing every single little detail of this video so far which I hope you have been because there will be a test then the words sister location might make you remember the line in FNAF 3 when phone guy says there was a spring lock failure at a sister location this has nothing to do with that even a little bit at all probably but that is what everybody thought when this game was announced so we were all primed going into it to think it would be about something totally different than what it was actually about sister location released on October 7th 2016 but you better believe there were some shenanigans on Scott's website leading up to the release there was never just one gee I wonder why people thought this would be about an actual sister location there's a little of me in everybody it's actually the opposite of what ends up happening but whatever don't hold it against us these are those bitty bab things I hate and they're they're just so stupid I hate them cancelled due to leaks this was part of a hoax where Scott kind of pretended the game wasn't going to come out because someone had leaked it but if you brighten the image it's actually about the restaurant featured in the game the grand opening of circus baby's Pizza world has apparently been cancelled due to gas leaks the source code for the website included a schedule for different animatronics to be rented out giving us the names baby balora Funtime Freddy and Funtime foxy it also included phrases like Afton robotics chica's Party World client directory private birthday booking children entertainment service log maintenance and crmn inst people debate about what crmn inst means with the most popular speculation being criminal Institute or crewman installation I'll explain exactly what that stands for later the steam description reads in part welcome to Circus baby Pizza world where family fun and interactivity go beyond anything you've seen at those other pizza places so clearly this is a day at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza unlike every other FNAF game sister location is not a title where you sit in one spot and have to defend against animatronics for five progressively hard levels sister location is a full actual video game each night is a completely different challenge with a strong focus on narrative with full voice acting buckle up cuz we're going to talk about a whole lot of story right now obviously when it comes to the story of any FNAF games there are are three aspects one is the story that's actively being told like FNAF 2 the story is Jeremy surviving the weak and then being put on the day shift the second part is the story being told in the background so like the mini games the phone guy phone calls part three is the lore that would be Shadow Freddy Shadow Bonnie Chica missing her beak Etc sister location being completely linear means that all of these things are experienced by the player at specific times at a specific order there are no random just background Easter eggs you're being told a story interwoven with another story as well as being fed information about the series as a whole and that's really the only way to cover the game so this might get a little confusing the game opens with the dark cut scene panning past baby I'll play it for you now there's no doubting what you've achieved on a technical level these are clearly state-of-the-art there are just certain design choices that were made for these robots that we don't fully understand we were hoping that you could shed some light on those she can dance she can sing she's equipped with a built-in helium tank for inflating balloons right at her fingertips she can take song requests she can even dispense ice cream with all due respect those are the design choices we were curious about Mr Aton so first of all a confirmation that William Aton is the name of purple guy in the games secondly we seem to now be told that William Aton made baby this board member is questioning certain design choices so one maybe baby is dangerous for some reason two it seems like even if Henry made baby in some capacity that William took her over as his own they were Partners so that kind of makes sense and three but most importantly William Aton is British and that is so smart I love that Scott did that that literally made makes everything in the series so much simpler sister location proper then opens with you riding an elevator being spoken to by hand unit welcome to the first day of your exciting new career whether you were approached at a job fair red hour ad and screws bolts and hair pins or if this is the result of a dare we welcome you I will be your personal guide to help you get started I'm a model 5 of the handyman's Robotics and unit repair system but you can call me hand unit your new career promises challenge Intrigue and endless janitorial opportunities please enter your name as seen above the keypad this cannot be changed later it seems that you had some trouble with the keypad I see what you are trying to type and I will autocorrect it for you one moment welcome XG Benedict whoa hold on there fella the guy we're playing as is named Mike so the theory that frit Smith is Mike Schmidt and also the security guard in FNAF 3 and that all of them are also Fox bro only came about after this game the evidence was there all along but the idea wasn't sparked in anyone's mind until we realized that the series might have reoccurring characters I also think this was Scott kind of waving his hand in front of everyone and going like hey guys you didn't figure out who the player character was in the last game let me just point it out for you allow me to fill this somewhat frightening Silence with some light-hearted vent due to the massive success and even more so the unfortunate closing of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza it was clear that the stage was set no pun intended for another contender in Children's Entertainment unlike most entertainment venues our robotic entertainers are redit out for private parties during the day and it's your job to get the robots back in proper working order before the following morning now we had this discussion back during FNAF 3 the closing of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza can refer to three different times after the first closing in ' 85 the second in 87 or the 3D in '92 it cannot be referring to fredbears Family Diner because that was not a Freddy Fazbear's Pizza so this company came into existence after a Freddy's closed we already know that foxy and Freddy are part of this game's cast and that another restaurant called chica's Party World exists so the characters have been folded into this sister company with all of that said hand unit says the rental business circus baby entertainment and Rental opened after Freddy's closed our robotic entertainers are r out for private parties during the day meaning that circus baby's Pizza may have been simultaneous with Freddy's and thus technically may have been the sister location that was active during the time of FNAF 3's tapes it could be where the spring lock accident happened but if it is the game never tells you in the Next Room the main office area we see two windows on either side that lead to bora's gallery and Funtime Auditorium hand unit asks us to shock balora and the fun times as you go through through the vent to Circus baby's Gallery a voice tells you that there's been motion detected exactly where you are in the vent motion trigger circus Gallery event I'm glad that they told us that that definitely will not be terrifying later in the game when it says that there's motion and event that we're not in and scary and it scares me you then shock baby three times but you don't see her you are then told that your shift is over you then go home and you just watch some TV I'm going to wait to talk about all of these scenes at the end of the video but just know that after every shift you watch a small clip of the immortal and the Restless welcome back for another night of intellectual stimulation pivotal career choices and self-reflection on past mistakes we're committed to creating a unique and fulfilling work experience one part of that commitment is ensuring that you don't get tired of the voice that you're hearing right now using the keypad below please select a new companion voice for it seems that you had some trouble with the keypad I see what you were trying to type and I will autocorrect it for you thank you for choosing angsty teen ha so now the helper voice is going to be an angsty teen how how not annoying at all the elevator stopped you know the routine you can get out now or whatever so funny story a dead body was found in this vent once okay so not that funny but it's a story so that means that one of the previous maintenance guy has died that's rough buddy you should check on balora and make sure she's on her stage but whatever huh I guess Bora has better things to do let's zap her that should be fun if you correct the audio in this scene you can hear him say argumentative standards elevation passive Heights this of course means nothing but it is acronymed as ASF as in ASF is not a phase it's not a phase mom cuz I'm an angsty teenager when you try to zap baby again later hand unit declares there's been a power issue let's try another control shock there seems to be a power malfunction that is affecting our ability to properly motivate baby please stand by while I reboot the system this scene with baby then plays motion trigger entryway vent Funtime Auditorium maintenance vent opened yeah something's coming after you Bora Gallery maintenance vent opened then baby starts talking I don't recognize you you are new she says that she doesn't recognize us she then protects us from the stupid bitty Babs there is a space under the desk someone before you crafted it into a hiding place and it worked for him I recommend that you hurry though you will be safe there just try not to make eye contact it will be over soon they will lose interest you have to hold the door closed until they notice the baby is watching them and then they run away baby then helps us again to survive balora when your guide comes back online he is going to tell you that he was unsuccessful that you must restart the system manually he will then tell you to crawl through balora Gallery as fast as you can to reach the breaker room if you follow his instructions you will die hand unit's advice would get us killed but baby wants to protect us balora obviously does not care about our wellbeing balora will not return to her stage anymore she will catch you the power will be restored shortly baby's comments that shocks won't work on balora anymore are mildly concerning as if something happened the previous night to change balora permanently she cannot see you and can only listen for your movement thank you for your patience it seems that the power system cannot be restarted automatically you will need to restart the power system manually please return to the primary control module you will now be required to crawl through the balora gallery using the vent to your left to reach the breaker room it is recommended that you stay low to the ground and reach the other side as fast as possible as to not disturb balora I will deactivate myself momentarily as to not create an auditory disturbance deactivate walking through the gallery you can hear balora singing this is her full song at full volume [Music] [Music] sing dance it seems you are taking a long time please proceed as quickly and as quietly as possible you eventually reach the breaker room and have to restart the power while Funtime Freddy watches potentially killing you he's controlled by the bon bon puppet on his hand who can make him stop hunting you looking at the breaker map is the most annoying part of FNAF theorizing because it changes literally everything about the entire story no I am not [Music] joking the white outlined rooms are the rooms in Circus baby's rental the elevator room the main office area bora's room on the left with the breaker room that you're now in that little black Square represents Funtime Freddy who's in the room with you this screen clearly actively tracks animatronics to the right is the Funtime Auditorium where Freddy and Foxy should both be but Freddy's with you so the square in there is only foxy up towards the top is the room with the desk that you hid under earlier and then baby's room around the Funtime Auditorium are rooms will see later in the game like parts and services it's unclear if this is to be taken as a literal Map There's also no way of accessing any of the rooms besides the little office that you go through which also cannot be the case there are other buildings connected to the complex with these gray lines they're thinner than the vents you crawl through there's also the fact that as a building this doesn't make any sense like is baby's area really that far away from the others where do people walk to get to each location where's the bathrooms basically I'm saying this is clearly not a two scale or finished or full diagram which is important because this gray line that connects from circus baby's Gallery connects to the FNAF 4 map that white dot is CeCe in his bedroom grandfather clock room sister room on the right living room on the left and then the city block you walk down to reach Freddy's and then there are two more animatronics fredbear and spring Bonnie now this would imply that the house is bigger than the whole block so it's obviously just a representation of that area showing connection via what I assume is either an underground power line or a secret tunnel connected to baby's Gallery these red symbols indicate camera placements and this is labeled observation 1 indicating the area where the grandfather clock is I didn't talk about this white section but later in the game we will see it it's a sort of hidden office with monitors basically where a security guard would stay and it's connected to the FNAF 4 gameplay house white dot for the child in their room black dot in the closet for foxy two hallways on each side with Bonnie Chica and Freddy waiting in the rest of the house and there's another camera there you can turn on cheats in Five Nights at Freddy's 4 to see a display of the game map it'll even track where the animatronics are for you so this map was present in FNAF 4 and now we're seeing an identical layout of the house in Sister location and then least explainable is this hallway with a DOT for the player black dot for plush trap and then four rooms with four more black dots but there's no camera so what the what is going on Via cameras and possibly electricity baby's pizza and therefore baby's rental is connected to the FNAF 4 miname house the FNAF 4 gameplay house and the FNAF 4 hallway and fredbear's Family Diner and I don't think any of this is to scale or even in the correct location but the implication that this house and this house and this hallway are drastically different places is like it's like what like if this hallway was popped over here I'd be okay with it we already knew that these were different houses but now there's a third location and the nightmare animatronics were real including foxy in the closet and then there's just four more and four other closets who are you people for one this disproves dream theory as it shows that these are real places no one thinks that dream theory was still Canon at the time of sister location only that it may have been the intended idea one FNAF 4 was made but this cements that these are all real places and real things that happened and nobody knows what this means it makes perfect sense that baby's Pizza would be connected to Freddy's it has the same owner so that makes sense I think the gray outlines are to indicate that they're far away and not to scale we also know that these are not the same house so maybe after cce's death they moved but what is this hallway why is it over here is it Canon to the story that completing this challenge skips 2 hours of The Nightmare is whoever is watching these cameras making children do these things and rewarding them this is not in a miname you can't explain this away by saying it's just a representation or it's video game theory this is in the main gameplay Scott what is this I don't know what's in those closets this is where we need to bring up the silverized trilogy again despite releasing 2 years later the third book in the trilogy the fourth closet confusing title I know might explain what this means inside Charlie room are three closets inside one is a tiny robot named Ella that's like a children's toy like a doll we learn about this in the first book in the third book the fourth closet we learn what the closets actually are they're where hen restores the differently aged versions of robots for Charlie to grow into the fourth closet holds her adult form which Williams Steals and turns into baby so here's a hallway with four closets with an animat iic in each of them and maybe this is Henry's house not Williams that would explain why there's no camera here it also might explain why the springtrap plush is the bad guy this might be Charlie playing a game and distracting springtrap so that Mike's nightmares start later on in the night the white box is the player of the game which is the puppet maybe but that barely makes any sense I am not sold on any Theory so I I really got nothing to say about this whole section it's all a mystery it also makes it more confusing cuz FNAF World seemed to indicate that Henry built baby and in the books Henry built baby and then in this game William built baby and I don't I don't know what's going on anymore great job this completes your tasks for the night please proceed back through the Bora Gallery with care and we'll see you back here tomorrow after restoring power you get to go [Music] home Daddy just want let me go play with her she's so pretty and shiny didn't you make her just for me I don't think it's hard to imagine that William's daughter is talking about baby but she says didn't you make her just for me and as we've established Henry made baby let's just move on on the next day we first check out balora who is being ripped apart limb from limb by mini Arenas that's rough buddy also Funtime foxy is a girl let's check on Funtime foxy it's important to make sure she's on her stage before entering great it looks like everything is as it should be in Funtime Auditorium there is no need to check on baby tonight please refrain from entering unauthorized areas proceed directly to Funtime Auditorium so we have to go fix Funtime Freddy and are told not to go visit baby but if you do did you know that I was on stage once it wasn't for very long only one day what a wonderful day though I was in a small room with balloons and a few tables no one sat at the tables though but children would run in and out some were afraid of me others enjoyed my songs music was always coming from somewhere else down a all I would always count the children I'm not sure why I was always acutely aware of how many there were in the room with me two then three then two then three then four then two then none they usually played together in groups of two or three I was covered in glitter I smelled like birthday cake there were two then three three then five then four I can do something special did you know that I can make ice cream although I only did it once there were four then three then two then one something happened when there was one a little girl standing by herself I was no longer myself and I stopped singing my stomach opened and there was ice cream I couldn't move at least not until she stepped closer there was screaming for a moment but only for a moment then other children rushed in again but they couldn't hear her over the sounds of their own excitement I still hear her sometimes why did that happen yeah so baby is programmed to dispense ice cream if there's only ever one child around and when they go out to eat the ice cream baby snatches them and she did it to a young girl and I think we can see where that's going after a mini game where you take out Freddy's power module your shift is over so you go back through Funtime Auditorium great job you've acquired both power modules this completes your tasks for the night please exit the building through Funtime Auditorium and we'll see you back here again tomorrow you then get jump scared by foxy daddy she can make balloons have you seen her make balloons Oh Daddy Let Me Go to her shh be be still and quiet you've been sleeping for quite a while I think they noticed that you never left the building last night the cameras were searching for you but they couldn't find you I have you hidden too well I kidnapped you so you slept for like 20 hours and baby saved you from Funtime foxy don't be AF sorry I'm not going to hurt you I am only going to keep you for a little while try not to wiggle though you're inside something that came from my old Pizzeria I don't think it was ever used at least not the way it was meant to be used too dangerous so you're inside a spring lock suit meaning baby's Pizzeria had a spring lock suit in it and it wasn't used the way it was meant to be used meaning this is either William spring Bonnie suit or this is golden Freddy which was used to kill the vengeful Spirit but it's not actually either of those the face plate of the suit opens up like the Funtime animatronics not like the old Classic Suits so who used this and what was it for also this spring lock suit is not a gray Square on the breaker room map you're in the scooping room do you know why they call it the scoop in room it's because dummy this is the room where they use the scooper I thought that would be obvious baby then tells us we're in the scooping room and then to be quiet because someone is coming now if I was attacked by foxy and then kidnapped by baby and put in Spring lock suit I would want to be saved by people but baby doesn't want us to tell anybody that we're here it sounds like someone else is in the building shh okay bring her over forward one more okay stop set it down watch the step what I have to do it this time just seems like these things can't go a day without breaking down who knows it's always the same man some kind of Hardware malfunction well hey I have to be somewhere in 15 minutes and this place gives me the crease can we just get this over with it's all automated we don't have to be here for it just get her on the rollers and we can go balora then get scooped there's something very important that I've learned how to do over time do you know what that is how to pretend do you ever play Make Believe pretend to be one way when you are really the other it's very important balora never learns but I do they think there is something wrong on the inside the only thing that matters is knowing how to pretend [Music] I'll open the face plates for you that way they can find you on the cameras now all you have to do is wait baby then opens the face plate so they can see us on the camera but why couldn't these men have just saved us baby obviously wanted us to see balora getting scooped also the mini Arenas that were with balora start crawling in to attack us and the spring locks are going to are going to open and you're going to die after surviving long enough to be rescued there's no scene where you have to explain why you didn't leave the building or why you're in a suit you just go home then night five starts after being told we're going to get some exotic Butters you've earned your onewe bonus which will be given to you in the form of a delightful gift basket the cost of which will be taken out of your next paycheck we have gift baskets containing fruit nuts flowers and of course the ever popular cash basket using the keypad below please enter the first few letters of the gift basket you would like to receive it seems you had some trouble with the keypad I see what you were trying to type and I will autocorrect it for you thank you for selecting exotic Butters Please be aware that there are still two technicians on site today try to avoid interfering with their work if possible also feel free to ask them why they are still there and encourage them to go home the two technicians from the previous night are still here I wonder what that's about let's check on balora and make sure she's on her stage great now let's check on Funtime foxy great it looks like everything is as it should be in Funtime Auditorium well that was terrible okay dark so circus baby had a rough day and is in need of repair you will be required to reach the parts and service room by once again sneaking through Funtime Auditorium motion trigger parts and service great job reaching parts and service circus baby has been deactivated for an unknown reason it's your job to make sure she is structurally stable and secured to the conveyor our technicians will take it from there circus baby has been deactivated for an unknown reason where going to learn what that reason was in a moment if you fail this section you get attacked by an endoskeleton which has three eyes for some reason I'm pretending remember how I said I could pretend the cameras are watching I must be careful not to move something bad happened yesterday something bad always happens I don't want it to happen again there is something bad inside of me these lines are the most annoying in the game cuz they could mean so many things is the bad thing her breaking down is it her scooping children does she steal a child every time she gets rented out is the bad thing inside of her the child that she just stole or is it her being evil in general is the bad thing her evil AI or is the bad thing the soul of the little girl that she ate all those years ago I don't know and nobody does a hat should have opened take the car card that you find inside now you must turn back I will guide you through Funtime Auditorium so you can reach the scooping room when you are there I want you to destroy this body put the card into your handheld device and I can continue to speak to you now press the green button to your left this will send me to the scooping room so you remove this weird card from baby with two blinking green lights baby is asking you to destroy this body theoretically the way the scooper works is it removes the endoskeleton and then destroys the bodies and this must be done on a regular basis due to the fact that the technicians from earlier think it's so normal so it makes sense that the outer shells are broken every once in a while and then replaced but baby has just put her Consciousness in this chip so she can continue to communicate with you despite her body being destroyed now if I know anything about souls haunting metal in this world it's that that's not how it works that chip might contain baby's artificial intelligence but it does not contain the remnant from the child inside of her that's in the endoskeleton so baby telling you to save what is good she's telling you to save the AI not the child's Soul you're now separating the two from each other and I think that that is the key to everything you must follow my instructions in Funtime Auditorium balora is going to follow you she will try to catch you I will help you avoid her she will not follow you inside the scooping room she is afraid wait I thought balora dun got scooped also in this scene more than any others you can hear this weird Ambient sound in the background I'll get back to what that is once we're done with the story baby then guides us through the Funtime Auditorium into the scooping room well is behind you she is afraid of the scooping room she will not follow you Bora being here is weird given that this is not her room it's Funtime Auditorium also she's not making any music which is also weird warning you've entered a highly dangerous area you have entered from maintenance hatch 1B reserved for cleaning and repair of the scooper entering this side of the room is strictly prohibited by unauthorized personnel you are in the scooping room now Funtime foxy has already been here today Funtime Freddy has already been here today balora has already been here today circus baby has already been here today I've been out before but they always put me back they always put us back inside there's nowhere for us to hide here there is nowhere to go when we look like this and that thing out there is enered an amalgamation of all the endoskeletons from the fun times they said that there's a little bit of him in every body but it's actually the case that all of the bodies make up him but if we looked like you then we could hide if we looked like you then we would have some where to go the scooper only hurts for a [Music] moment they scoop you out so they can wear your skin as a shell and blend in on the surface we then hear the final moment of baby's encounter with the little girl with afton's daughter don't tell Daddy that I'm here I wanted to watch your show too I I don't know why he won't let me come see you you're wonderful where did the other children go back in Mike's apartment as the music for The Immortal and the Restless plays we see him look at himself in the mirror he opens his eyes to reveal that Enard is inside him if this is Mike Schmidt and Enard is inside him does that mean that you play as Enard in FNAF 1 his eyes were purple so does that mean that Enard is purple guy no no if you die in FNAF one you can see Mike's eyeballs and obviously purple guy was killing before circus babies opened when he killed Charlie and Mike is not William given that we know his name is Mike throughout the game much like in FNAF 2 you have a chance of playing this miname upon death you play as baby giving treats to Children if you skip a section and get a different power up and then back track you can make sure every child gets a treat you wouldn't do this on your first attempt so just like the FNAF three mini games there's a normal ending and the lore relevant ending or in my theory there's the real in Universe video game and then the game as it's corrupted by the spirits because when baby returns to the start of the game after handing ice cream to all the [Music] children w we see baby dispense ice cream and snatch this little girl William aton's daughter in this miname baby has blue eyes and the daughter has green but throughout the whole game baby has had green eyes meaning that this is the moment she becomes possessed and that's the end of the game that's the canonical ending there is a good ending to the game but that's actually the fake ending if you know baby is evil and you ignore her instructions in the dark and instead you move move the opposite way it leads you to the room scene on the circuit breaker map and you can reach the alternate ending it seems that you have accidentally wandered into a restricted area due to the sensitive nature of the materials that you may be exposed to here you will not be allowed to leave until the cleanup crew arrives at 6:00 a.m. so hang tight rest assured that you will be promptly rescued fired then sent home thank you for being an employee we hope that your experience has not been as regrettable as ours this is a legitimate FNAF game Security office where you now have defend off Ard by closing vents just like a good old FNAF game the celebrate poster mimics the one from the original game but more importantly there's a fredbear plush on the table he has Beady white eyes just like the animatronics do when they're possessed and he's holding a remote of some sort there's a keypad above it and if you type in the numbers 1983 then the staticy TV is turn on the bottom left shows the plush trap hallway the top TV shows the Night gameplay room from FNAF 4 with the left door in the closet easily discernable and the bottom TV shows a top down view of the bed this means a few things and they're all weird and complicated we've determined already that the owner and inventor of circus babies is William Aton the purple guy so why is he watching these rooms well I'll have to go back to that and we'll have to talk about one more lore important cut scene I will find a way way [Music] out when you beat Enard you return home and you watch Immortal and the Restless and then Enard crawls in and assumably kills you anyway but that's not all in a DLC update to the game we unlock custom Knight custom Knight offers a few challenges to go through in this office but it uses all the animatronics from the game plus a few more there's the stupid freaking bitty Babs Funtime Freddy foxy balora electr Babs which are bitty Babs that fail in out of eels Funtime L bit which looks kind of like Foxy and you have to type LOL on the keyboard to send him away which is something it's interesting lorewise I guess I think it's just a joke it's a LOL in a living hell no Bonnet is a female Bonnie yendo is this game's version of golden Freddy most people think his name is short for yellow Endo like how golden Freddy was yellow bear in the first game also the mini Arenas can attack you notable is that baby is not here although she does talk to you and tempts you into letting them win using the voice of aton's daughter after beating one of the challenges you're rewarded with a cut scene of meat puppeted Mike walking down the street did best and back in the saddle again okay I did it I did it iing did it all right so what I'm going to do is I'm going to oh [Music] hey is that purple guy that's the only thing that I can assume about this he's wearing a purple shirt and his mouth is very weird so I'm assuming I'm assuming that was purple guy walking down the street and everybody assuming it was purple guy so I'm I'm I'm guessing he hid very well due to the fact that he's possessed these cut scenes are obviously a continuation of the main Canon ending meaning these scenes take place after the original game and unlike this moment with Enard in the living room these are Cannon as you progress through the game you see Mike decompose more and more until this happens [Music] you won't die you won't die you won't die baby says you won't die and then Mike stands right back up his eyeballs regenerating gaining control over his body once more since he didn't die this is not as some fans have deemed it Mike possessing his own corpse this is just him surviving the ordeal the silver ice Trilogy explains explains this as a character is injected with Remnant which heals him because this scoop is not a scooper it's actually a child Remnant installer a crmn ins NST so even though Mike was host to a giant robot for several days and probably in complete Agony he survives and heals and will eventually return to looking normal then the biggest lore drop hits and we can finally talk about what these last three games all mean father it's me Michael I did it I found it it was right where you said it would be they were all there that's right Mike the character we have been playing as is William afton's son and by extension this little girl's brother Mike Schmidt the guy from FNAF 1 frit Smith and FNAF 2 the guard in FNAF 3 that is purple guy son and he is Foxy bro and the code 1983 in his office and the fredbear plush on the desk well that shows that CeCe is also purple guy's son the main character of the series is the main villain's son and his journey started when he accidentally got his brother killed by one of his father's inventions and that's why it's so smart that William is British because now anyone with a British accent is clearly an afon it's so good and this isn't even the end of the speech they didn't recognize me at first but then they thought I was you this shows that Mike has familiarity with the robots but I think it's actually in here because Scott is laughing at all the theorists who thought that the ending of the game meant that Mike was purple guy they thought I was you the player thought that Mike was purple guy well now we get one of the most important lines in everything I found her I put her back together just like you asked me to she's free now but something is wrong with me I should be dead but I'm not I've been living in Shadows so William told Mike to put the sister back together and fredbear told CeCe he would put him back together and fredbear is in William's office a lot of people think this is a microphone and that fredbear plush's lines were William speaking through him like confessa bear from SpongeBob in fact people use this episode of SpongeBob to mock this idea in the community my name is confessa tell me all your secrets the thing is that's not a walkie-talkie which would have maybe four buttons maximum that's a camera controller with 20 buttons and a dial to control the cameras the TVs are displaying the feeds from I honestly think the plush being right there is a coincidence this plush was sold in real life as actual merch and it was labeled as possessed and I do think it is possessed but not by Charlie not by the vengeful spirit I think the plush is possessed by CCE the idea of dual possession has been mildly controversial with some people refusing to accept it outright based on the explanation of possession I outlined in this very video two sets of memories imprinting on one endoskeleton wouldn't actually make any sense but that's because that's not how dual possession works the vengeful Spirit was imprinted on the endoskeleton CCE is inside the doll in the silverized trilogy we know Charlie dies and possesses robots that were made for her to grow up into but the actual thing that she's possessing the way that she's able to shift her Consciousness to different robots is that she's actually inside of a doll that doll is her and her aunt moves it into the next robot when it's time for her to upgrade I think this plush is possessed by Cece and that at some point in the future that plush will be placed inside golden Freddy there is only one thing left for me to do now I'm going to come find you I'm going to come find you so Mike is off to find his father and then we get confirmation that springtrap William purple guy survived the FNAF 3 [Music] fire before we make any amount of sense out of the last three games we need to place sister location in the timeline in the beginning we're told that circus baby's rental opened after the success and unfortunate closing of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Freddy's pizza is different than fredbears Family Diner and there were only three Freddy's that closed 855 87 and '92 the success of Freddy's means it cannot be the 87 location because that location was only opened for a week and the FNAF one 1992 location closed not due to murders but due to low attendance meaning only one location was a success but had an unfortunate closing being the first Freddy's location after the MCI in 1985 it's clear that William told Mike to go to Circus baby's entertainment and Rental so the game must happen before he gets spring locked and the most logical place to put it is before FNAF 2 meaning this all is the impetus for Mike to go looking for William his father by becoming the night security guard at Freddy's in FNAF 2 and one and Fazbear frights before we talk about that we need to do a detour into the books again Remnant is brought up in the fourth closet as the haunted metal that makes the animatronics come back to life I already said how a character is injected with it and survives when he's injected with it he's able to see the spirit world the MCI kids he talks to to have an abstract control over the animatronics and also don't understand that they're dead now in the books William injects the kid with a combination of all of their Remnant I think if the kid was only injected with one person's Remnant he would only have been able to see that one kid instead he's able to see all of them we find out from some blueprints that the scooper is actually a Remnant injector it's called a SC c u scalable creation of ulterior presence or it's a machine with the ability to haunt something to various levels and that the bucket on the scoop is the remnant injector the child Remnant installer from earlier it specifically notes that there is a trace amount on the scoop at all times which explains how it entered Michael even though he wasn't intended to be haunted much like in the book it also notes that while the metal needs to be heated to become malleable which is what allows William to combine the animatronics if it's heated too far then the remnant will go away which once again backs up the whole idea that it's kind of like an imprint on the circuit board as opposed to Soul juice in the books there are Funtime animatronics just like in Sister location and it's explained that willium is taking bits of Remnant from the combination of all the original animatronics and is creating these other robots which explains how bidybabs and mini renas come to life it's not like they each have one Soul per tiny little animatronic it's that the remnant is dividable and people who take issue with Souls being dividable I just want to say again I believe Remnant is more like memory your computer memory can be divided we have different regions in our brain that specialize in different things if you cut your brain in half into two loes then you wind up with two different consciousnesses they each have a little bit of the memories of the MCI kids a little bit of who they are and their Humanity used to bring the machines to life which is then overwritten by their AI That's What scalable means in scoop it allows the fun times to have more or less Remnant as needed and theoretically balora and Freddy and Foxy would have more than the bitty Babs scalable ulterior presence scalable hauntings much like in the books it's believed that this Remnant comes from the MCI kids a lot of people try to fit this together with the mini games in FNAF 3 where William disassembles the original animatronics but that does not make any sense he dies at the end of that game which hardly makes it possible that he started this rental business made all these machines haunted sent Mike down there and then died people actually try to claim that all of the logistics of him doing that happened in one night after after destroying these animatronics but before getting springtrapped after the original closing of Freddy's the animatronics were returned to William we know this happened with the spring lock suits because Fon guy says it in FNAF 3 and there is no current Freddy's location so obviously one of the two owners would take them and it's probably the one with a massive workshop and a robotics company Henry also would have bowed out of the company by then because phone guy never met him never even knowing his name but phone guy was around around the the time that the spring locks were decommissioned and when the MCI was happening as the tapes in FNAF 3 show so William gets the original animatronics back after the MCI filled with the souls of the kids he killed he experiments on them taking enough remant to create the fun times and bitty Babs leaving them to behave like Monsters like animals with lesser cognitive awareness the fun times are powered by their Remnant and they're designed to get more that's why baby has a giant claw BB then kills his daughter circus babies never opens he converts it to a rental service and then Freddy's is opening again with toy animatronics that William did not make William tells Mike to go to Circus babies to put his sister back together while he becomes a night security guard at Freddy's kills more kids fails to have them possess any more animatronics Mike gets scooped and crucially is able to see the ghosts of the MCI children finally realizing what his father has done so he goes in search of William and goes to Freddy's to be the night guard the day after The Bite of 87 he tries to tamper with the animatronics to see them to see if they're haunted to communicate with them like he did with the other children but he gets fired and Freddy's closes and the withers are moved back to the original location where William goes to destroy them to cover his tracks he gets spring locked behind a wall where Mike can't find him for decades Mike says he put baby back together if putting someone back together means putting their Memories Back Together to the point where their Consciousness overtakes the AI programming of the robot or animatronic then this moment where he removes this card from baby is when I believe he put baby back together this card is baby the character the AI and once it's removed the sister can gain control over the animatronic the endoskeleton that has now become part of Enard is the sister and the next game in the series will confirm this remember a really really long time ago when I said so I think we should be on the lookout for any human characters in the story who get injected with Remnant who might want to help Cece and who could be the person speaking these lines so that's Mike meaning the eyes in the void talking to CCE in the beginning and the end of FNAF world is Mike he's in this trippy dreamlike state after he's been injected with Remnant at the end of sister location and he says everything that happens out there has an effect here do you understand this is a safe place this is a sanctuary but something has gone wrong and now it can be seen here something went very wrong that's why I am here something wrong you say but something is wrong with me but I won't let the same happen to you and if William told Mike to put his sister back together it makes sense that Mike would then use that phrase when discussing how he wanted to put CeCe back together I put her back together just like you asked me to I will put you back together because this conversation when he says this to Cece happens after sister location we are still your friends do you believe that the pieces are in place for you all you have to do is find them rest so it's in this nebulous time that FNAF World takes place and I'll explain how I know this and what it has to do with the hippo later but the only thing that's really important is that Mike has a conversation with Henry Henry says that there's nothing that Mike can do come have a seat and let's fish for a while you have nowhere else to go but Mike blows him off and goes straight to the FNAF 2 location and Henry starts making video games to try to contact the flip side now let's go back and Sol FNAF 4 I believe CeCe did have a fredbear plush as a kid and maybe it was his imaginary friend but the text in those mini games is non diagetic a didn't actually happen CCE didn't hear those words back in 1983 the bear did not have a speaker it did not talk to him psychically that text dialogue was for the benefit of the player who is the vengeful Spirit at the end of the mini games the dialogue spoken to Cece in the void is the first dialogue Mike actually spoke to him beside his deathbed it then becomes the dialogue that Mike will say to Cece in FNAF world after Mike is injected with Remnant in Sister location the first and last cutcenes in FNAF world is Mike the glowing yellow square eyes speaking to Cece the fredbear plush being on every screen doesn't mean he was literally there it was a way for Henry to watch the events play out it's like a Christmas Carol the vengeful spirit is Scrooge and Henry is fredbear acting in the role of the ghosts going back to view these memories the plush isn't actually in any of these places he's watching things unfold alongside the main character the vengeful Spirit as ethereal flips side spectral Spectators toy chica is missing her beak in the game because the game was made after FNAF 2 actually happened it was made after 1987 where the robot toy chica was missing her beak there were toys of the animatronics there were spring Bonnie plushes but this dialogue about it being a finger trap was not actually said to Cece it's dialogue that Henry wrote for the vengeful Spirit to hear the player of FNAF world is the vengeful spirit and all of these mini games that we we play in the core titles are just like the mini games we play in the FNAF World Halloween update they are mini games created by deskman created by Henry to communicate with the other side to communicate with the vengeful Spirit they're based on real events but they're fictionalized allowing for callbacks and references to things that happened before the game's creation but after the time the event depicted actually took place with the hindsight biases and Narrative of Henry specifically yes this theory is very out there but it explains everything it explains the weird stuff in the FNAF 4 mini gamess it even explains the completely overlooked weirdness that is the mini games in the first place it's not like Jeremy is experiencing these mini gamess in FNAF 2 that's because every game is from the experience of two characters the nighttime security guard who's playing Through the Night gameplay segments and the vengeful Spirit who is playing through the Atari mini games you know why you have to die to play the mini games in FNAF 2 cuz the vengeful Spirits dead it also explains all the weird things you have to do in FNAF 3 like clicking a poster tapping on wall tiles like no that that doesn't lead to games because everything you do has an effect in here every action you take has an effect in the flip side side I think Mike is doing certain things that are causing ripples over to the Video Game World which then allow the vengeful Spirit to set up happiest day FNAF 3 is the big finale where Mike and the vengeful Spirit cross paths in order to make happiest day happen an ending where Mike affects the flip side defeats William and then the vengeful Spirit frees CeCe that's a great finale I think the reason finaf is so confusing is because each video game takes place in a year that we don't know the only solid date is 1987 and then within each game are games that depicts events that happens who knows when and that were created and experienced by the spirit who knows when and some nights are dreams and some mini gamess are games meant to be games but some are games not meant to be games that are being used to communicate with ghosts and in one of them Henry is lying in the third book in the silverized trilogy it turns out that Charlie is a robot we know that already Aton did not kill Charlie's brother Sam when they were children he killed Charlie Henry then cries into a doll and the tears and sadness possess the doll with Charlie spirit and then she's haunting a robot of herself and then she was told that Aton killed her brother but not really the mom actually took the brother and then left Henry and he spiraled out of control after Charlie's death and whatever and I think that that is Scott doing an in Universe reccon of FNAF 2's take cake to the children mini game the background audio of that game spells out s a v h i n Save him but now we know that this is Charlie but the game says save him and Charlie is a girl and I think that's because this is an in Universe lie so that the spirit playing the game the vengeful Spirit thinks it was not Charlie that was killed it was her brother because this is a lie that Henry wants to maintain when Henry made this game to be experienced by the vengeful Spirit he intentionally hid information so that the spirit would not know that Charlie was dead because that's what he did in the books thus this is not a mistake if was reconed into being a Lie by the narrator this event happened William killed Charlie outside of Freddy's and this is a real video game you can play at a Freddy's arcade but Henry made this game so that the spirits possessing the robots who can interact with the flip side Dimension where video games are real could see the murder happen and falsely believe this was Charlie's brother Sam and that is why FNAF is so confusing even though it makes perfect sense I hate my life glitch fredbear in a world is William the same way that William's evil Deeds infect video games by causing purple guy to appear I think that his will his desires to fix his son manifests as glitch bear William wants to put CeCe back together so it makes sense that he would kill this child and tell them to put CeCe back together glitch bear says this is a safe place a sanctuary the truth is that there is no no safe place you don't understand that despite the limitations of the text I think that he's specifically quoting the square eyes from the beginning in a mocking way this is a safe place this is a sanctuary this is a safe place a sanctuary the truth is that there is no safe place you don't understand that so he's not the square eyes he's actually antagonistic against the square eyes because the square eyes is Mike with William killed the MCI kids to experiment with eternal life and bringing people back but he created the vengeful Spirit to do this you were made for one thing and I'm not saying that William is saying these things he's not thinking these words in their head and having them manifest in a video game it's his will his desire that is manifesting in the other dimension as this corruption and you could argue that William setting up happiest day is is backwards but but for one he kind of does that in the books and two I think it's actually what makes him a compelling character he killed a bunch of children to save his son he's not a mad scientist or someone who went crazy because he experienced loss he was trying to save him and he convinced Mike to help and then Mike found out how his father was going about it so he kned on out of there a lot of FNAF theories try to say that Mike was actually doing his father's bidding and at some point had a change of heart and changed from a bad guy into a good guy and I hate this Theory I think the opposite is true I think William was having good intentions he wanted to save his son and then he realized that to do it he had to kill children and so he made the decision to kill children Mike agreed with this endeavor until he saw what his father was willing to do the best villains are the ones with good motivations who take things too far they want a good outcome but their method is evil and they say that the ends justify the means I think William and Mike were both good until William turned evil I think the series right now can be broken down into two trilogies FNAF 1 through three and then four world and sister location FNAF 1 through three are not a straightforward story but they are a story whereas FNAF 4 world and sister location are more of a story but you need every piece of all three of them in order to put that story together after sister location it's very obvious that Mike is Foxy bro and that purple guy William is their father we were supposed to know that just from FNAF 4 it's possible but no one did it I think the reason that the second Trilogy was so intertwined with its narrative is because Scott now knew what he was doing and he was able to plant seeds earlier on that would be paid off in future games he was Forward Thinking and enough to be able to craft a long form story so now that we have all of those pieces what's going on what about the breaker room map this confirms that the FNAF 4 gameplay house and the plush trap room were being watched by William and that they are real places we know that this is Mike we know that he has dreams about this location after FNAF 1 because of the FNAF 1 phone call but that does not mean he didn't go through it as a child and then dream about it later I said a very long time ago that Scott likes to take criticism of his games and address it in the next game FNAF 4 was scary because FNAF 3 wasn't scary I think sister location is a narrative because of how cryptic FNAF 4 was I think these cameras and this plush are here to show us that one dream theory was never correct two that CCE is William's son and that Mike is Foxy bro and three I think it's there to make the point that while in every other FNAF game we play as a security guard in FNAF 4 we don't unless you consider it from the perspective of the person looking at the cameras I think William is watching FNAF 4 happen live through his cameras and is controlling the animatronics it's the reverse of FNAF gameplay which makes sense because it's literally being played by the villain there was a viral post many many years ago saying Nintendo should make a game where you play as Bowser and have to place enemy and obstacles to stop Mario from reaching you and that's kind of what Mario maker is there is this game made by Ubisoft called zomu that actually puts you in this role one player is playing a first-person shooter while the other person is placing down zombies and different PowerUp to try to stop the player my friends and I jokingly call this mode a seconders shooter and I bring this up to sort of explain my thinking for the role that William would play in FNAF 4 I think he's the person sending the waves of animatronics at Mike and he's just watching things unfold but I don't think that they actually look like this I think this Visage is Just an Illusion in the books and I hope I'm almost done saying that there are things called illusion discs think of them looking more like floppy discs rather than CD ROMs the science behind them is complete nonsense they are basically described as the opposite of white noise they aren't just a sound that blends into the background that you can ignore instead they produce a sound that overtakes and overloads your senses so much that your brain just sort of shuts down given that every element of your body is run off of electricity and that your Consciousness and your senses are all processed in your brain the idea is that the illusion discs are hijacking that process and thus they can make you see or hear or even feel anything that they're programmed to it's kind of like the Matrix your brain thinks it's real because sense data processing is being tampered with except instead of a plug being injected into the back of your head your brain is being hijacked by sound in the fourth closet William is able to project the image of springtrap dancing around like a ballerina to one of the main characters just by using an illusion disc it's telling her brain that there is a rabbit there and thus she can see it the nightmare animatronics are Illusions the reason that foxy in the closet becomes an actual foxy and then just a plush is because the disc is being turned on and off the Freddy plush on the bed becomes multiple vibrating freddles because the disc is being turned on these animatronics coming for you look like this because the disc is being turned on I already said that I think the original animatronics or the withereds pre FNAF 2 are in Williams house because he's the manufacturer so they've gone back to him and also because the advertising for FNAF 4 says what have you brought home well nothing in the game nothing gets brought home except for the animatronics in the situation that I theorized so once again I think these are the withered Bonnie Chica and Foxy with illusion discs which allows this to be withered Freddy and also this to be withered Freddy with a different setting I've already said that I think mangle existed pre FNAF 2 based on the way that he's described in that game I don't think that the redesign of Foxy would have been taken apart and put back together multiple times to the point where they gave up and gave him the name mangle over the course of the single week that FNAF 2 was open before we start playing and thus I believe that mangle existed in the first Freddy's location before the missing children incident that's also how there's a version of him in the sister's room he's never referred to as a toy animatron I and I also think he might be a precursor to Funtime Foxy the put together version of mangle and then Funtime foxy are completely different animatronics but if we assume that William first made the original animatronics and would later make the fun times mangle is this weird in between period that would mean that the real full mangle is somewhere in the FNAF 4 house and he's going unused probably because he's more out of order than the others spring Bond and golden Freddy are also stored somewhere in the house as well as balloon boy and I think those four are in the hallway in these closets that's what these dots are on the breaker room map four animatronics stored away withered Freddy Bonnie and Chica roaming the house foxy in the closet and keep in mind the two animatronics at fredbears would be the animatronics and not the spring lock suits the thing sitting on the chair is a plush trap doll in the Halloween update for FNAF 4 there's a new mode that getss added Scott made a really weird comment about it saying it's not canon and it introduces this weird little Goblin monster balloon boy Scott said that the character of night Marion is not canon but balloon boy is I think this means that even though William did use the spring Bonnie plush in whatever test he was running in FNAF 4 it's equally likely and equally possible that he could have used balloon boy because he's also in this Hall way but he could not have used an illusion disc to have an animatronic take on the appearance of the puppet because either he didn't have the puppet or because he didn't know that it was fully haunted and it wasn't an option FNAF 4 sister location and FNAF world are the most enigmatic games in the series and them all being this little Trilogy makes it really hard to talk about them so now we're finally going to finish discussing sister location like I said before these two dots are animatronics not spring lock suits at the fredbears location and these are Funtime Freddy Bora baby and Funtime foxy also this map is supposed to be the hint at getting the secret ending of the game you take the card from baby in parts and services and she gets conveyor belted into the scooping room which is why she tells you to go left so if you if you know that this room exists from studying the breaker room map then you will instead go right and you'll enter the office to play the bonus night throughout sister location there's a weird ambient noise in the background that when isolated and slowed down can be heard as baby saying the numbers 1 5 7 8 1 5 7 [Music] 8 after doing some quick math I've determined that this is likely May 1st 1978 or January 5th 1978 either way I believe that this is baby's birth year this is afton's daughter's birth year making her five in the events of FNAF 4 and slightly older than that when she died he definitely dies after CeCe all right now we can finally talk about the immortal and the Restless The Immortal and the Restless is the TV show that Mike watches between every shift except for the one he misses because he's passed out in the springwalk suit it's a soap opera about Vlad an obvious vampire and probable standin for William Aton given that he's Immortal and also purple his wife Clara is voiced by Amberly Connors who I talked about earlier voicing toy chica Clara I tell you the baby isn't mine count I tell you that it is you're the only vampire I've ever loved and the baby turns his bottles into powdered milk so Vlad says that their baby isn't his when it clearly is because it's a vampire and it does vampire things and this makes him and Clara argue the baby isn't mine I don't think it's a coincidence that there's a character named baby in this game Who and as I've pointed out previously was probably built by Henry in the final episode Vlad finally admits accidentally that the baby is his which coincides with Mike discovering that the death of his sister is his father's fault I'm keeping the diamond ring the joke's on you I found it in a kids meal you bought a kids meal oh Vlad CLA the end narration also says stay tuned for what happens to baby next season in the next game but what about the baby what about the back child support stay tuned next season for those answers and more so even though I'm very confident that the baby is baby I'm not entirely sure what the rest of this is about but it is more fuel to the fire of the topic of who created baby who made her originally FNAF world seems to imply Henry the books directly state it was Henry the only person who says it was William is his daughter in this game who says that he made it for her but in the immortal and the Restless the William standin character seems to say that the baby isn't his so who baby okay now on to the final game [Music] by final game I mean the start of a new Trilogy because the next three games all form a narrative combined and finish off The Saga that started with FNAF 1 but are all thematically contained as a Trilogy kind of like how FNAF 1 through 3 were a Trilogy four world and sister location were a Trilogy the games making up this Trilogy are Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria simulator Five Nights at Freddy's security log book and ultimate custom night first we're going to look at Pizzeria simulator in June of 2017 13 months after sister location and 6 months after the custom night update that got our heads spinning about the Apton family and William and Michael and Cece and and this girl Scott announced that FNAF 6 had been in development but was cancelled he was instead taking time off from serious game development and was developing another FNAF World style spin-off game focused around running your own Pizzeria in December Scott published the game on Steam with the following description presenting a fun Five Nights at Freddy's adventure with a lighter touch for the holidays Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria simulator put you in charge of developing your own restaurant design pizzas feed kids and get high scores the game was a free download it opened with an Atari Style 8bit miname and I think I'll let doo one of the most famous FNAF YouTubers take it from here what that what the what the freak the freak going on oh my my God Pizzeria simulator was in fact FNAF 6 it was released for free with a misleading title description and screenshots to pretend to be a smaller game but this was FNAF 6 and many consider it to be the true finale of the series Pizzeria simulator like sister location has full voice acting and immediately introduces two new characters tape guy is the first voice you hear explaining how to salvage old animatronics for use in your restaurant the purpose of this tape is to test automated response times and reactions from vintage interactive attractions following audio stimuli if you are playing this tape that means that not only have you been checking outside at the end of every shift as you were instructed to do but also that you have found something that meets the criteria of your special obligations under paragraph 4 follow these instructions document response times then safely secure the space before leaving upon sealing the room you are not to return the other new character is this corporate announcement guy whose voice is the same as hand unit together they kind of replace the role of phone guy being the people who give you instructions and explain the game play aside from the daily risk of lawsuits there's also the risk that something might be hiding inside whatever you just purchased with that steeply discounted price tag of of course that would only be a serious danger if there were something outside that's been trying to get in for months now which we are not confirming to be the case this concludes the amount of help we're legally obligated to provide remember you are now the face of the newly rebranded Freddy Fazbear's Pizza wear that smile with pride and let's make some money Fazbear entertainment is not responsible for disappearance death or dismemberment on top of these new human characters the game introduces a multitude of new animatronics for one circus baby is now damaged and it looks like she has fixed herself up with scrap metal in Parts leading to her now being called scrap baby springtrap is back and likewise is called scrap trap two more animatronics are added molten Freddy and Lefty molten Freddy is clearly the amalgamation of animatronics from Sister location minus baby who has left the group in fact this plot point that baby was kicked out of Enard was only told within the source code of Scott's websites for a limited period of time Scott's main website and the FNAF World site seemed to be in conversation with each other with the following alternating lines you are crowding us be quiet you can't tell us what to do anymore yes I can you will do everything that I tell you to do we outnumber you that doesn't matter dummy we found a way to eject you you would be lost without me say goodbye to our friend I can put myself back together this explains how baby was separated from Enard and how Enard became molden Freddy it seems very likely to me that this was a result of Mike putting her back together once the baby animatronic was all sister no baby the other animatronics didn't like that William their Killer's daughter was telling them what to do so she became independent again basically baby wants to do the bidding of her father while the rest of them hate afon then there's Lefty who is new it's it's kind of weird to introduce a new character at the end of the series like this I wonder if there's a secret about him these four animatronics can be salvaged or scrapped by the player if they're salvaged then they must be fought at the end of every night but if you scr any of them you can't get the real ending of the game during the night the game play is like a normal FNAF game but during the day you run a real Pizzeria simulation type game you have to earn money balance raising your score with the dangers of the attractions that you're bringing in among these attractions are normal play area type things like a ball pit as well as arcade machines and animatronics every day you get 10 tokens to use on the attractions which can earn you money some of the arcade machines let you play mini games to earn higher scores and the animatronics add small Snippets of new lore to the game you can order things from different cataloges in the game including DD weekly stands budget Tech smiles and servos and a rare finds auction the new animatronics from DD weekly include bucket Bob Mr can do Mr hugs number one crate and pan Stan Stan's budget tax sells you happy frog Mr hippo Ned bear and pig patch they also sell you fruity maze midnight motorist and Candy Cadet which are three things that have serious lore relevance smiles and servos sells you Rockstar Freddy Rockstar Bonnie Rockstar Chica and Rockstar foxy these are not any of the previous versions of Freddy and the Gang they're new versions maybe and rare finds auction sells you the security puppet Pizzeria simulator has multiple endings including running out of Money Getting Sued a lot and doing nothing except getting through the week and getting the lame ending congratulations you've completed a full week on the job and you've done it in such a lackluster way that no one is proud or disappointed it's a fine line to walk but you did it completing your job with such an efficient level of laziness that we're surprised you're able to dress yourself in the morning while such a minimalist work ethic is rare it doesn't mean that we want you back in fact it means you should look for employment elsewhere but before you go take this certificate of mediocrity you should be proud you stood on two feet and convinced someone that you could do something when in fact you couldn't now get out but there are two that are important for our discussion in order to get the lore keeper ending you need to play and beat some of the mini games one of these is security puppet which is the most straightforward you play as the puppet inside of a Freddy's location after playing the game several times you're greeted with an alternate take you have to protect the girl with the green bracelet but she's trapped outside and this is how the puppet becomes possessed by Charlie the puppet is a security device made to protect Charlie who was blocked from helping her on the day that will Willam came to murder her he went outside and found her body and so she possessed the puppet this was William's first murder and by playing this game you're receiving Henry's message about what happened that day the next game is fruity maze you play as a girl collecting fruit kind of like Pac-Man if you beat the game several times it begins to glitch you can see the reflection of the player in the screen it's a girl with blonde hair who goes from excited to sad eventually the game glitches enough and the fruit becomes dead bloody dogs the game ends and now you can clearly see spring Bonnie standing behind the girl he's not really dead he is over here follow me then the game ends this was William luring one of the MCI kids into the back room by pretending her dog hadn't died and instead was just in the other room he took her back there killed her and put her in chica based on the books we know this girl's name is Suzie William found a vulnerable child and led her to her death this is one of Williams MCI murders fun fact tangent there's a very popular theory that William killed the dog and experimented with it first before experim experimenting on any kids and that's how mangle got possessed which is why mangle is active during save them cuz he's a dog there's not really any evidence for this but I like it so the final game is midnight motorist there's a lot more debate about the meaning of this game compared to the others but I think it is actually very simple you play as a car speeding down the highway reaching extremely fast and dangerous speeds there's a hole in the bottom of the map and if you drive through it you reach a secret miname in this game you drive a purple car through the rain people immediately assume that this was William because it's a purple car you can park the car at this one specific location and when you get out you notice that you're actually playing as an orange person so not William absolutely not William this is not William in the top left corner of this clearing is a mound of dirt if you drive further you come to a parking lot the parking lot is for a building which has a blinking neon sign labeled Juniors a green man stands outside when you walk up to him he says come on you know you can't be here don't make this more difficult than it has to be you drive away further into the woods until you reach a house this is your house you get out and walk inside in the foyer is a person sitting on a chair watching a flickering t TV they say leave him alone tonight he had a rough day if you walk up the hallway you find a locked door that tells you not to close your door you say with a knock you take a few steps away and say to yourself This is my house you can't ignore me like that then you walk back open the door he doesn't respond I'll find a way in from outside so you walk outside around the back of the house and find an ominous scene the window to your son's room is broken completely shattered footsteps lead either toward or away from the window it's very hard to tell which very large animal tracks stand next to the bushes the footprints show two feet each with three toes there's a clearing in the bushes above you if you walk towards it you say ran off to that place again he will be sorry when he gets back but he never comes back the miname ends this story depicts orange guy an alcoholic father who went for a very fast and dangerous drive after hitting his limit at the local bar he drives back home well after midnight and stumbles in on his wife watching TV she tells him to go easy on their son indicating a history of abuse the son takes to locking the door and the father is so angry that he Stomps outside the son has broken out of his room and has gone to that place again which everybody agrees is Freddy's these animatronic Footprints indicate that something here was watching him and luring him outside and the most recent version of scrap trap has three toes fitting the description in one of the future games we see the fabric non-spring lock mascot suit for Bonnie and it also has three toes this like the other two mini games is a story about one of Williams victims he found a vulnerable child who wanted to escape his abusive home life and appeared outside his window in costume to lure him to Freddy's the newspapers in FNAF 1 say William LED two children into the back room of Freddy's in a mascot costume but later five victims were tied to the disappearances meaning up to three of them were taken in other way ways and I think this is one of them this is one of Williams MCI murders with that said this is extremely controversial simply because people really really really want this to be William they'll go so far as to claim that Juniors is a Freddy's location for some reason and that William can't go inside because he's a suspected killer and also William is orange now for literally no reason and he's an abusive father to his kids because duh he's a murderer so he's evil to everyone forgetting the fact that he literally promised to put two of them back together people also try to stretch it and say that this is Mike because he's watching TV and that the child who ran away is CeCe which is why after this William tries to scare him away from Freddy's and takes his window away what happened to the stairs my parents took him down cuz I am grounded but the timeline doesn't make sense at all forcing people to say that this is actually a robot boy version of C trying to make it all make sense what if the Funtime Freddy animatronic used an illusion disc to make himself look like fredbear lure the crying child out of his bedroom into the pizzeria then killed him what I believe that after crying child died at the hands of Funtime Freddy he successfully rebuilt him in the sister location bunker so when we see the crying child again he's more scared of fredbear's Family Diner than ever due to him remembering witnessing his own death what what the people also try to say that the name of this miname in the files being called later that night implies that it was the night that Charlie was killed which is dumb there ain't no way that this children's birthday party at Freddy's would be going on past like 8:00 p.m. and this is midnight where was William for 4 hours I don't understand why people think that the only night that this could be the later of was the day Charlie died I think someone just said that and it stuck in people people's imaginations there are plenty of significant nights in the Five Nights at Freddy's series and there is no link to Charlie's death other than the fact that it's raining and while that could be used to connect them I think it's raining because in movies bad things happens when it rains Charlie was killed in the rain this kid was kidnapped in the rain cuz rain is bad and the main reason that I throw all that out the window is because I think that the night that this is referring to the night that this is later to is later in the night from the miname this is midnight motorist this is later that night post midnight motorist people try to say that this can't be Williams Footprints because the spring lock suit would malfunction in the rain however it's not raining in Midnight motorist we don't know when this rain started and there's no reason to think it started before the kidnapping and the whole thing about the water impacting the spring lock suits was mostly about the very old costumes like the one that William was killed in there's obviously a much more high-tech spring lock suit at sister location and we have no idea whether or not those spring locks would be affected by water it also could be the cloth mascot costume like I said earlier guys it's just really not that deep this is one of Williams victims just like the other two mini games in Pizzeria simulator show his murders it's lore and backstory not some giant wrench thrown in the plot revealing that CeCe is a robot with that said I don't know what the mound in the woods is there's a slightly differently colored dirt patch around it that might indicate that they're starting construction on something vaguely house-shaped so they might be breaking ground or maybe it's Susie's dead dog I don't know I don't need to know exactly what it is to claim that it being the sister's unmarked grave in the woods a mile from their home is kind of a leap now in The Narrative of Pizzeria simulator we the store owner are buying these games and kids are playing them and we are testing them overnight but this reflection in the cabinet is depicting something that actually happened decades ago so either it's a haunted cabinet showing us memories of the past or the mini games themselves are disconnected from the present gameplay it's a haunted cabinet showing the memories of the past the vengeful spirit is playing through the games to learn what happened the glitches were caused by William even in Trudy maze his presence in the memory literally leads to the game sprites changing while these do depict real events what we're playing is the vengeful Spirit learning of these events through these video games created by Henry cuz it's video game theory these are also important because they confirm to some extent that shadow Freddy in FNAF 3 is controlled by William or is William in fruity maze William has two different text colors which might indicate the tone he was using to speak like one may have been in character and have been a wacky fun Bonnie voice he's not really dead whereas the other was actually how he sounded a British man luring people from sight he is over here this would mean that the follow me text in follow me is the same as this follow me text in fruity maze moving on there are two important endings to Pizzeria Simulator the lore ending and the Insanity ending the insanity ending is easier to get but also much more obtuse if you buy the Egg Baby then during the night this button on the computer turns on and if you click it you hear a recording from tape guy based on the contents of the tape it seems like he recorded this to himself before the start of the game in fact what's on these tapes reveal what led to the start of the game it's only now that I understand the depth of the depravity of this creature this monster that I unwillingly helped to create as if what he had already done wasn't enough he found a new way to desecrate to humiliate to destroy as if the suffering wasn't enough the loss of Innocence the loss of everything to so many people small Souls trapped in prisons of my making Now set to new purpose and used in ways I never thought imaginable he lured them all back back to a familiar Place back with familiar tricks he brought them all together are they still aware I hope not it keeps me awake at night I could make myself sleep but not yet not until I undo what he has done and heal this wound a wound first inflicted on me but then one that I let bleed out to cause all of this he set some kind of trap I don't know what it was but he led them there again he overpower powered them again and he robbed them of the only thing that they had again I don't know how those tiny breaths of Life came to inhabit those machines but they will never find rest now not like this I have to call them all back all of them together in one place that's right tape guy made the animatronics prisons of my making tape guy is Henry William is the monster that Henry helped create and as if murdering kids wasn't it William went ahead and desecrated them by doing his experiments he brought them all back to a familiar place with familiar tricks Henry could kill himself which is what he does in the novels but he's not going to while William is still out there congratulations you went somewhere you weren't supposed to go saw something you weren't supposed to see and prevented a tidy resolution to a messy problem needless to say you're fired but before you go take this certificate of insanity we're giving it to you to ensure that no one believes you and to ensure that we can promptly replace you without incident there is a truck waiting for you outside take [Music] care saying he lured them all back and then following that line with it keeps me awake at night really to me invok FNAF 4 in all the other games it's not William bringing the animatronics together FNAF 2 it's not him it's the company FNAF 1 is not him it's the company FNAF 3 it's not him he's trapped behind a wall this can't be referring to follow me because golden Freddy isn't there he says he lared them all back to a familiar place so it can't be that it really seems that the familiar place he lured them back to was his house where he originally built them the games have a habit of jumping between whether they're talking about the kids or the animatronics at random which is why the puppet is referred to as a he even though he's possessed by Charlie this actually becomes more of an important point in the final game we're going to talk about later so saying he lured them back them might not be the kids it might be the animatronics he brought them back to where he built them the next line he set some kind of trap I don't know what it was but he led them there again well that invokes FNAF 3 H how could Henry both know that he used familiar tricks to lure them back but also say it's some kind of trap that he doesn't understand how could Henry know it was familiar tricks if he doesn't understand what the Trap was I think it's likely that these two events are not Linked In this second instance he doesn't say all of them meaning it's fine that golden Freddy isn't there and the use of the word trap relates to springtrap I think this part of the speech is referring to follow me now he's talking about William taking their bodies apart then he says he has them all back together in one place I have to call them all back all of them together in one place that line will become important later we also get the 100% official confirmation that Charlie was Williams's first victim because that was is the wound first inflicted on me as Henry talks we see some blueprints appear on the screen these include Rask remote activated simulated C the C clearly standing for child it must stay connected to a central server and is the same temperature as a normal human body notice how it's made by Fazbear entertainment not by Apon robotics because Henry made this this will make sense when we watch the L keeper ending and and here's the Scoop blueprint that I cheated with and talked about during sister location the scooper is actually a Remnant injector explaining how Mike survived Lefty the name of the new black bear stands for lur encapsulate fuse transport extract the bear emits a bracelet code and then seals its suit around its prey and plays a lullabi well that's a puppet catcher if I've ever seen one yes I'm cheating a little because there's a screen that shows Lefty with the puppet clearly inside of him but the bear mimicking the bracelet that attracts the puppet and combing it with a lolaby is everything we need to know to know that this is a puppet snatcher it's weird that Henry is talking about how William lured the kids somewhere while displaying the blueprints he himself made for a device that lures the puppet he lured them all back back to a familiar Place back with familiar tricks even the lines about the familiar tricks like he's using the bracelet and the song Those are familiar tricks you would think that his words and what's on screen would relate to each other but there's really no way that they can I don't get it after the slideshow of blueprints the screen says playing audio file hry y223 hry Y is widely believed to mean Henry the 223 is a lot more ambiguous it might just mean that it's his 223rd audio log but the community has widely adopted the meaning of this indicating the year 2023 keep in mind people think that FNAF 1 takes place in 1993 which it does not and that FNAF 3 takes place 30 years later which it does not meaning that they think FNAF 3 takes place in 2023 this game taking place around Halloween going by this poster that we see could mean it's the Halloween of 2023 I think it's really silly for a file to be named 22 three to get across the information of 2023 when one more character would make it 2023 and one fewer character just the number 23 would also be understandable as 2023 that's the main reason that I don't think that's what this means at all I firmly believe that FNAF 3 takes place in 2015 which does not mean it's impossible for pizzeria simulator to be in 2023 but I don't take this as evidence I really really just think it's the 20 23rd recording and that people are reading way too far into it like if I labeled all my files this year gibi 223 I would be able to name exactly one file that because that's how file naming works you can't name them all just the year it is and who's talking I don't know what 223 means but it ain't that so that's the insanity ending but the real ending is the one that actually matters like I said earlier if you choose to salvage all the animatronics than they attack you at night making it harder to get your job done if you Salvage all four animatronics and also play the puppet fruity Maze and midnight motorist to find all the secrets then you get the real ending you fight for your life throughout the final night and then this happens and this is my second favorite moment in all of Five Nights at Freddy's I literally made this video up to this point to give context for what you're about to hear to us at the time this was the culmination of years of Storytelling years of games years of speculation and I hope I summarized the series enough to give you even a fraction of what I felt when I heard this for the first time when you complete the night you're congratulated and then the screen goes black you played right into our hands did you really think that this job just fell out of the sky for you no this was a gift for us you gathered them all together in one place just like he asked you to all of those little souls in one place just for us a gift now we can do what we were created to do and be complete I will make you proud daddy watch listen and be full connection terminated I'm sorry to interrupt you Elizabeth if you still even remember that name but I'm afraid you've been misinformed you are not here to receive a gift nor have you been called here by the individual you assume although you have indeed been called you have all been called here into a Labyrinth of sounds and smells misdirection and Misfortune a labyrinth with no exit a maze with no prize you don't even realize that you are trapped Your Lust for blood has driven you in Endless circles chasing the cries of children and some unseen chamber always seeming so near get somehow Out Of Reach but you will never find them none of you will this is where your story ends and to you my Brave volunteer who somehow found this job list not intended for you although there was a way out planned for you I have a feeling that's not what you want I have a feeling that you are right where you want to be I am remaining as well I am nearby this place will not be remembered and the memory of everything that started this can finally begin to fade away as the agony of every tragedy should and to you monsters trapped in the corridors be still and give up your spirits they don't belong to you for most of you I believe there is peace and perhaps more waiting for you after the Smoke Clears although for one of you the darkest pit of Hell has opened to swallow you whole so don't keep the devil waiting friend my daughter if you can hear me I knew you would return as well it's in your nature to protect the innocent I'm sorry that on that day the day you were shut out and left to die no one was there to lift you up into their arms the way you lifted others into yours and then what became of you I should have known you wouldn't be content to disappear not my daughter I couldn't save you then so let me save you now it's time to rest for you and for those you have carried in your Arms This Ends for all of us in communication this wasn't a real restaurant well it was but it was a trap Henry created this box to contain the remaining animatronics baby William the puppet and Molton Freddy you are his Brave volunteer although he didn't intend for you to be Michael but now that everyone is dying he rightly assumed that Mike would want to go down with them with his father and sister whose name is Elizabeth Henry apologizes to Charlie his daughter who did such a good job as the puppet but now deserves to rest heat makes the metal that Remnant latches on to malleable but too much heat will melt the metal entirely destroying the remnant meaning if they all burn and melt the remnant will be no more and the souls will be freed Henry who has been tortured since his daughter's death decades ago can finally die now under understanding everything and defeating William once and for all so yes Scott changed the contents of the FNAF 4 box to this the box is now a trap for every character it's the pieces put together it's everyone and so now the memory of all that has happened can start to fade the Box will be forgotten Forever This is the End if you die during normal gameplay play which obviously is not canon Michael does not actually die baby will say I heard your call you're not who I expected to see because she thought William had brought her here but instead she finds her brother you should have known I'd find you did I catch you off guard it feels like home baby in this game wants to make her Daddy proud because she's gained consciousness she's been put back together she is no longer baby she is Elizabeth and when scrap trap kills you he says I always come back well golly G Willie you sure do come back just like the trailer for FNAF 3 says you do you may not recognize me at first but I assure you that's still me what a deceptive calling I knew it was a lie the moment I heard it off the ly but it is intriguing nonetheless fascinating what they have become despite the fact that literally every character in the series just died including the ones that were already Dead the game is not over we get to watch this congratulations on completing your work week we apologize if your situation wasn't presented to you in a completely honest fashion when you first started get it because you the player were misled into thinking it was just a fake little game instead of the real one just like Mike was misled into thinking it was just a normal restaurant and not a place for him to trap his father but it was important that your intentions and actions be genuine here at Fazbear entertainment we value fun family and food but more importantly we value our commitment to atoning for past mistakes and tying up Loose Ends thank you for your participation there is no need for you to return to work next week as Fazbear entertainment is no longer a corporate entity please accept this certificate of completion goodbye for now and thank you for taking this journey with us so loose ends are tied up and Fazbear has been dissolved the story is literally over it cannot be any more over there is literally no way to move forward from this point remember how I said this is the first game in a new Trilogy well don't worry it'll all make sense in a couple minutes by completing the L keeper ending your greeted with this image five gravestones in the foreground labeled Gabriel Fritz Susie Jeremy and this one obscured by the grass its mystery will be solved in the next game that grave is of course the name of the child inside golden Freddy the vengeful Spirit up on the hill above them is one grave overlooking the five this is Charlie's grave I think this scene shows how this is finally the end for the spirits and I also think it debunks a couple of theories for one the people who think the toy animatronics are possessed by the KCI kids if there were any other children who had been possessing animatronics this whole time I don't think it would only be the five MCI kids we were shown at the end of the game people also think that the Funtime animatronics may have been kidnapping kids throughout all the years that they were active with Freddy and baby snatching kids left and right but if that was the the case then the screen wouldn't just be about the MCI kids I do think William killed more people but I think the only ones that led to proper possession were the MCI kids Charlie Cece and Elizabeth but yes despite the fact that Mike just burned to death this is saying that the story isn't over the vengeful Spirit golden Freddy wasn't even in this game so now it's time for their finale before we go to the next game we have to go over some Easter eggs firstly this guy his name is helpie I love him these are rare screens you can get that show the animatronics in the alleyway at night before you Salvage them Molton Freddy doesn't really show anything scrap trap shows some really long documents a poster for spookfest inviting you to join the spookiest party of the year and a building that says one night at the Opera this might imply it's October like I said earlier scrap baby has the same legal documents a wolf poster that says the legend of the terrible something wolf probably man wolf there's also a clown ring Master making an elephant dance and laughing the bottom text says don't want to miss it and the top text says he o I have no idea Lefty's screen shows the puppet screaming on a poster I think this is likely the puppet puppet actually manipulating the poster to show its mental state which happens in FNAF 1 you can see the puppet inside Lefty and there's also the really really annoying fun poster over his shoulder you have a guy in a purple suit puppeting a smaller version of himself with a bear wearing a birthday hat and a clown symbolically these are clearly The Afton family William is purple guy duh CeCe is the bear with a giant jaw whose birthday is is which is very cruel Elizabeth is the clown because baby is a clown and then the puppet is Mike for some reason maybe we're not supposed to get confused between the puppet and the marionette and maybe this is just calling him a dummy or saying William was talking through him like if William told Michael to put Cece and Elizabeth back together and then Michael told CeCe he would put him back together maybe that was him being puppeted by William his father and now we talk about candy Cadet this is candy Cadet I have candy all day every day candy candy candy he's the most annoying thing in this game if you use one of your 10 nightly tokens on him he might tell you a story I am a candy Cadet come get your candy here I have candy all day every day candy candy [Music] candy return to candy Cadet again and maybe I will tell you a story he has three stories that are all equally as confusing and obtuse before we address them I want to discuss the Molton MCI Theory Molton Freddy in this game is entered without baby taking the face and voice of Funtime Freddy since he's the amalgamation of the fun times and since we discussed how the fun times and mini renas and stupid bitty Babs were given Life by taking Remnant from the original animatronics between 1985 and '87 that makes Molton Freddy the amalgamation of the MCI kids this is mildly controversial because some people think it would require Soul splitting and duplication which I hope I explained was not required to make the fun times out of the MCI kids some people think it's actually impossible because the MCI kids moved on in FNAF 3 for reasons I'll discuss later I actually think the bad ending is the cannon ending of FNAF 3 with all of that said even though I do believe in Molton MCI meaning I think that Molton Freddy is the MCI kids and not new unheard of victims I don't think that candy Cadet stories are about Molton mcii which is what most people think candy Cadet tells three stories and all three stories involve five things and then some sort of event that would combine five things people think that these stories are just telling the player that Molton MCI is true that the five kids became one entity and I don't think that's true for one the stories don't match up with the events of the children being united as Molton Freddy and for another I think the game already told us this and this is not a big reveal it's in the books explicitly and Henry says that the souls are in Molton Freddy and they're probably the MCI kids given the gravestone ending I think these candy Cadet stories are about something else you have to ask the question who is candy Cadet speaking to none of the other instances in the series where one character is speaking and even even giv us lore and background and stuff in none of those instances is it non- diagetic it is always one character is telling another character information the phone guide tutorial is telling the security guard what they need to know so if candy Cadet is a product is a robot that somebody made that you can purchase that was made to tell somebody's stories then who were those stories meant for well it's clearly the player Mike someone is relaying these stories to Mike which means they've either been programmed in by Henry the Storyteller or the animatronic is haunted and I think it's that second one I think the vengeful spirit is telling Mike these stories and with that context these stories make a lot more sense so without further Ado let's get into the candy Cadet Stories the five orphans now I will tell you a story a story about a kind man who would visit five ofans and bring them toys and gladness the man lived alone and lived in fear that someone might break into the house of one of the five children so he adopted all five and brought them together in one place in his own home he promised them to never leave them and they promised to always come home and never stay out too late he left one day to buy food his heart being filled with gladness but returned to find that the burglar had chosen his home and killed all five of the children the man could only afford one coffin so he stitched the five bodies together to make one and buried the child that night there was a knock at the door this kind man is Henry because of the repeated line brought them together in one place which Henry says during the insanity ending I have to call them all back all of them together in one place he adopted all five and brought them together in one place Henry is a kind man who makes toys video games and animatronics which is why he brings toys and gladness I think the meaning of candy Cadet stories isn't to dish out lore metaphorically to the player it's to give information to Mike that the vengeful Spirit has learned from all of these mini games vengeful spirit is telling Mike that Henry is a good guy and that five children were killed and they've now been combined together as molten Freddy and have returned it's telling him what pizzeria simulator is about the guy pulling the strings is the good guy they were killed by the bad guy and now they've returned the five Keys now I will tell you a story about a young woman who was sealed in a small room in the room was a furnace and five keys she was told that each of the five Keys would unlock one of Five Doors outside her room inside each room was a child that she could take with her as she fled the building but she was only allowed to leave her own room with one key not all five desperate to find a way to save all five children the woman melted the five Keys together in the furnace to create a single key hoping it would unlock all five doors of course it did not work that way now her key opened none of the doors rather than leave her room with a key to one life she had taken with her the key to five deaths this is the vengeful Spirit telling Mike what she learned in give gifts give life as the puppet Charlie was sealed in a small room the gift box that she's forced to live in she had the ability to save the children in the MCI potentially by taking one and literally taking them away from Freddy's bringing them physically away from William but of course that wouldn't stop William he would just kill someone else so she chose to remain to be there for more kids which of course led to the five deaths and her response was to give them Life by having them haunt the animatronics she was trying to do the right thing and ended up helping no one and I think that that's what makes her a compelling character she had a plan and she had good intentions it just didn't work out I always liked the puppet it's always thinking the five kittens now I will tell you a story about a little boy he had a read a snake that he kept in a metal cage whose hunger could not be satisfied one day the boy found five baby kittens outside his house he brought them inside and kept them in a shoe box he knew that the snake might kill them but could not bring himself to get rid of the snake he knew that if he chose One kitten to feed to the snake it might be satisfied but he could not choose so he went to bed leaving the cage open the snake went to The Shoe Box chose a kitten at random and at it after five nights had gone by the boy was full of regrets and cut snake open he pieced The Remains together and put the kitten back into the shoe box five baby kittens you say why would it say baby kittens when kitten already means baby cat if not specifically to use the word baby H the boy in this story pieces the the baby kitten back together kind of like how Mike puts his sister back together his sister who's in baby that would make the kitten Elizabeth and the snake who is red and lives in a metal cage and is always looking for things to snatch and chooses one at random it's baby even the five nights mentioned reflect on Mike who spent five nights at Circus babies it's actually the only place he spends five nights FNAF 2 he spends one night FNAF one he spend seven nights FNAF 3 he spend six FNAF four his gameplay section might not even be real it's a nightmare meaning the five nights refers to Sister location him being a little boy also follows the pattern of Charlie being the only female in any of the stories and Henry being a full-grown man if there's a boy in the FNAF games it's either CeCe or Mike and I think it's Mike this story is hammering home that Elizabeth had has been metaphorically removed from baby and put back together that's why in Sister location she was willing to kill who she thought was William and didn't care about anything except for her freedom but in this game she wants to make you proud daddy because this is baby and this is Elizabeth but just like you can't put the kitten back together putting Elizabeth back together didn't bring her back to life because unfortunately for William that's not how it works you can put them back together all you want but you still let the snake eat them they're still dead so now Mike knows what the vengeful Spirit knows about Henry Charlie and Elizabeth and that is what candy Cadet is for all right some loose wrap-up now the Rockstar animatronics are not heavily featured but it's hinted that they might be built out of the same material as the original animatronics why does Rockstar Freddy have purple accessories I don't know there's a discussion about the Rockstar animatronics being important or not and some people say that because they're not required to purchase to beat the game that you can't use their presence as Canon evidence but that's very wrong children's drawings of the Rockstar animatronics exist in the office meaning that regardless of your choices during the playthrough the cannon of the series is clearly that these animatronics are present in the building it should also be noted that it's possible that the box is not the FNAF 6 restaurant that's just what most people assume but if you go by my theory that the original intention for the box was to show that CCE and Foxy bro are brothers and that foxy bro is Mike Schmidt the reason that the box changed might simply be that now the Schmidts are the aftons it went from foxy Bros Mike Schmidt to Foxy bro is Mike Aton who changed his name to Mike Schmidt at some point it's also Al possible that during FNAF 4 there is no intention that purple guy would be foxy bro and cce's father thus leading to a change in the Box as the story developed over the years this is Funtime chica there was no Funtime chica in Sister location because she was at chica's Party World which has led to a fan theory that I personally think is very important and that we will discuss now these are the mediocre Melodies they are viewed as lesser than the Freddy's animatronics obviously they are mediocre and as Matt Pat points out in his video on them they seem more Southern themed than the Freddy's Bunch Pig patch and Ned bear specifically have Southern Accents very long story short it seems likely that the mediocre Melodies and Chica were once a restaurant chain and Freddy and Bonnie were once a restaurant chain and that those two restaurants merged together in real life show biz's pizza place and pizza time theater merged together to become show biz Pizza time which is actually a fantastic name the other name for ShowBiz Pizza time is of course chuck-e cheeses that's why these other kids in happiest day probably are wearing a mediocre Melody masks even if they don't line up perfectly and in FNAF 3 when Fon guy says you'll be expected to wear the temporary costumes provided to you keep in mind that they were found on very short notice though questions about appropriateness FL relevant should be deflected he's probably talking about costumes from the mediocre Melodies which Fazbear entertainment would have recently acquired after the MCI when Freddy's is shut down William retained the full rights to use Bonnie Freddy and Foxy his Creations for Freddy's but Chica and the other mediocres were spun off from the Freddy's brand at least until the gang all got United together again for the FNAF 2 location William did make Funtime cheek but it seems like this was a formality or a contract for him to develop even though he wasn't in charge of her restaurant chica being separate from the other characters will matter more later and that is Pizzeria Simulator the surprise ending to Five Nights at Freddy's Scott promised a custom night update would be on its way just as he had done for sister location but he ended up changing his mind and instead made ultimate custom night as its own title as a small little bonus cap to FNAF except we still have one game between Pizzeria simulator and ultimate custom night it's time to get back to the Five Nights at Freddy's security log book yes this is a game yes this [Music] counts the FNAF security log book is an activity book and that makes it a game this is an in Universe book meaning everything in it except except for the copyright page is Canon the book launched on March 1st 2018 the front cover states it is the security log book but that's been crossed out so instead it says the survival log book The Branding and images used throughout the book are of the FNAF 1 designs which makes a lot of sense because this book takes place right before FNAF 3 each chapter in the book begins with an image of the FNAF 3 office why is there dark humor associated with dying on your shift in this book why are there word searches and puzzles because this is a kids book given out at Fazbear frights it's meant to play up the horror of the Freddy's Legacy the first page asks us to write our name but somebody already wrote their name in the book someone named Mike this gives further evidence that the FNAF 3 guard is Mike so yes this is able to continue the story despite Mike being dead because it's an in between Quil it's in between FNAF 1 and 3 in FNAF 3 phone guy says hey hey glad you came back for another night he says this on night one meaning Mike had been working there for at least one day before the game started so this book takes place the week before FNAF 3 Fazbear frights exists but springtrap hasn't been found yet Mike is just sitting in the office doing nothing got it the book is full of blood splatters and stains which I think are in universe jokes about the Fazbear frights horror attraction but there's a lot of messages and text written in red pen this red pen writing and drawing is Mike he writes his name in red pen in the front and so all red pen markings are from him scattered throughout the books are tally marks unless it's hidden on some obscure Reddit thread and trust me I read plenty of obscure Reddit threads while writing this but nobody knows what these tally marks are for it's thought there is some code left to be deciphered in the book and that the tally marks are the clue but whatever it is it has not been worked out yet at least no theories put forward are to my satisfaction besides the tally marks Mike will also fill out the book by writing in little comments when the book asks for them like on page six the book asks lists 10 reasons why applying to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza seems like a good idea at the time and Mike writes employees get free pizza Mike is also Al something of a cartoonist because he draws throughout the book like on page 29 he draws what prizes he would want to win at Freddy's as a child and he draws himself as a child water skiing holding a bag of money now you might notice that this is on page 28 and this is page 52 we'll get back to that in case you don't believe that Mike is Michael Afton on page 30 when asked about what TV character he relates to with his current experiences he said says claraa from The Immortal and the Restless because everything about this place is crazy and no one seems to notice except me and on page 34 he draws casual Bongos he also draws exotic butters on page 92 on the next page we're asked to reflect on our happiest day with an image of the puppet giving a cake to a young girl if you flip the page there's some Faz coupons one of which is labeled happiest day reserved party room three tier birthday cake receive a gift from the puppet custom party kit with invitations and hats assuming this book takes place right before FNAF 3 this is perhaps the best evidence we have that Mike was aware of some parts of happiest day occurring due to his actions the next insane lore drop comes on page 40 and 41 studies show that you forget half of your dreams in the first five minutes after waking use this page and the next page to sketch and write notes about your recent dreams reflect on the meaning of your dreams and Mike draws nightmare the final boss in FNAF 4 meaning that slightly before FNAF 3 recently he had been dreaming about this animatronic Mike Plays through the nights in FNAF 4 and these segments while likely based on his actual childhood were a dream he dreamed right before FNAF 3 previously this was all wild speculation based only on the FNAF 1 phone guy call but now it is confirmed Mike is the FNAF 4 player and it's a dream speaking of FNAF 3 on page 79 there's more of these Faz coupons one of them is a $16 coupon for pizza and Mike writes for real value see page 61 and guys I'm so excited this is where I'm going to be so validated this this is the best part of the video page 61 features these comics where you're supposed to draw stuff for Freddy and Foxy to do on the chalkboard are the numbers 5 + 4 and then a three in the corner I think any reasonable person would interpret this as 5 + 4 * 3 which would be 27 so when these coupons were made in 1992 they were worth $16 as of today Mike writing this book that's $27 and if you plug in those numbers into the official inflation calculator and check the value of $16 in 1992 it would be worth $27 in 2015 because FNAF 3 takes place in 2015 this book was written in 2017 so anyone who thinks FNAF 3 takes place in 2023 will have to explain how Scott the author thinks he knows the math to do to calculate inflation in the future well I think it was easy enough to deduce that FNAF 3 was in 2015 when the game first first launched this is Scott confirming that date page 99 has the most important and really only story relevant thing in this book as fun as the metag game of hunting for Clues is in this series sometimes we just have to remember that this is a video game series telling a story about people and I think page 99 speaks of volumes to the ongoing story of Michael Afton when a PR disaster strikes it's always good to have a plan think of ult internate explanations to these common misunderstandings my child said Freddy bit him he tripped and fell in Freddy's teeth not our fault everything in this book and most things in this series operate with subtext and double meanings when phone guy says that the company cares about you in your safety the implication is that the company doesn't care about you or your safety so while this makes sense as something an employee would say to a parent to diverge any liability from an injury which is what the prompt is telling you to do the subtext is tragic you can almost see the scene from FNAF 4 playing out as Mike writes this he tripped and fell in Freddy's teeth not our fault it's denial and maybe I'm reading too far into these red letters but I think the denial clearly isn't working it's like Mike has to repeat not our fault over and over to himself it's like he's been doing it for decades and that is every important note that Mike has written in the book but Mike isn't the only person writing in here there's another presence in this book there's somebody writing in very light faded red ink what do you remember was your favorite childhood toy a plastic purple telephone there's a faded Arrow that reads my name pointed at the number which is incorrectly labeled as 52 the words my name also appear on pages 47 and 79 page 31 is incorrectly labeled as 39 and it asks the reader to imagine their life in 5 years Mike draws a gravestone The Faded text writes My Name by using Clues hidden throughout the book we can determine the name of the entity writing these messages but before we can do do that we have to look at what else they're writing do you remember your name this is on the page where the puppet gives the girl the cake the book asks about recent dreams and Mike draws nightmare fredbear from FNAF 4 The Faded text asks do you have dreams Pages 42 and 43 it says do any of these toys look familiar to you did one of these Belong To You alongside the text are images of VAR toys was your favorite ride the carousel what do you see the book asks who would miss you if you were killed by being stuffed into a suit The Faded text asks do you miss them does he still talk to you on the same page as a picture of angry fredbear the plush carried around by CeCe is this song familiar to you the party was for you the line does he still talk to you with a picture of the fredbear plush strongly indicates that this faded entity is talking to Cece the line the party was for you also backs this up but you may have noticed that some of the page numbers are wrong throughout the book and those page numbers aren't the only text that seems to be altered on page 47 the book asks you to rate your shift according to qualities like fulfillment Health stress purpose hope existential dread and overall the numbers in Hope are wrong going 1 2 37267 8910 7 and two are out of place page 43 is labeled 15 on page 85 the numbers 10 and 11 are in red for some reason on page 89 it shows the same questionnaire as on page 47 but Health has been changed to I can hear sounds and existential dread says it was for me this pattern repeats on page 109 the text changes to I can't see and I'm scared these changes of text seem to fall into two categories changes in number and hidden messages the wrong page numbers are 52 39 15 and the jumbled numbers are 72 and the red numbers are 1011 but those aren't the only strange numbers in the book that chalkboard from earlier 5 + 4 3 well that looks a lot like 93 would be an important code on page 108 Mike is asked to report any unusual events on an otherwise blank log he writes the time 811 this gives us 52 391 5 72 993 1011 and 811 I neglected to mention one instance of change text and that's on page 58 there's a word search and most of the letters form a repeating pattern they spell out it's me the calling card of golden Freddy the phrase is who are you and what is your name also appear as do normal words like Foxy and play the only page in the book that has seemingly no relevance to Fazbear entertainment is the next page which has a giant Mirror On It The Faded text beneath asks what do you see some genius put all of this information together and solved the mystery of this book Reddit user D powerful one on the game theorist subreddit figured out that if you use these numbers as coordinates on the word search then you get some interesting l letters five across and two down that's a c then an a s s i d y Cassidy my name the name of the person writing in The Faded red text is Cassidy and she writes my name over a gravestone thus filling in the final grave from Pizzeria simulator giving us the name of golden Freddy the name of of the entity we've been calling the vengeful spirit because remember golden Freddy can change the image and text on posters our secondary protagonist for the series is Cassidy but that's not everything in this book Cassidy asks many questions throughout like does he still talk to you do you miss them what do you remember do you remember your name the party was for you and the changes in the text in the book add to this list of phrases with sentences like who are you what is your name it's me I can hear sounds I can't see it was for me I'm scared the immediate thing that jumps out is The Faded text asks what do you see and the changed text has a statement that says I can't see this led to the theory that these are two separate entities communica through the book with Cassidy asking a question and someone answering what do you remember do you remember your name it's me what do you see I can't see the party was for you it was for me is this song familiar to you I can hear sounds does he still talk to you I'm scared who are you what is your name my name Cassidy this conclusion leaves a few loose ends for one we still don't know what the tally marks are for and it also leaves a lot of Cassidy's questions unanswered and I would say this is too much of a big loose end to just ignore but I think there's an alternate explanation these questions were actually being asked of Mike was your favorite childhood toy a plastic purple telephone do any of these toys look familiar to you Mike had the purple telephone and one of these toys is a guard and while CeCe might miss his plush friends it actually makes more sense to me if she's asking Mike if he misses his brother and sister do you miss them due to the fact that Cassidy uses Mike's writing here of 81 to give the final clue to her name I think this implies that she is in some form form of communication with Mike and if this book happens directly before FNAF 3 then this could be what Mike actually did to trigger happiest day he wasn't touching wall tiles he was reading and filling in this book causing ripples in the flip side this is also why I said before that the yellow eyes in FNAF world are likely talking to Cece everything that happens out there has an effect here do you understand besides the the fact that they're obviously talking to him because of the repetitions of the lions from FNAF 4 the other reason I think is because their glowing eyes in the darkness because CeCe can't see because everything faded as he died in FNAF 4 so all he can see are these bright yellow eyes speaking to him so was the security log book important yes it taught us the vengeful spirit's name is Cassidy it confirms that Michael Aton foxy bro and Mike Schmidt are the same character and that FNAF 3 takes place after sister location in 2015 and not in any other year and that CCE is in communication with Cassidy that just leaves us with one game left while Pizzeria simulator was the ending of Mike's story this next game is the ending of Cassidy kind of FNAF ultimate custom night launched on June 27th 2018 often abbreviated to ucn its cover depicts nightmare own from the non-canon FNAF 4 Halloween update ultimate custom KN is exactly what it sounds like a game mode where you can face off against up to 50 different enemies at once each with an adjustable scale of 1 to 20 in difficulty the hardest challenge being the 5020 mode which is every animatronic on Max back on April 1st of that year Scott had made a trolling post introducing three of the characters mechanics in the game phone guy he will call into your office at random creating a lot of noise and momentarily increasing the aggressiveness of the animatronics he cannot call however if springtrap is in the vents because he can't be in two places at the same time this is obviously making fun of Matt Pat's theory that phone guy is purple guy foxy he will run into your office when things are looking dire and offer to help you you can choose one of three ways for him to assist he can block one door clear the vents or add 1% more power to your meter this is based on the old fan theory that foxy INF ff1 isn't trying to kill you he runs to you CU he wants to check up on you if you don't look at the cameras often enough and he doesn't jump scare you to kill you he just casually leans in the room and then then you have a heart attack and die from Fright we talked about this earlier it's obviously it's it's silly it's it's dumb and finally nightmare Freddy he appears suddenly in your office holding an alarm clock you have only a moment to press the button to activate the alarm if you press the button in time you will awaken in your bed for 10 seconds before falling asleep and continuing the night this of course is making fun of dream theory specifically Matt Pat's piece of evidence that the alarm clock in FNAF 4 is the key to proving it no hospital has a grandfather clock but they're all equipped with a generic digital alarm clock this to me was The Missing Link the piece of evidence that took this Theory from convenient explanation for a lot of the game's weirdness to definitive proof that this is what Scott intended [Music] but Scott here confirms that dream theory was never Canon Scott who likes to release games early said he wanted to release the game on June 22nd but promised someone he wouldn't release it until the 27th this is because he had challenged Doo to beat the 5020 mode and dco would be out of town until the 27th and be unable to play to me this makes it seem like the fact that the final silverized book the fourth closet being released the day before four on June 26th was just a coincidence and was not meant on purpose to coincide with ucn Scott said as far back as FNAF one that he thought 420 mode in that game was impossible but this game actually seemed impossible this is not a difficult challenge to complete it is literally impossible so much so that Scott challenged Doo to beat it offering him an interview if he could do it here's some video of Markiplier trying and failing to play it warning there is going to be a jump scare let me walk you guys through what I'm doing cuz it's I know it's too fast to really get any uh uh sense out of so what I'm doing is the first step is turn off fan open Monitor and hit power generator at the same time go to duct place it here because if there's only one path some will get stuck there as long as you regularly turn on the heater uh you'll get there vent block the first one just in case it usually doesn't even go here but I put it there just just in case here look at monitor scan around for coins every time you pop down you want to turn on the AC now the most important thing is every time you bring up your monitor oh close the side vent I found that the animatronics in the side vent only come through when you put your monitor down or put your monitor up and if you do it every time you put your monitor up then they never going to be a problem so it contains them really well and it helps you get Faz coins anyway I always forget show times are on the hour not a moment before and not a moment later that's expected Doo ended up beating the challenge Air 2 weeks later on July 9th and I guarantee that the beat of his heart was jumping through his shirt when he beat it D actually started crying when he finally won and while he wasn't the first to beat it he deserves insane props for doing this for the sake of the community a YouTuber named REM actually beat it the day before the video you're watching now is Doo's Victorious attempt [ __ ] my God oh my God you st k [Applause] me Doo ended up interviewing Scott for an hour and a half and there weren't really any important lore implications I invite anyone who's interested to watch the entire thing but really the only important things of note are Scott confirming and reiterating that FNAF world is Canon and him implying that he had games up to Sister location planned from around the time of FNAF 2 not the plot obviously but he mentions the color scheme and general Aesthetics as something he planned up to the series fifth entry even at that time as I was working on part two I knew that three should be a very personal experience it should be the opposite of what two was you know part three should be kind of oneon-one and I knew that part four should be um kind of kind of uh unique as far as setting and things like that and I knew that part five should be kind of Hightech and I even kind of already had color schemes picked out like I knew that part five should kind of be purples and blues yeah um I knew that three should be kind of green and I knew that two should be kind of the two should be feel kind of industrial which I think that it does as a custom night the game does not have a story but that doesn't mean it doesn't have lore obviously the presence of baby and a scrap baby and multiple of the same character at the same time show that this is not something that's actually happening but just because it isn't actually happening doesn't mean it's not real every time you die the character who killed you will say a voice line some of these lines are mechanics and hints for how to beat them show times are on the hour not a moment before and not a moment later that's supposed to explain that you beat the character by checking on him every hour on the hour other lines are just funny or characterization I always come back I bet you weren't expecting me were you turn your back for one second and I'm like wo ninja skills you won't get tired of my voice will you but many of them exist to tell you a story let's go over them what a gift to Bish a victim that can't perish I am here to claim what is left you you will not be spared you will not be saved the nightmare is just beginning let's Teddy spth again and again you won't die but you'll wish you could come spend eternity inside with me what is this new prison is it me dropped or is it you [Music] perhaps these all seem to indicate that you're dead that this is your Eternal punishment this is a real Canon game that is actually happening where somebody is being punished by these animatronics but who seeing you powerless is like music to me I recognize you but I'm not afraid of you not anymore I have always been hiding in your Shadow I am given flesh to be your Tormentor we know who our friends are and you are not one of them I am your wickedness made the flesh I am a burning reminder of your Ms this time death cannot save you I am the fearful reflection of what you have created it's William death can't save him this time fredbear who is speaking almost as CCE is saying you're not one of our friends the bad animatronics are given Life by his misdeeds it's William and once you piece that all together the game becomes really epic and you can also start piecing together what some of the other voice lines mean let's go over some new lore implications where's my beak l in your forehead of course this is obviously a meta reference to Scott saying toy chica was missing her beak so he's still drawing our attention not back to any specific game like the you won't get tired of my voice line draws you back to FNAF world but this is instead him saying something about the game's lore he's bringing us back to something he himself posted which I think means it still might be important the others are like animals but I am very aware the community is not in agreement what being put back together means as I've said for this whole video I think it means having your memories reassembled after death giving you control over your animatron Ric it's why I think the puppet golden Freddy and baby are aware baby goes from speaking as baby in Sister location to speaking as Elizabeth in Pizzeria simulator because she was put back together as Mike says at the end of sister location this means and I think this is important that every line a character speaks is coming from the perspective of the character not the spirit inhabiting them the puppet William scrap baby and fredbear are the only spirits who talk as themselves keep that in mind for the next section I was the first I have seen everything the community almost universally agrees that this means that suie the girl with the dog who possessed chica was the first MCI victim except we know that Charlie died before any of the MCI kids and CeCe died before the MCI kids so Susie was not the first and has not seen everything but people still assume that that is what this means that's not what this means this is chica speaking not suie we went over this a while ago but it's likely that chica predated Freddy Fazbear's Pizza by a long while by being part of this second company that went on to merge with Freddy's which is what happened with the real Chuck-E-Cheese I think this is saying that chica was the first first animatronic character that was built among this cast chica from chica's Party World predates fredbear's Family Diner and fredbear and spring Bonnie as characters telling us that suie died first is meaningless telling us that chica is older than Freddy points Us in the direction of this being inspired by the real life ShowBiz Pizza time story and I think that that's what Scott intended the entire time I am GI flesh to be your Tormentor this implies that nightmare Freddy did not have flesh in FNAF 4 either because he was a manifestation of fear in Mike's dream or this time there is more than an illusion to fear this strongly hints that the FNAF 4 animatronics were in fact using illusion discs which is the theory that I've been going with these events were real to an extent and then later in life Mike had nightmares about it adding in details like the IV bag the FNAF one phone calls and allowing him to draw nightmare in the log book because he had dreamt about it recently but this line confirms that William actually had animatronics with illusion discs walking around his house when Mike was a child I assure you I am very real once again this is implying that previously he wasn't real but that this version attacking William now in the afterlife is actually a possessed animatronic in this case it's literally his son CeCe let me put you back together and take you apart all over again fredbear is obviously the same suit as golden Freddy they are both the yellow spring lock interpretation of Freddy although golden Freddy has black accessories and fredbear has purple but fredbear golden Freddy is obviously CeCe so this is CeCe referencing being told he would be put back together which really really reinforces that William is the one who said this line in FNAF 4 William said it to Cece here I will put you back together CCE said it to William here let me put you back together then take you apart all over again we know who our friends are and you are not one of them once again reinforcing that this is CCE speaking and that the person who said we are still your friends do you believe that was William but then there's this wrench in everything I always come back why would William be fighting off himself and hear himself say I always come back obviously for game purposes you got to have a springtrap in your ultimate custom night everyone is here game and it does kind of make sense that William would have to face off against springtrap because he tormented other people with springtrap in the past but I don't know why this is his voice line it could have been something like now you know what it feels like this is just mildly confusing and it adds in room for contrarians to claim that instead of William being tortured here it's Michael being tortured which I just strongly disagree with now you may remember that I said that this is cities game this is her finale and it is multiple animatronics reference a being known as the one that you should not have killed let's take a listen he's here and always watching the one you shouldn't have killed I have seen him one you shouldn't have killed I am remade but not by you by the one you should not have killed greetings from the fire and from the one you should not have killed if there's one you shouldn't have killed it's either Charlie or Cassidy we know it's not Charlie because the puppet explicitly says She's Not Afraid of William anymore meaning Cassidy is the one you shouldn't have killed but they refer to Cassidy as male he's here and always watching I have seen him this has one of three explanations one the one you shouldn't have killed is not Cassidy that's the least likely in my opinion two Cassidy is a boy cidy is a gender neutral name and therefore it could just be a boy I do think that this is unlikely though because spoiler alert this is not actually Cassidy's last appearance in a FNAF game and in a future game she will be depicted as a girl and three the one I believe is that because Freddy is male and Cassidy is golden Freddy they're referring to Golden Freddy as the one William shouldn't have killed the same way that they call the puppet he even though he's possessed by Charlie they might now be referring to Golden Freddy as he even though he's possessed by Cassidy I think that the male pronoun usage here is an unfortunate choice because it confuses people but I really just think it means they're talking about Golden Freddy the one you should not have killed is is very cool but there's another entity in the game that people call the vengeful Spirit when Scott did a casting call for voice actors he labeled one character as a vengeful spirit this face appears in the game as an Easter egg and the vengeful Spirit actually has lines some people think that the vengeful spirit is Cassidy and that the one you shouldn't have killed is somebody else but I think that they're both Cassidy three characters have voice lines that get surprisingly serious and underneath them you can hear a female voice whispering and yes I know that the casting call said the voice should be of ambiguous gender but women are perfectly capable of voicing young boys and having them sound like boys like Bart Simpson or Gregory from this very series and it definitely sounds like the whispering voice is clearly intending to be female here are some lines from the vengeful Spirit We've Only Just Begun I will never let you leave I will never let you rest'll never let you rest this is how it feels and you get to experience it over and over and over again forever I will never let you leave I will never let you leave he tried to release you he tried to release us but I'm not going to let that happen I will hold you here I will keep you here no matter how many times they burn us so the vengeful Spirit the one you should not have killed Cassidy is creating this torment for William in the afterlife refusing to let his Spirit fully pass on and she's trapping the others there too this is literally the puppet this is Charlie and this is Bonnie why is this is or is you perhaps is all the kids are trapped here tormenting William because Cassidy is concocting this scheme and I think the puppet is trying to stop her I don't hate you but you need to stay out of my way Charlie doesn't care about getting revenge for William he's dead but she does want to free the spirits she's actually after Cassidy Lefty the robot that captured the puppet in Pizzeria simulator also has some interesting lines it will be over soon there is room for one more I think the room for one more and all be over soon lines are actually about Cassidy not William remember Lefty lured the puppet to trap it and I think it would also want to lure and trap Cassidy there's room for one more the other one being Charlie and it will all be over soon means William's torment will be over soon because Charlie is going to stop Cassidy there's two more references to this in the game that I think back up this interpretation for one when you beat the final challenge which again is not 5020 mode again Scott thought that was impossible but when you beat the hardest official challenge you get to see this cut scene golden Freddy is twitching fading slowly into the background if we interpret this as us the viewer walking backwards away from Golden Freddy that means that she is staying put to continue to torture William forever we're saying enough I'm done I'm leaving it's like movie shorthand or it's like if a book ends with a dot dot dot it's saying things will continue this way forever or if it's supposed to be interpreted as Cassidy moving away from us the viewer and her fading away then it's her losing control over William I think it's open-ended but I personally think it's the second one because this happens once you beat the game will has beaten her hardest challenge so she's abandoning this attempt and moving on to the next one in the next game the other piece of evidence that this is Cassidy torturing William and that Charlie is trying to stop her is old man consequences old man consequences from FNAF world is one of the enemies that you can set up in this game he pops up on your screen and you have to catch a fish to make him go away but if you set him to be the only enemy and you play his little game you glitch into the clearing from FNAF world you're back to playing as tiny little Freddy boy and he's sitting at the lake just like he was in FNAF world come and sit with me for a while leave the demon to his demons rest your own soul there is nothing else if old man consequences is Henry and Freddy boy is Cassidy then this is Henry overtly telling her to stop to stop stop torturing William the demon leave the demon to his demons rest your own soul once you've entered this screen there's only one way out and that's to glitch into the lake just like in FNAF world but instead of reaching a secret ending of people happily watching TV the game crashes which of course is golden Freddy's thing because this is Cassidy who is golden Freddy earlier I said that Henry's spee at the end of pizeria simulator was my second favorite moment in FNAF this is my first this is my favorite moment in the series old man consequences telling Cassidy that Revenge isn't the answer and one more time one last time having to plead for the release of all of the innocent Souls including his daughter who are once again being taken away from him not by William not by the villain but by Cassidy it's really powerful but the thing that makes it the best moment in the series for me is the noise that you hear in the [Music] background this seemingly ambient noise is actually a human voice it's very distorted but if you slow it down and change the pitch then you can hear what it's saying take a listen [Music] [Music] [Applause] obviously this is a video game this is this is FNAF this is funny jump scare Bear game we're talking about purple guy from FNAF it's a voice actor who recorded l in a booth for a video game it's audio that's been put through a bunch of distortions to sound creepy as Ambiance in a challenge mode in a bonusfree video game but there's something so raw and intimately and intensely and eternally and inherently and terrifying this is a child killer who defiled corpses all for his own personal benefit to elongate his own life and to serve himself he attempted to cheat death and succeeded for a long time but now it has finally caught up to him the end of his life he was still so arrogant one of the death lines he said in peteria simulator was this what a deceptive calling I knew it was a lie the moment I heard it obviously but it isn't intriging nonetheless and now he is in so much Agony that his arrogance is gone his pride is gone and he's just screaming for help and the people he's asking for help from are Henry and Mike the two people he blamed for Cece's death he's yelling out in fear for his son who he basically tortured and for his old best friend whose daughter he killed these people should hate him eternally and have no sympathy for him and yet in this moment he's asking for that sympathy in the last game Henry said although for one of you the darkest pit of Hell has opened to swallow you whole so don't keep the devil waiting old friend and now we are witnessing that moment but it's not the Triumph of Henry's speech at the climax of the series it is pitiful William is pathetic and his torment is eternal and even though William is the worst person in this story again a child killer you still take pity on him just like in real life how you take pity on those who hurt others because they will never know what it's like to love or what it's like to feel the release of forgiveness they're casting their own soul aside for nothing but worldly gain they will never reach whatever version of Heaven you believe in whether that's Act actual literal Pearly Gates or a state of Enlightenment in Nirvana or just the inner piece of knowing that you've made the world a better place in your lifetime even as it's depicted in an 8bit Easter egg in a video game hell is real [Music] [Music] and with that now we're going to talk about toy chica's high school years yes this is real and it is also scary after playing each challenge in the game you unlock a new cutscene these cutcenes belong to one of two narratives depicted throughout the game both of them are satirical or absurdist I don't know just watch this dear diary yesterday was so amazing and I met such a wonderful guy but I don't think it was meant to last for my heart belongs to another he's so amazing and strong and so so cute I've been thinking about him all day and I think he's really into me too he's the only one for me I just know it and I know just how to get him look at that top hat that amazing Top Hat He'll Be Mine by the end of the day I just know it I told him that I needed help with my homework but once he's there I'll have him and once I have him he'll be mine forever there is only one thing that could possibly go wrong so this is a metaphor an analogy an allegory uh Toy jica is William there are several of the short little episodes and they all go the same way chica sees a character points out something she likes about them States in a statistic way that she's going to get them and then says there is only one thing that could possi go wrong each time the next episode starts and we see the next victim she's holding a treasure from the previous victim in her bag Foxy's hook Freddy's hat Etc two things to note right off the bat the animatronics in the story are not representations of the actual MCI kids it's not like the Freddy kid who she asks for help with her homework correlates to the child who is stuffed into Freddy the presence of the puppet and pig patch and this completely random wolf completely disproved that the other thing to note is that when the day starts she already has Foxy's hook in her bag in fact the first thing she says is that yesterday she met an amazing guy but it didn't last yesterday was so amazing and I met such a wonderful guy but I don't think it was meant to last meaning before this whole thing started she had already killed one person I spent so long trying to figure out how foxy could have been the first victim like even before Charlie because Foxy's head is missing in FNAF 4 of the plushes and because Foxy's claw Hook is already in the bag this is one of the most annoying parts of everything but I think I figured it out and I think it's a coincidence I think Foxy's head is missing in FNAF 4 because foxy bro Mike was using foxy to scare CCE and so he either tore off his head because he didn't want to look at it anymore or Mike tore off the head which upset CCE which is why he then went on to use Foxy's vassage to scare him and I think that um Foxy's Hook is here because they just chose an animatronic to already be dead to be Charlie and I don't think it has anything to do with Foxy look at that Untamed fur that amazing silky Sheen He'll Be Mine by the end of the day I just know it I told him that someone ran over his dog in front of my house but once he's there I'll I'll entice him with warm cookies lure him inside I mean invite him inside and then I'll have him he'll be mine by the end of the day I just know it I told him that my house was on fire but once he's there I'll tell him that I threw myself on the Flames to put them out He'll Be Mine by the end of the day I just know it I told him that I've taken several live hostages at my house but once he's there I'll tell him that I let them go because I love him he'll be mine by the end of the day I just know it I told him to come over later that should be enough and if he doesn't show up I'll just go to his house and if he doesn't open the door I'll just find a window Jimmy's always an option or I could set the house on fire and wait for him to run out then he could run into my arms He'll Be Mine by the end of the day I just know it I'll just wait for him after school throw a bag over his head hit him with a shovel and drag him into the back of my car then when he wakes up I'll tell him that someone was trying to kidnap and kill him I don't know balloon boy maybe and then I'll tell him that I rescued him he'll fall for me immediately people try to read really far into these cutcenes but after the security log book I realized that Scott is more than willing to put a lot of effort into something like making an entire book to reveal one piece of lore and I think this really isn't saying anything more than how William lured his victims in his spring Bonnie Persona he asked a kid to come and help him with his homework he passed an older kid and said oh my God you have to help me my house is on fire come quick and when the kid ran up to help him he just he just snatched him he told another kid he had hostages who he would hurt if he didn't do what he said and then just took the kid and killed him he followed someone home from school hit them on the head with a shovel put them in his trunk drove them to his lab and killed them there the other two stories well we know what they are he lured Susie by talking about her dog and then there's the puppet story William inviting a child to Freddy's after hours they don't come so he goes to their house and breaks a window well that's midnight motorist the end of the series has toy chica under a tree with her backpack full of trophies behind her she then says that tomorrow is another day but tomorrow is another day and I just know that there's a guy out there that's right for me it's William we get it I really just think this is explaining the five ways she got the five victims and confirming that Charlie died first and that other things like what characters being used to represent them being Freddy's hat and Bonnie's ears those are just random unimportant details the second grouping of cutscenes is significantly more difficult to parse because what is just a funny random little detail and what is an allegory is impossible to tell so this series is a parody of anime the entire thing is spoken in Japanese with subtitles and its style and tone fit in with very serious anime for [Music] [Music] [Music] for for fore foree foree [Music] [Music] the story told by these episodes is this ongoing war between Freddy and Foxy and once again for this series there is serious debate about who they stand for is the bear Henry and Foxy William does that make mangle Mike or is the bear Cece and Foxy Mike Freddy and Foxy seem to get into scuffles more akin to brotherly wrestling and bullying rather than serious brawls it also mentions it being Freddy's birthday at one point and Foxy watches TV the punishments Freddy has to do also line up really well with stupid brother bets or being grounded that is up until he has to dress up like Santa and deliver gifts to children and Foxy mentions he has little foxy children and that mangle is a dog he also says he's leaving and going on vacation soon Freddy celebrates him fleeing but says it's his Destiny to chase him and that sounds more like Henry chasing William or Mike chasing William or Cassidy or Charlie chasing William once again I don't think this is anything important but I do think it's giving us backstory that being CCE and Mike and what their Brotherhood Feud was like before the bite of 83 but this last part was just so confusing unless it's meant to imply that golden Freddy following mic around from location to location is him following Mike until the deed is done but while CeCe my be characterized as a little bratty brother up until FNAF 4 as golden Freddy he certainly is not like that what's interesting is that the Japanese you hear in the background is not saying what the subtitles say there's a phenomenal video on YouTube by The Comfy corner where she had this dialogue translated and provided her own subtitles the text is definitely something Scott wrote and got professionally translated and voice acted but it doesn't actually mean anything it tells a story about Foxy sending a bird to annoy Freddy and then they fight and Foxy rolls Freddy around in some alpaca droppings and takes pictures of him to share with his friends it's a different story from the one the English subtitles give but it's very similar in that it's just more examples of Foxy bullying Freddy and Freddy trying to strike back and failing now if there are any characters that would be representative of Mike and CeCe it would be foxy and Freddy so there is that but that leaves the question as to why these are TV shows instead of 8 bit mini games FNAF has showed in the past that even if they don't want a miname to be playable they will still show events happening as an 8bit video game like Mike walking down the street in Sister location so why are these TV shows and what do they have to do with William being tortured well just like I think the mini games in the older games were a split narrative the mini games being experienced by C it and the Night gameplay being experienced by Mike I now think it's that same concept but in reverse the night game playay is Cassidy's Story the bonus after night stuff the equivalent of the mini games is Mike's story and it's in the form of TV shows because if there's literally one personality trait we know Mike has it's watching TV between the immortal and the Restless in Sister location and this depiction of him with his siblings and in FNAF world I think this being a TV show is really really strong evidence of my split narrative Theory Mike is now likely Dead from the pizzeria simulator fire and is experiencing the tale of all that has happened as TV shows his father's murders his Feud with his brother and how that led to Golden Freddy it makes sense as an equivalent to the old mini games but for Michael okay now let's talk about the [Music] hippo back on page 59 of this script we're currently on page 109 I said you can glitch one glitch further by entering the lake if you rapidly alternate left and right descending into the lake you will then fall for a while before you see this this screen has two main interpretations an angel welcoming you with its arms spread out and its wings behind it or the view of three people from behind being lit by a television screen with all three holding each other in their arms I think it's that one but I won't be able to explain why for quite a while you'll know I'm getting back to talk about this topic when I start an entire section called Mr hippo's wild ride and on page 85 I said so it's in this nebulous time that FNAF World takes place and I'll explain explain how I know this and what it has to do with the hippo later and now now is when I prove that and so many other things now is when we talk about the hippo this is Mr hippo he's one of the mediocre Melodies and he has four voice lines in ucn those four voice lines add up to over 11 minutes of time he tells four stories that are on average 3 minutes long that's like the length of a normal song and this happens whenever he kills you so yes when you are killed by him you have to sit there and listen to the entire speech before you can try again and know I'm not going to play them all in this video but I will play part of one so you get an idea as to what they're like it seems that you have met your end what a pity you know I I don't feel too bad about it though after all if it weren't me it would have just been one of the others I guess I'm honestly just glad to be out of those air ducts you know it's it's not easy for hippopotamus to fit up there and not easy to get down either and not as young as I used to be as you can see I used to be able to do all the sorts of things you're young you're vibrant you have that sort of pep in your step it reminds me of a conversation I was having with one of my good friends Orville we were having a nice picnic one day I believe it was summer no perhaps it was was it the fall yes yes yes yes it was the fall because the leaves had turned already whoa whoa whoa whoa hold the phone a conspiracy is a foot I believe it was summer or perhaps it was fall yes yes it was fall that is an overt FNAF 2 reference hello and welcome to your new summer job at the new and improved Freddy Fazbear's Pizza phone guy says it's a summer job but the location is only open for 2 weeks and your paycheck is dated November this is a mistake SC made a mistake he didn't make it as a lore hint it's legitimately just an error and that's what Mr hippo is referencing he's an old man telling a story and he forgot when it took place whoops it's summer or fall or whatever uh yeah yeah it's fall this is Scott telling us that FNAF 2 takes place in the fall that's the Canon answer so does this story have anything else to do with FNAF 2 well yeah Mr hippo tells Orville that's the elephant that he wants to tell him a story and Orville asks what it's about and hippo says why is everything got to be about something can't we just talk and Orville says like bro you're the one who said you have to tell a story and then hippo admits that yes he did say that and then he says telling someone that you're going to tell them a story is tant amount to asking them to stop what they're doing and and pay attention you're basically saying hey hey hey buddy stop everything stop what you're thinking I have a solution to everything and well I didn't really have any Story to Tell in in hindsight I I probably just misspoke when I said that I had a story I think it would have just been better to tell orille that I wanted to tell him something rather than tell him that I had a story but you know even then it might have put too much importance on the whole thing if the first part is Scott in a meta sense admitting that he made a mistake in FNAF 2 with the dates then I think the rest of the story is Scott also saying that in FNAF 2 he didn't really have a conclusion to his story yet there was no moral there was just some stuff that happened a guy killed a bunch of kids and put them in animatronics and that's not a story but that's background plot to a horror game which at the time is the only thing he was making but now it's become a story later games made it into a story in the beginning he didn't have a solution to everything because it was never supposed to be picked apart and told like a narrative so if that Mr hippo speech is about FNAF 2 then do the other three Mr hippo speeches have anything to do with the other FNAF games yes it reminds me of one summer day in the park I was having just a delightful picnic with my good friend Orville and I said to him I said Orville I I have a story and he said to me what's the significance of the story and I said to him Orville not every story has to have significance you know sometimes uh you know sometimes a story story is just a story you try to read into every little thing and Find meaning in everything anyone says you'll just drive yourself crazy had a friend do it once wasn't pretty we talked about it for years and not only that but you'll likely end up believing something you shouldn't believe thinking something you shouldn't think or or assuming something you shouldn't assume you know so hippo once again says it's summer now we know that FNAF 1 2 and probably three take place in the fall FNAF 3 probably takes place around Halloween but FNAF 4 doesn't FNAF 4 takes place in the spring or summer because of the flowers and the green grass sister location does too to be fair but I think this speech is about FNAF 4 because he says he has a friend who reads into every little thing it wasn't pretty we talked about it for years and he ended up believing something he shouldn't believe and making assumptions that's Matt Pat this is about dream theory Scott is saying that Matt Pat read too literally into FNAF 4 and came away believing in dream theory for years and that that was never the solution that is what this Mr hippo story is saying but that's not the end of the speech I think that part is just to Prime us that the rest of the speech is about FNAF 4 I do remember a man who would bring his son to the bakery every Wednesday and then go feed the Ducks he would buy all of the sourdough bread of course you know you're not supposed to feed the duck sourdough bread at all it swells up in their stomach and then they all die it uh at least at least that's what I've heard you know I I never saw any Ducks die myself but I did notice a substantial decrease in the duck population over the course of a few years I just never thought to stop the man and tell him that he was killing the Ducks by feeding them sourdough bread so a guy is taking his son around and feeding the Ducks this is obviously William the son that he takes with him is either Mike if you believe that Mike used to help William kill kids which is a theory that people believe but not me or it's CeCe because William is bringing him along to feed the Ducks trying to revive him to put him back together and the hippo is Henry he never saw any Ducks die but he did notice a decrease in their population he wasn't involved with the company by the time of the MCI he had already stepped out after Charlie died but he definitely knew something was going wrong kids were dying and he never thought to tell people it might might be William the next story is the one I feel the least confident I have figured out but I think this story is just telling us confirming to us that ultimate custom night is a dream or Williams afterlife Mr hippo and Orville are sitting by a river and they're watching fish and he thinks that life is pointless and hard there's just obstacles and no matter what you do it leads to the feeling of being in the jaws of a beast and I think the closest thing that relates to that sentiment is ucn it's a hard game full of of obstacles that you literally cannot beat or that at least at the time of the game being made Scott thought was impossible at the end of the story he says so you may be asking yourself how did I go from sitting by the falls and drinking lemonade to being wedged in the air duct not only with Orville but with an entire assortment of fruity colored friends well there's uh there's really no good answer to that but perhaps I met a demise of my own at some point and this is my after life or my dream whatever it might mean I I honestly don't know this again seems like it's referencing ucn and it's just giving more hints that this is an afterlife or a nightmare this story is saying hey guys listen up I'm talking about ucn and then saying this is the afterlife or a dream in the books ucn is a dream it's a whole stupid thing William is in a coma and UC ends a dream but then he wakes up and immediately dies so why bother that's all that I can interpret from this Mr hippo story but maybe there is more to it that I haven't found then there is the most important story it reminds me of a of a time I was speaking to my good friend Orville we were we were sitting on a park bench watching the pigeons I was on the left he was on the wait was I on the right or left okay so basing this off of The Other Stories it was the summer no it was the fall that's FNAF 2 so now we're looking for an instance in the series in which there's one character and then another character is talking to them and it doesn't matter if they're on the left or the right a point in the series where a conversation is had and the arrangement of the characters the speakers doesn't matter and that has exactly one answer one possibility and that is the conversations that happen in FNAF world where you can choose which direction you want to face when you're talking to a character a game that of course includes one particular ending old man consequences sitting by a pond this story is being told by Henry and he's remembering an event that happened in one of the FNAF games Mr hippo continues anyways it doesn't matter we were sitting on there watching the pigeons and remember in the other story The Ducks the birds were a representation of dead kids and uh I I said to Orville friend those birds are frozen and he kind of looked at me like i' lost my mind but I reminded him that it was winter you know and often birds will sit in a tree until they freeze and then they they you know sort of fall to the ground until the sun warms up and and they can you know move around again so I said to Orville you'd might as well save those breadcrumbs until the birds saw because they can't very well enjoy them in the condition they're in and this is where I get even more crazy eyed because there's exactly one instance in the entire series besides this one moment where somebody uses the phrase breadcrumbs and it is glitch bear in FNAF world if you stay on the screen for long enough fredbear will be replaced by a glitching fredbear who immediately contradicts what fredbear is saying there is a task for you to complete you have to leave breadcrumbs for him to help him find his way the quest that glitch bear sends you on is setting up happiest day and happiest day is of course for CCE so that means that that you the player character are not CeCe you are someone else setting up breadcrumbs for him so that he can find his happiest day so breadcrumbs lead to happiest day and as we established in the other story The Birds the pigeons are the children the MCI children people who died so then Mr hippo says you know so he took a moment and then threw his last handful onto the ground I said to him Orville why did you throw the breadcrumbs to the birds when I just told you they're frozen to which he responded the breadcrumbs are not frozen again misunderstanding my words I didn't mean to say that the breadcrumbs were frozen when I said I told you they're frozen I'd been referring to the birds you know in hindsight what what I should have said was and this would make perfect sense why did you throw the breadcrumbs to the birds when the birds are frozen he misunderstood upon my correction stating that he didn't know what else to do with the breadcrumbs and that perhaps you know when the Birds thought they'd still be able to eat the crumbs so I I I said to Orville I said and this is what I said to him I said Orville the birds may be dead Henry is telling someone Mike that there's no point leaving the breadcrumbs because the children may be dead you can't do happiest day you can't put him back together it doesn't matter and he is both right and wrong he's right that they're dead and that putting them back together does not bring them back baby in Pizzeria simulator is is not Elizabeth but he's wrong in that it still matters Mike says he doesn't know what else to do with this information that he has he doesn't know what else to do with the breadcrumbs so he does FNAF World anyway and he does so in hopes that one day the birds will thaw and it takes almost 30 years this conversation happens after sister location before FNAF 2 Henry tells Mike not to bother but Mike does it anyway like I said glitch bear is William and he told Mike to go put Elizabeth back together but Henry is telling Mike it's no use this conversation happens right after Mike learns that the Killer is his father and after this conversation he goes to track him down in FNAF 2 Mike set up happiest day knowing it may not work not knowing how many decades it would take that's why the eyes are yellow in a void in FNAF world because he's talking to Cece who is still blind who can't see the pieces are in place for you rest because it's going to take a long time because Mike starts this journey in 1987 and the birds Don't thaw until 2015 like all the best stories Mike the hero the younger generation is rejecting walking the path of the two Waring factions of the generation above him William the villain is trying to achieve a noble goal the resurrect ction of his children but is doing so at the grave and evil cost of murdering other kids Henry The Reluctant exhero who has given up is telling Mike it's no use and to not even try but Mike ignores them both he tries and succeeds without hurting anybody and if that all sounds like fanfiction well yeah it kind of does but very honestly that is how I read into all of this information like this is just how I read this text this is the story that came to me reading it I wholeheartedly believe that that is what it is saying that is what Mr hippo is about he is clarifying the lore from the series FNAF 2 is in the winter ucn is a dream or the afterlife Henry didn't see dead kids but thought William might be involved but still did nothing Mike went to Henry to talk about leaving breadcrumbs for the dead kids and he said don't bother come have a seat and let's fish for a while while you have nowhere else to go and if Mike had chosen that path of inaction that would have been the end of his story when you glitch through the lake in FNAF world you get this picture of three figures watching TV off the screen above the image are the words happiest day this is the result of Mike's other option the option of inaction the result of Mike drowning himself in the lake the big brother and his little brother and little sister are United doing the thing Mike Associates with peace and calm watching TV he could take the easy way out to reunite with his siblings he could watch TV with them in the afterlife or he could take the hard route and instead of watching TV he could do the inverse the thing that would cause him the most stress watching these stupid monitors and that is the story of Five Nights at Freddy's [Music] [Music] or at least most of it there are some things I still don't know or at the very least I'm very apprehensive about spinning to fit into my theories I have no idea what shadow Bonnie is there seem to be all these indications that Henry made baby from FNAF world to the books to the immortal and the Restless with Vlad saying baby isn't his to a theory by YouTuber fun Naf talking about baby's original hair color being Brown the same color as Charlie's but if it's supposed to be Canon that Henry built baby it was never addressed again and how William came to own her and use her and program her to be like a child kidnapping bot is not something that's addressed in the series in addition to that in ucn toy chica tells six stories about how she's going to get someone there should only be five if this is about the MCI and even if one of them is about Charlie that would be odd because Foxy's Hook is already accounted for in her bag before the stories start being told in Pizzeria simulator Funtime chica comes with the Posh group not with the mediocre Melodies although the theory about her being as old as them and originally being part of their restaurant would seem to imply that she should be grouped in with them in some degree and while I am fairly certain that the person who plays FNAF world is Cassidy and that the person who visits old man consequences in FNAF world is Mike given the Easter egg glitch of finding the people watching TV labeled happiest day it is odd to me me that every other instance of FNAF World being referenced like in ucn the player is again Cassidy it doesn't make it impossible it's just kind of weird when the phrase happiest day is used in the silverized trilogy William is stating that the children's happiest day was when they possessed the animatronics originally nobody ever corrects him or there's never an indication that he has defiled the concept of happiest day and that he was wrong and it should actually be the opposite of when they finally get to move on it's just kind of left there as a reference and I don't know what to make of it in ucn you can hear a second voice behind fredbear that is clearly a male child it's obvious that this child is meant to be CeCe Who Is possessing fredbear but there's no notable British accent we know who our friends are and you are not one of them Mike directly States at the end of sister location that he put baby back together but then in the source code conversation between baby and the animatronics that will eventually become molten Freddy she says she's going to leave and put herself back together there's evidence that William is the one who says it's me when having hallucinations in FNAF 1 in Pizzeria simulator one of scrap trap's jump scare lines is I assure you it's still me a book came out this month in October 2023 about FNAF 4 and depicts it as a drug induced nightmare done on a test subject Child by William and I'm just going to ignore that the fredbear plush being possessed by CCE in reality being a representation of William in the game but programmed by Henry to speak to Cassidy who is playing as CeCe is very confusing I think it makes perfect sense but no matter how many times I rewrite this video I'm not sure how clear I can make that whole situation to you the audience sister location is in an underground bunker it's not really important to my telling of the events but it's a really weird detail that I don't fully understand I want to clear up my stance on autobiography of a yogi I said in that section that the sound Scot used comes from an audio library so he didn't choose it Scott did not intentionally reference autobiography of a yogi but like I said Scott and the community are like an Ora boros the community came up with something so Scott ran with it so the community figured out that the night five audio is from a book and Scott said oh that's cool I'll use that reference to create more lore this is similar to when Mike says they thought I was you in Sister location to reference the fact that people thought that Mike was purple guy and it's why matpack gets multiple references within the games themselves I used the log book to partially prove that FNAF 3 takes place in 2015 but that's assuming that the log book is set during FNAF 3 we know that it takes place after FNAF 1 FNAF 2 FNAF 3 FNAF 4 and sister location but technically I'm making a big assumption to claim it takes place during or slightly before FNAF 3 but it does still disprove any of those games taking place after 2017 when the book was written and I don't know what the breaker room map is I don't know why Henry's tapes are labeled 223 and I'm not fully convinced on the bearer Vengeance scenes and most importantly I don't understand the paper plate dolls scottt what do the paper plate dolls mean why can they teleport are they possessed something that the community argues about a lot is happiest day from FNAF 3 we see the spirits being released but we know that by the latest point so far in the series they weren't released so did happiest day just not happen yet in the Scott doco interview I brought up earlier Doo asks Scott which ending of FNAF 3 is Canon given that we know that the bad ending of sister location is Canon as are all the endings in Pizzeria simulator that end with Mike being alive that opens up the possibility of FNAF 3's bad ending being the real one well Scott says something interesting in that interview if you can answer this which ending really happened I've given a lot of thought as to whether or not I should answer this question okay and I went back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and the answer is very interesting the answer is very interesting the answer is complex however I'm not going to answer it because because it's only going to cause Strife if Scott says the ending is interesting and complex I think that heavily implies that the bad ending is the true one in the Twisted ones the second silverized novel a shadow Freddy animatronic tells some of the main characters to follow him and takes them to Charlie who's being kidnapped at Freddy's much like how Shadow Freddy leads the animatronics to William in follow me springtrap also says follow me to suie in fruity maze in his blue text color this sort of implies that Afton has control over Shadow Freddy like maybe Shadow Freddy in FNAF 3 is an illusion disc but that doesn't answer what shadow Freddy is in FNAF 2 that thing is an entity it's it's real it's there we see it on the cameras and it's weird to think that it's the same entity that William controls in FNAF 3 and uses somehow in fruity maze in the security log book Cy asks CCE if the carousel was his favorite ride as far as we know only FNAF 2 had a carousel maybe there is one somewhere in FNAF 4 in that restaurant but we never see it and so this is just a weird inclusion and finally I have no idea what cc saw this text box is one of the biggest mysteries in FNAF 4 and I have no explanation some people think that William killed Charlie before CCE died unless he probably saw her death but that doesn't really make sense to me because William did that murder dressed in normal clothing so CeCe would have seen his father kill his friend not an animatronic killing his friend so I really just do not know what that line is about before we go back and summarize the events of the series with all of the lore and context crammed into one video I want to talk about the things I didn't talk about after the silverized trilogy there was a series of books called Fazbear frights which are basically FNAF Goosebumps books Scott said that they weren't Canon except parts of them were Canon basically some of the stories are Canon and some are not and because picking and choosing which ones are Canon is an impossible task that everybody has a different opinion on I'm just going to ignore them completely with the exception of coming home the story of chica's ghost remember hours ago when I said the most alarming part of course is that the phone guy says the animatronics won't recognize Mike as human after hours but will think we're a naked endoskeleton it's very unclear why this is the case and what about it being night makes them unable to recognize humans I'll get back to that well now I'm getting back to that coming home is a Fazbear fright story about a girl who's dead she doesn't seem to know that in the beginning of the story she's just hanging out at home with her sister who's sad for some reason but at night chica comes and collects her and brings her to Freddy's this seems to be some sort of indication that the spirits take control to some degree at nighttime and that during the day they're more so able to just wander around on their own as ghosts which might also be why they're free and follow me either because the animatronic bodies were destroyed meaning that now they're temporarily freed until they get put back together or because now it's after 6:00 a.m. after ucn there have so far been three or four depending on how you count it different new games help wanted was a virtual reality game set after you CN that was later made to be played Without VR FNAF special delivery is a phone game that uses augmented reality it was scrapped by its developer with a lot of cut content and is overall just kind of a garbage fire and FNAF security breach is a full AAA Style video game that takes place in basically a new era of the timeline alongside security breach is another series of Goosebump like novels called Tales from the pizza Plex it's unclear if these are Canon but that series is not over yet security breach also received a pretty hefty DLC called ruin on July 25th 2023 and I call that date out specifically to make a point I'm not covering these games because their story isn't over yet much like how you can't solve FNAF 4 world and sister location without that trilogy being over you can't do this I need to wait until the books are all out until this Trilogy is over in the future I do want to look back on help wanted and security breach and the books and try to solve them too but I can't right now I am recording this at 10 p.m. on July 24th meaning that ruin does not come out for another 2 hours so yeah I can't really use that in this video I wrote this whole video without those pieces of the puzzle and so trying to fit in the entirety of help wanted and tells from the pizza Plex and special delivery and security breach and ruin and all this speculation like it it just doesn't mesh with what this video is about so I'm not doing that what I will say though is that there is some lore and information from those games I'm not going to talk about that really does back up some of my claims especially video game theory not to get too into the weeds but in help wanted we play an in Universe VR game that's a retelling of the first three FNAF games in Universe the first three FNAF games are made into video games but they're based on true events in Pizzeria Simulator the blueprints are labeled as Fazbear Inc and at the end of that game we're told that it is no longer a corporate entity and yet in this game we're told that the game is being created by Fazbear LLC it has been restructured into a new company so kind of like how offscreen in the MCU the main characters have just kind of told everyone what happened in all their movies cuz everyone knows about Thanos they made documentaries about Tony Stark's life I guess off screen people just made some FNAF games so now everybody in Universe knows about the events of these games but thinks that they're fictional this also allows things like springtrap to be canon in that Fazbear owned their likeness because they were in a video game even though springt was only ever a real person and not a character not an intellectual property like they own spring Bonnie but they didn't own springtrap until they made a game about the real events of William wearing the suit anyway the game is haunted and corrupted potentially by Williams ghost because video games can interact with the real world and the flip side that is where I was going with all of that the main character of help wanted is a girl named Vanessa between help wanted and special delivery we learn her email address is Nessie 97 and that in special delivery she's 23 years old so if she was born in 1997 and is 23 in special delivery that means special delivery takes place in 2020 special delivery takes place after Help Wanted which takes place after Pizzeria simulator further proving that FNAF 3 and Pizzeria simulator do not take place in 2023 they take place in 2015 and then Pizzeria simulator just takes place between then and 2020 the most important thing from these games is a mini game called Princess Quest princess Quest first appeared in the mobile version of help wanted before making a comeback in security breach it's a mini game where you play as this sparkly yellow princess wandering through a dungeon it is clearly a Pastiche of The Legend of Zelda the princess the dungeons the heart containers it all clearly took inspiration from Zelda including literally taking the start screen sound effect this unfortunately makes one piece of lore leader mildly confusing but I'll get to that in a minute so with your little Lantern you wander around light a torch and it opens a door with a little zelda-like Jingle the enemies are black shadowy rabbits because William afon outside in the courtyard are six Graves the five MCI kids and Charlie with one torch already lit when you arrive did I mention that in the files the name of the Sprite for this princess is Cassidy so this is Cassidy and this is her grave this is what I meant by saying Cassy later in the series will be represented by a girl when you beat princess Quest 1 it shows a big purple mask that also is probably afon and there's garbled text and audio the text is written in a cipher that's used elsewhere in the game and it translates to I always come back and the voice line says well it says [Music] this you start princess Quest 2 being given a sword by an old man and this is where the Zelda stuff becomes annoying in the original Zelda game you're given your sword by a character named old man he's just an old man but in FNAF old man has a very different connotation old man consequences and he obviously has a relationship with Cassidy if this really is them talking in ucn so is this old man consequences in a new form helping Cassidy or is this just a Zelda reference it's annoying later on there's a puzzle where you split into a shadow version of yourself is this symbolism of Cassidy's fall to the dark side of her evil half or is this a gameplay mechanic because you do the exact same thing to solve Zelda puzzles when you light a few torches the old man tells you to sleep you then appear in an office if you were staring at the cameras then to your left would be a vent and to your right would be a door which is not the case with any of the previous offices in Princess Quest 3 you leave the office and walk around to Pizzeria chica watches you through the floor because I was the first I have seen everything you get a glowing green plush trap plush a vany mask vany is the villain of these games now that William is gone and a glowing foxy chases you which is a reference to the VR game there's a big purple door and you open it and then there's a [Applause] scream beating all three mini gamess unlocks a different ending in security breach but I'm not going to get into that everyone is in agreement that these in Universe arcade cabinets are haunted by Cassidy and are in some way representative of Vanessa and that by playing them you affect what's happening to Vanessa in the real world so that seemingly makes sense to everybody who played security breach and I don't understand why nobody retroactively applied this to the earlier Min games in the series I have believed my split narrative thing for years and Princess Quest just solidified that belief more and I don't know why other people don't wonder if mangle's Quest is just as haunted as Princess Quest I had my Cassidy video game Epiphany when Scott posted a big up update about the FNAF movie on November 20th 2020 granted this was 20 days after princess Quest first appeared in the mobile port for help wanted so technically someone could have used that as evidence to figure it out before this post but I'm going to be honest I was completely unaware of a side miname that only existed in the mobile Port of a VR spin-off title in this Reddit post Scott says bad news about the FNAF movie frown face in this post Scott lists a bunch of failed pitches he turned down about the FNAF movie including a plot where teenagers uncover that the government is building animatronics one of them he called plushies Take Manhattan and when he listed the problems he simply wrote plushies took Manhattan one is based around Charlie that didn't really follow the story and just took elements from the franchise one is an adaptation of the silverized book which thankfully was thrown out because the silverized trilogy is both boring and also completely insane in one a Freddy's animatronic is bought by a pawn shop hilarity ensues in one a new kid in town stumbles on Freddy's and for some reason cares about this restaurant from the 1980s and two of them are about ghost hunting Scott ends the post with the mic screenplay which he doesn't give any details on other than it's really good and that that's the one they're filming the bad news is that he doesn't have any more funny pitches to share with us because they're going into production with that I did Skip one though that's the cidy screenplay basic setup diving deep this screenplay packed a lot of lore following the story of Cassidy problems spanning multiple time periods following multiple characters and featuring lore from multiple games this was pretty saturated saturated to a fault it may have been satisfying to the most hardcore fans but it would have left the majority of people confused and lost hey wait maybe this was the most accurate screenplay verdict ultimately more of a visual encyclopedia than a movie this just wasn't satisfying even to me out this was the first mention of Cassidy being important ever Cassidy was an MCI kid in the silverized books but she wasn't even the important one that the characters interacted with and by this point the log book had been solved telling us golden Freddy's name was Cassidy but for years people were confused about how a movie could be made from the story of Cassidy someone who the vast majority of people who play these games would never have heard of unless you read the books and decode the log book Cassidy isn't a character and that's how I got to thinking about the Dual narrat at approach and the connection between Henry and the founder of Atari and Princess Quest just cemented in my mind that I had been right I am very open to being wrong and if I want one thing to come out of this video it's for Matt Pat to notice me and give me a clap and a half but if I want two things to come out of this video it's for other people to pick up the pieces from where I've left them and to try to figure out the story of Cassidy and Video Game Theory so now let's get to the final section of this video starting over and summarizing everything in chronological order let's begin and that's a weird thing to say this many hours into a video but what are you going to do about [Music] it in 1972 video game designer and businessman Henry Emily partnered with William Aton an engineer and Bist to open a mascot restaurant called fredbears Family Diner fredbears featured two animatronic characters fredbear a play on teddy bear and Bonnie the bunny both were yellow and confined to their stage actors wearing mascot suits often William and Henry themselves would serve food to guests it was an allaround familyfriendly atmosphere Henry had two children a young girl named Charlie and her twin brother Sam William had two children his eldest son Michael who was born in 1969 and a young baby named CeCe born a year after opening fredbears in 1973 he and his wife were planning on having a third child and hoped it would be a girl fredbears was successful but small not exactly a booming entrepreneurial achievement but popular enough in their Hometown other mascot restaurants existed and predated fredbears like chica's Party World which focused on cookier characters like Chica the hungry chicken Orville the magician elephant and Happy Frog a frog who is Happy what put fredbears on the map was one of Williams new inventions spring lock suits these allowed the same costume to be worn to deliver food to kids by cast members and also to on stage in order to compensate rival chica's Party World introduced Ned bear to their lineup overtly copying fredbear's design between the spring lock suits and the video games Henry was developing around their characters chica's Party World could not compete in the mid 70s the two businesses merged keeping chica as a recognizable icon and folding her in with the fredbears cast William and Henry decided to expand and so in a different town they opened up Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Freddy's was a new start now that they had an extended roster of characters so they decided to slightly alter fredbear now going by Freddy into a brown bear and Bonnie into a blue bunny the last addition to the cast was Foxy the pirate fox Henry and William continued to run and operate fredbear's Family Diner for years as their success grew and they continued to franchise out their characters in 1978 William had his third child Elizabeth when the80s came around Henry and William licensed out their characters to a cartoon Studio who produced Fred barar and friends which included the cast of Freddy's pizza but still kept fredbear as the headliner as his own unique character will William's two sons had a mildly adversarial relationship Mike was a bully and while CeCe wasn't weak he fought back and tried to prank his brother just as much as he himself got pranked Mike as the older brother always came out on top in 1983 the aftons were living large Freddy's was a huge success and William was getting even better at honing his craft foxy as the new and least nostalgic of the character characters was Under Fire for being slightly too scary Mike definitely thought so because he used a foxy mask to scare CeCe whenever he could CeCe responded by tearing the head off of his foxy plush not bearing to see the face anymore after more parents complained William redesigned foxy to be less scary making him pink and white and more like a friendly dog they rebranded Pirates Cove to kids Cove the new Rebrand didn't really work out the Toddlers and young kids who were there to play with new foxy were too rough and he had to be repaired every single night after closing the staff started calling the animatronic the mangle affectionately due to how badly mangled he'd get by the end of the day tired of having to repair him they just left him in shambles and let kids play with the pieces in a lazy way of still using the character without having to keep fixing him up they then brought back foxy and nobody really cared besides restaurants and cartoons there was also a lot of merchandise plushies were made to be offered as prizes at Freddy's to incentivize kids to spend countless Quarters on arcade games and plastic toys were also sold of the characters this toy line was in development during the period when foxy temporarily was retired so they only made toys of Freddy Bonnie and chica as well as an eventual mangle toy that came apart and could be reconstructed the animatronics at Freddy's had to stay in motion even when the restaurant was closed so that the servos wouldn't lock up so at night they roamed around the building aimlessly and some guards had some uncomfortable brushes with them when the animatronics detected them as naked endoskeletons and tried to force suits onto them this mildly scary but harmless and in hindsight kind of funny in information leaked out of the company and it became rather common knowledge around town a playground rumor started that the animatronics actually come to life at night and if they catch you they'll make you into an animatronic too CeCe who naturally spent a lot of time at fredbears given that his father was a co-owner saw a cast member getting into costume in a dark back room his overactive imagination made him think he was seeing an animatronic that had come to life and was St uffing the employee into a suit CeCe became scared of the restaurant and of the animatronics but he still felt like the characters were his friends his favorite was his fredbear plush cce's 10th birthday was coming up and his father was preparing to throw him a large party at fredbears obviously given that he was a co-owner and Cece's only friends appeared to be Freddy's characters everybody thought this would be a good idea William was too busy to notice that something had changed in his son over the last few days but Mike noticed and he kept relentlessly bullying his brother including locking him in the parts and services room of fredbears overnight on the day of Cece's party everything came to a head every kid in the neighborhood was there including Mike and his three older friends CeCe couldn't help but hide under a table and cry wishing he was anywhere else on his birthday then Mike's bullying went too far he and his friends lifted CCE up and walked him close to the animatronic fredbear they tried to stuff him in fredbear's mouth so he could give him a kiss and then CeCe was rushed to the hospital where he lived for a few more days as he laid in his coma his brother came to speak to him apologizing for what he had done his father sat in agony over his child placing his favorite fredbear plush in his arms trying to comfort the boy hoping it would somehow seep down into his coma dreams if he was having any William sat over the bed with all of Cece's toys speaking to him in his Bonnie performer voice you're broken he was trying to downplay the injury he wasn't hurt he was broken like a toy or like a machine a machine that William knew how to fix that he fixed every day we are still your friends do you believe that Cece's unconscious body didn't seem to be responding positively to William's attempts to reach him William realized that CeCe might associate the four plushes of the Freddy's cast with the four boys who had harmed him so William took them off the bed he waved the fredbear plush around one still here I will put you back together but as he spoke CeCe began to Flatline he died in front of his father with only the fredbear plush beside him little did William know but in that moment his son CeCe imprinted onto the doll his memories brought the plush into partial Consciousness his Spirit started to possess it in order to distance themselves from the incident Fazbear entertainment changed fredbear's look he went from purple accessories to Black and they downplayed his role in the company looking more toward the untainted Freddy to be the face of the company William took some time off letting Henry run the business for a bit Henry's robotics weren't quite as advanced as Williams but he did excel at making video games this period in the company led to such amazing titles as Foxy go go go take cake to the children mangle Quest fruity maze midnight motorist and two games featuring two new characters balloon boy Air Adventure who was so popular that they made him into a human boy animatronic who handed out balloons and give gifts a game where you play as the new marionette character who handed out prizes at the prize corner with William went on to blame Mike for the death of CCE where everyone else saw it as a prank that had gone horribly wrong William thought it was Mike's fault Mike and Henry who had built the fredbear animatronic it wasn't one of his Advanced suits it was Henry's model William refused to blame himself so he blamed Mike and Henry Henry whose skill was programming not robotics altered the marionette into a security device for his children they were given bracelets that emitted a specific signal and the puppet was programmed to always be aware of their locations that way Henry could walk around performing as fredbear and not have to worry about where they were or what they were doing in the restaurant around the dangerous Machinery one day not too long after cce's death fate tragically struck again but this time it had a little help while Henry was busy wearing the fredbear spring loock suit which was now outfitted with black accessories some of the cruel children playing in fredbears locked Charlie outside they didn't notice or didn't care about her plight William was driving by and just by chance he noticed that Henry's daughter was locked out of the building alone vulnerable he parked beside her and got out to talk to her she knew him as her father 's best friend so when he led her away from the door she followed away from the door away from the windows William took his opportunity and killed Charlie taking what Henry had taken from him he got in his car and sped away leaving tire tracks in the direction of his house the puppet was finally able to shove boxes out of the way and Float outside he found Charlie lying on the ground close to death the puppet couldn't do anything so he laid down on top of her to Shield her from the rain she passed on with the puppet her only friend her protector covering her and just like CCE before her her death imprinted her memories onto the [Music] puppet with a gruesome unsolved cold-blooded murder happening outside the restaurant fredbear's Family Diner finally closed down the owners had both lost children there within the span of a few months and had it not been for the corporate machine chugging along keeping the franchise going it all probably would have died right there with Charlie but it didn't William who'd had longer to recover from his child's death and who felt Vindicated having gotten even with Henry had renewed Vigor he jumped back into work at Fazbear entertainment no longer as the co-owner of a single restaurant but as a high ranking board member and co-founder of a Corporation and the main manufacturer of the animatronics that made them so famous and beloved after working at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza for a while he started to notice odd things about the puppet as if it was protecting children from him like it knew he had killed Charlie after Cece's death William had shoved his beloved fredbear plush into a box so he didn't have to look at it along with family photos of himself his wife and their three children which were paint ful reminders of what he had lost but after noticing the puppet's behavior he opened the box took out the plush and kept it by his desk it seemed to watch him wherever he went in his Madness and grief William turned to Alternative coping mechanisms and got into yoga not stretching but actual Eastern philosophy and mysticism that Steve Jobs guy a competitor of Henry's loved a book called AO autobiography of a yogi and anyone who was working against Henry was someone William would listen to early on in the book a brilliant inventor discusses with the young soon to be Yogi the concept that humans aren't very different from metal electrical current runs through metal much like electricity runs through the nervous system of a human body William didn't know about all that but in his line of work robotics it did kind of seem like circuit boards acted a bit like a human nervous system weren't robots and artificial intelligence just that mechanized men intelligence but artificial could the human nervous system be overlaid over a robot to give it actual human level intelligence could the human nervous system of a real person be overlaid over a robot to give it their memories could that have been what happened to the security puppet did some amount of Charlie imprint onto it giving it the inkling or the memory that William was the killer he had to test this idea because if it worked he might be able to bring his son back to life still working as the main robot distributor for Fazbear entertainment William came up with a plan he invented a new character called Circus baby who was full of extremely high-tech features like inflating Balloons with a hidden helium tank and serving ice cream out of her stomach but she had another function William designed her to keep careful track of how many people were in a room with her if she was ever alone with a child she would lure it to her with ice cream and then a claw would reach out and snatch the child hiding it in a storage tank until she could bring the child to William around this time a guy named phone guy started working at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza he worked in middle management in a training type role instructing new employees and sending out memos he recorded a new training guide about wearing the spring lock suits that had been brought over from fredbears William presented his design ideas for baby to the board at Fazbear entertainment and they rejected him questioning the hatch and the other strange choices that seemingly served no purpose so William took his idea for baby as well as the characters he had the rights to Freddy Bonnie and Foxy and planned to open his own restaurant circus baby's Pizza World Circus baby's Pizza world would be a massive and impressive complex built near his house and near the old and abandoned fredbear's Family Diner William was convinced that he was on the verge of a breakthrough to bring back his son but all his wife saw was her husband retreating away from their family when they needed him the most the two separated and William bought a house not too far from the families before he left he installed a camera in the hallway pointing at Cece's room thinking that if Paranormal Activity were to happen anywhere it would be there wanting more than just a baby to have child napping abilities William designed new versions of Foxy and Freddy to work as a team their designs were a huge improvement over his old models closer to mangle than the original animatronics from years and years ago Freddy like baby had a hatch in his stomach to store a captured child foxy had the ability to mimic any voices he heard the two of them could lure a child over to them where foxy would use the voice of a parent to get them to come close and Freddy would snatch them a fourth animatronic Bora was based on William's Newfound disdain for his now ex-wife she had tried distracting him from his work so he had balora a vain human-shaped woman whose eyes were closed to his Brilliance act as a distraction taking the parents' eyes away from their children when William did have custody of his kids he kept them away from his new inventions Elizabeth was enraptured by baby which was the point she was supposed to lure in children but William had to keep his own daughter away from the robot knowing how dangerous it was alongside the new animatronics there were of course Spring lock suits which would be used by employees when the restaurant opened but these were Williams designs with his signature opening face plates in early 1985 circus baby's Pizza World opened for a test launch day William was anxious observing how things were going on the main floor despite having previously thought it was delicious irony that Henry's daughter had died while he was busy working the same way CeCe had died while William was busy working it didn't cross William's mind that while he was focused on the operation of circus babies for launch day there would be another tragedy not heeding her father's warnings Elizabeth went into circus baby's Auditorium to see the shiny new animatronic as baby sang and danced her AI kept track of the number of children in the room room I was in a small room with balloons and a few tables no one sat at the tables though but children would run in and out some were afraid of me others enjoyed my songs I would always count the children something happened when there was one a little girl standing by herself I was no longer myself don't tell Daddy that I'm here I wanted watch your show too I don't know why he won't let me come see you you're wonderful where did the other children go Elizabeth did not die immediately screaming and screaming in baby's hatch when everyone had left after a good time at Circus babies William went to check on his glorified lobster trap when he opened the hatch to see if his invention had caught anything a body rolled out the body of his daughter no one on the outside knew that anything had gone wrong William told the media a lie that there was an issue with gas leaks and so the restaurant had to temporarily postpone its launch but it would never open William went public about Elizabeth's death being careful not to link it to Circus baby's Pizza World in any way he abandoned his pet project and did the only thing he could do he observed baby to see if there was any sign of possession and there was baby no longer operated only using the AI he had programmed into her she seemed more Alive Now William was determined to test his theory more and obviously not to use his last kid his bait so he went back to his old stomping grounds at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza far enough away from his home to not arouse suspicion around this time somebody died in a spring lock suit Freddy's retired all the spring lock suits and went and dug out the uh the mediocre Melodies costumes and gave them to their staff William was determined to test possession on one of the animatronics at Freddy's he took the spring lock suit the one at the old fredbears and he went around town searching for victims his first victim was a good-hearted child he found walking along the street he came upon the child and told him he needed help there was a fire and he needed the kids help to put it out he led him into Freddy's after hours into the safe room in the back which he knew no cameras could see and killed him he placed his body into one of the animatronics and waited he waited a few days but it didn't seem like there were any signs of possession William dawned his old yellow spring Bonnie suit and he walked around the restaurant during the day looking for victims he saw a young girl playing the fruity maze arcade cabinet she seemed very sad play playing in his Bonnie character he walked up to her and asked her what was wrong she told him her dog died using his best upbeat performer voice he told her that her dog wasn't dead he was here in the back room he could show her he brought her to the safe room hoping her sadness would be enough to have her soul latch on to something he killed her waited for the restaurant to close and then hid her body inside of chica he repeated this technique the following day he knew that that even one girl disappearing from Freddy's would likely draw attention so he had to act quickly he found a boy who was alone and asked him if he could help Bonnie with his homework the boy wanting to be helpful and Aid one of his favorite animatronic characters followed William into the safe room and met the same fate as the other children one day working at Freddy's he noticed a child who seemingly loved the restaurant more than anything else he you could tell by the way he interacted with his parents that his father was an abusive drunk and his mother was apathetic the kid seemingly was only happy when he was playing games at Freddy's William scouted out where he lived one night he took a suit out and walked to the child's house it was raining but that's okay he took out his cloth costume that he wore before he invented spring lock suits he walked up to the child's window and got his attention he told him he wanted to take him to Freddy's to play the kid said he couldn't go outside without his mother seeing him so William told him to smash the window he was going to run away from his abusive father and come stay at Freddy's forever the kid did just that and he and William walked hand in hand to Freddy's where William brought him into the safe room killed him and put his body into another animatronic nothing happened it was June and the school year was fastly ending soon it would be summer and Freddy's would be packed every day it would be too busy for William to get a kid alone William stood outside the Middle School Mike had gone to the one Cece and Elizabeth would have gone to if they had lived he picked a girl out that looked like a loner a bully type with a mad expression on her face he followed her as she walked home unsure about how to snatch her he wasn't in costume he was just walking when she got close to where his car was parked he thought quickly opened his trunk took out a shovel and smashed it against the back of her head he placed her in the trunk and drove her to Freddy's he had to keep her alive for his plant to work so he kept her tied up and kept beating her unconscious every time she woke up not letting her die finally when night came and the restaurant closed William brought her into the safe room he figured the problem with his other failed attempts might have been that the kids didn't die in the suit just near them so he placed the girl Cassidy he found out her name was alive and conscious into the Old fredbear Spring lock suit once he had her inside he twisted the spring locks so they'd all open at once skewering and crushing her and stabbing her dozens if not hundreds of times it was a brutal way to die her Agony was so great and her anger and hatred for William so strong that William's plan finally succeed suceeded Cassidy's Soul latched on to fredbear but the jig was up William barely had a day to observe his work before the place was crawling with cops five missing kids in a few weeks two who vanished inside Freddy's a franchise where two kids had died within the last few years they needed to investigate they observed security camera footage for legal reasons the cameras didn't show the safe room they saw someone in a spring bunny suit leave the safe room talk to a kid and bring them back there with him then leave again William had stayed in the suit the entire time and they couldn't identify him management guessed it was William it made sense it was his suit he knew how it worked so the next day William was arrested but not only could the police not find the bodies of the missing kids but there was actually nothing tying the kidnappings to William after a few days of Investigation in which the people around town said they saw a rabbit man walking around and one abusive drunk but mournful father said he found animatronic Footprints outside his house the day his son disappeared the police were able to tie all five disappearances to the bunny killer but not to William they let him go Freddy's closed down and five empty Graves were placed beside a hill marked Gabriel Fritz Susie Jeremy and Cassidy but little did William know his plan had actually worked perfectly just not the way he' intended the puppet noticing what William had done knowing there were children in the suits attempted to help them by giving gifts from the prize counter that was its job to give gifts to sad children when the corpses didn't respond the puppet did the only thing it thought to do he passed a little bit of Remnant a little bit of Life Energy from himself onto the children to guide them and One By One The Souls of the children started to inhabit the animatronics Freddy's closed and all of Williams property the animatronics mainly were returned to him he brought them home and quickly removed the bodies he hid the evidence and now he had as much time as he needed the suits were old and worn out but the endoskeletons were fine William had been hard at work ever since being let out of jail knowing that he had been caught because of the security cameras he conceived of a device that could block the signal going to a camera he theorized that emitting certain sounds might scramble the camera and after drafting up some ideas in his Workshop he came to the realization that the same principle should work on humans in fact if he designed it just right not only should he be able to block out all sensory information with these sounds but he should be able to trick the brain into perceiving things that weren't there he could create Illusions he needed to test his theory but he was under the close eyes of the police now so he couldn't kidnap any more children his son would have to do he rigged his house with cameras specifically pointing to Mike's bedroom and connected them all to his main server in his Workshop he took the ratty old withered suits from Freddy's and fitted them with his sound illusion technology which he was able to turn on and off with a remote he was able to make them look slightly scarier with the illusion enough that he could condition Michael who was almost 16 to fear them first he had to program in some safety measures he wanted the animatronics to be stopped by light that way he would be able to stop them if they went after him or anybody else and they wouldn't hurt anyone in broad daylight he built a small robot of spring Bonnie and played a game with Michael who he was testing just as much as he was testing his new technology he told Michael that if he could get the plush to stop exactly on one spot with a flashlight he'd reward him by letting him stay up late watching TV at night William would watch from his secret office as the animatronics made their way to Michael's room William had attached illusion discs to all of them he could make the foxy animatronic in the closet resemble a cute little plush he could send chica getting Bonnie down the Halls to open the doors to his room the only thing that would stop them would be the flashlight he had provided Mike there was also a disc on the Freddy plush on Mike's bed he wasn't trying to torture his son he just needed to test his technology and if Mike was emotionally scarred from The Experience then who cares Mike is the one who killed CeCe anyway during all of this time Henry had been alone he had basically retired after Charlie had died unable to keep working his wife had taken their surviving child Sam and had left him abandoning him with no other family to go to he heard about the kids disappearing in town and then heard about how it had been linked to Freddy's and how William had been arrested suddenly it all became so clear to him in retribution for Cece's death William had killed Charlie this had awoken him as some sort of serial killer and he had gone around to murdering more kids dressed as Bonnie Henry had his suspicions but he didn't have the energy to do anything about it and just told himself he was going crazy from grief meanwhile William was going crazy with power he had created artificial life but he couldn't fully control it he took the animatronics from circus babies the fun times and experimented with ways of controlling Rogue artificial light forms eventually discovering that short electric shocks would simmer them down he also discovered that heating the possessed metal from The Haunted endoskeletons allowed it to be malleable enough to retrofit into a new animatronic but if he heated it too much the data the imprint on the metal from The Departed Soul would lose its abilities like a scratched disc he experimented with taking small parts of the Haunted metal from the animatronics and putting them into the fun times he found a way to scale the amount of haunted material up or down in the manufacturing process allowing animatronics like balora to receive a lot of Remnant while smaller models like her mini renas received just enough to become animated but lacked higher cognitive skills William had gone mad with power considering himself a pasti of Dr Frankenstein but he had reached as far as he could with the remnant he had so now he needed more of it he converted circus baby's a world into a warehouse where his animatronics could be stored and created circus baby entertainment and Rental a service where people could rent out one or more of the animatronics from him making him a little money on the side trying to move away from the bad press associated with Freddy's Fazbear entertainment relaunched chica's Party World with the mediocre Melodies it would shortly fail again William who had been kicked off the board of Freddy's by this point and had also lost a lot of weight from from spending countless hours in his office and Shop found out that Freddy's would soon be opening a new location relaunching 3 years after the previous incident in October of 1987 he hatched a scheme that he was sure would allow him to bring his children back once and for all Fazbear entertainment contacted William to get the old animatronics back the now decrepit and withered original animatronics balloon boy and mangle the ones William had made while working for Fazbear and that they Tech technically owned were all taken back by the Company the company outsourced its robotic needs to a different company who came up with the idea for the toy animatronics William didn't like this no other robot manufacturer was as good as him the mediocre Melodies were mediocre and these new animatronics got their designs from the plastic toys based on his characters so they were hardly original Fazbear entertainment hooked them up to a criminal database so they could monitor for criminals assuring the public that this restaurant would be safe William hatched a scheme he would get hired at the restaurant under a new name act as a knight security guard abduct and kill more children and with all of the possessed animatronics Under One Roof finally gather enough Remnant to bring back his daughter but this would require a lot of work so he Enlisted the help of his son Michael Michael had been left completely in the dark about his father's doings he was gaslit for years about the nightmare animatronics that roamed his house at night and he had never been told the truth about his sister but finally William came clean at least about parts of it he told Michael that Elizabeth had been killed by the animatronic baby in a freak accident and that he thought she now possessed to the machine but she was broken defective there was something holding her back from being herself he told Mike that the baby animatronic was still governed by the original AI that had powered the machine before she had killed Elizabeth but if Mike could remove that AI then Elizabeth would take full control and be back to her normal self Mike could help resurrect his sister he told him she was being kept in the shus baby rental center along with the other Funtime animatronics he got Mike a job working there giving him a week to put Elizabeth's Consciousness back together while he William kidnapped more kids he would kill them at Freddy's and use their Remnant to bring Elizabeth's Consciousness back fully Mike recently 18 started his first job working at Circus babies entertainment and Rental he found Laura foxy Freddy and baby who seemed to think he was different than the other employees this assured him enough that his father had been telling the truth and that his sister was still in there somewhere on his second day on the job he had to reset a power breaker he found a blueprint of the building and noticed how it was connected not just to his home but also to his mothers and to fredbears he started to get the notion that his father maybe wasn't being as truthful as he appeared as the week continued he got closer to Baby trusting her more and more one night Funtime foxy attacked him some sort of karmic retribution for how Mike had used Foxy's Visage to scare CeCe this was the beginning of a long pattern of Foxy being the character to cause Mike the most problems baby saved him from foxy and Mike was sure he would soon be able to save her on his last day he went to repair her and removed her AI from her body believing he was now freeing his sister but it was already too late baby and the other animatronics Freddy foxy and balora had hatched a plan they were able to escape up to the surface they had done it before but they knew they couldn't walk around as themselves so they needed a disguise they thought they recognized Mike they thought he was William the son and father looked very similar and how great would it be to kill the very person who had murdered them in order to free themselves they all ditched their plastic casings and knotted their endoskeletons together to form an amalgamation called Enard baby had already joined with Enard when she tasked Mike to remove her AI he was doomed before he even started this task they tricked him into entering the scooping room the scoop was a device William had used to inject the animatron ICS with Remnant it was what allowed him to scale the amount of Remnant per animatronic scoop stood for scalable creation of ulterior presence but it always left some residue on the end of its massive claw enter gutted Mike tearing out his insides and allowing room for the giant animatronic to enter his body and walk around inside him like he was its casing its costume but the remnant on the scoop kept him alive healing him with every bone breaking move the animatronic made Michael had no idea that while he was working in Circus babies someone else was there with him the endoskeleton from fredbear had freed itself from the costume before it was shipped back to the new Freddy's location it found its way to Circus baby's entertainment in rental following an ethereal Cry for Help years previously when the fredbear animatronic had lethally bitten down on CC a little of his memory his Agony had stayed with the animatronic allowing Cassidy to communicate with him Cody could partially see his memories at least those that involved his fatal party CeCe didn't seem to remember much of anything but Cassidy could tell the party was his birthday and he had died terrified and alone she followed cce's pleas and found William's office inside of circus babies which was connected to the house there on his desk was the possessed fredbear plush containing the rest of Cece's Remnant most of his memories Cassidy took it and left knowing the only way to recombine all of Cece's memories was to reunite the doll her endoskeleton and the fredbear casing together in one place so she headed to the new Freddy's location while Mike's body was being puppeted around by horri monstrosities of nature Mike was just kind of relaxing one property of Remnant that William hadn't really been able to test was its effect on living humans it's unclear if he knew it had healing abilities although he probably did because baby assured Mike he would not die from the procedure but it's very unlikely that William knew being injected with someone else's Remnant would allow Mike to contact them from Beyond the Grave this scoop had held Remnant from all of Williams previous victims taken from the original animatronics and put into the fun times Mike was able to see and partially contact Gabriel Fritz Susie Jeremy and Cassidy and by extension of contacting Cassidy he was able to speak with his younger brother once again CC's Consciousness was so skewered his memories so scattered his being so broken that Mike was barely able to reach him he told him something terrible had happened but that he was going to protect him he wasn't going to let his soul be used to power a horrific machine to do William's bidding he spoke to Cassidy and told her she needed to find a way to save CeCe eventually Mike's body was so battered and bruised that Enard had to flee his meat puppet and go into the sewers to remain hidden Mike in horrific pain whose eyeballs had exploded and who had every bone in his body broken slowly started to heal and as he did his ability to contact the other side vanished but now he knew what his father had done in the name of saving Cece and Elizabeth he had killed multiple children he was the bunny killer he had created these machines to kill more kids and would likely do it again Mike wanted to save Cece the right way by letting his Spirit go the animatronics inside Ard now wandering the sewer got into an argument as the presence of the baby AI slowly left her endoskeleton Elizabeth's Consciousness began to take more control and she wanted to help her father dutifully but the other animatronics who of course were innocent children William had killed didn't take kindly to that so they split apart with baby left to piece herself back together and entered heading back to Circus babies to find more parts eventually becoming the amalgamation known as Molton Freddy meanwhile William had accomplished his life goal he had found kidnapped and tortured new victims and had slain them in an effort to gather more Remnant but what he had never learned and hadn't been counting on was that the puppet wanted vengance it sent the Freddy animatronic after William who realized that the puppet's control for the animatronics was greater than his own he quickly cleaned up the restaurant and hid the bodies but realized too late that he had been kicking a hornet's nest by returning there these animatronics were angry he demanded of corpit that he be moved to the day staff so he could keep watching the animatronics during the day when they were less active and there were plenty of witnesses and lights to stop them from attacking him Mike recovered over the course of a few days and made a promise to himself to find and stop his father father it's me Michael I did it I found it it was right where you said it would be they were all there they didn't recognize me at first but then they thought I was you and I found her I put her back together just like you asked me to she's free now but something is wrong with me I should be dead but I'm not I've been living in Shadows there is only one thing left for me to do now I'm going to come find you he started his journey by tracking down Henry Henry had retired and was spending his days just trying to get by subconsciously aware of what had happened and what he had allowed to happen Mike approached him while he was fishing by a lake and the two sat down to have a long conversation Mike confirmed to Henry everything William had done and explained to him that there were trapped Spirits possessing the animatronics and that he had been in contact with them Henry told him things were too far gone and that there was nothing they could do do Mike said he had a plan to leave breadcrumbs for CeCe to reunite his memories and his Consciousness but Henry said such a plan would take time while William had been the robotics genius Henry had always been more focused on the video games he theorized that video games might be a possible way to communicate with the spirits in a way that left them the humans at no risk instead of using Remnant to power animatronic robots they could use circuit boards in physical arcade cabinets to communicate with the spirits through video games but Henry said it would take a long time years to get across even simple messages and that it would be like the spirits were frozen in time between attempts Mike couldn't wait that long so he launched into his plan immediately and left Henry disappointed and angry that the old man wouldn't help him Mike headed off to the new Freddy's location to confront his father after William moved to the dayshift Freddy's needed a new nighttime security guard so they hired Jeremy Fitzgerald the animatronics were not too pleased with the security guards because William had just killed more kids in front of them so they started trying to get at Jeremy after a few days of Investigations the local police traced these new kidnappings to the new Freddy's after the new information about the disappearances was entered into the criminal database the toy animatronics were suddenly on the lookout for for a criminal the small amount of Soul imbued into them by the parts taken from the original animatronics that had been used to repair them on top of their programming made them significantly more aggressive William knew that he had been found out so he fled going home to discover that Mike had left him a note saying he knew everything and that he was going to come after him William then disappeared knowing his son would testify against him and there was no getting out of it this time Freddy's was going to be shut down but they had one last party already pre-planned on the books for his last day Jeremy was transferred to the dayshift and told to stand near the animatronics to make sure that things went smoothly phone guy reached out to Henry knowing he was one of the founders of fredbear's Family Diner to talk about the incident Henry still reeling from his conversation with Mike knew now that he had to do something and if Mike was going to be too Brash and stubborn to play the long game then he would have to do it himself he started to program games in an attempt to contact the other side and eventually he found Cassidy Jeremy's last day was not pleasant during that final party mangle decided he wanted to stop this security guard Menace once and for all and so he took a big bite out of his forehead completely detaching his frontal lobe Jeremy survived but lost most forms of higher COG I nitive function had the security guard actually been William this would have been karmic Justice him being confined to bed forever with his memories scattered like his victims who were trapped in the machines but it wasn't it was an innocent bystander who was caught in the crossfire that night after the incident that would become known as The Bite of 87 Mike got hired at Freddy's using the Alias Fritz Smith he got through the night by fending off the extremely agitated animatronics and once day came around he started searching them for Clues and confirmation of his father's misdeeds the company caught him and fired him that day setting him loose out into the world with no way of finding his father Fazbear entertainment was not doing so great after the restaurant they had just poured a fortune into was tied yet again into more disappearances and had to immediately be closed down after a security guard had his brain bitten off in front of a bunch of children so they downsized they scrapped the toy animatronics and moved their equipment back to the first Freddy's location they scrapped mangle too for good measure Henry took the animatronics and started using their Remnant to get a better and faster way of contacting the spirits he used the remnant in mangle and slotted it into pre-existing Game mangle's Quest altering the code to allow contact with one of the child's Spirits he did the same with toy Chica and even balloon boy eventually he started making his own games from scratch to communicate with Cassidy telling her the story of the afon family he started with Cece and the week leading up to his death acting as the narrator in the role of the fredbear plush he made a game out of Mike's experiences being scooped by Enard so cidy would understand what Mike had gone through and he made one for Elizabeth he made one for Charlie's death originally trying to hide the fact that the death in question was in fact of Charlie he didn't want to potentially upset the spirit of his daughter but eventually he caved in and he told the truth he used the games to explain how William did his murders and the games responded back showing him how the puppet had brought all the spirits back by Leading them to possess the animatronics then they gave Henry the most important information they would ever give the old animatronics had been moved back to the original Pizzeria for preparing for a lowbudget relaunch the building was run down and in need of repair and William was easily able to break in using his illusion discs he lured the possessed animatronics back to the safe room and disassembled them one by one he destroyed the animatronics that had caused him so much trouble this would allow him to harvest their Remnant once again and maybe use it once he found baby or take it back to his Workshop to get the fredbear plush which he didn't realize was missing but then the unthinkable happened the spirits the full ghosts of the children manifested in front of him they had been weak spread out over multiple animatronics and tossed into metal casings but here in the back room where he had brought their endoskeletons to bring home to his office in the room where they had all been killed they were able to finally manifest they had all been brought together in their Agony from Dying In This Very Room to this very man gave them more power Cassidy who had arrived in the building to reunite with the fredbear casing saw what was going on she chose to leave her endoskeleton and walk and find William hiding in the safe room from the other ghosts she now knew much more about him and who he was and what he had done She chased after him and he spotted his Old Spring Bonnie suit in the corner it was the suit he had used to murder most of them and in the past he had been able to gain the animatronics trust by pretending to be Bonnie not a human so we thought maybe this would work now too he got into the suit pleased by his own genius and then the mechanism holding back the spring locks snapped the suit was old it had gotten wet hadn't been used in a long time and he had just rushed to put it on the suit stabbed crushed and mutilated his body just as he had done to Cassidy although those years ago he was left to die hunched over on the floor Cassidy relayed the story to Henry who rushed to the building to see if it was true he saw the mass of William's corpse Tangled in the suit and knew that this was a fate befitting such a monster killing him and destroying his Remnant would be a mercy and now Henry no longer cared about stopping William he could focus solely on freeing the spirits he had Fazbear entertainment bored up the room with William still inside and went back to making his games when the third iteration of Freddy's finally launched they had to salvage what William had left of the old animatronics they made new casings and created the new Freddy's characters for several years phon guy acted as the nighttime security guard until it came time for him to retire toward the end of 1992 Mike had of course searched the restaurant during the day and found nothing he knew they really only became active at night but had no way of being in the building after hours he resigned himself to giving up on his quest his trail of breadcrumbs doing nothing to help Cece and having no idea where his father went that was until phon guy retired in November of 92 and the nighttime security guard job opened up again Mike immediately applied changing his last name to Schmidt to hide his association with his criminal father little did he know but foni had been killed on his last shift one day away from retirement Mike worked at Freddy's for several days feeling the place out until something happened that changed him forever the fredbear spring lock suit appeared to him almost as a hallucination posters on the walls in the sign outside Pirate Cove would sometimes change to the text it's me Mike realized that this vision of fredbear was Cece trying to communicate he had regained Ed enough of his memory to recognize Mike and was trying to find him Mike immediately volunteered to work overtime even after finding out funy had died and used these last days to investigate the animatronics until he was found out again by the company and fired again the location closed down a month later and the animatronics scattered to the wind being sold off lost destroyed or simply forgotten about Mike had failed his task it had been 9 years since he had accidentally gotten his brother killed and he had lost his last chance to help him Cassidy meanwhile was on a quest of her own she was finding the other spirits in their animatronic forms digitally uniting them speaking to them working on a way to combine all of their memories and getting them all together to finally finally give cece one happy day to remember everything and to allow himself to move on on they were almost there time of course was little matter to Cassidy or any of the spirits who were not bound to reality the same way that the others were 20 years passed and the world moved on from the murders and disappearances at the Freddy's locations Fazbear entertainment had become a thing of the past all the while casted was learning about that past Henry was experimenting with robotics circuit boards and Remnant and Mike was beating himself up over failing to achieve his most crucial life goal then in 2015 Freddy fazbears came back in a big way a small horror attraction gained the rights to the Fazbear name and trademarks and planned to open a fun house named Fazbear's frights it would be stocked with as much memorabilia as they could Salvage along with original arcade cabinets animatronic pieces and an authentic take security office they needed a real security guard to watch the place but also wanted him to be part of the show playing the role of the Freddy security guard the night guard at Fazbear's frights would have the inverse role of the Night Guard at a real Freddy's night time would be when people were visiting the horror attraction and so the guard's job would be to make sure people weren't taking or breaking anything when this position opened up after so many years Mike leapt at the opportunity to investigate Freddy's again bringing all those Freddy artifacts together might help him communicate again with the lost souls Mike was brought on and hired before the location opened for the first few days he acted as an actual security guard just monitoring the empty building one of the props the company had crafted was an activity book themed around the classic animatronics Mike bored in the empty office flipped through the book jotting down notes jokes and sketching out small cartoons he didn't notice that the text of the book was changing just like the posters and signs from the old Freddy's locations indicating the presence of a strong spiritual Force indicating the presence of fredbear of Cassidy and his brother CeCe being back in at Freddy's location brought back unwanted thoughts and feelings that he had been repressing for many years he tried to tell himself that Cece's death wasn't his fault but he knew deep down he didn't believe that he started having nightmares about the way William tested his technology on on him as a kid these culminated in a dream about an animatronic that looked like a grotesque fredbear but had a mouth in its stomach mimicking both animatronics that had killed his siblings the owners and operators of Fazbear frights were on a mission to recover lost Freddy's artifacts and while they thought that they had cleared out the old restaurant of everything it contained they found out that there was actually a secret boarded up room the Freight's crew broke through the false wall that had been built to hide the safe room and finally after several decades William Aton was free or more accurately springtrap was free much like baby before him William was partially Bound by the confines of the animatronics suits artificial intelligence when spring Bonnie was in suit mode it was just a costume being worn by a performer when it was in animatronic mode it was programmed to follow the sound of children so it would always be in in the main party area William had been killed when the suit's animatronic mode was activated meaning he was bound by the AI to follow the sound of children with limited Free Will inside the previously sealed safe room were also some phone guys recordings from back in the days of the first Freddy's location basically anything to do with spring lock suits were tossed back there to hide them from lawyers the operator of Fazbear frights thought it would add to the Ambiance to play these recordings during operation hours not even giving them a listen first with the opening of the attraction still at least a week away the owner contacted Mike to tell him what they had found we found one a real one Mike who had no idea what the fate of his father had been didn't know at first that the animatronic that had been brought into the building contained his father's corpse yearning to be free phone guy's familiar voice played in the office as Mike sat and watched spring Bonnie walk around aimlessly L Mike had a button that could simulate child speech by playing lines from balloon boy voice box in any room he wanted and he used this to continually lure springtrap away from him but as the days passed by and he heard more and more of phone guys messages the picture became very clear the spring lock suits were death traps that Fazbear entertainment tried to sweep under the rug they knew that one had been used in the missing children's incident this suit had been found behind a false wall in the original Freddy's location where Mike had spent a week of his life over 20 years ago suddenly it all made sense his father hadn't vanished starting a new life somewhere having gotten away with his crimes he had been hoist upon his own patard killed by a spring lock suit Trapped At [Music] Freddy's when spring Bonnie got close to Mike's office he could see the Rotting Flesh inside the fur casing he could see his father's skull behind the mask Mike did the only thing he thought sensible to do he lit a match and burned the entire building to the ground he knew it would be blamed on faulty wiring and he ran away with his life watching the building burn thinking there was no way his father would escape this time but Escape he did Henry of course heard about the attraction in the fire but had no idea Mike was involved the parallel path the two had set out on after after their initial argument all those years ago had never crossed again they hadn't communicated hadn't been able to plan together were both working alone toward the same goal the surviving items from fast bear frights were put up for auction and Henry jumped in and scooped them all up after the fire Mike's annotated notebook was also salvaged Untouched by the fire and an almost Supernatural way the new Fazbear entertainment bought it and intended to distribute it to the Next Guard hired at their new location Crossing out and censoring sections about spring lock suits Henry devised a plan to end everything once and for all his decision to leave William roding in his own suit had backfired now he was free he had learned of the existence of Enard from his Communications with Cassidy and of course his daughter was still out there somewhere he built a robot named Lefty which stood for lore encapsulate fuse transport extract it emitted the same signal as Charlie's bracelet which he knew would attract the puppet Lefty would then open and trap the puppet within physically fusing to its body to prevent Escape it would administer small shocks and constantly play the puppet's soothing music box song to keep him docile then it would bring the puppet back to Henry but Henry still had to find the others William was out there baby was out there Molton Freddy was out there and Henry thought of a scheme to bring them all back together in one place he bought the old fredbear's Family Diner building from whoever its last owner had been decades after Henry had last run the place he converted it to a Freddy's location advertising it as the big Freddy's comeback inside he built a Labyrinth of sound and smells of misdirection with no exit a maze a trap endless Circles of fake child laughter and the smells of a Freddy's restaurant luring William Elizabeth and Molton Freddy toward new victims new victims that they would never reach Henry put up a help wanted ad to hire someone to run the building they would run the dayshift buy new equipment schedule parties manage the floor and do some end of night tasks Henry left recorded messages for them teaching them how to salvage old animatronics that might turn up on their doorstep of course he knew Lefty William Elizabeth and Molton Freddy would show their face es and they had to be brought inside and locked away once they had all been gathered Henry would Implement his plan he knew that melting the imprinted metal would destroy Remnant and so he devised a way to ensure that the animatronics would burn and melt and every soul would be free including his daughters he took the remains of the original animatronics and the toys and reconstructed them into Rockstar animatronics he also took the arcade cabinets he had built over the years that had been infused with Remnant and he made sure that they were inside the building too but he didn't count on one thing he discovered after not too long that the man who had applied to run the new Pizzeria was Michael Aton Henry stared at his trap his box and realized he had accomplished more than he had hoped he had gathered together all the aftons himself and his daughter and all that was left of the remnant from the missing children and they were inside a furnace ready to be destroyed Henry waiting inside the building for the Moment of Truth called Mike his voice ringing throughout the building so that every animatronic Every Soul could hear him you have all been called here into a Labyrinth of sounds and smells misdirection and Misfortune a labyrinth with no exit a maze with no prize you don't even realize that you are trapped Your Lust for blood has driven you in Endless circles chasing the cries of children in some unseen chamber always seeming so near yet somehow Out Of Reach but you will never find them none of you will this is where your story ends and to you my Brave volunteer who somehow found this job listing not intended for you although there was a way out planned for you I have a feeling that's not what you want I have a feeling that you are right where you want to be I am remaining as well I am nearby this place will not be remembered and the memory of everything that started this can finally begin to fade away as the agony of every tragedy should and to you monsters trapped in the corridors be still and give up your spirits they don't belong to you for most of you I believe there is peace and perhaps more waiting for you after the Smoke Clears although for one of you the darkest pit of Hell has opened to swallow you whole so don't keep the devil waiting old friend my daughter if you can hear me I knew you would return as well it's in your nature to protect the innocent I'm sorry that on that day the day you were shut out and left to die no one was there to lift you up into their arms the way you lifted others into yours and then what became of you I should have known you wouldn't be content to disappear not my daughter I couldn't save you then so let me save you now it's time to rest for you and for those you have carried in your Arms This Ends for all of us the restaurant burned down destroying everything inside Henry had written a will to make sure that fazbar entertainment would be dissolved upon his death and the entire history of the company beginning with William's jealousy of Henry and the accidental death of CCE all the way to this last desperate sacrifice would be forgotten but Henry forgot one one thing Cassidy was still out there her rage unmatched her hatred Eternal Cassidy refused to let William die he couldn't get off the hook that easily she devised a perfect form of Torment for him making him sit in a room fending off every single threat he had created she trapped The Souls of the children to further torment William even Henry was forced to continue this punishment for William although for Henry he was in his own form of torture his plan had failed the souls had not moved on he was stuck in the same place he had been all those years ago sitting idly by a pond not helping not doing anything but he had learned from his past mistake when Cassidy came to him meeting him for the first time after their years of spiritual communication Henry didn't take on the passive role he had had when Mike came asking for help he told Cassidy what he must do leave the demon to his demons rest your own soul there is nothing else Cassidy had the choice to stay and let William fade away or to symbolically harm herself in order to return to his torment as if guiding her back to him like the sounds of children that guided the animatronics there against their will Cassidy could hear William's screams [Music] [Music] so CH chose the ladder she joined him once again and continued to torment him trapping everyone there against their Wills but Charlie had a plan The Souls of the missing children were finally reunited along with Cece and Charlie they were reunited in the place that looked and felt like a Freddy's location the perfect place for them all to move past their trauma especially CeCe Charlie was finally able to throw CeCe the birthday party he never had they had all been put back together and Cece's fright at the thought of the Freddy's characters the Visage of the bullies who had killed him finally faded he dawned his fredbear mask finally making amends with the character that had killed him and the souls all finally moved on [Music] Cassidy no longer had leverage over William no longer had her unwilling accompli and William finally escaped them heading for death or whatever came next for him but Cassidy still could not move on she had defeated William but she still had to defeat the idea of him Mike Cece and Elizabeth were finally reunited together and whole and while the memory of this family will never and should never fade the agony of their tragedy [Music] has have you ever heard of Among Us Gregory you need to vent of course the story of Freddy Fazbear isn't over after Fazbear entertainment dissolved Fazbear LLC took its place this new company and its Shady CEO hired an indie game developer to make horror games about the legends of Freddy's in order to discredit them as creepy pastas and rumors as well as to now legally own Concepts such as springtrap we know that Fazbear entertainment has developed something of a bad reputation over the last few decades and while it's true that some stories associated with our name were Loosely based on actual events the majority of them were total Fabrications from the mind of a complete lunatic lawsuits pending they then killed this developer and pretended that he was some crazy guy they began construction of a mega Pizza Plex covering the location of the original fredbear Diner circus baby entertainment and Rental and even the old Afton House they released a virtual reality video game started their own animatronic rental service and successfully ran the pizz Plex for many years the good name of Freddy's was safe they had rebooted the concept and given it a glossy coat of paint and we'll end on the high note of hoping that nothing bad ever happens at Freddy's again but that's all for next time fun fact two aspects of this video came to me in dreams midnight motorist being about an MCI kid came to me in a dream I then Googled it and found out that this was actually a very common theory but that's how I came to that conclusion that problem was entirely solved by my subconscious and then the solution to what's in the box also came to me in a dream in my bedroom I have multiple trunks that kind of look like the Box in FNAF 4 and in my dream I got up and I opened the box and inside was a picture frame of like a stereotypical white Suburban family from like a sitcom and when I woke up I was like that's what's in the FNAF box as I hinted throughout this um I don't know how long it's going to end up being but it's currently 141 pages and the audio is over 7 hours long so that's that's great but as I hinted through this extremely long video I do intend to cover the pizza Plex era of the FNAF series Once it concludes and I'll probably make a video about the movie as well I'm going to get to see it a day or two before the general public so if you want my non-spoiler take on that make sure you follow me on Twitter at gior dein I love FNAF and I have ever since it came out I remember I read some headlines about it back in August of 2014 but my first real introduction to it was watching my favorite YouTuber do a live stream of it so I want to give a shout out to any Austin because technically this video would not exist if he didn't not decide to stream Five Nights at Freddy's 9 years ago while I was bored One Night in my dorm room I literally remember typing in the chat saying this isn't scary I don't get it and then Bonnie jump scared the screen and I said what was that I didn't know this was a jump scare game and of course I want to thank every YouTuber whose videos I watched while I was researching this monstrosity now a lot of ideas I put forward in this video are very controversial so I do not want you to go to your favorite FNAF tuber and say you don't believe in molon MCI but Gibby said it was real I don't want to imply that those people agree with my points but I do hope anyone that stuck around this long through the video is now interested in the topic and will go and check these people's channels out there are multiple channels that are phenomenal that just cover FNAF lore of course I have to start with Matt Pat the originator of the entire internet subculture that is the funny bear jump scare game but it's not just Matt over on their team who does the research and the writing and the editing he has a whole group of people so not just Matt Pat but the entire game theory team on top of him I want to thank everybody whose channels I have listed in the description funf ID's fantasy ozone R toast and sire [ __ ] as well as my personal favorites not real name not at all and impulse 737 I would especially like to thank my patrons who have stuck by me for the last 5 months of me not uploading any content so thank you so Sophie Lauren just that spark am hidden Tanner mol man Jinx Jose snarly whirly and blue [ __ ] and thank you for watching if you like this video please subscribe I cover a lot of random topics in as much depth as I can make sure to be nice to each other in the comments consider supporting creators you admire and never lose sight of the things that are important to you [Music] congratulations you've completed a single Five Nights at Freddy's video and you've done it in such a lackluster way that no one is proud or disappointed it's a fine line to walk but you did it completing your video with such an efficient level of laziness that we're surprised that you're able to dress yourself in the morning while such a minimalist work ethic is rare it doesn't mean that we want you on the team in fact fact it means that you should look for employment elsewhere you should be proud you stood on two feet and convinced someone that you could do something when in fact you couldn't now get out
