anyone else into FNAF?

I haven't really played the games myself, but I remember being into the lore, and delving into theories online. (maybe that's kind of weird but I couldn't really handle the playing the game, and yet I was still intrigued with the story so I did a lot of research on it and watched videos about it >.>)

Markiplier's lets plays were the shit btw.

This was me...

I'm going to be completely honest, I was always too chicken to play the games (I played the VR game though which terrified the shit out of me which is a story for another time lol)

But I thought that the lore was very interesting. It's really dark...and I remember being afraid mostly of the Purple Guy. I had nightmares about him even more than I did for the animatronics...

I think that apparently you played him in Sister's Location (the worker) or something and at the end of every day, the citizens were cheering that he finished his day and he started changing and people started hiding so...

Just look at this transformation

I loooved Markiplier's gameplay of FNAF. The musical he was in was interesting to watch from beginning to end too.

I enjoy the franchise but I still don't understand why there is no concrete LORE yet

Quote from ViWinters

what do you mean no concrete lore i-

like for example security breach as far as I know have 5+ endings?

and the theories are not actually "concrete" they are good and possibly right in some way I would still rather hear it from the actual source though

Quote from ViWinters

the lore is concrete, the canonicity of the lore and the endings is what's up in the air. it's suspected that three of the six endings are real/canon but not confirmed. Scott has also confirmed some lore from time to time on steam and reddit forums.

I guess it is because I would like to know entirely lmao

Yes! I’ve played all the main games and have been playing Security Breach! I played a little bit of the mobile game.(FNAF AR)I was able to friend Markiplier when made his qr code public in FNAF AR which was pretty cool. (When he was trying to get as many people as possible to send animatronics to him)

Oh it definitely is! FNAF 6 was so good. It’s so crazy to see how far the games have come. I remember playing the first one when it came out. We went from being stuck in one security office opening and closing doors to a gorgeous open world.

I mean the glitches/bugs aside Security Breach is a great game.

No, I don't like scary stuff, I remember I even disliked playing Slenderman

Quote from ViWinters

I GET GOOSEBUMPS EVERYTIME OMGGGGGG. THE CONFIRMATION THAT HENRY'S DAUGHTER IS THE PUPPET AND WILLIAM KILLED HER AND JUST WOW OH WOW AND THE LINE "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."

many clowned on FNAF World but it had lots of interesting info in it and i really loved Old Man Consequences. Scott's ability to create deep, in-depth, secret characters is truly a craft that remains to be expertly replicated

haven't finished Security Breach yet but i've peeked at the six endings and some of them definitely spark conversation. many are coming to the conclusion that at most half of them are *possibly* canon.

I thought FNAF World was really cute! I loved the little character designs. It had the spooky element to it. It definitely wasn’t what I was expecting but I still enjoyed playing it. And I mean it ended up being made free.

I mean look at em. So cute

Ultimate Custom night was crazy to play too! Lots of lore dropped through the voice lines and the old man consequences bit. I loved the voice acting in it. Sister Location too. Baby’s voice always had a bit of an eerie feeling to it.

Yeah I’ve already seen the endings despite still playing it myself lol. I binge watched FusionZGamers videos because he dropped tons of them the night of release. He’s pumped out a lot of content very fast.

Yo Vi (and everyone else interested) this subforum got brought back

Gaming

I don't play but I highly enjoy watching others play and the community struggling to find out the lore. I want to actually play the new game but I'll wait till a lot of the optimization and bugs are fixed up

I just know what fnaf stands for but I know nothing about it

Idk who Freddy even is

Quote from ViWinters

idk if you've seen it but there's a portion of the game where you can kill an animatronic in order to get upgrades for Freddy and they're all borderline sociopathic but Chica's is straight up horrifying... like.... that cutscene and its audio just supplied me with a decade's worth of nightmare fuel

Display Spoiler

and lore material bc a couple of year ago, Scott emphasized the importance of Toy Chica losing her beak once she left the stage in FNAF 2 but never explained it- and then in this game we just randomly have the option to kill Glamrock Chica and take her beak + voice box...

also i am adoring the fuck out of the 3 star ending/"Hero" ending where Vanny is saved and all three eat ice cream

the 2 star/Ending #2/"Destruction" ending is fucking disturbing considering Vanny is a human and Gregory orders the staff bots disassemble her (without knowing she's human of course but still) but the 1 Star/"Sad" ending is easily the worst bc Freddy was so sweet and he did NOT deserve to be torn apart.

i'm banking on most people discussing the 2 Star/"True" ending since it ties in the most to the Afton/Purple Guy lore and of course we get to see Springtrap get destroyed and totally "killed" (as if he won't come back AGAIN )

everyone already knew about the 2 star/Ending #4/"Unmasked" ending so that shit is NOT new... but apparently it is for some people? i cannot believe people actually didn't know Vanny was Vanessa like... we've known for over a year? do y'all not watch Game Theory? and even then, how do y'all not notice name similarity?

there are two other endings but they're "eh" to me. it's fascinating to me how in less than two days, everyone has unraveled this game. to be fair it's not complete (thank god) and i hope we get updates + DLC.

can you tell i'm obsessed with this series? i've counted disappearing paper plates, read the books, brightened images, and spent unimaginable time on this series like i am in DEEP

thank you for coming to my Ted talk

i forget where in Security Breach, but Freddy mentions that there "used to be a bunny here, but not anymore" (paraphrasing), so i find that really interesting. of all of main characters, i think Bonnie is the most mysterious. he was mysteriously absent for Sister Location unless you count the hand-puppet. he's also the closest to Springtrap and the only animatronic who did not have a jumpscare in FNAF 3.

there were two major Shadow Bonnie easter eggs in FNAF 2 that were carried on to FNAF 3 in the minigames where you had to type 395248 (the hex code for the color purple btw) into the wall in order to play the minigames for the good ending. i always found him very fascinating as a character because even in 8-bit form he was scary and it was obvious it was possible he was around during the time when it was just Golden Freddy and Golden Bonnie (shown through the minigames he glitches through) but something went horribly wrong.

Shadow Bonnie is also shown in Security Breach next to all of the cardboard cutouts, (i believe one of them is Ennard) but Shadow Bonnie is the furthest back.

something i still cannot believe is that we were handed the explanation for Baby's "prototype" blue-print revealed in Sister Location. if you read the books (or watch MatPats videos) it's revealed that Baby has the ability to completely morph into a human, absolutely indistinguishable from an actual human, using pins in her arms. her backstory in the books makes no sense when you take the games into account, so i'm assuming she was already evil/possessed when she snatched the daughter in the Sister Location minigame. anyways, if you look at her blueprint, voila! this whole time there were pins in her arms!

another thing handed to us were the weird disks also shown on all of the new animatronics in the blueprints- and it's later revealed in the books that these are "illusion disks" that alter people's perception of the real world- so if you were standing in front of a decrepit pizzeria but you were near an animatronic with an illusion disk, you would see a brand new shiny pizzeria. the only sign that you're actually being affected by one is if you're nauseated but otherwise, you would never know.

but i digress. the issue i think there is- is that while Scott wrote the books to help the franchise along lore-wise, i don't believe everything written there can be true. it's important to remember that while Scott loves lore and mysteries (you remember the dreaded "box" that actually has human remains in it?), he would still make it simple enough to solve without the books. and way too many people are taking ALL of the book characters and running with them.

the only thing truly plausible and helpful taken from the books is what i mentioned above + Ennard's origin story + some of this https://fnaf-the-novel.fandom.com/wiki/The_Missing_Children otherwise i think they're two completely different entities. the only similarities should be what happened between the Afton Family and the Emily family. people have been complicating everything and the fact that Security Breach takes a step away from that while still continuing the storyline is confusing a lot of people.

not me going off on a tangent

Roxy was always self-centered from the beginning of the game so it's interesting to witness what happens when she's destroyed for sure. it is the saddest though imo.

Damn I only remember FNAF from when it first got popular,I didn't even know they made so many instalments

Tbh I never really got into it,it just seemed like typical jumpscare horror to me,but from what you guys are saying I guess it does get more intricate than that.

i'm gonna admit something i've never admitted to anyone. after FNAF 3 my little young self emailed him begging him to continue the series BC I RLLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE END (i mean to be fair the Good Ending entailed of the spirits being set free while playing the calming music soooooo OBVIOUSLY i'm the reason the series continued )

ANYWAYS

the community has gotten out of control at times which is why i was super heartbroken yet not surprised when Scott stepped back and he announced that he was retiring. it also explains why this game feels super incomplete and very inconsistent from what the trailers gave us, unlike past games which have had Scott's full involvement all the way through. the trailer had Vanessa trying to help us, not being annoyed at us and locking us in the Lost & Found. there were pleasant surprises such as *MUUUUUSSICCCC MANNNN* and the segment where there were Weeping Angels-esque endoskeletons coming after you- even Mark himself said that segment was what he wanted to see in this game.

also regarding FNAF 4 yeah many were angry about the sound aspect and rightfully so, the animatronic breathing was like trying to hear a fly breathing- not gonna happen. one of its upsides though (to a fault) was the inclusion of the bite. it TOOK FOUR GAMES TO GET THERE! and even then we didn't have a full explanation because if you went through the easter eggs you would notice that the game took place in 1983... meaning there's either two bites, the phone guy lied, or the phone guy was misinformed. this whole time the games set up Foxy to be the culprit (it's possible he is if there were two bite incidents) but in reality it was Golden Freddy (which is presumedly how he retired and how he got an angry spirit inside him in the first place). also the occasional appearance of flowers on the bedside table... we can't say we aren't provided hints that this kid is stuck in a nightmare dream sequence in the hospital after the bite. and then the sad "i will put you back together" at the end and the flatline when he dies. it's all very interesting and i believe one day we may get an explanation.

also loved the twist of the entire Sister Location facility being located under the FNAF 4 house... fucking epic.

to my knowledge Ennard scooped Baby (and the rest of them) and took her voice box, which is why we never saw her and it was Ennard commandeering us the whole time. honestly after each game it felt like he thought it was gonna fail so it was gonna be the last but it kept going which meant the lore expanded until it became way too massive. either way, i'm gonna miss the fire and the passion that was put in the games.

random and slightly off topic but Midnight Motorist was a hidden lore GEM and was what the community needed. sadly most fans skipped over the Pizzeria Simulator and forgot it was FNAF 6/an actual game. yes, it is confusing that William Afton/"Purple guy" is orange in the mini game, and i don't think we'll ever know why- BUT his car is purple and it is for sure on the same night after he killed Charlotte Emily (Henry's daughter) because in the game files it's called "Later that night". idk if you've seen the minigame but it explains why he put a camera in the Fredbear plush given to his youngest son (bite victim/crying child)- because his son used to run away from home. more info here- https://antagonists.fandom.com/wiki/Orange_Guy

to make that family even worse, Afton's oldest son (hopefully unintentionally) killed his youngest son by hurling him into Golden Freddy's mouth... yikers. and the "certain features" that the guy was inquiring Afton about at the beginning of Sister Location were those pins, illusion discs, and the hollowed out insides for snatching children.

also Ultimate Custom Night is underrated. like that entire game is William Afton being sent to his own personal "Hell" after killing "the one he should not have killed". dude tries to fend off the animatronics and dies to them and it repeats for the rest of eternity. fitting for a child killer.

i'm still working out the logistics of how this happened:

Fnaf 4: Afton is depicted as purple and is helping someone into a Golden Bonnie suit

Fnaf 2: Afton was the nightguard before us (Jeremy Fitzgerald) and is responsible for all the animatronics' hostility

Sister Location: Depict a guy turning purple, never confirmed to be Afton, his daughter got scooped by Baby and her soul is now trapped in Baby

Fnaf 3: Afton-> Springtrap

FF Pizzaeria Simulator: Springtrap-> Scraptrap

Ultimate Custom Night: Scraptrap-> William Afton

Help Wanted: William Afton-> Glitchtrap (digital version of William Afton)

Security Breach: Glitchtrap-> Controlling Vanny suit but also controls "Burntrap" at the very end of the game

no one knows how the fuck Glitchtrap left his body for VR and re-entered it to control Burntrap in Security Breach but here we are. they could've just made one variant of Springtrap and that would be less confusing but instead he had to "die" in a fire (that song slaps btw) and survive a bunch of other shit meaning there's a zillion different iterations of him which i KNOW this is not what Scott wanted unless this is some artistic choice and this whole time it's been regular old Springtrap (which i doubt).

anyways, the running theory is that Vanny built Burntrap using pieces of Glamrock Bonnie (if you look at Burntrap's character model, you'll see it) and original pieces of Springtrap (makes sense) and other parts she could find in the huge amalgamation part of the game- then again this theory exists because of a note in the game saying Glamrock Bonnie entered the raceway and possibly a sinkhole and that's why he disappeared.

and why did they have to introduce the concept of "remnant". NO.

Fruity Maze omg the backstory of William Afton luring Susie away with a lie that her puppy was still alive after it was hit by a car? and now she's Funtime Foxy. messed up omg. and the tears in her eyes and the way the entire board changes, that shit was so genius yet so scary.

some of Candy Cadet's stories were so gruesome and then it would end with the flashing "Game Win!" and airhorns like

he kinda reminds me of Old Man Consequences (FNAF World) bc they both seem to possess knowledge and wisdom but never share it in any kind of direct way.

i'm still having issues understanding the "Amalgamation" and how it is any different from the "Blob" at the end of Security Breach (which is estimated to be the same size if not BIGGER than Music Man) https://freddy-fazbears-pizza.fandom.com/wiki/The_Blob
