The entire FNAF lore is being held together with duct tape by this point

FNaF 1: Crazy employee killed children and hid them in the animatronics Modern FNaF: Kids can't walk five feet without something relating to Fazbear Entertainment killing them

I miss the days where Fnaf's story was just chalked up to "The deceased souls of children possessing animatronic characters coming to get you"

I love how 90% of us all thought Matpat had gone insane when he tried saying Gregory is Patient 46, but now it's confirmed he is Patient 46 edit: geez, was not expecting this to get over a thousand likes

Matpat and his fan base casually watching the internet slowly find out his crazy theories were right all along.

You cannot tell me that Steel Wool designed Gregory as a teenager in high school. He literally looks like he’s maybe 10, 12 at the most.

The fact that theres a remote possibility of Faz Goo being canon is literally unnaceptable

Following Fnaf's evolution is like watching someone slowly becoming more and more mentally insane

I think Scott really wants to come back to his older series, but being stuck to FNAF is what’s hurting it. I rather he work on his indie games then make more FNAF game

Game Theory: Post-UCN games are actually still William suffering in a glitchy purgatory of lazy writing.

The books were always a bad idea for a series where the lore was a huge part of what popularized it. As soon as you introduce more minds to contribute to your world, you give up that which gives people trust in the story: a vision. That's what FNaF no longer has. A unified vision. When Scott was the only one in charge, there was an unspoken trust that, even if it wasn't always consistent, the story was progressing to an end point that would eventually make sense. Because Scott had the answers in his own mind. Now, the story is split between Scott's original series, the creative heads at Steel Wool, AND at least 3 different authors, with seemingly minimal communication between them. Scott himself has confirmed as much. He has opened the franchise up so that others have control over what happens, what characters are made, and where the series goes. He may request certain plot threads to be included, but the fact that he has given up total control in this fashion means he has given up any real consistency that *may* have existed prior. The series lost what made the story so fascinating to begin with. Consistency, and the promise of a vision.

"Apparently, the Glitchtrap virus was introduced to the Pizzaplex by means of a flamboyant white tiger animatronic whose disembodied head was used by Fazbear Entertainment as an AI story generator, that was for some reason plugged into every single attraction in the Pizzaplex. What?" Is quite honestly one of the funniest quotes I have ever heard in my life.

if the fazebear fright stories are canon, if even one of them are, the entire planet must be in at least one kind of apocalypse or dystopia because jesus christ the technology shown in the stories is comically advanced and malicious

I'm not ready for Mpreg Matpat to be canon.

I've loved FNAF since sixth grade when my edgy little self was first getting into horror. It was legitimately one of the first pieces of horror media I ever consumed. It's so frustrating to watch it all fall apart like this.

SB was really just the culmination of all the lore problems from the books jumbled up into an abomination of that game. Scott really should've been more careful with who he was really hiring for his work in retrospect. Instead of focusing on the marketing aspect of the franchise, it could've been done out of love and respect to the fans who've cared about the lore and characters they've been a fan of for as long as they can remember.

I agree. Scott is so scared of going back to that cash register though. FNAF makes him money, he’s scared the world will reject anything else he does. I’m glad you weren’t harsh on Scott the person in this, because I understand where he’s coming from, but ultimately I agree he needs to separate the timelines out, and put a pin in them while he goes and takes a vacation with his family.

Remember when people loved FNAF's story in the first place back in 2014 was because it was about a Chuck-e-Cheese-like restaurant with creepy uncanny animatronics with a feeling of mysterious urban legend with horrific yet believable events? Yeah me too...

Areas that aren't in SB can be easily explained. By the time SB comes around, the Pizzaplex has probably been open for years. Things could have changed. However, there's some contradictions in Fazbear Frights. For example, William still has his left arm while in the hospital. You can't chalk up everything into a "minor retcon".

I think the books being in an alternate, but similar universe solve the issue with trying to put them together. It's a reference, not a Canon element, it just shows us what's cannon in the world, as in what's possible, rather then trying to place itself into the timeline as a story. It's more of a help sheet what could help us making some sense out of the things in the game timeline.

Why can’t the Fazbear Frights books be like Help Wanted, making light of true events (like you mentioned) but changing a great amount of the information to lighten it up and make the legends seem absurd so no one looks into them. Elanor could then be a bastardization of Elizabeth and scrap baby

I like how he didn't mention the time-traveling ball pit from the first Fazbear Frights book. To be honest, I think it would've gone wonderfully along with the soul-stealing mini Freddies and Faz-goo.

TLDR; FNAF needs a full remake. A complete overhaul. This is... this is too much.

Thank you, finally someone understands why connecting two seperate timelines is the worst idea you can do to a plot

Calling all video editors. I am currently looking recruit some new people to help me edit for this channel! One needs to be very familiar with Fnaf and its lore and history, and to be able to imitate or expand upon the "Darksynth/VHS" style of this channel. This can be a paid position, although unfortunately, at only 3k subscribers and 3 real videos, (only two of which are monetized) I wouldn't be to afford paying all THAT much for each video at current. If you are interested, leave a comment down below AND shoot me an email at docileraptorinfo@gmail.com with some examples of your work! Also, sorry if my Infographics were a little confusing: I never meant that the Classic fnaf games were not canon(that's why they are a sub-section of the SB timeline). I was just referring to the in-universe fnaf games present in the SB universe made by Steve

I wished they tried more to have the books fill in fnaf plot holes more or have them show unseen events

Remember when the biggest mystery in this series was who did the bite of ‘87? Good times.

Funky Dave's theme when the story just started DISINTEGRATING INTO NONSENSE floored me, nice work

man the story was already a mess but after Security Breach and its books came out it just took it to another level of insanity... the only way to fix the timeline is just to remake every game and end the timeline at UCN, because if they are going to remake Help wanted and SB they better do it right because it is clear as day that scott doesnt seem to care anymore

EDIT: Well, this video aged like fine wine now didn't it? Did I just put funky music over my favorite franchise melting before my very eyes? Yes, yes I did. If I am wrong about my theory, I'll throw a 24 hour livestream party to celebrate. Reply with an "Aye" if you are interested

This video is more true now because B-27 just said the Nightmares are not real or illusion disc creations but they are made of fear gas. Also says we don’t play as Crying Child or Micheal but we play as a bunch of kidnapped kids.

The interpretation of the MCI in Fazbear Frights makes it pretty much impossible for them to be connected to the games. Also the Puppet is in The Blob while in Fazbear Frights she sunk to the bottom of a lake along with Afton and drowned. Also Fazbear Frights's Afton has two arms while Scraptrap doesn't

My biggest problem with frights fitting into the game line is the man in room 1280,and it's implications. Not even Andrew, but the fact that afton doesn't match up with the body in scrap trap at all (he is not missing an arm), and the fact that there was nobody to keep him alive in a lake, drained of all his power.

seriously, how did the fnaf story go from a simple story about a line of child murders to whatever this is

I love how when you start listing all the insanity that should now be considered canon you start playing versions of Dave's theme from DSAF, who is arguably the most insane character created in any fangame yet.

This video successfully fried my brain, I haven’t even heard about most of the pizzaplex stories up until this point until now. To be honest, the books (especially if they are canon) REALLY make the already overly complicated lore even more difficult to understand and that is the level where it just hurts to think about. Really good video btw!

Considering we will have the books continue to release until October, it's entirely possible that all the books have already been written and Scott really is taking a break. The stories aren't all that long, so it wouldn't surprise me if he wrote the main plots and got them edited/contributed to quite early on.

"a massive franchise that will far outlive him" not at this rate lol also the weirdest part is that he's done sci-fi well in the past so everything in modern fnaf being so janky is just weird

At this point I've just decided that I'm only going to consider the first 6 games are the only canon. I've gotten sick of the books, in my world remnant doesn't exist and the animitronics are inhabited by dead child corpses.

Man, Scott really went back to his sci-fi roots because he didn't like how the horror series he made was so beloved

24:55 *sniff* *sniff* hm, that's strange, it smells like spoiled milk over here... wonder why...

First off, really nice video. The production makes this a super good watch. Second, what a revelation. Gregory being Patient 46 just straight up confirmed is so bizarre, but an interesting direction.

IMO the books should always have been treated as what they are: merch. The Silver Eye trilogy was a slog, but the Fazbear Frights were fun goofy little what-if scenarios, and I think they could even be used to confirm things in the games. MatPat talked about them describing a canon rather than a continuity - e.g. telling you what's possible in the game's universe, rather than telling you things that have actually happened in it. Insisting on continuity means that "1:35am" has to happen in a universe where Springtrap M-Preg and Fazgoo are a Thing, and why would anyone want that?

The books make me so confused sometimes. I mean I know some of its canon and then it also isn’t, but…I wish it filled questions we had about the lore and like you said, these new books make it so confusing.

The book is literally written by a bunch of crackhead voices inside Scott's mind.

If FNAF lore remained as "angery of ded children fuel spooky robots to kill a funne man" that would be cool, but instead we're one step away form introducing an eldritch bunny god

I really want the story of FNAF to start over. At this point in 2023, the FNAF timeline is so over-complex, extremely convoluted, really hard to follow, and not fun anymore to solve. FNAF should start over, from ground zero. There are many solutions to this. Please tell me your solutions if you have any.

Sister Location is what started pushing the lore off the deep end and you can not change my mind. Like, what are we basing the “Mrs Afton is Ballora” theory on?

I think given that Security Breach had some obvious points in the unused files that show that the story was going to be different from the one we got in the end, it seems like Scott actually had a good thing going but then when the controversy hit, Steel Wool took over the writing, changed it up so that it wouldn't be what the community had all predicted already, and we ended up with the mess that we have now.

I just really, really miss when the games were mostly supernatural and there was minimal tech involved. Like, remember in FNAF 2 when there were animatronics that were possessed, and animatronics that just had a malfunctioning AI? I miss that.

I personally feel like the franchise started going downhill after the fourth game (at least in terms of story since it started to focus more on sci-fi which Scott has admitted) and the books didn't help at all. I liked the silver eyes, at least it had more to do with the animatronics being haunted than whatever started going afterwards with the whole Charlie is s robot, William mad scientist, remnant and illusion discs that I just hate since now anything happens in a game it can just be explained with: "well, it's using an illusion disc" Or "this character it's a robot". I feel like Scott wanted to tie all the missing links but over explained a lot of things that could be easily left alone like why the animatronics are haunted with the whole remnant or why William decided to start killing kids to make experiments. Fazbear frights are my least favorite books by far, you do get a decent story from time to time, but most of them are the same thing with people losing their bodies or becoming robots and now Fazbear Inc from a small pizzeria became a multimillion company or something because they have science kits, game studios or anything at this point considering they just slap the name of the corporation or character to make it FNAF related when you could easily remove it and the story would still feel the same.

Alternate universe magical orb? Organ stealing pink sauce!? William dying AGAIN after he freaking burned!? WHY? I'd rather be a victim of William Afton, then accept this as cannon!

The tech and spiritual development in the fnaf universe is insane 😂 Bro these stories should be happening on other planets if the tech is wild like that

The books were a bad idea. The Silver Eyes was the only novel I liked and the Survival Logbook was fun to work on. But everything else in FNaF when it comes ti the books just got increasingly silly. Fazgoo, human animatronic hybrids etc. This series went from supernatural horror to sci fi horror since Sister Location. Again I like both of those horror generes, but for a series originally about vengeful spirits possesing anamotronics, the tonal shift really hurt the franchise.

This is why my head cannon ends with ucn. Everything else is just a what if or like an alternate universe, and I’m gonna keep it that way because it keeps me from going insane.

1. The Marionette mask was found in "Fazbear Frights" even though the maze was clearly hidden away, since Vanny needed Freddy to bust a way in. The hole isn't there in "Tales From The Pizzaplex", so it wasn't the cops. 2. Freddy was possessed right when he broke into the ruins of "Freddy Fazbear Pizza Place" maze. He calls Blob his friends, meaning he has to be Evan or Charlotte. If Stitchlinegames were true, it can't be either, because the cops took everything as evidence, so their souls would follow their vessels like Charlotte. 3. Afton has both arms in "The Man In Room 1280". 4. "Into The Pit" shows 6 Missing Children's incident" kids. If this is just showing all of Afton's murder victims, then there would be A LOT more. If it's showing the important victims, Charlotte would be included. That means that if Andrew is one of them, he would have to replace someone, like Cassidy. We know he has to be one of them because we see his hair in Golden Freddy in "The New Kid". 5. The Marionette mask would have no reason to be in blob after "Fazbear Frights". William wouldn't want it, and Fazbear Entertainment would have no way of knowing where it was. William wouldn't even want it in Blob, because it would have been what screwed him over when he was the Afton Amalgamation. 6. We see Andrew possessing Golden Freddy in "The New Kid. But when all the suits are destroyed in "FOLLOW ME", we only see 5 kids. 7. Cassidy is with William in "Curse Of Dreadbear", "Special Delivery" and "Security Breach". That can't be the case if Stitchlinegames is true, because she would be in Blob. 8. The conversation between Princess Cassidy and the Old Man in "Security Breach" is basically the same as the once between Vengeful Spirit and Old Man Consequences in "Ultimate Custom Night". Old Man Consequences tells Vengeful Spirit to rest, they ignore him and continue what they were doing. Old Man tells Cassidy to rest, she ignores him and continues what she was going. 9. We get a reference to Chica's line in "Ultimate Custom Night" about being the first and seeing everything in Princess Quest, connecting Cassidy to UCN. 10. "Curse Of Dreadbear" only has 8 graves surrounding William. Evan would have one because the game is shown to tie back to him. Elizabeth would get one because she is Evan's sister, was shown to exist in FNAF 4 (which "Curse Of Dreadbear" also ties into), and is an Afton (which, Curse Of Dreadbear" also ties back to). The others would be Evan's friends, Charlotte and the 5 "Missing Children's Incident" kids. 11. While "Ultimate Custom Night" does show a 7th kid, it's most likely Evan, since FNAF World also has Evan as kid #7, separated from the murder victims and William. Foxy's episode being skipped over would just be because that one kid wouldn't have been a murder, so they skip to the actual murders. 12. Funtime Freddy doesn't become Ennard in "Fazbear Frights". While I did used to think he was just a prototype, there is no reason he wouldn't use Counter Freddy. He even says he he like skilling people, meaning he would have been part of "Circus Baby's Pizza World" and/or Circus Baby's Entertainment And Rental". And William kept all the unused Funtimes in "Circus Baby's Entertainment And Renta;", as shown by the Ennard mask, Lolbit, Bonnet and Yenndo. Both Funtime Freddy and Counter Freddy even have the same colors. 13. In "Security Breach", the only collectable plushie for Nightmarionne is hidden behind an Endo mural that has Logbook Cassidy in a FNAF 4 bed. Nightmarionne's only canon appearance is in "Ultimate Customer Night", connecting Cassidy t UCN once again. We know we are meant to pay attention to this mural because it's the only one in the Endo Nursery that has no Endo in it. 14. William needed another entity to keep him around in "Fazbear Frights". Andrew was gone, and Eleanor abandoned him. The Mimic Virus (Glitchtrap) would never become a thing, and HW - Ruin wouldn't happen. 15. Vanny needed Freddy to bust into the "Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place" Maze because William was still in there. Otherwise, there would be no reason. So William wouldn't be in the Hospital like in "Fazbear "Frights". 16. Vanny would have no way of getting Afton's body. He had no next of kin/remaining family members who were with him, so he would have been cremated. 17. Andrew's death doesn't fit anywhere in the games, and is never elaborated on in "Fazbear Frights", despite being a main character. Jake is explained, Larson is explained, but all we know about Andrew is that he was a 6th Missing Children's Incident" kid in the Stitchline who was never implied in any game properly, possessed Stitchline Golden Freddy and eventually attached himself to William. If he simply replaced Cassidy, who most likely did all this in the games, then there wouldn't be much need to explain, because his story would be Cassidy's story. The Novels booted out a "Missing Children's Incident" kid before, so why should Stitchline be any different? Since Stitchlinegames doesn't really work, Frailty either implies that Eleanor is just in more then one timeline like many other characters, or that there is an entity in the Gameline like her. There are hints at a girl who likes Chica living in the Pizzaplex (most likely the girl from RUIN). This girl is also tied to the Staff Bot Silo, since some of her Chica shrines have sticky notes from the Silo. That means that this girl is most likely a robot. And she also seems to have something to do with the Aftons since the Silo has a recreation of them. And if RUIN Girl is this girl, then the fact that she has pigtails, paired with everything else, makes it very possible that this si somehow Elizabeth in a new body. This could somehow have something to do with the Frailty entity.

The FNAF community at this point has turned into a book club

Honestly, in theory I really like the idea of canon books that fill in gaps in the games, like GGY or Help Wanted (emphasis is on "in theory"). And I'm more of a sci-fi/fantasy fan than horror fan, so I don't mind that turn, though I certainly can understand why people who _did_ come to the series for the mystery and horror would feel upset about that. But in practice, there's some... real odd things in there that I don't really want in game continuity... Still, I was very anti-Gregory-as-46 but now that it's happening I'm fine giving it a shot, so I'll wait to see what the actual resolution is for now (truly same continuity? Frights as in-world novels but with some real events Tales will build on? etc).

Wow...this timeline is a mess and I love it anyway! Interesting video!

Game Theory: All this crazy Fazbear technology came from outside of the Earth and was sent by some alien race to conquer the planet or w/e, hence the FNAF 58: Freddy in Space game from FNAF World

I always only thought about the paranormal aspect of Five Nights at Freddy’s games and didn’t look at the sci-fi aspect with FEW exceptions. Emphasis on the “few”. My take on the explanation behind killer robots is just ghosts. And ONLY ghosts. Because why turn a paranormal franchise about some murdered children and undead family into a sci-fi “horror”, known by kids, that has presumably advanced AI as the reoccurring detail and giving the audience so much detail on even the most unnecessary and scattershot THING? You see how confusing and outright *MIND-FUCKING* this franchise’s lore has become, Scott?! If *I* were to make an indie horror game akin to FNAF, I’d make the lore as simple as the first game alone. No, I’m DEAD serious.

The thing that really gets me here is that the books being 100% canon for the current game timeline means that they're REQUIRED material for everyone who even so much as looks FNAF'S way for anything to make sense period Which won't happen when more than half the fandom even now is full of small children who don't have hundrends of dollars to spend on dozens of graphic novels The same books that don't actually have a cohesive storyline in the first place and don't make the plot make more sense

I think he ended the story after FNAF UCN and decide now to make everything like he wanted, it's like some bonus things, but the story was ended after the fnaf 6 burning

Atleast the mimic being canon means springtrap is canonically dead and not coming back

Scott is very likely what we in the writing circles call a "pantser", meaning he writes a story largely from the seat of his pants rather than having everything planned out start to finish. Singular highly-detailed decade-long stories aren't a pantser's specialty. Pantsers specialize in shorter stories, stand-alones, and formulaic stories. So the longer a pantser's single longform story goes on, the more holes start to appear. Thus, something like this happening is, unfortunately, par for the course and even expected...it'd certainly be nice to see Scott break off into something else, I think he'd do well if he were to craft something new that had no pressure or expectations to its name.

I don't know if it's just the state I was in while watching this, but holy crap, this is twisted beyond comprehension.

my solution on how to fix the fnaf lore: >scott takes a good break >remaster all the older games so he can rewrite the whole story so its not dumb while still feeling like the fnaf1-3 era (help wanted 2 might be able to cover the rewrite for help wanted) >pretend secruity breach didnt happen unless steel wool wants to make a massive update and make the game the way it was originally intended to be (or at least lessen the scope so its less crazy) >rewrite all (or most) of the books so they are COMPLETLY SEPARATE FROM THE GAMES >for future games dont just use matpats theory to write the story and dont change the story just because the fans dont like it stick to one story so its actually solvable

I'm like 90% sure the books are ghost written and Scott has no input

As much as interesting to see the games and the books connect in a real way I think it's one of the worst ideas you could possibly do for the series cuz it's not really meant to be generous for new fans since if you are a new fan you have several games to deal with however if they are going through with this idea that having it bogged down with two dozen books isn't exactly helping and personally to me the more I think about the fact that it's possible security breach until the pizza Plex are connected the more and more I start thinking about some of the twists that tells of the pizza Plex has which have some of the dumbest implications and storytelling you could possibly imagine

My way of looking at TFTPP and the book universe as a whole is that it's a universe that's *adjacent* to the game verse; it's similar to the games so that it can fill in lore gaps and answer question we have about the games, but is separate enough as to be a sandbox for Scott and his ghost writers to play around in. I feel as if that was the original goal for the books, seeing as FF was described as 'different stories from throughout the FNaF universe' or something like that. Tbh I really don't like the books because they're ground 0 for all the absurd bs that has seeped into FNaF

The chaotic music in the background as Crow lists off the various goofy tales from the novels perfectly exemplifies how nutty the franchise gets at times. Say what you want, but the books are peak in terms of entertainment value.

I think anyone can agree... FNAF is due for a serious reboot! I hope FNAF+ is the one to do that...

Man I would absolutely LOVE a sequel to the desolate hope; I'm even making a game that plans on referencing the derelicts!

So sad that Scott feels like he needs to run the franchise in the ground. He could have stopped the series at Pizza Simulator and the story would be great and I think most of the fans would understand. I hope he didn't continue cuz he just wants the money. I understand money is important but I hope he isn't in this for the money alone.

At this point, I say we should just consider everything released after Pizza Sim as noncanon. There. Most, if not all problems solved, with a satisfying conclusion to top it all off.

honestly your theories are my favourite. I have always thought about these things that you are pointing out and I couldnt agree more! Thank you!!

I think isn’t as big of a deal. Maybe the fan base is that it take the canon of the books more seriously than the one of the game because they come faster than the games. In reality non of the games are really affected by this books I think. The only one affected is SB but that game is unfinished.

It's sad to see what FNAF has become since the beginning. This may be a controversial opinion, but I really dislike Sister Location for adding Sci-Fi to the series, because the books and games have been filled with low-effort unsatisifying stories because of it (Not to say Sister Location is bad, I think it's okay in a vacuum). Gone are the days of children spirits and tragic backstories, now it's all crazy technology and liquid soul juice.

At first I thought this video was onto something. But halfway through, after actually being described what some of the stories were, I just thought this theory was insane. I feel like this is just the spiritual succesor of that "the novels take place in the games" theory.

Honestly, the books have gone from being something meant to be just a way to get answers to small things between the games to being something you'll need to read and its so bad. They weren't meant to be in the same universe. The fnaf universe is a questionable mess, just as bad as Fnaf world but look, if Steel Wool Studios can get things back on track, fnaf may finally get away from the dumpster fire it became I will never take the books as canon with the route their going. 😮‍💨

Here's how to see the fnaf Canon timeline: think of it as OG star wars, before Disney bought it. There was so much to the storyline and universe, believe in your own timeline and Canon. And honestly, it's the same with Fnaf, there is so much in its extended universe just believe in your own timeline

I hope Scott see's this and takes your advice he needs to take a break and do something else.

I stopped taking the books seriously when I found out about the mpreg one lmao

Huh, I wonder what FNAF's up to these days. One video later Oh dear god. It just keeps getting worse.

You know I've been with fnaf since the start. And I really miss the story of the og games, where it was just about vengeful spirits and a murderer.

*cries in Springtrap impreg story becoming in game canon*

The fnaf story ended with custom night and nothing will change my mind

if Cassidy isn't the vengeful spirit, then why does Cassidy exist

Scott really trying to turn FNAF into a Prequel of the Desolate Hope.

I get why several theory channels have started to look at "games only" timelines

I can’t deny, it did open a up more mysteries than give answers, but overall, I love the books. I’m wondering what will happen next in the epilogues, and will the upcoming books give any more answers. I’ll admit they’re confusing, but I still love them.

FNAF lore had stopped to be cannon after UCN. A good story about a father trying to put his family back together... Killing tons of children and throwing them in plushy robots

Hey, cool video so far (sorry, haven't finished watching), but on 3:55 you used fan art, more specifically fan design of Bobbiedots by FireFoop, yet no credit, there's an actual showed illustration by one of the official artists of them, that was shown on the backside of the book, but it's different from the fan one. Please credit her at least in the description (and others if you used more of the fanwork)

Here is my take I enjoyed Fnaf lore up till Help Wanted I think the way they brought Afton back was cool and stuff. Securitby Breach ruined the Lore for me, but the DLC may be able to fix it. All the Fazbear Frights Storys i read so far are coll and i like them. ( If you want to know im at Fazbear Frights 6, because i live in Germany and thats the latest that is finished translating) But while i enjoy these Storys i dont want them in Game except some Parts. Stuff like he Afton Almagomation, but only if it would happen in the games like MatPat predicted in one of his Prediction Viideos when security Brech wasnt released. And i agree that Scott should take a break or let someone he trusts continue writing the lore.

While watching this video I stared to wonder, what if there are still 3 timelines, like the book trilogy, fnaf 1-6 and ff, tales, HW, AR and SB as a third... But then I realised fnaf 6 location is in SB... Yeah, this whole thing looks like it's falling apart. And yeah, like it or not, just embrace that illusion discs are a thing in the 1-6 story and we knew it since SL.

Oh my god I’m a puppeteer and let me tell you, the sudden Rainbow Connection parody at the end took me OUT

Wow, you people are surprised that FNAF is going down the drain? It's done BEEN going down the drain ever since they introduced the concept of remnant and gave William the "immortality" motive. HELL, you can take one step further and say it's been going down the drain ever since SISTER LOCATION, with it having introduced sci-fi into what was originally just Chuck E. Cheese ghost stories (which was the peak of the series). You all are only surprised NOW?? ...Sigh. This is why I just like to pretend the series ended in FNAF 4, and that the Squimpus McGrimpus VHS tapes are canon. You do that, and you have a much more enjoyable viewing experience when going through FNAF. This is coming from somebody who has stuck with FNAF since the 1st game while I was in Elementary school, by the way.

Bro,in my opinion the tales from the pizzaplex books explain what is missing in security breach it confirmed a lot of things, besides they are Better than fazbear frights stories The books are not bad at All,Also yes in the books like tales and frights strange things hapend, more strange than the actuall games Also,the tales from the pizzaplex make security breach way more darker

that ad at the end was absolutely horrendous

I tried explaining this series to my friend who is interested in the lore because she wants to see the movie on account of the special effects being done by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, and I was like: "Okay, but I need to tell you, I HAVE to explain each segment of each game and each story throughly because everything changes whenever a new element is added. There's the story for the first game, the story for the first and the sequel, the story for the trilogy, the story for the quadrilogy, the story for the tightly linked spin offs, the story for the overarching narrative we get introduced in the sixth game, the hidden story of the send off, the hidden story of the soft roboot, the story of the mobile app that bleeds into the latest game, the story of everything now that it was all linked, the story of everyone once Purple Guy became William Afton and kept coming back, the story of how Purple Guy wasn't just an employee, the story when it was just about a nightmare a child was having, the story of how Fazbear Entertainment is actually the worst company ever, the story of freaking Henry, the story of the novel trilogy, the story of the novelas, the story of the next generation of the novelas... And then I need to tell you to disregard all that because none of that actually matters because the games canonically are just urban legends, but actually, they really did happen in-universe and it's all a corporate cover-up, and it's basically simplified as the rotten bunny man is bad and the robots are mostly actually not the bad guys intentionally."
