I find william sending Michael to the basement to do his dirty work too hilarious. It's just such a william thing to do😭

One big issue: we've seen the blueprints of the scooper, and it looks exactly like it does in SL, but nothing like it does in Ruin. Those are blueprints, they're what was used to construct and operate the scooper, so they would be accurate to how it looks. Dittophobia also describes the bunker looking pretty much identical to how it does in Sister Location. This is after Rory escapes the observatory, after the gas systems go offline, after the hallucinations are down. So that's also how the facility itself actually looks.

I was just thinking "wait, it's Friday, shouldn't RyeToast have uploaded a theory?". Then I refreshed the page and this video appeared. Perfection.

“Turns Michael from an IS into a WAS, and then into an AGAIN.”

It was really easy for me personally to ignore the inconsistent design of the animatronics after Five Nights at Freddy's 2, the toy animatronics were incredibly advanced to be placed in 1987, so everything after seemed pretty understandable in comparison.

Now i am wondering if Circus Baby's kidnapping program was originally intended to grab someone for the gas experiments, but either there was a calibration error or Elizabeth was the wrong size or struggled in such a way that the machinery accidentally killed her instead.

**FNAF 1 - 4 was all a dream by a kid in a coma.** _"Upgrade!"_ **Sister Location, William Afton, Sci-fi theme, expansion to the lore.** _"Go back..."_ **The Mimic, games that are either real or not, multiple Novels, Canon and Non Canon endings, alternate timelines and parallels.** *_"GO BACK."_*

While I think there are some aspects that are plausible, I think the design aspect just is what it is. Sister location is so crazy from the designs to the characters to Mike going to a large tentacle monster somehow imbedding itself in a human, exiting without tearing the husk to pieces, and then somehow Mike continuing to exist. I think you just have to accept that this is clearly when Scott wanted to get wacky with the story.

We can talk about FNAF all day, but can we acknowledge how freaking COMFORTABLE RyeToast’s cat was! They be living the DREAM!😂

It feel surreal to me that i've followed this franchise for almost 10 years now. From start to where we are now. Wow.

A theory that is interesting, but that I think has too many holes. - The heads in the Blob. In the Blob there's several heads that seemingly belong to old, burnt, destroyed animatronics. SB's lore implies that some things were stolen from Rockstar Row's museum, which holds quite a bit of old FNAF memorabilia. It's possible that the Blob has some of these heads on him, and if it isn't the case, it would still prove that those heads are the real deal as they're pretty old, this proving that the Circus Baby high tech design is not a fake, but instead a physical thing. - Sister Location's speeches throughout the game. The board member that speaks at the beginning of the game calls these animatronics "Clearly state of the art", which wouldn't make sense if these were all shitty looking suits fooled by leaking hallucinogenic gas (ESPECIALLY when this scene seems to be much earlier on in the construction of Circus Baby's Pizza World, giving it zero chance for leaking gas to exist). - The Blueprints in FFPS: As that game hasn't shown to have an actual VR recreation calling it "fake" (Which who knows, maybe it will in HW2. There are those arcade machines in SB after all), this is still valid. Because we can see the Scooper blueprints in FNAF 6 in the insanity ending, this proves that the Scooper design we see in SL is the real one. - The gas leak is supposed to be a cover-up: When the game released and we all saw that Elizabeth died by Baby, and that the place closed right after that, proves that the place closing due to gas leaks is either a front or something used to get everyone out. - Scott's own comment about SL being super futuristic-looking (More-so on the animatronics than the place itself): At some point, people questioned Scott about why the animatronics were SO advanced to the point where it was ridiculous. His answer was that he didn't mean to make them so sci-fi, and while they're supposed to be advanced, not too much. That's why the other employees mention that they break down so much, or why the conveyor is so loud. This was.. sort of fixed in FFPS where the technology seems to downgrade a lot. In all of this, there isn't actually any proof that there was a gas leak inside Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals, only in Circus Baby's Pizza World. William sending Michael instead of himself is easily explainable with the animatronics being highly aggressive towards Afton and him wanting to get rid of Michael, this way Afton gets everything he wants. The "All of FNAF 4 is hallucinogenic gas" theory is much more plausible than the "FNAF 6 is just SL repurposed" theory. All in all, it's not full nonsense, I just don't think it's the case for the SL bunker outside of the observation rooms.

Sister Location has always been a top FNAF game (I loved the change of formula it had) so I’m so happy we are revisiting it and getting more answers finally

2:14 small criticism. Handunit said this talking about the rental facility. Not Circus Baby's pizza world. And it's obvious the rentals was open after Freddy's closed. So basically, Circus Baby's pizza world could have opened anytime. Or at least the preparations could have. Judging on how Baby said the springlock suit was never used because it was too dangerous, I'd say it was preparing to open before FNAF 4 but opened after FNAF 4

Let’s be honest as time goes on we’ve become more wrong lol

I feel like the whole “Sister Location is one big hallucination” part of the theory is pretty debunkable when you consider the two technicians who went down there with no issues, I do still believe that the gas was being stored at Circus Baby’s Party and Rentals but I don’t at all believe it was actively being pumped into the facility

I’ve always loved Sister Location, despite us never really knowing where it’s supposed to fit. Even with Hand Unit’s dialogue and chatter, it’s a very quiet game compared to the ambience of the previous FNAF games, which I just love.

i really like your perspective on the in universe indie developer. that the plot line isn’t saying him and his games completely discredit all the games we’ve been piecing together for years like a lot of people believe, but that it’s instead scott’s way of explaining away the little inconsistencies of the lore over the years. I really like this theory. i never thought of it that way!

#JusticeForFNAFWorld

I audibly gasped when I realized where you were going with this. Maybe Michael never ended up going home at the end of the day. The television room looks a lot like the SL elevator and handunit looks a lot like the television we watch the Immortal and the Restless on! And maybe there were never two people that hanged themselves; maybe they were sick illusions as well since that is another Sister Location oddity.

Theoretically, if the end of Ruin is indeed the Sister Location location, you should be able to map out the place by starting from the scooping room, and then reverse-engineering baby's directions from the end of SL.

"The indie dev who made them didn't know any better" is a perfect way to explain everything related to FNAF 1-6 lore.

I just like that Scott always wanted to clear up "some major misconception" about Sister Location. He kept hinting at it. The map wasn't enough. Everyone ignored the new levels in Help Wanted, so nobody cared that Funtime Freddy and Baby appeared as Fnaf 4 Night Terrors. Now he just said it outright in a book. Sister Location isn't below the Afton House. Because Fnaf 4 isn't the Afton House. It's a test chamber. (It's likely still below Fredbears though) Though that does make me wonder if the Bite of 83 was even real to begin with? It was never mentioned outside every game outside Fnaf 4. (Btw this is quite literally a question I have: If the Sister Location marks every animatronic in every room, why are there five animatronics in Plushtrap's room?)

there's one flaw in this theory: tangle (aka the blob) from fnaf security breach. it got the masks of baby, ballora, funfox and funtime freddy. thus, sister location can't have been just an illusion.

The hallucination gas being in the bunker could also explain why the technicians offed themselves

"Throwing the baby out with the bath water" was an expression I never knew existed

Crazy how the book you used to build this theory debunks it. Dittophobia has Rory explore the SL facility and guess what? It’s the same as we see in SL. And there’s no gas at this point. It’s all real. Scott just made it more sci fi than normal, something he admitted in the dawko interview

I appreciate a good spitball theory. I honestly think we need more of it, even if doesn’t turn out correct because at the very least it’s a different perspective and may be at least partially true.

i think the gas is actually a metaphor for the sound disks, from the twisted ones. we already know that some animatronics had those disks, so, for me, this just confirms that the nightmare animatronics are the result of the disk's influence.

I actually like this theory a lot, i find it to be more plausible than William having a fully chromed out future bunker and it just hallucinations due to gas leaks. The "carnival" project that's hinted at in Ruin and could be exploring what Circus Baby's and the bunker actually looked like instead of what we see in Sister Location. I've never been the biggest fan of the more sci-fi look of SL so a more "realistic" version is interesting to me.

if the Michael was sent down into the bunker because William was afraid, then who are the people who took Michael out of the springlock suit? and if it’s William, why would Baby call William a cleaner?

So, the Pizzaplex was built on top of the sinked Pizza Place, which is theorized to be Fredbear's, which was on top of the Sister Location bunker, AND connected to the FNaF 4 chambers? Damn, that's a lot

With the way the rabbit hole of this series has gone since the first game came out and knowing Scott retconned the series at one point it really feels like at that point Scott decided that instead of letting people piece it all together the retcon and every other game after the first exist purely to keep the series relevant in the eyes of the masses when all the books and games and small detail that have been added were put in to make FNAF one big wild goose chase convincing the fan base that we still don't actually fully understand the story when In actuality he stopped making a cohesive story some point in the series and now the whole fnaf rabbit hole is just one massive troll to keep people theorizing forever and ever and the only reason we get hints at new things and discuss new things and overanalyzing ever detail of every part of the series is just because if Scott came out and said none of it really mattered then the series would lose it's popularity and he would stopped getting revenue from the series

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The Sister Location animatronics are not super advanced compared to the other animatronics in the timeline. Every other animatronic has a very compact design, lacking the many pneumatic pumps and wires that a real world animatronic would have. The Sister Location animatronics more closely resemble real world endoskeletons. If you showed an imagineer Endo-01 or Endo-02, and told them that they had full range of motion and could walk easily, they'd flip. Because that's insane.

For more proof of it being the sister location bunker in RUIN; the burntrap ending room has a lot of similarities to the sister location private room.

An interesting thing I have noticed, at the end of the game we get the Micheal speak, but it makes no sense. He says that he put her back together, which doesn't happen and the speech fades out in a mechanical way. Almost like it's a robot mimicking a voice Edit: also he shouldn't be able to report to willy boy after sl happens since he got one of them metal puppets in him. So it's either ennard talking or the speech happened in the pass. Ennard coming to Willo A follows what baby says in fanf 6

I’m so happy I found the Ryetoast channel

cat is absolutely LOST in the belly scratches sauce

Wait…I thought Hand Unit was referring to Circus Baby’s Entertainment and Rental because after he talks about Freddy’s closing he says that their robots are rented out…it doesn’t disprove your opinion but I don’t see why he would be referring to Circus Baby’s Pizza World in that context

@ryetoast what was in the box could easily have been blueprints of the afton/emily house, which shows all the underground bunker contained rooms, the fnaf 4 experiments, and sister locations parts all together in one map. All the pieces of fnaf 4 brought together perhaps.

I’m getting a Resident Evil feeling. Just like how one of the movies with all the clones recreating how each major city outbreak started.

Wow that’s super interesting! (I’m guessing but it’s probably right since I haven’t watched it) Yeah pretty good theory!

Fredbear's Family Diner:1970s-1985 FFP Olds:1983-1985 Sister Location:1985-1987 FFP Toys:1983-1987 FFP Classics:1988-1993 Fazbear's Fright Horror Attraction:1985+30=2015 FFPS-SB:????

I always thought of fnaf 4 as some weird distorted version of bite victims memory’s, like a messed up experiment where William attempted convincing someone that they were his son. The mini games being false memories/experiences created by William to trick his victim into believing they’re someone they aren’t, maybe even believing they’ve already died. Maybe it would be an experiment to see if he could bring his dead sons memory’s back, although I don’t know why he’d want to.

My personal biggest thing is about Michael, just when and why did he become a robot? Like nobody ever touched on that or maybe is he just somehow pulling off a springtrap with his own body that was used as a body suit for ennard

What if it was the mimic acting as William telling him to go down into the bunker and the mimic was with Michael in the bunker without him knowing? What if Sister Location was just like the Ruin DLC?

There's actually a camera in SL's special ending that has pipes spraying out a mysterious gas. Always wondered about those.

Im sure steel wool is using chatgpt for story 💀💀

great theory as always rye, loved the video and how you make such confusing ideas make so much sense

Good thing we're going back to older games going forward

Matpat related Fetch to the Funtimes - an old looking dog able to respond to smartphones. And it IS a story linked to the Stitchwraith.

It's an interesting idea, but Pizzeria Sim shows us both Glamrock Chica and the blueprint for the S.C.U.P.. Besides, if I recall correctly, the kid was asked to reactivate the gas, and saw the bunker the way we do in SL _before_ doing so.

Great video as always. Lots to think about. If it's true that the Rental location is contaminated with nightmare gas, then this is probably some kind of retcon. Still, it doesn't seem immediately busted as an idea. Hm.

Maybe the Exotic Butters were the real villain of Sister Location.

When the English language was invented, they never thought it would be used to say “We didn’t know, until next month”

I was rewatching some of your videos about the FNAF Movie and had a thought what if Vanessa isn't a robot or a Red Haring but instead during an epilog she's at the pizza plex uncovering the old anamatronics as sequal bait

This theory also explains both the giant server rack in the control room of the bunker and the capabilities of the bots. In order to handle the complex movements of their architecture, they would need 40 or 64-bit processors and a ton of memory, but if these bots were actually basically mobile terminals for a larger mainframe located in a central control room, the features they boast could have been possible in the late 80s or early 90s, with advanced sound processing and text-to-speech programs already kinda existing at the time.

yessss i love your videos and i'm always so excited when they come out, especially when they're about one of my fav fnaf games!!

The SL animatronics really remind me of cars in the 80s (Countashe mainly) so I have no idea why it seems so odd that they can be made in the 80s. It’s spaghetti tubes Fibreglass panels And a skeleton That can be used to describe a car

SISTER LOCATION!!!!!

Do you think Rye's cats think; "*sigh* dads working again. Who gets the lap?"

Just throwing it out there. So, the guests are hearing gas leaks and seeing something during the night. This sounds familiar. What if this "gas leaks" isn't flammable ones like an oven gas leak but the "gas leak" that is inhaled by the fnaf 4 kid? It also connects the, "seeing something during the night"

Another interesting lore revelation in Dittophobia is the confirmation of Sister Location’s placement in the timelines. Rory has been in the experiments for 10 years. Thanks to SL we know that the experiments started in 1983 at the earliest (remember the password we use to see the FNaF 4 house which is called an “observation rooms”) In Dittophobia the FunTimes are still normal and not part of Ennard in 1993 (1983 + 10= 1993) and we know FNaF 1 happened in 1993, so this means Ennard wasn’t created at the time of FNaF 1, so the events of SL still haven’t happened in 1993, confirming FNaF SL takes place after FNaF 1

I kept seeing you pop up in my home section for so long and i was so used to just tapping them i had no idea i hadnt subscribed already! Im so sorry! Either way i love your calm voice and the out of the box approach you bring to FN@F theories thank you for your awesome insights 💖

Your videos have improved so much in quality ! I'm glad I was here when you began this trip into madness

Sister location is after fnaf 1. Fnaf ar have a teaser of a broken mangle on a room, a baby's room. The only time we see something like that is in fnaf 4 minigames, which implies that Elizabeth Afton was a baby in 1983. So probably she dies in the 90's. The survival logbook says that Michel Afton start to work on fazbear pizzaria because of the free pizza, not to find his father. The reasons for him to be fired is because phone guy says that he is curious to see what have inside in the animatronics, and because of the corpses, they have a bad odor.

Your narrative, production quality, and dialogue have all improved drastically in the short time we have all been theorizing on fnaf. Impressive channel, great video.

I didnt have my glasses on so for a moment i thought Rye was petting/scratching his belly... 😂

15:14 While I'm really skeptical about the main theory of this video, I 100% agree with this part. I believe the crying child is stuck in a chamber and isn't actually living a real life.

Love your content! Can't wait for when you can make another timeline with all the new things we have learned.

Your theories are awesome, but honestly, I'd keep coming back just for the kitties 🥰

Tbh I’ve always suspected a gas theory since fnaf 3, that aint no black mold in those vents man

Man, William Afton is really just slowly turning into Scarecrow with his fear gas

I think Crying Child did have nightmares but they were different and irregularly spaced out. Then,of course,he died. I suspect his agony was captured by William in the illusion disks and torture Mike by recreating the monsters from Crying Child’s nightmares and putting them in his own torture chamber. Considering all the FNAF 4 callbacks in Security Breach,I think the “In your dreams” weird wooden things could have been the original things William used to torture Mike (or some similar marionette) before upgrading to robots

Before I watch this theory in full. I think the springlock suit we're in, in the cutscene. Could be the Ella doll. I now the book, game and movie lore aren't 100% but as most people think we should use all of them to help solve eachother. In the movie there is a springlock suit that looks very similar to the Ella doll from the books. Altough the looks don't really fit the funtime style(the colours and the cheeks kinda do though) It's a thought. We still(as far as I know) don't have a game universe design for the Ella doll(if there even is one in the games, we don't know for certain)

I like how everyone shuts down FNAF world but old man consequences is a major theme.

FIRST LIKE, rye toast you are genuinely one of my favourite youtubers, your calm voice and logical thinking always brightens my day, thank you so much for making the content you do

I like that quote, a brainstorm is saying a bunch of wrong things in the hopes that something actually becomes true 15:05

Sister Location bunker doesnt necessarily need to be deep, don't forget the halogenic gas and just some elevator trickery could also be responsible to make you think it was a long and deep elevator ride when in reality it's just going 1-2 floors down.. That or simply it was built in an old abandoned ex-military (nuclear) bunker of some sort.

Did we have an explanation for why in FNaF 3 we'd get those hallucinations whenever the ventilation failed? Small amounts of this gas that gathers without active ventilation would be one explanation, but i dunno if the timing works out at al.

MAN IS SO SMART HE GOES WITH "is" "was" "again"😂😂

I always noticed that the place kinda had a similar foundation to SL in RUIN, but i always thought this was either a coincidence, or a wacky redisign steel wool decided to do.

Ok the fact you can tie this back in to ruin and help wanted 2 is what does it for me. That’s insane I love it.

I love how you’re so used to holding your cats when your talking that you use a plush when they aren’t in your lap 😢🥹😂

I think this is true, it makes a lot of sense. Also idc I’m still gonna snort plaster and smoke glitter glue.

This is a great video. Keep up the great work I think you are one of the best FNAF theorist out there.

Its Charles entertainment cheese the 3rd, the first brother die in the war, put respect on his name😂 6:04

This is a really really cool idea. It has always bothered me that Michael was told to go to the bunker (and the high-tech stuff being old but new) however the nightmare gas stuff is just really cool (as someone who's always loved sound illusion discs) and would make an interesting twist on the sister location bunker. I'm super excited to read this story when the book comes out. It sounds just up my alley.

Me halfway through the video, “didn’t it say it closed do to a gas leak?” Just not realizing that’s what he’s saying

0:29 "We know this game turns Michael from an 'is' into a 'was'-" this had me CACKLING 🤣🤣

16:10 That's what I've been thinking! So glad you said it!

Well, judging by several pieces of evidence, Sister Location takes place in the year 1986, which was the same year that Pixar was founded.

(just a thought) What if all the games up to sl are just dreams or hallucinations as well? The minigames from fnaf 4 show what the subject (Michael?) experienced in those experiments, and the result of that are dreams or nightmares that are the games we play, especially fnaf 1,2 and 3. That would sorta make the "dream theory" make sense, because he would dream about the urban legends and stories he hears from the kids and about the purple person he sees in the shadows etc. Maybe that IS the experiment. William afton wanted to find out how this hallucination gas worked, so he built this facility and created this scenarios and stories and put his son he hated to live that every day under the influence of the gas, and he would (somehow, idk) monitor his nightmares (the games 1,2,3) to know if it was working.

Good thing you uploaded i was bored before this

Are we just forgetting that sound illusion disks exist with this one?

That cat looks hella comfortable.

That thumbnail tho ... *chefs kiss*

the description of "turns michael from an is, to was, and again." made me laugh 😂

of all the crazy theories this franchise has, this one is my favorite

If Micheal is hit with the gas wouldn't the sister location look like nightmares of some sort?
