fun fact: in memory 4 you actually play as michael, because his overall plan was to kill scott so he has a family. So he made a deal with the animatronics, because they both wanted him dead. In basement the free'd animatronics talk to michael via tv, helping him through the levels, the endos are haunted and are againts michael (bassically protecting Scott) you can tell that its the animatronics through what they say ;)
Funny thing about Memory 3 is that when Bonnie destroys a camera, Foxy can't appear in the place where the camera was destroyed, so if he destroys all of your cameras, you completely get rid of Foxy.
@@ioftenreplytodeadcomments8920 Well, then you can just leave one camera operational and check the other two cameras for Freddy. If you want to check the camera that's still working, you can just look at the camera first to get rid of Foxy.
It's worth mentioning that chica doesn't actually kill you for the most part on the first few nights, she serves as a fnaf3-esque phantom jumpscare. On top of disorienting the player, she also lowers your sanity. The exception to her not killing you is when you are at the lowest sanity level (red).
Fun fact - you actually play as Michael in night 4. That’s why you spend the whole night assembling Creation, and why the messages directly address you as “the one they call Michael”
@@an-animal-lover it took me a while to figure it out too I even had the check the wiki. I personally love the atmosphere of that level I understand why people don’t like it gameplay wise but yeah the story of that game is a bit wonky and that level especially tanks because of how unclear it is
i think many people never noticed because in the cutscene to night 4 scott got knocked out in the basement and nothing indicates who you're playing as that level unless you die
@@Zoxiry yeah, pretty much. The game does lay all the pieces out but the way the level is staged with that opening cutscene and you waking up afterwards in the bathroom it does make you wonder what’s real and what’s not and if you are still playing as Scott. But if you are then the whole experience could be dismissed as a dream, which undoes the impact of Creation’s, well, creation, since it doesn’t answer how it was made IRL. But what really seals the deal is Scott wakes up in the attic to find himself tied up, yet last we see the player’s character in the basement, they are coming up from the stairs, which is a major discontinuity with the story if that character is intended to be Scott. This always bothered me when looking back on playthroughs online since the two levels seemingly don’t connect. But if we are to believe you play as Michael in the basement, it not only fixes this discontinuity but it also explains why you (so willingly) are helping to build creation in the furnace. That last part of the basement is definitely intended to be 100% real (you can see it on the camera in the attic) so it can’t not be Michael. Scott wouldn’t walk up the stairs to then wake up in the attic and find himself tied up again. And we know that is the only section of gameplay from the basement that is without a doubt real because it resembles the scene from the opening cutscene, whereas the rest could be dismissed as a vision, metaphor, or nightmare of some sort. Which does beg the question of how real the basement segment truly is, and that remains unanswered in the story. Is Michael having his own nightmare? Is Scott’s basement this demented? I think this question is avoided to preserve the horror and allow the basement to shift about just like how the other game segments generally depict a loss of sanity as a defiance of time and space. Definitely a bit of a cop-out but it is what it is. My theory, and tbis isn’t game canon or anything, is that Michael is connected to Ennard in Scotts games so perhaps the building of a nightmarish being like Creation is a bit of a body-horror experience for him since he has to relive the disturbing experience of his being scooped. Perhaps Creation comes to life because it is literally forged in the fires of a demon’s terrors. Idk, just a thought. Hope this helps
One fear i have is sense of security being blown away. Forget regular jumpscares, imagine youre staring at an Endo, knowing its not going to move as long as u look at it. Then it turns around and kill you anyway
@@Super-7327 I don’t think it can, they quite literally turn to stone when you look at them, the only unpredictable things they really did was come out of a tv and steal someone’s voice for some reason but aslong as you’re looking at them they physically cannot touch you.
@@marlo9065 Not really, if you get to close to it, regardless if you're watching it or not, it may kill you, the AI is programmed to kill as soon as it touches the player, however it also can't move as long as the player is watching, yet the command to kill on touch is still on, so the computer has a paradox to solve, there's a 50% of chances of it killing you or to let you live, and since you don't know exactly how much is "too close", because the Endo doesn't give you any clues for that, it makes Angel that much unpredictable
I also gotta say the jumpscares are god tier. Bonnie literally punching your brains out or foxy decapitating you is something I haven’t seen in any other fan game.
Ah yes the game security breach took the endo section from. And yes before you say it, I know that weeping angels have far outdated both of those games. However, the fact that they are both endos is either an insane coincidence or direct inspiration
I believe it's been stated that that particular section of TJoC was actually created before the Weeping Angels were a thing, although the game itself of course released far after that point. The endo in question being named 'Angel', however, is definitely a reference to that - although the name is a far easier last-minute reference than the entire concept or design, of course.
@@ultmateragnarok8376 That section of TJoC couldn’t have been made before the weeping angels though, that seizes of Doctor Who came out in 2007 and the first FNAF game didn’t come out until 2014 🤔
Honestly the "don't look back" hallway is what scares me the most in the game. For one, the way the endo moves towards you as fast as a goddamn bullet is horrifying, and makes me jump even when I know it's going to happen. And secondly, the simple instructions of "don't stop, don't look back" tends to trigger our curiosity. Pretty much every let's player who played the game turned around pretty much instantly. Some players just wanted to see what would happen (even though it's obvious), but some also doubted these instructions. Despite the game never once being wrong or lying to you, for some reason a lot of us tend to think "yea right" when we're given instructions as straightfoward as that. So basically, I think it's the scariest part because it sorta plays with your brain a bit, and challenges not only curiosity, but also how we trust the instructions given to us in certain contexts
For me, memory 4 and 5 are one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen. I could say they are a nightmare fuel, but to my shock, I've never had any nightmares about them. But they stuck with me nonetheless.
Back in 2016, when I was still in high school, I used to go to this game club, and while there, I saw a few of the older students play the story mode of this game. Shit was feeling mad tense, and I wasn't even playing the game.
Should mention that the creator of this fangame went on to help developed "Dark Deception". He's working on one last fan game before permanently shifting focus on Dark Deception and future content. Up to you if you want to cover his other works even if its not a Fnaf fan game (because that game does have animatronics)
@@etam8099 shame that the fan community loses someone like him. On the bright side, his work on Dark Deception is brilliant (only flawed by proportioning and design of the three main characters, especially in cutscenes)
@@ladylunaginaofgames40 Yeah Nickson had too much talent, it was bound for him to go on his own journey, what sucks the most is that the community will lose not only him, but Phisnom as well after Plus gets released...there it goes 2 of the most talented and well known developers in the community...
@@etam8099 Well, as a phoenix turns to ash, a new one will be born. Someone will take their place, someone greater, someone better, and if not either of those two, then someone on the same level. The post shift 2 developer has alot of great potential, and I think once he learns from his mistakes on Post Shift 2, he'll be comparable to the likes of Phisnom and Nickson.
Everyone always seems to get Michael's relation to the family confused. He's just some random guy who showed up at their door. It literally says so in the first cutscene. IIRC he's not Michael Afton either, that was just a fan theory. Also not mentioning Toilet Bonnie straight up decking you in his jumpscare smh
@@SubconsciousDeviant yeah, I didn't notice until I read the wiki, the only in game thing I can think of is the game over screen message that says "open the way, Michael" or something like that, but obviously that would be a super missable detail
Just one correction; Michael isn't a member of the family. He was a stranger that stumbled onto the Cawthon property and was allowed asylum in their home. He brought the Molten Characters with him.
Im pretty sure it was Michael Afton right from the FNaF 6 fire with the mother/wife telling Scott that he "looks out of a bonfire" which would be the FNaF 6 fire
Just wanna say, TJOC's memory three used to be the hardest in the game. It had to get patched to help because of it's difficulty because of a lot of reasons. Some major ones are that Foxy would be able to be in a room that has a broken camera and he could appear in 3 rooms at once.
i remember thinking Foxy's ability to spawn on broken cams was unfair... until the patch made it possible to remove him altogether by getting Bonnie to punch out every camera
@@dopesickdog Nope, you just got lucky. Foxy can bug if Bonnie breaks all cameras, but otherwise, he just kills you. A safer strategy is to just keep a single camera active, as then he'll only appear there.
Now here is the funny thing about the story. Your explanation of it is how it is presented on the surface level. The final story (while not adding too much else) what you didn't grasp and the details of the story the game doesn't make entirely clear that were actually revealed by Nikson himself make the story really unique to me! Basically, it takes place in the "real world," and Scott (not Cawthon) is a game developer who created horror indie franchise Five Nights at Freddy's. On one fateful night, Scott and his family are attacked by demonic presences taking the shape and form of Freddy and the gang, as well as Michael Afton. What I'm getting at is that Nikson explained that the Ignited Animatronics are demonic entities called "doppelgangers." Demons that feed on suffering fear, taking the physical forms of those fears or scary things (aka the characters from Five Nights at Freddys in this game) and killing whoever they seek to "replace." Michael is not REALLY Michael Afton, and the ignited are NOT REALLY Freddy and crew, Michael is a "doppelganger" who wants to live a normal human live and seeks to replace Scott and use his physical body as a host. The "Ignited" are doppelgangers who simply wish to spread fear and suffering, and they take the forms of the Freddy's characters after seeing the fear it put into the fans of the franchise. This is why Nick goes into a monologue about the "influence of FNAF on the world" before the office level. Essentially the basement level is canonically THE FIRST PIECE OF THE STORY. The basement (true to form) is actually taking place in hell or the "underworld" and has the doppelganger demons who eventually become the ignited, making a deal with the demon who will eventually take the form of Michael to basically kill Scotts family and allow him to attack and replace Scott, if he allows them passage to the world above. The world of the living. Hence why the basement is structured like a set of escape rooms and why the endos (referred to as "The Fallen") are trying to kill you. They are other demonic presences, trying to stop this deal from going through and "Michael" and the ignited from escaping to the world above. (Btw, little side note, the whole doppelganger demon's thing also explains why the version of Freddy and the gang in this game are referred to as "The Ignited" due to burns afflicted upon them when trying to breach the barrens of the underworld and safely pass into the real world with Michael. Which is also why he quote "looks like he came out of a bonfire" to Scott's wife in one cutscene and in the opening. He literally came from hell.) Anyway, the newspapers talking about "evil twins" and other house fires and arson attacks in the area near Scott's home, little bits of dialogue, as well as the entirety of the basement level and what the "eyes" on the tv screens are saying to Michael isn't just meta non-sense. It turns out this FNAF game is about demons who take the form of characters from the franchise in order to enact a violent attack on Scott's (remember NOT Scott Cawthon) family home, only to separate a family, burn down a home, and leave Scott alone with Michael so that the demon can replace him and take on his familial lifestyle. All through the perspective of Nick, Scott's Eldest Son, trying to recall the events years after the traumatizing attack. All of this info was revealed by Nikson and Phisnom during the 1 Year Anniversary Q&A Video for the game a few years ago. And to me, it actually makes the game really cool. On the surface, it's a silly meta narrative that uses FNAF and its character as a place name for a silly story that isn't all the serious. But it turns out, we just didn't get the full picture (because the game unfortunately doesn't really show or explain any of this, its left vague and was misread when the game first came out.) and when Nikson finally revealed the true story, I went back and played the game again, to find out, this was the story from the beginning, we just (due to a lot of circumstances at the time of release) thought very little of the story and wrote it off as "Scott is who we play as in this game?! WOAH POGGERS COOL META STUFF" when its surprisingly a lot darker and more unique for a FNAF Fan Game, as the gameplay and everything else about this game already is. So, at least to me, even the story of this game is not something to write off or disregard. It's just unique as everything else this game has to offer as a FNAF Fan Game! Thank you for coming to my TED-Talk. 💙
I mean didn't Nixon rewrite the story to this because the original premise was that Michael was a real person who made Ignited animatronics to steal Scott's wife? Or am I just misremembering.
Some things to note that you may not have known that I would either like to highlight and/or to clarify: •Each night has a mini cutscene that occurs if you fail or die in a certain way with each one ending with flashes of Golden Freddy with the text “Come Back” except for Night 5 doing “…” •Night 4 of the long hallway actually has it where an Endo will at fast speeds chase you down the hallway to where if you even stop for a moment then you may not even make it to the door in time as you just hear the endo getting closer and closer. You however did not encounter this cause you didn’t stop or turn around at all but yeah it may be pretty easy but it’s still pretty easy to mess up as well •Night 3 has an objective of making it to 6 AM *BUT* you MUST flash Freddy a certain amount of times before the end of the night or else instead of getting the victory you will instead be treated to a power out scenario like in FNaF1, complete with a Freddy playing The Toreador March in the dark •Golden Freddy can actually kill you in Night 5 where a giant floating head (FNaF2 style) can at times be seen behind you in the hall and if you look at it for about 3-5 seconds then you’ll instantly die to Golden Freddy •Most if not every night has a secret Golden Freddy appearance somewhere with most nights having it where he can only be found in a certain location while the phone call is on and successfully finding Golden Freddy will spawn somewhere in the room a piece of paper for the story •In Night 5, the Golden Freddy plushie will actually glitch out the more you flash Golden Freddy on the cameras, almost like a little indicator of your progress on defeating them and making it through the night •Most, if not all, of the nights have a unique visual that occurs usually when approaching near the end of the night where the environment will look more corrupt such as in Night 2 making the room darker and red while having the designs on the pictures change into an image of the ignited animatronics’ eyes glowing in the dark •Bit of a nice reference/Easter egg but the area during the cutscene where Freddy attacks and chases Scott throughout the house is based on the original layout and design of the Freddy level in the Joy of Creation: Reborn free roam alpha build of the game. •And lastly: the Ignited animatronics (and Michael I think as well) are all not the characters that they look like they’re based on but instead are some darker force taking the form and looks of Scott’s creations. It’s something that Scott even says in one of the cutscenes “You are not them- you are just using their faces!” when he was questioning how are they real and who are they and what do they want It’s nice that people are still talking about this game and how it still holds up to this day, really goes to show how even with its flaws it still has a strong stand even when compared to FNaF fan games nowadays
It’s got it’s problems, for sure, but you can’t say that it isn’t one of the pillars of the Fnaf Fan Game community and influential enough to have some of its mechanics added into security breach , an official Fnaf game.
Why haven’t you checked out "Tyke & Sons: Lumber Co."? It’s a really cool FNAF game, with interesting daytime and nighttime segments to keep you quaking in your boots.
@rarescevei8268 it's been like 7 months since your comment but if I'm not mistaken chica can kill you on memory 1 when your sanity is in the red while in memory 2 she can kill you from 5 am afterwards
@@nathanshierd2098 I always found Outlast to be more fun than scary lol, and i've been playing it since middle school, i basically did multiple speedruns of both games lmao
@@ioftenreplytodeadcomments8920 Good for you, but I'm a complete sucker for jumpscares hah. Plus: I had experience with running away since I was born, so chases were fun, and they were in my bloodline xd
@@nathanshierd2098 Mate Outlast being a chasefest is what made the game so fun to me, it may get stale and repetitive after a while, but for me they're always so fun lol
Quick mention on how much the Basement jumpscares are brutal. The other memories already had brutal jumpscares compared to the rest of the FNAF-like games, but Basement has on a whole other level, especially the one that comes to you during the second phase if you don't go back in the bathroom.
night 4 is genuinely the most terrifying and tense gameplay i’ve ever gone through. at a point i started crying while i was playing, then i didn’t touch the game for a while haha
Something interesting to me, the way Bonnie works in UCN and how the Endoskeletons work in SB have a striking similarity to how they work in TJOC. Bonnie in UCN will scramble the cameras if you look at them too much, even if it’s for less time and the endoskeletons in SB are literally just doing the same Weeping Angel gimmick that TJOC does with them. Not saying it was intentionally copied, but it is interesting.
@@awanderer3047 I’m guessing the SB section was heavily inspired by TJOC’s mechanic, seeing as there are arcade games featuring the Ignited animatronics in Music Man’s segment.
One funny thing i noticed about memory 3 is that the flashlight is kinda hard to see at times when used to flash freddy so with the effect on freddys face it makes it look like scott straight up punched freddy in the upper jaw
I'm not sure, I could be remembering wrong, but I remember hearing that the reason Night 3 is so much easier and more chill than the other nights in this game is because it was actually nerfed in an update and used to be really hard. Again, I don't know if this is true or not but I think I've heard that before.
@@Kathen From memory: Bonnie used to kill you after the 3rd camera breaks. Freddy was a bit more elusive and I think the amount of times you had to stun him was reduced. In addition: Chica's cupcakes became easier to hear and louder.
i absolutely love how fnaf security breach took massive inspiration from TJoC's endo, and how they function. It really goes to show how much scott and his team were involved in their community.
I'm gonna be honest I'm a bit harsher on the story of this game cause I think having it be about Scott and his family being tormented by the animatronics just feels...disrespectful? Idk it just gives me an ick.
idk, Its not neccesoraly dissrespecting its just a fanfiction story that doesn't affect anything, I mean it would be pretty scary for scott but he isn't scared anymore
14:30 while this hallway is the easiest part of the game, if you turn back it quickly becomes the most terrifying one in my opinion. if you do so, Foxy's endo (which is, in my opinion, the scariest) will spawn after like 3 seconds and just come running at extremely fast speeds towards you, which triggers a pretty terrifying jumpscare and sound.
I love how TJOC predicted modern fnaf lore, because the first 4 games in the franchise could just be meta games, which is why Help Wanted actively mentions Scott as a real part of the lore.
you didn't have to close the curtain when his arm was there, just when he was staring through the window. anyway amazing video, really glad u covered this game as it has a special place in my heart
100k alert!! I’ve been subbed since you posted your FNAF Easter egg video, and it’s been awesome watching your channel grow and your content get better and better. Here’s to more good content in the future 🥂🥂🎉🎉
Surfshark can get rid of ads? Now I can trust that! 3:00 Freddy will never attack you when his hand is on the window,BUT once his face is at the window should be shut immediately. 6:18 As I can see, this is sleep paralysis or shadow freddy. 6:52 helpful tip: Foxy is a little faster than Freddy.(meaning foxy should be stopped first.) 10:23 Good news:after breaking a camera, Foxy will never appear in that specific room. Bad news: after breaking all 3 cameras foxy will not appear at all but bonnie will jumpscare you randomly and that's a game over.(This is really rare.)
I’m pretty sure the animatronics are like, otherworldly creatures taking the form of the animatronics, like, taking the form of popular imaginary things is how they survive, and Mike is like their herald
I'm assuming that you didn't experience the 6AM loss mechanic for The Office memory since you didn't mention it at all. Basically if you didn't "find" (flash) Freddy enough times before you reach 6AM you will be thrown back through a loop where you'd have to try again.
It's so crazy to me the different experiences people can have with this game. So many people had a hard time on level 2 and an easy time on level 3. I completed level 2 in a couple tries, level three took me hours cause I couldn't get enough freddies. I love it though cause luck being involved in victory can make them even more suspensful.
6:12 The sanity mechanic is actually explained in the phone call, but not super well since it presents the sanity like you can actually increase it, rather than just preserve it. "Okay, so, these monsters might look, umm...surreal... D-Don't look at them too long, or you'll feel weird and...see creepy things! When you do, turn on your desk lamp, next to your bed; you'll feel safe there... But the more stare at the scary monsters, the worse you'll feel..."
You forgot another endo in floor 5 that introduces bonnie version. If i remember correctly if you dont exactly put the items in the incenarator correctly and approach the bathroom, the room will flash red and you see sublime texts until the endo runs up to you and kills you.
The ending still gives me chills… when Scott’s puppeteer’d corpse was repeated that they were safe, how that’s all that should matter right now before glitching and breaking down, Micheal telling him to let him take over things from here
ahh, i remember watching markiplier play the demo and there was this one part where i think it was freddy (?) was running at him and you could hear the sound of him and everything but you couldn’t see him and then he jump scared him. that part messed me up good for a couple of months (and i was like what 12 or 13?) i kept checking around me irl and closing doors that didn’t need to be closed. it was only recently that i was able to finally be brave and 😊sit down and watch a playthrough of this game. safe to say, this is definitely the scariest fnaf game imo, none of the actual fnaf games scared me THAT bad, not even fnaf 4 or sister location (sl because i find ennard to be the most terrifying animatronic yikes)
correction for night 4: the basement We play as Micheal as for the lore: The Ignited are some sort of entities that can take the appearence of characters from medias (in that case, fnaf characters) their goal is to kill the creator of the character they take form of, to be "immortal", cutscenes and levels are all in wrong order so i'll put it back together: Basement "Come Back" cutscene: "Micheal" (one of the Ignited) is formed by the fire, taking the appearence if Micheal Smicht (aka: fnaf 1 nightguard) The Basement Memory: he then wakes up in the bathroom and is instructed who we can assume to be Ignited Golden Freddy, telling Micheal his purpose of existing, to, "Let them out" to do this he needs to do 2 things: - Give the Igniteds the "shape" of fnaf animatronics, to do this, he simply burns 4 accesories of the characters. - Open the door which leads to "our reality" because in this level Micheal, the Ignited and the Fallen are in some sort of pocket dimension or something like that Note: The Fallen are entities who failed to maintain their form, they became corrupted and as such, they would attack Micheal dispite the fact they are the same species Cutscene where Scott meets Micheal for the first time: he resist the urge to kill Scott directly, call out his name, cutscene proceeds Bedroom memory and Living room memory: We learn that Micheal doesn't want to kill Scott's family because they are irrelevent to their goal, the main Ignited however would kill anything that stands on their path, after the 2 levels, and after the family gets out of the house (minus Scott) at this exact moment, Scott is stuck in a dimension looking similar to his house, which explains* Office cutscene and memory: *that when Scott opens Nick's bedroom door, it's an empty void instead, for some reason however, Scott "tried" to survive the Ignited multiple times (kinda proved by the recordings in the Office) how and why Scott just has the ability to try as much as WE can to survive is unknown (probably related to meta stuff involving the player's determination or something like that) Basement cutscene + Attic memory: Scott gets knocked down by Micheal, then brought to the Attic, Micheal explains the Ignited are "merging" to be one, why? Because if one ignited kills Scott, that would mean that ignited would be immortal, not the others, correct? not sure but thats a theory. Micheal is keeping Scott alive because he know the Ignited or "Creation" wouldn't trust him anymore for helping Scott's family (even tho I said the family was irrelevent in their goal whatsoever), that is also a theory at the end, Micheal manage to take over Scott's body, killing him, and would "take care of everything from here" but I think that would be obvious already. For Nick telling us about the story: After the incident, and the house went to ashes, many years passed where fnaf was no more (as well as its creator) the house did got fixed up, and Nick decides to go back in, for good ol' memories? No, because each time we died in a special way (insanity too low in bedroom memory, got jumpscared too many times by Chica in the living room, etc) something told us to "Come Back", that something is Golden Freddy, and that message wasn't for us, it was for Nick, and if you see the cutscene after Golden Freddy's jumpscare in the Attic, you might understand why Nick was told to COME BACK.
i remember beating this game years ago, watched a guide tho. but i was really happy that i beated it by myself and not my brothers helping, i still remember the moment when i finally finished the final memory without cheating! (ive always been making my fnaf game all unlocked through editing the notepad shit and not playing it)
Attic has always been my favorite as well, but i would lie if i said that Basement isn't coolest memory and Living Room the hardest, regardless it's each level is unique and refreshing, not to mention actually scary and most of all, actually balanced while still being really challenging, it's just a matter of skill for this game, unfortunately there's some flaws like in any game, the explanations ain't always the best and the story, while being pretty dark and unique, can be upgraded, overall the controls feel pretty snappy and the graphics still hold up to this day, with an optimization that speaks for itself, it's honestly my favorite FNAF Fan Game and i'm really happy that UA-cam actually considered TJOC as an actual game and not FNAF all over again, really looking forward for Ignited Collection as Nickson has revealed some really cool ideas for it.
12:17 Just to clarify, in Memory 4 you are actually play as Micheal instead of Scott, take place before the first three nights. Micheal has to do the missions in order to free the Ignited animatronic to the real world
lol yea for the bedroom and living room parts of the game Chica doesn't kill you when get jumpscared by her, her jumpscaring is more of a distraction to let the others jumpscare you
I didn't get that during Memory 3 Freddy is recoiling because of the Flashlight, so I thought Scott was just hitting him over the head with a crowbar 💀
The office where we play as scott I remember used to be quite harder. I am not sure but I think it used to be that bonnie would also kill you if you'd spot him in a hallway.
It might make a bit more sense if I clarify that the Michael Schmidt and the ignited animatronics are quite literally demons that stole the faces of Scott's creations. It's actually pretty similar to the concept of the Mandela Catalogue.
16:19 watch for the 4 endos in the attic on your left and right 2 in each side 1 runner 1 sneaking. Watch for Creation use the stun to force him back, however you also need to use the stun to get golden freddy 13 (2 for each floor of the house plus 1) times. Sometimes Golden Freddy will appear behind you look at him then look back at your computer if you turn around again he is gone
Y'know how FNAF fan games only show the hour and sometimes don't even have an excuse for that? In this game, there's a mug in front of the minute side of the digital clocks. I love this detail.
If it wasn’t for everything the fans do out of love for this series, fnaf probably would’ve been totally finished by 2018 or 2019 but things like this along with the vhs tapes and the interviews (and countless other fan projects) are what kept my love for fnaf. That is what fnaf should be. Not security breach although I still think it’s okay that it was made
PlainTrace I don’t know if you read comments but, Roblox has some pretty nifty FNAF fan games. Forgotten memories being 1, and Submarine simulator being the other while submarine simulators story and plot is different it’s inspired by fnaf. You should take a look at Forgotten memories, bring some friends because the gameplay mechanics are very different but amazingly well crafted in my eyes, it also follows it’s own FNAF timeline.
Aight lemme give yall a run down. Text wall incoming. In this universe, as described through the secret newspaper clippings, (from finding Golden Freddy in the first 4 levels, and honking the plush nose alot iirc in the attic) there is a forest that Scott lives by where ghostly dopple-gangers are showing up and killing the originals supposedly, in a bubble (supposedly) around the area where they are feeding and burning, so that their actions arent discovered. This is the reason the Ignited animatronics and the fallen endos are in the real world, tormenting Scott. Timeline time. Basement: In this level you play as Michael. This section actually takes place before the bedroom level, and is the reason the animatronics and endos get out. As the words on the screen show, the entities in the dopple-ganger forest make copies, feed on 'The joy of creation' or in this case, the love for the game from fans around the world, and then burn whats left after it all runs out, IE scott and his house etc. Michael is actually a duplicate of scott, and he is tasked with freeing the IGNITED, not the fallen. He burns the objects to give them shape, (their FNaF gang likeness), and eventually when Michael grabs the key, this opens the barrier into the real world letting the ignited free. The fallen endos on the other hand, WERE possible Ignited animatronics, that failed to cross over into the real world. How this explains Golden Freddy, I dont know, hes kinda glossed over as the leader and puppetmaster having his Golden Freddy form already in the basement scene during some hallucinations from Michael. In this level it is implied that Golden Freddy has a 'boss relation' to Michael and making him do his bidding. The Bedroom, Living room, and Office scenes are just the natural gameplay, not much story going on there, except possible Chekov's gun mechanics being used for Freddy and later Creation and Golden Freddy, with the flashlight in the eyes thing. (Edit: Michael is giving Scott's family tips to survive so that he can live on as Scott and have a family as explained later.) Then Attic: Due to not being able to kill Scott in the office or scotts family, they begin to wither down and start losing their FNaF shape, so with whats left they form Creation, the amalgam, in the basemen as a last ditch attempt to get to Scott.. He has Freddys Face mask, bonnies jaw, chicas feet, and foxys hook and thats all thats left from that point on. As for the endo's, I cant remember, probably the bubble breaking down as explained later. As you begin flashing golden freddy, his plushy keeps getting more static-fied and which can only represent his grip on the bubble that they made for Scott. The flashing in turn causes Golden Freddy to lose control, and the Ignited die, burning with the house. Michael, now free from GF's grip, takes on Scott's identity so he can live with his family since he is a duplicate. But now, since Scott is dead because of Michael, they finish siphoning the Joy of Creation from the world in the FNAF series, and burn the memories of that game and its creator in the minds of all the people who know about FNAF, that is why the levels are called memories and Nick has to 'remember them' by playing the levels. Nick said (i cant remember where) said that no one remembers his dad's old game series, but it is implied that Nick remembers because he got a note from Golden Freddy telling him to comeback, probably to his old house where Golden Freddy can finish off Nick. Thank you for listening and I hope this answers any details and questions.
@@Super-7327 I was genuinely confused about the lore too when i first played so I thought id help others. Nixon makes great games but hes makes em almost as convoluted as Scott does.
@@ejarfunkle505 I find it funny how if Scott makes a convoluted timeline, everybody be praising him while when Nickson does it, everybody be trashing him
I think about that, and how in The Glitched Attraction Toy Chica also decks you, and Springtrap stomps on your head. I wish more FNAF fan games showed the animatronic killing you (and not just a simple bite, either)
Honestly, it’s between playtime with Percy and Jr. Mostly because the final boss on Percy makes you have to do a lot stuff at once and do it fast, which I like. And Jr is a detective game but the timer is going as fast as sonic, which I also like.
TJoC is an interesting one. I can't say I don't like it - the game is great, as a game. The story.. meh, it wasn't needed and it's weird and convoluted (which does fit the series, admittedly), but it works. I have to say, though, that the Ignited aren't my favorite designs. The concepts are there, sure - these burned, extra-withered animatronics sort of in lieu of the Phantoms, but taken in a different direction - but I don't think they pull it off too well, because the missing casing pieces just look far too deliberate. There's no torn remains at the edges, or additional damage to the pieces around where they're missing, it's just whole pieces neatly removed. Freddy, for example, could've had a massive gash going up the left of his head, to tie it into his missing ear, and also give him more character separate to Withered Freddy, but instead he just has the ear missing and little else. Or Bonnie's chest piece, which easily could've had the bottom and perhaps top still there, with a giant chunk in the middle forcibly torn out or just burned through. The good thing about TJoC's designs, though, is that the Ignited aren't the only ones in play. You also have the Fallen - and, as endos, where the weak points are just the joints since those aren't solid metal that would have to break, their designs make more sense when simply losing pieces modularly. The Fallen are amazing designs, some of my favorite I've ever seen - I love the concept of the characters still going after burning, losing their entire casings and only identifiable by select few details. Creation is very unique as well, with the tripod shape and the sort of Mangle-but-intentional style of limbs - he's quite cool to look at. Ignited Goldie is still kind of a 'meh' design for me. Although, that said, I don't have a clue _where_ Angel, the endo Freddy becomes, gets his hands back from since they're missing from Ignited Freddy and Creation ends up with an extra anyways (though I don't think all the Ignited combined even _with_ Goldie would have enough to really make Creation anyways; he doesn't gain his endo parts from their bodies but seemingly from their essences because demons or whatever). That said, the nights, or memories rather, definitely are incredibly long for a FNaF game. That's not just to make them harder though - that's because each one is basically several nights. Think back to FNaF 1 - while the animatronics did increase in AI level as the night progresses, that doesn't mean they massively increased - they would go up, at most, 2 or 3 levels. And new threats wouldn't really be added - Foxy in the first night technically activates, but it's so late he doesn't really get the chance to make his run. However, as you go, the nights progressively get harder - Bonnie, then Chica activating on the first, then Foxy coming in on the second, and Freddy after that, with everyone ramping up during and after that point. TJoC can't do that, because every 'night' has a different gameplay loop to it, so it has to have longer nights where everyone comes in throughout and ramps up in difficulty throughout the singular night. And during a shorter one, like 5 or 6 minutes, they would do so incredibly quickly. So, ten minute nights. Except Basement, of course, where things are a little different - but I would honestly say Basement is almost comparable to SL in spirit, being a bunch of minigames and scripted encounters while you do this and that until you've accomplished the level's goals - just with more encounters and longer minigames, rather than SL's short minigames and lengthy encounters. Also, you mentioned not knowing all of Floor 3 of the Basement. If you look back after the message, an endo with no arms and only one eye will rush you from the end of the hallway, easily catching up to you. The endo in question is Red, who is the remains of Foxy and one of the two which charges you from the doors during Attic - the other being Blue, Bonnie's remains, who appears on whatever Floor the one you have to collect stuff in is called, should you stay too long after being told that It Is Not Safe and you must Turn Back (these mean there are indeed four, not three, endos in Attic. All are visible side-by-side if you die during the furnace floor, watching you burn within it). Angel and Mouth - Freddy and Chica respectively, being the 'eyeless Fallen' (who moves unwatched) and the 'sleeping Fallen' (who attacks anything nearby but does not move), are the two on the cameras there. My favorite fangame will I think forever be Fazbear Entertainment: Storage, which is a great expansion on how FNaF 2 could've been based on FNaF 1's gameplay. Every game has its problems, and it is no different, but it is fun and satisfying - and the visuals there are great, too.
The Fallens may have been the failed attempt of bringing back the original squad from Golden Freddy, the Ignited came back with their bodies still being recognisable, while still getting damaged by the fire as the price to pay, the Fallens however got destroyed far too much beyond recognition
Just wanted to correct a few things; -In the bedroom, you said that Michael was Nick's brother, which is not only not true, but you even acknowledged later that he's actually meant to be Michael Afton, so I'm a little confused why you left that in. -In the office, you said you have to flash Freddy 10 times to win, but it's actually 11 (you're meant to do it once for each of the 12 hours on the clock above the door, but Scott already got him once before the level started, as implied through the final recording, so it's just 11) -Plenty of people have already said, but you're playing as Mike in the Basement, not Scott. Although, I have to disagree with them on when it takes place; They say it's all in chronological order, and he's meant to be building Creation, leading into the Attic, but it seems more likely to me that it's back at the start of the timeline, when he first awakened in the real world, since the spirits of the Igniteds are basically making him help them get their physical forms so they can manifest too. Plus, the first cutscene of the game shows him being found just outside the Basement door, like he'd just escaped from there. -In the Attic, you said you had to get G Freddy 13 times (it's only 12, every 2 hits causes a room to catch fire, the final 2 ends it), and that there are only 3 endos, but there are actually 4; 2 who appear on the cams (Endo B & Endo C), and the running ones (Endo R & Endo F, who would've attacked you in the hallway section in the Basement).
I love these game reviews! Also, fun fact, the Living Room part of the game was used as a demo for the game. The demo of the Joy of Creation was essentially in the Living Room, except you could not get up and walk around. It was classic FNAF style. Sit and look around. I don't think it was exactly the same. There was no real story yet, some mechanics may have been changed, not sure. The only way to see this version I think is through old gameplay videos from Markiplier or something. I don't believe it is still downloadable, but I may be wrong
There was also no pause button, the TV was only used to see Chica. You had to check on Freddy, Bonnie and Foxy by looking through keyholes. The big middle door had you hide behind the couch.
The only thing about this game that isn’t top tier is the va and even then it’s not half bad, can’t wait for the remaster to come out on console and pc
There are 4 endos, the one your missing is endo r 'blue", he appears in the basement and will kill you if you don't go back to the bathroom if you see the "come back text" and he also appears in the attic where he comes from the left and acts like endo f "red". Also the endos are called "The Fallen" in the game's extra.

It's worth mentioning that chica doesn't actually kill you for the most part on the first few nights, she serves as a fnaf3-esque phantom jumpscare. On top of disorienting the player, she also lowers your sanity. The exception to her not killing you is when you are at the lowest sanity level (red).

@@an-animal-lover it took me a while to figure it out too I even had the check the wiki. I personally love the atmosphere of that level I understand why people don’t like it gameplay wise but yeah the story of that game is a bit wonky and that level especially tanks because of how unclear it is
i think many people never noticed because in the cutscene to night 4 scott got knocked out in the basement and nothing indicates who you're playing as that level unless you die
@@Zoxiry yeah, pretty much. The game does lay all the pieces out but the way the level is staged with that opening cutscene and you waking up afterwards in the bathroom it does make you wonder what’s real and what’s not and if you are still playing as Scott. But if you are then the whole experience could be dismissed as a dream, which undoes the impact of Creation’s, well, creation, since it doesn’t answer how it was made IRL.
But what really seals the deal is Scott wakes up in the attic to find himself tied up, yet last we see the player’s character in the basement, they are coming up from the stairs, which is a major discontinuity with the story if that character is intended to be Scott. This always bothered me when looking back on playthroughs online since the two levels seemingly don’t connect. But if we are to believe you play as Michael in the basement, it not only fixes this discontinuity but it also explains why you (so willingly) are helping to build creation in the furnace. That last part of the basement is definitely intended to be 100% real (you can see it on the camera in the attic) so it can’t not be Michael. Scott wouldn’t walk up the stairs to then wake up in the attic and find himself tied up again. And we know that is the only section of gameplay from the basement that is without a doubt real because it resembles the scene from the opening cutscene, whereas the rest could be dismissed as a vision, metaphor, or nightmare of some sort.
Which does beg the question of how real the basement segment truly is, and that remains unanswered in the story. Is Michael having his own nightmare? Is Scott’s basement this demented? I think this question is avoided to preserve the horror and allow the basement to shift about just like how the other game segments generally depict a loss of sanity as a defiance of time and space. Definitely a bit of a cop-out but it is what it is. My theory, and tbis isn’t game canon or anything, is that Michael is connected to Ennard in Scotts games so perhaps the building of a nightmarish being like Creation is a bit of a body-horror experience for him since he has to relive the disturbing experience of his being scooped. Perhaps Creation comes to life because it is literally forged in the fires of a demon’s terrors. Idk, just a thought. Hope this helps
@@mmmmythical perhaps so
i wouldn't look too deeply at it but yeah it's still a pretty cool level
One fear i have is sense of security being blown away. Forget regular jumpscares, imagine youre staring at an Endo, knowing its not going to move as long as u look at it. Then it turns around and kill you anyway
Angel's is so unpredictable that it can do that lol
@@Super-7327 I don’t think it can, they quite literally turn to stone when you look at them, the only unpredictable things they really did was come out of a tv and steal someone’s voice for some reason but aslong as you’re looking at them they physically cannot touch you.
@@marlo9065 Not really, if you get to close to it, regardless if you're watching it or not, it may kill you, the AI is programmed to kill as soon as it touches the player, however it also can't move as long as the player is watching, yet the command to kill on touch is still on, so the computer has a paradox to solve, there's a 50% of chances of it killing you or to let you live, and since you don't know exactly how much is "too close", because the Endo doesn't give you any clues for that, it makes Angel that much unpredictable
@@Super-7327 OH, I THOUGHT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT WEEPING ANGELS IM SO SORRY XD

Ah yes the game security breach took the endo section from. And yes before you say it, I know that weeping angels have far outdated both of those games. However, the fact that they are both endos is either an insane coincidence or direct inspiration
I believe it's been stated that that particular section of TJoC was actually created before the Weeping Angels were a thing, although the game itself of course released far after that point. The endo in question being named 'Angel', however, is definitely a reference to that - although the name is a far easier last-minute reference than the entire concept or design, of course.
and also they both take place in basements/ underground parts of their respective settings
As well as the ending where the main animatronic gets burned...
@@ultmateragnarok8376 That section of TJoC couldn’t have been made before the weeping angels though, that seizes of Doctor Who came out in 2007 and the first FNAF game didn’t come out until 2014 🤔
@@miyaatherton8326 Angel definitely wasn't the first Weeping, however it was the first time that mechanic got applied to an Endo in an enclosed space
Honestly the "don't look back" hallway is what scares me the most in the game. For one, the way the endo moves towards you as fast as a goddamn bullet is horrifying, and makes me jump even when I know it's going to happen. And secondly, the simple instructions of "don't stop, don't look back" tends to trigger our curiosity. Pretty much every let's player who played the game turned around pretty much instantly. Some players just wanted to see what would happen (even though it's obvious), but some also doubted these instructions. Despite the game never once being wrong or lying to you, for some reason a lot of us tend to think "yea right" when we're given instructions as straightfoward as that.
So basically, I think it's the scariest part because it sorta plays with your brain a bit, and challenges not only curiosity, but also how we trust the instructions given to us in certain contexts
For me it was the "YOU ARE NOT SAFE GO BACK" with Endo R spawning out the locker where Bonnie's guitar is and beelining at you
For me, memory 4 and 5 are one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen. I could say they are a nightmare fuel, but to my shock, I've never had any nightmares about them. But they stuck with me nonetheless.

Should mention that the creator of this fangame went on to help developed "Dark Deception". He's working on one last fan game before permanently shifting focus on Dark Deception and future content.

Now here is the funny thing about the story. Your explanation of it is how it is presented on the surface level. The final story (while not adding too much else) what you didn't grasp and the details of the story the game doesn't make entirely clear that were actually revealed by Nikson himself make the story really unique to me! Basically, it takes place in the "real world," and Scott (not Cawthon) is a game developer who created horror indie franchise Five Nights at Freddy's.
On one fateful night, Scott and his family are attacked by demonic presences taking the shape and form of Freddy and the gang, as well as Michael Afton. What I'm getting at is that Nikson explained that the Ignited Animatronics are demonic entities called "doppelgangers." Demons that feed on suffering fear, taking the physical forms of those fears or scary things (aka the characters from Five Nights at Freddys in this game) and killing whoever they seek to "replace." Michael is not REALLY Michael Afton, and the ignited are NOT REALLY Freddy and crew, Michael is a "doppelganger" who wants to live a normal human live and seeks to replace Scott and use his physical body as a host. The "Ignited" are doppelgangers who simply wish to spread fear and suffering, and they take the forms of the Freddy's characters after seeing the fear it put into the fans of the franchise. This is why Nick goes into a monologue about the "influence of FNAF on the world" before the office level.
Essentially the basement level is canonically THE FIRST PIECE OF THE STORY. The basement (true to form) is actually taking place in hell or the "underworld" and has the doppelganger demons who eventually become the ignited, making a deal with the demon who will eventually take the form of Michael to basically kill Scotts family and allow him to attack and replace Scott, if he allows them passage to the world above. The world of the living. Hence why the basement is structured like a set of escape rooms and why the endos (referred to as "The Fallen") are trying to kill you. They are other demonic presences, trying to stop this deal from going through and "Michael" and the ignited from escaping to the world above.
(Btw, little side note, the whole doppelganger demon's thing also explains why the version of Freddy and the gang in this game are referred to as "The Ignited" due to burns afflicted upon them when trying to breach the barrens of the underworld and safely pass into the real world with Michael. Which is also why he quote "looks like he came out of a bonfire" to Scott's wife in one cutscene and in the opening. He literally came from hell.)
Anyway, the newspapers talking about "evil twins" and other house fires and arson attacks in the area near Scott's home, little bits of dialogue, as well as the entirety of the basement level and what the "eyes" on the tv screens are saying to Michael isn't just meta non-sense. It turns out this FNAF game is about demons who take the form of characters from the franchise in order to enact a violent attack on Scott's (remember NOT Scott Cawthon) family home, only to separate a family, burn down a home, and leave Scott alone with Michael so that the demon can replace him and take on his familial lifestyle. All through the perspective of Nick, Scott's Eldest Son, trying to recall the events years after the traumatizing attack.
All of this info was revealed by Nikson and Phisnom during the 1 Year Anniversary Q&A Video for the game a few years ago. And to me, it actually makes the game really cool. On the surface, it's a silly meta narrative that uses FNAF and its character as a place name for a silly story that isn't all the serious. But it turns out, we just didn't get the full picture (because the game unfortunately doesn't really show or explain any of this, its left vague and was misread when the game first came out.) and when Nikson finally revealed the true story, I went back and played the game again, to find out, this was the story from the beginning, we just (due to a lot of circumstances at the time of release) thought very little of the story and wrote it off as "Scott is who we play as in this game?! WOAH POGGERS COOL META STUFF" when its surprisingly a lot darker and more unique for a FNAF Fan Game, as the gameplay and everything else about this game already is.
So, at least to me, even the story of this game is not something to write off or disregard. It's just unique as everything else this game has to offer as a FNAF Fan Game!

@@Raerae5121 addon: michael is also a demon
I mean didn't Nixon rewrite the story to this because the original premise was that Michael was a real person who made Ignited animatronics to steal Scott's wife? Or am I just misremembering.
Some things to note that you may not have known that I would either like to highlight and/or to clarify:
•Each night has a mini cutscene that occurs if you fail or die in a certain way with each one ending with flashes of Golden Freddy with the text “Come Back” except for Night 5 doing “…”
•Night 4 of the long hallway actually has it where an Endo will at fast speeds chase you down the hallway to where if you even stop for a moment then you may not even make it to the door in time as you just hear the endo getting closer and closer. You however did not encounter this cause you didn’t stop or turn around at all but yeah it may be pretty easy but it’s still pretty easy to mess up as well
•Night 3 has an objective of making it to 6 AM *BUT* you MUST flash Freddy a certain amount of times before the end of the night or else instead of getting the victory you will instead be treated to a power out scenario like in FNaF1, complete with a Freddy playing The Toreador March in the dark
•Golden Freddy can actually kill you in Night 5 where a giant floating head (FNaF2 style) can at times be seen behind you in the hall and if you look at it for about 3-5 seconds then you’ll instantly die to Golden Freddy
•Most if not every night has a secret Golden Freddy appearance somewhere with most nights having it where he can only be found in a certain location while the phone call is on and successfully finding Golden Freddy will spawn somewhere in the room a piece of paper for the story
•In Night 5, the Golden Freddy plushie will actually glitch out the more you flash Golden Freddy on the cameras, almost like a little indicator of your progress on defeating them and making it through the night
•Most, if not all, of the nights have a unique visual that occurs usually when approaching near the end of the night where the environment will look more corrupt such as in Night 2 making the room darker and red while having the designs on the pictures change into an image of the ignited animatronics’ eyes glowing in the dark
•Bit of a nice reference/Easter egg but the area during the cutscene where Freddy attacks and chases Scott throughout the house is based on the original layout and design of the Freddy level in the Joy of Creation: Reborn free roam alpha build of the game.
•And lastly: the Ignited animatronics (and Michael I think as well) are all not the characters that they look like they’re based on but instead are some darker force taking the form and looks of Scott’s creations. It’s something that Scott even says in one of the cutscenes “You are not them- you are just using their faces!” when he was questioning how are they real and who are they and what do they want
It’s nice that people are still talking about this game and how it still holds up to this day, really goes to show how even with its flaws it still has a strong stand even when compared to FNaF fan games nowadays
It’s got it’s problems, for sure, but you can’t say that it isn’t one of the pillars of the Fnaf Fan Game community and influential enough to have some of its mechanics added into security breach , an official Fnaf game.
Where the problems at
Why haven’t you checked out "Tyke & Sons: Lumber Co."? It’s a really cool FNAF game, with interesting daytime and nighttime segments to keep you quaking in your boots.
He may check that one next
I think he did tho
Ah yes I recall quaking in my boots as I grew trees in the daytime segment
Doesn't that game have extremely grindy daytime sections? to the point that the night sections are hours apart?
He did and he loved it
Crazy that this is the best 3D fnaf ever made, even funnier that the visuals are so much better than security breach and the game runs way easier
Correction: In Memory 1, Chica doesn't necessarily kill you but instead shocks you which lowers your sanity , anyways, great video
Also in Memory two, she just stuns you in place. It isn't until The Office where she is able to actually kill you
@@an-animal-lover she can kill you in 1 if your sanity is low enough, and 2 if it's past 5 am
@@an-animal-loverI thought she could kill you when everything turns red
@rarescevei8268 it's been like 7 months since your comment but if I'm not mistaken chica can kill you on memory 1 when your sanity is in the red while in memory 2 she can kill you from 5 am afterwards
The jumpscares are so loud that after half an hour of those you don't fear them anymore. They just hurt your ears.
It's called getting used to them, any horror game be like that

Quick mention on how much the Basement jumpscares are brutal.
The other memories already had brutal jumpscares compared to the rest of the FNAF-like games, but Basement has on a whole other level, especially the one that comes to you during the second phase if you don't go back in the bathroom.
Always loved how on night 5 the raging fire is the countdown clock. That's such a well executed story beat and gameplay mechanic
night 4 is genuinely the most terrifying and tense gameplay i’ve ever gone through. at a point i started crying while i was playing, then i didn’t touch the game for a while haha
Something interesting to me, the way Bonnie works in UCN and how the Endoskeletons work in SB have a striking similarity to how they work in TJOC.
Bonnie in UCN will scramble the cameras if you look at them too much, even if it’s for less time and the endoskeletons in SB are literally just doing the same Weeping Angel gimmick that TJOC does with them.
Not saying it was intentionally copied, but it is interesting.
The endo's were most likely copied, either from their source of Doctor Who's weeping angels or the ignited endo's.
@@awanderer3047 Heck maybe even SCP-173.
@@awanderer3047 I’m guessing the SB section was heavily inspired by TJOC’s mechanic, seeing as there are arcade games featuring the Ignited animatronics in Music Man’s segment.
2:52 BRUH Michael isn't Nick's brother, he's the STRANGER WHO BROKE INTO THEIR HOUSE
One funny thing i noticed about memory 3 is that the flashlight is kinda hard to see at times when used to flash freddy so with the effect on freddys face it makes it look like scott straight up punched freddy in the upper jaw
I'm not sure, I could be remembering wrong, but I remember hearing that the reason Night 3 is so much easier and more chill than the other nights in this game is because it was actually nerfed in an update and used to be really hard. Again, I don't know if this is true or not but I think I've heard that before.
You are remembering correctly, it was nerfed.
@@66Rokers How so?
@@Kathen From memory: Bonnie used to kill you after the 3rd camera breaks. Freddy was a bit more elusive and I think the amount of times you had to stun him was reduced. In addition: Chica's cupcakes became easier to hear and louder.
@@66Rokers ok, thanks!
@@66Rokers That and Bonnie could also kill you if you opened the door he was standing outside of
i absolutely love how fnaf security breach took massive inspiration from TJoC's endo, and how they function. It really goes to show how much scott and his team were involved in their community.
I'm gonna be honest I'm a bit harsher on the story of this game cause I think having it be about Scott and his family being tormented by the animatronics just feels...disrespectful? Idk it just gives me an ick.
idk, Its not neccesoraly dissrespecting its just a fanfiction story that doesn't affect anything, I mean it would be pretty scary for scott but he isn't scared anymore
14:30 while this hallway is the easiest part of the game, if you turn back it quickly becomes the most terrifying one in my opinion. if you do so, Foxy's endo (which is, in my opinion, the scariest) will spawn after like 3 seconds and just come running at extremely fast speeds towards you, which triggers a pretty terrifying jumpscare and sound.
the endo jumpscare literally made me jump- anyway an awesome video, keep up the great work you're literally one of my favorite fnaf-tubers
the first endo by the way, the one you need to stay far away from
I love how TJOC predicted modern fnaf lore, because the first 4 games in the franchise could just be meta games, which is why Help Wanted actively mentions Scott as a real part of the lore.
you didn't have to close the curtain when his arm was there, just when he was staring through the window.
anyway amazing video, really glad u covered this game as it has a special place in my heart
100k alert!! I’ve been subbed since you posted your FNAF Easter egg video, and it’s been awesome watching your channel grow and your content get better and better. Here’s to more good content in the future 🥂🥂🎉🎉
I've played so many fan games and I must say, this is my favorite. The story of this game, the animatronics, the levels (rooms) it's just amazing
6:18 I think that upside down Freddy is there because of the sanity getting so low
That's right
I forgot this existed. The ambience Is actually nuts
Surfshark can get rid of ads?
Now I can trust that!
3:00
Freddy will never attack you when his hand is on the window,BUT once his face is at the window should be shut immediately.
6:18
As I can see, this is sleep paralysis or shadow freddy.
6:52 helpful tip: Foxy is a little faster than Freddy.(meaning foxy should be stopped first.)
10:23
Good news:after breaking a camera, Foxy will never appear in that specific room.
Bad news: after breaking all 3 cameras foxy will not appear at all but bonnie will jumpscare you randomly and that's a game over.(This is really rare.)
I’m pretty sure the animatronics are like, otherworldly creatures taking the form of the animatronics, like, taking the form of popular imaginary things is how they survive, and Mike is like their herald
I'm assuming that you didn't experience the 6AM loss mechanic for The Office memory since you didn't mention it at all. Basically if you didn't "find" (flash) Freddy enough times before you reach 6AM you will be thrown back through a loop where you'd have to try again.
It's so crazy to me the different experiences people can have with this game. So many people had a hard time on level 2 and an easy time on level 3. I completed level 2 in a couple tries, level three took me hours cause I couldn't get enough freddies. I love it though cause luck being involved in victory can make them even more suspensful.
6:12 The sanity mechanic is actually explained in the phone call, but not super well since it presents the sanity like you can actually increase it, rather than just preserve it.
"Okay, so, these monsters might look, umm...surreal... D-Don't look at them too long, or you'll feel weird and...see creepy things! When you do, turn on your desk lamp, next to your bed; you'll feel safe there... But the more stare at the scary monsters, the worse you'll feel..."
You forgot another endo in floor 5 that introduces bonnie version. If i remember correctly if you dont exactly put the items in the incenarator correctly and approach the bathroom, the room will flash red and you see sublime texts until the endo runs up to you and kills you.
In memory 3, if you run out of time, the front doors open and Freddy starts playing March of Toreadors.
13:32 he didn't jump out of the locker (you have to check it for that) he was next to the furnace, you just went too close to him.
The ending still gives me chills… when Scott’s puppeteer’d corpse was repeated that they were safe, how that’s all that should matter right now before glitching and breaking down, Micheal telling him to let him take over things from here
I never thought that I'd ever watch Forager explaining fnaf fangames, but here I am
ahh, i remember watching markiplier play the demo and there was this one part where i think it was freddy (?) was running at him and you could hear the sound of him and everything but you couldn’t see him and then he jump scared him.
that part messed me up good for a couple of months (and i was like what 12 or 13?) i kept checking around me irl and closing doors that didn’t need to be closed. it was only recently that i was able to finally be brave and 😊sit down and watch a playthrough of this game.
safe to say, this is definitely the scariest fnaf game imo, none of the actual fnaf games scared me THAT bad, not even fnaf 4 or sister location (sl because i find ennard to be the most terrifying animatronic yikes)
One of the most terrifying things on TJOC is turning around in the hallway, hearing the impending doom that is approaching.
Funny enough the first thing i think of when tjoc is mentioned is bonnies crazy ass punch i genuinely love it
I know I’m late with this video but I just have to say. Night 4 has some of the scariest jump scares in fnaf history! Super loud and super fast paced.
I’d like to correct something: on night 1, the lamp actually keep you from getting insane. For Foxy, you need to turn off the lamp and sleep
I'm sad you didn't mention the Creation junpscare. It is genuinely the coolest junpscare in the game in my opinion.
correction for night 4: the basement
We play as Micheal
as for the lore:
The Ignited are some sort of entities that can take the appearence of characters from medias (in that case, fnaf characters) their goal is to kill the creator of the character they take form of, to be "immortal", cutscenes and levels are all in wrong order so i'll put it back together:
Basement "Come Back" cutscene: "Micheal" (one of the Ignited) is formed by the fire, taking the appearence if Micheal Smicht (aka: fnaf 1 nightguard)
The Basement Memory: he then wakes up in the bathroom and is instructed who we can assume to be Ignited Golden Freddy, telling Micheal his purpose of existing, to, "Let them out" to do this he needs to do 2 things:
- Give the Igniteds the "shape" of fnaf animatronics, to do this, he simply burns 4 accesories of the characters.
- Open the door which leads to "our reality" because in this level Micheal, the Ignited and the Fallen are in some sort of pocket dimension or something like that
Note: The Fallen are entities who failed to maintain their form, they became corrupted and as such, they would attack Micheal dispite the fact they are the same species
Cutscene where Scott meets Micheal for the first time: he resist the urge to kill Scott directly, call out his name, cutscene proceeds
Bedroom memory and Living room memory: We learn that Micheal doesn't want to kill Scott's family because they are irrelevent to their goal, the main Ignited however would kill anything that stands on their path, after the 2 levels, and after the family gets out of the house (minus Scott) at this exact moment, Scott is stuck in a dimension looking similar to his house, which explains*
Office cutscene and memory: *that when Scott opens Nick's bedroom door, it's an empty void instead, for some reason however, Scott "tried" to survive the Ignited multiple times (kinda proved by the recordings in the Office) how and why Scott just has the ability to try as much as WE can to survive is unknown (probably related to meta stuff involving the player's determination or something like that)
Basement cutscene + Attic memory: Scott gets knocked down by Micheal, then brought to the Attic, Micheal explains the Ignited are "merging" to be one, why? Because if one ignited kills Scott, that would mean that ignited would be immortal, not the others, correct? not sure but thats a theory.
Micheal is keeping Scott alive because he know the Ignited or "Creation" wouldn't trust him anymore for helping Scott's family (even tho I said the family was irrelevent in their goal whatsoever), that is also a theory
at the end, Micheal manage to take over Scott's body, killing him, and would "take care of everything from here" but I think that would be obvious already.
For Nick telling us about the story: After the incident, and the house went to ashes, many years passed where fnaf was no more (as well as its creator) the house did got fixed up, and Nick decides to go back in, for good ol' memories? No, because each time we died in a special way (insanity too low in bedroom memory, got jumpscared too many times by Chica in the living room, etc) something told us to "Come Back", that something is Golden Freddy, and that message wasn't for us, it was for Nick, and if you see the cutscene after Golden Freddy's jumpscare in the Attic, you might understand why Nick was told to COME BACK.
i remember beating this game years ago, watched a guide tho. but i was really happy that i beated it by myself and not my brothers helping, i still remember the moment when i finally finished the final memory without cheating! (ive always been making my fnaf game all unlocked through editing the notepad shit and not playing it)
did ya skip the part about bonnie punching You when he jumps scares you.
Attic has always been my favorite as well, but i would lie if i said that Basement isn't coolest memory and Living Room the hardest, regardless it's each level is unique and refreshing, not to mention actually scary and most of all, actually balanced while still being really challenging, it's just a matter of skill for this game, unfortunately there's some flaws like in any game, the explanations ain't always the best and the story, while being pretty dark and unique, can be upgraded, overall the controls feel pretty snappy and the graphics still hold up to this day, with an optimization that speaks for itself, it's honestly my favorite FNAF Fan Game and i'm really happy that UA-cam actually considered TJOC as an actual game and not FNAF all over again, really looking forward for Ignited Collection as Nickson has revealed some really cool ideas for it.
Attic is nice but I think Basement takes the cake. It's definitely _my_ favorite, at least.
@@ultmateragnarok8376 I can see why
Agree
12:50 bro u were explaining i wasn't expecting that shit 😭
12:17 Just to clarify, in Memory 4 you are actually play as Micheal instead of Scott, take place before the first three nights. Micheal has to do the missions in order to free the Ignited animatronic to the real world
lol yea for the bedroom and living room parts of the game Chica doesn't kill you when get jumpscared by her, her jumpscaring is more of a distraction to let the others jumpscare you
CONGRATS ON THE 100,000 SUBS DUDE! Thank you so much for your awesome videos and for being true to the fnaf series as a whole
"shining the light at Freddy"
*Proceeds to hit him very hard in the right side of his face to his left*
I didn't get that during Memory 3 Freddy is recoiling because of the Flashlight, so I thought Scott was just hitting him over the head with a crowbar 💀
better than the flashlight lmao💀
Bro it looks like freddy gets shot by a gun lol
That’s the exact thing I was thinking at first. Literally a crowbar was my first though 😂😂😂
The office where we play as scott I remember used to be quite harder. I am not sure but I think it used to be that bonnie would also kill you if you'd spot him in a hallway.
Yep, Nikson ended up removing Bonnie being able to kill you at the door. Also Foxy was pretty fucking glitchy before patches.
It might make a bit more sense if I clarify that the Michael Schmidt and the ignited animatronics are quite literally demons that stole the faces of Scott's creations. It's actually pretty similar to the concept of the Mandela Catalogue.
The mandela catalogue before the mandela catalogue
16:19 watch for the 4 endos in the attic on your left and right 2 in each side 1 runner 1 sneaking. Watch for Creation use the stun to force him back, however you also need to use the stun to get golden freddy 13 (2 for each floor of the house plus 1) times. Sometimes Golden Freddy will appear behind you look at him then look back at your computer if you turn around again he is gone
For me in memory 4 “endo r blue” is the scariest like the split second of him running towards you while you cant do anything about it is terrifying
My man went from 99.2k to 99.8k in 2 hours
Great job Plain!
Y'know how FNAF fan games only show the hour and sometimes don't even have an excuse for that? In this game, there's a mug in front of the minute side of the digital clocks. I love this detail.
22:10 if I remember correctly The guy who made this game is also unsatisfied with the story so he is making "The Joy of Creation Collection"
His name is Nickson
You can definitely die on floor 3.
Talking from a markiplier perspective.
If it wasn’t for everything the fans do out of love for this series, fnaf probably would’ve been totally finished by 2018 or 2019 but things like this along with the vhs tapes and the interviews (and countless other fan projects) are what kept my love for fnaf. That is what fnaf should be. Not security breach although I still think it’s okay that it was made
2:53 ah yes, under the crib with your brother, a literal stranger
PlainTrace I don’t know if you read comments but, Roblox has some pretty nifty FNAF fan games. Forgotten memories being 1, and Submarine simulator being the other while submarine simulators story and plot is different it’s inspired by fnaf. You should take a look at Forgotten memories, bring some friends because the gameplay mechanics are very different but amazingly well crafted in my eyes, it also follows it’s own FNAF timeline.
Aight lemme give yall a run down. Text wall incoming.
In this universe, as described through the secret newspaper clippings, (from finding Golden Freddy in the first 4 levels, and honking the plush nose alot iirc in the attic) there is a forest that Scott lives by where ghostly dopple-gangers are showing up and killing the originals supposedly, in a bubble (supposedly) around the area where they are feeding and burning, so that their actions arent discovered. This is the reason the Ignited animatronics and the fallen endos are in the real world, tormenting Scott.
Timeline time.
Basement: In this level you play as Michael. This section actually takes place before the bedroom level, and is the reason the animatronics and endos get out. As the words on the screen show, the entities in the dopple-ganger forest make copies, feed on 'The joy of creation' or in this case, the love for the game from fans around the world, and then burn whats left after it all runs out, IE scott and his house etc. Michael is actually a duplicate of scott, and he is tasked with freeing the IGNITED, not the fallen. He burns the objects to give them shape, (their FNaF gang likeness), and eventually when Michael grabs the key, this opens the barrier into the real world letting the ignited free. The fallen endos on the other hand, WERE possible Ignited animatronics, that failed to cross over into the real world. How this explains Golden Freddy, I dont know, hes kinda glossed over as the leader and puppetmaster having his Golden Freddy form already in the basement scene during some hallucinations from Michael. In this level it is implied that Golden Freddy has a 'boss relation' to Michael and making him do his bidding.
The Bedroom, Living room, and Office scenes are just the natural gameplay, not much story going on there, except possible Chekov's gun mechanics being used for Freddy and later Creation and Golden Freddy, with the flashlight in the eyes thing. (Edit: Michael is giving Scott's family tips to survive so that he can live on as Scott and have a family as explained later.)
Then Attic:
Due to not being able to kill Scott in the office or scotts family, they begin to wither down and start losing their FNaF shape, so with whats left they form Creation, the amalgam, in the basemen as a last ditch attempt to get to Scott.. He has Freddys Face mask, bonnies jaw, chicas feet, and foxys hook and thats all thats left from that point on. As for the endo's, I cant remember, probably the bubble breaking down as explained later. As you begin flashing golden freddy, his plushy keeps getting more static-fied and which can only represent his grip on the bubble that they made for Scott. The flashing in turn causes Golden Freddy to lose control, and the Ignited die, burning with the house. Michael, now free from GF's grip, takes on Scott's identity so he can live with his family since he is a duplicate. But now, since Scott is dead because of Michael, they finish siphoning the Joy of Creation from the world in the FNAF series, and burn the memories of that game and its creator in the minds of all the people who know about FNAF, that is why the levels are called memories and Nick has to 'remember them' by playing the levels. Nick said (i cant remember where) said that no one remembers his dad's old game series, but it is implied that Nick remembers because he got a note from Golden Freddy telling him to comeback, probably to his old house where Golden Freddy can finish off Nick.
Thank you for listening and I hope this answers any details and questions.

@@linktheherooftime5647 on the screens you can see the words "bring him to us". This is by the ignited telling Michael to bring Scott to them
@@lory742G every level after 3 is the father. The father is the one who talks in all of them.
Honestly, it’s between playtime with Percy and Jr. Mostly because the final boss on Percy makes you have to do a lot stuff at once and do it fast, which I like. And Jr is a detective game but the timer is going as fast as sonic, which I also like.
TJoC is an interesting one. I can't say I don't like it - the game is great, as a game. The story.. meh, it wasn't needed and it's weird and convoluted (which does fit the series, admittedly), but it works. I have to say, though, that the Ignited aren't my favorite designs. The concepts are there, sure - these burned, extra-withered animatronics sort of in lieu of the Phantoms, but taken in a different direction - but I don't think they pull it off too well, because the missing casing pieces just look far too deliberate. There's no torn remains at the edges, or additional damage to the pieces around where they're missing, it's just whole pieces neatly removed. Freddy, for example, could've had a massive gash going up the left of his head, to tie it into his missing ear, and also give him more character separate to Withered Freddy, but instead he just has the ear missing and little else. Or Bonnie's chest piece, which easily could've had the bottom and perhaps top still there, with a giant chunk in the middle forcibly torn out or just burned through. The good thing about TJoC's designs, though, is that the Ignited aren't the only ones in play. You also have the Fallen - and, as endos, where the weak points are just the joints since those aren't solid metal that would have to break, their designs make more sense when simply losing pieces modularly. The Fallen are amazing designs, some of my favorite I've ever seen - I love the concept of the characters still going after burning, losing their entire casings and only identifiable by select few details. Creation is very unique as well, with the tripod shape and the sort of Mangle-but-intentional style of limbs - he's quite cool to look at. Ignited Goldie is still kind of a 'meh' design for me. Although, that said, I don't have a clue _where_ Angel, the endo Freddy becomes, gets his hands back from since they're missing from Ignited Freddy and Creation ends up with an extra anyways (though I don't think all the Ignited combined even _with_ Goldie would have enough to really make Creation anyways; he doesn't gain his endo parts from their bodies but seemingly from their essences because demons or whatever).
That said, the nights, or memories rather, definitely are incredibly long for a FNaF game. That's not just to make them harder though - that's because each one is basically several nights. Think back to FNaF 1 - while the animatronics did increase in AI level as the night progresses, that doesn't mean they massively increased - they would go up, at most, 2 or 3 levels. And new threats wouldn't really be added - Foxy in the first night technically activates, but it's so late he doesn't really get the chance to make his run. However, as you go, the nights progressively get harder - Bonnie, then Chica activating on the first, then Foxy coming in on the second, and Freddy after that, with everyone ramping up during and after that point. TJoC can't do that, because every 'night' has a different gameplay loop to it, so it has to have longer nights where everyone comes in throughout and ramps up in difficulty throughout the singular night. And during a shorter one, like 5 or 6 minutes, they would do so incredibly quickly. So, ten minute nights. Except Basement, of course, where things are a little different - but I would honestly say Basement is almost comparable to SL in spirit, being a bunch of minigames and scripted encounters while you do this and that until you've accomplished the level's goals - just with more encounters and longer minigames, rather than SL's short minigames and lengthy encounters.
Also, you mentioned not knowing all of Floor 3 of the Basement. If you look back after the message, an endo with no arms and only one eye will rush you from the end of the hallway, easily catching up to you. The endo in question is Red, who is the remains of Foxy and one of the two which charges you from the doors during Attic - the other being Blue, Bonnie's remains, who appears on whatever Floor the one you have to collect stuff in is called, should you stay too long after being told that It Is Not Safe and you must Turn Back (these mean there are indeed four, not three, endos in Attic. All are visible side-by-side if you die during the furnace floor, watching you burn within it). Angel and Mouth - Freddy and Chica respectively, being the 'eyeless Fallen' (who moves unwatched) and the 'sleeping Fallen' (who attacks anything nearby but does not move), are the two on the cameras there.
My favorite fangame will I think forever be Fazbear Entertainment: Storage, which is a great expansion on how FNaF 2 could've been based on FNaF 1's gameplay. Every game has its problems, and it is no different, but it is fun and satisfying - and the visuals there are great, too.
The Fallens may have been the failed attempt of bringing back the original squad from Golden Freddy, the Ignited came back with their bodies still being recognisable, while still getting damaged by the fire as the price to pay, the Fallens however got destroyed far too much beyond recognition
Yeah. Story I didn't like but the gameplay's good
Just wanted to correct a few things;
-In the bedroom, you said that Michael was Nick's brother, which is not only not true, but you even acknowledged later that he's actually meant to be Michael Afton, so I'm a little confused why you left that in.
-In the office, you said you have to flash Freddy 10 times to win, but it's actually 11 (you're meant to do it once for each of the 12 hours on the clock above the door, but Scott already got him once before the level started, as implied through the final recording, so it's just 11)
-Plenty of people have already said, but you're playing as Mike in the Basement, not Scott. Although, I have to disagree with them on when it takes place; They say it's all in chronological order, and he's meant to be building Creation, leading into the Attic, but it seems more likely to me that it's back at the start of the timeline, when he first awakened in the real world, since the spirits of the Igniteds are basically making him help them get their physical forms so they can manifest too. Plus, the first cutscene of the game shows him being found just outside the Basement door, like he'd just escaped from there.
-In the Attic, you said you had to get G Freddy 13 times (it's only 12, every 2 hits causes a room to catch fire, the final 2 ends it), and that there are only 3 endos, but there are actually 4; 2 who appear on the cams (Endo B & Endo C), and the running ones (Endo R & Endo F, who would've attacked you in the hallway section in the Basement).
Yeah, the basement is the start of it all.
I love these game reviews!
Also, fun fact, the Living Room part of the game was used as a demo for the game. The demo of the Joy of Creation was essentially in the Living Room, except you could not get up and walk around. It was classic FNAF style. Sit and look around. I don't think it was exactly the same. There was no real story yet, some mechanics may have been changed, not sure. The only way to see this version I think is through old gameplay videos from Markiplier or something. I don't believe it is still downloadable, but I may be wrong
There was also no pause button, the TV was only used to see Chica. You had to check on Freddy, Bonnie and Foxy by looking through keyholes. The big middle door had you hide behind the couch.
i love how trace never used the couch like you're supposed to when bonnie busts down the door
The only thing about this game that isn’t top tier is the va and even then it’s not half bad, can’t wait for the remaster to come out on console and pc
There are 4 endos, the one your missing is endo r 'blue", he appears in the basement and will kill you if you don't go back to the bathroom if you see the "come back text" and he also appears in the attic where he comes from the left and acts like endo f "red". Also the endos are called "The Fallen" in the game's extra.

Good job reaching the 100k subscriber mark!🎉
It was a fun experience to see your channel get bigger and better since the first video.
Honestly, congrats on reaching 100 K Subs. You deserve that now. You‘re a cool UA-camr overall and I would like to see more. Anyways, just wait for the joy of creation remastered, were Nikson remasters every signle game of the TJOC series. Yeah
This game mixed the aspect of good gameplay with stunning graphics which is very rare for fnaf fan games as most of them are only concepts published and not really a full game.
Keep growing PlainTrace, and congrats on 100K subs :D
i would say memory 2 was the hardest you have to be pitch perfect for 10 minutes straight

Onaf lover?
the one thing i don't like about the last night is the odds of golden freddy being on the cameras aren't very good
That's kind of the point Cameron
You gotta play Oblitus Casa Such a good horror game man it has the aspects you would want in a fnaf fan game
I wouldn't consider it a good horror game lmao
@@Super-7327 just gotta hype it so plaintrace notice, though the story isn't good but the visuals are amazing it's basically a reskin of most fnaf games
Floor 3 on night 4 is so damn scary if you turn around 😂 all you hear is fast thumping getting louder and louder like sprinting
I agree but its pretty easy to get past it, all you have to do is just hold W
TJOC has got to be one of my favorite fnaf fangames. I love the aesthetic it has and the unique gameplay of each level.
And congrats on 100k PlainTrace! :]🎉
It's crazy how old this fangame is. I used to think it was only popular because it was one of the first free roam fnaf games, but even to this day it still stands as an incredible fangame, not just because of how influential it was. Also, the creator of this game made dark deception which is cool.
i don’t remember if you played it but you should check out project readjusted 3, it’s such an incredible game, and it’s very creative
