Can't deny that...tho when he did show up he did it with style and epicity, tho i can see him keeping track on Afton as something almost impossible, otherwise Afton would have been caught already by the police and such
@@etam8099 I feel like the fact he was completely absent until then Kinda took away from the epicity of it all. It would be nice to have some kind of build up. Even in the books he only exists to be dead and left some stuff behind, a plot device for Charlie and William. I love the FNAF 6 ending as much as the next guy but in retrospect it’s not as good as I remember.
Because it's those finer details that only serve to make things confusing and muddy up the story But looking at a simplified picture of the grander story, it shows essentially the whole story isn't that complex at all, just convoluted by those previously mentioned details

No matter how much Matpat I've watched, I've never understood the lore to this degree. I'm truly taken aback. Thank you so much for explaining it in such astonishing detail. I will go on to spread the word of your wealth of knowledge of the hit series "Five Nights At Freddy's" and how you were able to so easily explain it to even the most minute details.
probably cause when he started killing those five kids he had disguised himself as a staff member, and the hat was part of the uniform. When he was owner he didnt need to wear one.
I left the fanbase around UCN and just came back, had to watch a revolting amount of theories to catch up on the last 4 years. This is the only summary I'll ever 100% believe in. Matpat go home, we've got it.

Wow! This video is funny and high detailed! I sure hope that nothing bad happens to this animator, because many animators DO tend to get a bit quirky at ni- I'm not suprised.
I unironically love how it isn’t in chronological order, probably not intentional but it sorta comes off as if it’s poking fun of how the timeline is so fucked up, shit is all over the place it’s hard to get an idea of where everything is
as someone whose been nonstop invested in the fnaf lore since the 2nd ever game came out,I'm shocked you could articulate something that took me years to understand so damn effectively without even using words
Probably because normal theories dive so deep into it and might not do their research on other theories. This one keeps it simple is was no doubt a collection of previous theories.
me too except i was there since the 3rd game came out (the first three came out very close together) and there’s been so much, theories changing, the story getting more tangled. It’s amazing seeing how it’s progressed
Can you please explain 0:18 ? I dont remember seeing that in any game from 1-6 (the part what springtrap comes out of fazbears fright(?) And william afton does something)
No security breach includes lots of stuff in the lore such as Vanessa and her dead therapists,the Afton family in the afton bot silo,the binary codes on post it notes,Vanny and so much more
henry just completely disappearing until fnaf 6 is the best piece of fnaf lore. he was kinda just chilling running fazbear entertainment through like 20 bankruptcies and closed restaurants until he figured out “oh shit, the souls are trapped” and came back with the milk

This video really makes me think of the fact that FNaF's lore isn't really that complex on it's own, the ways of reading it are. You can form a relatively solid understanding of every story post FNaF4 with just playing the main game and in the case of SL it's custom night, with minimal secret hunting, and while the story of FNaF2 and FNaF3 do require bullshit easter egg hunting to understand if you just look up how to get them they also tell a pretty simple story. FNaF's technology and backgrounds are pretty complex and interesting, probably due to Scott being a science fiction writer at heart, but they're not needed at all for a surface level yet satisfactory explanation of every game's events with minimal theorycrafting.
I think the easter egg/lore telling in FNaF 2 deserves much more credit. the whole Death-minigames were a REALLY creative way to tell a story given how hard the game can be and it became basically a foundation for the series
@@StardustLegend I agree, I really like the FNaF storyline, well at least up to the end of FNaF6 and not including much book stuff, I just feel like the story is given a bit too much credit as a 'complex and contrived storyline'
I just recently catched up with FNAF by just watching the FNAF 6 cutscenes and voila I knew the whole story. It really isn't much. I was also there when people discussed who killed the children and who is purple man, (people assumed Mike, Phone Guy or Jeremy wtf) and I was like: That really isn't difficult. Where do people get their arguments from? You only get confused with FNAF cause 90% of people write bullcrap. Also before taking hours to understand it, people can just watch The Living Thombstones Musicvideos.

My favourite thing about fnaf lore is how many times it wraps itself up into a perfect little ending. In Fnaf 1, it was a short affair; four children missing, presumed dead, suspect arrested, robots smell, place closes down and now we're in this new place, which is part of this fading 80s genre of animatronic establishments. Lots of ominous phrases, lots of ominous imagery. It has a clear beginning, with the murders, and then in the middle the robots smell, bodies never found, bite of 87, and ends with the suspect arrested. Or with you getting fired who knows- Fnaf 2 gives us insight into the initial incident, or so we thought at the time, who knows what it is now- someone stole a suit, a yellow one. Bite of 87 culprits abound, we see the murderer, the puppet plays a role and it's implied to be something more than the rest of the robots, if it ended with 2 we'd have a perfect pair of games with a hidden lore about a strange series of incidents involving a pizza chain from the early 80s to mid-late 90s. Fnaf 3 shows us what became of the murderer, and at the end of the game, the souls are freed, and fazbear's fright burns down, along with everything in it. We now have a beginning with fnaf 2, that shows us the murders and the inception of the spooky, fnaf 1 showing us the middle, and fnaf 3 showing us the end. It puts everything to rest except a few little mysteries, but that's fine. Fnaf 4 intends to clear up the bite of 87, but there's a single date that says 83, so fuck me I guess- is any of that game real? who knows! cool to see the diner, I guess- where there dead kids at this point? who knows, doesn't look like it- one could assume this kid either became golden freddy or the puppet or both, or something, it's fucking messy I don't know anymore. Fnaf, sister location is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA* STOP WHY OH GOD WE DON'T NEED THIS PLEASE JUST LET IT DIE- IT SHOWS US THE PURPLE GUY IS ACTUALLY PURPLE, EVERYTHING IS STUPID, AND IT ENDS ON A CLIFFHANGER FOR PIZZERIA SIMULATOR Pizzeria simulator ends once again, in an attend to wrap up the story. All the significant animatronics are lured to this trap, all the ones that remained. The ones from sister location, the killer himself, who survived- despite him not needing to survive 3 for any real reason, the puppet who- should also be free by now, fuck- anyway, it ties it all together and there we go, it should be over. and then they made help wanted, and god fucking dammit he uploaded his consciousness into the web because we can't just have a dude who killed some kids because some people are monsters- no he's trying to attain immortality with remnant, and killing kids to pioneer new techno death magic shit, and he's back in security breach which is by far the worst thing that's happened to the suspension of disbelief as a concept since it was first described- This series refuses to end until the mystery is solved. Until every mystery is solved- but it can't end now, because it's such a mess that nothing really feels like it has an ending, everything is always called into question by some other stray detail that was thrown in to be ominous and create more mystery, despite scott trying desperately to stop the series. It's okay to leave some things unsolved. It'll keep your story in peoples minds long after they've read it. Fnaf proves it's better to let some loose ends lie.
@@anonymouslucario285 Maybe I was a fan once, I kept up with everything but I looked away for two seconds because it was getting a little ridiculous and when I looked back, it was ground beef spaghetti. in truth I intended it to be a shitpost but I got carried away-

@@tristanhalbert5813 i mean sister location told us the reason the nightguard was staying for all 5 nights on the games With Micheal being the protagonist and having a reason to work at the pizzerías and find His father was a good twist Which explained who burned the fnaf3 place and Freed all the souls And pizzería sim was a great finale in my eyes UCN didn't change much on the Lore so it was fine But when help wanted and security breach came out the Lore got real bad for me since i truly believe PS and UCN were great endings to a great series
From what i understand from this.... Purple Guy killed a bunch of children, the animatronics got jumped or whatever.... Some dude led the animatronics to a place, blew them up, and one survived.
Interestingly, the two games after Ultimate Custom Night (where Afton is canonically burning in hell) actually imply a copy of his conciseness existed on the data chip of the Springtrap Bonnie suit, and that Burntrap isn’t actually the real Afton, but rather Glitchtrap, who is from Help Wanted, despite his body still being in the suit. It gets frickin’ weird after Pizzaria Sim, not that it wasn’t already weird.
@@wonkwev Then Help Wanted was a nice boot for something new only to go back at where we were, child spirits inside a spaghetti of animatronics and fucking William Afton back.
@@nickolas78gr24 If they had stuck with "Afton created a program based off of himself to continue the killing", that would have been interesting. No ghosts, no possession, just a murderous computer virus. You'd be setting up firewalls to keep the animatronics mostly safe, or something like that. Unfortunately, they decided to go the "safe" route of rehashing the old.
Can we just appreciate that this is actually almost entirely accurate… only thing I would have added is the ghost being thrown into one of the suits… But this actually sums up the fnaf lore really well…
I haven’t been a fan of FNAF for a couple years, but my brother got Security Breach for Christmas and we played it together. I’m not that caught up in lore (and I don’t really care tbh) but I have to admit. The game was fun. Like really fun. Mega frustrating at some points but it’s playable.
glad it was fun for you guys but if you were to compare it to the likeness of the previous games, it's way too different. I wish the people that worked on it gave it more time to especially flesh out the mechanics, atmosphere, and some of the "big" threats that dont end up actually doing much. Though tbh, the vision alone lent it to become a much more kiddie-fied version of regular fnaf games. Kinda wish Scott's last involvement in the series wouldve been something with a bit more heart to the core of the franchise but eh.
okay so.. William Afton and Henry Emily opened a restaurant around the early 70s, named Fredbear's Family Diner, which quickly evolved into a chain of restaurants known as "Freddy Fazbear's Pizza," started in 1983, under the company of Fazbear Entertainment, Inc. At some point, both of them left the company, with an unknown individual taking over as CEO. William was secretly a serial killer, using mascot costumes to lure, abduct, and murder kids. His motives aren't known, though widely speculated to be him trying to achieve immortality through researching the paranormal, haunted metal (known as remnant), which he created through the murders. His first target was Charlotte Emily, the daughter of Henry. She became the Marionette, a ghost who took care of and helped awaken the other lost souls. In 1983, William's younger son also died in an incident, at the fault of his eldest - Michael. The younger son (name unknown, BV for short) 's fate is still unknown, though often speculated to be connected to either Golden Freddy (an enigmatic spirit taking the form of a yellow bear) or helping Charlie with saving other souls. "I will put you back together" was the last thing said to BV by a debatable party, most commonly believed to be either William, Charlie, or Golden Freddy. In 1985, William killed 2 kids, and 3 others were later connected to that incident (The Missing Children Incident, or MCI). He was arrested but released due to a lack of evidence. 4 of these kids were Gabriel, Susie, Little Jeremy, and Fritz, going on to haunt Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, respectively, with Susie implied to have been the first to die. The 5th is commonly believed to be named Cassidy, becoming Golden Freddy, though some think it's someone else. In 1987, William pretended to be a security guard at a new Pizzeria and killed 5 more kids (DCI for short), who went on to be the Toy animatronics. This caused the unimportant Bite of '87. In 1993, Mike worked a shift at the haunted original Freddy's. Later that year, the location was closed, and the company went bankrupt. He later had some sort of nightmares about it and his brother's death, likely paranormal in nature. At some point, William went to that original Freddy's to destroy the 4 haunted robots, but ghosts manifested, and fearing for his life, he put on the costume he used to kill them. It was actually a part costume part robot hybrid, though, and due to the leaking roof, the machine snapped on him, killing him. He went on to haunt it and/or his corpse inside. While Freddy's existed, a Sister Location called "Circus Baby's Pizza World" opened. It was a front for William to kill more kids, with the robots there made to kidnap them. It backfired when his daughter sneaked in to see Baby, and it killed her. She then haunted it. William, distraught, locked her and the other robots from there in an underground warehouse where they were rented out for parties. The other robots also got haunted somehow, likely with melted down remnant from some other kids, most likely MCI. Years later, William sent Mike there to find Elizabeth. Thinking he was William, she tricked him, and the Funtime Robots combined into one amalgam of wires, killed Mike, and used his corpse as a skin suit to escape. He quickly rotted, and they had to escape to the sewers. He repossessed his corpse thanks to remnant, though. Around 30 years after his death (presumably 2023, though that may be debunked now), William was found by Phone Dude, who stole him and put him into his cheap horror attraction based on the Freddy's urban legends, not knowing William was inside the robot. After a few nights, the building burned down, and William escaped. There's also a good ending in that game where Charlie released the other spirits, but its canonicity is "complicated" according to Scott (FNaF creator). Mike also had a security logbook at some point, where two ghosts, BV and presumably Cassidy (given it's not him), talked about something. Finally, after like 50 years, Henry re-emerged and made a fake pizzeria, where he called the Funtime robots, now separated from Elizabeth, herself, and William. He also made a robot that captured Charlie. After a bunch of managers failed to collect all 4 robots, Mike came and succeeded. Henry burned them all and himself, with high temperatures now revealed to work on ghosts, apparently. Fazbear Entertainment, Inc. was supposedly closed for good. But one ghost, very highly implied to be Golden Freddy, though argued as a random never-before-seen 6th MCI kid by some, wasn't ready to let William go, so he kept him from being released and tortured him in super nightmares. After all this, Fazbear Entertainment was revived as Fazbear Entertainment, LLC. They kidnapped a guy and gaslighted him into living in a secluded fake house they made for him, where he made FNAF games, in the FNaF universe, as to make it seem like it was all just fake stories. A VR game was later made, that was a remake of these, but some suspecious circuit boards were sent to be scanned into it, creating a paranormal, digital entity known as Glitchtrap. It appears as a man in Spring Bonnie (William's suit), acts exactly like William, knows stuff only William knows and even claims to be back, with William's catchphrase of sorts being "I always come back". After a bit of shenanigans, it manages to possess a beta tester and makes her his minion. We call her Vanny. Vanessa, most likely Vanny, then got a desk job at Fazbear Entertainment. Fazbear Funtime Service, a program where animatronics were mass produced and sent for parties, etc. got hijacked by Glitchtrap who made them hostile. He made Vanessa infiltrate the service as a fake FazEnt representative, supposedly fix his infection, but actually just cut off anyone's access to the system other than him, and send a data packet with him to the current Pizzeria - Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex. In one of the books from the book series, not canon, there's this AI called Mimic1, which copies stuff. Many think that's actually what Glitchtrap is, just AI copying William. It's an ongoing debate. An Endoskeleton with it installed was sent to the last simulated Freddy's Henry built to burn, where it got out of control, started killing people and in the ongoing story is hunting down a group of teens. As the Pizzaplex was built on top of the simulated Freddy's, the Mimic got control over it too, but was quickly taken down. There's also this boy Gregory who ended up possessed by Glitchtrap and hacking the Pizzaplex for reasons unknown. Now in Security Breach (possibly 2035), Gregory, out of Glitchtrap's control, had to escape being trapped in the Pizzaplex, as all the robots controlled by Glitchtrap and Vanny wanted to kill him. With the help of Glamrock Freddy, most likely haunted by someone, though it's unknown who, Greg ended up finding a newly built Springtrap in the simulated Freddy's and somehow defeating it. There's also a giant abomination of wires that resambles the Funtime amalgam down there, it took this William away. W lore?
This is quite literally one of the best in calculations of the modern-day theories on the lore because it literally has two very tiny problems A: Afton getting spring locked most likely happens after sister location B: Michael was in the pizzeria fire Minus that I cannot stress this enough this 52nd video quite literally explains all of it perfectly
Well, there's a thing with all 3 things mentioned here, Ion cars and bytes & T C Z A. In the ending to Sister Location Custom Night, in the cutscene *after* it shows Michael vomiting Ennard into the sewers, it shows Springtrap (sorry if you didn't know) B. It shows Michael (as his corpse) setting Springtrap on fire, catching himself on fire in the process, signifying that he technically *was* in the fire? I'm sort of reaching for that one, but I guess one could imagine. C. Yes, Ennard was the one who went into Michael after he got scooped, but it simply shows Circus Baby because she was the one who primarily took control of Ennard, controlling them.
this is actually pretty accurate, also valid about the SB stuff. Im not playing it until it gets a major patch and actually makes a tad bit of sense lore wise.
Clearly you are not a dedicated FNAF fan. I'm just joking, I'm not gonna pull a Twitter on you and call you stupid for not understanding the SL lore or something XD Personally though, I consider the series to be over at UCN, because the other games are what make the lore TRULY messy. I'm not mad about new games at all, but IMO, they should've made a new main villain in the series (they had there chance with Vanny but fucked it up), maybe someone who was INSPIRED by William Afton and wanted to keep his image alive while he burned in hell or something LOL
Five Nights at Freddy's (FNaF) is a media franchise created by Scott Cawthon. The first video game of the same name was released on August 8, 2014, and the resultant series has since gained worldwide popularity. The main series consists of nine video games taking place in locations connected to a fictional family pizza restaurant franchise named "Freddy Fazbear's Pizza", after its mascot, the animatronic bear Freddy Fazbear. In most games, the player assumes the role of a night-time employee, who must utilize tools such as security cameras, lights, doors, and vents to defend themselves against hostile animatronic characters that inhabit the locations. The series' lore is gradually revealed through voice recordings, minigames, and Easter eggs featured throughout the games. The franchise also includes spin-off games and other media, such as a novel trilogy and an anthology series, comprising an all-encompassing fictional universe. The franchise maintains an active fanbase, known for its production of fan art and fangames, and merchandise for the games is available internationally.
As someone who spent a lot of time trying to map out the lore, and justify why the anime cutscenes in ucn are actually canon, this is on point and articulate
@@DustySiren I personally disagree. I believe that they are canon, in that the kids who grew up with the Freddy's Pizzeria became adults and became nostalgic for the place, despite the eerie vibes. So what do fans do? They create content. They create stuff like fan animation. So, the anime cutscenes are canon fan-animation by the freddy pizzeria fandom that grew. Then Fazbear entertainment saw this fan interest and used it to create the Fazbear fright experience.
I don't know why Scott thought it would be good to increase the lore so much. The game's story could have ended with William's death and remained solemnly with a single protagonist, the night guard who would be his son Michael, looking for him in 3 pizzerias (FNAF 1, 2 and 3) and ending in FNAF 4 and UCN as an explanation of the guard's past and the killer's hell. No Pizzaplex, no Sister Location, no Pizzeria Simulator. Just these 5 games. The movie would have a much easier job to adapt this story.
I like how after I watched an entire lore discussion, they magically find their way into other peoples mind, and now I can see what others tend to think and they learned
Security Breach is basically just Michael coming back as Feddy and Gregory commits mass animatronic destruction and also puts William back into his wheelchair.
I was expecting to see PeePaw Willy on his wheelchair at the end but it’s still great. And Security Breach in a nutshell is “Freddy becomes a dad and a comfort character”.
While a random orphan tries to Escape a pizza place full of murderous animatronics and some dude in a Bunny suit (no seriosly how did Gregory get here)
The beginning of the lore takes place in Five Nights at Freddy’s 4. In 1983, a diner is started by William Afton and Henry Emily known as “Fredbear’s Family Diner.” The men worked together to create three animatronics: Fredbear, Spring Bonnie, and the puppet/Marionette, though the main focus will be Fredbear and Spring Bonnie. These animatronics could walk around the location and be used as robots or be worn by employees as costume. However, there was one thing about the suits: they were equipped with “spring locks.” These spring locks would activate when in contact with water/moisture and close as if they were attaching to the endoskeleton animatronic. In the game, the player takes the role of an unnamed boy, commonly known as the “Crying Child,” who was the youngest son of William Afton. The Crying Child (which will be referred to as CC) had an irrational fear of the animatronics (hence why he is referred to as the crying child, due to him always crying), and was constantly taunted by his older brother, Michael. One of the CC’s birthdays was held at Fredbear’s Family Diner, and Michael, along with his friends, decided to play a prank of the CC. They picked the boy up and held his head in the mouth of Fredbear; however, they forgot one important detail: the springlocks are activated by moisture. The CC’s tears activated the springlocks, and CHOMP. Crying Kid Cuisine. This would become the infamous “Bite of ‘83.” During this time, William Afton would also have his first target: the daughter of Henry Emily. William Afton’s first signs of insanity are his experimentations with life and death. He brings this up with Henry Emily and leads to a large argument. As William drives home from Henry’s house, he finds Henry’s daughter standing outside of the restaurant by herself. The rage from their conversation leads to the demise of Henry’s daughter. This would become the first of many murders by Afton. 1. Circus Baby’s Entertainment and Rental The next game in the timeline would be Sister Location. In the same year (1983), a sister location of Fredbear’s Family Diner was opened: “Circus Baby’s Entertainment and Rental.” The purpose of this location was to use other animatronics created by William Afton at birthday parties. These animatronics would become known as the “Funtimes”: Funtime Freddy and BonBon, Funtime Foxy, Circus Baby, Ballora and the Minirinas, and Bidybab. The player, who is later identified as an undercover Michael Afton (alias name: Mike Schmidt), navigates through the underground facility, guided by Circus Baby, to avoid getting killed by the other animatronics. In the beginning of the game, a conversation between William Afton and his daughter Elizabeth plays, and Elizabeth begs her father to go see Circus Baby and mentions that she is able to give children ice cream through her stomach hatch and claw. In a cutscene later in the game, Elizabeth gets into contact with Circus Baby, but she malfunctions and the claw reaches out, grabbing Elizabeth and killing her. This shows that these animatronics’ main function is to kill children. Another animatronic, Ennard, exists within the location. Ennard is a clown-like, amalgamation of parts from the other animatronics and is the main protagonist in “Sister Location.” From how he appears, he may have been an older animatronic that was put out of commission. He is a piece of all the other Funtime animatronics, therefore, he has a level of “control” over them. Because of this, Michael realizes that Circus Baby isn’t helping him, but rather leading him to his demise. Inside the sister location, there is a room called the “Scooping Room.” Within this room is a large crane-like machine and a floor scattered with animatronic parts. The room’s sole purpose is to rip the outer layer of the animatronic off of the endoskeleton to use those pieces for spare parts. However, Michael ends up becoming a victim of this machine and quite literally gets his insides scooped. During this process, Ennard manages to insert himself inside of Michael, and becomes “undead.” This is shown in the “You Won’t Die” cutscene after the last night. Michael’s skin becomes a deep shade of purple and regurgitates pieces of Ennard into the sewer as Circus Baby repeats “You won’t die” in the background. Ladies and gentlemen, this is “Purple Guy.” However, he is not the only one, nor the first. 1. Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza (The First One) Backtracking a bit, William Afton has his first victim: Henry Emily’s daughter. After this is reported and Afton is interrogated and cleared, Fredbear’s Family Diner is closed for an unknown reason. Time skip to a year later, 1984, Fredbear’s is bought out by another company. Fazbear Entertainment takes over and they reopen the restaurant as “Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza,” which correlates with the theme of FNAF 2. One of the old suits from Fredbear’s is kept (Spring Bonnie) and a new cast is built: the main 4 animatronics. This includes Foxy the Pirate, Freddy Fazbear, Chica, and Bonnie; however, these are scrapped and kept for parts due to them not being “child friendly,” and would become the withered animatronics. Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica get a new design as Toy Animatronics in addition to Balloon Boy and the Puppet/Marionette. An old model of Funtime Foxy is reused as a “Toy Foxy,” though it was turned into a “take-apart, put-back-together” interactive attraction for little kids and it was renamed by guests “The Mangle.” The Marionette plays a vital role in the FNAF universe and will become a heroic character in the lore. It is speculated that the puppet animatronic had existed in Fredbear’s as a prize counter vendor. In Pizzeria Simulator, the puppet is seen navigating outside the diner’s walls and finding the soul of Henry Emily’s daughter after her death. The soul is passed onto the Marionette and becomes a protector of children in these establishments. Back to FNAF 2, in this location, a total of 5 children end up going missing which is later titled the ‘Missing Children Incident’. This is later revealed to be Afton’s doing, in which he uses the Spring Bonnie suit to lure children individually to the back safe room and murders them. Later on in the game, a character featured in the first 2 games “Phone Guy” mentions an opening in the day shift. A cutscene in the third game suggests that William Afton had been haunted by the crying souls of his victims from the Missing Children Incident, and was cornered in the safe room by the ghosts before jumping into the Spring Bonnie suit on a stormy night. The room suffered severe water damage and had leaking through the ceiling, as it is shown that there is a puddle on the floor and water dripping from the roof. As Afton laughs at the children while wearing the suit, he quickly stops and drops to his knees. The springlocks activated from the rain leaking into the room and his sweating after being chased by one of the souls. Afton drops to the floor, signifying the end of his life. The player is in the shoes of Jeremy Fitzgerald, a night-time security guard. Unfortunately, Jeremy has a terrible accident on one of the days he is working, which would be the fifth night in-game. Based on the appearance of their jumpscare, it is safe to say Mangle is responsible for the incident of Jeremy losing his frontal lobe, also known as the “Bite of ‘87.” The extra nights are taken over by Mike Schmidt (Michael Afton) and is warned by Phone Guy that he shouldn’t be there due to an “incident.” The restaurant closed and reopened in a time period around 1992. 1. Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza (The Second One) At the re-reopening, which correlates with the first game published in the series (FNAF 1), the four scrapped animatronics from the first Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza set the scene for the most recognizable characters in the series. This is where the puppet’s scene from Pizzeria Simulator becomes important. A question most fans asked: how did the animatronics become possessed? At the end of Pizzeria Simulator, one of the endings plays a long monologue that is interpreted as Henry Emily, which covers the topic of his young daughter and how he knows it is in her nature to be protecting innocent people. This personality trait was passed onto the Marionette, hence why their role is to protect children from getting hurt by Afton. The lost souls of the kids from the Missing Children Incident were “gifted life,” as shown in the “Gift Gives, Gift Life” minigame from FNAF 2. However, there was another soul left: the Crying Child. Due to the Crying Child dying to the Fredbear animatronic in Fredbear’s Family Diner, he was gifted the Fredbear animatronic to possess, but the only problem was the physical animatronic was scrapped. This allowed the Crying Child to exist “in spirit,” which would be the origins of Golden Freddy, a rare animatronic that pops up randomly in FNAF 1. This game doesn’t consist much lore compared to the others, considering it’s the first game in the series, besides the fact that Phone Guy dies in this game on the fifth night which proves the theory that FNAF 2 is a prequel to the first game, since Phone Guy is still alive in the second installment. It has been theorized that the bodies of the children are located somewhere inside of the animatronics because of the newspaper clippings from the end of the game when it is beat, they describe the restaurant closing due to bad odors and liquids oozing from the animatronics. It closed sometime around 1993. At this point in the timeline, there isn’t much explanation on what happened over the next 30 or so years after the closing of the second restaurant. Personally, I have not read them, but as far as I know, they are not completely canon.
what do you mean years? mattpatt still hasn't stopped trying to retain a community based on "will I or won't I?" level descriptions and kinda explanations of anything on the face of the planet.

Henry being completely irrelevant till the very end is SO accurate.
Can't deny that...tho when he did show up he did it with style and epicity, tho i can see him keeping track on Afton as something almost impossible, otherwise Afton would have been caught already by the police and such
@@etam8099 I feel like the fact he was completely absent until then Kinda took away from the epicity of it all. It would be nice to have some kind of build up. Even in the books he only exists to be dead and left some stuff behind, a plot device for Charlie and William. I love the FNAF 6 ending as much as the next guy but in retrospect it’s not as good as I remember.

Paradoxically, the less detail you explain the lore with, the more accurate it gets.
Because it's those finer details that only serve to make things confusing and muddy up the story
But looking at a simplified picture of the grander story, it shows essentially the whole story isn't that complex at all, just convoluted by those previously mentioned details
Because there are less mistakes to make.
well i mean, most "lore" is just other people's speculations and own theories that are just widely accepted. So you are very right.

@@sherrie_ yes you're definitely right
This video really makes me think of the fact that FNaF's lore isn't really that complex on it's own, the ways of reading it are. You can form a relatively solid understanding of every story post FNaF4 with just playing the main game and in the case of SL it's custom night, with minimal secret hunting, and while the story of FNaF2 and FNaF3 do require bullshit easter egg hunting to understand if you just look up how to get them they also tell a pretty simple story. FNaF's technology and backgrounds are pretty complex and interesting, probably due to Scott being a science fiction writer at heart, but they're not needed at all for a surface level yet satisfactory explanation of every game's events with minimal theorycrafting.
I think the easter egg/lore telling in FNaF 2 deserves much more credit. the whole Death-minigames were a REALLY creative way to tell a story given how hard the game can be and it became basically a foundation for the series
@@StardustLegend I agree, I really like the FNaF storyline, well at least up to the end of FNaF6 and not including much book stuff, I just feel like the story is given a bit too much credit as a 'complex and contrived storyline'
I just recently catched up with FNAF by just watching the FNAF 6 cutscenes and voila I knew the whole story. It really isn't much.
I was also there when people discussed who killed the children and who is purple man, (people assumed Mike, Phone Guy or Jeremy wtf) and I was like: That really isn't difficult. Where do people get their arguments from? You only get confused with FNAF cause 90% of people write bullcrap.
Also before taking hours to understand it, people can just watch The Living Thombstones Musicvideos.

I was so confused until I saw this video. It's such an accurate, detailed and clear representation of what happened. Truly a must watch for people who are just joining the fandom 👍
My favourite thing about fnaf lore is how many times it wraps itself up into a perfect little ending.
In Fnaf 1, it was a short affair; four children missing, presumed dead, suspect arrested, robots smell, place closes down and now we're in this new place, which is part of this fading 80s genre of animatronic establishments. Lots of ominous phrases, lots of ominous imagery. It has a clear beginning, with the murders, and then in the middle the robots smell, bodies never found, bite of 87, and ends with the suspect arrested. Or with you getting fired who knows-
Fnaf 2 gives us insight into the initial incident, or so we thought at the time, who knows what it is now- someone stole a suit, a yellow one. Bite of 87 culprits abound, we see the murderer, the puppet plays a role and it's implied to be something more than the rest of the robots, if it ended with 2 we'd have a perfect pair of games with a hidden lore about a strange series of incidents involving a pizza chain from the early 80s to mid-late 90s.
Fnaf 3 shows us what became of the murderer, and at the end of the game, the souls are freed, and fazbear's fright burns down, along with everything in it. We now have a beginning with fnaf 2, that shows us the murders and the inception of the spooky, fnaf 1 showing us the middle, and fnaf 3 showing us the end. It puts everything to rest except a few little mysteries, but that's fine.
Fnaf 4 intends to clear up the bite of 87, but there's a single date that says 83, so fuck me I guess- is any of that game real? who knows! cool to see the diner, I guess- where there dead kids at this point? who knows, doesn't look like it- one could assume this kid either became golden freddy or the puppet or both, or something, it's fucking messy I don't know anymore.
Fnaf, sister location is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA* STOP WHY OH GOD WE DON'T NEED THIS PLEASE JUST LET IT DIE- IT SHOWS US THE PURPLE GUY IS ACTUALLY PURPLE, EVERYTHING IS STUPID, AND IT ENDS ON A CLIFFHANGER FOR PIZZERIA SIMULATOR
Pizzeria simulator ends once again, in an attend to wrap up the story.
All the significant animatronics are lured to this trap, all the ones that remained. The ones from sister location, the killer himself, who survived- despite him not needing to survive 3 for any real reason, the puppet who- should also be free by now, fuck- anyway, it ties it all together and there we go, it should be over.
and then they made help wanted, and god fucking dammit he uploaded his consciousness into the web because we can't just have a dude who killed some kids because some people are monsters- no he's trying to attain immortality with remnant, and killing kids to pioneer new techno death magic shit, and he's back in security breach which is by far the worst thing that's happened to the suspension of disbelief as a concept since it was first described-
This series refuses to end until the mystery is solved. Until every mystery is solved- but it can't end now, because it's such a mess that nothing really feels like it has an ending, everything is always called into question by some other stray detail that was thrown in to be ominous and create more mystery, despite scott trying desperately to stop the series.
It's okay to leave some things unsolved. It'll keep your story in peoples minds long after they've read it. Fnaf proves it's better to let some loose ends lie.
Are you venting?

And pizzería sim was a great finale in my eyes
UCN didn't change much on the Lore so it was fine
But when help wanted and security breach came out the Lore got real bad for me since i truly believe PS and UCN were great endings to a great series
From what i understand from this.... Purple Guy killed a bunch of children, the animatronics got jumped or whatever.... Some dude led the animatronics to a place, blew them up, and one survived.
There's a lot more to it, FNAF is too complicated lol. You can search some videos that further explain the lore, I recommend The Game Theorists
Interestingly, the two games after Ultimate Custom Night (where Afton is canonically burning in hell) actually imply a copy of his conciseness existed on the data chip of the Springtrap Bonnie suit, and that Burntrap isn’t actually the real Afton, but rather Glitchtrap, who is from Help Wanted, despite his body still being in the suit.
It gets frickin’ weird after Pizzaria Sim, not that it wasn’t already weird.
pizzeria simulator is the true ending, literally everything after is just the same as the last game just with slight changes

But every important event Is covered by this video
I hope the person who made this animation has a nice relationship😊
Yeah, they totally have not threatened their partner with a knife. *wink wink*
I haven’t been a fan of FNAF for a couple years, but my brother got Security Breach for Christmas and we played it together. I’m not that caught up in lore (and I don’t really care tbh) but I have to admit. The game was fun. Like really fun. Mega frustrating at some points but it’s playable.
it kinda verges away from actual fnaf, stops being scary and there was more lore in silver eyes than the game
@@jaoofy the lore of running around sim or Security Breach is that
rabbit girl hacks robots and then william burns for the 5th time this week
Same the lore is such a huge mess at this point
glad it was fun for you guys but if you were to compare it to the likeness of the previous games, it's way too different. I wish the people that worked on it gave it more time to especially flesh out the mechanics, atmosphere, and some of the "big" threats that dont end up actually doing much. Though tbh, the vision alone lent it to become a much more kiddie-fied version of regular fnaf games. Kinda wish Scott's last involvement in the series wouldve been something with a bit more heart to the core of the franchise but eh.
@@pokaay3163 well the game was rushed so it's kind of both steel wool and fan's fault for the outcome of the game
This takes some of the most complicated storylines and confusing lore I’ve seen in a series and accurately compresses it into 46 seconds. Good job.
I remember a roommate having me sit through an explanation video and endlessly talking about it. It really was incredible how much I didn't care.

okay so..
William Afton and Henry Emily opened a restaurant around the early 70s, named Fredbear's Family Diner, which quickly evolved into a chain of restaurants known as "Freddy Fazbear's Pizza," started in 1983, under the company of Fazbear Entertainment, Inc. At some point, both of them left the company, with an unknown individual taking over as CEO.
William was secretly a serial killer, using mascot costumes to lure, abduct, and murder kids. His motives aren't known, though widely speculated to be him trying to achieve immortality through researching the paranormal, haunted metal (known as remnant), which he created through the murders.
His first target was Charlotte Emily, the daughter of Henry. She became the Marionette, a ghost who took care of and helped awaken the other lost souls.
In 1983, William's younger son also died in an incident, at the fault of his eldest - Michael. The younger son (name unknown, BV for short) 's fate is still unknown, though often speculated to be connected to either Golden Freddy (an enigmatic spirit taking the form of a yellow bear) or helping Charlie with saving other souls. "I will put you back together" was the last thing said to BV by a debatable party, most commonly believed to be either William, Charlie, or Golden Freddy.
In 1985, William killed 2 kids, and 3 others were later connected to that incident (The Missing Children Incident, or MCI). He was arrested but released due to a lack of evidence. 4 of these kids were Gabriel, Susie, Little Jeremy, and Fritz, going on to haunt Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, respectively, with Susie implied to have been the first to die. The 5th is commonly believed to be named Cassidy, becoming Golden Freddy, though some think it's someone else.
In 1987, William pretended to be a security guard at a new Pizzeria and killed 5 more kids (DCI for short), who went on to be the Toy animatronics. This caused the unimportant Bite of '87.
In 1993, Mike worked a shift at the haunted original Freddy's. Later that year, the location was closed, and the company went bankrupt. He later had some sort of nightmares about it and his brother's death, likely paranormal in nature.
At some point, William went to that original Freddy's to destroy the 4 haunted robots, but ghosts manifested, and fearing for his life, he put on the costume he used to kill them. It was actually a part costume part robot hybrid, though, and due to the leaking roof, the machine snapped on him, killing him. He went on to haunt it and/or his corpse inside.
While Freddy's existed, a Sister Location called "Circus Baby's Pizza World" opened. It was a front for William to kill more kids, with the robots there made to kidnap them. It backfired when his daughter sneaked in to see Baby, and it killed her. She then haunted it. William, distraught, locked her and the other robots from there in an underground warehouse where they were rented out for parties. The other robots also got haunted somehow, likely with melted down remnant from some other kids, most likely MCI. Years later, William sent Mike there to find Elizabeth. Thinking he was William, she tricked him, and the Funtime Robots combined into one amalgam of wires, killed Mike, and used his corpse as a skin suit to escape. He quickly rotted, and they had to escape to the sewers. He repossessed his corpse thanks to remnant, though.
Around 30 years after his death (presumably 2023, though that may be debunked now), William was found by Phone Dude, who stole him and put him into his cheap horror attraction based on the Freddy's urban legends, not knowing William was inside the robot. After a few nights, the building burned down, and William escaped. There's also a good ending in that game where Charlie released the other spirits, but its canonicity is "complicated" according to Scott (FNaF creator).
Mike also had a security logbook at some point, where two ghosts, BV and presumably Cassidy (given it's not him), talked about something.
Finally, after like 50 years, Henry re-emerged and made a fake pizzeria, where he called the Funtime robots, now separated from Elizabeth, herself, and William. He also made a robot that captured Charlie. After a bunch of managers failed to collect all 4 robots, Mike came and succeeded. Henry burned them all and himself, with high temperatures now revealed to work on ghosts, apparently. Fazbear Entertainment, Inc. was supposedly closed for good.
But one ghost, very highly implied to be Golden Freddy, though argued as a random never-before-seen 6th MCI kid by some, wasn't ready to let William go, so he kept him from being released and tortured him in super nightmares.
After all this, Fazbear Entertainment was revived as Fazbear Entertainment, LLC. They kidnapped a guy and gaslighted him into living in a secluded fake house they made for him, where he made FNAF games, in the FNaF universe, as to make it seem like it was all just fake stories.
A VR game was later made, that was a remake of these, but some suspecious circuit boards were sent to be scanned into it, creating a paranormal, digital entity known as Glitchtrap. It appears as a man in Spring Bonnie (William's suit), acts exactly like William, knows stuff only William knows and even claims to be back, with William's catchphrase of sorts being "I always come back". After a bit of shenanigans, it manages to possess a beta tester and makes her his minion. We call her Vanny.
Vanessa, most likely Vanny, then got a desk job at Fazbear Entertainment. Fazbear Funtime Service, a program where animatronics were mass produced and sent for parties, etc. got hijacked by Glitchtrap who made them hostile. He made Vanessa infiltrate the service as a fake FazEnt representative, supposedly fix his infection, but actually just cut off anyone's access to the system other than him, and send a data packet with him to the current Pizzeria - Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex.
In one of the books from the book series, not canon, there's this AI called Mimic1, which copies stuff. Many think that's actually what Glitchtrap is, just AI copying William. It's an ongoing debate. An Endoskeleton with it installed was sent to the last simulated Freddy's Henry built to burn, where it got out of control, started killing people and in the ongoing story is hunting down a group of teens. As the Pizzaplex was built on top of the simulated Freddy's, the Mimic got control over it too, but was quickly taken down. There's also this boy Gregory who ended up possessed by Glitchtrap and hacking the Pizzaplex for reasons unknown.
Now in Security Breach (possibly 2035), Gregory, out of Glitchtrap's control, had to escape being trapped in the Pizzaplex, as all the robots controlled by Glitchtrap and Vanny wanted to kill him. With the help of Glamrock Freddy, most likely haunted by someone, though it's unknown who, Greg ended up finding a newly built Springtrap in the simulated Freddy's and somehow defeating it. There's also a giant abomination of wires that resambles the Funtime amalgam down there, it took this William away.

This is quite literally one of the best in calculations of the modern-day theories on the lore because it literally has two very tiny problems
A: Afton getting spring locked most likely happens after sister location
B: Michael was in the pizzeria fire
Minus that I cannot stress this enough this 52nd video quite literally explains all of it perfectly
And also isn't Enard the one that goes into Michael instead, not Baby? Right? I don't remember...
Well, there's a thing with all 3 things mentioned here, Ion cars and bytes & T C Z
A. In the ending to Sister Location Custom Night, in the cutscene *after* it shows Michael vomiting Ennard into the sewers, it shows Springtrap (sorry if you didn't know)
B. It shows Michael (as his corpse) setting Springtrap on fire, catching himself on fire in the process, signifying that he technically *was* in the fire? I'm sort of reaching for that one, but I guess one could imagine.
C. Yes, Ennard was the one who went into Michael after he got scooped, but it simply shows Circus Baby because she was the one who primarily took control of Ennard, controlling them.

this is actually pretty accurate, also valid about the SB stuff. Im not playing it until it gets a major patch and actually makes a tad bit of sense lore wise.
Clearly you are not a dedicated FNAF fan.
I'm just joking, I'm not gonna pull a Twitter on you and call you stupid for not understanding the SL lore or something XD
Personally though, I consider the series to be over at UCN, because the other games are what make the lore TRULY messy.
I'm not mad about new games at all, but IMO, they should've made a new main villain in the series
(they had there chance with Vanny but fucked it up),
maybe someone who was INSPIRED by William Afton and wanted to keep his image alive while he burned in hell or something LOL
Thank you. That's exactly how long I wanted to spend informing myself about the FNAF lore.
Five Nights at Freddy's (FNaF) is a media franchise created by Scott Cawthon. The first video game of the same name was released on August 8, 2014, and the resultant series has since gained worldwide popularity.
The main series consists of nine video games taking place in locations connected to a fictional family pizza restaurant franchise named "Freddy Fazbear's Pizza", after its mascot, the animatronic bear Freddy Fazbear. In most games, the player assumes the role of a night-time employee, who must utilize tools such as security cameras, lights, doors, and vents to defend themselves against hostile animatronic characters that inhabit the locations. The series' lore is gradually revealed through voice recordings, minigames, and Easter eggs featured throughout the games.
The franchise also includes spin-off games and other media, such as a novel trilogy and an anthology series, comprising an all-encompassing fictional universe. The franchise maintains an active fanbase, known for its production of fan art and fangames, and merchandise for the games is available internationally.
bro what 💀 we all know that
Thank you, as someone unfamiliar with FNAF's lore this video really helped me understand the entirety of it
simple, yet compact explanation indeed
The fact that she managed to sum a very complicated lore like fnaf in less than 46 seconds is amazing
Matpat's gonna be crying into his pillow now after seeing this 😊
As someone who spent a lot of time trying to map out the lore, and justify why the anime cutscenes in ucn are actually canon, this is on point and articulate
the anime cutscenes are not canon 💀
@@DustySiren I personally disagree. I believe that they are canon, in that the kids who grew up with the Freddy's Pizzeria became adults and became nostalgic for the place, despite the eerie vibes.
So what do fans do? They create content. They create stuff like fan animation. So, the anime cutscenes are canon fan-animation by the freddy pizzeria fandom that grew. Then Fazbear entertainment saw this fan interest and used it to create the Fazbear fright experience.
@@Sirrah025 weird but yea i see what you mean

This is the most detailed FNaF lore explanation I have ever seen, I love how you drew it all as well! keep up the good work.
um, yeah. about that
@@pickaxeboi3012 heh
Honestly poor Michael, he didn't deserve any of the shit that happened to him.
none of them did except william.
I don't know why Scott thought it would be good to increase the lore so much. The game's story could have ended with William's death and remained solemnly with a single protagonist, the night guard who would be his son Michael, looking for him in 3 pizzerias (FNAF 1, 2 and 3) and ending in FNAF 4 and UCN as an explanation of the guard's past and the killer's hell. No Pizzaplex, no Sister Location, no Pizzeria Simulator. Just these 5 games. The movie would have a much easier job to adapt this story.
I mean the pizzeria simulador was better as an ending
As a 2015 FNAF obsessed kid, I can confirm this is perfectly accurate
I will never know how you were able to so effectively explain the lore without words
um.... not watching mattpatt ever? xP
enjoying the games enough to look into it?
Being Squizzy? xD
The only words in here are Afton's Famous Lines
@@ObieDobieZoomer Fredy
God bless you, the Buck Bumble menu music brought back so much nostalgia!
I love how simple this is because it doesn’t gloss over tiny details that snowball the lore into a paradoxical mess
Though this summarization leaves out a lot of info and some other lore, it still summarizes it pretty well.
I like how after I watched an entire lore discussion, they magically find their way into other peoples mind, and now I can see what others tend to think and they learned
Security Breach is basically just Michael coming back as Feddy and Gregory commits mass animatronic destruction and also puts William back into his wheelchair.
man there sure is alot of violence in this video, i wonder where Squizzy got the inspiration from
Indeed
_i wonder_
The amount of accuracy in this from the bite of 87 to the fact that William never dies is funny and remarkable
Finally, a content creator i share an opinion with when talking about FNAF.
And i didnt think Squizzy could ever be more idealized!

The fact that you got all of the fnaf lore we have besides security breach with no words amazes me
I laughed so hard especially during the puppet taking the child soul and afton casually stabbing kids and security breach makes the lore so confusing
Puppet is kinda petty if you think about it lol

@@inktheone5933 I always wondered why she gave them life in the robots but then set them free in fnaf 3 she most likely regretted her decision

This is FNaF that I want to remember!
Exactly! Like the story is not that much complicated like this
I cant believe we have massive 1 hour vids on the first games lore when squizzy actually made all the lore understandable in 43 seconds

Momento Mori
@@TadGomer Memento Mori 🖤🤍
I wasn’t expecting this to actually be accurate lol
The beginning of the lore takes place in Five Nights at Freddy’s 4. In 1983, a diner is started by William Afton and Henry Emily known as “Fredbear’s Family Diner.” The men worked together to create three animatronics: Fredbear, Spring Bonnie, and the puppet/Marionette, though the main focus will be Fredbear and Spring Bonnie. These animatronics could walk around the location and be used as robots or be worn by employees as costume. However, there was one thing about the suits: they were equipped with “spring locks.” These spring locks would activate when in contact with water/moisture and close as if they were attaching to the endoskeleton animatronic. In the game, the player takes the role of an unnamed boy, commonly known as the “Crying Child,” who was the youngest son of William Afton. The Crying Child (which will be referred to as CC) had an irrational fear of the animatronics (hence why he is referred to as the crying child, due to him always crying), and was constantly taunted by his older brother, Michael. One of the CC’s birthdays was held at Fredbear’s Family Diner, and Michael, along with his friends, decided to play a prank of the CC. They picked the boy up and held his head in the mouth of Fredbear; however, they forgot one important detail: the springlocks are activated by moisture. The CC’s tears activated the springlocks, and CHOMP. Crying Kid Cuisine. This would become the infamous “Bite of ‘83.”
During this time, William Afton would also have his first target: the daughter of Henry Emily. William Afton’s first signs of insanity are his experimentations with life and death. He brings this up with Henry Emily and leads to a large argument. As William drives home from Henry’s house, he finds Henry’s daughter standing outside of the restaurant by herself. The rage from their conversation leads to the demise of Henry’s daughter. This would become the first of many murders by Afton.
1. Circus Baby’s Entertainment and Rental
The next game in the timeline would be Sister Location. In the same year (1983), a sister location of Fredbear’s Family Diner was opened: “Circus Baby’s Entertainment and Rental.” The purpose of this location was to use other animatronics created by William Afton at birthday parties. These animatronics would become known as the “Funtimes”: Funtime Freddy and BonBon, Funtime Foxy, Circus Baby, Ballora and the Minirinas, and Bidybab. The player, who is later identified as an undercover Michael Afton (alias name: Mike Schmidt), navigates through the underground facility, guided by Circus Baby, to avoid getting killed by the other animatronics. In the beginning of the game, a conversation between William Afton and his daughter Elizabeth plays, and Elizabeth begs her father to go see Circus Baby and mentions that she is able to give children ice cream through her stomach hatch and claw. In a cutscene later in the game, Elizabeth gets into contact with Circus Baby, but she malfunctions and the claw reaches out, grabbing Elizabeth and killing her. This shows that these animatronics’ main function is to kill children. Another animatronic, Ennard, exists within the location. Ennard is a clown-like, amalgamation of parts from the other animatronics and is the main protagonist in “Sister Location.” From how he appears, he may have been an older animatronic that was put out of commission. He is a piece of all the other Funtime animatronics, therefore, he has a level of “control” over them. Because of this, Michael realizes that Circus Baby isn’t helping him, but rather leading him to his demise.
Inside the sister location, there is a room called the “Scooping Room.” Within this room is a large crane-like machine and a floor scattered with animatronic parts. The room’s sole purpose is to rip the outer layer of the animatronic off of the endoskeleton to use those pieces for spare parts. However, Michael ends up becoming a victim of this machine and quite literally gets his insides scooped. During this process, Ennard manages to insert himself inside of Michael, and becomes “undead.” This is shown in the “You Won’t Die” cutscene after the last night. Michael’s skin becomes a deep shade of purple and regurgitates pieces of Ennard into the sewer as Circus Baby repeats “You won’t die” in the background. Ladies and gentlemen, this is “Purple Guy.” However, he is not the only one, nor the first.
1. Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza (The First One)
Backtracking a bit, William Afton has his first victim: Henry Emily’s daughter. After this is reported and Afton is interrogated and cleared, Fredbear’s Family Diner is closed for an unknown reason. Time skip to a year later, 1984, Fredbear’s is bought out by another company. Fazbear Entertainment takes over and they reopen the restaurant as “Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza,” which correlates with the theme of FNAF 2. One of the old suits from Fredbear’s is kept (Spring Bonnie) and a new cast is built: the main 4 animatronics. This includes Foxy the Pirate, Freddy Fazbear, Chica, and Bonnie; however, these are scrapped and kept for parts due to them not being “child friendly,” and would become the withered animatronics. Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica get a new design as Toy Animatronics in addition to Balloon Boy and the Puppet/Marionette. An old model of Funtime Foxy is reused as a “Toy Foxy,” though it was turned into a “take-apart, put-back-together” interactive attraction for little kids and it was renamed by guests “The Mangle.”
The Marionette plays a vital role in the FNAF universe and will become a heroic character in the lore. It is speculated that the puppet animatronic had existed in Fredbear’s as a prize counter vendor. In Pizzeria Simulator, the puppet is seen navigating outside the diner’s walls and finding the soul of Henry Emily’s daughter after her death. The soul is passed onto the Marionette and becomes a protector of children in these establishments.
Back to FNAF 2, in this location, a total of 5 children end up going missing which is later titled the ‘Missing Children Incident’. This is later revealed to be Afton’s doing, in which he uses the Spring Bonnie suit to lure children individually to the back safe room and murders them. Later on in the game, a character featured in the first 2 games “Phone Guy” mentions an opening in the day shift. A cutscene in the third game suggests that William Afton had been haunted by the crying souls of his victims from the Missing Children Incident, and was cornered in the safe room by the ghosts before jumping into the Spring Bonnie suit on a stormy night. The room suffered severe water damage and had leaking through the ceiling, as it is shown that there is a puddle on the floor and water dripping from the roof. As Afton laughs at the children while wearing the suit, he quickly stops and drops to his knees. The springlocks activated from the rain leaking into the room and his sweating after being chased by one of the souls. Afton drops to the floor, signifying the end of his life.
The player is in the shoes of Jeremy Fitzgerald, a night-time security guard. Unfortunately, Jeremy has a terrible accident on one of the days he is working, which would be the fifth night in-game. Based on the appearance of their jumpscare, it is safe to say Mangle is responsible for the incident of Jeremy losing his frontal lobe, also known as the “Bite of ‘87.” The extra nights are taken over by Mike Schmidt (Michael Afton) and is warned by Phone Guy that he shouldn’t be there due to an “incident.” The restaurant closed and reopened in a time period around 1992.
1. Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza (The Second One)
At the re-reopening, which correlates with the first game published in the series (FNAF 1), the four scrapped animatronics from the first Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza set the scene for the most recognizable characters in the series. This is where the puppet’s scene from Pizzeria Simulator becomes important. A question most fans asked: how did the animatronics become possessed? At the end of Pizzeria Simulator, one of the endings plays a long monologue that is interpreted as Henry Emily, which covers the topic of his young daughter and how he knows it is in her nature to be protecting innocent people. This personality trait was passed onto the Marionette, hence why their role is to protect children from getting hurt by Afton. The lost souls of the kids from the Missing Children Incident were “gifted life,” as shown in the “Gift Gives, Gift Life” minigame from FNAF 2. However, there was another soul left: the Crying Child. Due to the Crying Child dying to the Fredbear animatronic in Fredbear’s Family Diner, he was gifted the Fredbear animatronic to possess, but the only problem was the physical animatronic was scrapped. This allowed the Crying Child to exist “in spirit,” which would be the origins of Golden Freddy, a rare animatronic that pops up randomly in FNAF 1. This game doesn’t consist much lore compared to the others, considering it’s the first game in the series, besides the fact that Phone Guy dies in this game on the fifth night which proves the theory that FNAF 2 is a prequel to the first game, since Phone Guy is still alive in the second installment. It has been theorized that the bodies of the children are located somewhere inside of the animatronics because of the newspaper clippings from the end of the game when it is beat, they describe the restaurant closing due to bad odors and liquids oozing from the animatronics. It closed sometime around 1993.
At this point in the timeline, there isn’t much explanation on what happened over the next 30 or so years after the closing of the second restaurant. Personally, I have not read them, but as far as I know, they are not completely canon.
It has taken her less than a minute to do what took MatPat years. Incredible.
