An In-Depth Analysis of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator

[@Pastraspec]

It's only been a day since this video's been uploaded and I've already seen so many really cool comments (and even emails) from people talking about why they like Scraptrap. I gotta say, the way you guys interpret this character really makes me appreciate him more than I did at the time of making this video. I still don't necessarily love Scraptrap, and I still mostly stand by what I think about the character, however I do feel now that I may have treated ol' Scrappy boy a little too harshly in this video. That's the power of the FNaF community for ya, always able to make you see something in a way you never did before!

Don't worry, I agree 100% with a lot of the points you made. I don't dislike Scraptraps character, but I 100% for sure think he could've been handled better.

My friend did a playthrough of this game a few weeks ago and it was hilarious. He hates horror but loves simulators and decided to make the pizzeria as safe and profitable as possible without salvaging any of the scrap animatronics. Listening to him throwing everything back into the alley was hilarious especially since another friend kept trying to convince him to salvage them. This playthrough ended with us (an accountant, a lawyer, and a manager at a local business.) Arguing whether my friend was wrongfully terminated at the end of the game and if he could sew the parent company over it.

I see scraptrap as a fall from grace for the character, but in a good way. Seeing how the killer has been reduced to a ruined animatronic who can barely hold itself. Even if he still acts confident and evil, he no longer has the power to back it up. A final humilliation for the character before his final defeat on the final game. Ultimate Custom Night Night plays off this too. *IS WHAT I WOULD SAY IF HE DIDN'T COME BACK IN HELP WANTED AND SECURITY BREACH*

[@nota444tm2]

Afton's immortality and refusal to die is very fitting on how it really messes him up in sb. Though we did need to see more of him for him to really matter. But i do find it cool how he can corrupt animatronics which is why i thought is why the phantoms ignore their killer and instead helps him.

But isn’t Burntrap just Glitchtrap using Afton’s corpse to move in the physical world? I mean that’s how I saw it anyway, since Vanny is the one who brings it to “life” in a way with the recharge stations.

TBH, i love the irony behind springtrap/william's existence. He wanted to achieve immortality and deduced that the reason why these children per se "survived" his killings was the remnant of their souls, so he killed more to harvest that remnant, but ultimately, what made him immortal was BECOMING what the dead children were forced to become; old, forgotten, rotten mascots. It's karma, and ultimately pretty funny. what goes around comes back around to you.

[@ragingfurno7096]

I like Pastra's interpretation where it's a Karmic justice in 3, but then after coming back again from the Fire in 3, he starts seeing it as a good thing, because now he will,"Always come back" because no matter how many times he dies, he just comes back. His already twisted Psyche takes the "punishment" he had been given and turns it into something more..."useful" to him

[@buttercuup02]

@@ragingfurno7096 this is exactly what I think really further expands upon his villainy so well.

[@Player-lm4bh]

Sadly for everyone, it is highly likley that William never actually died in sprintrap. In the novels (that are NOT canon but play by similar rules) william is able to get out of springtrap and keep on living. If we apply the same rule, william probably was alive inside of springtrap (appart that in the salvage you can hear his heart betibg)

[@wandereringshadow8658]

Honestly, i'm fine with how Springtrap as a character was taken. In the sixth game, he remained me somewhat of a zombie- a hollowed shell. FNAF3 gave him the benefit of resembling something of a human, but in six, he was more akeen to that of a twisted creature who only vaguely resembled a human- the perfect metaphor for a child murderer. And his conculsion of being burnt down with the rest was great... Then security breach happened.

I think it's amazing that Henry, this hyper-important faceless side character in the books, and Charlie, the main protagonist of the books, were brought into the canon of the games in the coolest, most satisfying, most sensible way Scott could've gone about it. Making Charlie the victim in Take Cake made tons of sense, and Henry showing up also made sense, and the spectacle was truly something special. Henry has, without a doubt, the best theme song in the game. Nowhere To Run. Nowhere to run, and not a single place to hide. He sealed the place tight, and he isn't letting the curse of the old Freddy's escape a second time.

Like maybe his voice being alot more raspy and wheezy rather than sound like he's perfectly fine and like his vocal cords haven't been shredded to ribbons by this point

[@whitefang2312]

Here’s my extensive take on Scraptrap. I personally love the way his character was taken (not his design, his character). FNAF 3 is not changed at all; becoming Springtrap IS a consequence of his actions. However, like anyone who’s overly ambitious, as the lore insinuates with Afton, he’s ready to improvise if he’s still breathing. And that’s what Scraptrap encapsulates; he didn’t plan this, but he’s here and he’s going to take advantage of it. He’s an animatronic now; he can theoretically live forever. His soul can never die. For whatever reason he decided to kill children, now he CAN for as long as he needs to, as well as as long as he’d LIKE to. That’s why he’s triumphant, talkative, open - the kids beat him, but not quite. He’s alive and kicking and, in his mind, unstoppable

[@therandomnessfacility9948]

As seen from the books, even if him becoming springtrap is like.. a punishment for his actions, he just takes it with open arms. He accepts it, and just uses it to be more fearsome

[@tehsacredeggo-4519]

That’s what I thought. Sure, he’s practically a husk in FNAF 3, but who wouldn’t be after being locked up alone for 30 years straight? Now that Spring Bonnie’s coding has mostly been burnt up, he can do whatever the hell he wants, which is why he’s more confident here and talks more

[@PatTheFox]

He wanted to make his family immortal. He has become immortal,and that's a huge step towards his goal for him.

[@nintendold]

I remember my first contact with this game was watching Markiplier play it, and the absolute best moment of it was right when it shifted from the 8-bit facade to Scrap Baby, Mark said "okay, welcome to FNAF 6"

[@hyperbiscuit2284]

I think not including the animatronic salvage mini games in help wanted was a huge missed opportunity. They probably wouldn't have been all that difficult compared to some of the other mini games, but I think the idea of having to actively look away from the animatronic sitting in front of you so you can take notes would have been terrifying. This would be even more terrifying if the notes were more involved than just checking boxes. Or if you had to actively start and stop the tape or recharge the taser after each use. I think it would have been one of the more interesting mini games to include, because I think it's one of the coolest parts of FNAF 6.

The thing about it is that William Afton was never just a serial killer. He was a man on a warpath to achieving immortality. It makes the most sense for his character to be absolutely gleeful at his transformation, even if it's not the way that he had been planning he's still achieved his goal. In a way I think it makes a better twisted irony this way because it should've been a punishment, to any sane person this would've been torture, but because William Afton is such a mangled twisted horrid thing he sees this as a blessing and that in and of itself is disturbing. It reminds you of how sick of a person he is, how far removed he is from his own humanity. It reminds you that this is a monster that stopped being a human a long long time ago, that there is nothing to sympathize or empathize with because this is no longer a person.

The reason why I can’t complain too much about scraptrap is that in reality, sociopaths don’t learn the right lessons or have any real regrets- (aka “I got caught doing something? I should have been sneakier).” The way William Afton interpreted his spring trap incident was less of a conclusion and more of a educational experience. I think the way he’s acting is handled just as well as it should be. It looked like he was having fun trying to kill his own son in Fnaf 3, after all.

Ah, FNaF 3. That jumpscare... It's brilliant. It sucks ass. He walks to you like he is gonna shake your hand. And it's perfect, that is exactly what all the children saw, it brings me chills when I think about it. Only jumpscare that gets close to that level of psychological horror is Nightmare and that's because of my theory, which is not confirmed. And even with the theory, it's not as pure evil. This is what made William Afton so great, he is on his own other level of psychopath. I am glad Scraptrap exists, he was a bold move. While his design sucks it also is so ugly it looks gross and thus creepy, and his voicelines are top notch. Security Breach ruined William by not being bold enough with him.

[@redgeoblaze3752]

The issue isn't that he doesn't regret his actions, it's the fact that he's so cognizant in it all. Springtrap in FNAF3 was so interesting partly because this intelligent killer has been reduced to a mindless zombie who can't do anything other than wander to the closest noise in hopes of finding another victim. in that game, he's nothing more than a husk of his former self, and that's what's so satisfying about his poetic justice. But now, his death in the bonnie suit seemed less of a death, and more of an inconvenience to be stuck in the secret room for 30 years. Now he's just back up and back to his old games. You might be able to argue that Sister Location actually ruined this by establishing that the Animatronics can be fully sapient like Baby, but it's possible that she's just an exception because of Elizabeth's connection with Baby. Same as Charlie and the Puppet.

[@SpectreProtomoth]

Being face-to-face with an animatronic in a calmer/quieter environment, I've found, is THE most terrifying thing in the entire series, gameplay-wise. The robot might be still - not trying to attack you - which might leave you on-edge, waiting for them to strike as you go about your task(s) without proper means to defend yourself. FNaF4 eased us into this play style with the Nightmares' gameplay loops, having to stand inches away from a face in the darkness and wait for them to breathe, knowing they might get you before you can react to save yourself. SisLoc really tested it out for us, giving us quality time with each robot as you sit in maintenance rooms with Funtime Freddy and Circus Baby. And then of course there's PizzaSim, which threw us right into it with the Salvages. You know these creatures; you KNOW what they're capable of. They sit across the table from you, no more than 5 feet away. All eyes are on you, which shouldn't have happened if they don't move, right? You're on-edge already, because you know for a fact that these things are ALIVE. They could attack at any moment. But for now? Everything is calm. The quiet atmosphere adds to the tension of the situation, naturally. You look up at the mechanical monster and turn on the tape, knowing full well that the sounds are going to piss off the robot, thus only adding to your own paranoia. It's absolutely the best gameplay segment in the game, and is also one of the reasons that I can't play the game. I get too... upset, I guess I'll say. It's a phenomenal game, and that's why I can't play it. Same reason for why I can't play the Repair games in Help Wanted. Coming face-to-face with a hulking robotic creature that's significantly taller than you even when sitting down is... I just can't handle it. If we ever get the Salvage games in VR, I will NOT be touching those, Goddess **no.** You could not pay me to.

[@MattGOnYT]

Scrap trap has a lot of issues, but I think it’s important that Afton being in the Pizzeria is an important part of the story. Afton being defeated by Henry after all the time he spent being an awful human person is a perfect ending to the main version of the character (which is why I dislike burn trap’s existence so much). Despite this I still agree that Afton probably should have felt more unhappy to be springlocked than he did in the actual game, or perhaps he even could have been like Scrap Baby and Molten Freddy where he has lost his sense of self and become a purely murderous being

I think that letting Afton finally kick the bucket for good and have him not escape UCN, or if he did just be gone forever, would have gave the story a more satisfying end to the Afton era, and make way for the new Vanny era. I really think that the concept of Glitchtrap is fine as it gives reason to Vanny being created and it seemed like Steel Wool was going in a new villain direction instead of introducing Burntrap originally in Help Wanted and the early promo for Security Breach.

[@_Tzer]

It's plausible that scraptrap's positive additude either comes from the fact that william is a crazy child murderer or he is trying to force himself to cope with such a fate and try to keep a more level head along with some slight smugness from the fact he avoided death.

[@ArcaneSeason4]

I think midnight motorist takes place after the security puppet mini game, after William kills Charlie. In the final moments of the Security Puppet mini game there are tire tracks on the street (This is in line with the first time we saw this event in that one mini game in FNAF 2 where a child was locked out of a building before William drives up, kills them, and drives away), I think that this event leads to Midnight Motorist where William is going back home after the event (Notice how it’s raining in both mini games)

[@BeezelduD]

Personally, while I dislike Scraptrap's design, I can safely say I like the idea of Afton eventually realizing that without a mortal body he's technically won. He's an immortal being that relishes in the deaths of others for his own gain and now that he feels like there are no more consequences he's gone completely mad in this cynical matter.

[@NICOLEwendt73]

Can I borrow your idea for my KZbin fnaf back stories ?

[@StonedHunter]

For me, the change in Afton's personality always felt like the things he's been through after being burned "alive" as Springtrap (coupled with everything else he's done and gone through in his life) has just steadily deteriorated his sanity to the point that he becomes basically a mindless monster obsessed with killing, and getting whatever power or tool he needs to cause as much harm and suffering as possible. FNAF 3 was the death of William Afton the serial child murderer who lost two of his children to his own creations (which would horribly mess up anyone even if they were already warped in the head like Afton was) and the birth of Springtrap the monster who can think of nothing else BUT murder, but maintained Afton's ability to manipulate others around him. I can definitely understand why it doesn't work for many people as it does feel a bit abrupt... I think if they had mellowed it just a bit to make it seem like he had only recently gone this far off the deep end it would have worked better and made the overall progression smoother and easier to follow.

[@reallyoriginalname1221]

And then there's glitchtrap. Which I feel is less of "get me out so I can start killing again" and more of "dear God get me out of hell" and he less of wants to go back to killing (although he might want that) and more of just trying to escape his fate of eternally being slaughtered by his won creations, his daughter in baby, and the multiple ones he had killed.

[@StonedHunter]

I feel like with Afton killing is just a given, he doesn't need to let us know he's going to kill more if he gets out. It's just going to be the natural consequence if he does. He might also not be focused on killing like you said, he may just be focused on getting the hell out. But we all know William Afton will never stop killing people because at this point it's basically taken over his entire personality.

I absolutely despise the design of scraptrap but I do love the direction they went with William here and in UCN before help wanted. The idea that he has not only been put through the same fate as the children he murdered, but also in a much more gruesome way where he can feel the springlocks inside his body with it destroying him is already fantastic, but making it go on for longer after fazbear frights burnt down is an idea I do like. I do like him showing up in pizzeria simulator too since it is a way for the entire Afton storyline to be put to a close, with his return even being hinted at in Sister Location. Plus, I love the idea that one of his first instincts is to go back to a fazbear restaurant, the place where he started his downward spiral into the monster he became and finally getting sent to hell

[@aldusty7373]

I can see why people dislike Scraptrap, I really disliked him at the start too. But I started appreciating him when I was talking to my friends about him. William is the first part of the story, a happy man, murdering children and hiding them. If I recall, William was seeking immortality through Remnant in the books, as he figured death was his only roadblock. Springtrap is William being punished for his sins, and he's in constant agony because he sees his suit as a curse. Scraptrap is William's realization that the suit is perfect for his goals, while he's possessing the Spring Bonnie suit, he's now a holder of Remnant, and has become immortal, just as he desired before he got spring trapped. And when William sees his curse as a blessing, he becomes more insane and sadistic, as his immortal body allows him to achieve all his desires. And if the theory that Michael was the night guard of 3, William being excited to exact revenge makes sense to me. Overall, I see the transition of William, to Springtrap, to Scraptrap as the story of a deranged serial killer overcoming his only perceived weakness

I completely understand your view of Scraptrap, and how his death at FNAF 3 is poetic justice, but honestly that's what makes me like the idea of Scraptrap. William Afton, for me, is meant to represent pure evil. Sure he was supposed to die in FNAF 3, sure him becoming Springtrap was supposed to be a karmic punishment, but *evil always finds a way*. He managed to take what was supposed to be his end, his new deplorable existence and turned it around into a new opportunity to cause more pain and suffering. That's what I think his famous line is supposed to represent. And besides, what is more evil than escaping your punishment and using it to your own advantage? However, I still believe they should have killed him in FNAF 6, this is the kind of stuff you cam only do so many times.

Henry is literally so cool and such a tragic character, it’s a shame he didn’t exist until around the time SL came out, I would’ve loved for him to appear elsewhere. The concept of the killer’s former business partner now having to deal with the tragedy of losing his daughter and the guilt of everything else that happened is such a cool idea to me. He’s unfortunately underused :( The ending is awesome (and the reason Henry’s my favorite fictional character), and I wish William didn’t come back AGAIN so that the ending didn’t become pointless. The Insanity Ending monologue also slaps, I almost like it more than the Completion Ending speech Anyways, another thing I really like about this game is how the story is told to us through minigames, it’s such a cool thing to me. It’s assumed that Midnight Motorists takes place after William kills Charlie, as one of the tracks is titled “Later That Night” and it’s raining

[@magnamogus8533]

After a while, I think the way I interpreted the Midnight Motorist easter egg is like this. The first area of it with Jrs. is a subset or sister location to Freddy's that Henry owns. William isn't allowed in as while Henry can't confront him directly about the murders and such he knows he did them and doesn't want him in his restaurant. I think the scene at the house is after the events of FNAF 4 but still fairly early in the timeline. William after the death of his youngest son is distraught and takes it all out on Micheal who he blames for his death and hates. He now regularly berates and abuses Micheal which is why his room is usually locked now. We see William's wife on the chair telling him to go easy on Micheal today which William easily shrugs off and begins bang on his door to berate and verbally (and possibly physically) abuse him. Micheal already realizes this so he runs away for a bit to either an Old Freddy's location or Jrs. until he cools off locking the door in an attempt to fool William into thinking he's still in the room

[@absolutezerochill2700]

I gotta be honest. I respect your opinion with Scrap trap, but I personally disagree. Other than his design , I see him the same way I see Springtrap. I see a despicable, suffering serial killer, and the smartest, most intimidating animatronic in the franchise. Obviously, his design makes him a bit less fearsome, but his voice, in my opinion, still makes him a threat. Springtrap is a crippled, rotting corpse, but he's still a cunning serial killer. As he states, its still him. I see his lines as less of a "I'm the villain" and more showing his ever-present intelligence and planning abilities. In FNaf 3, he had been trapped for thirty years, and he was just now released. His thirst for blood, however, never went away, so he hunts down the security guard and eventually finds a new suit, ending up at the pizzeria in search of new victims. He knows it's a lie, but his tendencies are too strong for him to resist And Henry knew it. I feel this wasn't a changing of his character, but a natural evolution of it. Of course Springtrap would return to killing after leaving Fazbear Fright. Of course he would geta new suit to make it easier.

[@Fish-dr8sd]

When comes to Scraptrap, what I love about the direction taken was the following: On the credits, he is not named Scraptrap, he's named William Afton. This is no longer the rageful yet aimless zombie that he was in FNaF 3; he had time to recompose and acesses his situation. The way he speaks doesn't sounds like he's enjoying his situation, it sounds like he coped with it and is somewhat back to his former psychopathic-self. Also on his design: I agree that Scott may have taken way too much creative freedom and may have overdesigned him (ie. Flesh where there shouldn't be none, a weird skull, the rabbit feet, etc.) but taking a step back, judging by his overall shape, comparing it to FNaF 3 and taken into considerstion what I just said about his personality, it paints a clear picture to me: William did try to make himself look more human and deadly. He's way thinner, thus faster, has a sharp blade/bone where one his arms should have been and has sharp claws on the other. Wheter this design is better or worst than FNaF 3, I do not know nor will I judge, but I always apreciated when Scott took risks and tried to inovated his modeling. Also, William design may not be overall the best, but it falls in line with the other animatronics themes: Lefty = FNaF 1 and 2, classic friendly yet uncanny design Scrap Baby = FNaF 4, pratically Nightmare Baby when you think about it Molten Freddy = FNaF SL, reasons are implied William Afton = FNaF 3, rotten and decrypted.

I disagree fundamentally that fnaf 6 ruined springtrap, not because he wasn’t ruined, but because fnaf 4 and sister location did it well in advanced, fnaf 4 and 5 setup the fact that, rather than being a psychotic killer, william afton was essentially a mad scientist attempting to achieve immortality and (later after his son is accidentally killed) attempts to bring him back to life both with the souls of dead children, essentially almost making him morally grey?

Nah he's still an extremely fucked up person. He still killed children, it was only the consequences of him killing other people's kids that lead to his kid being killed.

Also in 4 the visions of his son come from prior mental torture he used in order to scare said son away from animatronics??? Is that not fucked up? There are other moments too where his actions came back to bite his own children but typing all of that out would be an essay.

[@trapsack]

Yes.

[@m0002856]

I wouldn’t say that the games turned him from a serial killer to a mad super villain. The timeline does make sense in a way. Theres stuff from the novels where Afton laments the fact that he can never make something as lifelike as Henry could, and that’s likely the catalyst for why he kills his daughter Charlie. He sees the Puppet become more lifelike as a result, and assumes that Charlie possesses the Puppet. So now he wants to kill children to force them to possess the animatronics the make them more lifelike. Serial Killer motive achieved. Then Baby kills his daughter. He shifts his motives from simply killing children to trying to figure out a way to bring her back. Dunno when Crying Child dies in all this, but I’m sure that’s his motive at some point. Immortality and to have his family back.

[@spotlightanimation6719]

​@m0002856 building off of that, I think his experiments were more motivated by a fear of death and a desire for control rather than wanting his family back. Sure, he may have cared for them and felt grief when they died, but especially considering what we see of him in the Silver Eyes, I think their deaths scared him more than saddened him. Then again, I'm no expert on serial killer psychology so take it as you want.

[@SmashCrafter321]

Personally Speaking, I like to think that while technically the same body and perhaps soul, William Afton and Springtrap (and his later iterations) are different people from a mental perspective. William was a serial killer who was cold, calculated, planned as much as he could, while still expecting the worse. Springtrap is a mirror of that, but not the same exact mind, and perhaps a bit more cocky and overconfident at times. Think of it like he's less so William brought back to life, and more so a hallow shell of the man who sparked it all. Original William didn't want to die, as evident from the end of Fnaf 3. Springtrap was glad to be born a killer animatronic. As awful as Scraptraps visual design is, it shows us the evolution of Springtrap's own thought process. While he may have been broken, he repaired himself (somehow) and tried making himself more dangerous to boot. (note the more nail like teeth he has reminiscent of the nightmare animatronics, and unless I'm mistaken, he seems to have replaced his missing left forearm with a blade of sorts.) He also may be directly allied with Scrap Baby. After all, if your gonna have another killer animatronic calling you dad and following your every whim, why not use that to your advantage. I would go on further about Glitchtrap and Burntrap, and maybe even Vanny too, but this isn't really the place for it. No matter the case, I hope this opens a bit of a new perspective about Springtrap and his many incarnations as a whole. Edit: I changed "Cereal" to "Serial", now leave me alone about it, sheesh.

The one thing I like about Scraptraps design is the idea that after FNaF3's fire, the Springtrap suit kept falling apart from age and other natural things. So to keep it together he found random bit fitting the suit and plopped them on there. I also like to think that through what has happened since the suit locked up, he gradually lost his mind and became more manic. Also with the head thing, Scott put a model of a human head in the Springtrap head and found that the head piece wasn't human sized, hence the size of it in game.

[@m0002856]

Yeah but like… it didn’t need to be human head sized. The important thing isn’t being anatomically correct, it’s being visually correct. That’s the key to a lot of good animation as well. You should see the way ArcSys made Dragonball FighterZ look good. They had to do some insane things with the camera angles and models to make them look right, and that’s the important thing.

I want to state two things about Scraptrap. Firstly, his skull, even thought it looks very bad, isn't really a human skull, I believe this because in one of the FNaF 4 mini-games (the one where the crying child is locked on the "Parts and Service Room" of Fredbears Family Dinner) we can see some pieces that resemble the suit and the endoskeleton of Scraptrap, so William after the fire of FNaF 3 must have gone to an old location in order to repair himself up (I don't believe that Scraptrap is a "canon re-desing" because all of the characters have a justification for their appearance and we can see on a cinematic the original Puppet so we know we haven't get an overhaul re-desing for the characters). Secondly, we can see in FNaF 3 some images of William trying to get out of Springtrap, so we know that he is on pain or limited by the suit, and we also know that the Springbonnie suit had suit mode and animatronic mode, so we can infer that when you use the audio device the suit takes over and moves William over there (because William will surely know that there in the location are not children to be found and there is only you) causing desperation to the Purple Guy. In others words, he was enslaved by the Springbonnie animatronic mode and each time you used the audio device you're torturing him. Finally, I want to add that the most likely thing is that William possessed his own body due to the fact of being able to change from one suit to another, and I think that William was in the bottom of his mental state during FNaF 3 and that after that he became able to "upgrade" his state to a more comfortable one in order to continue with his murder spree, so William is actually an evolving character that haves many phases in the game and in the canon allowing to many interpretations of his state being valid as the one of the Springtrap being in pain or the fact he couldn't talk (if you see his design his mouth have some bars that screw his talking ability). BTW FNaF 3 is my favorite and the original Springtrap design is the best.

I love how you point out the "animatronic mode" taking over William in FNAF 3, which is why Springtrap follows the audio lures. But in FNAF 6 he's got a new suit, not beholden to that mode... and just goes off the deep end. (chef's kiss)

I haven’t played this game much, but what I have played gave me an experience I’m not sure I’ll ever forget. It was during the Afton salvage, I was at the final audio prompt and Afton was in his 2nd pose where he I was sure he couldn’t attack yet. In my mind I was taunting him for not being able to do anything to stop me from winning at this point, and that I had already won I was then punished for my hubris

[@LasagnaTheArtist]

I just realized that Scott created a real world version of that tumblr post about a Jurassic Park game where you build up your park for while-- and then the dinosaurs escape, turning it into an adventure horror game where your success in the first half directly translates to increased danger in the second half. It's such an interesting mechanic and while I wish the fnaf franchise ended with fnaf 3, this is a really fascinating game.

[@acemagalor2519]

One thing I like that a lot of people don’t really mention about the animatronics is that in a way they all feel like they could be the “ Final boss” Of their own respective games And hold a ton of emotional weight for Mike and the player Molten Freddy: the Melted together funtimes; your Predators from the previous game and (Spoilers) the stitched Together souls of the first five kids that you tried to free in Five nights 3, also housing your brother and his friends Baby: your guide turned enslaver from the previous game, and your sister taken away from you by- Scrap(Peanut head)trap- dear old dad, now a horrifying Tomb trapped in the suit that’s nearly completely burnt off his bones, now more mangled and blood thirsty than ever, You thought you took him out in game 3 but he ALWAYS COMES BACK Lefty- at first a complete mystery but if you pay attention it’s the puppet you met In game 2, Charlie’s prison the wildcard, and uncle Henry’s daughter I feel like each of them could easily be the final opponent for the franchise but seeing them all together makes the game even more tense

[@dootmarine1140]

I think Springtrap's character development from a deranged serial killer getting his poetic justice to LichBot is actually a pretty interesting one. When we first see him, it does look like he is actually suffering. He got trapped in the golden Bonnie suit and he died a gruesome, lonely and utterly excruciating death. At first that's his world now: pain. He can't do shit but wander around and relive the final moments of his life, groaning and moaning and hoping there's a way out. But like all pain, that pain eventually fades. He gets used to it. Punishment becomes reward. That deranged serial killer is still in there, that didn't just magically vanish when he died. Over the time it takes between his first appearance and FNAF 6, William has accepted his prison and made it his home. He is Springtrap now, and Springtrap is him. The danger is gone. No more real life consequences to his actions, no more human limitations. He can finally be who he always wanted to be: an immortal, unstoppable murderer with the moral compass of a rock. That being said, what Help Wanted and Security Breach did was stupid as hell. Not only would this robot-maker have managed to upload his consciousness to a computer, he then (I am pulling this from memory so I might be wrong here) manages to infect a game, become Vanny 1.0 inside said game, take over the mind of one of the play testers who is not Vanessa and come back to realspace like this. Then SecBreach happens, Springtrap gets resurrected and William's brain goes back into Springtrap but he then gets killed by the Blob? I am genuinely confused what happened there...

[@SoupArchive]

I see what you mean about Scraptrap, but I feel that there is a reason for his direction. I think that, as he lived as Springtrap, he learned how to live as a corpse in a spring lock suit and through that, he learned how to speak, walk instead of slowly shamble, and realize the potential and power that he now has. William was deranged from the start and now he's been given a cursed gift. He now has immortality. He will always come back... That is why personally I like his direction, but I do understand it's flaws. Thanks for the great video! And congrats on 22K! Can't wait to see what you do next!

[@Cinnamowo]

To be honest, I love Scraptrap much more than Springtrap, and funny enough because of exactly the opposite. To turn the table around and show that becoming "immortal" in such way is just what William wanted is a really twisted idea. It finally put together what he was planning all those years that have passed throughout our terrifying experience, but his new appearance and his voice is what really made me afraid of him. He perfectly closes the whole cast of unique unstable characters who are nothing more than killing machines by that point of story, and knowing that it is all his fault is just what can make you afraid. He is the mastermind behind everything, and the most terrifying of all is to realise that William knew everything from the beginning. He is aware of Henry's trap, yet he chooses to trick the fate once more, and, well... You know what goes next

[@Bashuraptor]

Thank you for putting my hatred for Scraptrap into words! I honestly thought he was so eerie in fnaf 3 because I believed he was barely sentient at that point. His malice was gone, his humanity was gone. All he was at that point was an animal. A pitiful husk that has lost any semblance of humanity. The only thing even keeping it moving is the suit itself. Not only does his design in PS look like Jimmy Neutron, it completely ruined that idea for me.

I also liked the old Springtrap design as well. I liked the fact that you couldn’t tell whether or not he was in control. Was it the suit’s programming that allowed you to lure him to certain rooms by playing the sounds of children, or was it the final remnants of a child murderer’s soul that causes it? Maybe it’s both. Either way, I did like it better when it was a silent mystery. I liked the fact that he walks up to you very human-like as well.

This is my favorite game/moment of the entire franchise. Its just so geniusly done. Just from the beginning, when no one really knew what was waiting for them inside this "simple" small game, and then suddenly watching it fall apart just to find yourself face to face to a rotten, emaciated Baby. The feeling of contrast between the "safe" and fun mini games while you build your pizzeria, with just the occasional details to remind you that this game isn't as cheerful as it seems, to the rush of adrenaline playing in the office, to the still, quiet yet dreadful and even more claustrophobic scenary while salvaging the animatronics. Just feeling confused (as is usual in FNAF) on why is Baby here but not Ennard? Why is Springtrap here? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HIS HEAD? Who is Lefty? Why are we even doing this? Who even are we? And then having the most satisfying (and epic) moment in all FNAF, where we actually get answers and a feeling of closure. I loved as well Ultimate custom night (I 100% agree about its title as an epilogue), and have mixed feeling for everything after that, but a huge part of me will always consider this the actual ending, it just feels right. (Also, I just wanted to add: you are the first person in a while that has made me watch a video in its actual speed instead of x2; that plus the fact that the video is almost 50 minutes long and you are not really a fast speaker if I'm honest lol, but you are indeed very talented. You know how to make immersive, well crafted videos, and that's amazing. Seriously, great video.)

I’ve had playthroughs where I didn’t buy/ salvage any of the animatronics to make it easy, and always if I wasn’t paying attention well enough I’d accidentally buy an item with something hidden inside, always made going into the office unexpected because I never knew how they got in

[@nathamiell]

I vividly remember the lead up to the release. It was one of the first games I was excited for the release of. And seeing the happy minigame glitch into the interview room was a chilling experience. With the game bringing in everything from almost every corner of the franchise (I don't think the third book was even out yet. Simpler times...) it was like the real finale the series had always wanted. William Afton was named in SL, it was only a matter of time before the games acknowledged Henry, and I knew it was only a matter of time and it was going to be amazing. And it was. A satisfying conclusion that saw everyone's end, and UCN being a simple epilogue felt right.

In my opinion, what you said about scraptrap is actually what makes it so cool to me. Like it was his consequence to become springtrap, but later as the years went on he learned to love it, and to find a way to feel powerful again being forced to live with those terms of being an animatronic (sorta). And him being the powerful villain like thing he is in the game makes him feel like william afton, at least to me.

[@jaren12072]

I liked Scraptrap. To me instead of William Afton wanting to become an animatronic he instead came to accept the situation and use it to his advantage. I also like the malformed of look of Scraptrap as well, it looks the suit is rotting and William Aftons body is decomposing and despite all that he's somehow still alive. I don't think Pizzaria Simulator damaged Springtraps character from FNAF3 in Pizza sim he's just accepted his fate and is now using that to his advantage.

[@johndoe24328]

I think giving spring trap more character was necessary to have the amazing ending. Otherwise it paints Henry as like finally putting a bunch of vengeful child spirits to death. But since spring trap basically likes his new “immortality” Henry is both justified putting everyone to rest, and also he takes Williams awesome new ability away from him.

[@remuslebeau6570]

I think why Scraptrap acts the way he does is in FNAF 3, he wasn't used to the pain yet, but once he did, he realized how much stronger he was. Not only that, but he also realized he was essentially immortal.

[@slenderminion2229]

I can definitely see what you mean with the direction Springtrap took in this game. Personally, I wish he had been more akin to his portrayal in the Fourth Closet novel. He's a sadistic monster of a man that would be happy that he can still continue his work after death, but at the same time he also loathes his existence because every breath and every movement causes him immense pain. From his lines here, being undead barely seems to bother him that much. Giving him back some degree of lucidity while also making it clear how much suffering he's in could make for a chilling performance while keeping the irony of his situation intact. Either way, this game should have been the end of Springtrap. I was fine with Glitchtrap being Afton's spirit because it meant Henry's sacrifice still accomplished something in freeing his previous victims and taking away his physical body, forcing him to rely on someone else to do his dirty work for him. Security Breach had a perfect opportunity to flesh out Afton's manipulative and cunning side through his connection with and reliance on Vanny. Instead whoever wrote this script just brought back Springtrap yet again without explanation and not only undid the ending of Pizzeria Simulator entirely, but also wasted all the potential Glitchtrap had. They didn't even give him a single line of dialogue.

[@Falkuzrules]

I realized a while ago what Security Breach's story is. It's an official fangame. The concept of being a child inside a robot (safely) which doesn't fit the series at all, the relatively self-contained story, new characters that resemble Freddy's but different animals (TNaR comes to mind when looking at Monty), bringing William back to life with plot magic because PuRpLe GuY... this game might as well be a fanmade creation by Vanessa.

regarding your point about Baby not really being present in SL, there's actually a theory about that. apparently she had already been scooped before you even enter the game, so she is just a tangle of mismatched wires from the start, and throughout the game becomes Ennard. this would explain why you wouldn't see her, because that would spoil things. she's supposed to be misleading and mysterious, so the fact that she doesn't show up adds to that imo.

[@thatonebigstarwarsnerd8769]

While I don't know much about William's lore between 3 and 6 I do think his design in 6 looks fine and makes sense. Considering it's probably been a few years since the end of 3 and he's recieved no medical treatment for his wounds or cuts there's a good chance that he has parasites or some sort of fungal growth in his body causing his body to be disproportioned. He probably couldn't fix any of his mechanical parts very easily either, at least on his own. As for his head being too big for his body well what I think about that is maybe his head is the same size as it was in 3. Instead it's the rest of his body that's gotten smaller and thinner due to the fact he probably can't eat and/or is malnourished and rotting away.
