Considering that Michael draws a picture of Nightmare Fredbear (and a very detailed one at that), in his survival logbook (this is a separate book, obviously not in game), it seems very likely that Michael is actually the person you play as in FNAF 4. Because he has to have seen the nightmares animatronics right, to have drawn that. Also, in the Tales from the Pizzaplex book 'B-7', we learn from one of the stories that hallucinogenic gas was pumped into that room that caused the blank outer shells of these animatronics to appear as literal nightmares.

A theory I’ve had percolating for a while is that FNAF4 retconned the bite of 87 out of existence. My main points for this is that around the time of 4s release Scott claimed he had made one retcon in the series at that point, the teasers were clearly signposting that this game was gonna be about the bite of 87 and finally that since this game came out the bite of 87 has never been elaborated on or mentioned again by any of the games.

@psl10910 ай бұрын
Tbh more than retconning it out of existence, I think it just lessened its importance. Across fnaf 1, 2 and 3, all eyes were set on the bite of 87' (see the Markiplier meme) and probably because of timeline troubles, he made the 83' bite the one with true importance lorewise, while reducing the other one to just an anecdote. From what I've read and seen online is that, at least now, the bite of 87' is widely accepted as happening to the guy we play as in fnaf 2, hence why the later nights are with another dude (theorized to be Mike).

I remember seeing a theory that was like the coma theory. It was that the game took place in a hospital room, and occurred after the crying child was bitten (hence why you’re in the hospital, he was also in a coma in this theory) C.C has nightmares that he’s in his bedroom and the nightmare animatronics attack him. The evidence for this theory is that you can sometimes see a pill bottle and a flower vase on the nightstand, things seen in hospital rooms.

We do not *know* that Dream Theory was retconned. That's a popular assumption, but there is nothing to suggest that from anything Scott has said. A lot of what people assume to be proof of that is misconceptions and misinterpretations of what he actually said. The thing is, a lot of the weird connections in FNAF4 actually tie back to the FNAF3 minigames, symbolically and visually. Leading to the idea that those events still happened, and CC's memories were key to Happiest Day, which FNAF World later supported, and is a popular idea today with the direction Scott took with memories of souls and all that in the books. So it seems more likely that Scott already had a general idea for the worldbuilding of his series, but he was too vague about it, as he now admits.

Dream Theory was NEVER planned by Scott. Scott said he only made one retcon before FNAF 6, and it was a small, seamless thing that almost nobody noticed. I highly recommend looking up the "FreeVictim" theory. I think it is the best explanation of what was going on in FNAF 4. It explains the Clock quest in FNAF World, which is directly linked to the Bite Victim and the Happiest Day minigames in FNAF 3. It also lines up very well with the Fazbear Frights books (in which a dead child named Jake uses his happy memories to set another child's soul fee).
@Anonyomus_commenter10 ай бұрын
Scott has a weird definition of retcon. According to Scott, it’s only a retcon if it is changing directly stated information- it’s probably something like Charlie being a girl not a boy as stated in save him vs security puppet. According to Scott, changing his plans for the story after hinting at his old ones is not a retcon, for example he has changed what he intends to be in the box like 3 times

But I think they either answered questions of previous games in a very unsatisfying way, or made new ones that completely alter what was already “established.” Nightmare being death to me has much more emotional weight as well as the animatronics being some nightmare the kid is having in a coma. Especially considering the kids life was cut far shorter than it should’ve. The whole what, they are projections William is putting up? I don’t feel offers the same weight, or really a satisfying conclusion that could be interpreted.

I remember I was about 8 or 9 when all the fnaf games came out so I made up some really stupid things with me not noticing any clues in the games, but I honestly thought this was true with fnaf 1 being the start, fnaf 2 was after fnaf with either the animatronics being dismantled or new, fnaf 3 had the animatronics had some type of accident with the area with what I thought was gas being on the animatronics with springtrap being a very decayed one, and then fnaf 4 is just with a child getting scared from the animatronics being dismantled but redesigned from something. I kind of didn’t end up believing this theory a few years later with my brain getting progressively smarter and not being interested in fnaf as time went on, but it was an incredibly dumb theory I made, just thought I mention.

It makes sense that's it's a sequel because the animatronics could actually be from the crying childs spirit and the missing children already have moved on by fanf 3

I actually think you play as Michael Afton. Like, think about it. The Crying Child’s room looked so much different than the one in FNaF 4. And the reason the nightmares are here is because Michael is traumatized by the animatronics because they bit off his brothers head.

Well, some of the Halloween update animatronics are canon to the game. At least Jack'O Chica, Nightmare Mangle, Nightmare BB, and Nightmarionne are canon in UCN. My theory is that they are demons punishing William Afton for what he did. Jack O'Chica would represent the fire of his Hell and she herself says: "Greetings from the fire, and from the one you shouldn't have killed." Implying that she's a fire demon to punish William for his heinous crimes. Nightmare Mangle would be another demon, and while he doesn't say anything at all when he kills you, it's still canon. Nightmare BB is also another demon created in William's hell, his phrases are just like any other animatronic punishing William in UCN. And finally, Nightmarionne is the main logo of UCN, and he's another demon that tells William about his Hell being a nightmare he won't escape, and since NIghtmarionne kills you if you leave the cursor there, the cursor itself would imply on what William is focusing his sight at, implying that if William focuses his sight at Nightmarionne for long he gets killed, and since William Afton experimented with his son to cause him nightmares, Nightmarionne is punishin by trying to get into his main focus point of sight to see how it feels to have your mentality manipulated into seeing horrible monsters that look real. Technically every UCN animatronic is a demon controlled by Cassidy, but I have the theory that the FNAF 4 Halloween animatronics were created by the Devil himself to give William the taste of his own medicine for making experiments with CC into seeing the Nightmare animatronics that looked real. Since the Halloween animatronics never existed canonically before UCN, they were only created canonically in UCN to give a feeling to William Afton to see what it felt like to see horrible characters you didn't expect to see. And if so, the Halloween update is cannon, that means CC's birthday was around October.

Honestly I still somewhat believe that Nightmare was death, but it eventually switched over to Nightmarrionne. This is (not only because he has the cooler design, but) because he can be seen as the opposite of the puppet; the puppet gives life, and Nightmarrionne takes life.

I remember that I had a theory about this game happened in 1987, and the crying child was actually the jeremy fitzgerald son, that got scared of the animatronics because jeremy brought him to the first night shift in fnaf 2, or something between those lines.
@bookmarkobjectanimations12310 ай бұрын
A theory i still have is that the game could still be in 87 rather than 83. The only bit of evidence i see proving that it's 83 is the tv, which doesn't prove anything because of two reasons, taping, and re-runs. So it could be 83, but likewise, it could also be 87

I would say the one problem with saying the TV is not accurate is the simple fact that that would be a red herring to just call it a rerun because if we’re supposed to solve the lore and that’s just a red herring, then we can’t progress until it’s been proven. It’s just a rerun.

I had a theory that foxy actually had his own restaurant at one time, and it was before freddy fazbears pizza. As you can see fnaf 1, foxy has a withered body, while the other animatronics are good as new. I thought that william made fredbears, experienced the bite of 83', opened foxy's (or whatever) then after he went out of business he opened freddy fazbears pizza. Yeah I know its dumb but it makes you think. And also why are the animatronics withered in fnaf 2 if it came before fnaf 1??? Also how is phone guy in fnaf 3 if he died in 1993 and fnaf 3 takes place in 2023??? Soooooo many questions.

I don't believe that the Halloween update itself was cannon (Other that BB which Scott approved back then for some reason?) but the characters in it were made up by Fazbear Entertainment for merchandise. Also, another theory I saw back then from before the game came out was that the Puppet was in the game. The proof was how in the trailer, you could see him running away outside of the right hallway when you peeked out the door. This was obviously Chica's reflection in hindsight, but I also remember something about the window in the Plushtrap teaser.

Is your theory the one about Fredbear and Nightmare being the same?

to this day I'm a staunch denier that dream theory was ever canon (for one basic reason being I'm giving Scott the benefit of the doubt of being a competent storyteller). I genuinely think the reason so many believed it at the time was because matpat essentially commanded the entire discussion of fnaf theories but that's just me lmao
@damkylan39 ай бұрын
That's the current consensus, and you are correct. Dream Theory was basically born from MatPat and others taking Scott's cryptic hints like, "Why is the Toy Chica toy missing her beak?" and then running with it... right off a cliff. Half of Dream Theory's reasoning is "lol FNAF is weird, it MUST be a dream". lol FNAF World was also in development at this time, and when it came out, it contained lore hints that pretty much established that the FNAF3 minigames really did happen. A complete invalidation of Dream Theory right after it had taken hold. It's likely, though not proven, that this was Scott's way of heading that idea off. Didn't exactly work, obviously. But he tried. That's kind of the story of FNAF4, World, SL, and PS all rolled into one. lol
