I Solved FNAF's Biggest Mystery: Part II (Survival Logbook Theory CONTINUED)

[@HyperDroid]

SUBSCRIBE! Did I convince you about this whole "DAVE" name yet? Let me know! :D I will say the claim that Dave is gotten more consistently than Cassidy is certainly a hot take, and one I know people will not agree with, although I'm just pointing out the inconsistencies between all of the letters. I did originally mention how the "MY NAME"s weren't on all her letters but apparently some versions are misprinted, some have them, some don't, so I'm not too sure what to make of that and just cut me saying they're "not on all of them" out the video to not spread misinformation - although the letter "i" definitely doesn't have it on the page the letter is solved, instead being on a page that redirects to it which means they're undeniably not on all of the pages the letters are solved and makes another inconsistency in the puzzle but neither here nor there... doesn't matter, cut it just in case! All in all I totally get if you disagree with that part, but it should be highlighted how different each of the letters were to solve while Dave's is simply point A -> B for all of them.

[@LadyLuckyLu]

Hell yeah you did. I was never convinced on Evan, and refused to call him as such. William, Elizabeth, Michael and then- Evan. David it's just 10 times better lmao.

[@torismith9360]

[@LuisLicona-n2m]

yo hyper droid you forgot the fnaf encyclopedia page 210 and 211 that's all about the crying child confirming that he is a FNAF 4 protagonist and that nightmare appears on his page plus not to mention FNAF 4 is his first debut and also mike and his friends are only 4 bullies so 4 is the magic number for Dave Afton and if you type 1983 in the week before book we get the bite of 83 recordings and Ralph somehow remembers it meaning he work at Fredbear's and at Freddy's at the same time in 1983. Also in the FNAF Mike talks to Ghost kid the spirit of golden Freddy who wants answers about his brother Garret and this also parallels Michel in the Games that he to try to talk to Cassidy about his brother Dave and tries to set both of them free! Specking of opposites of each other Dave and Cassidy have opposite personalities like Jack and Andrew in the stichwraith epilogues of Fazbear frights , one more thing is that the my name grave stone is drawn by mike with a flower vase on it and where else we see it no other then FNAF 4 meaning that the grave stone with a flower vase isn't cassidy's but rather then Dave's grave stone because Cassidy doesn't have a flower vase at the end of fnaf 6 with the other kids plus Charlotte.

[@Arandomperaon]

Yes definitely. Dave seems to be one of the most sensible answers I’ve seen for the past 6 years.

[@angelav4401]

"You should fire Dave. He sucks." -- One of the very first messages you find in SB

[@Kawa-oneechan]

The "One Steve Limit" is quite heavily averted in FNAF as a whole. There's at least four people in there named Jeremy that I know of -- the FNAF2 protag Jeremy Fitzgerald, the missing child who became Bonnie, the beta tester who cut his face off, and the subject of Comedian Bot's "jokes". So why not have three Daves, being the sucky one, William's alias, and the Crying Child?

[@chicabear]

​@@Kawa-oneechanto be fair I'm pretty sure the message is supposed to be an easter egg reference to Dave Miller, which by extension would also be connected to the crying child. But names are reused a lot, all the Jeremys (and if you really want to stretch Mike's coworker at the mall in the beginning of the movie is named Jeremiah), two Cassidys, one in game and one in the books, and Mike/Michael, Michael Afton, movie Mike, and Michael from the novel trilogy.

[@z24hourgamer2]

I like the "mike has to help with one letter in both names"

[@HyperDroid]

I can't believe I didn't realize that the first time, they both literally end in the same way which makes it feel much more intentional

[@ethans9379]

I think that really is the clincher here. It deals with the biggest counter argument against the solution without any difficulty

[@microwavedwaterr]

even if you don't add the extra nightmare drawing, I still think that answer fits because we know what Dave's "dreams" were like and they were HORRIFYING. I feel like remembering those dreams from the question alone would make you scared enough even without the visual clue

[@HyperDroid]

honestly my thoughts exactly but I know people want the intentionality of it all to make more sense, so while I do think it works without the image I think it's easier to convince people that WAS the intended "dreams" they're talking about with the image itself

[@phatslug7170]

yeah if my dreams had horrified versions of my plushies coming for my life at all angles i'd be terrified to even blink

[@RoyalKingOliver]

I also want to point out that when it comes to the conversation with Cassidy and Dave, if you take it into full context, Cassidy is trying to jog Dave's memory to see what he can remember. That last question with the Nightmare picture just screams that Dave remembers the horrible things that happened to him. It's such a natural response to say "I'm scared" when he remembers the nightmares he metophorically and literally experienced From a narrative standpoint, it fits to a tea.

[@jordandrinkwater1345]

"Do you have dreams (Showing Nightmare Fredbear)?" "I'm scared (of them (referring to the awful dreams he had))."

[@HyperDroid]

EXACTLY it seems so simple to me I don't see the complication

[@Mike14264]

While ideally, something like "I'm scared of them" would fit better... yeah, it still makes a lot of sense for this one loose piece of changed text to fit in the most likely question of all the remaining ones.

[@bigbungubingu8291]

@@HyperDroid My only issue is that from an author's perspective, why would the answers requiring a visual be so weird? "The party was for you" "it was for me" is as direct of a response as you can get, so "does he still talk to you" would make much more sense to have "i can hear a voice" or simply "he does" as an answer. The middle responses also show that the answer isn't supposed to be obscure, but obvious. So why wouldn't Scott or the editors make the answers fit better? We can just say "scott's a troll" but that's a cop out :/

[@Asa45400]

I want to add in something: the mirror is used for BOTH names if you think about it. When looking at the word search, you see two things, “WHO ARE YOU?” And “WHAT IS YOUR NAME?”. Looking to the next page, you see a giant (in your face) mirror with Faded Text saying “WHAT DO YOU SEE?”. This outright tells you to look for the answer in the word search. Collect all the clues, go to the word search, and solve it. This means that the mirror itself is the clue to solve both names, further adding to the fact that the way to solve both names are opposites of each other; or, in other words, REFLECTIONS of each other. You solve one mystery name by putting numbers in a word search, you solve another mystery name by putting words in a number grid. Symmetry, my friend.

Alright I'm sold. Before you released this video I didn't really have a strong opinion on what the CC name is it was likely Dave but i didn't really think much of it other than it being a pretty solid convenient answer. But now I'm completely sold on it being Dave.

[@anthonyrizzo2891]

The "do you have dreams" one is a little wonky but consider this I just thought of... What if Mike putting nightmare was a way for him to clarify what Cassidy was asking Dave... C: Do you have dreams? M: What about a Nightmare? D: I'M SCARED!!! it makes ALL too much sense in that context, considering how much even seeing an animatronic suit would terrify dave... If it was any other animatronic, I'd consider it less, but it's NAME IS FREAKING NIGHTMARE... and being we view Mike as trying to help the spirits communicate and find their names, it only makes sense that he gives each of them the final part they have been missing...

[@HyperDroid]

I should've kept that in the video I DID originally say after my quick explaination of part one "need more proof?" but cut it dammit

[@Shakkael]

You could look at this that way: Mike's input gives the last name of Cassidy's name and FIRST not last letter of Dave. You repeatedly say "last letter of Dave" because it's last before reflection, but it's actually first letter of the name further showing more connection by giving another contrast

[@JackDonaldson-gy2zu]

Another clue for “I can hear sounds” being a response to “does he still talk to you” is how this would play out in a real conversation. Cassidy asks, “does he still talk to you?” And BV responds with, “Well, I can hear sounds, but I don’t know if it’s him or not.”

ALSO, with Mike being the one helping with the last letter to both puzzles, it parallels how Michael wants to help both Cassidy and his brother to reach their end, end of their suffering, of their limbo, of their torment with freeing their spirits. Kinda poetic.

[@Exquisitecitrus]

As if the theroy wasn't good and solid enough with just the first video (it was), here's a second video to back up the theory even more. Honestly calling it a theory (essentially at this point) just feels like an understatement. I think it's a borderline fact. Once again, well done Hyper Droid

[@kiaraw.1436]

Not gonna lie, with Cassidy's puzzle being more complicated than the crying child, it kinda matches their personalities a little doesn't it? I mean, we don't know much about them personally, but Cassidy seems more active, less passive, we know she's angry and keeps William alive at any cost, she's very emotional. While the Crying child definitely would be more meek, keeping himself in line, just like his puzzle keeps to the same rules. Just a little thing that seemed curious to me, great video btw!

[@kiaraw.1436]

@Trontotario ok I'll just nod and agree because I definitely don't want to start arguing about book characters being canon or not for the games. I couldn't care less about being right with how chaotic is the frenchise 😅... So yeah, debunked.

[@EmotianalBrat]

@@Trontotariono it didn’t? FLAF confirmed Tales being Canon. There’s no way frights can be as canon as tales it will ruin the whole thing. We also know that Golden duo was confirmed in TWB and the only two possible spirits that can be in there are BV(Dave) and Cassidy as said in the logbook. But whatever I also don’t want to argue so sure Andrew is TOYSHK

[@Trontotario]

@ the week before didn’t confirm GoldenDuo it in fact confirms ShatterVictim or GoldenConduit. Also Tales and frights are canon because of the story frailty.

[@EmotianalBrat]

@ I don’t think that alll of tales is completely 1:1 so that’s why I’m ignoring fraility for now. Yes but TWB does imply that there are atleast 1 or two inside GF. Idk this is my opinion I don’t really wanna argue abt it anymore. Have a good day!

[@Trontotario]

@ They are all canon stop denying it. The week before confirms ShatterVictim since the crying child’s memories are haunting Freddy’s. We literally hear a recording of that said memory. Anyways yeah you’re wrong so goodbye 👋👋

[@limegreenlive7813]

This time, the theoy shall convince more!

[@the_godbodor7026]

Mike needing to help with the final letter in both names I think adds even more credibility as it’s showing him helping these two kids remember themselves, which is required for them to be able to move on and that is the goal we all agree Michael has, to help the kids souls finally pass on.

[@sk4534]

I believe I have the solution that explains the conversational language between Cassidy and David. Most theories I see go about the responses in the logbook being a Question/Answer solution (Cassidy asking the question, and David responding), but I believe it is the opposite. Cassidy, going through the book, notices statements made by another spirit (by altering the text), and then proceeds to try and ask follow up questions, some of which by using book relevant visual ques (Book images/Mike’s drawings): “I’m scared” -> “Do you still have dreams?” “I can’t see” -> “What do you see?” “It was for me” -> “The party was for you” “I can hear sounds” -> “Does he still talk to you?” In a literal sense, Cassidy, a child spirit, is interacting/writing responses, based on the text information provided (David’s statements) in a Children’s Activity Book. Great work HyperDroid, and the rest of the FNAF community who helped work out Crying Child’s name! (Edit: I realized that, in order to use visual cues, Cassidy would have to know who the spirit is that they’re interacting with. This would then mean that Cassidy knew who they were talking to [David], and was helping him [as well as potentially Mike/the reader] to remember who he is/what his name is.)

[@Creeper_Hacks]

Yeah I'm convinced with this theory lmao. I was a bit iffy on it when I watched your original video on the logbook but now that you've said this, I think its just a straight up fact honestly. Like even right now, I'm trying insanely hard to find SOMETHING in the theory that doesn't make sense and I can't think of anything. Which is an insanely impressive feat consider this is FNaF lol. Good job!

[@HyperDroid]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! :D

[@KStarPR]

With Cassidy's 11-12 questions only having 4* answers- there's an interesting detail. Dave only answers 4 of the 11 questions if you don't count "My Name" and potentially 5 of the 12 if you do count it. How many questions/statements does that leave behind? 7- the amount of letters in Cassidy's name. I'm sorta a FNAF bystander, watching from a distance- so idk if this is anything crazy, but it's interesting at the very least.

[@MayaKetchum]

I think the major issue people have with connecting "Do you have dreams?" with "I'm scared" is that these are adults trying to solve something and as adults we know that there's a difference between a dream and a nightmare, and they completely forget that it's a child responding to a question, a young child may refer to a nightmare as "a bad dream" because they don't know the word nightmare yet.

[@Spencycle]

This is not only making me gain appreciation for the Dave theory, but for the Logbook. Wow, that is some really clever puzzle-making!

[@EmotianalBrat]

Yup makes sense to me. I was already convinced but I’m even MORE convinced !

[@NaiFarang]

You turned a A tier theory to a S tier theory....congrats mate!

[@phantommoon11]

I want to add support onto this theory, as it’s something I’ve been thinking about since talesgames got confirmed with Edwin and his son, along with tiger rock. I think Dave/David Afton being the crying child’s name is only further supported by the fact that Edwin’s son is named David. You mentioned Dave Miller already, but if you recall there’s a David mentioned on one of the drawings in the fnaf movie, holding a party balloon, of course connecting the Dave/David Afton and his birthday. I wouldn’t be surprised if William named one of his kids after Edwin’s son, who so happens to have the same name. William, as we know, is an incredibly jealous person and would most likely do something like that to get back at Edwin, like how he killed Charlie to teach Henry a lesson. Why not do the same by naming his last kid after Edwin’s son who died? That would definitely make William feel superior. Another thing is that Edwin actually serves as a parallel/connection to both Henry and William, not just Henry like we thought. Like Henry, he’s an engineer, an inventor that goes on to influence future creations, while like William, he suffers from the loss of his son, who died in a tragic accident, becoming abusive as a result. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that both William and Edwin have a son named David, but that’s just me. Scott reuses names a lot, which in my opinion tells us how important a specific name is to the series. I really think talesgames being confirmed only further proves the Dave/David Afton “theory”. I’d like to add one more thing: both David’s are the reason why the events in fnaf happen in the first place; they fuel the mimic and William’s motivations as the core villains of the franchise, William for the original 6 games and the mimic for the modern games

[@destinywillowleaf219]

...unless i'm counting wrong i think if you take the coordinates in the other order (down then over) and rearrange the resultant letters you can get FROG. which probably doesn't mean anything but it's kinda funny that it happens anyway (unless something something it's a connection to Happy Frog and possibly then by extension the one you should not have killed switching around what they mediocres were supposed to say... but it's probably just a coincidence)

[@Mike14264]

That realization of how Cassidy's solution is actually more convoluted than Dave's... ...feels similar to when I realized that in FNaF 2, the Phone Guy never tells you that you should be faster at putting on the mask for the Withereds, and that's something Markiplier stumbled onto after being killed by W. Bonnie and W. Chica for about a video and a half. He just found the solution, we all saw it and accepted it as the default and the sensible thing to do, and now every time we play a fangame with a mask mechanic, we all put it on as quickly as possible, mainly due to PTSD, even if the game has no reaction time mechanics or at least not to such a ridiculous degree. And like, yeah, I know it sounds intuitive that you should put the mask on to hide from their sight as fast as possible, but with how lax Toy Freddy is (the only one that works just like the Withereds, weirdly enough), you don't really have a true reason to rush it. But the main factor for why Mark took so long wasn't even because the Phone Guy said nothing. It's how his reaction and its consequences were showcased. When you manage to trick Toy Freddy or a Withered into leaving, the screen flashes for a bit, and they disappear. When you don't do it in time, the sceeen flashes for a bit, and they disappear... and _then_ you get jumpscared after lifting the monitor. The winning outcome is presented to you in the same way as the losing outcome, so it makes things startling for you, definitely, but also kind of unclear. I mean, if it took Mark a whole video and the halfway point of the next one to think about putting the mask on more quickly, something was definitely lost in translation. And in terms of underexplained mechanics, here's one that's also really underutilized: the camera lights. To think those were the key for making FNaF 2's 10/20 mode beatable with 0% of RNG is kinda funny. Makes me wonder if Scott had meant them to play a more prominent role in the game. Well, if only the music box didn't wind down so quickly, maybe they would. And even then, the mask is already a serviceable safety net, so there's less given reason to use the lights lol

Why does no one consider the fact that “I can hear sounds” is a valid response to “Does he still talk to you”? The character saying that they can hear sounds basically just says they don’t hear a voice or language but they are still hearing something, which could be a form of communication from whoever “he” is or just some type of noise in general. If such a scary situation was happening to someone they aren’t going to just say “no I don’t hear someone talking” and just not say anything about the other noise they are hearing.

Maybe this is just me as an autistic person with a funky lil brain, but the answer to "Do you have dreams?" being "I'm sacred." always made perfect sense to me. It's still a legitimate answer in every which way, just an unusual one Not to mention... I just think it works with how children tend to talk anyway? They can be quite nonsensical with how they talk because they're still learning, growing & trying to understand language. They say things in a way that makes perfect sense to their young minds but might come across a little odd to us, more fully grown adults. In a way we have to interpret their language as though we were speaking two completely different ones "Do you have dreams?" "I'm scared." basically translates to "I experience dreams and they scare me." that's an answer a child would give without directly responding with a 'yes' or a 'no'

[@ReaganRayden]

I feel like the community has gaslit itself to overthink everything so much that even simple solutions appearing complicated even slightly makes them disbelieve theories. Or worse they drown out a plausible theory because they just really really like a different theory better narratively. Or even worse they do this subconsciously without even realizing that's the inward reason they disregard a theory.

[@khjwyxz]

My only real contention with this theory is Garrett. We already had example of character named in other continuity, and being the correct one in the games. the movie itself wants to solidify and correct some theories, like mike working at the FNaF 1 location, possibly Vanessa being an Afton, possibly showing GF as the "kipnapper" in MM. So why should be the CC name different? And not that is too different of a character (at least from what we see) to not follow this pattern. Even Abby is a 4th wall clue to being Baby anagram, so why not Garrett? Other than that, the theory is the best theory using the Logbook, so congrats : )

I believe it was Game Theory that said that if you use the page numbers for the questions you either don’t get a letter because the second letter is a zero or you don’t get a name. But context clues also work

What’s weird to me is that if Mike helps figure out a letter to both names, that means that he knows both the spirits. Dave makes sense because it would be his younger brother, but Cassidy doesn’t because they are just some random child that Afton killed. Unless you subscribe to the theory that the puppet/Henry’s daughter is named Cassidy in the game verse, meaning that it makes sense for Mike to know their name to, since Henry and Afton were work partners and their families would probably know each other

Honestly the thing that made me really buy the Dave name was its biblical (?) connection to the name Mike/Michael. I think just the two brothers in fnaf, a game made by a very Christian man, having the names Mike/Michael and Dave/David (probably at least) just makes sense.

[@SilvaShadow1990]

This, highly supported. I thought of the same thing because remember Scott doesn't do coincidences.

[@Trontotario]

Then why didn’t Scott choose a biblical name for the crying child stand in for the movie? Why William, Henry or Charlie? They aren’t biblical.

[@Trontotario]

@@SilvaShadow1990Also for the coincidence part the reason why the Evan theory was so popular was because it was the name of Jake’s dad who also has a brother named Michael.

[@pinkcupcake4717]

And, for English children born in the 70s-80s, they make perfect sense. Michael, David, and Elizabeth were all extremely popular at the time, which is why the names sound a bit old-fashioned to young ears. Those are names your dads or aunts or other Gen X Adults (TM) have.

[@HyperDroid]

agreed on this whole thing too but I also don't know too much about that stuff and do NOT wanna get any of that wrong so didn't add it to any of the videos 😅

[@horsesnivy4748]

In the book the silver eyes Charlie's dad describes one of his projects as "Be loved" the same meaning as David.

[@scott-steverump8111]

I never Had an odd feeling with "I am scared" as the answer to "Do you still have Dreams?" Like Bro is scared to dream after being bit by fredbear easy as that

[@magsjo]

The downside of his name not being Evan means i can't make jokes about it with my friend Evan

[@atheahatshizume658]

Funny enough how we solved the complicated puzzle first and then spent 10 years on the most simple puzzle of the book

[@jonashannes3793]

12:43 Part II It's a big change in the quality and you notice it right away thank you for your effort

[@lwi7338]

The sequel we didn’t hope to get but needed

[@kenna1up]

i LOVE the intense background music

[@AloneTheorist]

Wouldn't this mean these two are in the remnant Mike was implanted with in SL? The scooper implants remnant automatically as it swings, breaking through outer layers to do so. For Baby to revive him, Mike's skin would need both the endoskeleton pieces missing from Ennard's dispersal and a charge of remnant. They are also affecting Mike's book as he is writing in it and maybe even him in the cases of some drawings. Also why didn't Dave attend the party of happiest day in Fnaf 3? Although assumptive, since Cassidy and Charlotte are already at the party before you rescue the other guests, you end up with 6 guests and a Cake. If you fully complete; BB's air adventure, Mangle's quest, Chica's party, Stage 01 and RXQWFSC's mini game, you get a guest for the party. Yet strangely the guest RXQWFSC rescues, a darker coloured spirit IS NOT present at the party DESPITE being handed a cake. The four bright white spirits with grey tears join the party yet RWXQFSC's saved soul does not. Remember Charlotte and Cassidy are already there when you enter the happiest day mini game, so they can't be rescued. So why doesn't the shadowy soul of Dave go? In the logbook Cassidy tells him specifically "The party was for you." Meaning She and Charlotte were trying to help him. Why exactly didn't he go? The ONLY reason I have is that this was the moment he became TOYSHK. UCN is a living nightmare made by one little boy for the sole purpose of making William Afton suffer. It appears to be made of memories, particularly this boy's memories of suffering and agony. It also contains heavy connections to Fnaf 4 and World, 2 games associated with the memories of Dave Afton. It's Toy Chica intermission even ties the scene of Fnaf 4's night 6 mini game to the events of midnight motorist, as a sort of day(Fnaf 4, night 6 mini game) and night (Later that night, Midnight Motorist) event pairing with a Statement.

[@AloneTheorist]

Sorry for the Wall of text.😅 I just didn't fancy leaving 3-4 comments to say what I wanted to. If you'd like to query any section of my comment, I'll try to keep my replies as brief as I can. (Some topics may have more evidence than others or require multiple games to be spoken of, so may take longer to explain.)

[@landonvang6705]

I agree and I think this is a great theory, only problem I can see is people are going to say “Nuh uh” or something like that (mainly to the “I’m scared” response) it’s just mighty unfortunate

[@justaviewer000]

With this theory at hand, I'm sold to it being Dave. Idc if other disagree but I truly believe this is solid enough. No questions required.

[@seijiren5115]

Bravo man, this became really solid

[@somedude6351]

I feel like the biggest problem people have with the Dave theory is that it's actually TOO simple. They can't accept that such a big mystery was unsolved for so long when it was that easy. Or that it was so easy when Cassidy was harder and messier. Personally I fully agree with it though and Dave/David seems extremely plausible

[@creatorsoulchan]

the thing i find funny about his name being dave is ppl used to call michael david before yknow, scott revealed his name.

[@porcelainchips6061]

The party "was" for you. Is it possible that Happiest Day was suppose to be for Dave, but was given to Cassidy instead? Scott, in his 6 games (it has been said repeatedly that he is retired and that Steel Wool is in charge of their own narrative at this point) liked to really focus on using the exercise of playing through a gameplay sequence as part of the storytelling. Is it possible that happiest day kept "happening" but didn't actually complete, because all the correct flags weren't triggered yet? We have to play through and cause the flags to trigger in all the arcade games, to then cause Happiest Day to trigger successfully so we can get the good ending. You can go into the room; you can see everything lined up, but if you didn't do all the bits the cake and final animation doesn't happen. Could the logbook be showing us how Mike had to get involved to make everything actually happen? Is it possible the log book alerted him to the existence of the ghosts, which then allowed him to figure out how to trigger happiest day?

[@Nightmare_quest]

I feel like the question and answer is backwards. It seems more sound when you say. 'i can hear sounds' then 'does he still talk to you'. Or 'it was for me' then 'the party was for you' but that falls apart at the 'do you have dreams' and 'im scared' cause fliping the order doesn't do much. Or the 'what do you see' to 'i cant see' which is already sound on its own. i dont know if someone has already brought that up somewhere. But it just sounds better i guess. You did super awesome, even if some don't like it.

[@F3lipe-u8x]

So basically Cassidy: Yo Michael, help me out here with Dave's acquired memory loss (which you directly contributed to) ☺️

[@Killtakis]

Yes, there is a 2 part !!!!!

[@ch0irmast3r]

Afton really be doin Undercover Boss with his son’s name

[@Fllie-ISyourBestie]

I like that he said everyone overlooked the part with Michael being the one to solve the final letter... NOT TRUE I commented on the game theory video on his video and pointed this OUT and I'm sure others have as well so If you guys wanna go and find game theory's video and find my comment you can because I went more in depth on this

[@Fllie-ISyourBestie]

I am only a little upset on this because he did watch game theory's reaction to his video since hyper droid commented but maybe he didn't see it I didn't have much replies and only had about 500 likes on it

[@Fllie-ISyourBestie]

I even checked with a different account and my comment was in the top comments

[@gabrielortiz3811]

Baller theory. No other words needed.

[@Queen_Audrey1803]

HES AT IT AGAIN

[@Finnijk]

Full respect to you but people like you who just figure out super complicated stuff is just crazy like just a different brain that solves things. Reminds me of like Cod Zombies stuff like sometimes things are so complicated it makes you think like how did you guys figure this stuff out.

[@djuv4375]

I accept Dave as a name. It's alot better than people calling him cici. Also, I guess it makes sense, since one is vengeful, and the other one moving on.

[@Myrsky-s2f]

I already agreed with the theory but now I'm 99%convinced

[@teasteel4900]

yeah, it makes sense. Crazy how people missed this over how many years?

[@NobodyUndefined]

4:39 and this is why I hate the FNaF fandom, sorry not sorry but it's full of idiots. People criticize Scott for making the game too hard to understand but it's definitely 50/50 with difficult lore and a fandom who can't make their minds up.

[@ZAWGREAL]

Its time

[@TheGreatBadCat]

This is gonna sound crazy, but I think this actually made me feel less confident in this theory somehow
