The Remnant Trials [VHS]

Watch with high volume for the fullest experience!
Many years back, during the prime era of Circus Baby's Pizza World®, william afton (a.k.a springtrap) was self-obligated to pursue his research into the supernatural, after the untimely death of his daughter Elizabeth Afton (a.k.a Circus Baby). This tape features clips from the various experiments he was able to conduct within the ██████ ████████ beneath the Afton Estate. Watch at your own discretion...

Throughout this project, we really wanted to illustrate afton's slow decent into madness. If you pay attention to his tone of voice during the video, he appears composed at the beginning, with an almost scientific attitude, but becomes more frantic near the end.

"Your body was donated to science!" "That's funny, donation usually requires consent... and for the donor to be dead" This short interaction really shows how disconnected Afton is. Attempting to pass off his murder as not *technically* killing anyone, but Foxy using the snarky remark to prove him wrong got them a jolt. At this point, Afton doesn't quite want to accept what he's done, as if his psyche is _trying_ to protect him from a total psychotic breakdown... though as we know, that doesn't really work too well.

[@greened9406]

[@theidioticgamer724]

Afton designed the sister location animatronics to capture and kill children. Circus baby killed his daughter after she was found alone by the robot. This left Afton heartbroken, and caused him to scare his youngest son out of ever going to a Fazbear location at all. Hence the events of FNAF 4. The nightmare animatronics were designed to be as scary as possible on purpose. However, his youngest son (the person you play as in FNAF 4) was killed when Michael Afton (his oldest son) put his head in Freddy's mouth to scare him. Freddy's mouth shut and the youngest son was killed. You play as Michael in Sister Location and pizza simulator. Sorry for the essay lmao, I don't like the games much but the lore is some of the best crap I have ever read.

They all had such cohesive thoughts- I was expecting an innocent child's broken up confusion more than anything. Things like "Where am I?" "Why am I in so much pain?" "Why is it so cold?" from a child's voice.

[@annexhion5343]

I think this might be because injecting remnant into these robots with AI is essentially combining the AI with the memories and souls of the children, so they aren't quite completely in the mindset of a child anymore..The animatronics have their own voices in the first place (after all, Afton made them able to "lure" children with voice lines), hence why the voices themselves aren't childrens' voices.

Also, it's ridiculous how detailed this plot is and I LOVE love how the idea stemmed from Afton's almost experimentation-like actions when he had done his murders and stuffed his victims into suits for "immortality." cause I never understood his intentions in the game, but this series almost fills the holes for the game in a way. The end is absolutely chilling by the way and ALSO how you connected William wanting to have his daughter back which is the reason as to why he was doing this experiment is 🔥🔥 although if I could recall he was already killing children before.

Baby is the one talking not Elizabeth. Of course Baby doesn’t remember anything because she’s not Elizabeth she’s now a sentient AI.

I JUST realized that when Afton starts laughing, his voice starts breaking and rasping into his Springtrap voice! That’s so eerie, but amazing foreshadowing…

[@Grace-mj1is]

This is great, I love it. I especially love how, despite Afton being an irredeemable villain, he still has more feelings than just "insane murderer", as he's often portrayed in fan media. When it gets to Circus Baby you can hear his desperation to communicate with the daughter he lost, and it seems like he genuinely loved her. His composure is lost, he's stuttering, he's desperate to be able to talk to her. And when he can't, he loses it. He's more than "horrible pure evil villain man", he's "desperate grieving father who ALSO is a horrible pure evil villain man". A great antagonist portrayal gives them more depth than just how evil they are (in my opinion), and I think you nailed it. He's got a motive to want to kill. (EDIT: Just in case I'm giving off the wrong message, I'm not saying that Afton is "secretly a good guy underneath that tough exterior [insert pleading face]" or "his past excuses his actions". I'm saying he's a terrible person, I just really like how in this video he's actually given a lot more depth rather than the only character trait he has being "evil". He is in no way a good person. He just feels more real. Hope that makes sense!)

Behind all the murders he still is just a broken man who wants nothing more than to see his family again

[@workerdroneyeva]

These tape's interest me for 3 reasons. Reason 1, Circus Baby: The fact that Circus Baby is at 100% remnant capacity and yet she cannot or seems unable to remember anything leads to 2 possibilities, either: Elizabeth is playing pretend as she did in Fnaf SL, toying around with her father or Elizabeth's soul has simply not awakened when the 4th tape was made and is in an unconscious state. If possibility 1 is true Elizabeth drove William to a state of insanity. Reason 2: The other "Experiments" seem less advanced that the ones he did on the fun time animatronics, the Toy's and Originals being far less advanced that the Funtime's. This may hint at the fact that either: William did not want to re-create the Funtime technology as it would be harder to mask or.. William wanted to the dirty work himself as it made him feel better about himself. Reason 3: The last scene is interesting as in "Foxy's interview" Golden Freddy take's Afton away to a undisclosed location. Enn-ard is not taken with them so this means that either: This scene is a prologue to Foxy's interview and Afton was still in the groups possession or Enn-ard somehow found where Golden Freddy went.

[@trashman1084]

I actually think your right about Ennard finding where Golden Freddy and the Phantoms took Afton. Because if I recall correctly when Withered Bonnie and Ennard asked those 2 guys for help at the end of An Interview With Foxy, Bonnie said that he had an idea of where "Goldie" and some of the others had taken Afton. (The Fnaf 4 House) So imo I would say that those 2 probably helped Bonnie, Ennard and possibly the others who were left in the Warehouse get to where Bonnie figured Afton was taken. However, the place that Ennard and Afton are in at the end of this video doesn't look like anything like the Fnaf 4 House. As you said it could be when the group had control of Afton while in the Warehouse, Or could this possibly be an unseen moment of when Ennard took over the body of Afton's Interviewer in the beginning of An Interview With Afton right as Lefty had opened everyones doors? (I highly doubt that, just throwin' it out there) And yeah, I did an awful amount of research to write this comment that very few people will probably ever see XD

@@trashman1084 this makes alot of sense. and consodering that ennard is about 3 or 4 people (if bon bon has a soul) then their collective abilities to recall things would help them remember where they had been since becoming an animatronic. also, several of thoughts ending scenes seem to be in the G.E.M.S facility, which could lead to a few things: 1. Ennard is responsible for the facilitie's power loss, and released everyone. this is why he is up in the top of the room at the beggingin of his interview. he had just returned from a vent. 2. Afton is responsible for the power loss, and was confronted by ennard at the box almost immediatly. 3. those final lines where just before the video "an interview with foxy" and was Ennard's reaction to some of Afton's words. really, a lot about J-gem's universe is just amazing

[@crystalcat1002]

@@pjdianalan7934 1: SL takes place pretty early on in the timeline. 2: I didn't say the *main* antagonist, I said the *true* antagonist. Although William was already a murderer, it was Baby's scooping of Elizabeth that led Afton to begin researching remnant. And I simply don't buy that Elizabeth possesses Baby, at least 100%. She speaks like a poet in the games and in the books. How could a 7 year old girl who hasn't had a conversation in decades be this good of a speaker? And even if that's just a coincidence, how could a 7 year old understand how to use such a contraption like the scooper? On top of this, none of the other funtime animatronics are posessed by a child, despite having multiple souls. Why is Baby so special? And on the subject of killing kids, Afton has reasons for killing children. Circus Baby does it purely out of entertainment, and we can prove this. The souls of the robots in Sister Location believe that Michael Afton is William Afton, and kill him. That includes Elizabeth. Circus Baby wanting to "obey her father" is all bullshit. She willingly manipulates "William" into getting killed, so that she can leave sister location. The REAL reason Baby follows Afton around is because she believes that together, they make a good team. That would explain why Baby is comfortable around Molten Freddy, the robot hosting the souls who kicked her out of the Ennard tribe. Circus Baby is the embodiment of all of Afton's failures as a human being. She is a monster designed to kill, and only kill. And judging if you believe this the Bite of 83 takes place after Elizabeth's death, Baby could've been responsible for the corruption of Afton in the first place.

[@nov_icee]

I think the reason how the souls regain so much vocabulary instantly could lead to two things: One, Afton could have experimented on the souls on either the same animatronics OR DIFFERENT ONES so they remember their encounters with Afton but for instance Ballora might've not been tested on that much due to the fact she doesn't remember Afton's voice despite the fact she was killed. However, F. Foxy might've been tested on a ton as he even goes on about consent for donations before shutting down, even though he's at 30% remnant. What's odd is that it doesn't seem like he remembers much of the incident, despite the fact he knows about consent...... somehow must have remembered that somewhere else Two, is that if someone dies, they still keep their memories and vocabulary in like a broken state or something But hey.. thats a theory...

[@bluedemon6989]

From these tests we can conclude that: 1. These "Experiments" have a knowledge of knowing their past lives if their remnant capacity is at 0%. For instance, Funtime Foxy and Ballora regained their consciousness of who they were before being murdered because the animatronics remnant capacity was at 0 percent the first time William tested on them. 2. If an animatronic's remnant capacity is at 0% and if they add a little "Remnant" in the animatronic's body, the subject will fall in a sleep of unconciseness according to William. 3. The reason why Baby wasn't able to remember her past life was because William had might have "overfilled" the remnant capacity of the animatronic because William said Circus Baby was the one who killed his daughter.
