So gonna pin this comment here for anyone with frequently asked comments over the last few days! Q1. How could William be springlocked after FNAF 1 if the room is sealed when Phone Guy is still alive? A1. Here's a KZbin Short I made on the subject: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6C0ZWqpp5ekqdU&ab_channel=TheUnwitheredTruth Q2. Baby's Lines mean the springlock was used for nefarious purposes A2. Maybe? I toyed with the idea that Afton got the springlocks intentionally decommissioned, but struggled a bit with the reasoning. Not 100% on what it would be if she did mean to imply that, but regardless, my point is that the fact there's a springlock in a game named Sister Location - a title which comes from a tape about springlocks, means, in my mind, the only reasonable explanation is that Scott wanted to answer the question we had from FNAF 3. Q3. Do you believe in WillCare? William doesn't care about his kids. A3. I don't believe in WillCare - just based on the way Scott has described his intentions with the story, I don't think his intention is to make Afton a "tragic" figure, even if that means a more complex story. I believe that (if Dave does indeed die first as I suggested here) then William wants Henry's family to be as broken as his. It's a choice made out of spite of Henry, rather than grief or love for his children. If there are more I see frequently asked/commented I'll make sure to add them. Thanks for over 100k views!

For the 2nd one a theory I heard is that William use the spring lock suit to get rid of the evidence for Elizabeth’s death. When Elizabeth died William did not wanting to bring suspicion to the funtimes So he made it look like Elizabeth was killed by the springlocks Hence the whole “ at least not the way it was meant to be used” and baby connections/knowledge of it

This is definitely one of my favorite theory videos. But there's a contradiction in the last segment. If Dave died first, couch person from MM would have to be the mom, so she should be present during the fnaf 4 minigames, looking after the kids
@LizBlizzard3 ай бұрын
I always took the "not the way it was meant to be used" as "they hid bodies in it." Because, you know, wearing the suit at all (either to entertain guests or to kill kids) would be using it for the purpose it was made for: to be worn when not in animatronic mode. So I don't think the "nefarious purposes," as addressed in this comment, are the thing that needs to be debunked.

@@Pikza203 A theory that goes around is that she divorced Afton and didn't want any form of contact with him (even through their kids) or has unalived herself after losing custody of her children. This could've been before Michael started to bully Dave. Because Afton would rarely be home because of the launch (or rising fame) of Fredbear's and couldn't care less to hire a babysitter, he'd leave his children alone in the house, which would make Michael the responsible one since he was already a teenager.

I like the point you make on remembering first and foremost that this is Scott trying to tell a story rather than create an intricate history lesson with no room for error. As a writer myself I agree it's the best way to view this series and remain at least somewhat sane.

Knowing from what can glean from Scott in his not so abundant online presence, I think he is first and foremost a storyteller and a far second puzzle maker (Sorry Scott lol). With his personality in mind, it makes sense why everything about FNAF "doesn't seem to fit quite nicely" because yeah, it really wouldn't. I bet you Scott never really intended for FNAF to be an epic and yet here it is shaping up to be one. You could even argue that it already is one. So, boops and bopss here and there was bound to crop and there is only so much Scott can do and think ya know? So, FNAF is definitely more story-driven than puzzle-driven.

I've been on a huge kick lately of being less obsessed with lore and worldbuilding and logical details, and more on the ideas and themes within stories. I think that a lot of modern franchises are leaning too far into the logical details, this idea of one consistent lore, and that modern audiences are being trained to see things through that lens when really, that's kind of a recent approach to storytelling in the grand scheme of things. In older stories, the details didn't matter - the ideas did, and what those ideas were trying to share were more important than any of the inconsistencies.
@DemocraticZombie3 ай бұрын
@@Mega-Brick I got that kick too, for the past 3 years and it's been weird. Lore can be fun but one of the problems is that there is always a limit, whether it's how much the author can write, or if viewers are looking too deep into something like the ending in FNAF 1 with the termination paper meaning anything other than Scott just joking. The biggest problem I had, which started the kick for me with Attack on Titan, was everyone being more focused on arguing the small details instead of how the story will go, or like you mentioned the ideas and themes within the story. It's nice when there are things behind a story but the story itself should have meaning and be enjoyable on its own. If you wanna see a prime example of a story's lore conflicting with the themes of the story itself, check out Killzone and the debate on whether the Helghast were actually the bad guys, the developers intended for it to be nuanced but a lot of fans put a spin on it that gets a little tense...

@@DemocraticZombie I blame the rise of CinemaSins and other professional nitpickers, at least to an extent. "Why didn't Frodo just fly to Mt Doom on an eagle?" should never have become an actually serious genre of questions. In general, I think it helps to recontextualise any lore discussions as less of an "archeology paper" and more storytelling in it's own right. Yes, when making a theory you're still sticking to an overarching narrative as told by Scott or some other creator, but that narrative usually just consists of individual data points that you have to connect. Like a large paint-by-numbers puzzle with most of the numbers missing. And the focus on finding The One True Way to connect all the dots, I think, is a bit unfortunate, because there likely isn't one in the first place. Instead the fun lies in telling your own story within the confines of the lore. But as long as most people are more interested in definitively "solving" the lore - or watching Game Theorists solve it - that will always be the dominant way in which people approach these games: Like Scott is an omniscient puzzle maker who plucks events from a fully formed and consistant history that we just have to piece back together.

Scott isn't a good storyteller, and surely he doesn't have a solid explenation for everything.

FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS IT OUT LOUD: FNAF should be treated as Scott writing a story, not fitting puzzle pieces together to form a whole. I always viewed FNAF this way, as it makes the most logical sense and it helps explain the confusing points in the games. I'm so happy that sister location was placed after fnaf 1 because I never thought it made sense for it to take place before FNAF 1. This video is outstanding at explaining the meaning behind Scott's writing choices, while also giving unbiased evidence that the games AND the silver eyes trilogy gives us. I was always confused on why the funtime animatronics would exist before the MCI, but this video helped explain why it does make sense and helps fuel William's motivation. This suggests that William was always into the supernatural and had a thing for science since the beginning, not just because of his ego being so high that he wanted to ruin Henry's life and reputation. I 100% agree with this take and I'm so glad you explained the quiet parts out loud. It all makes sense and I'm shocked we missed the sister location connection from FNAF 3.

Well, stories are still criticized for having plot holes and inconsistencies. So why can’t those criticisms be said about the FNAF lore?

I don’t agree with blaming the fans for giving constructive criticism

@@ki11aqueen5 oh of course! I agree that FNAF can be criticized, especially since there’s been a lot of issues over the years with trying to tell the story. Yeah Scott never knew from the beginning what he was doing and had to write the story on the spot, hence why there’s so many inconsistencies if he couldn’t draft it out first from the beginning. Makes sense for him to change things up if they don’t fit his vision, but at the same time it’s led to a lot of problems with the games and how the story is being told.

Scott wouldn't have gone on to make a game called Sister Location if it wasn't meant to the be connected to the only previous mention of a Sister Location. Also neither fnaf 4 or SL is a reboot. A reboot is when you restart the story from scratch, 4 and SL are sequels, Scott didn't start the story over with either of them, there are still connections to the previous games, and if they were "reboots" as you say then none of the games after them would reference things from the games before those two if they were meant to be the start of a brand new story, but, Fnaf 6 and the games after directly include things from fnafs 1-3 so idk where you got this "reboot" idea from, unless you have no clue what that word actually means.

It would appear that I've reached the point in my obsession with FNAF lore that I start screaming and cheering at my screen when someone points out that Hand Unit is talking about the rental company and not the restaurant. FNAF is my football I guess. Also, I appreciate that in both of your videos so far, you make a point to factor in the context in which these games and books are made. They're works of art made by humans, the why and how of their creation is important!

the way Baby says the line makes it seem like someone used the suit in a way that isn't intended like say to lure kids away to be killed. if it was supposed to mean that someone wore it, and it sent into animatronic mode while worn then she said the line poorly.
@jupiter_ghost3 ай бұрын
Honestly, I always thought the interpretation for baby's "I don't think it was ever used. At least, not the way it was *meant* to be used. Too dangerous" to be "The suit wasn't ever used by Afton to kill" (because we know *his* intentions for the suits were to use them to kill) because it was "too dangerous" for him to do so, and therefore to her knowledge was never used

This was definitely an interesting take and i love how straightforward it is with detangling a lot of lore and meanings behind things within the game and those that came before. One theory that I had that came to mind fairly recently is that there may have been more than one Sister Location and Circus Baby's is one of the only known 'sister locations' we know of and the others were never mentioned or revealed. There could have been more Circus Baby's locations or other locations that don't connect or even relate to Circus Baby's at all and they could have had similar incidents with springlocks like we see/hear about in the games.

Only thing that is missing is when or how Afton asked Michael to put his sister back together. He was sealed when Michael entered the bunker, but if Afton gave Michael directions ("it was right where you said it was"), it shouldn't have taken him that long to find it. I guess there could be a lot of time between him breaking down animatronics and when he comes back for Golden Freddy.
@UnwitheredTruth3 ай бұрын
I considered discussing it but it's really only speculation rather than properly evidence based. I like to imagine that William knew the risks of breaking into Freddy's to get their remnant - so he set up a dead-man-switch which Michael received at some point near to the start of SL. "Michael - if you're reading this, then I am dead. And there are things you should know about my past..." type beat.

8:38 If she witnessed a springlock failure, then that could tie into "Remember what you saw". If William (via one of the fredbear nannycam plushies) telling David/CC "Remember what you saw" is referring to a springlock failure he witnessed, and Elizabeth knows about springlock failures, then this could mean that both David and Elizabeth witnessed a springlock failure possibly in the *employees only/red-door room* at Fredbears sometime before the events of the FNAF 4 minigames. This might explain why Elizabeth and Mrs. Afton are absent during the events of FNAF 4, they might be away at therapy due to Elizabeths trauma. If they are, then why does David not have therapy? Who knows, maybe he wasn't as severely traumatised as Elizabeth, maybe he does just at a different schedule.

This is really solid. If you'll permit me, I have two questions about the last bit, where you talk about the early days. Honestly, it makes sense why you didn't discuss them here, but I've got curiosity. 1. What is your opinion on the grave order in Help Wanted and how/if that interacts with this theory? You present Dave, then Charlie, then the MCI kids as the Death Order, but a not uncommon interpretation of the graves place Charlie last. 2. Where's the SAVETHEM minigame fit in with the murders? You don't mention them, so I'm curious.
@JaydenBakare3 ай бұрын
I'm pretty sure the HW2 grave order is meant to represent the order the MCI victims were put to rest. Plus, there have been things that have hinted at the death order in other installments. There's more evidence for it being Susie, Jeremy, Gabriel, Fritz then Cassidy.
@damkylan33 ай бұрын
1. As stated, most likely when they were put to rest. If you take UCN and Frights into account, it makes a lot of sense. Cassidy remains after 6, but eventually departs from UCN and rests her soul, as OMC bids her, leaving William to Andrew. Charlie may or may not also be hanging around in UCN, but even if she isn’t, she’s still around because she is the one to destroy William in the end in Frights. Only then does she rest, the last in the grave order. 2. An event Scott wants us to forget. But, if I were to try and make it fit, it could be William experimenting yet again, this time without direct contact between the deceased and the robots to see if there’s a reaction. And there is, and they want his head for it, so he pisses off to the day shift.

The HW2 graves are not the death order, thats just impossible. The HW2 grave puzzle is one giant reference to Happiest day. The dolls are placed on graves in the order that the 5 children arrive to the Party, with the exception of Freddy whos minigame can be completed on any night unlike the others whos minigames can only be done on certain nights. The puppet is the final grave because they arrive last to the party and deliver the cake to the children. This Easter egg is then used to open the door leading to the bonnie mask, which is again another reference to Happiest day. The Bonnie mask was worn by the bully in Fredbears and the layout of Fredbears is litterally just the Happiest day minigame but flipped backwards

Honestly, the way Scott does FNAF reminds me, more than anything, of a DM/GM. Especially the way he clarifies things when players ask, even if not in the clearest manner, and brings back old plot threads/characters people seemed to like or got confused by. That sort of responsiveness you don't get from traditional media or even most games. Also, as someone who has run games, I sympathize with throwaway lines that spiral into monsters and making things up by the seat of your pants. Neither are bad things, that's what makes it fun. The idea of Scott as storyteller is the reason I really like MatPat's last big multi-part timeline. It may not have been 100% accurate, but it was a fun story to sit back and listen to.

I'm actuality delighted you pointed this out! I've been running D&D games for about four years now and I ALWAYS use it as reference for when I'm analysing FNAF.

In that cutscene, Ennard separates from Mike, Mike comes back to life, and William survived the FNAF 3 fire. That’s 4 separate characters still alive and roaming around, and it just so happens that William, Michael, Baby, and Ennard are all in FNAF 6. “I’m going to come find you” is indicative of Mike reuniting with his father, and his sister, in one big happy family.

People have spent years picking apart every little detail only to be told "oh those details don't matter, but THESE ones do." Everyone picks and chooses which details are relevant so they can construct a narrative because truthfully Scott is a very piss poor storyteller. Without doing so you end up going crazy other all the details that Scott would probably now consider as mistakes. Which is infuriating for long time fans to be told that the details we've been analyzing for so long were never even relevant because Scott one day got bored and decided he wanted to change the direction of the story.

I like the premise of the video, that we can hinge everything around "Sister Location" being connected to "the sister location". The problem is that Scott has had to change the direction of the story before so we can't actually count on his intentions at the time of creation. Look at "the box" from FNAF 4 having to be scrubbed from relevance. That's why I generally prefer looking at hard evidence that can't be moved without there being retcons to official lore, rather than shaky evidence such as plot threads Scott might have been pointing us to.

Thank you for addressing the fact that a lot of previous theories and timelines have huge, untenable time gaps in them. I’ve heard multiple people claim that Michael was a walking corpse and chasing after his father for what ends up being over a decade, which if you actually think about, is pretty ridiculous. Molten Freddy wandering around for 30 years? Without being spotted by ANYONE? Just asking the simple question of what were all the characters doing during those time gaps makes them fall apart almost immediately. There are huge leaps of logic you need to make in order to answer questions about certain characters managing to exist for these huge stretches of time without people spotting, discovering, or destroying them. I’m just glad someone pointed out the illogic of assuming the time gaps that are produced by some theories are correct. If your theory requires monsters to have been free roaming unchallenged for more than a few years, then you might need to rethink it.

Even to add to that further, consider that Henry's plan was to lure all the remaining souls back by creating a new Freddy's and gathering as much remnant/agony fuelled memorabilia of the past. But, if in those 30 years, there was THREE different Fazbear restaurants/attractions, you think Molten Freddy or Scrap Baby would have slinked their way to Freddy's at least once.
@jesoko67242 ай бұрын
@@UnwitheredTruth yes, I agree. There are, for sure, reasonable explanations to these huge time gaps but they almost always end up giving me more questions. For example, one could argue that maybe Scrap Baby/Molten Freddy went into some sort of hibernation for close to three decades so they were never seen- but then I ask why? Where? And what woke them up? And why wake up now? You could argue they were trapped somewhere but if they were, then how did they get out? And how did Henry not find them? And if they were already trapped, why didn’t he just change plans and destroy them where they already were? Occam’s razor says that’s too many questions for the theories to be correct. Until Scott says so, any huge time gaps are probably wrong.

I love this theory. It matches my original thoughts on the early days of circus babys pizza world but disproves my placement of the events sister location in my personal timeline(i originally placed it before the events of fnaf 2) and changes the rest of my timeline as a whole. I originally thought that at this point william would go into hiding after the MCI under an alias and leave michael(who would be 17 at this point since i considered him to be 13 during the bite of 83) with instructions to free his sister. He would then discover his father’s motives and also get scooped which would set him on a mission to undo his fathers actions setting him up as the nightguard in night 7 of fnaf 2 and the nightguard in all of fnaf 1. Both times he would try to get them scrapped only succeeding with the toys but failing to get the classics scrapped. In my personal timeline scrap baby and molten freddy would exist a lot earlier which i didnt really have a problem with but now i cant work with that since now i know the funtimes aren’t possessed yet which would mean that they only one who was possessed was baby which now thinking about it wouldnt make sense for afton to return to the fnaf 1 location to harvest remnant since he doesnt have the funtimes to experiment on. The new timeline that you proposed makes a sense and mends the plot holes that mine had and honestly is better. But it sucks that now in the new timeline mike and fritz are just unlucky individuals who happen to smell bad and are not actually jus aliases for michael afton:( I also had michael set up as this rlly cool protagonist who seen it all and knows the weakness of each animatronic but now it turns out he was only involved in fnaf 3, sister location, and pizzeria simulator which is a little late to the party. But still i completely endorse your new timeline and will probably use it going forward:)

I mean, Fritz and Mike could both still be Michael Afton, just that he hasn't been scooped yet and is just a regular guy. The Logbook and FNAF 4 nightmares do imply that Michael was at both the FNAF 2 and FNAF 1 locations as well, not to mention "Smith" and "Schmidt" are the same name just in different languages or something. So he doesn't have to just be involved in 3, SL, and PS, but if he was in 1 and 2 as well then he wouldn't have experienced Sister Location yet according to this theory.

@@legoboy7107 i never thought of that actually. I guess it would still make sense for him to go to the fnaf 1 and 2 locations even before he got scooped now that i think about it. That would also mean that this michael even as a regular guy never took showers.
