I always thought is was obvious the 87 bite was the day guard in 2. “The animatronics have been hostile towards adults” “a position just became...available” “make sure they don’t hurt anyone”. Also in 1: “it’s amazing the human body can LIVE without the frontal lobe.” The 4 kid flatlined...and 2 is dated in 1987. That’s just the theory I like, I could be off.

Yeah I didn't exactly know why people were breaking their heads over it, it was pretty much obvious who the bite victim was. However who the BITER was, is the problem. The most probable would be mangle but even then it dosent feel certain

[@jockvbdeutschland2107]

@@theoverlord3937 you're forgetting a crucial detail about this though. Finding out the name of a character is crucial due to connections in the books, how they tie in with the lore, and knowing the name of someone will solve some loose ends, that way fnafs time-line won't be messy and all over the place. That's the whole reason why fazbears fights exists. It's to tie up loose ends that the series has left in the main 7 games, whilst the series is still on hold with new lore with vanny and William, and the lore in the AR Game. The purpose of these books is to shine light on things we overlooked or didn't dive too deep into

[@itshappyhyrda3970]

To me this is the most scary FNaf game other than fnaf 5

[@glitterfish2]

I know that this is isn't a serious comment, but the bedroom he's in is actually most likely a nightmare - if you look at his bedroom in the minigames, it has a different layout. My guess is that it takes familiar elements to him (his bed, closet, and look of his room) and twists them to resemble either a nightmare scenario (where he's unable to close and lock the doors and can be attacked from both sides) or his hospital room (the flowers, IV fluid stand, and pill bottle that show up sometimes by his bedside). Edit: April 2021: nevermind lol the room is definitely real. But I’m not sure if the events that take place in it are real or not, kinda like the Fake Ending of Sister Location.

Chances are, you're going to die a lot the nights you face him, so that way, you can crank up the volume, and get a bit creeped out and focus on trying the night again. Edit: It's also a bit of a jumpscare just to see him in the hallway since his design is so creepy (imo).

[@Wasker20233]

He so massive too he 12ft tall

[@Bradleybus]

People will say his design is too overboard, but I really think it calls to some of our innermost basic instincts. It's like seeing some massive bear in front of you, bloodthirsty, dead yet alive animalistic piercing eyes, that wants to kill you, with sharp teeth and claws and can rip you to shreds in seconds, with virtually no chance of survival if it gets you, and simply a door stopping it, all at the mercy of your reaction time and ability to track it's position. Something that could scare someone to death upon just seeing it in the dark in real life. To me, the characters in this game are somewhat overboard most of the time, but nightmare fredbear still holds to me as the scariest design in the franchise, even more so than nightmare.

[@iamjayrts25]

Quick note: it’s actually a bite of 83. Yes, it’s random, but it’s confirmed as in the secret room of Sister Location, the code “1983” opens cameras for the Fnaf 4 house, and Scott has said that with his new games, he tries to solve the mysteries of the previous one, confirming that it’s 1983

honestly going off of the dream theory ( i actually have no idea how much things have changed since fnaf 4 release ) the breathing makes sense in context, you see the bully brother popping out of hiding places often, the kid in his dream looking out for dreaming is like he's looking out for the brother's breathing as he's hiding to scare him

For me, this is wholeheartedly the scariest game in the franchise. I discovered FNAF not long after the fourth game came out, and spent a few months binging all of Markiplier's lets plays of it. The first 3 games had little effect on me aside from a spook here and a spook there, but four always stuck. Maybe it's because my bedroom at the time also had blue carpet and two doors but for around a week after this game I was unable to sleep, a constant nagging fear at the back of my mind that even though it clearly wasn't real... something had to be watching me. Something was just out of sight approaching, determined to rip me to shreds. The Classics were alright. The Toys could get uncanny. The Withereds were badass. The Phantoms were lame. but the Nightmares... the Nightmares gave *me* nightmares. They'll always be my favorites.

[@AnonDudeBro]

I sort-of agree, but only because I just think Springtrap is the main character of this series (especially the first “era” of FNAF from 1-5) when it comes down to it. That doesn’t mean that Freddy isn’t a main character though. Freddy has had the most versions of himself in each game with different gameplay from the others, and the fact that Golden Freddy (other than Springtrap and arguably the puppet) is the most important FNAF character of all time. FNAF 1 Freddy was the most dangerous and scary character on later nights with his door gameplay. He was also characterized as a major, intelligent threat unlike the other animatronics. He hid in the darkness and didn’t have a chance of making it to your door until night 4, reaffirming him as somewhat of the “boss” of the other Fnaf 1 animatronics. In FNAF 2, Toy Freddy and Withered Freddy are the only two animatronics that creep up to the door and come in randomly. So In that regard- Freddy’s have their own special gameplay mechanic from the rest of the band trio. Golden Freddy also can come from almost anywhere. I’d say that point of FNAF 2 was to introduce the puppet as the biggest major character (it’s one of the 3 major animatronics of the series pulling the strings, and it is officially the protector of the animatronics). Freddy just wasn’t meant to shine here like FNAF 1, but they still made space for him to be different and taken seriously. FNAF 3 is one of the two games I’d say where this is the case, but Springtrap/William Afton is the protagonist of the series. I also think it means something that this is one of the most infamous fnaf games since people was really upset about the other animatronics just being un-creative and lazy. FNAF 4 is the other game where Freddy isn’t the focus, but Funtime Freddy stood out from the rest on multiple occasions. This story was about Elizabeth’s death/possession of Circus baby, and Michael Afton. After Circus Baby got kicked out of Enard by the others- Funtime Freddy became the new leader of the animatronic group. He was also revealed in the books to also have a child inside of his stomach cavity. Skip all the way to Fnaf Security Breach, Freddy and Gregory are the main characters. Freddy is the leader of the band and was given such a unique role, spotlight, and sentience compared to the other animatronics.

We finally found the keys, but...there is nothing in there and because the mystery was officially abandoned, we won't ever know if there ever was anything there. Some things are better left forgotten. When it comes to the bite, I will forever stay with the idea that this is a seperate bite and the bite of meme legend occured on Jeremy's dayshift in the events of Fnaf2, which is why he was replaced by another person who was fired the next day.

Honestly this game is tied for my favorite fnaf game, alongside the original. I didnt even know people thought the nightmare animatronics didnt look scary, they terrify me, at least in the creepy atmosphere and ambience of the game.

[@owtkvst]

This is my favorite as well for all of the same reasons. The use of sound in this game is genius, making U listen CLOSELY to avoid being jumpscared is horrifying. The lore of this one also makes it awesome. And you don’t like Fredbear’s design? It’s actually my favorite in the game

The animatronics are hallucinations which means that the breathing is too.

Which they didn’t actually understand that the FNaF 4 minigames were still in 1983, and actually before possibly the MCI, but definitely before the later events of FNaF 2 in 1987 and especially the Bite of 87), being scary (even though it’s survival horror), or even them wanting to dismissed it as “not scary”.
