Was FNAF1 EVER SOLVED?

[@grey_b7319]

Scott really teased FNAF 4 by having the four animatronics saying "was it me?", teased a bite would be involved, actually had a kid's head bit during the game by an animatronic associated with 1987... just to have that not be the Bite of '87 that decision still baffles me to this day

The Victim *dies* in 4 (if the flatlining wasnt clue enough), yet the Victim mentioned in 1 survived. Maybe it WAS the bite of 87 early on, but it's clear that Scott changed his mind.

This is one of the things that pisses me of the most. Scott cleary made a lot more retcons that he probably didn't even get it. FNAF 4 bite was CLEARLY made to be the bite of 87, but noooooo, let's not do that and now there is a second bite that was also on the head, also didn't kill the victim right away and was not mentioned by phone guy on FNAF 1. This will not mess with the lore, of course.

[@Ideataster]

FNAF1 being only solvable by future content that didn't exist at release, does mean there's no way for us to really "solve" it at time of release. And some part of me really believes that Scott is ignoring holes because theorists try to fill them instead. Which makes engagement, content, and theory-crafting which is the backbone of the franchise really.

[@AddCulture]

I think it's actually not that hard. What happened, in my opinion, was that the comunity discovered that everything until FNAF 4 was all a dream and it didn't left us happy. Sometimes in order to profit more on their creations, or even simply bc the creator is too narcisistical to admit defeat, the creators can go through multiple paths that can ultimately destroy their own stories. And that was exactly what happened with FNAF 4, Scott wanted to be smart and he understood that FNAF's fandom would took anything he created as a hint for a bigger story. So when he did FNAF 4 to outsmart everyone, but was quickly discovered by the comunity he panicked. In order to stay relevant or to simply to get more money from the franchise he decided on staying doing games and Sister Location born. Since then the story was retconed and became that mess. It's not that FNAF 1 to 4 were unsolvable, they were in fact solved, but Scott's ego could never accepted defeat. For me this would explain why since SB the franchise's horror aspect seemed to drop in quality, the bigest example of that drop was the fact we started to introduce and name characters. Till now the only people named were the night guards. Purple guy and phone guy were just that, a guy that hides in the shadows and therefore is purple and a guy who speaks with you through the phone. This lack of specificity made the story really tragic and scaring because it was something that could happen with any poor innocent child, and unfortunately was what happened with those 5 inocent souls. I mean, you're not technically wrong since Scott retconed the whole story just to make the whole Afton's plot fit. So technically speaking you're right to think it's kinda stupid try to solve fnaf (Specially fnaf 1 back then) if it was impossible due to the lack of clues, but I think FNAF 1 was solveable and was solved, but it's technically retconed due to all the Afton shenanigans.

[@higueraft571]

>FNAF1 being only solvable by future content that didn't exist at release, does mean there's no way for us to really "solve" it at time of release. It's perfectly solvable, it's just more of something to enable the gameplay rather than being part of a Greater Storyline. There was killer who lured 5 kids into a backroom while the place was open, and stuffed them in the Suits. The children went on to possess the suits, but their bodies were never found by authorities. They're now Haunted as Hell and Hostile.

@@AddCulture >So when he did FNAF 4 to outsmart everyone, but was quickly discovered by the comunity he panicked. More likely, he wanted to "wrap up the story". Tying everything to FNAF 4 as a Dream would solve all the strange loose bits as "weird dream shit" and such. It's more the fact that: People hated the IDEA of this being another "just a dream" where nothing happened/mattered. Scott realized this was a godawful place to end the series on, and tried to backpedal, which made FNAF 4 a whole lot messier in a sense. >It's not that FNAF 1 to 4 were unsolvable, they were in fact solved, but Scott's ego could never accepted defeat. More accurately: 1 was meant to stand alone, but people wanted More, so he made 2 and 3. 3 was a disappointment with how lame the main antagonist's attack was (and Scott DID leave a loose thread incase he ever wanted to continue it), so he was pressured to make 4, a PROPER Spooky Sendoff. Except that botched the Story aspect that people were into, so he was pressed to divert off that track (and this was likely where he decided "fuck it, no more endings, this makes too much of a mess") The next game proceeds to introduce a character that is NOT CC, and is most DEFINITELY real and not a dream, and said character is linked to the previous games as the Protagonist. etc etc >this would explain why since SB the franchise's horror aspect seemed to drop in quality In terms of JUST SB, sure definitely. Although i'd argue this is less by Design, and more a combination of: - Scott did not communicate enough - Steel Wool had to cut the latter 2/3rds of the story/buildup out. Surprisingly, cutting a story DRASTICALLY short hurts it. Take, for example: Star Wars, but skip most of Luke's journey, and just have him Throw Down with Palpatine in A New Hope and win. Just ends there, *no* Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi. >This lack of specificity made the story really tragic and scaring because it was something that could happen with any poor innocent child ...uhhh, sure? Except you specified FNAF SB, *not* 6 or SL in this case. >since Scott retconed the whole story Not a Retcon. We did not have a Motive, we did not have a Name, we didnt even have a Timeline aside from "there was an incident years ago with a Killer, and also a Bite of 87, and there's also now" As far as 3 goes, there's STILL not a Retcon, infact it was likely made with potential extension of said story in mind "Why would the Serial Killer be disassembling the Robots in FNAF 1's location?" >due to the lack of clues It told us everything it needed though??? >but it's technically retconed due to all the Afton shenanigans. Literally not at all true though. FNAF 1 is STILL more or less solved. Again, no Retcon.

[@narwhalz968]

Until the week before i just assumed that with how long he’d been working with fazbear entertainment he had some kind of management status and was more afraid of what fazbear entertainment would do to him than what the animatronics would For example, in fnaf 6 if you find the blueprints they send you to a mental hospital after claiming you’re insane. And it wouldn’t be far fetched to assume if they found out he was telling people the animatronics had corpses in them they would throw every legal case at him possible. If the animatronics catch him he’s just dead, not living a completely destroyed life

[@paydaygh9388]

Copy pasting this from another comment section: I solved the retcon. It’s Golden Freddy as the MCI disguise. The FNAF 1 newspaper says someone dressed as a character to lure 5 kids. FNAF2 clearly states “a yellow suit” and GF is slumped. The twist of FNAF 3 is Golden Bonnie MCI. That’s why the retcon was posted about before FNAF 6 and why it was seemless, because it was FNAF 3’s twist. Before that everyone believed GF was the MCI disguise, such as GT in their “phone guy is purple guy” video. My biggest piece of evidence is that Golden Bonnie DIDN’T EXIST before Silver Eyes was being written around the development of FNAF 2 or 3. FNAF 1 was also the very last game Scott was supposed to ever make, so why would he plan a twist in the third game? Someone disguised as a character, either using a costume or Golden Freddy, did the MCI according to FNAF 1. The implication in FNAF 1, and ESPECIALLY in FNAF 2 is that GF is the disguise.

[@antisemantics3232]

Incredibly likely. I wholeheartedly believe this is the case

[@livingtarnation8807]

this wouldn't be a retcon under Scotts definition

[@higueraft571]

This kind of falls apart when this, again, is "Retroactive Storytelling". The DCI doesnt fit the bill of the MCI as we see it in 2, and considering 2 and 3 were likely conceived in a single batch, it's even more obvious Fredbear was never meant to be the Killer's (First) Suit. If Phone Guy HAD stated it was a "Yellow Bear" however...

[@bigmanchonk]

Also in The Silver Eyes, William uses the Golden freddy suit to lure one of the kids in the MCI. It's mentioned once in the book, and never again for the rest of the franchise; “The one I saw the night Michael disappeared, the bear, I’m pretty sure he was yellow, too.”

[@paydaygh9388]

@@higueraft571 I’m more so implying that FNAF 1 gently implies it, and FNAF 2 heavily implies it for 1 of 2 reasons: 1: Scott had in mind that GF was the disguise until he wrote FNAF 3 and the Silver Eyes, and retconned it then, or… 2: He thought of the idea of Spring/Golden Bonnie BEFORE FNAF 2, which allowed him to set it up as “a yellow one,” without specifying what it was. This allowed the twist of FNAF 3 to be more impactful, as it was secretly set up in 2. Either way though, there had to be a disguise used by “the unnamed killer” in FNAF 1, and the concept for spring lock suits and Golden Bonnie did not exist yet. The disguise the killer used according to FNAF 1 was simply “a cartoon mascot” For all I know, the disguise for the MCI in FNAF 1 was the Mimic’s lion costume, or a paper pal, or Golden Freddy, or one of the empty costumes in the back (suck as the spare Freddy on the game over screen). BUT. IT. CAN’T. BE. GOLDEN. BONNIE. It was Scott’s last game. Ever. No sequels, no storyline, just one game with one mysterious backstory solved by 4 newspapers and background details. IMO, the retcon HAS to be in FNAF 1, or it has to be “Save HIM,” which many don’t believe. ID’s Fantasy has a short on it.

FNAF 1 thru 3 was when it was good. It was only after 4's release that the fandom became truly divided on the lore.

[@morgann2938]

YES! I completely agree that Afton’s conviction was the “one” retcon. Having the serial killer be convicted made sense for the story and atmosphere of FNAF 1. It was a tragedy that got “resolved,” that the world was able to move on from but the souls of the victims couldn’t. So the killer was arrested and out of the picture before the story even began. However, the killer suffering the same fate as his victims because of his own hubris so that his corpse could later be used as a set piece in an attraction designed to make light of his crimes? Infinitely cooler. As a writer, Scott would have been morally obligated knowingly contradict his earlier work in this instance.

[@kai6333]

He could have maybe set someone up to take the fall? Idk lol

[@psychophate]

It could have been Henry that took the fall. There is a large gap in time between the time when Freddy's was open and FNAF 6 where Henry isn't present that could mean that he was William's scapegoat and was imprisoned for however long until he was released or escaped to plan the events of FNAF 6.

[@mannythemaniac1009]

@@psychophate I think it's so funny, an old Henry having his own Shawshank Redemption arc just to appear for PS

[@porcelainchips6061]

I think Henry, himself, is the retcon; I think there was no Henry until Scott started to realize that Mike is a willing protagonist, but not a very active one. Mike will show up to "face off" against all the supernatural death ghosts, but he is never going to "set up" a scenario; he isn't the type that would create Fazbear Frights, he would never build FFPS... So there needs to be a secondary "good guy" that eventually materializes to finally end it all. And that person needs to have a connection to the crimes that have happened; which is why Henry's daughter is the puppet; the one that sticks out from the others --- the one phone guy tells you is "different" as early as it's appearance in FNAF2. I think phone guy's mention of the "original diner's owner" was referring to Afton. Meaning Afton was suppose to be locked up or otherwise "on the run" until FNAF3 gave him a staring role. Part of what makes me think this is also the puppet switch-out; originally it was "save him" ending with a puppet jumpscare... And the Crying Child sharing many "motifs" with the puppet's design. When FNAF4 first came out a lot of people suspected this was the origins of the puppet, because it was a small building and he was always crying (and there's no nightmare puppet, originally). The reveal that it was The Bite actually caught many by surprise at the time. It then created the question of "who is the puppet then?" to many; if it wasn't this obvious crying child in a striped shirt, then who / what ? I think FNAF4 was an attempt to create a "closed loop" to the story; make it about this family and retroactively explain/show that this is the golden freddy who got his happiest day. FNAF4 was the originals story of both Mike and Dave Afton; FNAF3 showed us what happened eventually to everything, the ending of everything (spiritually and physically) but FNAF4 is showing the start of it all; leaving FNAF2 and FNAF1 the "meat" of the sandwich.

The problem with Golden Freddy being the bite of ‘87 animatronic is simply that the 1987 jumpscare was added into the game later down the line. It wasn’t in the original version that launched. People just started a ton of rumors that there’d be a hidden ending if you set the custom night to 1987, Scott patched in the Golden Freddy jumpscare with a hard reset required as a means of discouraging players from digging into that custom night setting.

It seems you're looking at this almost entirely from HW's PoV and *not* the game it's showing (with assets from that game in the background). In FNAF 1, there are only TWO instances this could be referring to: - Phone Guy's Death (As you mentioned, seemingly no major incident over that, as FazEnt implies that he certainly *isnt* the first dead Nightguard, even in 1 alone) - The MCI: "While video surveliance identified the man responsible and led to his capture the following morning, the children themselves were never found and are presumed dead." "While the suspect has been charged, the bodies were never found." The former has little ground, as you mentioned, HOWEVER... The latter is one of the only mentions of a court case prior to FNAF 6's "Legal Woes", of a VERY major event in the series' timeline. If this is the Retcon, this changes it from: "William Afton committed the MCI, and was convicted soon after." to "William Afton committed the MCI, was arrested/suspected, but they couldnt definitively stick him with the charges, and he escaped." The latter is generally what would NEED to happen for Sister Location and FNAF 2 to occur, presumably. (And explain why William Afton would be using fake names after this point. Such as in the Novels, in the Movie, and presumably in FNAF 2 as well...)

Where did the corpses go? It's obvious the robots themselves didn't remove them so who did? Fazbear entertainment? Probably our best guess but still you'd think we'd hear about that somewhere within the company. Like a fazbear technician salvaging the withers would find evidence of a corpse, blood, hair, even bits of bone from the robots moving and crushing the limbs. This all of course is if we believe the child go missing before fnaf 1's location is built and the robots are rebuilt after the Toys are scrapped. I guess I always liked the idea of the robots smelling like death. Kind of immerses me in fnaf 2. God knows how bad those suits must smell.

The problem with that is the withered animatronics AREN’T the Fnaf 1 animatronics. FNAF 2 is BEFORE FNAF 1 and while fnaf1 animatronics are implied to be BASED on the original design (before the toys) which would eventually become the withered… we’ve never actually seen the actual un-withered pre-toy OG animatronics. Based on the information we have, the withered are already long gone by the time of FNAF 1, also insinuating that the MCI happens AFTER Fnaf 2… Ultimately, it’s the result of a game being made with some VAGUE idea of a story behind it, and then that story having to be vastly expanded upon when the game is surprisingly, a hit.

The retcon being the conviction is... Shaky at best? Because a conviction sadly doesn't actually tell us the truth of anything. We haven't seen the trial nor will we ever, and we don't know who the defendant actually was. A conviction can be wrong, and is far more than we would like. All that newspaper clipping says is that 5 kids went missing and were never found, someone was arrested and thrown in jail for it. It doesn't say it was William Afton, it doesn't say it was Henry Emily. It doesn't say anything. Just a vague someone. And I think that fits for Fazbear Entertainment. If they can't find the culprit (or worse, they know who it is and they're too important for the company), then SOMEONE has to take the fall for it and they will do everything in their power to pin it on them. Notably, the bodies were never found. You would think that the police would do EVERYTHING in their power to get that information out of someone. And if it was actually the killer, I think they could have cracked them. But since it wasn't, they would get nowhere because their supposed murderer doesn't know.

I did, in fact, and I am as sure now that he was guilty as I was then. There were no bodies, Clay Burke said. We knew it was him; there was no doubt in my mind. But the children had disappeared, they were never found, and without their bodies... He stopped talking, staring off into the middle distance as if scarcely aware that they were there. He hung up, not waiting for her to finish. Clay stared moodily, restlessly at the wall for a long moment, then he grabbed his coffee cup, and headed to the basement. He didn’t have to search for the box of evidence from the Freddy’s disappearances; he had been here before. There was no one around, and so instead of taking it upstairs to his office, Clay sat down on the concrete floor, spreading papers and photographs around him. There were interviews, witness statements; reports from the on-scene officers, Clay included. He sifted through them aimlessly; he didn’t know what he was looking for. There was nothing new here. There was nothing to find, really. They knew who did it. At first he had suspected Henry, just like so many others around town. It was a terrible thought, but it was a terrible crime; there was no solution that would not be shocking. He had not been the one to question Charlie’s father, but he had read the transcript. The man had been almost incoherent, so shaken that he could not give straight answers. He sounded as if he were lying, and to most people, that was proof enough. But Clay had resisted, delayed having him arrested, and sure enough, they came to William Afton, Henry’s partner. Afton seemed like the normal one in the venture, the businessman. Henry was the artist; he always seemed to be off in another world, some part of his mind thinking about his mechanical creatures even when he was holding a conversation about the weather, or the kids’ soccer games. There was something off about Henry, something almost shell-shocked; it seemed like a miracle that he could have produced a child as apparently normal as Charlie. Clay remembered when Henry had moved to town and begun construction of the new restaurant. Someone had told him that Henry had a kid who was abducted several years prior, but didn’t know much else. He seemed like a nice enough guy, though he was obviously terribly alone, his grief visible even at a distance. Then Freddy Fazbear’s opened, and the town came alive. That was also when Charlie appeared; Clay hadn’t known Henry even had a daughter until that day. William Afton was the one who made Freddy’s a business, as he had the previous restaurant. Afton was as robust and lively as Henry was withdrawn and shadowy. He was a hefty man, and had the ruddy geniality of a financially shrewd Santa Claus. And he had killed the children. Clay knew it; the whole department knew it. He had been present for each abduction. He had mysteriously and briefly vanished at the same time as each child went missing. A search of his house had found a room crammed with boxes of mechanical parts and a musty yellow rabbit suit, and stacks of journals full of raving paranoia, passages about Henry that ranged from wild jealousy to near-worship. But there had been no evidence, there had been no bodies, and so there could be no charge. William Afton had left town, and there was nothing to stop him. They did not even know where he had gone." this is NOT a retcon the retcon could be that on the article, they refer the man not as a employee or the founder of the company as if its a random person with no name, but when silver eyes came out this person was a employee + the business partnerr of the owner

It doesn't matter if the bodies weren't found. Being caught luring kids away on camera and them proceeding to go missing is still more than enough to give someone jail time for first degree kidnapping. If the dead bodies were found, it would only make his punishment more severe. And yes, the Silver Eyes trilogy is an entirely alternate universe. Just because something is true there doesn't mean that it's true here (perfect examples being how Afton gets springlocked and the identities of the souls possessing the animatronics). Certain things will spill over for sure, but that doesn't mean that everything has to be default.

[@kazimpala]

I think that the Fnaf1 and the fnaf2 location being the same place is the retcon. It changes nothing about the story, so it's easily missed, but we dont get any information about it until TWB. Phone says in FNAF2 he'll take the night shift when the place opens back up. TWB introduces vents into the FNAF1 location that were not a game mechanic until FNAF2. TWB states that the doors in the FNAF1 location were recently added. TWB also mentions boarded off sections of the restaurant (which is probable giving the location in FNAF2 was larger than the FNAF1 location). The Follow Me minigames in FNAF3 also show a boarded up section before afton dismantles the animatronics. It also makes the DCI/MCI argument moot since it's the same location. FNAF2 is also mentioned as being new and improved, not a brand new restaurant all together. Also, what better place to hide bodies than in suits that have been pulled apart for all the parts needed? It could also explain why we see the shadow animatronics for the first time in FNAF2. I just think it's such a minute detail that really changes nothing about the story and it hasnt really been mentioned anywhere else until TWB.

[@damkylan3]

If we got no info about it until TWB, then it's automatically not the retcon. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said that we didn't notice it. We'd have no way of noticing it because it was never even hinted in the OG games. And even then, none of that implies they're the same location. Like, the boarded up stuff just sounds like a connection to Follow Me, which explicitly has the FNAF1 layout, which is completely different from the FNAF2 layout.

[@WatchThisSpace415]

11:45 At least is an exaggeration. You see the issue with claiming something introduced recently was intended originally or not is that we don't what Scott had wrote for the lore at any given point. We have what he tells us and shows us in the games but that won't cover everything. There may be no conceivable way for the detail to appear in the story, or elaborating on a certain mechanic just ends up eating time from the story and gameplay. I always circle back to that one confirmation Scott made after the FNAF 4 halloween update came out. "Nightmare BB fits into the story and can be considered canon." In fact despite remnant only being formally defined in Frights, its first referenced in the SCUPE blueprint in FNAF 6 released only 3 years after FNAF 1, which is a blueprint of a device we see in SIster Location, released only 2 years after FNAF 1. Given Scott's inherent tendencies to Sci-Fi, that extend well beyond this franchise, its hardly inconceivable that he was playing around with an explanation of possession, in the same way he was thinking about how animatronic code can influence a spirit's behaviour, something else that gets elaborated on in Sister Location specifically. My take on your retcon argument is Suspect Convicted newspaper doesn't work because it was both a common talking point in the fandom before 2017 including in that infamous game theory livestream which Scott and the only integration of the retcon we get is a line in The SIlver Eyes (an explicitly different continuity) and the purple guy still being active after the incident. That's hardly seamless even if people didn't notice it.

[@higueraft571]

>its hardly inconceivable that he was playing around with an explanation of possession Honestly, it's pretty likely he more or less just took the general real-world concept (Emotions and Memories make up the soul, they can Possess/be absorbed into things when someone dies, especially if it's Traumatic), and slapped a Label on it/adding an extra rule or two. I wouldnt be shocked if the idea came from the Haunted Car one, in which a Vehicle someone dies in during a Crash mysterious turns itself on/drives around with nobody inside, a Spirit infused into the Metal...

Just a thought, but maybe the security guards we play as are just those people. What is Mike was blamed & convicted of the killings? Especially after everyone knew he threw his little brother into the mouth of Fred Bear. Not sure how that lines up with the timeline though. Edit: I just looked up the penalty for a minor in 1985/1986 convicted of murder. They were not given the death penalty nor life in prison. They would stay in a detention center until the court's chose to release them. It's possible with the murders continuing after Mike was incarcerated, the courts might have let him go. This would also add to the reason Mike is looking for his father and trying to set things right.

[@higueraft571]

>with the murders continuing after Mike was incarcerated There was only one murder, which could be classified as an Accident/unintentional killing. It's partially on Michael and his friends shoving CC in Fredbear's mouth, but it's also VERY much on the owners of Fredbear's for making such a hazardous Machine, especially with no Warnings around.

[@torrigarnet]

@@higueraft571 I miss-spoke a little. I didn't mean killed ( but we all knew what was going on), but kidnappings and missing persons were still happening. I only bring up the Fred Bear incident because Hurricane is a small town. Everyone knows everyone. Rumors and false allegations by the town folk will spread. Even if it was an accident the people would look at the Afton's as insane and possibly murderers. So if it keeps happening the whole family will look guilty. William, the sociopath that he is, could have manipulated Mike into claiming he killed those kids to save his own skin. Possibly could have used the Nightmare gas to make Mike hallucinate or dream that he actually committed the murders. Just a thought though. I have no actual evidence for it.

I truly believe fnaf1 is a near perfect game. Its not the most complicated. It has many flaws. But its a masterclass in getting all it could out of its limited scope. It has the perfect mix of humor, maybe a little bit of unintentional camp, and scares, with a tempting dripfeeding of lore and stuff to catch you off guard like foxy moving on camera and golden freddy. I often laugh and scream simultaneously while playing it or watching playthroughs.

[@evelynsheldon5662]

Henry is not a good enough explanation to the suspect being “convicted”, because in FNAF 2 and 3, well before Henry existed in the game, we see William being not in jail. Either that is the retcon, which it totally could be, or there’s an alternate explanation besides Henry (no Scott wasn’t thinking of Henry before Silver Eyes, and yes FNAF 3 represents a mostly clean bookend for the story so an explanation would exist at that point).

[@FusionCyborg]

3:40 Foxy actually always has his eyes glowing like that throughout the entire game. 12:53 Actually FNaF 1 does associate IT'S ME with Golden Freddy. When you encounter Golden Freddy during the Nightshift, IT'S ME hallucinations will always occur the moment you close the Camera Tablet after seeing the Golden Freddy Poster in Camera 2B - West Hall Corner. Also something I'd like to point out is about the year of which FNaF 1 takes place in. When the game first released, MatPat connected the game to be somewhere from April 1990 - 1996 due to U.S. federal minimum wage, as in it was the closest pay to the actual pay in the game (And then he assumed 1993 due to his theory making a connection to a real-life incident that occurred in 1993.). One major problem with this is that the pay in the actual game is $4 per hour, while minimum wage was $4.25 per hour in that timeframe, which makes the 1990s illogical, but most people disregarded this, probably due to profit-at-all-cost practices that FazBear Ent. was implied to take later in the series, but logically with the evidence the first game alone provided, FNaF 1 could only take place in either 1987, 1988, or 1989, with 1989 being the most likely answer as it would fit the "many years ago" description given to the MCI in the newspapers best. And in The Week Before, a lot of pop culture references are made, and they supposedly all date to 1989 at the latest.

[@LightifyMC]

[@ender01o66]

@@LightifyMC FNaF World Mobile's clock ending has the one who caused the Bite to happen to talk to us, and specifically says they caused it to happen, not that they were the one to do the Bite. The Week Before also states that something other than Foxy provoked the Bite, but couldn't get any information besides that out of the victim. The usage of "It's Me" further implies a form of ShatterVictim, with this including Foxy. And, since "It's Me" is heavily associated with the Yellow Bear, who is associated with the Crying Child... and the FNaF 1 1987 Easter egg... it's highly likely that he caused this Bite, likely in retaliation of his own 1983 Bite incident, with FNaF 4's teasers even linking the two bites; Cause and effect. And, since the Crying Child created the Flipside, where FNaF World takes place, it's highly likely that he's the speaker who said they caused the Bite. They even cause Freddy to bite Ralph's frontal lobe in a TWB ending.

Isn't the retcon super mega definitely Dream Theory? There was a big live stream back around FNAF 4's time with a ton of FNAF Theorists all together to discuss FNAF stuff, and Scott showed up and started dropping hints for them to dissect and theorize about... And all of those hints VERY HEAVILY pointed to Dream Theory, which was something FNAF 4 itself also pointed to several times. Scott also said (granted it's been a long time since I read about this so I may not get his wording exactly right) that he made Sister Location specifically because people weren't satisfied with FNAF 4's lore, and Sister Location contains a rather awkward and ham fisted appearance of the FNAF 4 bedroom on the cameras. Everything about Dream Theory highly suggests it was the retcon. The only issue is that it's kinda shaky with how Scott describes the retcon. Many people noticed Dream Theory, although I'm not sure how many people noticed it being retconned, so he could be referring to that, and I would argue that Dream Theory was not retconned seamlessly at all (granted I haven't read the books so maybe they go more into detail on FNAF 4 there), but Dream Theory being retconned isn't really talked about all that much, so maybe it was seamless just in that nobody noticed it? I dunno, but the only possible explanation I can come up with for Scott's hints in that live stream is Dream Theory. I can't think of any other interpretation for that live stream, but since Dream Theory clearly isn't canon now, it must've been retconned, or he was trolling the theorists but like why would he do that? I don't think it was a troll, so he was genuinely hinting at Dream Theory being the canon answer, but it's not the canon answer now, and he made Sister Location specifically because people didn't like the FNAF 4 lore... it all SUPER sounds like Dream Theory was retconned, and I can't think of a retcon that could be more major than everything being fake to the point that he would point to it as THE retcon over something as major as Dream Theory.

[@damkylan3]

No. Dream Theory was never true. His hints do not lead to it at all. Game Theory just erroneously assumed things like "oh, this toy Chica is missing her beak like the real one... DREAM", and everyone else followed suit. Before SL even came out, FNAF World tied CC's fate to Happiest Day (which 4 already did, but people ignored that because of DT), meaning it was real and happened, and wasn't a dream. Nevermind how Dream Theory never had a single explanation for the final scene of FNAF4 and what "put you back together" meant. Especially if it's true (according to MatPat) that Scott sent MatPat another hint at the time regarding the identity of the security guards, which has nothing to do with Dream Theory, but most likely has to do with the fact that Michael was always the one having the nightmares since FNAF4's release, not CC. The notion that Scott backed down from his original story because people didn't like it has always been a myth that fans created for themselves.

[@accomplishedshipyard]

@@damkylan3 Scott's hints on that live stream were "In the FNaF4 minigame, why would the tiny toy chica be missing her beak?", "What is seen in shadows is easily misunderstood in the mind of a child.", and "Four games. One story." I can't figure out what these could be pointing to other than Dream Theory, but if you have an explanation for all three of those, I would genuinely love to hear it. Looking into it more, I can't find direct confirmation that Sister Location specifically happened because people didn't like the FNAF 4 lore, but there were steam posts from Scott insisting that FNAF 5 would NOT happen, and then in an interview with Dawko, he directly talks about how people weren't happy with FNAF 4's lore, after talking about how FNAF 3 had some stuff left that people weren't satisfied with, (seemingly implying that's what led to FNAF 4's creation, which makes sense, as he ALSO said that FNAF 3 would be the last game back when that one released), which together does seem to imply that Sister Location happened because people weren't happy with Dream Theory being true. I can't think of any other interpretation of the lore at the time that people would've been unhappy with, and Scott simply calling it "FNAF 4's lore" and not "a popular theory/interpretation" or something seems to imply that whatever it was was canon, or at the very least, his fault for leading people to assume it.

In my mind, it makes it likely that the word "convicted" was just a mistake Personally I think that the retcon was Mike and Crying Child originally not being Purple Guy's children.

[@JohnDoe-jh9cf]

Something I think that is entirely forgotten is that typing 1987 in the custom night didn't give you a Golden Freddy jumpscare originally, that was a featured added pretty quickly after the theories really started flowing in after people started spreading rumors that typing in 1987 would give you a secret cutscene revealing the bite, at least very rarely. Scott's way of curtailing this was to simply have it trigger an event that would crash the game: the Golden Freddy jumpscare.

Mangle being Funtime Foxy... i dont see too much evidence for this, aside from the similar color schemes. Golden Freddy being used by the MCI Killer initially IS possible, but it was *never* stated to be the case. However what's very likely is that GFreddy *was* used for the DCI, a separate killing 2 years later (As Spring Bonnie is still within the FNAF 1/MCI Location's Saferoom at this time).

Wait, what if William Afton returned to dismantle the FNAF 1 animatronics for the "Follow me" mini game as revenge for the spirits almost blowing his cover and getting him arrested/jailed

10:48 … why haven’t I heard this before? What does this mean? For awhile we thought that ‘87 got retconned into ‘83, now we know both exist So like, was this a confirmation that the Golden Freddy bite happened in ‘83 NOT ‘87 since it says “incorrect”? Like, is this a retcon? It feels like a retcon But it doesn’t feel like THE retcon because like, even if nobody talked about it, this is a pretty big and obvious retcon. Like, THE retcon is implied to have not been found and seemlessly wove into the story Or maybe it is the retcon but it seemelessly wove into the retcon because nobody has been talking about it? Like, THE retcon is that now there are TWO “Bite of ‘80-whatever” instead of one “Bo’87”

am i the only one that noticed the boss music from sly cooper in the background?

[@oparysh]

DIdn't Scott mean that there was only one bite in 1983 by the retcon? I haven't read "The week before" so I might be mistaken, but for now it makes sense for me.

I've actually spent the week mentally plotting a personal narrative for the lore for the purple guy saga and fitting in the 1st and in relation the second game is auper annoying. While i believe the idea of Micheal Afton using aliases to take these night guard positions in an attempt to find his father and right his wrongs, the time gap would mean that he kept rotting away in the couple years between the 2 games as well the third game. The issue of both the classic and toy animateonics being possessed also brings up questions of how many dead kids are there although ive chucked that part to the old bots being used to make the toy bots caused the remnants to affect them and the splitting of souls have reduced them to acting "like animals" as baby has said. But the most annoying of all, with fnaf 4's ending being the bite of 83, wtf was the bite of 87 then?! Edit: oh yeah, then there's the conviction. While I like the idea Henry got wrongly convicted and that being the reason Charlie gets left outside to die, problem is Henry obviously got let go and it also muddies up who made what animatronics since it's my belief he made the fnaf 1 animatrics, used their parts for the toy animatronics and then (possibly b/c of the bite of 87) dismantles the toys, repairs the classics only to not activate them but let them roam at night? It's 1 big headache that i we're constantly told not to think about that hard

"he kept rotting away" I'm going to assume this is in reference to him being scooped. Mike wasn't rotting at all in the first two games. SL is after 1. Mike either took aliases to hide his affiliation with the Afton name (because William was on the outs with the company after the MCI), or he is there on his father's orders to tamper with the animatronics and try and collect remnant or something else nefarious. He was portrayed as William's puppet in FNAF6 for a reason, after all, and I don't think it was only because of the events of SL. Though it's possible. "How many dead kids" During the first two games? 11. Five MCI, five DCI, and Charlie. Nowadays, we could probably include Andrew. "what was the bite of 87" Jeremy Fitzgerald getting chomped by one of the Toys. Most likely, anyway. "the reason Charlie gets left outside" She died before the MCI. If Henry was convicted, it would have been much later. I don't think anything suggests Henry got let go, although he probably took a less active role after Charlie. FazEnt and their technicians could have made all those decisions regarding the Toys and such. Henry claims he let "the wound bleed out and cause all this", implying that he could have stopped a lot of what happened, but failed to for one reason or another. So he could have still been around, but in a distant capacity, letting the assholes beneath him run things and make everything worse.

@damkylan3 you know, in re checking game details and lore,, i forgot a second night guard takes over in fnaf 2 for custom night and THAT ine is micheal snooping around. Also there seems to be alot of debate over 11 dead kids vs 5. (One dci vs 2) i personally think either there was only 1 MCI and the remnant of those kids kept getting shifted between animatronics. If there was a second MCI it would be whatever's possesing the SL funtimes.
