Five Nights at Freddy's. The indie horror game where animatronics from a pizzaria try to murder you - Games

Watching a few, it seems gameplay just kinda dials down to 'wind the box, put on the mask' eventually

How do we know Night 6 is canon? We still don't even know if Night 6 in FNAF 1 was canon. On a different note, Why does Mangle make distorted radio noises whenever she\it's near?

[QUOTE=Man in Space;46465145]xxProClassGamerxx uploaded a complete Night 5 a few minutes ago. [video=youtube;OKLvuPK8hs0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKLvuPK8hs0[/video] [/QUOTE] That poor child. Only wanted to be inside having fun. [QUOTE=Revolver Osha;46465160]I still think that the whole prequel thing has too many holes in it. Besides the check the only thing that supports it being a prequel is phone guy not being dead.[/QUOTE] [sp]The ending for Day 6 shows a news article stating that the pizza joint will close down and the new animatrons will be scrapped due to malfunctioning, while the old ones will be kept. The CEO states that they will re-open someday, but with a reduced budget. The overtime pay is also dated the day as the Bite of 87.[/sp]

Also, Mangle is confirmed female (I think) because there are a number of different presets for night 7 (in addition to customizing the AI levels on your own), one of which is called Ladies' Night. Only Chica, Toy Chica, and Mangle are active.

[QUOTE=IntenseBarney;46465225]How do we know Night 6 is canon? We still don't even know if Night 6 in FNAF 1 was canon.[/QUOTE] I'm going to guess that they are canon. Scott doesn't seem like he would include [sp]the phone call and newspaper clipping[/sp] it if it weren't—look at all the other stuff he's included, which seems to have relevance.

[QUOTE=Sleeping One;46464755] The 6th, after beating night 6 at 7:10 [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97f6fY0GT9U&list=UU01kI882FtuOsnpzmC9NoPQ&index=2[/url][/QUOTE] Wait, what the hell. Look at the newspaper. "New animatronics will be scrapped, however the original characters will be kept" "We are confident that we will reopen some day, even if it is with a much smaller budget" (The limited power in FNAF 1) ...are you sure that guy on Twitch was Scott? This is so confusing

[QUOTE=Man in Space;46465184][/QUOTE] But Phone guy mentions the events of the first game doesn't he? [sp]"Uh, now, I want you to forget anything you may have heard about the old location, you know. Uh, some people still have a somewhat negative impression of the company. Uh... that old restaurant was kind of left to rot for quite a while, but I want to reassure you, Fazbear entertainment is committed to family fun and above all, safety"[/sp]

Since Mangle was always surrounded by kids, she probably had a system that would caught predators attempting to lure children in the backrooms (as it happened in FNAF 1)...

I don't get it. Why would they scrap the new ones when the old ones are A) equally as malfunctioning, and B) decrepit and broken as shit?

It's a time loop caused by the dark forces of some old forgotten god that slumbers beneath the pizzeria. First game leads into the second, second game leads into the first. The only way to exit the loop is to die.

Go back and listen to Night 1 of the first game. Specifically, that [sp]the animatronics used to be allowed to wander during the day. Much like he says they're allowed to do now.[/sp]

There could always be another restaurant. PG did mention in one of the calls in #2 that they were going to contact the previous owners of another, the original restaurant, Freddy's dining or something. So there could be a prequel to #2 if #2 is a prequel, and that #1 is the most modern. I have my reserves for calling the twitch account "scottcawthon5naf2" for actually being Scott. We (or at least I) have no evidence to believe such. Also, I'm updating my cutscene list to add night 7, although the video quality is shoddy. Hopefully Dinky_Dana will upload his own, as I got my video from his stream.

I think Scott may have engaged in a bit of misdirection here. Like I said earlier, he seems to do things very deliberately when it comes to stuff like this.

"We're going to try to contact the original restaurant owner. Uh, I think the original place was "Fredbears Family Diner" or something like that. It's been gone for years though! I doubt we'll be able to track it down."[/sp]

I tried the game at a friend's. I died.

[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;46465276]I don't get it. Why would they scrap the new ones when the old ones are A) equally as malfunctioning, and B) decrepit and broken as shit?[/QUOTE] And they already tried to redesign foxy to make him more kid friendly. [sp]"They tried to remake Foxy, ya know? Uh, they thought the first one was too scary, so they redesigned him to be more kid-friendly and put him in Kid's Cove."[/sp] So why go back to the scary design?

[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;46465276]I don't get it. Why would they scrap the new ones when the old ones are A) equally as malfunctioning, and B) decrepit and broken as shit?[/QUOTE] well the old ones look broken as shit, but they did try to fix em up but the smell of em was bad and they looked rather scary to the kids (despite there be drawings from the kids of the old gang including golden freddy) so instead those was used for spare parts and left to decay.

There seems to be just as much supporting evidence for the prequel theory as there is unsupporting. Scott why.

[QUOTE=Coffee;46465278]It's a time loop caused by the dark forces of some old forgotten god that slumbers beneath the pizzeria. First game leads into the second, second game leads into the first. The only way to exit the loop is to die.[/QUOTE] That is actually what came to my mind first, that the events would be looping. But it just confuses me even more. :tinfoil: All the "Grand Reopening" stuff and the trailer indicate a sequel, but now that the game is playable people are finding a lot of hints that it would be a prequel.

it's probably intentionally confusing as shit can someone list the things we know for exact certain?

also remember what scott said about the first game: Dont trust the phone guy So I'll just assume the same thing here too as the phone guy in this game is acting rather...suspecious sometimes

[QUOTE=IntenseBarney;46465317]There seems to be just as much supporting evidence for the prequel theory as there is unsupporting. Scott why.[/QUOTE] For all we know, the person in the chat probably wasn't even Scott to begin with.

We've reached Gordon Freeman's ponytail levels of theory schisms

Interpretations from other peoples interpretations, mostly because this game scares the hell out of me :v: [sp] I like to see the games as some kind of weird recursive thing. Events in FNAF2 influence FNAF1, FNAF 1 influences 2. It's a bizarre, paranormal cycle that does not have a start, does not have an ending. It's simply being created and recreated over and over again. Forever living in the joy of creation.[/sp] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/Ouroboros-simple.svg/240px-Ouroboros-simple.svg.png[/img]

[QUOTE=Frosty_Avo;46465322]All the "Grand Reopening" stuff and the trailer indicate a sequel, but now that the game is playable people are finding a lot of hints that it would be a prequel.[/QUOTE] "Grand Reopening" might just have been a thematically-relevant way of announcing that a sequel was coming.

[QUOTE=Man in Space;46465345]"Grand Reopening" might just have been a thematically-relevant way of announcing that a sequel was coming.[/QUOTE] and it was use in the actual game in the article...

Assuming nobody has posted anything to the contrary by tomorrow, I'm going to compile all the "evidence" so far we have that points towards the second one being a sequel, and all that points towards it being a prequel.

Limbo. The whole damn story is in limbo.

Sorry for the wall of spoiler text, but here's my running theory: [sp]Five Nights 1 is the the third iteration of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. The bots were originally bought by Fazbear Ent. from the Fredbear's diner or whatever, and reworked into the original characters. At some point, (judging from the cutscenes as Freddy,) the puppet guy possesses the original bots. They start acting strangely, and the management decides to retire them and build a new restaurant with new bots. These are state of the art and allowed to wander around the pizzeria, but they too get possessed by the puppet man. The bots believe they have to "save" the kids from the adults, which is why they start staring at the adults. Eventually, it leads up to the Bite of 87', where probably the victim from that was the Day Shift guard. I believe the ones who killed the kids were also the bots, thinking that saves them. The public freaks out, the new bots are scrapped, and Fazbear Ent. reopens, again, with the old bots, who have been rebuilt. Then Five Nights 1 occurs. Keep in mind, again, that Phone Guy mentions how the animatronics "used" to wander around during the day.[/sp]

I'm looking at side-by-side photos of the office in FNAF 1 and 2, and something just doesn't make sense. The overhead light is in [I]exactly[/I] the same place in both offices, but the layout of the rooms is so different. They would have had to rip out the ventilation system entirely, unless they completely redefined the space and made hallways out of the extra square mileage (FNAF 2, the office is much larger than the FNAF 1 office, and this could explain why animatronics in the first game can jump from across the restaurant to right outside your door - the vents might still be there, only they're out in your blind spot). The dimensions and layout of the building in FNAF 2 seem wayyyy too different for it to be the same restaurant, though. I'll look closer at the maps and layouts later.
