My Thoughts on FNAF (Series)

So, as per maybe a week ago, Scott Cawthon, the creator of the FNAF series announced the fourth and possibly final instalment for one of the scariest horror games that I have watched on YouTube.

And per nobody's request, I'm making a thoughts blog!

And I'm just a 16 year old who hasn't played the games. YAY!

I want to though...

So, I mostly watched the series on Markiplier's YouTube channel. When I saw the first game, I was certainly scared when I don't normally get scared when watching videos. The game is one big almalgerithamawhatchacallit of jumpscares. And frankly, they start to get less scary the more you watch them. You know they're coming then.

The first game is just you as a security guard for a place with haunted animatronics. All the while, this weird and creepy "Phone Guy" continues to tell you about the place or whatever.

I'll just leave that there for you to listen to.

He mentions stuff about the past too. The Bite of '87 it's called. I don't know if they actually mention anything about it in the first game other than the first night's phone call, but I do believe that it's mentioned in the second game.

But we're still talking about the first game.

The animatronics are all different. When Freddy moves, he can enter your room as long as the right door is open, whether or not you have the camera up.

Foxy can run into your room in a similar fashion with the left door, running straight at it with barely any time to react.

Bonnie and Chicka are basically the same, just on opposite sides. The lights show if they're there and if you need to close the door, and you do the same for both of them.

As for more of the lore for the first game or whatever, the "Phone Guy" tells you everything. Although, as I listen through them, there's not really any "Lore" in any of the calls for the first game except for the first night and maybe the fourth. By the fifth-seventh night, we presume that he's dead.

ONTO THE SECOND GAME!!

Much like the first, it starts out in the same environment. A Freddy Fazbear's Pizza place. More animatronics, and more scares.

"Phone Guy" still talks to you over the phone, and that makes us all confused. Isn't he dead?

Ah, doesn't matter. He says stuff that relate to the first game, bla bla bla. Night 1.

The animatronics in this game are weird. Almost two of the original ones, and all with new mechanics. Flash their faces and you get to have a bit of extra time.

The Marionette and Balloon Boy are the only ones to mention though, since all the others are pretty basic. Balloon Boy will not kill you at all. Just steal your batteries and stop your flashlight from working.

The Marionette will not kill you as long as you keep the music box wound. Fail to do that, insta death.

The night goes on, "Phone Guy" continues talking. The most mentionable one is probably Night 4, where in this one, where he mentions the animatronics just stare at adults while not having a problem with kids.

Then there's the night 6 phone call too. He mentions that some guy snuck in with an extra "Yellow Suit", which if you found this Easter egg in the first game, it was this "Golden Freddy". And as another note, he mentions taking over the night shift, so that leads into the events of the first game, making this one a prequel.

Another thing to mention about the second game are the "Death Minigames", where when you die, you have a chance to play some minigames that can lead to some of the lore for the series.

Some of the stuff is really creepy too.

And now, the third game.

Not really much to be said about this game or any game in this series that people don't really know about, but I'm talking anyway.

The game mainly features one animatronic not in any of the other games. This one is "Springtrap".

This is actually the only animatronic that can kill you. All of the others are just hallucinations from a faulty ventilation system.

To be completely honest, this game seems like the easiest. The first night is just given to you, and there's no real lore for this one. You're in a new "Horror Attraction", and "Phone Guy" is actually dead. All you hear from him is sound recordings of how to wear an animatronic suit properly.

Again, no lore from that.

But there is this one part of the game that introduces the lore for the game. When you complete a night, you get a very similar sequence to when it was a "Death Minigame" in the second game.

When you complete the first night, you move around as Freddy. Walk to another room, you'll find this "Purple Freddy" that says "Follow Me". Follow him to a specific room until you can't move to it. Try to walk away, the "Purple Guy" you saw from one of the "Death Minigames" in the second game. You know, the one where he comes up in the car and kills the kid, as well as the five dead kids from the Foxy game.

It's basically the same thing for each of the nights with 1 through 4. Play as the animatronics and the same things happen to them.

On the fifth night however, you play as what looks like a dead child. Go to the room and you see the "Purple Guy" flailing around and trying to avoid you, unable to leave the room because of the four other dead children blocking the exit.

After enough flailing, he goes into the suit that very much looks like the "Springtrap" animatronic suit, and we are now witnessing that the "Purple Guy" died and became what we know as "Springtrap" in the game.

This in turn, gives you the "Bad Ending" because you did not play all of the "Hidden Minigames" that you are supposed to complete in a specific way to get the "Good Ending"

And the process is very difficult, and I will not show it. Why? Because that is mondo spoilers.

And now, that is all the current stuff for the FNAF 1-3 games.

As for the fourth game, it's coming out on Halloween this year.

We do have some insight on it though. We have maybe two pictures relating to the game that were both on https://www.scottgames.com within this past week.

Unfortunately, I am unable to find any pictures on the web about this, so I'm probably sounding unclear about all this. If you want, you can look for yourself, but you won't find the pictures once something new comes up.

What I can tell you about the pictures though, is that they feature some sort of "Eviler" Freddy or whatever. He looks sinister, and downright creepy.

And I have a small hunch of who he might be.

Keep in mind, this is just personal opinion and nothing is really true about this.

I think this "Freddy" is actually the "Phone Guy" that died in the first game. You can think about this, and it's a fairly reasonable assumption.

The "Phone Guy" becomes the guard as he says in the second game, "The Prequel", and dies in the first. It's logical that he was stuffed into one of the suits as a result of that.

It is also possible that he was an accomplice to the "Purple Guy", and is why he lead the animatronics to the room in the third game to be dismantled.

This makes even more since, because "The Prequel" and the first game both came out before the third one's timeline. He becomes the suit, but the "Purple Guy" has not yet, so he does his share as his spirit lives on in the "Purple Freddy" suit. He leaves when the going gets tough and has yet to show up again, and now he is in FNAF 4.

Of course, this is again opinion. It can be a very logical assumption, but until the game comes out, we have yet to know for sure.

And if I'm right, I will brag about it. Fair warning.

And now, I'm done making long blogs. Blog done. Goodbye.
