The idea of Cassidy using FNAF world to guide Michael also makes sense with the fact that your in-game “guide” is Fredbear
Especially as you need to access a pixelated glitched version of fredbear to make happiest day happen. Cassidy needs time to add their own voice to the text of the game
“Your Guide.” Why does this sound familiar……Oh Yup…….Security Breach, GlamRock Freddy.
@@RyeToast Bro, if the person being talked to in the yellow eyes cutscenes in fnaf world is michael, then why would he say "I will put you back together" and if it is the crying child why would he say "The pieces are in place for you". There is evidence for both and also contradictions for both scenarios
.
1:23 I love how your floof’s just staring at you, like they’re questioning who you’re even talking to.
One my own cats (Henry) also is extremely weirded out when i talk in a discord call for example. Then he just starts meowing at the top of his lungs, because that's what he does when he feels confused, scared, intrigued, in search of attention, happy, or pretty much any emotion really. That cat screams a lot.
Also the fact he's named Henry and that i'm a Fnaf fan is a coincidence- I only joined Fnaf fandom after he was born. That won't stop him from making jokes about him being the FNAF Henry tho-
Okay that was the smartest sponsorship ever 🤣
it kinda caught me off guard, its like he's being sponsored by Saul Goodman or HHM
which is not a bad thing but it's odd and funny on its own way
I think it’s about Evan’s postdeath experience, and him trying to give hints to Michael to “guide them to their happiest day” via the minigames. If correct, the clock ending is canon.
Edit: Also, the “everything that happens out there happens in here” also makes sense with this. Michael’s adventures so far lead to strange creatures appearing in Animatronica.
Also, the Drowned ending could be Michael and his siblings, after everything’s “over.”
@@RyeToast Yeah…. this game is very confusing, I beat it last week for a playthrough and it still doesn’t make sense to me.
EVAN ISN'T THE CRYING CHILD'S CANONICAL NAME, HE DOESN'T HAVE A CANONICAL NAME
I do feel like the desk scene can be read in a more symbolic way.
Henry feels responsible for afton so he "created" baby by allowing things to go so far. He less directly created her but allowed her creation. The death I'm not sure on but I don't feel like it'd be a new character because I think we'd have seen them by now.
I think Henry helped William make the funtimes, obviously not knowing about the child murder functions
@@hollowhenry04 My thoughts exactly. The book came out about a month before Fnaf World, so he almost definitely worked on the two side by side. With all the talk of complicating things so much that you can’t tell a proper story around that time, I actually wonder if the entire game takes place in the trilogy world
His suicide could link with fnaf 6, where he does technically kill himself due to guilt of allowing William to hurt
I’d guess it’s a kind of death of the author situation, he dies, but not really, just his pride, his ego, and his will
I'll bet there's at least one guy out there who exclusively tunes into this channel for wholesome cat moments
Yes fnaf world
I did love it, as I like monsters like Mangle and Wiþered Bonnie, but horror is too stressful for me. I can’t even complete Bobsled Bonanza! So a peaceful game wiþ cool monsters is my type of game.
I always thought that Desk guy was Henry from the novel trilogy because both created Baby and both were killed by a creation at their desk. Not sure what this interpretation means for the rest of the story though.
man if the books didn't exist the lore would simultaneously be much easier to understand and impossible to fit together
I agree, seeing as it was to hype up sister location it worked as a great teaser, I don't think it's lore related or anything just a teaser (besides hinting that henry does in fact exist in the games as well)
I feel like RyeToast is the only channel I would be able to find where a youtuber covering a horror theory transforms into Saul Goodman at around 11:00 and then casually switches. Love your videos man
So, I only discovered this channel a few short weeks ago, but every single time you upload I am immediately hyped. Haven't even started watching, and yet I'm already thrilled. And this week's topic... yesss. Finally some answers to questions I didn't even know I had. Thanks, RyeToast!
@@RyeToast I absolutely do! It was great fun to watch, shoutout to your lovely cat. And as per usual your logic was sound, you brought up some very interesting points, and especially the last bit regarding how FNAFW fits into it all was quite convincing. All in all, another amazing video. Thanks for all the work!
Honestly, while Game Theory mained the FNAF lore hunt/backstory/etc, I love that there are channels like this one and Fuhnaff to give ideas just as compelling if not more at times. You do good efficient work, and I love the cat!
I adore FNAF world so happy to see it being talked about here! Also, WHOOOOOO A SPONSOR!!!!
@@RyeToast the sponsor insert in the FNAF story was brilliant actually
Cassidy being the one that's helping the happiest day makes sense. Also, of all the characters that has a glitched personality, it's fredbear/Golden Freddy. It also explains why we play as an 8 bit freddy when doing the clock minigames.
OMC, in my opinion, was just a physical example of the co sequel CES of all the actions that the Fnaf characters did.
It'd be cool that Fnaf Wofld made a comeback by adding Glitchtrap as the new antagonist, and its revealed that were playing an arcade version of Fnaf world in an arcade.
*I know someone made a Fan made Fnaf world that showed the Funtimes and Glitchtrap, but I mean in Scott's perspective*
FNAF World broke the 4th wall a lot. The guy at the desk is Scott, and Baby represents Sister Location. Compared to the previous games, Sister Location was a massive undertaking. Desk guy's untimely death was probably a metaphor for how the Sister Location project overwhelmed Scott. That's just my interpretation, anyway.
I've never actually watched a full explanation and analysis of just FNAF world. Glad you're going over it again. Also, your fluffy, chunky boi is so cute!
you are the ONLY youtuber i’ve ever seen who’s been sponsored by a law firm. so iconic!!!
Lol thank you! Although I'd expect more of those soon, the company seems like they want to start doing more of these
The bad thing about FNAF World is that a year after it's release, the game's updates got cancelled. A year after FNAF World's release, an Android port was released in Google Play Store but the next day, Scott took it down, probably because he did not like the limitations in the game or fans could feel his tone in the game, it's only downloadable APK style. There was also a planned IOS port and a 3rd update, but Scott cancelled it due to fans hating the game. There was meant to be something further in FNAF World as evidenced by the Magic Rainbow ending, where Desk Man dies. Text says "to be continued..." As if Scott is giving us a cliffhanger and plans a new update to make the game bigger but it never saw the light of day.
Nice theory, I like it!
I also like the Cassidy-Arcade connection.
Reminds me of Security Breach's Princess Arcade.
@@RyeToast I have to admit my ignorance about it.
Does that fangame also possibly include a GoldenFreddy-Arcade connection?
Great job on putting all these little things together!
For me personally it looks like FNAF World is showing how someone (most likely Crying Child or Charlie or both) is working together with Michael who is doing night shifts during FNAF3 to create Happiest Day and free the souls of killed children.
The most logical conclusion is:
Charlotte is leading Crying Child in assisting his brother Mike in order to make good ending of FNAF 3 happen. They do all if that to put Golden Freddy's spirit to rest and stop the hauntings - sadly they failed in the end...
I found your channel not too long ago and watching your theories always put me in a good mood.
It's put me in an even better mood knowing you got a sponsor
I always wondered the very deep lore behind it. All I know is what MatPat said in one of his theory videos.
The drowning ending scene is labelled "Happiest Day" in the files. Though it can't be the literal Happiest Day because it doesn't work like that, implying it's someone else's. I personally think it's BV's Happiest Day, with the tall figure being the FoxyBro and the two smaller figures being BV and Elizabeth. Also, TFTPP book 2 story Help Wanted implies fnaf world was never actually a game in-universe.
Also, apparently the desk man is actually representative of Scott himself, in one of the endings in the game has you fighting Scott himself while he is complaining about the "toxic fanbase", so it isn't impossible for this to just represent Scott. I don't think this is actually him venting his frustrations, I think it's just a joke similar to the Scott boss battle. I don't think he was literally talking about how the fan base was toxic in the game, I think it was instead just a meta joke. I think the same is happening here.
For the clock ending, I don't think what the player is doing is Happiest Day. At the very end, the yellow-eyed entity says "the pieces are in place for you, all you have to do is find them". I think that what we are doing in fnaf world isn't setting up the actual minigames, rather it's setting up the hints that appear. I think that "the pieces" are the fnaf 3 Happiest Day minigame, and I do think this showing more how Happiest Day works, but not who's receiving it. Instead, I think it's showing who sets it up in fnaf 3. Notice how the plush entity tells BV that the pieces are in place for him, and in the files of fnaf world, there's a texture of the box opened saying something along the lines of "the pieces were found". Instead, what I think this is saying is that throughout all the fnaf 3 minigames leading up to Happiest Day (except for the Happiest Day minigame itself) we're playing as BV, giving the children's souls cake and allowing the actual Happiest Day minigame to manifest, where the Puppet gives Golden Freddy cake and they all are freed. And we know that in the outro the entity is talking to BV because when the yellow-eyed entity says "the pieces are in place for you", earlier that same cutscene they say "we are still your friends, do you still believe that?" which is exactly what the Fredbear Plush says to BV. So why did I mention the box? Well I think this explains what is actually in the box. I think it's Happiest Day. This is also what I think "I will put you back together" means. I think it's referring to his memories, which seem to be fuzzy as shown in the logbook most likely because he was bitten.
So in conclusion: what I think the clock ending is, is the Fredbear Plush entity creating Adventure Freddy in order to use BV's memories to set up the hints for Happiest Day. Later on in fnaf 3, BV finds the hints and uses them to give each spirit cake which allows the Happiest Day minigame to sort of manifest, where the Puppet gives Golden Freddy cake and the spirits "rest". Or at least that's what it was supposed to be.
Also, thank you for covering fnaf world, I feel like it isn't covered too much on CZcams and the only people I've really seen talk about it are a select few CZcamsrs like ImpulseEvan37, Shadow Libra and Arcadeno. I feel like it's under talked about.
"I don't think this is actually him venting his frustrations, I think it's just a joke similar to the Scott boss battle. I don't think he was literally talking about how the fan base was toxic in the game, I think it was instead just a meta joke. I think the same is happening here."
A fan downright emailed him concerned, he said ithere's no meaning behind it yeah. Like Scott's head which represents the opposite end of that satire.
I really like how you prioritise both logical sense and story value to create an explanation that not only makes sense but fits into the broader narrative satisfyingly. For the quality of your videos, your subscriber count is criminal. Keep up the good work, your videos are always really enjoyable!
I really appreciate people making theories about this series but your channel is just something different man. The quality of the video and the overall vibe are just so good. Keep it up dude.
And again, I love the cats :)
So, this means FNAF World is a game within a game within a game?
Wow.
I came here to get a refresher on fnaf world and hearing you talk about this being your first sponsored video brought a smile to my face. I watch pretty much every upload and seeing the progress you've made is amazing.
I- I can't believe I've missed this one! This could be one of my favorite theories of yours not gonn' lie!
i gotta say, this is the first time in a while ive heard a FNAF theory that makes sense. Kudos for your effort bro!
Thats a great cat right there, keeps on making the 'i love you human' face constantly
Hey im excited to see you getting sponsorships! Congrats and amazing video as always man!
this is the first video ive ever watched by you, since i was guided here from a short, and let me just say, you earned a new subscriber.
ive always had an interest in fnaf world and i actually loved playing it, and im glad it finally gets some recognition in the lore.
Your theories are always really interesting. I love your videos. Keep it up. 👍😁👍
love this theory, also your videos are always so calm it's nice
One thing to note.
While Charlie is at the party, her mask sinks notably slower, and ISN'T in either of the ending slides. Charlie is not at rest.
And while Golden Freddy is put to rest...this is Crying Child as seen by the party, one of two spirits tied to GF. This isn't Cassidy. He is not at rest either.
Nothing was retconned by 6 and UCN. Charlie still wanted to help more people and Cassidy hadn't gotten his revenge yet.
As an owner of a lvl 1000 animdude I’m pretty sure I can say I am a fnaf world fan so am glad to see this wonderful video!
Another great theory. I think you raise some great points in this one Rye. If we look at this game as clarifying what the Happiest Day is supposed to mean, it actually does clear up a lot of the mess in the lore of both FNAF3 and FNAF World.
10:33 I thought the bite was caused by spring lock failures due to the crying child's tears and squirming, because notably the golden Freddy and Bonnie suits of the time had them and they were known to fail due to water
Yeah that's more accurate, I was just adding a few extra details to the segway to the sponsor.
Fair enough. I wasn't sure if I was wrong, you were wrong, or if you weren't super focused on the details there and wanted to ask. thank you for responding :D
You got your first sponsor!!!! Your channel has grown so much!!
Yk it's awesome that your channel is growing and getting its first sponsor
I'm crying that was the best way to put in a sponsor I've ever seen
seeing the morgan and morgan sponsorship gave me whiplash because i see their ads pretty much everywhere when driving on the interstate or just watching tv lol
The only difference for me, is I think you're overlooking Henry Emily. FNAF World was the first game to even imply there's more than one adult/family involved in the Fredbear saga, but nobody ever finishes that thought to connect Henry back into it.
We know he was doing his own stuff to try and save the kids. We know he knows Charlie is in the puppet. We get that whole giant speech in pizza simulator. But we also know he *didn't* know Afton killed Charlie initially. And nobody's gonna expect scientifically proveable haunted robots. So, when did he find out? How did he find out? How much about Michael does he know? How much communication with Charlie does he have and what would communication with a haunted robot even look like?
Division of labour: if Afton and Emily both made the animatronics, who specialized in what? I'd argue there's good reason to peg Emily as the software guy to Afton's hardware. In the 80's, there still wasn't really a difference between hardware guys and software guys, they would've started as partners but by the time they're making the funtimes at least there's enough specialization necessary their work would be almost entirely divorced from each other.
So Henry is the AI guy, the coder to Afton's robotics engineer. Someone who would have access to old Fazbear IP, and the skills to hack easter eggs into the game for communication purposes. He probably was the main designer of the thing to begin with. Making the game itself may have even been a cover for the rescue missions instead of the other way around, why would Afton pay attention to Emily's little arcade side project? It's the perfect way to look busy on company work that William would also have *zero* interest in looking into. Iunno. It depends on if you think the happiest day is canon or the tragic tale of what could've been but wasn't.
We talk a lot about the consequences of ghosts being in robots, but very little about the consequences of robots being the host for a ghost, if that makes sense. What happens to the ghosts if you mess with the robot's AI? It even plays straight into all the cyberhorror scifi stuff the story's been up to lately.
Anyway, so I think there's a reason deskguy strikes so many people as a Scott insert. He is the game designer's self-insert, he's just not Scott. (I don't think we should necessarily take deskguy dying literally. Scott is very literal but that doesn't mean Henry is. I think we get access to Henry's breakdown as he pieces together what actually happened, what blame he has for it, and what he's going to do now to fix it. I don't think he actually dies but I think he knows it's a distinct possibility if he gets caught and he's correct to be afraid and he's got some hardcore survivor's guilt making him think maybe that's what he deserves. I mean by fazbear fright, he's literally the only survivor, everyone else involved has died at least once, brobro having a bit of a ragequit-life impulse is valid.)
I'm just saying, every other time we get a game this meta in this franchise, Henry's there. Makes sense it applies as much to the first time.
This comment is chaotic, sorry. CZcams is a pain to edit properly.
I also have giant déjà-vu over this, but I can't decide if it was a giant-ass comment I posted, or a giant-ass comment I thought better of and deleted, so sorry if I've dumped this rant (not rant as in angry, rant as in unhinged conspiracy ;-) ) on you before.
So you mean that Henry created 8-bit mini-games for communicating with spirits?
Top quality video as always! I'm not a fan of the specific sponsor choice but hey, you gotta pay the bills somehow.
i got such hardcore whiplash from the sponsorship i didnt know legal offices even sponsored youtube videos
Love the theory, Ive loved watching your videos ever since I found your channel!!
Love the fnaf content toast, ur fnaf videos are the only ones that make the lore make sense to me
The way I see FNAF World is that it is what Evan (The canonical name for Michael's younger brother) perceives purgatory as, hell, he even properly shows up as a party member and that the clock ending is the true (Lore related) ending, which leads to Evan awakening inside of Golden Freddy, potentially already after Cassidy was stuffed inside, in which his soul is laid to rest in the true ending of FNAF 3 after the happiest day minigame
Now, for the halloween update ending, I see it as Evan's introduction to what his sister, Elizabeth, has become long after his death, someone who went insane trying to go out into the outside world
Yay i've been waiting so long for someone to do a detailed FNAF World review
3:40
Fun fact: In fnaf world official mobile port clock ending cutscene is joking about how bouncepot did the bite of 87
Something that MatPat pointed out in one of his videos was that if you complete the Old Man Consequences mini game in Ultimate Custom Night, you get the trophy for the same ending in FNAF World
Interesting Fact: The Music That Plays During "I Will Put You Back Together" is the same ambience we hear in FNAF2's gameplay. Makes me personally think that the speaker is Charlie/The Puppet, the bear we play as is GF/Cassidy, and the person Charlie addressses in the beginning is The Crying Child. And the prologue takes place in 1987.
Really loved this video, the cat had me focused so much. I listened like a lot more clearly just watching him
The thing that Desk Guy really brings to mind for me is actually Baby in the books, of all things, which is SO weird to me. In the novel trilogy, she was made by Henry, but was brought to life by his fury at William and so was twisted and felt wrong to him. And if I'm remembering correctly, his creation of her _was_ a primary motivating factor for him eventually taking his own life. But... why the _heck_ would FNaF World be in the novel universe?
But then, we do have the spines on Baby in the games, which played an important part in her ability to seem like she was changing shape in the novels, and there's the open question about whether the "power module" was an illusion disk, so maybe there's more overlap there than we'd expect...? But that's an ENORMOUS can of worms to open.
Hooray, we finally get to talk about the only FNAF game I've ever beaten! (The other ones make me too nervous to play through, but I still love them.)
I always thought the desk man and the man with two kids was Henry, finally getting his own happiest day and reuniting with his family. I see Henry as a light self-insert of Scott's, in the way that Stephen King writes himself into Bill Denbrough. It's not too serious if it's true or not, but if it is, I'm sure it's just for fun.
I once heard that the scene of the angel is called _the happiest day_ in the game archives, and also in the archives of the game you can found the box from fnaf 4 open
I just noticed that glitched fredbear's eyes are the same color and distance apart as the beginning and clock ending cutscenes.
you've peaked my interest about desk guy. i haven't seen him being discussed as of late. please do a video on him
"I think it's time we talked about fnaf world"
NO HE"S FALLEN TO THE DARK SIDE
Fantastic work!! Always love hearing about FNAF World, makes me nostalgic to the beginning of the series! On that end… perhaps (and I know it’s sort of a dark take) the person at the desk IS Scott…. Apologizing for what will happen to the story beyond that point. This was pre-books, pre-Charlotte as the puppet…. His “whole story” was complete after FNAF 4. Perhaps this was a hint that the future was going to be bittersweet? I’m always one to mourn the original 4 (and FNAF World) because the vibes simply hit different during this stage in the story. (And if the Crying Child Puppet theory was the original plan, I’ll mourn that loss until the end of time)
Going straight from watching TRG playing Kamek's Library in Mario Party DS to this video immediately using it as background music threw me so hard lol
Dayshift At Freddy's was ahead of its time, in DSAF2 you literally enter an arcade to communicate with the game's puppet to communicate with her on how to let the children's soul rest in peace lmao
@@RyeToast If you like or just can get shrug off dark humor then you should definitely give DSAF a try, DSAF is really fun and the lore, man, the lore for a joke fan game is unironically amazing and captivating
@@RyeToast hey, i just wanted to add on something a while later, first of all, it's perfectly fine if you don't play DSAF, i don't mind lmao
also, DAMN, you really left a reply on a random comment talking about a random fnaf fan game in a video from 3 months ago? That's dedication to satisfy your audience, if i could i would have become a member in the channel right then and there, props to you, keep up the great content, i'll sure as hell keep watching it!
I like your video, but I want to add on with something i never see people mention. the fnaf 3 minigames are references to things the crying child saw the days before he died. he saw a fat kid who looked like balloon boy, he saw a broken mangle doll, he saw that kid with the tiny toy chica, he saw a stage with fredbear and spring bonnie, and he saw the shadows of them being cast. not to mention all of fredbear’s diner looks like the happiest day minigame.
In the frame where it shows the person with two children/an angel, if you actually open the game in click team theres text off screen saying "Happiest day", hope this helps.
8:28
I personally think that it could be William and his children (well not necessarily do I think it's William specifically but I am leaning towards William atm) bcuz it wouldn't make sense for it to be an angel bcuz the background makes 0 sense and it would make a bit more sense if the flashing colors were covering the entire screen but no it's just that small rectangle that's flashing so this seems more reasonable that this is actually showing us William watching TV with 2 of his kids (most possibly Elizabeth and Chris since it's hinted at that desk guy ending that this all took place before Sister Location)
$5 says Old Man Consequences is an allusion to the final picture in front of the TV being Grandpa Afton with his arms around William and Henry's shoulders, and that's why we never get an official last name for Henry
Okay desk guy speculation
What if he's the Indie Game Dev mentioned at the beginning of Help Wanted? The speech about how "something terrible is coming" and baby killing him could all be metaphorical - maybe its a reference to how he was part of this big cover-up for Fazbear Entertainment, but then found out something he wasn't supposed to (sister location stuff) and decided to blow the whistle on it anyway and thus provoke the company. This would partially explain why sister location plays differently, as he was trying to expose the company instead of help cover stuff up, and baby killing him could be in reference to the act of releasing sister location "killing" his career (or depending on the company maybe actually having him killed)
One of Henry’s voice line in fnaf 6 was him saying: (This monster i unwillingly “helped” to create) to me this is him referring to circus baby and that he helped William create her.
P.S: I think Desk guy in Fnaf world is Henry.
FNaF Worlds kinda addictive. My cousin keeps playing it all the time. But, I like to see lore stuff. The lore is very confusing at some times. As We don't know the crying childs name. Or if any animatronic in Security Breach is possessed. Who knows? They're all just questions added deeper into lore, waiting to be answered.
so proud of u for getting a sponsor !!! get that cash Rye you deserve it !!
Happy to see someone still talking about fnaf World
Alternate but similar theory: FNAF World takes place within the code of the indie games established in Help Wanted where the spirits exist as digital ghosts. They are there possibly because the games depicted their suffering and death and therefore recreated their agony.
In FNAF World, the spirits put the pieces in place to allow the player of Indie Game FNAF 3 to trigger the Happiest Day and thereby release the spirits from the games. Cassidy stays behind and traps William’s spirit in the FNAF World space as UCN (UCN includes several FNAF World characters so must exist within the same space) . Glitchtrap is the digital manifestation of William from UCN who hatched a plan to return to his real body in Security Breach. Cassidy (still in digital form) infiltrates the arcade machines at the PizzaPlex and embarks on a QUEST to free Vanessa and stop William.
With this, Desk Man is the indie developer. He literally says “You deactivated my games”.
Old Man Consequences behaves as a sentient being in FNAF World, UCN, and Princess Quest, so I believe he is an actual spirit. In fact, I think he’s Henry. After sacrificing himself to wipe out the horrors of his business partner and company in FNAF 6, I think he ends up in FNAF World and chooses to live in solitude by his red lake. It would make sense given all that he has lost. His “old wise man” persona also matches well with Henry’s personality in FNAF 6. Once he learns that William is loose again, he actively helps Cassidy work to stop him as the red king in Princess Quest.
I still believe in the idea that desk guy could be in some way related to Henry from the novels. In the novels, Henry let loose a robot to kill him, that robot being baby (if I recall correctly, but it was definitely a robot), and that's exactly what we see in fnaf world
I love your cat! Their eyes are so full of love and they seem so content!
great theory, i wanna point out the original release of fnaf world, the one with arcade style overworld, fits in with the idea of being a old arcade in fnaf 3.
For my own headcanon I like to think it’s just a special afterlife for the victims of Afton whenever they pass on.
i love these videos! just hope the cat got a nice cut of the sponsor money, they were an integral part of the video obviously
come on guys we all know that the picture that we see inside the lake is just Michael Afton hold two comically size bowling pins right?
Well yeah duh. I was just entertaining some other options. Even though it's clearly Micheal Afton holding comically sized bowling pins
Desk guy to me makes sense to be Henry because it would connect a little bit into the books, where Henry did create Baby and he did have one of creations kill him
the guy at the desk ending is a fun interlude to sister loction
6:27 Desk Man/Desk Guy could be the prototype version of Steve Snodgrass from tales of the mega Pizza Plex book two which is in story 1
I think that the ultimate custom night is
somewhat a sequal to the fnaf world. The render style is similar. The main character is golden freddy. We also see that there is a promenent way to get a glitched Fredbear in the game. There is DeeDee. There is Old Man Consequences and his similar ending here. Also it has a large grid roster of characters up to that point. I think ultimate costume night is the same plane of existence molded and restructured by Cassidy to torture William. This also seems to be supported by the "2 souls occupy golden freddy" theory. It suggest that the fnaf 4 dialogue from the plush is Cassidy and that we see them talk to us in fnaf world then attack us in ucn.
Why do we need a theory about this the game outright tells us what's going on, the crying child needs to find the pieces left and put them together to free his friends (and said pieces are also heavily implied to come from his memories, implying the MCI kids were set free similarly to how Andrew was set free in the books)
And in the game, there is not a breadcrumb left for the happiest day minigams itself, meaning whoever the yellow eyes is didn't want to free the last child, which is out of character for Charlotte
And the yellow eyes literally tells the player that they are still his friends, it's not Michael. (And adventure freddy is the one who sets the clocks for "him" to find, not the person the yellow eyes us talking to, glitched fredbear states adventure freddy was only created for one reason, and that was to set the clocks.
There are connections between ucn because of the old man consequences Easter egg where if you set him to one and do his mini game you get sent to the 4th level of fnaf world, this actually unlocks the ending in fnaf world.
So yeah
Honestly, I'd go a slightly different direction: that FNAF World represents the setup Charlie and Cassidy went through to allow Michael to be able to help them set the Crying Child free. The Clocks show you setting the pieces into place - putting BB and Shadow Bonnie into their respective squares, setting the combination for the Fredbear minigame, arranging the cupcakes into position, etc. (The access to these minigames are also hinted at in the between night sections.)
While I agree Michael isn't touching posters from his office, I think he may be present during the day, or wandering around when Springtrap isn't at least, and finding these clues that send him to each of the now-active arcade machines, finishing their games, and setting the souls free, allowing them to converge around the Crying Child. How else would they affect each other? The balloons BB collects making platforms for everyone else, and the cake Mangle finds allowing you to give that cake to the children in the other 5 minigames. It only makes sense if they're either in the same cabinet or connected through some extraordinary circumstances.
(Something notable: Phantom Chica appears through the screen of one of these arcade cabinets! It makes sense that at least one of the spirits would be found within it.)
I don't think FNAF 3's minigames are a metaphor for FNAF World, or even vice versa, but that one leads directly into the other. "The pieces are in place for you. Rest." Reassuring the young Afton boy that he will be okay. "I will put you back together."
Regarding the desk man making baby, here's my own two cents on it:
The desk man isn't a real person, but a metaphor, and his death is as well. The desk man is the remnants of what may have been a good person, before Afton began his murders.
This is the death of William Afton, and the rebirth of Springtrap. He made baby, and seeing his daughter die because of his creation destroyed what little bit of good he had left.
Also as for fnaf world minigames,
Maybe Henry also made the minigames or set it up for Micheal to do the rest. Kinda like John Kramer/ jigsaw who planned a lot even after death
also FNAF world can be a game about CC trying to remember his memories.

Come to think about it? I think what’s inside the locked box is basically this. That Fnaf world is an interpretation of the fnaf mini games being built to guide the spirits to their happiest day, like you’ve mentioned. So maybe fnaf world is one dimension, but it’s linked to the real life, and I don’t wanna be farfetched but it could also explain why some of those video games are possessed in SB. While I don’t see a lore connection between SB and fnaf world, we can speculate that whoever is trying to “fix” the game, it’s intended purpose is to guide the dead so they can rest. Hence, the fnaf mini games being played occasionally. Or something.
i just made a huge comment explaining how the fnaf world and UCN are the same worlds i would love it if you could read it.
I think it actually isn't just about evan's post death, i think it was actually for someone else. Let me explain. I think that the breadcrumbs aren't for evan, they are for Michael afton and predict his journey and I think i do have evidence. The first Clock you get is of balloon boy, which many i think associate with the fnaf 3 BB's Air adventure minigame but I think that this is a different meaning. I think that the boy with the balloon actually represents the Birthday that Michael ruined, You see on the way to the party in fnaf 4 theres a kid similar to balloon boy standing there This may be a stretch but it may also not be. The second clock takes you to the four unlit buttons which when you step on them you light them up, Many associate this with the minigame you recieve when you do that exact thing in fnaf 3. but i don't think so, I think that this represents michael's encounters with the animatronics in fnaf 1, on his way to figure out whats happening with these robots and to maybe stop what his father had did. The reason i think this instead of the arcade is that the four squares were once off but after fredbear passes over them they suddenly become vibrant like the animatronics during the awakening. at first the cupcakes were abit difficult to pinpoint where this could be from but then I had the idea, what if the cupcakes represent after michael gets scooped and ennard entering michael's body. There are four cupcakes in that clock game and four animatronics that had combined to form ennard(Note how they all fit into 1 box which could imply conjoining) and then escape through michael. The number one i do believe is one that links to fnaf 3 but I think this one represents the Address michael had to go to in order to find the fazbear frights location, possibly from job applications. And the final one...the rabbit may be springtrap but considering we actually have to push him into a box I think its representing Fnaf 6's ending. Pushing the animatronics into 1 place(a place shaped like a box) so that they can be put to rest, if it was a reference to springtrap then the clock game should have been releasing it but in this case you put him in a box. This concedes at the end of michael's story at least until fnaf security breach which they probably wouldn't know of the connections to fnaf world because up until fnaf help wanted it was scott who primarily hid easter eggs from fnaf world alluding to the games. so I think that Fnaf world is our Marvel's Endcredit scene for the series, giving us hints towards the future which requires us to look back.
I just want to mention that I vividly remember Scott saying that was Henry Emily in dawko's interview but he retconned it to Henry still being alive since his death wasn't mentioned in sister location and he was used too little for him to be wasted like that
My impressions of it is that it is an afterlife, of sorts. One where the dead children killed by Afton go through the motions of what happened to them and try to sort it out, in the style of an rpg. Now obviously there are big contrivances here, one major being the cast that you can unlock.
While the opposite can be bluntly said about custom night, that being Afton's hell.
