    Theorists, FNAF has gone and made its lore even more complicated. Well, sort of. You see, in true Five Nights at Freddy's fashion, things are not how they seem. In fact, much of the lore may be a LIE to keep us from the truth! Today we are turning back the clock to the first four games and proving that everything about them is a TRICK!

    I think the story of Steve, apart from the illusion disks, is actually more of story about Scott Cawthon and how he felt when he made the games as it got more successful, rather than anything that has merit over the story of the first 4 games.
    Him having nightmares can be traced back to Scott having a nightmare about Bonnie when making the first game, as well as the success of the franchise coming to haunt him because he never expected it to be so successful.
    Steve recalling rumors of murders and paranormal activity can be a description of Scott Cawthon coming up with ideas and doing research into his inspirations for the games.

      I have something to add that probably means nothing but remember the interview with Scott himself on Dawko’s channel? Well in the interview near the start Dawko says “with.. Fred bear and..” then Scott replies “yea, they thought Golden Freddy, yea.”
      If Golden Freddy never existed than what actually happened at Fazbear’s Family Diner? What about Fredbear and the bite of 83?
      I’m sorry. I just had an idea about it. 😅

      When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
      Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
      The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
      I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God!
      Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.

      We all know that the franchise supposedly ended at fnaf 4. But because of popularity, Scott had to continue it, with books and new games. I believe that everything proven is actually true. Fnaf 1-4 actually did exist and there were crying child, cassidy, etc. Everything actually happened.
      However, due to Scott's selling the franchise, the new owners wanted to reboot the franchise by adding their own. This means that if they continue with the fnaf 1-4 lore, it would be a problem. Heck, the locked box hasn't even been confirmed. It was only presumed that the lock box contains a child's body but scott threw the idea because it's too dark.
      TLDR: The lore changed. Everything was canon and true for fnaf 1-4. But with the new owners wanted to stamp their own identity to the franchise, they wanted to stop using the original lore and games making it not canon. It depends on your perspective. Are you going to be the old fnaf theorist using the old lores but the evidences stops at fnaf VR or are you going to be the new theorist throwing up all the canons until fnaf 4?

    New theory: the story from the book described in the video is actually about MatPat, being gaslit by Scott into crazier and crazier theories until he himself starts questioning what is real anymore and then is presented with a choice between moving on into the real world or diving back into the FNaF illusion that will stab him in the back

  • @AdeminaMemes

    Okay, here's a thought: "Golden" Freddy, is Fredbear, but with faded fur. It could have started brown, then faded to that golden-ish color. It's why (or perhaps part of the reason why) his hat and bow tie are sometimes purple: the dye they used for his props is fading. Funnily enough, this would explain why they don't wash the Gen 2 animatronics: if whatever cleaner they used faded the fur enough to turn it a whole separate color, they might want to clean them as little as possible. Plus William might learn from his mistakes trying to clean up evidence...

    I'm convinced that Scott since day one only sprinkles tidbits of lore into FNAF and everytime Matpat makes a theory about it, he uses a Coinflip to determine whether he should take Matpat's Word into canon or completely rewrite the story just to spite him. From the looks of things, it seems that Scott landed on heads a little too much during the course of those 60 FNAF Videos.

    19:17 fnaf AR's Funtime service does carry Circus Baby, Funtime Freddy, and Ballora. This could be the very same rental service mentioned in Sister Location, which could support that re-skins are slightly canon. The re-skins are used for holidays and birthdays, and the camera booth is basically for a child to look back at fun memories. However, the Glitchtrap virus could have travelled through animatronics to find a new host, but fails. Then, the virus hooks to a model likely used in fnaf Help Wanted. You see? There is a way for it to work within the timeline, and I just typed it just to convince you this because it is the best way for it to connect to anything else.

    Rewatching this and I need to point out that at 12:30, MatPat is ignoring contradictory evidence(which you notice he kinda does alot in these but that's not the point). He uses the illusion disks to explain aspects of Security Breach, specifically Gregory and Freddy's interactions with Vanny.
    This doesn't work because he wants Gregory to be a robot. If Gregory is a robot, there is no reason the illusion discs, which work by manipulating sound to influence the brain, would work on Gregory. He doesn't have a human brain. And it DEFINITELY wouldn't apply to Freddy, who is an AI and doesn't have a human brain for sure. And since the illusion disks use sound, it doesn't make any sense that Frddy getting new eyes would make Vanny visible.
    But then again, the fact that the disks effect cameras in the books is scuffed as well.

    Just posting this because honestly 99.9 percent of my work days are helped by your channels. And I watch this video almost twice a week XD
    Has anyone gone back to the old games to SEE if there have been discrepancies between lore portrayl in games 1-4 versus lore portrayl in everything after and if there actually are major discrepancies to support the theory?

    Maybe the fact that golden Freddy looks different in many different ways is just red herring and is simply them changing the hand and bow tie of the character. It’s like whatever.
