Yeah thats My Favorite FNAF Fan Made GameAll Of Times. Since in Medium 2010's
*I'M Broken animatronic Look Likes Before FNAF 3 Springtrap. isn't?*
11:31 Don't forget it to about info's. That any video creator person make little mistake.
couldn't you put the sponsor of the video in the beggining? its so unneccesary and breaks the pace of the video itself!! I don't mean it is bad, just put it at the end of the video, so it doesn't feel too interruptive.
I hope you can be aware of this message and change your mind. Aslo, sponsors suck ass.
Old Candy got to be the most chad character in this series. Beats up an abusive father, looked good for being old, and refused to elaborate further.
Pretty sure the father was just scolding his kid...

“A problem” - Mary being in the room
“Your problem” - Vinny’s vengeful spirit
The events of the FNAC 3 cutscenes were essentially teased from the beginning
Wow, that’s pretty good storytelling. Nice
Those ars some pretty general assertions, though, so it is entirely possible, and I'd even say easy, to go back and retcon a story in hindsight. With the FNAF story, retcons and shifts in the story are almost impossible to hide since Scott keeps it quite broad and closes off certain story possibilities as he goes based on how the community are feeling about it. This doesn't allow for the most clearly communicated game, but it avoids any potential roadblocks through any individual hint or allusion being too innocuous or hard to read at the time and he can always come back to it. Considering there was never any intention to release a sequel for FNAC, it's entirely possible, and I'd say plausible that there was no clear story coming out of the first game and that the story was modelled after those statements made in the cutscenes of the first game.

Five Nights at Candy’s was definitely groundbreaking. It broke the fanbase wide open and helped create so many of the fangames that we see today.
"It broke the fanbase wide open"💀💀💀
@@boxmedia123 I used that term because it also spawned a bunch of shitty Fangames that was released during that era too. Lmao

getting springlocked is absolutely horrible, but getting run through a factory processor? sounds like an experience I couldn’t describe with WORDS.
Depends on the machine. could be a slow, knowing death. or it could be fast. incredibly fast. So fast one moment your co worker is there and another hes little more than mangled flesh and bone
I remember in English class we read The Monkeys Paw and the same thing happened to one of the characters in that, he was caught in a machine and mangled so badly the family couldn't even recognize him.

It’s really refreshing to have someone talk about the Candy’s Series without being overly negative about it, as that has unfortunately become a bit of a trend to not like Candy’s
Based on the gameplay I’ve seen of this fan made series, it looks really good to me. How is there a trend to not like candies? That Sounds like a grift to me. This series is objectively good and well written. Now the 2nd game could be a lot better since the office has pretty much no mechanics to it and you can just stay in the camera and call the phones in empty rooms the entire night. That’s a pretty significant flaw in the game design. FNAF3 executed that formula better as you couldn’t just keep spamming audio lures, you had to use the maintenance panel to bring systems back online when errors occurred. I feel that FNAC2 would’ve benefited alot from a mechanic similar to the maintenance panel. If he does remaster it, he should remake it instead by adding in a similar mechanic to help make the gameplay a little more challenging and more interesting. Mini games and storytelling wise it was great.
@@cwp24 Most people who don't like the Candy's Series, like UhYeah, also don't care much for the Story in Fan Games or in general, and since the Story is one of Candy's strong points, that probably has a lot to do with it. That, or they really can't get past Candy's 2 being pretty Mid in comparison
@@mecburnablasta6811 that makes sense. I can understand that.
@@mecburnablasta6811 honestly I hate that people trash candys just because of second game being bad compared to the rest
Personally, I think that the second game was pretty good, the reason there were no phone messages was because: why would there be phone messages for a night guard/technician/someothermaintenencejob when Mayella wasn’t supposed to be there in the first place, Y’know? But I will agree, the mechanics were a tad bit dry after a while. Also, something I love about the game, is that it served really well as a (though unknown at the time of release) finale to the lore and first 3 games!
I found myself liking the FNAC 3 storyline because it felt real, it was simple ,a bit dark and even wholesome, just a traumatized kid trying to overcome her said trauma she got from seeing an actor accidently killing someone in an argument and then killing someone trying to report it and that actor just values his career and gets away with everything until Marry overcomes her trauma, remembers what happened and through telling the police about what happened the murderer is given what he deserves, all of this caused because of an accident with playing hide and seek at a children's attraction with actors that are still human.
Something that the main FNaF series forgot. Supernatural stuff like ghosts weren't grounded in the first place, but true horror like trauma or a workplace misconduct and danger are things that drove the series and the franchise essentially. Candy's came up with an idea that is essentially believable and reasonable why the horror felt real as well.
@@danielgeronimo5538 that's what I like about Fnac, this aspect of a quite realistic tragedy
hi vergil
@@danielgeronimo5538Agreed, nowadays FNAF lore is all about viruses possessing people to join a cult. It feels very unreal.
@@danielgeronimo5538i think haunted animatronics is oretty grounded but the scifi aspects of the newer games is a problem
FNAC was truly the start of something special for FNAF fan games. It was the first fully made fan game as well as one that truly started a trend for other fan game developers to create their own unique stories on their games examples such Popgoes, TJOC, Jolly, Those Nights at Rachel’s, DSAF, ONAF, and even FNAF Plus. Thank you for all the creativity Emil Macko.
Yeah
I thought FNATI was first? this whole discussion of which was first breaks my brain
@@reddie1705 I think they meant fan made series
@@Gaming2DMX sorry, FNATI is five nights at treasure island; I'm wrong anyway, came back to edit my comment and say TI wasn't finished for a WHILE until Radiance picked it up, one of the others were the first (but not susie)
it wasn't candy's either, I just caught Minaxa saying that Emil, quote, "had believed he was too late to the fangame scene, and that a lot of functions had been used already". THIS CONTINUES TO MAKES MY BRAIN HURT 😭
not Rachels, it's made by the same guy; Emil Macko
I like the details about the trash bin in the staff area of FNaC 3, as minor as it is. Of course, it's unfortunate about the kid's love basically being tossed aside, but it speaks a lot to the personalities of the three actors. The puppeteer, it's a safe guess he's more just pompous about it, because Mary never really has any in-depth interactions directly with him. He's an actor who feels above his position, and likely is more bothered that he has to deal with children shows at some weird off-shoot theater. The Rat likely doesn't get AS much as the Cat does, but what he gets he really cherishes. The rat is the most emotionally driven of the three, given his whole "main character" syndrome. By no means malicious, it could've been what he thought was the best part of his life, likely a poorer background. He gets drunk, but he feels on top of the world and absolutely adores playing hide and seek with the kids. This emotional attachment itself was too strong though, he rode the wave too eagerly.
I think the Cat is the only one who had much going for him. He didn't undershoot or overshoot his position, it's a job and he enjoys the little parts of it. Likely inspired by the Rat's enthusiasm, he even offers on occasion to play hide and seek with guests himself. Yet he wouldn't hold on to most of the kid's drawings, he knew that getting overly sentimental about the job would undersell himself, and ignore the professional and proper side of things. He's level-headed, even tried assuring the Puppeteer that people would understand, it was an accident. The puppeteer couldn't accept that though, because deep down, while he was willing to blame others, he knew he was the one who took the first violent act in the situation, opening the flood gate of escalation.
I red all of it
@@mcnuggwtscreations Me too.
I feel so bad for the Rat and the Cat in the afterlife. I don't know how Vinny really interacts with them... But I do know that he finessed their angry spirits to be mad at Mary instead of at him... Their murderer and more people like the twins and an unlucky night guard or two had to suffer for it
All because Vinny refused to accept the blame for his own actions and cared about his career more than his fellow human beings. Even without the theater incident I bet he still would have played a convincing cold hearted killer
@@mcnuggwtscreations same
I ain't reading allat
Fun fact, the FNaC universe is shared with the Popgoes universe. Which means only the first three FNaF games are canon to the story, and instead of there being a “William Afton,” there’s a Simon Fitzgerald.
This still applies with the rebooted Popgoes universe, although there are some tweaks. I’d love a video on the old Popgoes lore, pre-reboot.
I think FNAC is only canon to the Evergreen/reboot timeline, because this was only confirmed in the context of the Fanverse.
@@DrumboAgainGaming Nope, this was confirmed way before the fan verse was even a concept. What you've just said is blatantly false.
@@inkiepie2259
Huh, I didn’t know that. Thanks!
It's interesting that some fan games are being purposely connected to each other like that.
FNAF extended universe is real
Holy crap I did not remember the lore being that deep. I’m also pretty impressed that it treats childhood trauma really well. It’s done in a mature way that’s easy to digest and also really nice. Can’t wait for the next installment
It's more deep when you realize it shares a universe with Popgoes
@@thediam0nddrag0n78 and in that timeline, fnaf ends at fnaf 3
Candy's and Popgoes are in the same universe and only follow FNAF 1-3 however FNAC and Popgoes could become Canon or Semi-Canon to FNAF with some proper adjustments like Simon Fitzgerald being a person who was inspired by Henry and William to make his own restaurant and But that's just my opinion tho and I did say semi-canon which means not fully canon and least they could make it canon to FNAF 1-6 Imo
Candy’s was the first fnaf fan game series where I put together the lore all on my own, no help from videos or anything. It was a lot of fun to do
That's because the lore is made good enough to be able to make the conclusion about everything, not like the shit lore of the original FNaF that they have been dragging on and on and make it extremely complicated just because they want to sell something
@@blackbullet4254 This is really how i feel about FANF nowdays, and why i really appreciate the simpler style of Candy's lore more. In FANF each game just adds more question than answers, especially when things related about Afton is being dragged on and on for soo long. While in Candy (well until we have the 4th game) the entire story centers around Mary, or at least someone related to Mary if we count FNAC 2. Candy use the simple premise of childhood trauma of trying to overcome that guilt, but she being a kid at the time is scared soo hard that even she starts to think that she's the one that started this whole chain of events. And i like that it has continuity where 3 is her origin story as kid, and then 1 is her as an adult now having to face RAT face to face again, and then her daughter in 2 finally put an end to all this madness. For a fanmade game, Candy managed to make something simple into a genuinely easy yet convincing story.
I mean the FNAC lore is definitely not as speculative as the FNAF lore. It’s really just a matter of connecting the dots and not as much theorizing
@blackbullet4254 that's what I like about fnaf though honestly. I like to try to find answers to questions.
@@YeeterMcBeater470 the problem with that thinking is in FNaF, not everything has a good answer, or even any answer at all
I'd argue that Candy's 3 is self-contained enough to stand on its own as a testament to horror storytelling. There's nothing really supernatural going on, the lore is gruesome but grounded in reality (that sort of thing can and does happen all the time in real life), and the whole thing turns out to be a surprisingly-respectful depiction of what someone with PTSD goes through and how they learn to live with it.
Finally this game is getting the love it deserves, such well made games with touches of its own lore it clearly had some love put into it
Fnac has always been loved
Fr was bro not paying attention 💀
Bro fnac was always been loved wth 💀
wdym finally bro? like what its been respected since ages ago
To all the comments I'm just referring to a video going into such a deep dive into it, idk if more channels have done that but I just got exited about it lol
50:55 actually, it makes more sence that Mary comes to the factory on the sixth nightafter hearing her daughter's stories about the place, that's why in the Game you are confronted by the originals cat and rat instead of the usual animatronics and why at the end she burns down the place
Mary essentially did a Micheal Afton move and Burned down the Factory like how Mike burned down Fazbear's Fright.
Even though it would have been a cool idea, it was still her daughter who went in the sixth night, because if you die, the newspaper says that a 17 year old girl was found dead in the factory, with her injuries so severe that it resembled a bear attack
If we ever get a remake of FNAC 2 in some way I hope the rooms in the cameras look a bit more unique and not basically the same room and the animatronics have more unique mechanics, not just Chester and Penguin.
I like the mini games in FNAC 2. This game could have definitely been better.
@Edyu69ツ FNAC 2's animationic balance and gameplay boils down to "Phone call simulator" due to the office literally having 0 mechanics, meaning the best strategy becomes calling empty rooms on the camera until someone shows up while also making sure Chester doesn't get in via a vent.
@@MahNamJeff uhh i dont remember replying to this i meant to reply someone elses comment and it ended replying this one
@@edyu69 huh, weird.
Yeah, I hope Emil will make FNaC 2 more intersting in remastered version too, good commeny
I also feel like a remake of Fnac 2 could help it in the story department as well, acting as a more proper finale to Fnac 3's story explaining Vinnie’s motives better. For example
-How did Vinnie become a Puppet recolor
-why and how did he throw kids into a factory press
-how did the cat and rat come back?
-does he have any ties to Simon/William
-how much control does Vinnie have over the animatronics?
What draw me to this series was how it felt so polished that it felt like an official game that you would see being sold.
When i was a kid i literally thought this game was from scott
The way I thought FNAC is actually canon in FNAF timeline when I watch the gameplay video lol
That's why I love the idea behind Fanverse, something like this given big budget has fantastic potential.
this definitely broke the ice for future fan games and pioneered the way for LOTSSS of good ones
22:06 i know that police officer is supposed to have a mustache, but it honestly looks like he's super pumped to just be tasing this animatronic cat like ":D"
"Oh boy I'll finally get that promotion for sure after I arrest this animatronic cat for drug possession!"
I love tasing animatronic cats!
thats a mustache? I thought he was just a psychopath lmao
"Oh boy, I've never tased a robot before!"
@@locxlsxdsxck5171 "I've always wanted to try this!"
My main issue with the FNAC 3 animatronics is that they are less scary than the real versions. Probably due to at least the eyes. Empty eye sockets is just creepier
I beg to differ, the animatronics in fnac 3 were horrific as fuck
@@elennova754 i'm not saying they aren't scary, but look at RAT in fnac 1, he's terrifying as is imo
@@Stratilex It may come down to personal preference, but i agree that RAT in 1 is probably one of the best designed fanf fangame character ever. And really liked the idea when we view him in the EXTRAS menu the music stops at him, like even the game is kinda afraid of him lol
@@ernestorio3550 I always love when fan games cut the music in the extras. It conveys the idea that there's something *wrong* with the character you're viewing, to the point where the soundtrack itself is tampered with
Honestly yeah, empty eye sockets kinda have something even more unsettling than 'evil eyes'.
However, aside from the inspiration from FNAF4, I would say that having them have no eyes might make it more difficult to fight?
Like, the eyes stand out very much, black pools with bright red irises. Those are the things you would notice first most likely, and they are situated on the head, the part where you need to shine your light onto. Having them there provides a bit of a focus point for easier tracking. Can't say for certain of course without having a model without eyes to test it on, but I think it isn't too unreasonable to say. It might not sound like much of a difference but design often incorporates features like this to draw attention to certain areas.
On the other hand, an enemy without eyes could also be a much greater challenge, because tracking the head with the light is somewhat harder.
aside from the gameplay, the lore in this game is actually pretty interesting/deep. I hope emil macko doesnt let us down in the 4th fnac game.
fun fact: theres a cool easter egg where you can find the origami cat in every night in fnac 3, you can click it to knock it down and you'll get a secret ending.
Fun fact: after doing a little math I found out working as the night guard at candy’s pays you roughly 2 dollars an hour with no overtime
That's below minimum wage in 1987, which is $3.35/hr! Rowboatics is no better than Fazbear Entertainmemt!
I believe that the character in the last night in fnac 2 was actually mary. After she found out about how her daughter was going to the abandoned factory and how the animatronics were still alive and roaming, she knew what she had to do. The reason the rat and cat came out at night 6 and not the other nights was because they sensed Marys presence. Afterwards she burned it all down and set the souls of the animatronics free. Setting her soul free from the guilt as well
It was confirmed to still be Mary's daughter in the game over screen if you die to either the Rat or the Cat.
@@ElusiveMoth5I have a feeling Marylin knew what was happening because Mary told her exactly what happened, so Marylin decides to take the risk and try to set the souls free. She purposely loses the bet with her friends just to get a chance to free the place. Her friend mentioned she lost the bet again, so it’s likely she didn’t know the first time, only hearing about the full situation when Mary tells her after she visited the factory.
@@3face857 this ☝️
W theory + Canon, well explained
I think about this for a second and it would make a bit of sense, considering that she was once a security guard at the factory and she sleep during the job, leading to cat and rat kill the twins and turn them into animatronics, she felt guilty for this and tried to take everything back by going back to the factory and face her mistakes and such
@@luisasantosgoncalves9592 The game over screen confirms that it is Marylin
fnac 3 really broke me. The story's so strong, and you really get to love the characters. Mary's journey was insightful and heartwarming, and the secret endings are equally horrifying and sad. It's awesome. Definitely my favorite one of the three.
edit: HOLY COW! That summary just exploded the game's doors wide open for me. Its insane how everything connects like that! Mary's even more of a hero than I thought!
Ngl Mary feels like a Female version of Micheal Afton.
Still remember playing fnac 1 for the first time in 2015-2016. Good times 😭
nostalgia
Me too 😭✨ me and my brother played 1 and 2, we even pretend to be candy (my brother) and Cindy (me) because of how much they were so alike, like us :D people use to confuse us as twins, which is ironic enough
I always kinda thought the actor in rats suit was Strangling Vinny (for ease I'll refer to them as their puppet) in that scene (ergo why he gets pushed away). Understandably anyone would be freaked out by something like that.
Everyone understands that the Rat actor's death was accidental. It was what he did afterwards, killing the Cat actor and covering all up, what cements him as heartless.
honestly the best thing about this game series is that it had a clean ending.Unlike fnaf who kept ressurecting william afton fifty million times
One thing that genuinely concerns me about knowing there's a 4th game planned is the series not knowing when to stop. Fnaf has already damaged itself by not knowing when to stop, and I hope Candy's doesn't have similar fate.
Dude. The fnac games are always made a few years apart.
I think Fnac 4 is about a different Location where you play as some other Main-Character.
This by far my favorite fan made series of all time. The characters were so unique and the story was refreshing, and I’m a cat guy…so of course I’d like this game lol.
Same but I never played it

I love how within the games newspaper articles you can see that Candy's keeps trying to pick up where Freddy's leaves off
They are rival restaurants that are constantly competing
51:35 something to consider Is the fact that Candy's and Popgoes share a universe, meaning that only fnaf 1-3 are (potentially due to popgoes' reboot existing) the only fnaf games that have happened, and Williams story (potentially) ties more into popgoes pizzeria than Candy's burgers and fries.

FNAC will forever hold a very special place in my heart of the memories I had with this game, scrolling through fanart on Google in late 2016, watching let’s plays of this game or anything related to FNAC,and basically getting me interested in the whole FNAF series in general.
there is a reason that FNAC is considered to be the first ever "real" fan game
Twelve year old me never attempted nor was bothered to understand the lore of the Candy series.
A couple years later, after watching this, I can't believe I missed out on some of the best storytelling the FNaF fan-game scene has to offer.
It’s lore is great because it’s simple and easy to get. That isn’t a dig at this game, but I like simplicity.
I love how simple the story is. It's still a a great tale, it wraps everything all up in a nice bow, what a great series
…So I’m not the only one who thinks FNAC is just absolutely f&#%ing incredible?
The familiar, yet original mechanics, graphics, jumpscares, and all without getting any more overwhelming than it should be. Everything about the first game set up an amazing start. Especially for Emil’s lesser experience back then.
The lack of plotholes, the “teenager visits abandoned warehouse” setting, the direct-indirect lore, even more originality, the animations, despite the cameras being purposefully laggy, as not to be used as an excuse to lessen the graphic quality, the second game made brilliant filler.
The immense detail, more lore still coinciding with the past games, EVEN CLEANER & FULLER ANIMATIONS (seriously, just seeing The Rat scurrying so freakishly gives me chills), the lack of repetition despite there only being two characters hunting you down at a time, the minigames, everything down to something as minute as their tiny deathly eyes, it all looks so polished and professionally done.
The amount of shit added to a simple remaster, without straying from what the original game was, without getting boring, and without losing the hype I got from seeing something so new, yet so old, every consecutive time I failed or succeeded. Every night, and every minute of this game, along with all the others, had me at the edge of my seat, only playing more intently every game.
I’m genuinely invested in the fourth installment more than I have been with anything else ever. Wake me up when the day comes.
I remember this game making me cry from fear when I was little, especially the glowing eyes in the doors, and my sister _insisting_ that the blood on the losing screen was food coloring
Candy's was one of the three major FNaF-related aspects of my childhood. It's really neat to see you finally covering this!
I still can't believe I thought Candy's 2 was the best game out of the trilogy though. I thought the camera-flipping transition was the coolest thing ever, and never took the time to realize how freakin' easy the gameplay is.
What were the other 2?
“And for some reason he made this”
Immediately gets Taco Bell ad.
I see he created Taco Bell
I fell in love with the FNAC series since Covid era, and it surely strengthened my love for FNAF fangames!
I always enjoyed the Candy's always seemed like it was trying to add to Fnaf and not just exploit it's popularity, it seemed like it was a geniune fan game, not just a basic clone or parody
FNaC is really well made. I hope everything is going well with FNaC 4. Love the video, man. Please do Popgoes.
TRUE!
Oh, that's.... something.
it’s good but i mean it’s kinda shit in terms of mechanics and stuff (especially fnac 2)
@Kane Carter Wow. I never expected you to comment on this. Love your games, man.
@@POPGOES hi
something I want to add to candies 3 is that the rat unlike the other two seems to like his job as performer maybe it’s because he is the most popular character but when you find the thrown out drawings, only people who drew the puppets here in the cat have been thrown out, which I take as the rat kept his drawings It’s also probably why he didn’t want to go home, even though he should have. the theory, he also remembers mary when they play hide and seek the second time, unlike the cat who sees her as another child
You should 100% cover The Tubbyland Archives/Five Nights at Tubbyland.
The game's lore goes surprisingly deep and is currently being rebooted in the form of The Tubbyland Archives series.
IMO it's one of the founding fathers of FNAF fangames alongside Candy's.
37:34 41:32 props to this dude for the narration. Genuinely gave me chills.
25:04 shows giga Chad old candy beating the shit out of terrible people
Watching this while ancient debris mining and netherack mining on Minecraft was, very enjoyable. Your tone as calming and fun to listen to. And also a great way to remind me of one of my favorite fnaf fan games.
Keep it up :>
Do you use blast mining techniques or just strip mine?
I'm envious! I haven't played Minecraft for a while now; not because I don't want to, but because my latest job is super busy, but! One day, I shall return!
Good luck with your mining!
I just started doing a gameplay of it, and it’s my favorite fan game. I haven’t watched gameplay of it in a very long time so I forgot how good it was, glad people are starting to make videos on the game again since the game felt dead for the last couple years
I love the animation on rat for fnac 3, the way his head tilts is so creepy, and the way he moves to dodge the light is so stiff and unlifelike it just looks so cool and is really intimidating when playing it
this is the first time seeing any of this and i agree, it’s so freaky it scares me, while im sitting in a lit room.
Fun fact: The error code at 8:34 is also a hex code for light purple. No idea what that means or even if it was intentional, though it is worth noting it is the same color as Cindy.
I keep forgetting that since Mary was a child in the early 60s, she'd only be in her thirties by the time the first game takes place
The really did an amazing job with the story. My favorite one being 3 simply for all the symbolism and subtle story telling to create mystery and a deep story. One of the best parts for me is that this game explains the reasons for each night happening, something that some fan games struggle with it’s coming up with a realistic reason as to why the main character willingly goes back to a place where they can get killed 5 times but in this game they took a really creative approach of each night taking Place in Mary’s mind and it’s a visual representation of her trying to overcome her fear and after each night it’s safe to assume she opened more to her therapist after each night and she’s starting to remember more by more furniture appearing in the minigame before you start a night. It’s subtle and creative and very well written.
It’s not terribly important to the overall story, but I have a few things to add.
I don’t remember what he says exactly, but the “hater kid” foreshadows the death of the Cat! He mentions how he can see some part of the costume which allows the actor to breathe but which also breaks the illusion. That is how the Puppeteer is able to strangle the actor despite being inside of his suit- he messed with that part of the suit, cutting off his airflow. The actor can’t reach the back of his own suit in time to fix it and dies.
There’s another ending in the third game, though it’s not significant to the overall storyline since it doesn’t seem to be the canon end. If you knock over the origami cat in every night by clicking on them, they are upset by this, and ask you to stop. Eventually, they turn against you. The cat represented Mary’s last memories of her mother, and by rejecting them, they become a nightmare. Instead of celebrating the time she had with her mother and representing the good, the cat came to remind her of the loss of her mother, and it haunted her.
I always thought the monster origami cat was creepy in how it still devotes itself to protecting Mary, but this time in a twisted way… by refusing to let her sleep, she can’t be haunted by other nightmares.
I like how in Candy’s 3, the traumatic event isn’t the murder of a child or some kind of freak accident, but an actual plausible crime between adults, it makes it all feel much more real than if it were one of the prior things. Obviously seeing anyone die for any reason is always going to be traumatic but to see grownups, figures of trust and authority in a kids eyes, attacking and murdering one another for reasons they can’t understand is definitely going to be devastating to witness.
I love learning about FNAF fangame lore, thank you for the clear summary
Correction: Old Candy and RAT make a subtle droning sound when they're at the door in FNaC 1, so you only really need the night vision for Blank
Oh, and some good headphones
These games were so great. It's nice to see that they are now technically official FNAF spin-off games now.
They're not canon to the games, but they are an alternate continuity, like the book saga.
dude how in the hell do you keep making such awesome videos in such little time
What a great story. Not for the characters but for people looking for an interesting story.
I swear I use to think Candys was related to Fnaf when I was younger 😭
If only XD
well
now it is
You know FNAC and Popgoes could become Canon or Semi-Canon to FNAF with some proper adjustments like Simon Fitzgerald being a person who was inspired by Henry and William to make his own restaurant and But that's just my opinion tho and I did say semi-canon which means not fully canon and least they could make it canon to FNAF 1-6 Imo
This video kinda made me have an epiphany. The Rat is probably my favorite fan game animatronic design ever. Monster Rat as well. It’s just incredible how well it works. It perfectly captures that horrifically uncanny feeling that all the best animatronic designs give off.
I only now noticed this but The Rat and Cat in the minigames act very similar to the actors. The Rat destroys Chester, despite him not doing anything wrong, he does it just because he can, this is similar to how The Rat's Actor shows up to work drunk and tries to choke out The Puppeteer. Not because they did anything wrong, he just did it because he can. This is the same for The Cat too! The Cat's Actor sees the situation and tries to fix the problem and do the right thing, while The Cat sees a father abusing his child and fixes the problem in his own messed up way, doing what he sees as "the right thing".
I’ve watched a lot of FNAC videos but your video definitely stands out. I can tell you put a lot of work and time into this. Keep it up.
I remember that if you found all of the secrets in Fnac 3, there was a teaser for a horror game called "Project Opia" he was working on that wasn't fnaf related.
I wonder what happened to it...
I think it put on hold for now
How didn't they catch the Puppeteer that fast? He just disappeared from the theater after calling the police after his murders and went on to make a movie about him being a psycho. That's just very sus.
I like the fact that the phone guy isnt that serious about his job. He talks to you like a friend
I’ve heard about this game about 7-8 years ago when I was an avid Fnaf fan. Thanks for bringing me up to speed as a fan. I didn’t even know this game was that interesting and thought out!
Great video, new sub 💜
AMAZING video!! Love that someone went and sorted this all out for those who might not know about the games! Or even for the enjoyment of the veteran fan base (FNaC 4 will be here someday right guys 😁)! Definite sub, and, Minaxa, thank you for the awesome video, you deserve to be way more popular!
when people called fnac overrated it made me sad 😭 fnac has a special place in my heart its equally just as important as fnaf for me
I feel like it’s worth noting that you really don’t need to use the cameras for rat and old candy because as long as you are wearing headphones they have a sound cue that lets you know which door they are at.
I kinda really hope that FNAC 4 takes place at the original Rat and Cat Theater location with just The Cat, The Rat, and Vinny as the only animatronic enemies. It would make for a really awesome experience to play a more traditional Candy’s 1 style game with the more vintage Candy’s 3 aesthetic.
I’ve seen the teasers, I know that’s probably not the direction they’re going with it. I just think it would be cool.
26:35 WAS THAT THE HIGH 5 OF 87?!
:0000
almost a decade a go i played this game on my grandpas old windows 7 desktop with my cousins at his lakehouse. ill never forget those memories. i was so much younger, back then i never would have imagined that five nights at candys, let along fnaf in general would still be relevant today.
im happy to see these games talked about again because out of all the fangames theyre some of the few that stand out the most to me. fnac 3 in particular is one of my favorite fnaf fangames partly because of nostalgia, but also because its a damn good game, on top of the story just within specifically fnac 3, it gave 12 year old me a real challenge i struggled a lot with vinny on my first playthrough and im not sure if i ever beat shadow rat
What an amazing video analysis! I loved watching Mark play Candy’s, this game is really well made and the lore is so interesting, especially in FnaC 3. You did forget the detail about the origami cat though- there’s a secret ending that happens if you click on it every night of gameplay (at least that’s what I remember. The method might’ve been different). It’s pretty cool, and is almost like a bad ending.
Yeah! And in the dream scape every night you can find a toy and ask it the question "where is he" (im pretty sure) to receive a cryptic mission, for another secret ending
Fun fact: In FNAC 1 when you are in the office you can hear music sometimes. That music is Prelude in E minor performed by Fryderyk Chopin- Polish composer
Okay! So I really enjoyed this video about FNaC!!! I'm a huge fan of it and I'm also looking forward to the fourth game (and FNAC FUR). Btw, The origin part at the beginning was very interesting! Good Job!!!
This was an amazing lore video! It really got me into FNAC, before I did not really know much about it or that it was this developed and basically five nights at freddys itself. I just wonder how the creator was able to connect the dots with the phone call to the sequel without knowing he was going to make one at the time. What amazing talent.
You put a lot of effort in your content and they all are well written. I hope your channel takes off 👍
Wow, you did this in less than 2 weeks (as minimum, because of the last stream). Good job! :)
He could've been doing it before the stream.
@@TerranosaurRex Mhm, maybe, but I think that it happend after because of the sponsor, he said he didn't like them. Well, just a thougth.
Awesome video! Thank you so much for fleshing out the lore! Though a few things still are left unaccounted for. Like if the theater animatronics are possessed by their actors, and we can only assume the twins possessed Candy and Cindy. Who’s possessing Blank, Chester, the Penguin, and Old Candy. Six people were murdered, the other four weren’t revealed, though maybe the other four weren’t important who knows. Hopefully we get those answers in 4! Awesome game!
Thank you for covering this series! The lore never really stuck with me because my exposure to it was limited to irregular Let's Play videos a *long* time ago. But here, condensed into a single video, I can finally see that this is seriously one of the best stories that came out of the FNAF fan game scene! It is genuinely impressive how far Emil advanced from the first game and what interesting spins he brought to the formula.
I've never played a FNAC game, but one of my favorite GTLive playthroughs is their 100% run of FNAC3. A lot of great memories of that series watching the footage here, especially picturing their voices during the final cutscenes and remembering how they cheesed the last night by staring at a corner the whole time so Vinnie would never activate.
the story of this fan series is certainly impressive.
Five nights at Candy’s has always been my favorite, back in 2017 when I got into FNaF i remember seeing this fan game and just falling in love with it (probably because of my love for cats) I’d watch every video about it that would come my way. (Even made fan art on MS Paint, starting my hobby and possible future career as an artist/illustrator) I’ve fallen off the fandom for a bit, and picked it back on with FNAF Pizzaria Simulator and Security Breach
What I’m trying to say is that this video reminded me of how much I love FNaC and I’m really looking forward to the new stuff. Really an amazing video, thank you.
This was an amazing video, you should do more of this with other fangames like the Popgoes series (including pre rebot), TJOC etc. This was great.
Your videos are really well made and enjoyable. Keep up the good work
couldn't the puppeteer have just said it was self defense since the rat guy was strangling him?
They'd think he's lying and that he murdered him by pushing him to the table.
I love the casual camera glitch at 23:20 I got the glitch where you don’t die after getting jump scared multiple times
i figured this out in a stream i did, the rat and cat actually make very very faint sounds when at your door and it saved me so much power on nights 5 and 6
I really can't wait for the fnaw video. I imagine the video length would be the triple amount of this videos lol
Unfortunately, that video is probably not happening. For the reason that it is not that interesting to me and it is way too long for me to force myself to make a video on it.
@@minaxa That's a shame. But I hope you can probably find better topics that you would like to cover. Never force anything on yourself.
The RAT is easily the most ominous and deranged fan animatronic. I still think that Bon from WF is creepier and more disturbing, but I love how the games make absolutely sure that the RAT is to be feared. Just a concept of a child-friendly, beloved mascot on the level of Spongebob or Mickey being essentially a serial killer in robot skin is incredibly twisted. People mauled as if it was a bear, animatronics ripped limb from limb, children shoved into endoskeletons. Nobody is safe from the RAT
RAT is like Springtrap
Great to see you putting Ryan out there, cause honestly... I know hes a pretty big channel with more then a milion subscribers,but I always thought that he was kinda unknown throughout the community, especially since I barely hear anybody talk about him.
This is so awesome you made a video about my favorite fnaf fan game of all time! I’m so happy!
Let's fucking goooo! Almost hour long video from Minaxa!
The remake of Five nights at candy's is awesome especially when blank breaks the window
Really cool video! I didn’t know anything abt FNAC, I just thought of it as “oh it’s another fnaf clone” (not in a bad way though), but I had no idea it was this fleshed out! The creator really put a lot of effort and love into this!
Also unrelated but when I was little I hit myself with the sharp edge of the window sill in the *head* instead of the neck, and yeah, it’s pretty damn accurate! I was very young so I don’t remember much (not like I would either way, I was out cold) but yea my head bled a lot, but I was fine in the end, i have a cool battle scar from it now >:]
