Title: Five Nights at Freddy's: Chuck E. Cheese nocturnal surveilance simulator
Post by: TempAcc on August 20, 2014, 10:43:14 am

Soooooo, you guys probably already know of this game, since it became hugely popular after its release some time ago, but it has yet to get its own thread here, so here it is.

Five Nights at Freddy's is a point and click resource management survival horror game. The premise is that you got a job as a night watchman at Freddy's, a chuck e cheese style junk food and games center thats been on decline and will close at the end of the year for several reasons, the main one being that the iconic animatronic characters that are hugely popular among kids have been acting... Odd for quite a while now, as in they start roaming around at night and do terrible things with anyone they find that isn't one of them.

As the sole guard watching the place during the night, your job is to sit in your special surveilance room and monitor the cuddly animal people through a system consisting of several cameras and two lights outside each of the entrances to your room, which you must manualy activate and deactivate. But dont worry, each entrance is equipped with an electronic steel reinforced door that will close at a button's push. The problem is, you have a limited power supply each night, and using each of your devices (cameras, lights and doors that somehow consume energy by being closed but not while open) will cause your constantly depleting electricity to deplete even faster, and you dont want to run out of power in a night at Freddy's. Really.
You have to work (read: survive) for five days to get your meager paychek by getting to 6 AM every day.

So yea, like I said before, the characters (at least most of them) will roam around at night, going through the several rooms at different paces. Each of them has a different behavior, and that behavior will change as the week goes on. Each night you will be greeted by a phone recording of a previous watchman, giving you instructions regarding your job and suggestions on how to proceed. Some of his advices are valuable, others not so much, so its up to you wether to trust him or not. The game has a backstory to it, but you have to find it out for yourself by picking at the scraps of info the game gives you, all while trying to not meet your cuddly night companions.

This game is very interesting in the way it transmits horror to the player. You have a completely passive role, while the things that are out to get you are the ones that actualy go to places and do things, which is refreshing take on horror games of late, that usualy make (or force) you to perform certain actions and go to different places. The game is very simple, yet has a a richness in detail to it, in both gameplay and presentation. You really do have to think about what you're doing and how the characters are behaving to survive, and as the game progresses the game starts changing things up to keep you on your toes. There's no "artificial difficulty" here, just the game changing the mechanics and frequency of things to make you think and try to counter them.

It does, however, use jump scares whenever you lose, however, this is not the reason this game is scary. The frantic surveilance and resource management, all while trying to find out where the hell each character is and how close they are is what creates tension and fear in the player. After a while you'll not care for the jump scares, but the tension will still get you, the atmosphere is really well done.

So anyway, I'll post more info some tips later, under spoilers to not ruin anyone's fun.

The game is currently avaliable on steam through steam greenlight (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=270684111) and desura (http://www.desura.com/games/five-nights-at-freddys).

Huh. So this popped up on Steam just as I logged in few minutes ago. Was wondering what's the deal with it because I couldn't quite decide where to place it. Low price and screenshots made me think this is some cheap survival horror wannabe and I didn't bother to read the actual description. I was in the wrong it seems. Thanks for this topic, it sounds really interesting, might wanna keep an eye on it.

I wasn't expecting much out of it either, I got a desura copy and played with it for a bit, and it felt oddly addictive. Its hard to pay attention to things while you're tense trying to watch the characters roaming around, but there's a surprising amount of detail to it. There are sound cues for different characters while they do different things, but it subtle and hard to catch most of the time. This makes you play the game with headphones, which also make you more vulnerable to the jumpscares, but its either that or risk missing the sound cues.

Ehhh Jump Scares are still scary, no matter what people say. The fact that they exist in the game creates extra tension not to see one.

I can deal with almost any type of horror except jump scares. Because I hate hate hate hate hate being startled. When something startles me like that, it makes me extremely paranoid and jump at everything and my heart rate spikes and it's terrible feeling. So looks neat, but nopenopenopenope.

I also hate jumpscares. I have seen so many that I'm desensitized to them. When the bunny dude screamed in my face, I didn't even flinch very much, just became deaf for a few seconds because I like full volume. Although the scariest part of this game is the atmosphere and going "ERMAHGERD WHERE DID HE GO". 9 outta 10 for this game.

Going to post some info and tips on the different characters and their behavior as the week progresses. Whoever hasn't played the game yet should prob not read any of it because it might spoil a few surprises.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

First, I want to make it clear that you shouldn't take whatever info you read here as infallible. There is an element of randomness to the characters and their behavior, and literally anything can happen sometimes, but 9 times out of 10, this is how they will behave.

First, the dynamic duo (because these two seem to sort of work togheder at times): Bonnie and Chica.
Bonnie: (http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140820045519/five-nights-at-freddys/images/thumb/c/c8/555.png/800px-555.png)

Bonnie the rabbit is the most active character from day one. Bonnie likes to move around a lot and is usualy the first to try and get to you, moving through the rooms and sometimes tampering with the cameras. When bonnie gets to your door, it seems he's that gives you the most time to close your door, and even though he will probably visit you more then once, once he does get there and you lock him out, he doesnt (usualy) stay there for very long.
In the second part of the week, Bonnie gets a weird special ability: he can teleport. As in, Bonnie can be at one room and then suddenly vanish and show up at another room thats not immediately connected to the former, making him a constant threat, since its possible for him to literally teleport from across the building DIRECTLY TO YOUR DOOR. Bonnie does have a certain predictability to him though, since he will always try to get in from the left entrance, and for this and other reasons I'll mention below, you should pay more attention to your left door.
Bonnie also emits a sound when he's teleporting. If you hear a faint distorted voice going "dum de dum", that means Bonnie has probably teleported.
Bonnie will SOMETIMES disable your lights and door buttons. If this happens, it basically means Bonnie is already inside your room and is just waiting for you to stop looking at the camera monitor to attack you, so if your buttons suddenly stop working, you already lost.
 
(http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140817080756/villains/images/9/97/Tumblr_inline_naa9k3aWuf1rnc6dz.gif)
Chica the duck (or hen, depending on interpretation) is fairly different from Bonnie. After Bonnie, she's the one that moves around the most during the first half of the week, altough she's a fair bit more "furtive" then bonnie. Chica has an habit of moving, getting to a room and just sort of sitting there, staring at camera, and giving you a sense of safety by not moving for a while, and then moving when you least expect it. She doesnt get to your door as often (in the first days she might not even attempt to) but when she does, she stares directly at you menacingly from the window.
Chica is the only Character that tries to get to you from the right entrance (apart from Freddy in later nights). If you manage to lock her out, you can check if she's still there by using the light and seeing her through the right window. While she doesnt get to your door as often as bonnie, and doesnt seem to have a special hability, she gives you less time to react and close the door on her, and if you manage to lock her out, she will stay there staring at you for a while longer then bonnie, meaning you're going to waste more power.
Chica likes to sneak into your office, like Bonnie sometimes does, disable your buttons and wait till you put the camera monitor screen down to attack you. When she does this, you will hear a faint/distorted "pained breathing" sound while looking at the cameras. If this happens, you already lost.
Chica also seems to like to move through the kitchen (the one room that has no video feed, just audio), so if you hear pans rattling and falling down, someone is crossing the kitchen, and its most likely chica. At times, she and bonnie will get to your door at the same time, meaning you will have to waste a lot of power locking both doors down and waiting for them to go away.
Strangely, chica has a second set of teeth in the back of her mouth. This is never explained, altough it is implied to be the teeth of a guard or a child that got stuffed into her costume.

Now for the less common but more dangerous threats: Foxy and Freddy.

(http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140813101146/villains/images/d/dd/Pirate2.jpg)
Foxy the Fox is quite a bit different from every other character. When you get to night 2, the phone guy will tell you to keep an eye on the "pirate cove" which is the room with curtains and an "out of order" sign in front of it, that serves as foxy's hideout. Foxy apparently doesnt like to be watched, so in the first nights, you probably wont even see him. You see, Foxy doesnt move around, he just stays behind the curtains in the pirate cove. If you periodically check the pirate cove during the first nights, he wont come out. However, if you check it too much or too few times, foxy will start to come out of his hideout. First you will see his glowing eyes and toothy maw peeking from between the curtains, and later, if he is really comming out, you will find him standing in front of the curtains, in an almost horizontal position, staring at you with his glowing eyes, which are the only things you can see clearly.
After a while, you might look at the pirate cove room and notice he's gone, when this happens, DO NOT LOOK AT ANY OTHER ROOM, just put the monitor down and lock your left door. You see, foxy doesnt roam around, he fucking RUNS STRAIGHT TOWARDS YOU. In fact, if you look at the left corridor camera after he's gone, you will catch him running toward you faster at sonic the hedgehog speed. If you see this, you have just a few split seconds to close your door before he gets you. 
Unlike other characters, foxy doesnt jump directly at your face and scream, like the other characters, instead he just pops from the left entrance and stares at you, toothy maw open.
The problem with foxy, however, is that even if you manage to lock him out, he will bang on the doors (foxy is the only character that will do so). While he cant break the door down, somehow banging on the door drains your power VERY FAST, meaning Foxy is a huge threat even if he's much more predictable then the other characters. If foxy gets out from pirate cove, you'll probably lose, either due to him getting you or loss of power, so remember to watch those curtains ocasionaly.
Foxy becomes even more dangerous in later nights, because just looking at his camera a few times may cause him to come out completely. And dont you even try to ignore pirate cove, this will just cause him to come out when you least expect and get you.
Foxy's sound cue is the frantic running sound he makes when he's getting close. After hearing this you barely have a second to close your door. He always tries to get to you through the left entrance.
Foxy also seems to show up quite a bit in the backstory. He's supposedly the character responsible for the "bite of 1987", in which he bit someone's frontal lobe off. Thats apparently the reason why he appears to be damaged and pirate cove is out of order.

I'll post about freddy later since he's the most complex one.

Why is it that so many games are making "People who are given too little resources to do their job" a thing?

What next a game where you are a cop but you are only given 6 bullets?

I think it's because companies are really happy to cut corners to the point of endangering their employees. This game's aspect is just making that a little more supernatural/horror-based.

I had a thought like that running in my head just a moment ago.

I am distracted by one of them; seal them out. I watch them walk away as I hear another one marching to the other door; seal them out. I watch them walk away as well. I open the doors after I hear them leave and am immediately greeted by one last one that used the first guy as a distraction (primarily the noise of them charging to my door, and marching in-step with it to hide their steps) to get into a blind spot in the security camera and window, and even doorway (while paying attention to the first guy leaving) in the opposite hallway, and used my sense of security of watching the second one leaving (through the window of the same hallway he was hiding in; blind spot, remember?) to their advantage, and struck as soon as I reopen the doors to conserve power, and semi-confidently keep tabs on them... or so I thought.

Mind you, I have yet to play (or buy) the damn game, and I'm already paranoid of such tactics (if not used at all, mod it in, or tell the maker of the game to add it in). This is my pessimism operating normally, BTW. I look forward to playing this game. I've been desensitized to horror, and this might help spark some of that back into action and a regained feeling. If nothing, at least I came up with a pretty frightening tactic anyone can use (for pranks and Halloween only, please). Seeing some footage reminded me of the classic point and click adventure games that had jump scares like that here and there, and terrified a far younger me (back in the single-digit era (ahh... 90's Adventure games... (http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/images/10/oct/sq.jpg))).

As far as I can tell only the pirate one actually visibly moves.  The rest just kind of move around while you're not looking.

It's not very scary.  The atmosphere is kind of creepy and there's a couple mild jump scares but aside from that, not scary.  There's been a huge glut of painfully unscary indie games lately.

Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's: Chuck E. Cheese nocturnal surveilance simulator
Post by: Sonlirain on August 23, 2014, 09:53:10 am

Actually i found it pretty goddamn scary.
Sure jumpscares are cheap but the atmosphere is actually pretty damn tense as you try to keep watch on all of those damn mascots converging on you while taking glances on freddy and fox in case they move.

Personally however i'd like to see this game getting built upwards.
So for example instead of having a limited ammount of electricity and doors that consume it have severa doors and various "important bits" sprinkled all over the restaurant. however you can''t keep everything locked (fire safety resons?) at all times meaning you have to keep watch on several roaming mascots that slowly make their way to you through several rooms.
On top of that there would be special "electronics" rooms that hold hardware that runs the roor mechanisms, cameras ETC.
The security room should be far more secure allowing to lock both doors... but leaving the mascots free to roam the place sabotaging equipement... or standing there banging at your door possibly breaking it down with enough time or if a sufficien # of them pile up.

Right now the game usually boils down to several points.

1 - frantic checking when the mascots move and where they are.
2 - realizing they are right under your office.
3 - frantic checking the lights on both sides checking for chicca and bunny (closing the door as needed) while keeping an eye if foxxie/freddy moved.
4 - continue untill you win or foxxie/freddy moves,
5 - if they started moving and its not 5 am then you lost.

You get desensitized to this really quick. I'm really fucking easy to scare, and this game did plant the seeds of "haha no sleep okay thanks" for a night or two, but then I just worked out the patterns and the mechanics and it was about as scary as pudding.
but fuck that fox
I don't care how silly his running is, when you see him running, pull down the camera a split-second too late and see him pop through the door like "HEY MOTHERFUCKER"

Watched Markiplier play it, didn't even play it myself, but holy balls, when I saw that fox sprinting down the hallway on camera I flipped a shit and no mistake.

They could have made the game a lot better if they'd incorporated a change in the puppets' behavior from day to day, though.
Also, they really need to encourage keeping your camera on every single puppet, because after a while you realize that checking the location of each puppet is not important; all you actually need to do is watch your blind spots and occasionally check the cove. If you see a creepy face staring in, close the door. If you see the fox come out and start sprinting, close the door. That's really all there is to it.

tl;dr It's a great concept and has some great scares, but it definitely could have been made better and more replayable.

Personally, this game keeps reminding me of "Bloaty's Pizza Hog".


I am simultaneously impressed and disappointed in the games use of pre-rendered areas. On the one hand it's not something you see done often, especially in the slightly panoramic manner here and it really allows a lot of control over the players focus at any given time.
On the other hand, the panning does warp the image slightly and it means that screen shots of the game kind of detract from the end experience because everyone witnesses the same events (though certainly in different orders). Maybe more variation in scenes?

Well for one it intentionally gets the animatronics incorrect for the sake of horror... So they are quite literally corpses.

Bought this game during my brother's party last night, much fun was had. Friends were traumatized.

Been watching other people play it on youtube, their screams are hilarious, but I'm having a hard time playing it. Too much waiting around for shit to happen. On the other hand, I'm a bit apprehensive about crossing the house to me bedroom now.

This game touches all of my nope buttons (crushing/squeezing, helpless in the dark/power outage, animal animatronics, abandoned/closed places). I've only read about the game and watched one video, and I'm already terrified. Its one of those things where I would wuss out five minutes in.

I watched yesterday's Steam Train episode at like 1am, and I literally had to work up to leaving the room.

I do mean to try it, though. Is it still free, or does it cost now?

I am simultaneously impressed and disappointed in the games use of pre-rendered areas. On the one hand it's not something you see done often, especially in the slightly panoramic manner here and it really allows a lot of control over the players focus at any given time.
On the other hand, the panning does warp the image slightly and it means that screen shots of the game kind of detract from the end experience because everyone witnesses the same events (though certainly in different orders). Maybe more variation in scenes?

I think some details randomly change and at least one change can affect the game.

TBH though, I really do like the early-CG, early 2000's style art. It's very appropriate for a tacky pizza joint going out of business.

So some friends and I put this up on a decently sized television and played. It probably is a good idea to make sure my laptop is on a solid surface. My friend slammed the laptop lid and ran across the room, almost pulling the television over and nearly dropping the computer. On night two.

Once Freddy and Foxy start moving, I just have to cry. I finished night four but I'm too afraid to move on D:

This one almost killed me IRL. So, after putting a measly 83 minutes into the game before giving up on it, I decided to play Five Nights At Freddy's again. In the car, that is, to pass the time on the way to family vacation for labor day weekend. So here I am, laptop in the car, playing the game. I've never screamed at a game before (except maybe in rage). Not even this one. But this is the first time I'd played it with headphones on. Second night, watching diligently for the bunny that always kill me, I suddenly think "where's the duck?" and start flipping through cameras, and sure enough I put them down and the duck's right there in the room. I scream, my dad curses and nearly loses control of the car on the freeway, causing everyone else to curse. Lesson learned, don't play FN@F in the car.

I'm guessing listening for them coming without checking the cameras, except to see which one is headed for you (whoever's missing/how many), is not a viable/broken tactic? I mean, it would be cheap on the power levels.

Haven't played the game, and I guess I can beat it then.

If you check the lights, always close the right door before you bring up the camera and keep an eye on foxy, you're good for any day or difficulty. But on 4/20 mode you can still possibly lose anyway thanks to RNG fuckery giving you an impossible situation.

This also raises the question of why does Freddy's even need a security guard in the first place? Couldn't they just lock the doors at night and let the animatronics unwittingly defend the place from burglars through righteous murder?

Yeah, the idea people have been getting is that a guy in a mascot suit killed those kids. The thing is those suits and such were in somewhat secure storage, so it's assumed a security guard, with the appropriate access, committed the crime.

Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's: Chuck E. Cheese nocturnal surveilance simulator
Post by: TempAcc on September 05, 2014, 08:20:48 pm

Yea the tips the game gives you point out that a man passing for a security officer or an actual security guard lured the children and killed them, subsequently stuffing their bodies in the animatronic suits. The scream the enemies make when they catch you are based on an actual child's screen.

Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's: Chuck E. Cheese nocturnal surveilance simulator
Post by: WillowLuman on September 06, 2014, 02:27:53 am

Nothing in the game indicates that it was a security guard, just that it was a man. That it was a security guard is just a popular theory, given that it explains stuff. Another is that the guy arrested was someone framed by the owners to cover Freddy himself murdering 5 kids.

Want the game for cheap? Indiegala has it up for sale. Got my own copy.

If it's anything like Amnesia (Shock value/scares), I'll be mocking the game during my many deaths, while I laugh hysterically at the playthroughs of others losing it at the jump scares (like in the video provided. Even then I wasn't surprised; my ears were ringing, but I was too busy laughing to be shocked. Paranoia would scare me more than the actual scares.). I grew up in the 90s, jump scares were a regular thing in my days. I'm a veteran at this stuff. Keeping track of these bastards is my main worry.

What I noticed in the videos was that these things are like the Weeping Angels/SCP-173. They only move when not observed.

Ok so from what i hear the new animotronics don't atack you.
The old ones do.

How here's the thing.

Since there are no doors you have to put on the mask so that the old ones don't kill you.
HOWEVER
The new ones will kill you if they see you wearing the mask.

It would be NICE if they put some actual doors instead of removing the only doors you had leaving you in the focal point of 3 hallways (well one hallway and 2 vents but they work as a hallway fro all intents and purpouses).

What happens if both old and new are seeing you at the same time. Now what? Why can't they equip you with something to fight back with? Like an EMP?

Are you telling me you've never worked at an Umbrella facility?

Anyway, I'm going to guess that the returning mascots are

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

still possessed by the spirits of five murdered children

and the new mascots are either

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

possessed by the spirits of security guards that got SKREEEEE'd.
OR
actual robots that are programmed to attack the original mascots if they are seen in the security office/walking about.

Either of those would explain why they only attack you when you're wearing the mask.

Kind of strange having the new ones work like that. Granted, without it then there would be no reason not to take the mask off at all and the whole thing would be pointless, right? Seems like they removed a mechanic (the doors) and replaced it with another that is pretty much an excuse to justify adding in the new ones in. Doesn't seem that necessary, to be honest.

Correct.

There are four minigames.

Spoiler: 1 (click to show/hide)

You are Freddy, pursuing the marionette. Doing so will lead you to a room full of corpses or something (I've never seen anybody actually following it all the way), and it ends. It also ends if you encounter G.Freddy.

The synthesized voice spells out SAVETHEM.

Spoiler: 2 (click to show/hide)

You are the marionette, giving presents to dead children. Then you put the heads of Freddy&Co on them. Then G.Freddy kills you.

The voice spells out HELPTHEM

Spoiler: 3 (click to show/hide)

You are Freddy bringing cake to some kids. Eventually, a car arrives, the purple man climbs out, and kills a kid. Then the marionette kills you.

The voice spells out SAVEHIM

Spoiler: 4 (click to show/hide)

You are Foxy. Get ready, then leave onto the stage. Yay! Happy children!
Do it again. No change.
Now the purple man is with you in the room. Going outside shows you that the kids are all dead now. Then Foxy kills you.

So I'm counting no less than 15 animatronics.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

• Freddy
• Bonnie
• Chica
• Foxy
• G. Freddy
• T. Freddy
• T. Bonnie
• T. Chica
• The Mangle
• BB
• The Marionette
• The Endoskeleton
• Shadow Bonnie
• Shadow Freddie
• Table BB (although that might just be regular BB with his eyes swapped out)

Have I forgotten any so far?

I think table BB is just how BB appears when he enters your room and disables your lights. Have yet to see this shadow bonnie and shadow freddie tho

Its heavily hinted the purple man was the one who killed the children, but his connections with the puppet, which also supposedly killed the 4 children who currently possess the original animatronics, remain completely obscure, and his motives as well. It seems the whole theory of the fazbear pizza owners being evil went down the drain, since in the first day, phone guy is completely oblivious to how dangerous the animatronics are. Altough phone guy could just be another employee.

Post by: itisnotlogical on November 15, 2014, 10:16:22 am

I have a stupidly complicated theory about the Purple Man. I'll just copypasta it from the FNAF wikia's forum, where I originally posted it.

Spoiler: Speculation, wall o' text, massive assumptions, holes galore (click to show/hide)

I have a theory: Fritz Smith is the killer behind the Missing Children incident, and the Purple Man is the killer. For this to work, I assume: Fritz was a daytime employee, Phone Guy covered the player's shift on night 7, which was not a Custom Night, and the Custom Night never happened in-universe.

At the beginning of this theory, we have the "give cake" minigame. The important part is that The Purple Man (Fritz Smith) kills a child, outside of the restaurant.

Then, in the minigame where Freddy chases the puppet, Fritz/Purple Man sometimes makes an appearance, chasing Freddy and ending the game if Freddy is caught. The game ends with a blue screen, as if Freddy crashed like a blue-screened computer; this depicts the incident Fritz was fired for, tampering with the equipment by modifying the Golden Freddy animatronic to create a wearable suit. Golden Freddy is moved to the back room for future repair.

Phone Guy's call on night 3 mentions a "local story" that has "nothing to do with our establishment". He's talking about the murder in the cake minigame, in which Fritz is now a person of interest.

On night 4, Phone Guy mentions that the animatronics are behaving strangely around adults during the day. The minigame that depicts the Purple Man capturing Freddy probably took place during the day prior to night 4, because Fritz only worked one day according to his pink slip. The animatronics were staring at "adult staff"; likely, they were keeping an eye on Fritz because he was now a suspect in the cake murder, which they knew because they are tied to criminal databases. This could have to do with why Fritz modified/destroyed Golden Freddy.

On night 5, Phone Guy mentions that the building is on lockdown, especially concerning "former employees" (Fritz) and that there is an investigation going on (the cake murder).

On night 6, the story ends: Fritz uses the golden Freddy Fazbear suit that he was fired for creating as a disguise to kill four children, which went on to haunt Foxy, Bonnie, Chica and normal Freddy; the killer himself inhabits Golden Freddy in the original game.

So, from beginning to end, we have:

Fritz kills a child prior to working at Freddy's. The day of night 4, Fritz works his only day and is fired for turning the Golden Freddy animatronic into a wearable suit. On night 5, Fritz has gone from suspect to wanted criminal, and the pizzeria becomes related to the case, thus the lockdown and the warning about previous employees. Prior to night 6, the strange goings-on during the player's shift have been mundane software glitches. The day of night 6, the murder takes place: Fritz uses his Golden Freddy suit to kill a number of children, prompting the closure of the restaurant and beginning the haunting of the animatronics. This also explains their extreme aggression on night 6 and the sudden introduction of Golden Freddy.

This theory has its own holes (it doesn't explain GIVE LIFE and leaves a number of questions about the Puppet's behavior), but I think it adds more than it takes away, mostly by giving an identity to the Purple Man.

Thoughts?

That theory hinges on the pink slip not being for the custom night, which just doesn't make sense in context.

But the Custom Night itself doesn't really make sense either; with Fritz supposedly being a newbie who wouldn't even know that the mascots are dangerous, how would he be able to tamper with them without getting killed? Mike Shmidt had been working with the animatronics for a week, so at least he would have had some idea about how they worked; unless Fritz is secretly a roboticist there's no way he could have created the Custom Night, unless both he and the Custom Night never existed in the first place.

Mike sat in a room watching a monitor and pushing buttons for a week. An engineer, he is not. So from a Watsonian standpoint, reprogramming the animatronics is rather easy.

Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's: Chuck E. Cheese nocturnal surveilance simulator
Post by: itisnotlogical on November 15, 2014, 10:56:28 am

But that raises the question of why, if there is a big switchboard in the security office labelled "AI Control do not touch", nobody ever thought to set them all to 0 and just eat pies until 6 AM. But fanon says Mike is doing it for the thrill, so it makes sense that he'd come up with 4/20 mode and get fired or even killed over it. I always thought that to tamper with the animatronics, Mike would have to actually get within murdering distance of them in order to reprogram them individually.

I've never thought of it that way; I suppose Fritz probably was just a throwaway name so that the FNAF2 protagonist could work the day shift. I do still think the Purple Man is the killer behind the missing children incident, though.

That is indeed what the minigame implies. Another theory is that Jeremy is the killer, but I think that's because killer=guard, Jeremy=guard, ergo Jeremy=killer.

Post by: itisnotlogical on November 15, 2014, 11:08:19 am

I've also heard theories that the puppet is the killer, and was haunted before the events of either game. I personally think the puppet is completely unrelated to the Freddy's animatronics, since it has no endoskeleton and doesn't look anything like the others; even Balloon Boy has some similarities to the 2.0 series.

I haven't heard any theories/interpretations about the cutscenes between nights yet. Those were the parts I found the most interesting and I can't make heads or tails of them; what really boggles me is that people describe Bonnie and Chica as looking worried when they're just slightly turned towards you.

Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's: Chuck E. Cheese nocturnal surveilance simulator
Post by: Darvi on November 15, 2014, 11:12:30 am

Well, it's highly unlikely that the freak did kill anybody itself, but the SAVETHEM and HELPTHEM minigames do make clear that it did... something to them. Whether it was malicious or benign is unknown, but I (and probably everybody else too) lean towards the former because fuck that thing.

Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's: Chuck E. Cheese nocturnal surveilance simulator
Post by: itisnotlogical on November 15, 2014, 11:22:41 am

So if the Puppet is haunted by somebody else or just sentient all on its own, then GIVE LIFE shows four kids haunting the animatronics, leaving somebody else to inhabit Golden Freddy in the original game. Maybe whatever was in the Puppet jumped ship to Golden Freddy after FNAF2? It'd be hard for the puppet to kill you while GF is in your office on the Sixth or Custom Nights, since both of them act so quickly, which means the puppet-entity could be switching between the two as the night went on.

It sometimes crawls into one of the vents and by doing so prevents the other, actually murderous animatronics, from reaching the office that way. Where I'm concerned, it's the player's best bro.

Oh yeah, the purple guy in the SAVETHEM minigame looks different from the one in the SAVEHIM and Foxy minigames, iirc. This may imply that they're actually two different people, but the animatronics can't tell them apart.

The guard uniform is probably purple.

Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's: Chuck E. Cheese nocturnal surveilance simulator
Post by: Blaze on November 15, 2014, 01:59:07 pm

Maybe the day-guard's uniform is purple? To help make his outfit more kid friendly?

Spoiler: Speculation (click to show/hide)

Let's theorize that the day guard was the killer, that would explain Night 5's message (No Previous Employees Lockdown and the day guard position suddenly opening). Moreover, it would also explain their "tampering" on Night 4's message: "aggressiveness towards staff" would have been caused by this. And "staring at adults" could be them attempting to match their faces to anything in their criminal databases.

The minigames could be the animatronic's versions of "trauma". They're there to protect the kids, but ultimately fail to "SAVE THEM"; which causes them to become increasingly aggressive over time as more murders occur. The puppet is the one that's haunted, and reanimates the older suits in an attempt to get more eyes out or "GIVE LIFE" to the dead children by putting their souls into the older animatronics (Hence, the GIVE GIFTS/LIFE minigame). The day-guard could be the same person in the "SAVE HIM" minigame, but wouldn't be wearing the purple suit, because he doesn't need to wear it.

Of course, this is all just speculation.

Edit: Let's take it further and say Jeremy was the victim of the "Bite of '87", as after Night 6 he took up the day position and was told he had to "Stay near the animatronics and make sure they don't hurt anyone". The animatronics would have mistaken him in the day-guard's uniform and attacked him, breaking their kid-friendly facade in their desperate attempts to protect them.

This also fits in with the Custom Night ending, Fired "First day on the Job? Really?". Jeremy would be hospitalized or in a coma, so they brought Fitz in, and he couldn't resist fooling around with the AI controls.

Re-edit: On second thought, they brought in the new guy as Jeremy was moved to day shift, so it could have just as easily been the former day-guard that got bitten. He might have come back in revenge/Psycopathy and got bitten for his troubles.

Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's: Chuck E. Cheese nocturnal surveilance simulator
Post by: Darvi on November 15, 2014, 02:09:57 pm

Yeah, it's implied that Jeremy either gets bitten or arrested for the murders. But either way Fritz takes over because Jerm took over day shift.

Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's: Chuck E. Cheese nocturnal surveilance simulator
Post by: Sonlirain on November 15, 2014, 04:59:41 pm

Ok so i guess i have to make a theory now...

Have some points in no particular order:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1 - The new animotronics are not haunted but were programmed to protect children and likely additionally compelled by the puppet (clearly magical or possesed but likely benign just percieving the player character as evil and acting accordingly).

2 - The old animotronics were magical/possesed to begin with as they come from the old family diner meaning they might have a history of their own there as well (most likely will be told in FNaF3) so there is potential here that the entire story will be turned upside down if the 4 animotronics got possesed back then and the minigame events happened at the diner (note thet there are no new animotronics there and freddy gives away cake to children instead of the more common at pizza joints pizzas).
If not then why do they have a history of being "twitchy" and still coming for you after most of their parts were used for the new animotronics.

3 - The bite of 87 was the work of one of the new animotronics since the old ones were not in use. This explains why the new ones got scrapped and old ones were repaired and had their roaming mode disabled during the day for safety reasons.

4 - The killer was obviously an adult so the puppet rigged the new animotronics to be extra sensitive and scan adults in the pizzeria more then they can process without "staring" as they search the database for positives (this was also likely the reason for the bite when they finally got a positive and were set to be hyperaggressive by the puppet that wanted to protect the childrenat all costs.

5 - The visions you get at the end of various days shows Bonnie Chika and Freddy from Freddies perspective. note that they are all whole and undamaged hinting it that the puppet tampered with them back at the diner (likely giving them life)... again far before the 4 kids got killed unless... the 4 kids might have been killed and stuffed back at the diner since phone guy remarks that the old characters smell bad.

6 - The guard was likely the killer but it's not sure who was the guard that did it since it might have happened back at the diner and the vengeful puppet just settles for killing any guard it can seeing them as evil but at the same time tries to not scare children (it likely likes kids a lot considering it's at the game corner giving away gifts) so it only attacks during the night UNLESS it thinks a child is in direct danger at the hand of a guard/adult whitch might have caused the bite of 87.

7 - The puppet is likely posessed by the kid that got killed in front of the diner and tries to help/save other kids.

Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's: Chuck E. Cheese nocturnal surveilance simulator
Post by: Darvi on November 15, 2014, 05:19:43 pm

Adding to point 3, the Mangle probably didn't cause the Bite, because then only she would have been scrapped.

Also it wouldn't surprise me if the crying kid in the Foxy minigame was the one possessing G.Freddy. One out of five being different and all that.

One out of five being different? Let me quickly cook up some zany theory connecting this to OFF.

Title: Re: Five Nights at Freddy's: Chuck E. Cheese nocturnal surveilance simulator
Post by: Sonlirain on November 15, 2014, 05:38:07 pm

Well i actually thing that kid that got killed in front of the diner in freddyies minigame was both raped and killed since it cries more after death hinting that it might be "dead inside" or had an especially traumatic death. It's soul/trauma might have possesed/gave life to the puppet that later started "saving and protecting" other children.
And guess which character cries?
Also the pile of junk animotronic was likely thrown away because it was FUBAR.

Post by: Araph on November 15, 2014, 08:56:08 pm

Here's my own little theory on FnaF...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

First and most importantly: Five Nights at Freddy's occurs chronologically before Five Nights at Freddy's 2. Why are we coming up with theories about the old murderbots getting refurbished to look exactly the same as they did while scrapping the new ones? We know Fazbear's had a grand reopening with new robots. That's good enough for me, we've got enough weird shit to try and understand without adding this to it.

Second: purple guy was (or is) a former (or current) security guard. This explains why the robots target Mike and Jeremy: they're wearing the same uniform as the other guards.

Third: the robots are good, but completely bonkers. Because Mike and Jeremy are wearing the aforementioned uniforms, they're targets for the robots trying to kill purple guy before he can kill any more kids.

Fourth: Puppet is supernatural. The original Freddy and Co. are supernatural because of Puppet's actions. The new bots are most likely influenced somehow by puppet or the original Freddy and Co.

So now we're left with a couple questions, but the one that bugs me most is where did Puppet come from? We can account for dead kids' spirits or something with the original murderbots (as seen in the minigame where you give gifts and life to the corpses as Puppet), but what's the deal with that creep?

Other questions include: Who is purple guy? What happened to Jeremy? Who was phone? Did purple guy actually wear the Golden Freddy suit? If not, who did? Who is Golden Freddy, anyway?

---

And last, without any evidence of any kind, I would just like to say that I half expect Golden Freddy to be possessed by purple guy, who is actually dead the entire time and wanted the kids to not have to ever leave such a fun place as Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria.

Foxy enters stage, finds dead children. Where do you see a bite there. Also of course Foxy is decommissioned. All the old animatronics are.

If you somehow have the idea that Foxy caused the bite then knock it out because that's entirely a fan-based assumption.

I personally assume the foxy minigame (all of the minigames actually) takes place back at the family diner where another series of murders (likely to be shown in FNAF3) took place and caused the animotronics to become possesed.
After all the minigames show them working with children giving cake, presents, jumping onto the scene ETC. All were obvious memories of times when they worked... which is not the4 case in FNAF2... meaning they had to be earlier memories.

Also bite of 87 HAD to be done by the new animotronics because they (and mangle) were the only ones working during daytime.

I had an idea for a FN@F roguelike. No cams, you wandered about with a flashlight with limited batteries. You may have several flashlights scattered about, but can only carry one at a time. The animatronics can be sent back to starting position if spotted while lit, since it would think that the store is open due to the light. However, with the light on, they have a much easier time tracking you from behind. With it off, you have very minimal sense of whats around you, perhaps dependent on movement speed setting. You'd have a good memory for where furniture and stuff is, however, the animatronics would have some ability to move it to trap you, but you can do the same. Ideally, this would be first person, like some old school dungeon crawlers. The roguelike aspects would be that you would be one security guard, attempting to get through your week of employment, and death would result in a return to day 1. Surviving, however, would give you mild perks, like better night vision, hearing, that sort of thing.

So, theory time. I don't know if you guys have heard this one already, but here it is:

Spoiler: Wacky Theories (click to show/hide)

Phone Guy worked at the original Freddy's and is the killer, and Puppet is the one who actually put the corpses in the suits. The minigame where you play as Freddy and bring cake to the kids was a flashback to the original Freddy Fazbear's pizza, back before Freddy was possessed by a dead kid. The kid who dies outside became Puppet somehow, still haven't worked that out.

This means that when Phone Guy asks Mike Schmidt to check the suits in the back room before PG gets caught, it's because he knows something is up with the kids he murdered but he doesn't actually know how the animatronics became possessed by them because he didn't hide the corpses in the suits: Puppet did.

The first game was actually the conclusion of the trilogy, and it ended for good when the animatronics caught Phone Guy.

Maybe. I don't know, it's just a theory.

But why are they still so mad? Phone Guy's recordings had to have been made at least a week prior, so even if they're still haunted they've had time to calm down a little bit before you start.

Edit because I forgot what hence means. Like a dummy.

One thing I will say I've noticed about the sequel is that it's not quite as paranoia-inducing as the first one, going more for just stress-induced fear, which fades kinda quicker. Sure, you can theoretically check on all the cameras, but since there's so many animatronics gunning for you, you don't have time to. Night 6 there's no camera checking but the puppet room.
Kinda like 4/20 mode in the first game, actually.

Watching Markiplier play it, and it's pretty terrifying. They really changed the game: only one animatronic is an actual threat, the rest are just distractions that make life more difficult for you. The game is all about keeping the one dangerous guy away from your room.

Best of all, the way the game is set up, it actually encourages you to use your cameras this time around.

The killer got in the suit, springs failed, he died, and Phone Guy probably found him.

I agree with every thing you write, it's much better than 2nd IMO.
I don't understand why fanbase seem to hate it soo much though.

I assume it's the jumpscared. in 1 and 2 jumpscares happened only when you screwed up. In 3 they are an integral part of the that (as far as i can tell) happen at random.

Post by: Nighthawk on March 05, 2015, 06:19:24 pm

Actually, I'm pretty sure you can avoid most, if not all, of the jumpscares. For instance, if you see BB appear on your camera, switching to a different camera effectively "avoids" being jumpscared.

Post by: Sonlirain on March 05, 2015, 07:10:21 pm

True BB seems avoidable but the rest seem to pop up at random in your room. I assume they are somehow connected to Springtrap moving through various rooms disturbing spirits or you luring him to various places with BB's voice.

The hallucination scares all have visible triggers and some way of avoiding them, with the possible exception of

Mangle.

I do like that they disable systems in addition to the scare, it gives you a reason to avoid them instead of just powering through them.
