A Deep Dive Into FNAF'S Most INFLUENTIAL Fan Game... 

Fun Fact: The Face is actually supposed to appear on Night 4 in Treasure Island And his actual first appearence is Pirate Caverns the hint you get for night 4 refers to him with "the one with eyes" as sort of a more proper introduction and lets you now that he is hunting you down now aswell

Sad you didn't mention how Willy enters and leaves the cabin. Dude literally has an animation for entering and leaving! Haven't seen something like these in another FNAF fan game before, if I recall correctly. Such awesome detail

I would love an FNAF fan game were it uses the Uncanny Valley effect or other types of uncomfterble feelings (like tripophobia, the fear or disgust of patterns, usually holes, being too close)

I like how it isn't centered around animotronics, wich wouldn't really work as much, but rather about Monsters/ghosts just with the trademark Fnaf gameplay, because Just because it's a Fnaf Fan Game that doesn't mean it has to be animatronics Pretty unique for a Fnaf Fan Game. Sad that most of the gameplay is pretty stale and most of the Characters have the same mechanics (in the first game) Also all of these Character designs are SO SCARY

The best part about this game is, Disney nearly made their own version back during the Wii era. Epic Mickey had a similar premise with distorted mickey characters but the designers wanted to see how far they could push the scary factor and drew designs that were downright silent hill territory. (You can see them google or online btw if you're curious.) So when disney said no to them, they pulled back more and more until disney was okay with them and that's the game we got. Which is why there are unused endings for mickey where you can become whithered mickey if you deleted (used the thinner) too much and you end up being a scary demonic mickey. This was almost approved by disney themselves btw! So to see a fnaf fan game with a disney spin do the same thing but allowed to be horrific is amazing to see. Even if Disney is for kids, kids like scary stuff and fnaf is popular enough that Disney could make a game for it if they weren't so restricted. Sadly they are, but at least fan games will always give us what Disney avoids ^^

FNATI was definitely a decent attempt for a FNAF fan game, and the sequel made it absolutely fantastic. Great job to Radiance Team.

For Night 3 and Night 5, the phone calls contain ciphers in Base64. (Very common cipher in ARGs and the like) Just remember to have subtitles on to see the actual codes. If I do recall, the strings had said things like: "Henry is dead" "This isn't him" "I'm sorry Jake" "I need a body" "Hear me" I don't know if someone beat me to it, but yeah, just in case nobody wasn't able to crack it yet, these are what was said.

I’m going to be honest, when I saw hourglass die in Oblitus Casa, I started celebrating extremely hard because of the fact hourglass scared me every-time I encountered him.

Someone decoded the night 5 phone call that was in base 64. results are: threaded walk, I'm sorry jake, I need a body, they are liars, and I am sorry. Interesting if you ask me.

I LOVE how Oblitus Casa came out with the detailed and horrifying models and it's (semi) balanced mechanics. It's got its flaws but you can tell that this was a project made with love and I appreciate it when developers actually care about how the game fits their vision and what the audience might like to see. I love that the team had more creative freedom with Oblitus Casa, compared to the FNATI remake where they just recreated the game with some extras, you can tell that they went all out with it.

Theres actually one more cutscene that reveals a good chunk of story, but the only way to unlock it is by beating True Nightmare, the game's final challenge unlocked by obtaining every bonus character. I am really looking forward to Nightmare Below Disney and Oblitus Casa 2.0 (a huge update to Oblitus Casa that plans to fix every major issue)!

Actually, Obitus Casa does have a satisfying conclusion, but you have to do a lot of grinding to get it. To get the final conclusion, you must: - Beat night 6 to get a new ultra custom night character - Beat ALL the creepypasta characters for 4 more custom night characters - Beat Custom night on Max difficulty to unlock YET ANOTHER CHARACTER - Beat Custom Night again with the new character (True nightmare mode) Do all this and you get a bonus cutscene where you get to speak to Henry one last time, as you both worked together to try to destroy mother once and for all.

I'm kinda surprised that Disney hasn't sued the hell out of Radiance, but it just gives us better fangames so I can't complain

A little old fact about Oblitus Casa, the attic was the most broken part of the game. To finish the game quickly, all you need to do is sit in the attic and only have to face normal Mickey. They patched it after FusionzGamer took note of it.

seeing the iconic characters in such a deteroated state really bogs me up, great video!

You know I am still glad that FNATI has still left such a cult following to not only for the series to continuing development and finally being released as a full blown better and scarier reboot, but has also begun the pathway to other popular FNAF fan series. Examples such as FNAC, ONAF, Popgoes, TJOC, DSAF, Jolly and many others that brought in the huge influence.

i love this game, bit disapointing that the first game has the fnaf 2 syndrome of almost every character acting the same.

I tried to play Oblitus Casa but rage quit after I failed to get through the tunnels bc I didn’t know about the sound. Not to mention the post mortem section is so confusing. The game looks awesome and the mechanics during the nights seems super cool. It’s just too damn hard 😭

I think it would have been awesome if mother screamed “Get… OOUUUTTTTT!” In a high pitched scream. It would have been an interesting end, especially considering she couldn’t kill you, but also fitting since the daylight made them retreat. Meaning you could safely leave

I think Pastra's view on FNATI is more on point. This game is one of the better ones because of how it makes use of red herrings, just like another overly simple and easy to understand game, fnaf 1. In both of these games, to counteract the simple defense mechanics, it takes advantage of how you need to learn by trial and error by providing sounds and events which are scary and hard to determine if they're harmless. As well as one event which IS deadly. It means on your first playthrough or two you'll be constantly second guessing yourself as to whether that sound is a cue or that face is a danger. Much like fnaf 1, once you understand who's the real threats, it becomes easy if not monotonous. But I have to recognize the genius of red herring sound cues and events. It's a great way to up the horror and confusion.

12:39 turning on game subtitles for night 5 triggers secret codes that can be translated to lore for those curious ig lol

Yes, there is a reason you’re down in the tunnels, it’s to find food or something. My guess is you stay in the cabin over the course of a week and need food obviously. This is stated somewhere in the game, I’m sure you can find it if you search.

thanks for the cool video broski

It's nice that this subfranchise is still continuing. I remember getting freaked out by the main menu easter egg. Edit: kept watching into the 2 minute mark and holy shit it's there.

The Eyeless Jack Challenge is just essentially a Papparazzi Challenge and Jack is very good at not being caught

You know it’s a good day when PlainTrace uploads Also the Treasure Island remake and Oblitus Casa are some of SCARIEST FNAF fan games i have ever seen!! also great video!

I saw oblitus casa a bit ago, and it was alright, Nice to see you cover the two games! Hope you have a great day PlainTrace, you're one of my new favorite FNAF fangame coverage channels :D

I highly recommend checking out Treasure Island Anniversary Edition, a shorter game that Radiance made. In my opinion, I think it perfects the main gameplay loop of the Fnati games by finding the perfect balance between its mechanics. Due to having much less cameras available, the final nights, and especially the custom night, the cameras feel like a scarce resource with the threat of actually running out of active ones, forcing the player to closely consider the amount of time each character spends in your office before jumpscaring, in hopes of stacking multiple characters at once and getting rid of them all with one camera shut off. This plus the last ditch effort mechanic of hiding under the desk, which only has a 50% chance of getting rid of certain characters, I feel makes for a much more nerve racking and challenging experience that, in my opinion, is the definitive Fnati gameplay!

The day has finally come. Great review, love this games. One of the very few I wanted to complete the max difficulty custom nights. Now markiplier just has to play it T~T

The names of the enemies are really cool, it's not something like "Glamrock Soupcan" or "Funtime Baller"

Oblitus Casa recently got its 2.0 update, which fixed a hell of a lot of bugs and even redid some gameplay bits to feel a lot better.

I recently watched someone play Oblitus Casa and they downloaded a broken version of the game that made it so audio cues weren't popping up and Goofy didn't respond to Audio Signals. Once he finally firgured out the problem and installed an unbroken version of the game, he passed the night easily because of all the practice and the broken, unofficial "Hard" mode of the game lol

Another fun fact about the first game, it actually has more easter eggs in an attempt to keep the gameplay from being stale, though it looks like you got unlucky and never encountered any of them. These easter eggs include: - a chance to have Mortimer (Su-cide Mouse) to join the night. You know he has spawn when the classic music from that cartoon plays and the cameras are in black and white - Seeing multiple eyes when the lights are out - Having Pluto show up in your office And much more. Some easter eggs are fatal, while others exist just to catch first time players offguard. So try playing Treasure Island again and see if you can trigger any of them

surprised he has not encountered Mortimor in any of the nights fun fact: dippy is goofys old name

I love how PlainTrace does so much "foreshadowing" for night 6

24:15 The fact that an ad played after the jumpscare makes it unintentionally funny like those phone games that uses ad for giving almost anything to the player

Finally, you made a Treasure Island video. I honestly think this is a great fan game, we might have better ones nowadays but I still think it holds up until now. Huge respect for the creators. Can’t wait for you Jollibee Phase 2 video!

They are reworking oblitus casa entirely, and the tunnels sequence is better now

I love these games and I love to speedrun them. I never thougt that one of my favourite fangame reviewers would dedicate an entire video to both games. Thanks for the great content. I´m loving it.

The remake is for sure one of my favorite Fnaf Fan Games of all time. Oblitus is… fine. The premise and atmosphere is amazing, but I honestly wasn’t a huge fan of the gameplay. The second chance thing was epic, though, reminded me of the SCP fangame, and the amount of extra effort and content in it is nothing short of incredible.

the phone call on night 5 is encrypted but it's basically henry saying the phone call from night 3 and 6 are not him but a trap set by the characters.

Also the "Come Closer" thing isn't a human it's Hourglass.

Would be so cool if you looked at Phobia: The Awakening. A Wiggles themed FNAF fan game that is genuinely good was a big surprise hit for me

I had NO idea Radiance was planning a THIRD FNATI game

Honestly, adding creepypasta characters as extra challenges is genius. The game was already based off of a creepypasta, so it makes sense to add big names to the game as a bonus. And hey, Jeff the Killer is finally scary for a change! That's a first! (Seriously, don't read the actual story. It's bad).

How has this game not been taken down by Disney yet

I have been bingeing your videos for 3 days now because I’ve been sick. and I thought there wouldnt be anymore videos to watch so I’m thankful that this is long and it’s about a fan game ❤❤❤ keep up the good work mr plain

thanks for making these videos, they're great to listen to during work

I always love your videos! Not only does it always include fnaf which is one of my fav fandoms, Your narration is amazing!

As soon as you mentioned fnati, nostalgia just hit me like a freight train at full speed, i completely forgot that it existed. I used to watch a youtuber play this game but i cant recall who it was. That's still a mystery on my end

Markiplier's thumbnails for the old treasure island game is by far one of the most terrifying things i've ever seen in my life

Man, your videos are so amazing, everytime I see the notification of your thumbnails I know that I will have a good evening. Keep up the good work!

Dude I’m so glad you made a video about this fangame that comes being extremelly nostalgic tô me. 😊

EVERYONE, THERE IS A NEW VERSION OF THIS GAME OUT! IT HAS COMPLETELY OVERHAULED THE TUNNELS, AND THE TWO CREEPYPASTA CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH THE TUNNELS! IT LOOKS AMAZING, PLEASE CHECK IT OUT

YES ! I was waiting for you To do Fnaf 2020 and Oblitus Casa for So long ! It’s one of my favorites fan games

Treasure island has scared me for so long. Seeing there will be more will be awesome! It’s really been updated a lot. I want to see u play the newer fnati when it comes out

I love your videos so much, keep doing you man you make amazing content!

I think it’s time to explain the second chance mechanic the game has: Jumpscare: Ad: “No time to introduce the Jimmy Johns chicken wrap”

The end cutscene of OC actually makes sense, mother transformed into a more vulnerable form and the sun killed her

I love the tunnel section, you can hear that thing in the tunnels trying to get you to come closer to it!

Here some updates: The tunels is actully reworking, is been show a last update where a video of the new tunels, is way different and way scarry (apart of a lot of new updates to this game,not only the tunels) the part of "the second chance" game i really don't know completely but here some tips i actually saw in a lot of gameplay: -if someone is in the doors flash em -Donalds disguise as one of the mickey heads, be carefull -Mickey and oswald are the ones you have to make em away with "Your Best Friend" the mickey voodo, don't use em too much/stab em too much, you will make both of em mad (i know, much of the RU-vidrs do that of stab em with out idea and get almost a imiedtly jumscare) -i think you don't have to look at minnie at all -and ortensia is the one i don't know, i only know she is the circus

I actually feel like hourglass was such a waste in character potential on oblitus casa. The design just had something that makes me desire to see more of them in a bigger role (like in treasure island)

I love that first jumpscare at the beginning. It’s your warning sign. The games way of saying “We ain’t f*cking around. You’ve landed in deep sh*t kid”

I’ve been waiting for an upload thank you so much

Oh God if the player is Jake in Nightmare Below Disney, I'm very impressed that he's still alive after Oblitus Casa, FNATI, and this nightmare... I don't know how he's able to be so strong after all he's been through.

You inspire me to make my own videos so keep up the amazing content!

Ive been waiting and expecting this video, glad you made it because its a pearl and a gem of a team as it is, nice video keep up the good work i wish you a great day or night!

I love that you make long videos!!! It’s so entertaining to watch!

I feel like the remastered FNTI is pretty good for what it is. It's not trying to reinvent the wheel of the FNAF fan game formula but rather focuses on helping the game reach its potential from the original cause if you've seen the production history with the series it's almost a miracle it was even made to begin especially with the sequels. That's probably why i can excuse the gameplay's monotony. It's definitely an 8.5/10 for me imo. And as for its sequel easily a 9.5/10.

As a veteran FNaTI fan, I loved this video, although there are a few notes I would like to say: - The Face (FNaTI) doesn’t become active until Night 4 - Treasure Island has a lot of post-game content I’m shocked wasn’t even mentioned, including Classic Mode, a complete full remake of the original demo that Markiplier played, bad graphics, sounds, bugs and all. - Most of the Custom Night characters not being mentioned was disappointing although I understand as they’re more nods and call-backs to legacy FNaTI fans (like me), instead of important noteworthy things (like who besides me would get excited over Ink-Blot Mickey or Slester) - The games have TONS of Easter Eggs, such as Nightmare Suicide Mouse, Squidward from Five Nights at The Chum Bucket , Golden P.N. Mickey (named The Forgotten One) and Suicide Mouse (renamed Mortimer) showing up in Treasure Island and them all reappearing in Oblitus Casa alongside Funtime P.N. Mickey (named DEEZ NUTS from the April Fools Oblitus Casa demo) and if you press a certain key combination during a night, you can watch an entire iCarly episode in 144p before it being cut half way through by a Jumpscare. - And finally, Post-Mortum (the Gulag) is explained albeit only in Night 1 for 5 seconds. Shade P.N. Mickey and Oswald get warded away with the YBF. Shade Goofy can be seen in the hallways and if not shined away will steal YBF. Shade Donald will be summoned if you click on a glitching out Mickey head. Shade Sadie (Ortensia) will be summoned if you spam YBF or stay too long. And Shade Minnie behaves like FNaF 1 Golden Freddy. Still absolutely amazing video!

Man I didnt watch it yet but I missed your content so much, I watched all your content, you certainly are my fav fnaf content youtuber

just what i need after i wake up. a video from this guy!

*MOTHER HE COVERED THE FUNNY GAME!!*

As a fellow FNAF fan game dev on game maker im glad to see fnati get the love it deserves

Thank yuo for your videos. They always cheer me up!

22:55 That chime gives me some very bad memories. It literally sent a chill up my spine as I remembered hearing it previously.

I would like to point out that the death minigame does tell you what to do. If you die during night 1. The first night has a scripted death that can easily be ignored by not being on the camera’s around 4 to 5 AM as mother will kill you at any moment you have the camera’s up at 5 AM. I suspect however this will be addressed in V2. But here’s a rough idea of what the mechanics were. Goofy will appear in the left hall, hold the light on him until he disappears. If goofy gets in he takes the doll . Oswald’s is gimmicky and I’m going off of memory, but I believe you use the voodoo doll. Usually he leaves. Minnie will enter the office and acts like golden Freddy, just flip the camera’s up. Donald will mimic a Mickey head, the way to tell the difference is the fake Mickey head is flickering none stop and you can see Donald slightly. A real one does not flicker. Mickey however is the problem, due to V1 being very unstable, avoiding him is nigh impossible unless you keep your on him. Mickey will enter via the right hall, however here’s the catch… you won’t see him, when you are supposed to. What’d you’d do then is hit the BFF about 3 to 4 times to scare him off.

*Fun fact: Oblitus Casa is Latin for Fallen House.*

first 40+ min video that caught my attention, what a video 🔥🔥

there was a pause before you started going over the second chance mechanic and you will never understand the terror I felt when this very calm and peaceful video was interrupted with a grating and loud “CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP” from an ad

I love how plaintrace's voice is just so calming-

How are all of the videos he releases absolute bangers?

This was a nice deep dive, it picked apart the interesting parts of these games.

I love you man and your high quality videos ❤❤❤

Shame you didn't mention how sometimes just random shit happens in the first game. (Also in Oblitus Casa to a lesser degree) Like how audio cues play for no reason, a massive amount of eyes appear in the darkness, or how characters sometimes get replaced. Suicide Mouse being the greates example to appear.

I'm just glad the game finally saw a full release after the years of development hell it was in being passed around from team to team

This fan game series is so amazing so far Another thing is the Easter eggs in these games are actually amazing I'll give an example of one I like from Treasure Island There's a chance when you turn your light off the room will be filled with eyes in the position of all the characters and it gets you good when you have never seen it

Dayum, 42 mins?! This is one hella of a vid

I first know this game from jumpscare compilation or even sparta remix but at the time it's pretty hard to find the full gameplay somehow

Its really sad that nightmare below disney was a joke game

Glad your making longer videos

Very good video keep up the work 😁

well they released NBD, it's a joke game. It's not bad, in fact it is both good and funny. It's a celebration of the large amount of fangames produced, which from someone who grew up with those it is really nice to see the "helm" so to acknowledge just how influential FNATI was. don't expect any huge gameplay mechanics or story though, OC was def meant to be the end of treasure island and it is unlikely they'll even do another fnaf game, as well, they said they wanted to something else. That does leaves me wondering, what will they do next?

I'm looking extremely forward to Nightmare Below Disney, and would like to see it reviewed!

18:57 "Your friends are dead. I am here to help you." JESUS

Finally you covered one of my favourite fnaf fan games and one of my favourite fnaf fan game series

How the Second Chance characters works is as follows Mickey- Stab YBF if he’s at an office entrance Minnie- Pull up your camera if she’s in the office Goofy- Shine your light at him if he’s at an office entrance Donald- Don’t click on a glitching Mickey head Also wish you talked about FNATI classic mode and the custom night characters of both games Also beating True Nightmare in Custom Night will give a cutscene that answers questions

Hey trace, what’s your thoughts on the eyeless characters getting the mother’s eyes when the lights are out in your office?

11:19 that is what i was thinking this entire time glad you pointed it out

Fun fact: in the old version of the game if you stayed in the menu for too long Mickey will jump out of its place and jump scare you
