Scott releasing FNAF 1: shouldn't be that much lo- Cracking SFX FNAF 2-9:

We never expected where this franchise would go

People: it can't get any worse. Scott: there are books, the movie, and more

William wanting the kids to follow him and “ SEE SOMETHING COOL IN THE PARTS AND SERVICE ROOM “

People at five nights at Freddy's:

Fun fact : the first fnaf game is actually planned to be the last game of scott cawthon before being popular to many fandom

Scott cawthon: I'm done making games Fate: come on, shake my hand... (explodes in popularity) yes!!!

Dying William afton : time to find peace in death Golden Freddy : I got friends on the other side The animatronics : Dancing in custom night

To give the guy some credit, Fnaf 1 was Scott’s last ditch attempt to save his video game making career. He was struggling to make income because people thought his family friendly games were far too creepy. Then suddenly his game blew up, saving his game dev career and giving him a second chance.

“But that’s just a theory, a game theory “ -quote said by a legend

Me trying to convince the police not arrest me after committing 8725285287538752 crimes

"fun" fact: Scott literally had so many suicidal thoughts before releasing FNaF 1, that the insurance company cancelled his life insurance.

William after luring the kids into the back room

William afton in the next game: 💀

Scott’s really speedrunning to 57, isn’t he?

the way he causally glitches in and out of existence

The domino effect 1:Scott releases FNAF 1 10 dominoes later. 10:Mattpatt goes insane for the 50th time trying to understand the lore

MatPat: "NO, NO NO NO NO. I AM NOT READY!!!"

If only Scott knew what he would of created back then, he is the definition of don’t give up

Me then: oh, a fun little game Me now: THE HELL IS THE MIMIC?! WHAT DID I GET MYSELF INTO?! MATPAT! DON’T LEAVE ME HERE! MATPAAAAAT!

The mask used to only hide your face from the animatronics, but now it allows you to unlock dimension breaking ability and somehow teleportation too.

Accurate after the first game they were coding like crazy

I gotta be honest, fanf is like one of those movies that does really well in the box office, so the studio bleeds it dry until you're absolutely sick of it

POV: matpat checking all the games whenever the new book comes out

The dance caught me off gaurd💀💀💀

Like in all honesty, scott deserves the fame he got, dude took advice that his characters in other games look creepy cause they are animatronic like, and said "Ya know what, good idea"

Me Fnaf 1: sure why not Me Other Fnaf games: THE LORE MAKES NO SENSE

Fnaf 1 was the begining of an era, an era of a magical place were fantasy comes to live

Lore : The first Five Nights at Freddy's release came in 2014, and immediately rose toward the top of the survival horror genre thanks to the deeply tense nature of its sinister gameplay. In the game, the player takes control of a nightshift security guard at a derelict pizzeria known as Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, which is rumored to contain haunted and reanimated life-size animatronics that wander the facility at night. The pizzeria itself is in a state of disrepair thanks to a series of tragedies associated with it, namely the kidnapping and likely murder of five children by a man named William Afton. It is rumored that the victims' bodies had been stuffed inside the many animatronic mascots of the pizzeria, named Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, which had led to a widespread boycott of the business and directly led to its demise. With the protagonist monitoring the animatronics at night through the use of security cameras, it quickly becomes apparent that these rumors are true, with the mascots moving freely throughout the facility, edging closer and closer to the player's location with malicious intent. The player can only survive the lengthy period in the facility by managing the power supply of doors and lights, ensuring that none of the possessed animatronics can get close enough to inflict a mortal wound. Five Nights at Freddy's 2 released in 2014 very close to its predecessor, telling a prequel tale to the events of the first game. Taking place in a different location of the same restaurant chain, the title features many of the same animatronics from the first game while introducing a spate of new ones, such as a more passive figure known as Balloon Boy. The original animatronics from the first game are kept in the restaurant initially as backup suits, but once again roam the facility at night along with their newer counterparts. FNAF 2 goes into more detail about the aforementioned murder of five children that was explored within the first game, telling the lore via Atari-style mini-games. The perpetrator of these crimes is depicted as a sinister and gaunt purple figure, earning him the moniker of Purple Guy for most of the franchise's story. Following the murderous intent displayed by the newly introduced animatronics in the title, the game ends with them being decommissioned in favor of the classic characters that dominate the first game. The third mainline installment to the FNAF franchise gave fans a huge acceleration to the series' lore and story, taking place 30 years after the events of the original game. This game is set within a new establishment called Fazbear's Fright, a horror attraction attempting to capitalize on the sinister urban legends surrounding the restaurant chain. Once again, the player assumes the role of a nightshift security worker at the location, with deadly paranormal encounters saturating the core gameplay of the title. The key lore from FNAF 3 stems from the introduction of a brand-new animatronic known as Springtrap. It is revealed through the same kind of mini-games as FNAF 2 that Springtrap was formed from the killer William Afton, or Purple Guy, hiding from the ghosts of his victims in an empty rabbit animatronic suit. With the suit malfunctioning and trapping Afton inside, his spirit seemingly lingers on inside. Five Nights at Freddy's 4 is one of the most unique installments to the franchise, taking place within a child's bedroom instead of the norm of a security office within a facility. With the player taking control of the child, it is revealed that the protagonist has an intense fear of the animatronics at Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, indicating that the title takes place before the events of the first game. The game's story chronicles the infamous "Bite of '83", in which a child was tragically killed in an accident involving one of the animatronics at the facility. It is revealed that the protagonist of the game is the victim of this event, being relentlessly bullied by his friends and brothers over his irrational fear of the pizzeria's characters. During a birthday party at the location, his head was stuffed into one of the animatronic's mouths, with his tears causing a technical fault that caused the animatronic to bite down, killing the boy. Many other titles have released within the FNAF universe following FNAF 4, despite not continuing the sequential titles of the previous installments. The game Sister Location explained how William Afton was the creator of the animatronics of Five Nights at Freddy's, with his daughter's soul supposedly possessing a smaller animatronic called Circus Baby which predates the establishment of the Fazbear restaurant chain. During the events of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, the player takes control of William Afton's son, Michael. With the animatronics of the franchise now being seriously dilapidated, so much so that they are now barely functioning and rebuilt scrap versions of their prior selves, it is revealed in the title that Springtrap survived the events of FNAF 3, now known as Scraptrap. The most recent release, Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach, offers free roam gameplay and only spans a single night, bringing fans up to date with the story of the franchise. Security Breach reveals that an entire mall has been created under the Freddy Fazbear franchise, with the player controlling a boy named Gregory who works alongside a new non-hostile Freddy to navigate the maliciously programmed animatronics of the facility. With the game culminating with a revisit to the ruins of the original pizzeria and the reveal of Afton's spirit living on as the even more disfigured "Burntrap", it is clear that the story of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise is not over yet.

I'm striving for the day we get FNAF 9.5💀

William afton still being alive beacuse of fnaf 6 and security breach William: *Fnaf 10 is coming out baby! *

Fnaf fans when they see more games: *goes insane and dies and still insane in heaven*

Scott really pre-saved the story 💀

As an og fan, I can definitely say that I was not prepared for how far this franchise would come. It’s crazy to think about how we went from a simple point and click game to a frickin movie!

Circus baby giving Elizabeth ice cream 🍦 be like:

And we thank him for that A fandom that never ends

Fnaf 1: just a haunted pizzeria with scary animatronics Fnaf 9: lore more complicated than the entire history of the world

We were, in fact, not ready for this. Especially MATPAT

Bro’s face was trying so hard to rizz someone ☠️

The fact there’s even an 8.75 and an 8.9 shows that Scott has been driven into insanity

Bro took horror games to a whole level that when I first played these games I was screaming in pain and tears

Pov: A man in a Spring Bonnie suit just asked you what animatronic is your favorite.

"NO NO friend I'm not ready" Voodoo man

normal pouple: A NO I NOT READY matpat:HAHA I ALWAYS READY😈😈😈

FNAF IS LIFE

"What my game characters look like animatronics?... Actually thats not a bad idea..." *nightmare* "BAD IDEA BAD IDEA-" *gets popular* "🤨"

Once you enter the fandom, there's no leaving it...

The day Scott began his assent to be the God of Mascot Horror and Trolling

Accurate

Willian Afton luring the 5 kids to a backroom be like:

The fact that scott cawthon created 4 games in one year is insane, also the way he was building up hype for all his games was just so insane.

SO ACCURATE because I wanted to now the lore then fnaf 2 3 4 5 pop up and I was like welp gonna be here for a while

Scott releasing Fnaf 1 All the characters: Thank you Scott!

That one kid in advisory with literal 2nd graders💀💀💀

The smile at the end just makes this vid so much better

POV: You are MatPat making a theory video after playing a surprisingly popular horror game.

Scott making bonnie in every god damn game:

POV me when my friend says they don’t know what FNAF is:

Man best handshake ive ever made

“I’ll never stop making spin offs!” -Scott Cawthon

The fluidity of his movements and the way he pops off at the end makes it all the better.

You forgot Fnaf 10, FNAFVR: Help Wanted 2

Every theorist is definitely just strapped to chairs in front of him

Malcom: Dad, i want to lear about the FNAF lore Hal: Son, you know once you start there's no going back

Thank you Scott. We’ll miss you

the way he jumped in the air and went crazy

Scott: *makes FNAF 1* FNAF 1: *becomes famous* Scott: "Hahahahha... HAHAHAHAH"

Scott Cawthon if he didn't get those comments about his characters looking scary: ☠️

Accurate... I just wanted some jumpscares, dude... now I've got every book, played every game, seen/read thousands of theories... damn you Scott you insane genius

"Hey. Wheres fnaf 1? "

MatPat: "I WAS BORN FOR THIS"

It's crazy how he had a whole story of like 9 Games all planned out from 2014 to 2022

For me, it wasn't that traumatising as people describe in the comments. I got invested to this game when I was 7 years old the first time I sneaked into my sister's ipad and found it. The reason I became obsessed later with this game is mainly for the lore and how cool the music videos were made on the franchise. I randomly sang these songs growing up but then I realised won't find someone to share my interests with, and also realised that I'm a weirdo for liking this game.but now since 15 and until now (almost 17) security breach got out, I watched the whole gameplay from markplier like 3-6 hours a video and never got bored. And did realise that there are literally people who were fans like me ever since they were a kid too. So no, it is not supposed to be for kids. But guess that for me and some other ppl, it' wasn't that scary and rather so cool and has a deep lore behind it.

Scott: It’s a fun horror game try it! Me: *Plays it* Scott: Only 910 games to go! :D

We didn’t expect the series to be this much!

Scott on his way to release 4 games/minute:

I’m scared of how accurate this is

FNAF 1 was Scott's last chance to save his dev career, and it was a good idea. However, there was a chance he would have just left. If that happened, our childhoods would have been completely different.

Matpat: Now this looks like a job for me. We’ll miss you father theorist

I am stuck in this rabbit hole. And I'm okay with that.

Scott creating the most complicated lore in history

That one critic who said the characters in chipper and son’s lumber co looked like animatronics was definitely not ready for this..

Scott about to drop the most fire lore ever (He won't actually do that, he'll just have the community make up lore from random breadcrumbs and fight over who's more right online).

This is so true and I can't wait for the movie omg

Scott making a deal with MatPat:

Matpat had to retire to escape all of this lore.

It started off as a Point-and-Click survival horror game about fending off haunted Animatronics. But because he had the posters, hidden messages, PHONE GUY and a ton of info hidden within the game..... well we were in for a wild ride.

Think you Scott for making my childhood the best it could be:)

This audio basically is William afton🙃💀

The sheer pain Markiplier had to go through

"you have no idea the events you have just set in motion"

And to think this all only happened because people thought his characters from his other old games were to scary lol

i love this meme so much its so amazing

In one game you’re not allowed to wear a mask for too long but in another game you have to wear it like 100% of the time

The way he flings himself around the room like that kills me

This is the most accurate depiction of what I'm sure definitely happened with Scott
