This NEW FNAF Prequel Game is TERRIFYING… (FNAF Fan Game) 

It's so sweet to see Henry and William be genuine friends and care for each other at the start, but it makes it even sadder when it all comes crashing down onto the both of them.

The phone guy seems to have a Cave Johnson-esque personality, which is something I find great about this game. The phone guy is like a little comedy relief before you're left alone to fend against the animatronics by yourself. He works great as a narrative device and a relief of tension.

As cool as lucid Springtrap could be, I can't help but think that it's way more horrible and fitting that William's personality and intelligence is barely there. I always thought that the reason Springtrap was so scary beyond being a corpse in a suit is that it is still violent and murderous, but in a more animalistic or instinctual way. I always interpreted FNAF3 og Springtrap to be nothing more than a husk of what was once William, where there's only enough of him left to feel the agony of being permanently trapped in a body he can't truly control while feeling the pain of the springlocks for eternity.

This game designer needs to have AAA titles taking notes. The details of the animatronics moving, twitching, and switch from robotic to fluid when haunted both during observation and when attacking (Springbonnie 2.0 when looking at the door is a great example) makes them look so life like and alive, it makes me stare at the bodies and limbs more than the scare.

Terrifying gameplay, believable motives, good voice acting, and William is finally actually British?!?!? I could kiss the devs.

I adore the way that this game portrays William, he is basically 100% how I imagined him. A person who actually cared about his children, and went mad by following an idea of immortality and perhaps the resurrection of his son after he died. LOVE IT, he actually acts like a villain with a motive that you can understand.

The idea that William framed Henry is really cool to me. Definitely fits his controlling manipulative personality. The scares in this game are great, giving you small jumps with the animatronics leaning in (closing the door to a painting in the same pose is funny). The devs did great, thanks for the vid PlainTrace, it’s really appreciated!

14:11 can confirm at least two references to the books. Weird that they referenced those, but doesn’t bog down what is otherwise an fantastic looking fan-game

The mechanic of the generator overheating instead of running out of power is honestly one of the best I've seen in a while, is such a simple change but a welcome one, besides Night 5 and 6

The thing about Golden Freddy, who is actually called Fredbear 2.0 in this game, is that he takes a very long time to actually attack, so you don't need to close it immediately when he arrives.

The maggots on Williams rotting corpse in the 4/20 ending is such a great detail. It really gives me the creeps and it makes me feel disgusted by looking at him.

i feel like the CEO sounds very like Markiplier

I love the implication that you play as the original phone guy in this game. It seems like such a basic concept, yet I can't think of any fan games that try to expand on his character.

This game being about William’s deep dive into insanity is really cool, he started off as a businessman who wanted to entertain and become famous, calling his friend, having meetings and still having time for his children. And then when Michael pushes Evan too far in, he goes insane, his child was lost because of another child that was also his, really shows William’s psychological problems, this is why he’s such a good antagonist. One problem:William needs to stop coming back.

The hidden cutscene feels like a mortal kombat 11 or injustice 2 classic mode ending honestly, which I like.

Honestly I really like how the story portrayed William- he feels more human- he grieved the passing of his daughter in such a horrible way that he almost came to feel as though nobody could have joy in their children if he couldn’t. Wanted to hurt everyone in the same way in a failing attempt to comfort himself

Here are things i love about this game 1. The visuals, they are amazing 2. Portal 2 cave johnson personality 3. Graphics and camera animations 4. Ambience, i almost shit my pants after hearing the ambience 5. There is always the feeling that the puppet is behind you

I have seen a RU-vidr who have completed the whole game, Fredbear 2.0(Golden Freddy) will be at the door staring at you, you can wait for about 5 seconds until you close the door, and that can save your generator heat.

I love this alternate take on Springtrap, specifically how Afton intentionally springlocked himself to achieve immortality. It makes him appear as a much more dangerous villain.

I love how this game answers why william is what he is. In the official games he's just that evil guy that always comes back; but to know THIS is why he comes back, this is why he went insane and this is what lead to where the later games went; fills in so many plotholes. (excluding the shadows, but even those were explain a little bit with the original 2 animatronics at the start, being present). But this begs the question. When william the immortal meets ennard the invincible, what would happen? Would they fight to infinite ends? Would one win? Who would win? Or worse, if they fused (due to the other having what they don't have and vice-versa) who becomes the dominant mind? Ngl I always imagined one of the two going into a frankenstein route with human bodies being used to make parts rather than robot bodies with humans in them. But if FNAF did that it would definitely get a mature rating which is unlikely with FNAF : SB. Still, it makes you wonder what both their endgame is.

I wanna say you've become one of my favourite youtubers. I don't know how but you're capable of just caputuring my attention for such long spans of time... Nothing else has been able to do that for years.

Another 2 great things the game emphasizes with it's presentation is the claustrophobia of the office & the scale of the animatronics. Really only FNAF 1 in HW was able to get that feeling right, as in the main line clickteam games, and in other fangames, the player's perspective is usually zoomed out, making the office seem bigger. I feel tight corners and cramped areas are a large aspect of horror. It lets the spooky threat get up nice and close. RE2 Remake is a perfect example of this.

I love how the phone guy is a cave johnson parody. (Also its not golden freddy is fredbear 2.0)

This game came out 2 weeks ago? I SWEAR it was out longer than that.

There's actually a few references to the fazbear frights books in the recordings! There's the reference to the ball bit, as well as the later message when the founder talks about his dream of being half robot half human. He also at one point also references a doll climbing into a night guards mouth which is another fazbear frights story. It's super neat to see these books alluded to!

00:00 Introduction 00:59 Game Beginning/Main Menu 01:32 Night 1 04:57 Night 2 09:02 Night 3 13:17 Night 4 16:25 Night 5 18:09 Ending 1 20:04 Night 6 20:11 Ending 2 21:11 4/20 21:15 Ending 3 24:28 Final Thoughts

A remake of fnaf 3, with this William, sounds hard. Imagine the regular fnaf 3, but if springtrap were even smarter about his actions; that would be sick!

I played the demo version of this game and I have to say it was very well made and actually scared me from time to time! The developers are incredibly talented, and I hope they continue making fnaf games.

I really like how this game takes inspiration from MatPat’s videos and the books, it’s just a really cool addition.

holy shit. incredible design aside, the addition of maggots to afton's corpse to springtrap made my skin crawl and my hair stand on end and i think his original design would have hit so much harder had they been there. this game has such chilling designs and beautiful, poetic writing, and i'm grateful you shared rtbn with us and that it didn't slip under my radar!❤

The writing and voice acting in this are really refreshing damn, telling the story through phone calls between Henry and William really makes you feel like you know the characters and their actions better

I love how the animatronics are positioned in the same place as the paintings on the walls

The game mechanics play into the horror aspect really well, the ambience is great, and the game overall looks spectacular. This might really be the best fnaf fangame we've got this year!! Also it's kinda funny how the CEO himself is the phone guy and sounds like Cave Johnson from Portal, his line delivery is very strong and he's genuinely interesting to listen to, unlike other fangame phone guys. ALSO also: the animatronic screen at the beginning of each night looks like Bohemian Rhapsody.

I do enjoy how the Henry/William calls really do seem to be some genuine friendship between the two. Something that's never really felt like a big thing in any other fan games I've experienced.

it feels like the CEO was designed after Cave Johnson in Portal 2. He's got the same carefree boss personality.

You're supposed to be looking behind you to check the Puppet but the movement of the light makes it look like you're doing a forward somersault or something.

13:03 I love how spring bonnie 2.0 just doing a gigachad pose

8:33 This is really small but I feel like having the animatronics face appearing in the doorway matching with the photo of the animatronic on the closed door is a very nice touch

I think this game, with the plotline, art, and direction so clear and well-executed, is what FNAF fans wish the original games were. This is canon to me.

When you said that Fredbear chilling at the door is a problem, I do have a solution. When you see him at the door, wait about 10 seconds to close it. It is a pretty confusing mechanic, but when he is at the door you still have a lot of time left.

yes the ball pit reference is in the into the pit book. don't wanna spoil too much since its a good read, but for short the mc goes into the ball pit and travels back to freddys. the second reference is from the to be beautiful story in the same book. that story is kinda messed up and id suggest reading it as well.

The fact that here william instead of making his death a ridiculous accident into actually planned step to bond his life to his work is outstanding, this type of fan games rasily could work out back to back with actual game, about books they not even closely bond to fnaf as could be assumed and simply stories having fnaf characters in it. Overall i think it's actually fitting set springtrap cutscene behind 4/20 due to prove that you are a fan of Fnaf and hunt for every single bit, yeah it's hard but it's fairly rewarding with spoiler to next game which i'd say a fine trade.

9:10 i love how this is a small nod to how scott got the idea for fnaf, if you can recall the reason he made FNAF is because in another game he made, the players are saying that the model looked terrifying so he made them into a horror game and FNAF was made

the waking up with replaced legs reference was from the fazbears fright story "to be beautifull"

The phone guy sounds suspiciously like Markiplier

this fan game is absolutely STELLAR whoever wrote the scripts and story for this game should’ve been the ones to come up with the lore tbh /hj

21:21 the last ending cutesiness reminds me of the ending in MKX and I love it!

I Just love so much how they potrayed William and Henry's relationship, it's kinda wholesome (At least at the start 💀)

I really like how they showed how much Henry and William cared for each other and they weren’t always enemies as Henry shows how concerned he was for William when he got divorced.

the night 4 phone call about the phone guy's nightmare could be a reference to To Be Beautiful which is the 2nd story in Into The Pit

William’s transition from spooky horror villain to badass mad scientist was amazing

When William said “You may not recognize me at first, but I assure you it’s still me.” It hit real hard for me.

Ok but can we talk about how Williams’s voice actor absolutely killed it?! Plus the art in the secret ending is amazing!

Usually the most important stuff in FNAF games is hidden in the 7th night and in content almost no players will see

I love it when you upload because your content is high quality and you give a good description of the game(s) you talk about

12:21 Golden Freddy sounds like the type of guy to duck down and throw grenades while being beaten him to death with a crowbar by a 27 year old scientist.

''you may not recognize me at first but i assure u its still me'' voice acting is glorious

If this isnt proof we need a fanverse 2 i dont know how much more proof you need

i really like the CEO's voice in the game. he sounds like a mix of cave johnson and markiplier

"pretty sure it's reference to one of the FNAF books, but I'm not sure I haven't gotten around to reading them yet. Let me know in the comments..." You not only have the right book but the right story lol. It is literally from the into the pit story. A kid goes back in time to the original Fred bears and witnesses one of the kidnappings. I think I remembering that right There's quite a bit more to it than that including a freaky spring Bonnie, but that's the gist. Edit: this is not meant in mean spirits. I just find it amusing if it was purely a coincidence. If it wasn't that makes a lot of sense, given the title.

14:11 I feel like this could also be a reference to Dreadbear due to the fact he mentioned he was clunking around like Frankenstein (Also this feels like a fnaf game steelwool should have made after helpwanted)

Yes the ballpit being a time machine is most definitely a reference to the first fazbear frights book

99% sure the Return to Bloody Nights 2 screen is just a joke. Also even if it isn't, don't forget that Sister Location also hid Springtrap's reveal behind the ultra hard night.

There were actually multiple references to the Fazbear Frights books! I remember both the time machine ball pit being a reference to Into The Pit (obviously), and also he talks about ballerina robots crawling inside someone when he's sleeping (or something like that, I don't exactly remember the phonecalls) which is a reference to the Fazbear Frights book "Room For One More". In Room For One More, it follows a person working at the place we play SL in, and he has a toy minireena on his desk. Everynight his skin starts feeling tighter than the night before and he feels more sick, and the minireena on his desk is slightly different. It's revealed at the end that each minireena has been different and they've been crawling down his throat and into his skin when he sleeps. At the end he is trying to make his way out of his facility, however one minireena at the door asks "is there room for just one more?" and then crawls inside him, and it's implied that he burst open. Anyways you should read the Fazbear Frights books, I don't even like reading but I enjoy them.

4:37 Damn they really brought in the PKE meter from Ghostbusters? Didn't know they took place in the same universe! The lore never ends

4:38 That spirit device reminded me of P.K.E. meter from Ghostbusters (They do the same thing but look very different)

Plaintrace, i love your videos as they are so descriptive and make me find out some amazing fangames.

When Fredbear makes it to your door, you actually have a sizeable amount of downtime, you don't have to react automatically. Though this solution is hidden by his death screen, whom you probably won't die to since it's easier to avoid him than the death of him draining your power. Perhaps if this advice were accessible before you died it would help.

The phone guy reminds me of Cave Johnson, and I couldn't be happier!

I have been waiting this upload for ages ngl I love his commentary and this also helps me find new fnaf fangames to play the long upload schedule works because I have time to play the game before you make a new one and I play the new one

Ur one of my fav youtubers! I love the commentary you gave on this game. I'm hyped for a sequel to a game that I haven't even played now. KEEP POSTING!

Well made video PlainTrace!

14:26 This is the only reference I got, and it was from “To Be Beautiful” from the 2nd Fazbear Frights book, “Fetch”

Broooo your channel has been growing so fast! That's amazing for you

I’ve watched multiple of your videos but on my Tv i was never signed in but i gotta say you’re one of my favorite RU-vidrs keep up the good work

the phone guy this time is an actual genuine delight, i could hear this man talking for days

First fnaf game in a while that actually had jumpscares that scared me. I was unbelievably happy.

The best thing happened to me this year is finding your channel I literally finished every single video and want to see more video like this❤❤

I love your channel, you explain games with humor and in depth description.

that 4/20 cutscene really feels like its inspired by the cutscenes from Twisted Metal Black. Gave me the same vibes

I love your review. Small complaint, but you didn’t mention the game over screens. Those, imo, give the game it’s name. Certainly among the best game over screens in a fnaf fan game.👌

The fact no one noticed that the night intros with the animatronics starring at you especially at 14:00 with all four animatronics is a nod to Queens' album cover for bohemian rhapsody.

Honestly might be my new fav fnaf fan game captures a lot of the feel from the older (goodness it makes me feel old saying that) titles gives me a fnaf 1 vibe with a fnaf 4 style gameplay ina way not perfectly the same but still the way every mechanic stacks atop eachother making a stressful but fair experience I just love it.

A great, in-depth look as always! I don't enjoy the game mechanics of most FNAF games and fan games so it's always cool to have videos like these that let me keep track of what kind of fanworks are being produced. The first thing that really sticks out to me here is the voice acting!! There are a lot of fan games out there that focus more on the visuals, but I always thought the spundscape, including the voice acting, is a huge part of making games immersive and really pulling your focus in. I also love these developers' take on the characters of Henry and William, and the idea that Henry was framed definitely fits my interpretation of William. I think it's great that they bring in William's search for immortality so early on in the game as it's a big part of what drives him throughout the series! Also had a laugh about that time-travelling ball pit! It's such a silly concept that was introduced in the books and then literally never explained other than the fact that it exists, glad to see it lives on in the minds of others :D.

Woah! I can't wait to see this myself, It looks awesome!

That 4 20 mode ending was so Twisted Metal-esque, I fell in love with that presentation alone.

I like watching your videos because you remind me of superhorrorbro explaining a games lore or explaining how to play the game

This game is hard as hell for anybody wanting to play, be prepared to die a LOT, still haven't beaten Night 3

Quite a shame that you never talked about the death screens, I personally quite like how they go all out in em.

Is Golden Freddy's voice the HECU grunt's from Half-Life 1? If that's so, then it's amazing!

The phone guy: Oh yeah, forgot to mention. The ball pit is a Time Machine! Me in my mind: Hello Internet, welcome to Gametheory

The phone guy is giving me Cave Johnson vibes

"I'm interested in..." My mind for no reason: 'Your mother' I don't know why this just came in but now it's just hilarious and I love it Btw great video

This isn’t the first of your videos I watched but I watched one of your videos by chance, then watched another, and kept watching videos, after a couple videos I subscribed because it’s safe to say I enjoy watching your content

Having the door art be close or the same pose to the pose of the character at the door is a great idea.

6:56 Sonic is that you???

Trust me, you absolutely NEED to read the fazbear frights books! Start off with something like fetch or step closer, they’re pretty tame in comparison to some of the others.

The 2:41 zoom on the little dolls sent me laughing. You absolutely read my mind on what I focused on first.

love that at 8:32 the door has spring bonnie painted on it with their head in basically the same position it was during the mini jumpscare
