I put a Mirth clip in the video not knowing what they did. That’s my mistake for not doing more research on the creator and I would never promote them intentionally. I apologize.
Some theories I didn't mention due to time and clarity reasons (or I just forgor)
The Toy animatronics have scanners connected to a criminal database, this was done in hopes of catching William. After FNAF 2, the Toy animatronics are scrapped for parts and the Withered animatronics (Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Foxy, Chica, Golden Freddy) with the spirits of the Missing Children inside are moved to the FNAF 1 location, the location they died in.
There is a bit of confusion regarding if the FNAF 2 phone calls are prerecorded and not meant for Jeremy, as Phone Guy says “new summer job,” when the game takes place in November. Well, in the phone calls, Phone Guy addresses the listener as the second employee who’s worked there, and since Fritz is employee 3 as seen on his pink slip, this confirms that Jeremy is employee 2, confirming that Phone Guy is indeed talking to Jeremy.
The gameplay of FNAF 4 is not from the Crying Child’s perspective in the observation room that William built, but simply a dream. The reasons for this from a narrative perspective are sparse, but it makes sense for a couple of reasons. We see Mike’s drawing of Nightmare Fredbear in the Survival Logbook. This confirms Mike being the FNAF 4 player character, not Crying Child. This also means that William could have placed Michael in the observation room as well, just like he would later do with Crying Child. There are also a lot of weird elements in FNAF 4 that indicate it being a dream, which was likely the original intent. But since Scott retconned the Nightmare animatronics to be real in Sister Location, he needed another reason for FNAF 4’s dreamlike appearance. So, he decided to make Mike the player character of FNAF 4. Long story short, in 1983, Crying Child did indeed experience the horrors of very real Nightmare animatronics, but in 1993 during FNAF 1, Michael dreamed of the Nightmare animatronics coming to get him. This also satisfies a weird quota of Mike being the player character in every FNAF game until UCN. Cool, I guess.
Another mystery in this game is that at the end of each night in Sister Location, Mike goes home and watches his favorite show, The Immortal and the Restless. Like we said before, the show is a parallel to William and his wife’s relationship. But the thing that has always stumped me is the ending of the show. Even when all has gone to shit, Clara and Vlad still make up in the end. It seemed impossible. That’s when it hit me. It’s Mike’s favorite show. Survival Logbook page 30, when asked his favorite TV character, Mike writes, “Clara from “The Immortal and The Restless” because everything about this place is crazy and no one seems to notice except me. Mike looks up to Clara, and probably loves the show because it’s so similar to his own family’s situation, but this time, it has a happy ending. In the real world, his mother either committed suicide or died, or something, most likely due to her abusive husband William, but in the show, the parents make up. It’s the happy ending the Michael has always wanted.

Hey guys! Thank you so much for watching. I know that Game Theory has their timeline in the works currently, which I don't necessarily agree with but it definitely raises some great points . There are some things I didn't include for clarity and time reasons, I added them to the description. And remember all of this is subject to interpretation, I did this as a fun challenge. So no being condescending or mean. poopyheads EDIT: DDLC VIDEO IS OUT!! Go watch fanks 😘 ANOTHA EDIT: seeing a lot of ppl confused about the trans gregory line, gregory isnt actually trans but there was a mistranslation in one of the Tales stories in the books leading to a conclusion that he was trans. Admittedly not that funny but a reference to a community moment. I respect trans people and myself use he/they pronouns (AMAB) and am considering using he/she/they. Apologies if this offended anyone.
-
Can we just respect how this is exactly 1 hour long?
-
An absolutely hilarious and expertly made video that I didn’t have to rewind 100 times to figure out what the hell you were talking about. This was so well done, and a pleasure to watch.
-
33:00 you have no idea how much I appreciate someone finally mentioning that ITS NOT A SPRINGLOCK TRIGGER!!! it’s driven me crazy how everyone says the child’s tears triggered the springlocks when it’s already in animatronic mode. I feel so validated lmao
-
30:39 it's worth pointing out that in the same game Nightmare Freddy has a line saying "I have been given flesh to be your tormentor", which would imply more heavily that the first Nightmare animatronics were created by the illusion disks or some other way to make Crying Child hallucinate and then they were made "real" in William Afton's personal hell
-
It’s interesting seeing the differences between this and MatPats theory , a lot of parts can be changed and it shows how wide open the fnaf lore is.
-
I really wish Scott would come out with a "real" guide that explains everything from start to finish. I know that all the fun is in theory crafting and feeling great that you solve pieces of lore through puzzles, but the story has been through too many retcons and reboots that it's hard for new people to get into the game. Why are we still focused on missing information from the first game when we're in an entirely different "era" of Fnaf decades later in Security Breach. I would rather he lets out his version of the timeline so that everything is compact and nicely woven into a narrative so we can jump to the new story and not feel like we have to retread over and over again.
-
anyone else notice how the way the core 7 games are released DIRECTLY goes with the ways that the nights are structured? Theres 5 main games, a sixth game for exposition, and a custom night.
-
Here's a great way to sum up the FNAF lore: People being stuffed into robots, robots stuffing themselves into people, and a serial killer who defies the laws of reality.
-
5:17 FINALLY! Someone finally understands that these games were made up as they were being created. This is the definitive timeline in my eyes because you are the first person to realize that since the lore was made up with each title, the previous games can not be used to explain future ones. Thank you for creating an actual timeline that is clear to understand and not just making a 1 hour video that’s just incoherent rambling (matpat).
-
I'd like to add, the safe rooms were probably sealed because of the missing childrens incident happening. In 'pressure', one of the new stories from 'tales from the pizzaplex', it's mentioned that William murdered the kids in the safe room. So management attempted to seal the truth away by sealing everything that led to the kid's dissapearance.
-
Thank you for actually being critical of the story lmfao. Breath of fresh air tbh. I'd really like to hear Scott explain the lore himself sometime, because I genuinely don't believe he even knows anymore.
-
Extremely late but this video is so incredibly amazing omfg- you blew my mind dude, everything in fnaf has never made more sense than now. Tysm for taking the time to do this 😭🙏
-
The divorce theory and buried mother ALMOST makes sense, and I want to believe it… it seems to fit way better than anything else even if it has its own issues as well
-
I’m so glad someone actually uses evidence instead of inferring everything using cryptic signs, a total overhaul of the timeline is what we needed. Although I feel like some evidenced in fnaf 4 could be used for later games as later games may have taken insignificant details from fnaf 4 into account (such as the pigtail girl although I don’t believe in that). Scott could use stuff from previous games to retroactively leave breadcrumbs
-
This is Fr the best fnaf lore theory story, thanks for putting your time in this video, it is literally PERFECT❤
-
I totally agree with you, I recently started playing FNAF’S and I was looking for understanding into the story for my YouTube channel because I finished security breach and ruin and just bought the first eight games not the VR games yet and just stumbled across your video. your series hold up more than the ones that you were talking about and as someone who has Redcon his own writing, and still working on it today that’s exactly what he did. Don’t let anyone tell you different. Thanks again for making this video. I fell in love with a franchise myself recently and my viewers did too and I got new viewers from it.
-
This is the best timeline theory I've seen, it explains everything and has proves it with game evidence. The editing and humor is fantastic. ALSO FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONS THAT THE BITE OF '83 CAN'T BE SPRINGLOCK RELATED
-
thank you for recognising that scott isn't an omniscient story writer with god-like powers of precognition.
-
Ain't nothing beating this video unless Scott himself were to reveal the true timeline in a lengthy post, which to be honest, is never going to happen. I've watched this video countless times due to the pacing, editing, and storytelling that's presented. Makes the lore much easier to follow. All I can say, man, is you knocked it out of the park. Congrats on all your success, brother. God bless.
