    Some tidbits from the Reddit as of writing:
    -the Android version of the mobile port was updated a week before the book release, and someone has already put the files on the Reddit and found an image of a brown wall: no such brown wall/building exists in the game
    -New Harmony has a post office on a corner, it’s a 15 minute drive from Cedar City, is speculated to be where Charlie went to school, and is north of Hurricane City, which is where Silver Eyes took place
    -most of the FNAF games have likely taken place in Utah due to the location of the lawsuits
    -the ARG may have been cut because of the pandemic

    The fact that they are described as "scrapped stories" is really suspicious to me. As MatPat said, it's weird that they would be "scrapped", but still appear like normal. My first thought is that the books actually exist in the fnaf universe. I'm not saying that the stories are canon, but that the books themselves exist in the fnaf universe. Perhaps the stories from book 12 were things that Fazbear Entertainment didn't want the public thinking about. I don't know how plausible this idea is, but it might be worth considering.

    I think the reason why we're being stumped like this when it comes to FNAF was the fact that SB was delayed waaay too much that the books came out first.
    It may not seem much, but considering our thought processes during this whole shabang was we have the current new evidence (the games as they are released, or in much simpler terms piece 1) and from there pieces 2-nth would be given to us as we progress.
    But with SB, we were given Piece 2, not Piece 1, and that simple change in our formula was rocked so much that it's hard to see perspectives to create a coherent theory to piece things up
    Added the fact that the lore is quite dodgy and at times really obscure didn't help our confusion either
    But yeah, that's my take on this lmao

    I read Felix The Shark awhile ago and I remember the “flowers and butterflies” drawings very oddly dropped in the story. Like what was the point? However after digging in my FNAF notes journal (yes I have one, I’m a nerd) I saw that I noted Vanessa from Security Breach liked flowers from the cassettes. This may be a meaningless dead end but it was odd to me that both of these pieces of FNAF media mention “flowers” and the book written in Felix The Shark was written by the daughter of someone connected to Freddy Fazbear’s. I know it’s a stretch but could this be hinting to Vanessa being one of the children or at the very least connected to Henry/William? Just something to think about.

      It's the community- always has been. The music, the art, animations, Analog Horror series; it feels like we're really part of something, and FNAF's just the medium for that energy.

    The main thing that’s bothering me more than anything about this ARG is what’s the end point. Every ARG has a clear ending you’ve got to figure out. The Wilbur ARG was all about figuring out what Wilbur did. The Bill Cypher Hunt that Matt Pat mentioned in this video was all about finding Bill.
    So here’s my question what is the ARG about? What are we looking for? Is there anything even hinting towards an ARG outside of this book? Right now it feels like a scraped ARG, which is why this story was scrapped originally.

    FNaF having a IRL ARG would honestly be perfect for this series. One of the oldest rumors/hoaxed was the photoshopped real life Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. Speaking of that location, anyone know where the actual building is? Seems like it would be a great place to hide some sort of clue for anyone who’s been following this series from the beginning
    Edit: after seeing some thoughts on this theory on both the FNaF and Game Theory subreddit this doesn’t seem like the best idea. Sure going thru game files or the coloring book didn’t hurt anyone but actually going to an IRL location could have some negative consequences especially if they’re not tied to FNaF in any way

It also is a short distance by drive from New Harmony, Utah, which is where Fredbear's is located in the novels.

    It feels like they are hinting to another character to be introduced. Because Those quotes you mentioned at 11:40 seems like they are more directly connected to an character rather then the story's plot line. To which character i can only guess Glamrock Bonnie or one of the afton kids. It just seems like these games are surrounded by the children rather grown up or not. Plus from what heard about the books its also includes more kids both alive and dead.

    Dear MatPat, have you considered trying symbolism?
    The clues such as “Give me One, And I’ll make more” and “Follow the light to make things right” sounds more like an order for theorists than riddles to solve. I believe we need to take a different approach and actually map out the entire book series based on where and when each stories take place.

      Like how the game theorist from the 12 issue, she investigated Fnaf3 and discovered the location and found a dead body. Probably the answer is quite obvious but we aren’t seeing it from the right angle. The author for the dog whatever the book she wrote gave the protagonist the key that lead to another key that led to Felix the shark. Maybe we aren’t supposed to find the destiny but rather the path towards it.

    The colouring books make me wonder how you could hide something within the pages. An idea I had was perhaps there are white plastic lines within where you colour in on the paper and when you do it reveals something. Either that or you need to colour in exactly where the lines are and it reveals something that way. Honestly wouldn't surprise me if what's revealed is what appears to be some weird letters which make sense when looked at in a mirror. You would have to feel on each page to check if I'm onto something, but it's all I got right now.
