The problem I always had with Illumix leaving the game is that they hyped up a lot of stuff, one of them was adding security breach characters after the release of the game. And they just left in the middle of that fake hype.
People didn't like the game anyway but I do understand that it sucks that they abandoned it without saying sorry. It's one of my favourite fnaf games and I feel like it's a little personal
Quite literally. ...and the man STILL hasn't finished his theory series on Petscop. And don't say it's because the last episodes pretty much made all stuff he said in the previous videos about AI generation completely pointless.
@@Mike14264 to paraphrase what's been said before, " there's too much going on in the series to keep track of, making the video difficult, and it would be hard to formulate a concise explanation, making it difficult for the non-petscop fans to follow."
It’s sad that fnaf ar was abandoned, it has a lot of potential, I loved the skins (even if there were lack of characters) the artists did a good job, lefty’s animations and model was made but sadly not released, I hope maybe one day, illumix will learn from their mistakes and return
Theres a new fnaf ar game made by fans called forsaken ar and it gets updated frequently. Theres also a LOT of new skins like scraptrap, and molten freddy
Great point that this game couldn't be played in one sitting. Miyamoto said something like "A good game captures your imagination in the first few minutes of play". If a game takes hours to get going, few players are going to come back
The blob being made up of AR animatronics would be a great explanation for the puppet's lack of tear tracks. If the AR animatronics are meant to be replicas of all the original/pre-withered ones, then of course the puppet wouldn't have them. It only got the tear tracks after going outside for Charlie and the rain made its face paint run.
And to add fnaf ar is used canon wise to order animatronics for peoples houses for birthdays and events so it's entirely possible it's them in the blob
Yeah same here. I still have the FNAF AR Special Delivery game installed on my phone, an I took a closer look at Funtime Freddy and compared IT too the one in FNAF Security Breach, I even took one last closer look at the blob an yeah... Those are literally AR versions of the Original animatronics just stuffed in there.
Actually I'm pretty sure the explanation for the tear tracks is that it's a sort of paranormal thing that showed up to show that Charlie was possessing it, kinda like seeing blood run down walls of places that are haunted.
Something about Fnaf AR that I still love is my history with the game, well, at least at the beginning. I remember Illumix posting snippets of the full alley image and Reddit piecing it together, and I was one of those people piecing it along with a friend. Then along came an opportunity to get the game earlier than others, and I was one of those who got it! As John mentioned in this video, this was a couple months after HW, and I remember saying to that friend as I was collecting dark remnant in the game that "Imagine if Glitchtrap jumped out at me," and we chuckled at that then not even a minute later, here comes Shadow Bonnie. We laughed so hard about that, and it's still my favorite memory with the franchise.
its not over yet man it got taken over by some fans they update the game with new skins caracters and bug fixes so if you ever want to play it again i reccommend trying it
he does not want to make a video on AR because if he would take some of it as canon he would have to acknowledge that every skin and goofy skin is canon and he doesn't want to
I did think that people were very harsh on Illumix. They were making this game when covid was happening. They brought out weekly updates for a game that is very complicated and hard to code. And they partnered up with Disney to make an AR game so they needed some time to plan that out and make it. Alot of people just kept complaining about why they have hardly done anything and are being ungrateful for the full entertaining year of 2020 that illumix worked so hard on. I will admit I am also annoyed that they have not done anything for over a year now and they haven't said why. But I do understand that they must be very annoyed and scared because of how the fan base been treating them.
While I do understand Illumix, they did promise to add Lefty, but abandoned the game without saying a word. The fan base was overly harsh on them and the stress they were put under isn’t fair, but if you’re going to promise to add something, get the assets completed and the coding done and have everything ready for implementation but abandon the game without even a goodbye, then that’s kinda…. Not fair either.
A friend of mine was at the charity stream. After talking to an employee for a while he said to me that the employee told me there are plans for FNAF AR. I hope he is right.
This video is the exact reason I have dropped making anything with FNAF lore. Things are extremely complicated to research, the books have some very valuable information that is. I have been replaying FNAF SB, and stopping to look at things every once and a while that I never noticed on first play thru, Like the Freddy Schematic at the top of the stairs from the Sticky note room.
5:50 That "shadowy remnant" isn't remnant at all! It's another similar thing called Agony! Look in the wiki! There may not be an official page, bur it is mentioned on The Blob's page.
@@venomfan2020it makes sense. Agony and remnant are what creates manifestations of spirits, and only kids can produce remnant. Since shadow Bonnie is presumed to be the soul of the victim of a springlock failure, it’s what makes the most sense.
This is why I think it's kind of critical going forward for the story to be contained to main series games and shown on screen. It's too unwieldy and too expensive to have to hunt through a billion scattered sources. They can still have secret puzzles to solve and easter eggs for people to look for that contain extra information, but all critical information should be on screen and playable from Ruin forward. The playing field needs to be leveled for newcomers and people who might have missed some entries. The idea of the multiple sources was cute at first, but a person should not have to buy an extra book or dig up a defunct mobile game to understand the game they just spent $40 on. That game should be a complete experience. It doesn't have to explain all previous games in the timeline, but you should not walk away from it confused about what was going on. I've bought sequels without playing their prequels before, and even if I didn't understand the greater scope of the series, I knew what was happening in my game that I bought, and was able to follow its story completely.
This is one of the few communities that actually *gets* that's a problem. With franchises like Halo, Mass Effect, Star Wars, Star Trek, Firefly (while that was briefly around) and such, if you say something about the cross media spam and huge plot points being revealed completely outside the main franchise source, people just scoff or mock you for it.
@@KiraSlith Kingdom Hearts a had a game, that was apparently very important to the lore, restricted to a japanese-only mid 2000s mobile release. You can't play that thing anymore. Honestly, I think that one takes the cake.
@@KiraSlith I can't speak for the others, but Star Wars wasn't really that at all. It had a huge expanded universe, but nothing about them was required to understand the story of the movies. It's especially not a thing now that Disney made all the side media non-canon aside from Clone Wars and the stuff they produced.
@@PlayerZeroStart And Union X. There's another mobile game that square Enix wants to release soon. If you want to know how Xehanort became evil, you have to play a mobile game too.
Another critical facet of SB lore is hidden in the AR emails. While near the final boss in the "true" ending of SB, Freddy does hint that he Glamrock animatronics started to behave weird after visiting the FNaF 6 building, to most first time players, the Glamrocks would seem to become murderous for no particular reason. However the emails from AR reveal the reason to us, that the Afton virus was uploaded to Fazbear Inc.'s main animatronic servers so all the replicas are now under his control, which Vanny later does to the Glamrocks as stated in one of the CDs. Without AR, it wouldn't be confirmed Afton had control of them, just that he was in the Pizzaplex systems, which might have just been part of the process of getting him uploaded to his old body.
I played FNAF AR for a week or so but haven't played since and only ended up watching gameplay from Dawko + Fuzion on new characters/updates, even when I heard there was lore I just ended up reading the Reddit or watched some videos - honestly when I heard it was being abandoned I didn't even realize it was still going. It wasn't even necessarily a bad game, I remember enjoying it, but being between Help Wanted (which was my favourite FNAF game) and the biggest most-anticipated FNAF game coming out soon in 2020 (well, meaning to) while itself not seeming to have much lore at the time, it didn't really feel like a "main" FNAF game, which I personally think (along with the time commitment you talk about) made it easier to miss and just skim over for even hardcore fans... but that's just my two cents on the topic :P Also during those first 40 seconds I kept nodding my head the entire time hahaha
This was a good video. I was aware how important the Fnaf Ar game was to the lore but understood that it was to time consuming for anyone to get into it. Not to mention how the Mobile game was handle in general. Scott Cawthon did say that he knew eventually the fans would dig up the remaining emails in the source code. So I guess he was expecting us to get the remaining information ourselves but still Fnaf Ar lore was not handle properly which sucks as it seems to be Super Important to Modern Fnaf.
Digging through game files is a bridge too far. I mean, remember how he used to hide messages in the source code for his website? That was fair game to me, even if it was a little much to find, but scouring an actual entire game - and one that got frequent updates at that - is way too much to expect people to find. Also, I believe that could technically be deemed piracy in some places depending on how the laws regarding replication and datamining are defined since hacking into a game’s code and copying it outside of it is a pretty gray zone if memory serves.
@@scarymeunster9095 I agree but we still kept doing it for years now . And theorist use the things that we find in the source code to make up new theories. At this point it wouldn’t surprise me if Scott is now using the codes in his games to tell a hidden story or manipulate people into a false narrative. Like that whole Vanny becoming Vanessa mode in The Security Breach files. Did he put that their to confirm that they are the same or to manipulate people into thinking they are the same. And What about Cassidy Princess Quest.
@@KavinCatastrophe Interesting thing about Cassidy Princess Quest is that I believe in the first major update that name was actually removed and the Princess' filename was changed back to just "Princess." So it's no longer called Cassidy.
@@legoboy7107 Yeah but it was still there long enough for people to discover it and start talking about it. They may have “removed” it but why name your files like that unless you wanted to get people attention. Cassidy is one of the most mysterious characters in Fnaf. That like dangling a meat in front of a dog and then taking it away for a laugh.
Illumix has their reasons to not update the game right now. On their recent 24-hour livestream they said that they're in a spot where they can't really say anything whatsoever about its development. They never classified it as abandoned or whatever else means not updating the game ever again. It's just on a huge hiatus, I think.
It’s because it’s just a fad. Once the novelty wears off of seeing characters in your house (because let’s be honest, no one plays these games in public) it’s pointless. Plus with them being mobile games they’re riddled with overpriced microtransactions meaning if you somehow keep wanting to play, you’ll have to fork over far more money than is reasonable for the full experience. And speaking of playing in your house and not in public, if you’re going to play a fnaf game you have to pay for in your home you might as well play literally any other game in the series which isn’t hard since most of them are readily available on even last gen consoles as well as mobile.
I think you've nailed the issue with Fnaf lore. I have a theory that for whatever reason, SW scrapped their original plan/plot for Security Breach at some point. Perhaps the AR game drew too few people and they realised people were not getting the lore and engaging as planned. If they had planned it as the way to deliver an ARG/SB teasers, low numbers may have wrecked their plans. Maybe they realised it wasn't sustainable or a worthwhile investment and they decided against growing/pushing the game and making it a key pillar of the series lore. It's also possible there were plot changes to make the game less violent ("you are broken/bleeding") and they decided against explicitly having Vanessa/Vanny show potential violent tendencies as a character. If that's the case, perhaps they even scrapped AR's lore completely. Who knows whether to regard it?
That's what I love-to-hate about Five Nights at Freddy's. It's fun and interesting, but it isn't welcoming at all for new players and/or fans. If you're not into researching beyond what you're getting in the actual game(s) you're playing, it just isn't for you. The same if you're willing to spend more time and money into outside media such as books. It's just sad that even if you do, you still don't know what's going on and you're not getting a detailed story being told to you. At least not anymore, not since Pizzeria Simulator at least. In my opinion, this isn't something exclusive to FNaF AR or Security Breach. The entire game series isn't welcoming to anyone without interest beyond what you get on the actual games and if we're being honest, you don't get all of it on the games.
@@aubergineman3205Not really. You can play the main Assassin's Creed games (just to name one example) and you will get the story of the game. You don't need to read any of the books, dig into website codes, etc. to figure our what the name of a character is or have a vague idea of what the next game will look like. Try playing just the main FNaF games *for the first time* and just like FuhNaff said, you're still going to walk out not really getting what happened and what's currently going on. It's part of what makes Five Nights at Freddy's special. There's more than what you see. ...but there's no denying it's not for everyone and it's hard for newcomers to truly enjoy the games for their storytelling.
That’s why to me the game started with FNAF 1 and ended with Pizzeria Simulator imo. You don’t need the books or to dig in files and source codes to understand the lore if you’re just playing the first six games, plus you can get a decent story out of them and a pretty satisfactory ending as well. It’s incredibly hard to top Henry's speech at the end of Pizzeria Simulator and judging from the latest game, Security Breach, it probably won’t ever be topped. Meanwhile all the other games after PS only serve to make the story worse, and the books don’t help in that regard either. At this point the only reason why I even watch FNAF theories is to see how this dumpster fire ends lol.
@@louisaniathemagnificent8246 Except for the fact that if you're not looking outside the games, you don't know who "Henry" is and why he just shows up in this game. You don't know who Elizabeth is why she wouldn't remember her name. You don't know why Baby is back and why she looks so different, or why there's a black bear that shushes you and another bear made of scraps of metal and piping. Same with Sister location. If you don't look outside the games, you don't know who Afton is or why he's important or why this game takes place in an underground facility or why you're in a random living room after every night or-
The FNAF AR emails could just be dumped into the Security Breach game files via an update. It's a bit of a pity that they might kinda fall out of circulation.
I remember back in 2014 when there is only one game and the theory was that I was based off of a shooting or some sort of killing in a Chuck E. Cheese after it closed, and that just fit even when I go back and watch that theory I still get chills. It just worked really well but then it got more complicated after the third game I would say. You it used to feel very connected like I understood the story but now I feel lost I’m very disconnected I’ve stopped caring about the games only because people keep making theories, even though we were right and Scott decide to change his mind. I want to stop, and think maybe there isn’t any lore. Maybe it’s just a creepy horror game which just seems to have lore but is just creepy for atmosphere. God I miss the old days.
I don't remember if I read this or heard it anywhere, but the version of Funtime Freddy in the blob is specifically the version from FNAF AR, with it's completely different looking endoskeleton whenever it pops its faceplates open compared to the Sister Location or Help Wanted counterpart. Could be looking too far into it and it was probably just a design change who knows anymore lol
@@mkks4559 As a FNaF Fandom Veteran who joined in 2014, I can say with full confidence that not even the 9 year old filled days of 2015 were this toxic and this hectic. If you told 9 year old me that something like The Pear is going to be a thing, or that the fandom would get this elitist and wild, I would have laughed in your face.
I bought the book at the store it has details on everything and it was very helpful for just a good sit down and read about lots of different things, way to beat games, and lore and secrets that I missed or was just to lazy to find or deal with, and I read all the emails through that book it’s such a cute book and has got a lot of helpful things written down in it and the recipes are so cute!
Hey, maybe the cancelation of Fnaf AR is something "canon" in this way. The game released before Security Breach, so the service was intended to collect remnant to deliver to the mall, after that, it didn't had any importance so the service closed
I just saw the title, the video didnt even got past first 20sec and all im hearing in my head is "ILLUMIIIIIIIIIIIX!!!". I never was so sure whats coming next in a video.
I can’t believe it’s been a year since it was abandoned, I never got into it but I do like how it tied in with the Vanny storyline so if you’re someone who couldn’t afford a VR game, you still got to see some story and I like the direction they were trying to go in with the AR. That being said, I can totally see why it was not well received and I wish they would’ve done more in that sense and I also wish that they hadn’t just abandoned it I feel like if they were honest about shutting down or what was going on. We all take it a lot easier, but considering they have said nothing it just sucks and from a fan/story standpoint it’s even worse because you spent like two or three years building up this Vanny character just to have her not pay off in security breach and if you want to go back to one of the games that goes to talk about her lore, it’s pretty much a buggy and gone.
The big problem with mobile games is that they're monetized based on the richest of the users. The free users will get an experience but the whales are being charged to pay for the whole thing. It's a very lopsided equation that is built into the monetization model on purpose, and part of the pitch to investors. I'm not sure if Scott and the FNAF AR team realized the extent to which micropurchase-based mobile games have an uneven playing field and a very unbalanced user experience by design. That's the only reason for "daily" type gameplay instead of binge-style gameplay and it looks like they didn't properly think of who the audience was for FNAF the series, who won't be able to fully engage with this type of material. From the corporate side, microtransaction games always about "leveraging a market" or "targeting the right demographic," it's never about the series or its integrity. I wonder who made the calls when it came to FNAF AR's overall game design, and if maybe someone just didn't stop to examine whether the microtransaction-based market was even appropriate for this series and its younger audience.
FNAF and Kingdom hearts have the same issue where there are too many plot holes and many elements getting retcon in some way and needing to play/read other media just to somewhat understand the story, at this point in the FNAF franchise they need to start giving us more answers instead of many questions. They also need to let William stay dead and let a new villain to take over because now he's not really a threat just annoying 🤣 I'm hoping that if they ever decide to reboot the series they return the horror elements.
FINALLY someone with influence presented the theory that the Blob is an amalgamation specifically of FNAF AR animatronics (I haven't seen your timeline video yet so this is my first time seeing this). That's an idea I've been considering for a long time at this point, idk if I initially thought of it myself or heard it from some other random person's TH-cam comment but it's been in the back of my head for some time now, but no one with any actual voice seemed to bring the idea up as far as I could tell. This is nice to see...even if it's just yet another theory of what the heck the Blob is to add to the pile.
I found FNaF AR to be a really fun game, I didn’t find it to be lore heavy when I first played it. It sucks that it was abandoned by the developers, but hopefully they will return and fix the problems with it (probably not going to happen).
I feel fnaf ar was a huge commitment, and wasnt executed properly. It could have been so much better, but since its a mobile game, some scummy companies are going to try and squeeze every cent out of the game. I know they were trying to do the AR thing after the VR thing did somwell, but i feel it was rushed and overdone. And besides, why hide so much LLOORE in a mobile game?
The modern time line really is a pain especially with fnaf vr and sb feeling like a massive retcon. It's starting to throw me off but I'm trying to ignore it while struggling to keep the memory of the lore from 1 all the way to pizza sim. I mean the fnaf lore could make a perfect college class and it's funny because a dude subbed a college class for a day to explain the fnaf lore with a quiz in the end lol.
So I ran a discord server that was moderately big for the FNAF AR community to share their mods for the game, and it was thriving for awhile, but when the game slowly stopped getting content, the current owner made their own game, and now more people are playing it instead of FNAF AR I'm not going to name it but its very popular right now and they have their own separate discord server from the one I used to be involved with and ran most of the time It's run by pretty prominent TH-camrs in the FNAF AR community if you just would like new content and gameplay, although I have not kept up with development very much because I left the community awhile back, just stayed in contact with close pals from there Just was kind of nice to see the game being talked about by ya! but good video as always
they're not offended, that unfortunately happens to a lot of mobile games, toxic fandoms and apps cost money to keep running and some things are just not profitable or sustainable, the real offense is people upset they abandonded it but also didnt play it
I’ve been watching your videos to have conversation topics with my little brother and you definitely make everything understandable for beginners/newcomers. I really enjoy watching them!
Have u ever thought that the game was deleted because it was apart of lore. Seems weird that Scott didn't say anything about it and the company started selling crypto or smthn. Maybe it was because of the company (in the game) going bankrupt and in turn the game being deleted. Its either me going crazy or a great story telling jump.
Much like you I wasn't big on FnaF AR and just skipped over it. If anything the different skins that were revealed captivated me the most about the game.
OK FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS THIS. I think way past after FNAF AR came out I only heard of it. I was so confused as to when did it come out. I thought it was a fan game and just ignored looking into it more then I watch some matpat theories and I see FNAF AR brought up, so much important lore and I never heard of it until later on
I'm playing Forsaken AR, and I love it! I love that they're adding new characters often and other cool things. I'm hoping they add SB characters since Illumix never did
I don’t think FNAF AR has been abandoned but I do feel a bit of concern. I’ve actually began to notice something. Any time I watch TH-cam videos of people reacting to all of the fnaf trailers, there’s one game that is usually forgotten in the video and that is FNAF AR. I honestly made so many good memories with 2020 FNAF AR and loved the skins that were released. I remember being excited to find out what the next skin or character would be and I especially love what they did with Golden Freddy’s release. I never really understood the hate Illumix got in 2020 given the circumstances that we were all in and felt that FNAF AR fans in 2020 were too harsh. I really do love FNAF AR and I wish the best for Illumix but I can’t help but feel a bit concerned.
There is a game called *forsaken ar*its like fnaf ar but they update it every 2 weeks and they add such good skins like,geode frostbear,endo-02,rainbow freddy and so much more,so you can still play fnaf ar and have fun!
I personally didn't like the repetitive gameplay of Five Nights At Freddy's AR Special Delivery but there was a tone of lore which was amazing to discover! I also loved the skins, some skins even became my favourite non-canon FNAF characters. I just wish it wasn't so underrated and that the events got much more attention, these skins have the least amount of fanart and all the possibilities of these events can be such great scenarios for fan-made-stories whether it's songs, fanfictions, or animation series on TH-cam... I'm disappointed in the missed opportunities for amazing and original ideas all from those events...
It might sound dumb. But I still have hope in FNAF AR. I mean, Scott hasn't said anything about FNAF AR getting abandoned or anything. Sure Scott retired. But Scott has to say something, right?
I dipped for a bit from your videos but- This was such a well put together but still time effective video. Loved your thoughts on this, enjoyed the video ♥️
I still remember the day FNAF AR released: I was at my cousins house and I woke up to him shaking me awake and he just says “It’s out.” and we both IMMEDIATELY grabbed our phones to download it and played it together all day. It was so fun, I really miss going over to his house.

7:46 I totally agree. Like, I understood it at first, but then...? It just branched out into the roots of chaos. Too hard to understand most anything in the new games.
If you play the most recent FNAF game, you'll be lost If you play the VR version which is a remaster of all previous games, you'll be lost If you play ALL of the games, read all the books, & even bought all the merchandise... *you'll still be lost* there is no clarity in -ba sing se- FNaF
I’m only at the beginning of the video but OMG YES. Anyone else just fucking blink and suddenly everyone’s talking about “afton” and all his family like it’s been around the whole time??? WHERE DID AFTON COME FROM???
I just woke up and immediately clicked this video. I'm definitely gonna have to watch it a second time to take in the information because brainhole is sleepy. 💀☕
BRAINHOLE IS CAFFEINATED I'm going to spend my day off sitting in bed to watch FNAF theories while I drink my coffee and possibly beat a shrine in Breath Of The Wild that I've been too chicken to go back to. Y'all have a great day! 💖☕
The people who scanned those circuit boards were probably users of the animatronic delivery service and they just scrapped the bots that showed up for money and the boards wound up being used for the VR game
Sigh. I wanted to like this game. But it was so buggy! The constant crashing would break my streaks, so I couldn't make any progress. It wasn't fun, it was just frustrating, so I gave up on it.
that bit about the Blob from Security Breach was interesting but there's one part on the Blob that came from an animatronic that wasn't in FNAF AR, that being The Puppet since you can see it's mask as part of the Blob (though the mask is in a withered state without the purple stripes underneath the eyes. and as we all know, The Puppet wasn't in FNAF AR (then again neither was it's counterparts Phantom Puppet and Nightmarionne). And judging from the withered state of the mask, it could have come from Lefty since he was burned in the fire Henry set to free the souls from Molten Freddy, Scrap Baby, and Scraptrap (Afton), but as we saw in Security Breach the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place that Pizzeria Simulator/FNAF 6 took place at survived the fire, could it be possible that's where the Blob got the puppet mask from? (and potentially remnant from Charlie before she ascended to the afterlife?)
I realized that the particular animatronics inside the blob are all from FNAF AR-- it's not picked at random. Bonnie, Chica, Circus Baby, Mangle, Funtime Freddy and even that random endo are all from FNAF AR!
I’m still playing FNAF AR and the season events are still cycling on and on! It’s still playable but just won’t get updated! I have Freddy, Black Ice Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, BB, Endo-01, and VR Toy Freddy! So yeah, still playable! And if you want a FNAF AR game that still updates.. play FORESAKEN AR! (With the risk of breaking your phone)
I find it fitting that Illumix abandoned FnaF AR out of the blue, it's literally something the company in the game would do if things weren't going right for them, but they did it in real life.

where? where is the joke?
Great point that this game couldn't be played in one sitting. Miyamoto said something like "A good game captures your imagination in the first few minutes of play". If a game takes hours to get going, few players are going to come back
Or as the great Reggie Fils-Aimé once said “If it’s not fun, then why bother”
The blob being made up of AR animatronics would be a great explanation for the puppet's lack of tear tracks. If the AR animatronics are meant to be replicas of all the original/pre-withered ones, then of course the puppet wouldn't have them. It only got the tear tracks after going outside for Charlie and the rain made its face paint run.
And to add fnaf ar is used canon wise to order animatronics for peoples houses for birthdays and events so it's entirely possible it's them in the blob
Wouldn’t Foxy be fixed though?
Yeah same here. I still have the FNAF AR Special Delivery game installed on my phone, an I took a closer look at Funtime Freddy and compared IT too the one in FNAF Security Breach, I even took one last closer look at the blob an yeah... Those are literally AR versions of the Original animatronics just stuffed in there.
Actually I'm pretty sure the explanation for the tear tracks is that it's a sort of paranormal thing that showed up to show that Charlie was possessing it, kinda like seeing blood run down walls of places that are haunted.

Something about Fnaf AR that I still love is my history with the game, well, at least at the beginning. I remember Illumix posting snippets of the full alley image and Reddit piecing it together, and I was one of those people piecing it along with a friend. Then along came an opportunity to get the game earlier than others, and I was one of those who got it! As John mentioned in this video, this was a couple months after HW, and I remember saying to that friend as I was collecting dark remnant in the game that "Imagine if Glitchtrap jumped out at me," and we chuckled at that then not even a minute later, here comes Shadow Bonnie. We laughed so hard about that, and it's still my favorite memory with the franchise.
It’s a shame that such an ambitious game got abandoned.
What a time we live in!
its not over yet man it got taken over by some fans they update the game with new skins caracters and bug fixes so if you ever want to play it again i reccommend trying it
It didn't get abandoned. This guy is full of shit.
@@Anti-HyperLink dude it got abandoned
I never really enjoyed it.
Has Matpat ever made a theory specifically on FNAF AR? If he hasn’t then he really should, it has a lot of theory potential for him
He's mentioned some of the emails in the leadup to security breach, but he's never done a direct theory on the game itself.
He mentioned something about not taking it seriously since theres all the funky skins in one of his latest videos, could be wrong tho
he does not want to make a video on AR because if he would take some of it as canon he would have to acknowledge that every skin and goofy skin is canon and he doesn't want to
@@rubi7959 Ohhh ok, too bad Matpat doesn’t care about FNAF AR… he could’ve come up with some crazy theories for the game
Idk. His laste theories about sb was awful. Like how the hell glamrock freddy is mike and gregory in crying child??! They died in Fnaf 6.
Footage from your first playthrough of SB has done WORK for your videos in the past year
pft
I did think that people were very harsh on Illumix. They were making this game when covid was happening. They brought out weekly updates for a game that is very complicated and hard to code. And they partnered up with Disney to make an AR game so they needed some time to plan that out and make it. Alot of people just kept complaining about why they have hardly done anything and are being ungrateful for the full entertaining year of 2020 that illumix worked so hard on. I will admit I am also annoyed that they have not done anything for over a year now and they haven't said why. But I do understand that they must be very annoyed and scared because of how the fan base been treating them.
Absolutely true, but people are so quick to judge sadly.
While I do understand Illumix, they did promise to add Lefty, but abandoned the game without saying a word. The fan base was overly harsh on them and the stress they were put under isn’t fair, but if you’re going to promise to add something, get the assets completed and the coding done and have everything ready for implementation but abandon the game without even a goodbye, then that’s kinda…. Not fair either.
A friend of mine was at the charity stream. After talking to an employee for a while he said to me that the employee told me there are plans for FNAF AR. I hope he is right.
they might do a mass remake/reboot since there is overwhelming dislike for it rn
Nah, FNAF AR is dead at this point
I'll believe it when I see it.
@@labrat5457 if they do that they better transfer all the stuff to the new game cuz otherwise a lot of people will be out a lot of money
This video is the exact reason I have dropped making anything with FNAF lore. Things are extremely complicated to research, the books have some very valuable information that is. I have been replaying FNAF SB, and stopping to look at things every once and a while that I never noticed on first play thru, Like the Freddy Schematic at the top of the stairs from the Sticky note room.
Understandable
I liked the lore when it was about stabby plum man and dead kiddins

5:50 That "shadowy remnant" isn't remnant at all! It's another similar thing called Agony! Look in the wiki! There may not be an official page, bur it is mentioned on The Blob's page.
Makes sense. Shadow Bonnie is an agony creature so it would make sense that collecting agony would make him appear
@@ipplays8617 wait, Shadow Bonnie is Agony? And what about Shadow Freddy? Is he also Agony? I didn't know that!
@@venomfan2020it makes sense. Agony and remnant are what creates manifestations of spirits, and only kids can produce remnant. Since shadow Bonnie is presumed to be the soul of the victim of a springlock failure, it’s what makes the most sense.
This is why I think it's kind of critical going forward for the story to be contained to main series games and shown on screen. It's too unwieldy and too expensive to have to hunt through a billion scattered sources. They can still have secret puzzles to solve and easter eggs for people to look for that contain extra information, but all critical information should be on screen and playable from Ruin forward. The playing field needs to be leveled for newcomers and people who might have missed some entries.
The idea of the multiple sources was cute at first, but a person should not have to buy an extra book or dig up a defunct mobile game to understand the game they just spent $40 on. That game should be a complete experience. It doesn't have to explain all previous games in the timeline, but you should not walk away from it confused about what was going on. I've bought sequels without playing their prequels before, and even if I didn't understand the greater scope of the series, I knew what was happening in my game that I bought, and was able to follow its story completely.
This is one of the few communities that actually *gets* that's a problem. With franchises like Halo, Mass Effect, Star Wars, Star Trek, Firefly (while that was briefly around) and such, if you say something about the cross media spam and huge plot points being revealed completely outside the main franchise source, people just scoff or mock you for it.
@@KiraSlith Kingdom Hearts a had a game, that was apparently very important to the lore, restricted to a japanese-only mid 2000s mobile release. You can't play that thing anymore. Honestly, I think that one takes the cake.
@@manticore6963 Are you referring to Coded? Cause that got rereleased on the DS as Re:Coded, and the cutscenes are available in the 2.5 collection.
@@KiraSlith I can't speak for the others, but Star Wars wasn't really that at all. It had a huge expanded universe, but nothing about them was required to understand the story of the movies. It's especially not a thing now that Disney made all the side media non-canon aside from Clone Wars and the stuff they produced.
@@PlayerZeroStart And Union X. There's another mobile game that square Enix wants to release soon. If you want to know how Xehanort became evil, you have to play a mobile game too.
Another critical facet of SB lore is hidden in the AR emails. While near the final boss in the "true" ending of SB, Freddy does hint that he Glamrock animatronics started to behave weird after visiting the FNaF 6 building, to most first time players, the Glamrocks would seem to become murderous for no particular reason. However the emails from AR reveal the reason to us, that the Afton virus was uploaded to Fazbear Inc.'s main animatronic servers so all the replicas are now under his control, which Vanny later does to the Glamrocks as stated in one of the CDs. Without AR, it wouldn't be confirmed Afton had control of them, just that he was in the Pizzaplex systems, which might have just been part of the process of getting him uploaded to his old body.
I played FNAF AR for a week or so but haven't played since and only ended up watching gameplay from Dawko + Fuzion on new characters/updates, even when I heard there was lore I just ended up reading the Reddit or watched some videos - honestly when I heard it was being abandoned I didn't even realize it was still going. It wasn't even necessarily a bad game, I remember enjoying it, but being between Help Wanted (which was my favourite FNAF game) and the biggest most-anticipated FNAF game coming out soon in 2020 (well, meaning to) while itself not seeming to have much lore at the time, it didn't really feel like a "main" FNAF game, which I personally think (along with the time commitment you talk about) made it easier to miss and just skim over for even hardcore fans... but that's just my two cents on the topic :P
Also during those first 40 seconds I kept nodding my head the entire time hahaha
This was a good video. I was aware how important the Fnaf Ar game was to the lore but understood that it was to time consuming for anyone to get into it. Not to mention how the Mobile game was handle in general.
Scott Cawthon did say that he knew eventually the fans would dig up the remaining emails in the source code. So I guess he was expecting us to get the remaining information ourselves but still Fnaf Ar lore was not handle properly which sucks as it seems to be Super Important to Modern Fnaf.
Digging through game files is a bridge too far. I mean, remember how he used to hide messages in the source code for his website? That was fair game to me, even if it was a little much to find, but scouring an actual entire game - and one that got frequent updates at that - is way too much to expect people to find. Also, I believe that could technically be deemed piracy in some places depending on how the laws regarding replication and datamining are defined since hacking into a game’s code and copying it outside of it is a pretty gray zone if memory serves.
@@scarymeunster9095 I agree but we still kept doing it for years now . And theorist use the things that we find in the source code to make up new theories. At this point it wouldn’t surprise me if Scott is now using the codes in his games to tell a hidden story or manipulate people into a false narrative. Like that whole Vanny becoming Vanessa mode in The Security Breach files. Did he put that their to confirm that they are the same or to manipulate people into thinking they are the same. And What about Cassidy Princess Quest.
@@KavinCatastrophe Interesting thing about Cassidy Princess Quest is that I believe in the first major update that name was actually removed and the Princess' filename was changed back to just "Princess." So it's no longer called Cassidy.
@@legoboy7107 Yeah but it was still there long enough for people to discover it and start talking about it. They may have “removed” it but why name your files like that unless you wanted to get people attention. Cassidy is one of the most mysterious characters in Fnaf. That like dangling a meat in front of a dog and then taking it away for a laugh.
Illumix has their reasons to not update the game right now. On their recent 24-hour livestream they said that they're in a spot where they can't really say anything whatsoever about its development. They never classified it as abandoned or whatever else means not updating the game ever again. It's just on a huge hiatus, I think.
I'm beginning to notice a pattern with popular game franchises making mobile, GPS-based AR games, then abandoning them.
(I'm referring to FNAF AR and Minecraft Earth)
@@ItsEv Bendy has that nightmare run too
It’s because it’s just a fad. Once the novelty wears off of seeing characters in your house (because let’s be honest, no one plays these games in public) it’s pointless. Plus with them being mobile games they’re riddled with overpriced microtransactions meaning if you somehow keep wanting to play, you’ll have to fork over far more money than is reasonable for the full experience. And speaking of playing in your house and not in public, if you’re going to play a fnaf game you have to pay for in your home you might as well play literally any other game in the series which isn’t hard since most of them are readily available on even last gen consoles as well as mobile.
@@ItsEv they made a minecraft one too?
The internet is a fad, and most people just give up on it.
Daily Mail Newspaper, Dec. 5, 2000
I think you've nailed the issue with Fnaf lore. I have a theory that for whatever reason, SW scrapped their original plan/plot for Security Breach at some point. Perhaps the AR game drew too few people and they realised people were not getting the lore and engaging as planned. If they had planned it as the way to deliver an ARG/SB teasers, low numbers may have wrecked their plans. Maybe they realised it wasn't sustainable or a worthwhile investment and they decided against growing/pushing the game and making it a key pillar of the series lore. It's also possible there were plot changes to make the game less violent ("you are broken/bleeding") and they decided against explicitly having Vanessa/Vanny show potential violent tendencies as a character. If that's the case, perhaps they even scrapped AR's lore completely. Who knows whether to regard it?
I have a test tomorrow but this is more important.
I start school again tomorrow but I agree
I thought I was the only one 😅
Good luck on your test.👍
Wishing you best of luck!!
@@JexyFoxx hey me too
That's what I love-to-hate about Five Nights at Freddy's. It's fun and interesting, but it isn't welcoming at all for new players and/or fans.
If you're not into researching beyond what you're getting in the actual game(s) you're playing, it just isn't for you. The same if you're willing to spend more time and money into outside media such as books. It's just sad that even if you do, you still don't know what's going on and you're not getting a detailed story being told to you. At least not anymore, not since Pizzeria Simulator at least.
In my opinion, this isn't something exclusive to FNaF AR or Security Breach. The entire game series isn't welcoming to anyone without interest beyond what you get on the actual games and if we're being honest, you don't get all of it on the games.
That's literally every game in existence though.
If a Chad video game enjoyer doesn't understand the lore, we have the internet for that!
@@aubergineman3205Not really. You can play the main Assassin's Creed games (just to name one example) and you will get the story of the game. You don't need to read any of the books, dig into website codes, etc. to figure our what the name of a character is or have a vague idea of what the next game will look like.
Try playing just the main FNaF games *for the first time* and just like FuhNaff said, you're still going to walk out not really getting what happened and what's currently going on. It's part of what makes Five Nights at Freddy's special. There's more than what you see.
...but there's no denying it's not for everyone and it's hard for newcomers to truly enjoy the games for their storytelling.
That’s why to me the game started with FNAF 1 and ended with Pizzeria Simulator imo. You don’t need the books or to dig in files and source codes to understand the lore if you’re just playing the first six games, plus you can get a decent story out of them and a pretty satisfactory ending as well. It’s incredibly hard to top Henry's speech at the end of Pizzeria Simulator and judging from the latest game, Security Breach, it probably won’t ever be topped.
Meanwhile all the other games after PS only serve to make the story worse, and the books don’t help in that regard either. At this point the only reason why I even watch FNAF theories is to see how this dumpster fire ends lol.
@@louisaniathemagnificent8246 Except for the fact that if you're not looking outside the games, you don't know who "Henry" is and why he just shows up in this game. You don't know who Elizabeth is why she wouldn't remember her name. You don't know why Baby is back and why she looks so different, or why there's a black bear that shushes you and another bear made of scraps of metal and piping. Same with Sister location. If you don't look outside the games, you don't know who Afton is or why he's important or why this game takes place in an underground facility or why you're in a random living room after every night or-
@@prince_chavv02 i have barely read the books or any outside media beyond the games, while i don't know all of the lore i know a decent amount
The FNAF AR emails could just be dumped into the Security Breach game files via an update. It's a bit of a pity that they might kinda fall out of circulation.
I remember back in 2014 when there is only one game and the theory was that I was based off of a shooting or some sort of killing in a Chuck E. Cheese after it closed, and that just fit even when I go back and watch that theory I still get chills. It just worked really well but then it got more complicated after the third game I would say. You it used to feel very connected like I understood the story but now I feel lost I’m very disconnected I’ve stopped caring about the games only because people keep making theories, even though we were right and Scott decide to change his mind. I want to stop, and think maybe there isn’t any lore. Maybe it’s just a creepy horror game which just seems to have lore but is just creepy for atmosphere. God I miss the old days.
I don't remember if I read this or heard it anywhere, but the version of Funtime Freddy in the blob is specifically the version from FNAF AR, with it's completely different looking endoskeleton whenever it pops its faceplates open compared to the Sister Location or Help Wanted counterpart. Could be looking too far into it and it was probably just a design change who knows anymore lol
Thought this was gonna be about FNAF Into The Madness.
To be fair, it got released, not as a game, but as the state of the fans right now.
@@mkks4559 that is so true
@MKK4559 as a FNAF fan, I agree.
I'm completely insane!
@@mkks4559 As a FNaF Fandom Veteran who joined in 2014, I can say with full confidence that not even the 9 year old filled days of 2015 were this toxic and this hectic. If you told 9 year old me that something like The Pear is going to be a thing, or that the fandom would get this elitist and wild, I would have laughed in your face.
Oh yeah, that game Scott had said he wanted to make that never happened.
Is no one gonna talk about how the therapist refers to the matterials vannys suit is made out of as “fake fur”
*that is not fake fur thats fleece-😭*
I bought the book at the store it has details on everything and it was very helpful for just a good sit down and read about lots of different things, way to beat games, and lore and secrets that I missed or was just to lazy to find or deal with, and I read all the emails through that book it’s such a cute book and has got a lot of helpful things written down in it and the recipes are so cute!
Hey, maybe the cancelation of Fnaf AR is something "canon" in this way. The game released before Security Breach, so the service was intended to collect remnant to deliver to the mall, after that, it didn't had any importance so the service closed
Of feel like if it was to tie in to the late the people involved in the project would have made that clear
I just saw the title, the video didnt even got past first 20sec and all im hearing in my head is "ILLUMIIIIIIIIIIIX!!!". I never was so sure whats coming next in a video.
I can’t believe it’s been a year since it was abandoned, I never got into it but I do like how it tied in with the Vanny storyline so if you’re someone who couldn’t afford a VR game, you still got to see some story and I like the direction they were trying to go in with the AR. That being said, I can totally see why it was not well received and I wish they would’ve done more in that sense and I also wish that they hadn’t just abandoned it I feel like if they were honest about shutting down or what was going on. We all take it a lot easier, but considering they have said nothing it just sucks and from a fan/story standpoint it’s even worse because you spent like two or three years building up this Vanny character just to have her not pay off in security breach and if you want to go back to one of the games that goes to talk about her lore, it’s pretty much a buggy and gone.
The big problem with mobile games is that they're monetized based on the richest of the users. The free users will get an experience but the whales are being charged to pay for the whole thing. It's a very lopsided equation that is built into the monetization model on purpose, and part of the pitch to investors. I'm not sure if Scott and the FNAF AR team realized the extent to which micropurchase-based mobile games have an uneven playing field and a very unbalanced user experience by design. That's the only reason for "daily" type gameplay instead of binge-style gameplay and it looks like they didn't properly think of who the audience was for FNAF the series, who won't be able to fully engage with this type of material.
From the corporate side, microtransaction games always about "leveraging a market" or "targeting the right demographic," it's never about the series or its integrity. I wonder who made the calls when it came to FNAF AR's overall game design, and if maybe someone just didn't stop to examine whether the microtransaction-based market was even appropriate for this series and its younger audience.
Your content has improved in every way. You’re a heavy hitter now. Congrats.
FNAF and Kingdom hearts have the same issue where there are too many plot holes and many elements getting retcon in some way and needing to play/read other media just to somewhat understand the story, at this point in the FNAF franchise they need to start giving us more answers instead of many questions. They also need to let William stay dead and let a new villain to take over because now he's not really a threat just annoying 🤣 I'm hoping that if they ever decide to reboot the series they return the horror elements.
You aren’t oppressed by horror having funning moments, get the frick over yourself.
FINALLY someone with influence presented the theory that the Blob is an amalgamation specifically of FNAF AR animatronics (I haven't seen your timeline video yet so this is my first time seeing this). That's an idea I've been considering for a long time at this point, idk if I initially thought of it myself or heard it from some other random person's TH-cam comment but it's been in the back of my head for some time now, but no one with any actual voice seemed to bring the idea up as far as I could tell. This is nice to see...even if it's just yet another theory of what the heck the Blob is to add to the pile.
FNAF lore let’s go!
ur first
W
I found FNaF AR to be a really fun game, I didn’t find it to be lore heavy when I first played it. It sucks that it was abandoned by the developers, but hopefully they will return and fix the problems with it (probably not going to happen).
I feel fnaf ar was a huge commitment, and wasnt executed properly. It could have been so much better, but since its a mobile game, some scummy companies are going to try and squeeze every cent out of the game. I know they were trying to do the AR thing after the VR thing did somwell, but i feel it was rushed and overdone. And besides, why hide so much LLOORE in a mobile game?
They are most definitely Fnaf AR animatronics, I've been screaming this since SB released😅
The modern time line really is a pain especially with fnaf vr and sb feeling like a massive retcon. It's starting to throw me off but I'm trying to ignore it while struggling to keep the memory of the lore from 1 all the way to pizza sim. I mean the fnaf lore could make a perfect college class and it's funny because a dude subbed a college class for a day to explain the fnaf lore with a quiz in the end lol.
Your videos are great. Your one of my favorites to watch now.
I’m excited to watch your play through of security breach
So I ran a discord server that was moderately big for the FNAF AR community to share their mods for the game, and it was thriving for awhile, but when the game slowly stopped getting content, the current owner made their own game, and now more people are playing it instead of FNAF AR
I'm not going to name it but its very popular right now and they have their own separate discord server from the one I used to be involved with and ran most of the time
It's run by pretty prominent TH-camrs in the FNAF AR community if you just would like new content and gameplay, although I have not kept up with development very much because I left the community awhile back, just stayed in contact with close pals from there
Just was kind of nice to see the game being talked about by ya! but good video as always
I cannot believe that this year FNAF AR will be 4 years old because it feels like it came out only a year and a half ago
they're not offended, that unfortunately happens to a lot of mobile games, toxic fandoms and apps cost money to keep running and some things are just not profitable or sustainable, the real offense is people upset they abandonded it but also didnt play it
I’ve been watching your videos to have conversation topics with my little brother and you definitely make everything understandable for beginners/newcomers. I really enjoy watching them!
Have u ever thought that the game was deleted because it was apart of lore. Seems weird that Scott didn't say anything about it and the company started selling crypto or smthn. Maybe it was because of the company (in the game) going bankrupt and in turn the game being deleted.
Its either me going crazy or a great story telling jump.
Much like you I wasn't big on FnaF AR and just skipped over it. If anything the different skins that were revealed captivated me the most about the game.
OK FINALLY SOMEONE SAYS THIS. I think way past after FNAF AR came out I only heard of it. I was so confused as to when did it come out. I thought it was a fan game and just ignored looking into it more then I watch some matpat theories and I see FNAF AR brought up, so much important lore and I never heard of it until later on
I been here since the beginning with fnaf 1 and I'm more lost than ever
Also loving the theory’s man! They’re highly entertaining
I'm playing Forsaken AR, and I love it! I love that they're adding new characters often and other cool things. I'm hoping they add SB characters since Illumix never did
I don’t think FNAF AR has been abandoned but I do feel a bit of concern. I’ve actually began to notice something. Any time I watch TH-cam videos of people reacting to all of the fnaf trailers, there’s one game that is usually forgotten in the video and that is FNAF AR. I honestly made so many good memories with 2020 FNAF AR and loved the skins that were released. I remember being excited to find out what the next skin or character would be and I especially love what they did with Golden Freddy’s release. I never really understood the hate Illumix got in 2020 given the circumstances that we were all in and felt that FNAF AR fans in 2020 were too harsh. I really do love FNAF AR and I wish the best for Illumix but I can’t help but feel a bit concerned.
I heard about this last night. Man that is still so weird. I wonder what's going on behind the scenes.
rip FNAF AR... i actually think the game is really cool not gonna lie i did play it a bit but it got boring quickly... really cool video btw!
There is a game called *forsaken ar*its like fnaf ar but they update it every 2 weeks and they add such good skins like,geode frostbear,endo-02,rainbow freddy and so much more,so you can still play fnaf ar and have fun!
It’s so disappointing to see that Illumix abandoned the game
Glad MattPatt made such a great influence for everyone in this series. Whether its direct or indirect.
I personally didn't like the repetitive gameplay of Five Nights At Freddy's AR Special Delivery but there was a tone of lore which was amazing to discover! I also loved the skins, some skins even became my favourite non-canon FNAF characters. I just wish it wasn't so underrated and that the events got much more attention, these skins have the least amount of fanart and all the possibilities of these events can be such great scenarios for fan-made-stories whether it's songs, fanfictions, or animation series on TH-cam... I'm disappointed in the missed opportunities for amazing and original ideas all from those events...
The books helped me understand like none of the games, it's like two overcrowding, and contradicting worlds
I have to agree with your theory this actually makes sense why there is fnaf 1 to sister location animatronics in the blob keep these videos up man!
Bro thanks for putting hours maby days into this video 😄
It might sound dumb. But I still have hope in FNAF AR. I mean, Scott hasn't said anything about FNAF AR getting abandoned or anything. Sure Scott retired. But Scott has to say something, right?
"so, what is the plot? Well, with TH-cam premium..."
Best timed random ad ever
I dipped for a bit from your videos but- This was such a well put together but still time effective video. Loved your thoughts on this, enjoyed the video ♥️
I’m so glad someone recognized FNAF ar. I recently got it and have absolutely enjoyed it. I hope Illumix comes back.
I haven't watched it yet, but I swear to god, if it's about Fnaf AR
Edit: *GOD FUCKING DAMNIT*
it is about fnaf AR Lol
I still remember the day FNAF AR released: I was at my cousins house and I woke up to him shaking me awake and he just says “It’s out.” and we both IMMEDIATELY grabbed our phones to download it and played it together all day. It was so fun, I really miss going over to his house.

i still remeber my hype when the sl trailer got created
The beginning of the video had the same energy as "And if you pour water on a rock-Nothing happens, but if you pour water on a ro-nothing happens."
7:46 I totally agree. Like, I understood it at first, but then...? It just branched out into the roots of chaos. Too hard to understand most anything in the new games.
i see that matpat's tips had made an impact
using your own theory to make it sound better and stronger
gg
At this point FNAF is a part of my life, I hope I could live long enough to see FNAF solved
Me too 😅
If you play the most recent FNAF game, you'll be lost
If you play the VR version which is a remaster of all previous games, you'll be lost
If you play ALL of the games, read all the books, & even bought all the merchandise... *you'll still be lost* there is no clarity in -ba sing se- FNaF
always wanted to play this game but every phone I've had isn't compatible with it. Surprised its already been a year since it was abandoned
I always thought that the blob was from pizza sim, but what you're saying does explain the presence of the Funtimes.
I think it's because their deal with Disney. Remember 2 years ago they said they had a deal with Disney.
I’m only at the beginning of the video but OMG YES. Anyone else just fucking blink and suddenly everyone’s talking about “afton” and all his family like it’s been around the whole time??? WHERE DID AFTON COME FROM???
Fnaf ar never took me as a lore important game, but it’s FNAF lore so what do I know lol.
I'm not sure if you've seen it yet, but I believe there is an ultimate guide just for security breach out!
I believe if lore was to finally wrap up, I think the best option is a game surrounding fredbears family diner. Before the bite.
I just woke up and immediately clicked this video. I'm definitely gonna have to watch it a second time to take in the information because brainhole is sleepy. 💀☕
Caffeine for brainhole
I’m watching this on my bed rn lol
BRAINHOLE IS CAFFEINATED
I'm going to spend my day off sitting in bed to watch FNAF theories while I drink my coffee and possibly beat a shrine in Breath Of The Wild that I've been too chicken to go back to. Y'all have a great day! 💖☕
I just hope the game doesnt get deleted and get its servers shut down. Since I finally bought a phone that can run the game
You FNAF fans only have one missing game. Us Doctor Who fans have 97 missing episodes of the classic series.
The people who scanned those circuit boards were probably users of the animatronic delivery service and they just scrapped the bots that showed up for money and the boards wound up being used for the VR game
I remembered the trailer for AR.
Bro the intro jumpscared me, I expected the normal: "Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of *cymbals* Fuhnaff"
Sigh. I wanted to like this game. But it was so buggy! The constant crashing would break my streaks, so I couldn't make any progress. It wasn't fun, it was just frustrating, so I gave up on it.
Super awesome video. I’m surprised that FNaF AR, a mobile game, revealed a ton of new lore that set the stage for Security Breach.
Fnaf VR help wanted got me lost completely when it got released.
I’ve played the first 3 fnaf games and just watched TH-cam vids after that to save my soul
that bit about the Blob from Security Breach was interesting but there's one part on the Blob that came from an animatronic that wasn't in FNAF AR, that being The Puppet since you can see it's mask as part of the Blob (though the mask is in a withered state without the purple stripes underneath the eyes. and as we all know, The Puppet wasn't in FNAF AR (then again neither was it's counterparts Phantom Puppet and Nightmarionne). And judging from the withered state of the mask, it could have come from Lefty since he was burned in the fire Henry set to free the souls from Molten Freddy, Scrap Baby, and Scraptrap (Afton), but as we saw in Security Breach the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place that Pizzeria Simulator/FNAF 6 took place at survived the fire, could it be possible that's where the Blob got the puppet mask from? (and potentially remnant from Charlie before she ascended to the afterlife?)
FNAF AR lore theory:
The pizzaplex is being built, it's me and my friends theory.
I realized that the particular animatronics inside the blob are all from FNAF AR-- it's not picked at random. Bonnie, Chica, Circus Baby, Mangle, Funtime Freddy and even that random endo are all from FNAF AR!
I’m still playing FNAF AR and the season events are still cycling on and on! It’s still playable but just won’t get updated! I have Freddy, Black Ice Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, BB, Endo-01, and VR Toy Freddy! So yeah, still playable! And if you want a FNAF AR game that still updates.. play FORESAKEN AR! (With the risk of breaking your phone)
Fnaf is like that one hole that you dig and dig but everytime you think you are done but then come back 3 months later
When you put all the games together with the books, I can honestly say it's a carrot being tied to a rope and people are eating it up. Genius.
Imagine if they put Vanny in AR (if they ever even come back to it………….I’M NOT UPSET YOU AR-)
I find it fitting that Illumix abandoned FnaF AR out of the blue, it's literally something the company in the game would do if things weren't going right for them, but they did it in real life.
