"What if I told you everything I thought we knew about fnaf was a lie?" You know what, that's the most coherent thing to come out of this series in a while.
We all know that the franchise supposedly ended at fnaf 4. But because of popularity, Scott had to continue it, with books and new games. I believe that everything proven is actually true. Fnaf 1-4 actually did exist and there were crying child, cassidy, etc. Everything actually happened. However, due to Scott's selling the franchise, the new owners wanted to reboot the franchise by adding their own. This means that if they continue with the fnaf 1-4 lore, it would be a problem. Heck, the locked box hasn't even been confirmed. It was only presumed that the lock box contains a child's body but scott threw the idea because it's too dark. TLDR: The lore changed. Everything was canon and true for fnaf 1-4. But with the new owners wanted to stamp their own identity to the franchise, they wanted to stop using the original lore and games making it not canon. It depends on your perspective. Are you going to be the old fnaf theorist using the old lores but the evidences stops at fnaf VR or are you going to be the new theorist throwing up all the canons until fnaf 4?
I'm listening to these videos while at work, currently there's 70 in the playlist I'm using. The lore is wild and it's fun to see what changes from theory to theory 😂
My sister once told me that FNAFs story was so increasingly well written and convoluted. Honestly, I think it’s just been re written so many times without changes to the story in previous games that every single on is just its own standalone story at this point.
I think the story of Steve, apart from the illusion disks, is actually more of story about Scott Cawthon and how he felt when he made the games as it got more successful, rather than anything that has merit over the story of the first 4 games. Him having nightmares can be traced back to Scott having a nightmare about Bonnie when making the first game, as well as the success of the franchise coming to haunt him because he never expected it to be so successful. Steve recalling rumors of murders and paranormal activity can be a description of Scott Cawthon coming up with ideas and doing research into his inspirations for the games.
This feels like my parents sitting me down and telling me the Easter bunny doesn’t exist. Just as confusing and devastating. Really enjoyed the theory!
I have something to add that probably means nothing but remember the interview with Scott himself on Dawko’s channel? Well in the interview near the start Dawko says “with.. Fred bear and..” then Scott replies “yea, they thought Golden Freddy, yea.” If Golden Freddy never existed than what actually happened at Fazbear’s Family Diner? What about Fredbear and the bite of 83? I’m sorry. I just had an idea about it. 😅
New theory: Steve, the developer whose brain is turning to mush, is an analogy for Matpat, who over the years has been gradually losing his mind over the fnaf lore
"I refuse to live in a world where shamrock freddie and chocolate bonnie are canon" must've been a top tier regrettable line. I love to see this story unravel.

This is the most bonkers lore because the core idea has changed at least 3 times now and I applaud Matt for not just turning the mic on and screaming into it for 20 minutes
yes, i still KNOW that the first four games are the intended lore, the dream theory is the real lore, and matpat was right, but scott received backlash and from there was just holes in the lore, aliens, spirits that can hack computers and so on
I like to think Scott wakes up every morning and goes to sit down at the kitchen table coffee in one hand, tablet in the other and he just watches Matpat try and explain the newest FNAF lore as he chuckles to himself and takes notes about what not to do to or what to retcon just to continue f**king with Mat and every other theorist.
At this point i don't know who is more insane, MatPat for litteraly doing this whole series, or me for watching every single episode for almost a decade
Matpat's career covering Fnaf is just one man's descent into insanity. It's like the textbook lovecraftian horror story trope, a curios man looking into something that he shouldn't have looked into.

I'm curious to know if Matt actually enjoyed all the books or not, it sounds like his frustration comes from the fact that it's FNAF and that reading them all was work for him. Having read some fazbear frights I really liked a lot of them, I wonder which ones are his favorites.
You see, i understood everything MatPat said, but the more i listened the more i realized hearing this without prior knowledge of literally everything in FNAF really does make him sound like a crazy person.
@@celestemasis8532 fr, it feels like I'm going crazy and will see golden Freddy in my room in next few days. It happens to me once when I was a child, so circle of life
Am i the only one who thinks that matpat probably even DREAMS about fnaf theorys and then after he wakes he goes ,,BUT HEY THATS JUST A THEORY , A GAME THEORY,,
I remember playing fnaf and watching these videos throughout the franchise, through middle and highschool, and now into college. If matpat is crazy for making them this long, we're all crazy for watching all of them this long
Buddy I hear you I've had the exact same trajectory from secondary school to junior college to university and if MatPat's insane we're going down with him
14:12 I love how Scott himself is so confused about all the lore that his solution is to literally make it canon that he is a rogue developer who made all the first games stuff up so it can be thrown out the window.
no this is completey disproven… fnaf 4 is very real and it says that. kinda a big slip up on matpats part here (Or i misread something and am in denial :P)
At this point i don't know who is more insane, MatPat for litteraly doing this whole series, or me for watching every single episode for almost a decade th-cam.com/video/ZIOH4t2LfIc/w-d-xo.html
I'm convinced that Scott since day one only sprinkles tidbits of lore into FNAF and everytime Matpat makes a theory about it, he uses a Coinflip to determine whether he should take Matpat's Word into canon or completely rewrite the story just to spite him. From the looks of things, it seems that Scott landed on heads a little too much during the course of those 60 FNAF Videos.
WAIT YOU JUST GAVE ME AN IDEA WHAT IS WHAT'S IN THE BOX IS ACTUALLY SOME SORT OF CALL TO REALITY STEVE SET FOR HIMSELF WHILE MAKING THE GAME AND HIS BRAIN WAS TURNING TO MUSH?
lmao... thinking of mats old theory that made fnaf look like a dream. it seems like the perfect revenge! because he unintentionally forced scott to continue the game.
Okay, here's a thought: "Golden" Freddy, is Fredbear, but with faded fur. It could have started brown, then faded to that golden-ish color. It's why (or perhaps part of the reason why) his hat and bow tie are sometimes purple: the dye they used for his props is fading. Funnily enough, this would explain why they don't wash the Gen 2 animatronics: if whatever cleaner they used faded the fur enough to turn it a whole separate color, they might want to clean them as little as possible. Plus William might learn from his mistakes trying to clean up evidence...
I can just imagine MatPat getting a therapist and the therapist literally has to get their own therapist because Mat keeps spending hours coming up with FNAF theories that turn people's brains into mush.
And then that therapist getting their own therapist, and that therapist getting their own therapist, and then it just becomes a never ending cycle of insanity. Perhaps it's not the Glitchtrap virus but the MatPat virus. :)
There are so many different layers of sound, but it's too bad that we don't hear most of them. I often think something is happening outside of the video but it's just one of the many sound layers, because when I rewind, I hear the sound again. Very dedicated way of building atmosphere, Mat!
Honestly, I don‘t even care if he‘s right or wrong on these FNAF-theories anymore. I just love how much effort he always puts into them, and never stop coming back.
FNAF has such a strong chokehold on me since the first game that and bendy and the ink machine has a stronger chokehold I'm like the lore I need it all
Something to consider is the first fnaf Golden Freddy was just called “Yellow Bear” in the game files. We only call him Golden Freddy because of Markiplier.
@@romancat-holic7640 I’m just saying that Golden Freddy is his official name now. I also don’t see how GFs name originally being Yellow Bear is relevant
I have to say I actually really appreciate MatPat putting out a theory that he doesn’t necessarily believe or even like just because he wants to add to the conversation.
@@Moonvive I think it's more about the fact that MatPat is acknowledging that he doesn't know how to feel about this one because of what it means for his past videos on the series, but still presents it so that all of the facts and possibilities can be laid out. MatPat could easily just write the book off, but establishing the lore is more important to him than being right about it all.
As much as I love FNAF lore, part of me is like "maybe we're giving Scott too much credit" while the other part is like "man, i am impressed". I love this challenge, so much fun.
MatPat managed to make the lore so complex that he made it cease to exist, a perfect cycle. Thank you, EDIT: Me remembering that the books are separate canon:
@@flashstar2975 yeah I feel like the books, while they aren’t canon to the main story, they shed light on elements that actually happened in the main story so we can put the pieces together from the books.
I think patient 46 is Monty cause he looks like he wears disguises and the therapist said in a different video "I can see your eyes know" monty wears glasses and you can't see his eyes
Who else just wants to give MatPat a blanket, a cup of coffee, some cookies (maybe some made from exotic butters), have him sit down and just say “calm down, you’ve done enough.”
when fnaf is fr actually completely done , you should do like a 2-3 hour long video of explaining the timeline in its entirety. you could make it a charity stream!
When FNAF first came out I never expected the lore to run this deep and this insane, when I saw the first Game Theory on it I was like "Damn you gotta dig REAL deep to find lore in this game, cant be that deep, right? boi was I wrong
the heart matpat puts into trying to figure out this never ending lore is honestly so inspiring and i can just picture Scott sitting back and watching as he (tbh, all of us) gradually loses his mind over it
@@EL-uj1pl reminds of a meme I saw that was like "matpat explaining undertale lore" meanwhile tobyfox sitting there: "hmm interesting" (he doesn't know the lore)

FNAF is almost 10 years old at this point. Wow. It’s crazy. I remember when I was a kid and would watch MatPat, Jack, and Mark play the first game back when it was new.
I'm gonna leave a single lonely theory here about Golden Freddy: it's a broken spirit with a body made of memories. How else could it be a spring lock suit, with modern animatronic limbs? 'The Suit' makes no sense timeline wise. It can't be a spring lock suit because spring lock suits were retired entirely BEFORE Golden Freddy made it's first appearance in 1987. It also can't be a modern suit because the character of Fredbear wasn't continued beyond 1985. Remember the spring lock suits being retired prior to Fnaf 2? This means Golden Freddy's 'physical' form is essentially a glitchy hallucination. It's entirely metaphysical and made entirely by a single soul who NEVER got a mask from the puppet. With no gift this poor soul had to piece themselves back together all alone in the dark. The puppet was able to rectify things in happiest day, but not until certain things happened. William Afton had to be Spring Trapped. Something this broken soul did themself. Friends had to be gathered, the MCI souls and the lost soul had to be found, at an old restaurant. These things most of which place great emphasis on memories had to be completed for this soul to be able to move on. After all the party was for them.
I hope one day Scott comes out and explains the story. I only say this because Scott's vision for the storyline of this franchise has changed so often that nobody can tell what's canon and what's old ideas that no longer exist
You know, Scott should at the bare minimum be appreciative of MatPat cuz he's been carrying this franchise's community on his back with his theories just as much as the developer himself, if not greater.
At this point, the franchise requires a sort of reboot to clarify some of the stuff. It would be nice to see a remake of the core games to at least clarify and retcon some of the things that got a bit confusing in the way since the story was made up as each game launched. Although I have to admit, that's the special charm of FNAF, there's always something unanswered.
I definitely agree, the lore is so messy for anyone to keep up since SB and I feel we needs some clarity or at least some help or hints on whats true and whats not.
That's what I'm hoping the fnaf movie is, having the games story in a clear way that doesn't make it too confusing to understand, but just enough confusion to make it more interesting.
@@KingMytch I literally just want Scott to keep the story with the Afton's and just release a book explaining the story he had in mind. I'm so over FNAF now, I tolerated ample "soft reboots" in hope that we would get an actual story and now I've finally realized we're never getting it
Without any interest in the lore this series would had been done a while ago. There are other channels and blogs that are into the lore. But non that have a following like MatPat’s … and no channel pieces things together like he does. I think even Scott doesn’t knows wtheck is going on anymore let alone steel wool.
I think Scott Cawthon allowing himself to be called insane actually suggests the reverse to be true: The decision gaslights MatPat, calling MatPat insane for trying to pull together lore when, in reality, Scott didn't care about lore and let some inconsistencies slip because he was hardly watching for them, instead more focused on the experiences of the games.
I'm actually impressed at how many alternative strains of lore the game devs can produce for the same set of games. Theorists are such an key part of their setup. Also, cool merch!
i like how the pre order for the quest jacket is sold out like.... thats the point of a pre order so that you can get numbers before selling em so you dont sell out
I want him to make 2 different timelines 1. This theory being true 2. This theory being wrong And just keep making videos on both it would be insane and I would love it lol
Pretty sure Scott just threw random stuff on a wall, waited for MatPat to make a theory to see how he would connect it and just said most of it was right.
19:17 fnaf AR's Funtime service does carry Circus Baby, Funtime Freddy, and Ballora. This could be the very same rental service mentioned in Sister Location, which could support that re-skins are slightly canon. The re-skins are used for holidays and birthdays, and the camera booth is basically for a child to look back at fun memories. However, the Glitchtrap virus could have travelled through animatronics to find a new host, but fails. Then, the virus hooks to a model likely used in fnaf Help Wanted. You see? There is a way for it to work within the timeline, and I just typed it just to convince you this because it is the best way for it to connect to anything else.
you know it is very easy to just throw vague confusing clues with zero coherence and hype it up as "deep" lore I am not sure if Scott even thought much about the lore. He is probably just rolling the snowball at this point
I always took it that (most) of the games were real in-universe, but not like...the glitches and secrets that reveal the hidden lore. So the OG is just a game about a security guard surviving 5 days checking security cameras, but our version is haunted. Stuff like the game crashing doesn't translate into the universe, it only translates as spooky things happening to us.
Remember : in the lore the guard survives 5 nights, in OUR gameplay the guard gets jumpscared, Meets Golden freddy in the office, dies ecc... Heck, maybe the guard even met golden freddy, but as a poster, not an actual enecounter, WE met golden freddy in an actual enecounter ecc..
I honestly wanna see a background livestream of matpat coming up with these theories, I wanna see his thought process unfold, I’m genuinely intrigued how he finds these things

I'm curious to know if Matt actually enjoyed all the books or not, it sounds like his frustration comes from the fact that it's FNAF and that reading them all was work for him. Having read some fazbear frights I really liked a lot of them, I wonder which ones are his favorites.
You see, i understood everything MatPat said, but the more i listened the more i realized hearing this without prior knowledge of literally everything in FNAF really does make him sound like a crazy person.
And hearing it WITH all the prior knowledge of the franchise makes you feel like you’re going crazy with him

Too true
lmao... thinking of mats old theory that made fnaf look like a dream. it seems like the perfect revenge! because he unintentionally forced scott to continue the game.
It's now making me think that it's why scott retired. To have matpat BREAK his point.
Okay, here's a thought: "Golden" Freddy, is Fredbear, but with faded fur. It could have started brown, then faded to that golden-ish color. It's why (or perhaps part of the reason why) his hat and bow tie are sometimes purple: the dye they used for his props is fading. Funnily enough, this would explain why they don't wash the Gen 2 animatronics: if whatever cleaner they used faded the fur enough to turn it a whole separate color, they might want to clean them as little as possible. Plus William might learn from his mistakes trying to clean up evidence...
Black dye would be actually dark purple or green, but idk for the yellow/brown situation

I'm gonna leave a single lonely theory here about Golden Freddy: it's a broken spirit with a body made of memories. How else could it be a spring lock suit, with modern animatronic limbs? 'The Suit' makes no sense timeline wise. It can't be a spring lock suit because spring lock suits were retired entirely BEFORE Golden Freddy made it's first appearance in 1987. It also can't be a modern suit because the character of Fredbear wasn't continued beyond 1985. Remember the spring lock suits being retired prior to Fnaf 2? This means Golden Freddy's 'physical' form is essentially a glitchy hallucination. It's entirely metaphysical and made entirely by a single soul who NEVER got a mask from the puppet. With no gift this poor soul had to piece themselves back together all alone in the dark. The puppet was able to rectify things in happiest day, but not until certain things happened. William Afton had to be Spring Trapped. Something this broken soul did themself. Friends had to be gathered, the MCI souls and the lost soul had to be found, at an old restaurant. These things most of which place great emphasis on memories had to be completed for this soul to be able to move on. After all the party was for them.
I hope one day Scott comes out and explains the story. I only say this because Scott's vision for the storyline of this franchise has changed so often that nobody can tell what's canon and what's old ideas that no longer exist
th-cam.com/users/shortsjobjsjbSW64?feature=share ishowspeed meme is so funny lol

@@jamesramos5442 its complicated
At this point, the franchise requires a sort of reboot to clarify some of the stuff. It would be nice to see a remake of the core games to at least clarify and retcon some of the things that got a bit confusing in the way since the story was made up as each game launched. Although I have to admit, that's the special charm of FNAF, there's always something unanswered.
We DID get a soft reboot in fnaf vr... only to immediately throw out the new lore and go back to the spaghetti bowl known as the og lore
I definitely agree, the lore is so messy for anyone to keep up since SB and I feel we needs some clarity or at least some help or hints on whats true and whats not.
That's what I'm hoping the fnaf movie is, having the games story in a clear way that doesn't make it too confusing to understand, but just enough confusion to make it more interesting.

I think Scott Cawthon allowing himself to be called insane actually suggests the reverse to be true:
The decision gaslights MatPat, calling MatPat insane for trying to pull together lore when, in reality, Scott didn't care about lore and let some inconsistencies slip because he was hardly watching for them, instead more focused on the experiences of the games.
Agreed
I'm actually impressed at how many alternative strains of lore the game devs can produce for the same set of games. Theorists are such an key part of their setup.

pretty genius tbh, just get your fans to write the lore for you
19:17 fnaf AR's Funtime service does carry Circus Baby, Funtime Freddy, and Ballora. This could be the very same rental service mentioned in Sister Location, which could support that re-skins are slightly canon. The re-skins are used for holidays and birthdays, and the camera booth is basically for a child to look back at fun memories. However, the Glitchtrap virus could have travelled through animatronics to find a new host, but fails. Then, the virus hooks to a model likely used in fnaf Help Wanted. You see? There is a way for it to work within the timeline, and I just typed it just to convince you this because it is the best way for it to connect to anything else.

I always took it that (most) of the games were real in-universe, but not like...the glitches and secrets that reveal the hidden lore. So the OG is just a game about a security guard surviving 5 days checking security cameras, but our version is haunted. Stuff like the game crashing doesn't translate into the universe, it only translates as spooky things happening to us.
Remember : in the lore the guard survives 5 nights, in OUR gameplay the guard gets jumpscared, Meets Golden freddy in the office, dies ecc...
Heck, maybe the guard even met golden freddy, but as a poster, not an actual enecounter, WE met golden freddy in an actual enecounter ecc..
