- Just over 9 years ago, FNAF was released on Steam as a last attempt at game design by Scott Cawthon, and now it basically rules the internet. How did Scott make his franchise into something that will be remembered by millions for years? How did Scott make FNAF an immortal franchise?

Unfortunately as long as FNAF is immortal so is MatPats insanity.
Lol
fnaf is immortal because of his insanity 🙃
@@NightGuardJohnnyim insane because of FNAF lore too just like poor old matpat
@@Jdady27same
@marfisboss wdym unfortunately? It's very fortunate
I love how devs like him even when their projects explode they still support fan projects and not do everything to try taking them down
Nintendon’t

back in 2015 when Fnaf 3 released. My friend wanted to get into game design feeling inspired from Fnaf. He emailed Scott asking if he could make a fan game and my friend got a responce. Ive never seen him so happy before. Strong, wholesome memory.
thats very wholesome man, i love scott@@Vanished584
Erm ehem... yanderye sim.... erm
A underrated game that Scott made was desolate hope and it was actually a really well put together game
I agree. Desolate hope was precious but none gave it a chance.
Such an interesting and sad backstory and depressing lore with a peculiar protagonist and the gameplay.
Truly a pity
Tbh if fnaf kept going i wouldn’t be bothered. a lot of the lore is pretty interesting and it’s often very entertaining.
People who hate it for its wackiness don’t even really like fnaf imo, they just like the concept. The absolute insanity of it has been a core part of it ever since 2015. Part of the reason I love it is the way it manages to be extremely goofy yet extremely horrifying at the same time, so I’m not really that bothered by the direction it’s taking.
@@NightGuardJohnnyexactly. It’s really gripping and goofy yet sometimes super horrific. Good video btw. I want to do something like this eventually
@@NightGuardJohnnynah fnaf fell off after fnaf 4 with dream theory. after remnant was introduced and william afton kept coming back again and again the story got really bad. and security breach was awful
@@strikebomber2944 I agree that it's objectively not as well-thought out as a story after FNAF 4, and I pretty much say that in the video. I got back into the franchise when SB came out, and like I said I genuinely like it for what it is, not just what it used to be.
@@NightGuardJohnny well now it’s a milked series of crappy low budget non scary horror games with a terrible story
How FNAF became immortal
Markiplier: WAS THAT THE BITE OF *87!*
True😂😂😂
He says the bite of 87 is in fnaf 1, but it was in fnaf 2
How far has this franchise come man.. so nostalgic
This franchise is on the same level of craziness and ridiculousness as Resident Evil and I absolutely love it.
And I thought I was the only one who thought Security Breach felt somewhat like a Resident Evil game.
@@Breenstall Not to mention both series have a game that really divided fans. In Resident Evil's case, it was Resident Evil 6 and for FNAF, it was Security Breach. xD
Well, Fazbear Entertainment is the Umbrella of Fnaf so.... there's a lot of insanity there 😅
@@sachamarzullo Quite literally. xD
wish that insanity was in the actual games to be really like Resident Evil intead on the books
Fnaf has been with me for more than half my life, and I’ve always loved the vague and creative storytelling. There’s always something interesting to talk about, there’s always room for lore to be debated and discussed. And because the timeline and story is so vague, the community comes to many different conclusions and nobody knows what is right and what is not and I love that.
There’s always fun to be had
I can't believe Jack Black just had a Glitchtrap mask lying around the house 💀
I can't believe jack Black has a glitchtrap mask.. OHHHHH OMG AAAAAAAAAA EUFHDHHD
I was expecting a jumpscare at the end but JackTrap was even better lmao
Yo uhh bout bite of 87, thats actually in fnaf 2, where a nightguard named jeremy got bitten in the frontal lobe by mangle or toy chica when she says, "wheres my beak? Well its logged in ur frontal love of course" or it could be foxy cuz yk, he jumps toward u with his mouth open
carefull of @DONTWAKETHEBABYVPN hes on ur target list 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
she says forehead, not frontal lobe, type of drugs are you on@@bluearrow214
In my opinion, the best part of the lore is the underlying tragedy of it all, and how sometimes that can be forgotten in the face of everything else. In FNAF, nobody gets a happy ending, just another nightmare perpetrated by those who have suffered and caused suffering.
This is basically the Golden age of fnaf in my opinion that’s why that make Fnaf so great all because all of Our Friend Scott
It would be funny if Scott completely contradicted all of the lore that theorists have theorized and then ditch the series
I want him to say “TOYSHK is Jeremy Fitzgerald actually” and then just dip
@@melodytheatre2887nah just him saying "William didn't kill the kids, the kid on the top up on the screen on the first fnaf 6 minigame then just dipping
lmao imagine
imagine if he just said that this was all a dream and just casually leaves
What if he just said "William is a kid and Michael Afton killed the children" Then dipped
I imagine matpat will always come back to keep solving fnaf as long as fnaf is immortal
True
No pun intended?
@@kristoffer2stories61 pun very much intended
@@RealWhitePikmin lol
That didn’t age well 😢😢😢
Personally, I love Fnaf 3. That's my favorite game. I love its ambience, scenery of Fazbear's Fright as well as the fact that in this game there's only 1 threat - Springtrap. Springtrap's design is great too. In my opinion he has the best design in comparison to other animatronics. Additionally, Springtrap's smart and sneaky and sometimes it's easy to loose sign of him. Some people may disagree with me, but I actually like his jumpscare. I also think, it was a good idea that Fnaf 3 has Phantom animatronics that cause the system to malfuntion, so the player has to reboot it, which also gives Springtrap the perfect opportunity to either get close or closer to the office. Btw, wonderful video💓
If the fnaf franchise didn't exist, life would be unnecessary
true
Boy i miss the good ol days. 2016 and now were totally different eras
that’s not true, we need you
@@jclaypotch5411 enragement child?
I agree
If fnaf gose on for 10 more years I wouldn't really complain because this series is entertaining to me
Good lord, this is great. Amazing editing. I would love to see more of this longer content!
Glad you liked it! This is the type of content that I want to make going forward, stay tuned :)
What I love about Five Nights as with most loved genre projects, is that the developer actually listens and cares about the gamers and fans. I'm impressed with Scott and Company for working around simple cliche storyline and making it so off the wall that we just got more and more obsessed.
And I love that!
There was a girl's room in fnaf 4 so that could technically prove Afton had a daughter but then again we never saw her until sister location
Yea Elisabeth
It’s so sad to see Scott stepping down from the fang franchise after the movie but he did amazingly well
"I always come back" takes on a whole new meaning
If you ask me, Scott didn expect his game to blow up due to past failures, so that led him to scramble an make more stories that he now has no control of anymore. He probably doesn even know how he wants to end it, he may not even know how he wants certain things to connect (like the bite of '83 an '87). I enjoy the franchise but the newer games definitely strayed from the office horror that was so cool in 1-4 with the sprinkle of hell behind it.
Making a story ambiguous keeps people talking and interested. Scott said the story was still solvable though, and he knows how confused people are. Who knows.
Now I love Security Breach but seeing again how well Help Wanted was building it up along with Special Delivery just makes me sad that there are so many chunks of SB that didn't get finished that we will probably never see.
Best franchise forever.
i can name like 20 franchises that are better than a series of low budget indie games
@@strikebomber2944congratulations. We’re impressed.
And?
@@strikebomber2944may I ask why ur here if you don't like FNAF? Anyway fangames exist and they are part of the franchise
@@DARKAURA999. i never said i didn’t like fnaf. but these low budget indie games are not as good as other franchises like resident evil or god of war
*Little Nightmares Has Entered The Chat:*
Little Nightmares is better than FNAF. This is a hill I will die on.
Don't get too mad guys I still *LOVE* FNAF, but LN is better.
feels like the franchise is still at float because it cultivated a fan base more interested in discovering the story than stop a think if that story is actually good
Its gone from Fan-made comics about kids being ....yeah... in a small, Diner, to the Mega Pizzaplex.
It's the Final Fantasy of Horror Games. Literally meant to be the lass game made but became so big now it can leave gaming culture and started a way of new games.
Say what you want about remnant, but I think it adds to the horror of fnaf. The children being stuck to the endoskeletons of the Animatronics is a terrifying thought to me. Imagine being stuck inside a metal shell... only being allowed to move at night. I'd be pretty angry too
Also, I personally like Fnaf 3.
Side note: I really hate the idea the Nightmare Animatronics use illusion discs. That's lame asf
Yeah I don’t hate remnant but it’s definitely where fnaf jumped fully into sci-fi.
I also really like FNAF 3, but it’s the most hated og FNAF game by far.
@NightGuardJohnny I personally think it does a better job of establishing fear than Fnaf 2. And yeah Fnaf 3 might be easy as a veteran, but as a newer fnaf fan, for me it's hard. Actually all of them are. But I think fnaf 2 is absurdly difficult and in such an artificial way.
Idk. I'm kinda just rambling so sorry if this doesn't make a lotta sense lol
The box is still unsolved and that is insane because the way the fnaf community is everything gets solved in like 1 month tops
I am so glad i started knowing fnaf since 2014 so many memories i made i miss them all
I think that even If Official FNAF games stop being release, the fans will keep trying to make their own versión of the story or their own universe with fanf games, cómics, songs, etc.
FNAF is like a Western Touhou, where fans make a lot of works based on the original source and keep it alive without playing the og games.
fnaf is honestly amazing i wish i was there when it was popular popular but now alot of people are playing games like poppy playtime, roblox, ect, i feel like fnaf should have way more attention again
FNAF is essentially the horror genre's equivalent of Kingdom Hearts. It sucked its fans in with its mascots and lore questions, when they were young, and now they're on Mr. Cawthon's crazy thrill ride, until either they or this franchise meets its ultimate end. And so long as there's new lore to discover, it's not unlikely that the franchise will outlast its fans.
Team fortress 2 = Five nights at Freddy's
Two immortal franchises with great gameplay and awesome lore
TF2 stand-alone is immortal
It will never be the same without Scott
ive not got near as much nostalgia towards this game series as many others as I was absolutely terrified of it and never wanted anything to do with it when it first came out lmao(i just like watching long documentary style videos on various topics lol). honestly though it really fascinates me how someone just created this entire storyline of plot holes, lore etc out of some chuck e cheese type characters which now has a huge and still growing fanbase. oh and the "no matter how many freddy's you five night" HAD ME ROLLING
Glad you liked it, I also love long documentary style videos :)

@@NightGuardJohnny-ITE OF 87?
WHAT?!
OH MY GOD
@@itsatticuss83*
I really do hope that for FNAF's 10th anniversary Scott goes back and remasteres the original 7 games.
Certainly would be cool but most probably it won't happen since he retired and the movie is his last project
@@Zvipyyes but he might celebrate it some way.
@@gneu1527 yeah, let's hope it's something big as this idea,he will 100% do something as it's clear he cares a lot for the fnaf community but if it's something big or kinda small i guess only time will tell
FNaF is timeless to put it at that.
Bro love your content keep making good stuff
What a fantastic video. You've got a new subscriber. I wish you a great day from Germany!
Man, Five Nights at Freddy's truly is my childhood
The thing you missed with TFTPP is that the attractions in the books were removed before SB because tragedies accrued within them and they shut down
The legendary quote “No matter how many Freddy’s you five night”
Y’know, the fact that people had to argue for so long about how many souls were in golden Freddy is wild with the two eyes bit in the 3rd game. Lore wise it always felt obvious after seeing that screen that golden Freddy had 2 spirits, the only question was which 2 spirits
someday i will be old and grey and be watching these videos for comforting entertainment as I slowly rot in a mossy dark musty old room at a retirement center, I spend my days trying to finnally solve all of this, despite having Scotts full explanation of the lote because I refuse to believe thats what the story contained originally when I was a kid. I can barely reach for my protein without help anymore and it's too rainy for my family to stop by and say hi and update me on the outside world, but this timeline brings me comfort in this hour a terror, I haven't spoken to a human that talks of anything but trends and memes, and this franchise brings me peace in this hour as the nurses forget to bring me my melatonin tonight.
If William Afton can't die, neither can FNAF. BTW, I think you should've explained exactly how one of Scott Cawthon's game inspired him to create FNAF in the first place.
Yes thanks I love your videos❤
FNAF is iconic. It is an awesome idea, and although I don’t like ALL of the the lore, I still enjoy the series as a whole.
My favorite was Security Breach, for breaking the mold in both game play and theme. The ‘80s throwback theme (especially in the music), Freddy as our ally and with a gently giant “Optimus Prime” charm was a really nice touch. Instead of a dark and dirty environment (for the most part), the place slapped of a Paul Verhoeven futuristic runaway corporate dystopia.
Not much of a fan of Ruin, but it had its moments such as with my favorite character Roxanne Wolf, and I hope the series can continue from that story and answer questions about Cassie, Gregory, and perhaps a return of our Papa Bear who is a kind protector and guide to us.
Super awesome video. I really enjoyed it.
28:45 its devoid of lore, but it created a clean sheet of lore to add to, introducing a character with missed potential, gregory, he couldve been done much better if they had just taken there time, the consumers wouldnt have mind another delay
I know it really doesn't matter, but Help Wanted and Security Breach are FNaF 8 and 9, not 7 and 8. Ultimate Custom Night is FNaF7. This is easily backed up by file names such as teaser image file names and certain internal namings for SB being FNaF9.
Yeah I’ll call them that in the future to avoid confusion. I personally don’t consider UCN to really be FNAF 7 and wanted to make it clear that it wasn’t a fully-fledged FNAF game but you’re right.
@@NightGuardJohnny I understand not considering UCN a full game. It was originally designed to be a free DLC to FFPS just like the Custom Night for Sister Location, but was separated into its own title because of how much is in it on its own. The crazier part is that I've heard people say UCN isn't canon and is just a spin-off, which definitely isn't true based on certain content found in the game.
Even if it did die, they said it themselves. “I always come back”
Thank you Scott for bringing to our lives such great franchise 👏👏😎
Fnaf will never ever die. It’s a franchise that will keep going, Scott made a really good choice
9:26 I HAVE NO IDEA WHY BUT I GOT CHILLS FROM THIS.
Makes me sad knowing that Fnaf was only supposed to be at least 5 to 3 games now in Fnaf world one of the endings where the man says says he can’t, and what he created so that’s the moment Fnaf became the immortal franchise so I can’t die now
great video - amazing edits
Thanks a lot!
Fnaf always comes back
I hope FNAF never dies
was not expecting a lore video but im not complaining
Me and my bud, Ther-Bear (yes, I called him that even before knowing he liked FNAF, call me clairvoyant is you like!) can’t wait to see the new film!
2:01 and next thing, you know your counting Freddys toes💀
this keeps geting good
i remember playing fnaf 2 when i was 4 and now i am 12 it was so nostaligic
this was a great video
Just like it’s main villain Fnaf will always come back
While I’ll admit FNAF has its flaws, I still love it as a whole. I still sometimes think FNAF UCN should have been the last game in the FNAF franchise, because it would have ended with its classic gameplay, and gave a proper ending to William as a villain.
Seeing FNAF now, it’s gotten pretty interesting. Sure it made the lore a little more complex, but it’s pretty neat at the same time. While there are people like TheftKing, who are the prime example of what the FNAF community isn’t about, we have FuhNaff, ID’s Fantasy, RyeToast, and other small FNAF content creators that have been a positive influence to the fandom.
Help Wanted was a neat way to revive FNAF, and gave us the next generation of FNAF, by using its old gameplay mechanics, but done in VR. Not only was it cool, it was also interesting.
Then we got FNAF AR (rest in peace), that gave us FNAF at our hand held devices, and overtime, we got the first official FNAF game that’s free roam.
While people will argue Fnaf’s golden age was better, and even I will admit that, but the style of Fnaf’s old gameplay would get old overtime, so introducing a newer generation with new mechanics, as well as the older generation, isn’t a bad thing.
Overall, I’d give FNAF a B-, it is t perfect, but it’s done enough to where I still stay hooked to it. To say it won’t die is a bit of a stretch. I’m sure at some point, Scott and Steel Wool will officially end the franchise, and either create a similar franchise to Fnaf, or have a brand new game series with new characters, with no references or callbacks to the original franchise. Either way, I’m excited for Help Wanted 2, and the FNAF Movie. 😀👍
The title is definitely an exaggeration 😅 I agree with everything you said
Thank you, I appreciate you spent your time responding to my comment. 🤩😀🙏
You have a good day (or night). 😉😀
Last Time I Checked The Channel Is 20K Last Year But Now As 20 Year Old I Decided To Recheck The Channel It Was Whopping 146K Subscribers! Can't Believe You've Grown So Much!
I can’t believe it either :)
Ah yes the his famous catchphrase I always return unexpectedly
"Appleton." Amazing.
27:46 Can we actually get a video on that? That'd be awesome! Also this video was great, keep it up!
This perfectly sums up the lore
because just when you think the hipe of the franchise has died down
it comes back
it always comes back
fnaf will die sometime in the near future, but we know it will always come back.
Isn't it ironic fnaf security breach was 80s themed? Even after all those events that happened in the 80s?
Thanks Scott you done a lot so long. 9 years ago fnaf came out it was fun we will miss you
Correction: The FNaF movie is coming out in almost two months (Which is also coming out on the same day as my birthday)
Noice
Oh boy! I sure do hope this video ages well!
(This is worded in such a way that if this video doesn't age well, it fits.)
You could say, it always comes back
We just simply love the memories and missed the feels...
I loved the 8 bit mini games bro it gave so lore
Me back then: aw man no one’s gonna like my fnaf story it’s too out there and doesn’t fit the franchise
The official fnaf: okay so time travel ballpits and male pregnant with springtrap and robot children
Amazing!! I agree
I like to consider the fnaf lore ever since help wanted as an unofficial soft reboot with he lore pre help wanted being the of lore and story and the new added lore being the lore to the new story
I dont want to think of the new lore rn cause it hurts my head so until matpat finds a clearer story I'm gonna stay away from the new lore
I love your vids bro
YO DID MY COMMENT JUST GET HEARTED BRO I LOVE YOU THIS IS WHY IM NEVER GONNA UNSUB FROM YOU
Thank you Scott I wouldn’t be here without you
*"scott always comes back..."*
Society if the bite of 83 was The Bite of 87: 👌
31:11 Speaking of which, there's already footage of the Help Wanted 2 coming out soon.
The intro💀💀
I feel like with Scott retiring the games may go down in quality as time passes, but we don’t know if Scott will either help with the games like he did security breach or eventually stop working on them.
i guess you can say it always comes back
Great video man keep up the great work💪💪
I really hope this is a teaser for the crazy things that happen for the 10th anniversary next year
imagine dyeing
and all you hear is shadow Bonnies lullaby instead of seeing your life flash by
Matpat: yes?? Keep talking...
Nice Vid
excellent video
The early storytelling of FNAF was so captivating. The first three games were amazing and a solid package that we didn't need to add to. The first six games were still fun, though I didn't like all of the lore of Sister Location, these games had a good ending that didn't leave tons of questions or confusion. It could have actually given us closure. After that? Honestly, I think Scott should have let FNAF rest and made other titles. I enjoyed the books, especially the Fazbear Frights series, but I don't enjoy any of the books being directly connected to the games in any way, they should just be a goofy thing on their own. I'm excited for the movie, too, it looks like it might actually stick to the vibes of Old FNAF. But I do think the games and the "main story" of the games should have ended with UCN... at the latest. I also wish that the spin-offs and remakes could go without the ridiculous lore additions... anyway, GREAT video!
fnaf first came out on my birthday, it's awesome
Nice video
