 So, we're finally back reacting to yet another game theory on Five Nights at Freddy's. It's been a long time. Got a surprise that this is not talking about one of the books, judging by the thumbnail and the title. I'm guessing it's going to be talking about the whole Evan Afton scenario that's been going on lately. From my understanding of the situation, apparently people went back into the Freddy Fazbear's Survivor Logbook, and they found yet another name. And the name that they found is Evan, and they believe that that name is the name for the crying child. And apparently, the name also pops up in Blackbird. I don't know which story. I haven't read the book yet. In all, I'm just not too familiar with the situation just because I don't really want to keep up with it, because I know that if I make a video on it, or if I talk about it anywhere, people are just going to get upset. So I guess this is my time to do it. So once again, we got Golden Freddy back in the thumbnail, and the title is Game Theory. Did Reddit just solve FNAF? It's 16 and a half minutes. Let's just hop into it. Alright, boys and girls, it is finally time. Game Theory did Reddit just solve FNAF. Again, I'm assuming this is going to be talking about the whole Evan Afton situation, which as I just explained, I'm not too all familiar with. I mean, I get it. You know, I know how people got it, but at the same time, I'm very skeptical, because some things just don't add up. So I'm curious to see how MadPat puts it all together. If you're new to the channel, thanks so much for coming out. Please subscribe, we are getting so unbelievably close to 15k, and I would love to hit it by March. And smash the like button, too. Alright, let's hop into it. This sounds like Pennywise. Guessing this is a book. I'm guessing that this is from the real Jake? Open the cabinet, Jake. Open it. Open it. Open it. Open it. Open the cabinet, Jake. Good. Okay. I'm intrigued. Good intro. He's always very creative with them. Hello, Internet. Welcome to Game Theory, where today the theory is coming from you. That's right, just because we're all still waiting for security breach to release doesn't mean that FNAF theorists out there have been twiddling their thumbs. In fact, the lack of a new game has prompted the community to go back and comb over all the pieces that were in place for us before. He's got some weapons. He might have overlooked or missed the first time out, and it was this thorough re-review of the clues that prompted what may be the biggest fan theory to blow up in over a year. It's gone pretty big. Pretty big. Pretty big. I mean, with the help of Fazbear's Frights throughout last year's videos, we managed to pinpoint the year of the missing children's incident as 1985. Amen. True. God, man. Six years. Crying child, but no. That's happy child. That's angry child, and that's confused child. That's apathetic child. That is passionate child. Nope, not that one. Who is that emotionally repressed child? Hashtag relatable there. But really take a moment to think about that. We know the puppet's name, Charlie, and her father, Henry. We know that baby was originally Elizabeth Afton. Purple guy slash Springtrap. Purple guy! The other purple guy is Michael Afton. There we go. Damn, we do know a lot of names. At least one of the things trapped inside Golden Freddy. I mean, there is a name for pretty much every single character in this franchise, except for this one kid. The one kid who, wouldn't you know, was also important enough to have the first on-screen death of the series. Feels like we should probably be able to solve this one by now, right? It feels good to be back with FNAF Game Theory. I'll tell you that. You said it! Incredible guy right there. What's the bite of this? Hello, I'll pick my favorites in the next episode of Morty. Now, today's theory starts where all the best things begin, dabbing Chica. Let's go! One of the most important lore item in the whole franchise. Not any of the novels. Certainly not the games. Those are just afterthoughts at this point. Nope, it's back to the children's activity book FNAF Survival logbook. Dude, why isn't that covering the coloring book though? It makes sense. Yeah. Makes sense, yeah. Yep. But it still leaves a major part of this book unsolved. What is the lore point's name? It's a thread that's never been tied up. One that has personally driven me crazy for years. It's a grid where you're told to draw an 8-bit foxy. Just another random activity in this children's workbook, right? The grid is numbered and you can see in faint print that you're supposed to put letters into the squares with the first few already being put in. Yep. Oh, that feels like such a long time ago. But it also feels like yesterday. Goal! Pretty sure he said the same thing last time. Yep, same. Yay! That's me, Mr. CC! Oh, dude, I hated that. Editors, why? Yep. Fun. Fun. Fun. Fun. Fun. Fun. Fun. page numbers where Cassidy asks the question to quote from Wolfie's own post the first one is I can hear sounds the page it's responding to is 75 which says does he still talk to you and one trend to notice is that all four pages have a piece of blood on it next is it was for me which is responding to god i love blood the party was for you third is I can't see responding to page 59's what do you see and last is I'm scared which stumped me so I went off of what I already had and quote he then fully I'm a little bit skeptical and going in the order that bite victims answers appear he followed the grid code to find the following four letters well after six years could it possibly be that Evan is the name of the crying child I did I miss something where's the last time I'm not convinced off of this alone don't get me wrong I don't think that this is a bad theory at all quite the contrary in fact tries to figure out the true purpose of that stupid foxy grid is gonna get credit in my book the problem here is the methodology throughout the book Cassidy asks a lot of questions but only four of them actually matter Wolfie also points out the blood stains but there are blood stains on a lot of the pages throughout this book yeah just those four and even then an answer like I can hear sounds to the question of does he still talk to you it feels yeah it's not very precise you know it feels random arbitrarily trying to fit pieces together in a book that has been crafted to be anything but arbitrary I mean the Cassidy code alone required you to find six numbers find a page that points to another page on what to do with those six numbers and then translate all six of them into the word search multi-step puzzles like this have to be precise in order to work and while the puzzle pieces in Wolfie's theory certainly fits they fit a bit loosely you know I mean even Wolfie admits that finding the last N was a bit of a stretch and it forced him to break his own methodology in fact another freddit user Godzilla 81 3105 tried to correct for that to find the N in a different way really one of the other lingering threat of the book is a series of tally marks written by Mike that never quite add up to anything they're never used or at least their true use has never been discovered but again similar to the foxy grid they must mean something right from Godzilla's post I realize that there's a magazine foxy is holding on the first page of night one that has five three on it when you add five and three you get eight then I took every single tally mark set in the book and added them together I got this from the idea of how the whole quiz thing at the end of the shift says tally up your score putting all of these together gets you 47 47 on the foxy grid gives you the hmm again it sounds good on paper and I love the attempt to make sense of it all but the why of it just doesn't line up for me why add tally marks to this number on foxy's magazine how are those elements unless there's like a connection to a completely different set of three numbers gotten from a completely different set of clues plus the story just doesn't hold contrary to what Godzilla says in their post there is no tally up your score at the end of those nightly surveys thus the rationale just doesn't hold up in short it feels like we're convinced that we have a solution to the problem and we're trying to back our way into how to get that's why I've been hesitant with this name confirmation bias where as you conduct research you try and find sources to justify your belief or you retrofit the data to fit the conclusion that you're looking for and I should know about confirmation bias because lots of our theories over the years play with that very concept Mario is a villain provided you ignore all the times that he saves the kingdom you play as the king in hollow nights as long as you squint really hard during this one cutscene that might disprove that for me seriously those are all about telling a story connecting dots that definitely exist within a game that flip your understanding of the plots but also sometimes go against what is much more likely and probably much more intended by the developer and the theories that I tend to focus on are the ones where you can connect a surprising number of dots even if one or two tend to disprove it they're just meant to be fun it's just a planet it doesn't matter I'm glad he's talking about this we come to conclusions require more scrutiny and here the methodology of arriving at the name evan just doesn't hold up as well as I'd like but that doesn't mean the name evan fazbear frights time let's go this isn't just coming from the logbook shortly after Christmas the fazbear frights book series released its latest installment blackburn and it contains what is to date the most moving story in the oh I still haven't read it real jake short story number two tells the tale of nine-year-old Jake who's dying as a result of a tumor in his brain with his mother prematurely passed away and his father overseas in the military Jake is under constant care by the young Margie but there's one other special person in Jake's life a mysterious figure named Simon who speaks to him at night from a small cabinet in his room quote the first night Simon had talked to Jake Simon had made it clear he would be in the cabinet until Jake got well enough to walk to the cabinet when you can do that I'll be here waiting for you end quote and while it seems like Simon should be a sinister force since you know this is a FNAF book after all it's actually an expression of love Margie had created the small doll named Simon with a walkie-talkie inside of him that allows Jake's father to speak to his son distorting his voice to make him sound younger Simon every night insists that Jake speak about what the real Jake is doing the one who isn't afflicted with cancer the one who is outside playing with his friends all of this was intended to give Jake hope with Margie updating the doll every few nights with food stains and scrapes on his knees to reflect the adventures that the real Jake has been having it's a beautifully story with some legitimate surprises that i'm actually not gonna spoil here but the reason i should read that is that strangely it is the only one of the 18 fazbear fright story so far that has no explicit connection to FNAF at all zero every other story thus far is mentioned to fazbear pizzeria or connected back to a familiar animatronics hey guys glad to see y'all again it does have some lore connection to the ongoing stitch rate storyline but the lack of anything FNAF stands out like a sore thumb when every other story thus far has connected back in some way which is why the name of Jake's father stands out so strong michael Jake's father is named evan which alone is interesting but because i'm dumb noteworthy when you consider that he has a brother named michael that's what i was thinking of my bad guys not only that this is how michael is described in the book quote he's well he's a little different he's intense about making money and he's really good at it just the way he is can make him seem like he's not human so he's like a cyborg with bad programming and quote two brothers one named michael who gets compared to a human robot hybrid no clue it's insane and that's just the surface of wacky looking deeper this is a story about even though scott said that wasn't supposed to sound robotic but whatever just like we see in sister location heck you see him communicating through the walkie talkie that is in a plushie in the real jake it's simon the doll with a walkie talkie inside of him in the games it's psychic friend friend bear with a walkie talkie he didn't do the song aw what the hell his brain tumor and crying child with the bite of 83 in the story jake goes on to possess the simon doll only for him to then pass on to the stitch rate sharing that endoskeleton with another soul named andrew in the games could it be that our crying child dies in the hospital and goes on to possess psychic friend friend bear which then somehow gets him passed into the golden freddy suit where he then shares it with another soul named cassidy and all of this is happening in a story that has no connection to fnaf but very clearly true yeah i'm just saying that the absence makes it all the more conspicuous in short i'm not convinced that the fnaf survival logbook is solved or anything like that right now i'm just not sure the methodology for arriving at a final name is really i'm glad he didn't jump to conclusions that's really nice strangely enough the name evan feels like we're onto something it has some very compelling evidence to support it from the real jake story so at this point i want to hear from you let me know are you sold on the crying child being evan alongside his older brother mike or is this yet another example of scott trying to bury the lead a bit and confuse us by using the same name a bunch of times chauvin michael in a bunch of places where he doesn't belong all i know is that i can't wait for the next book coming out in march at this point forget security breach it's all about those sick book drops my friend to be honest with ourselves at this point uncovering the lore of fnaf requires more reading than your typical j rpg but hey that's just a theory a game theory thanks for watching and boys i know you watch just the reaction part of the video so please if you made it to the end because i know you most likely did subscribe all right that was really nice um yeah i'm glad he didn't jump to conclusions saying that the crying child's name is evan because of everything that people had found in the survival log book i'm glad he took the time and reflected and thought wait a second some things don't add up here even if we want them to that's kind of the reason why i never made a video on the topic i know a lot of other fnaf youtubers did i didn't just because just like matt i wasn't convinced you know not saying that it's impossible that his name is evan it just it felt a bit loose well i'm sure the connections between michael and evan in blackbird to the characters in fnaf 4 100 percent they're meant to be there the survival log book again it just doesn't sell me the way it sells other people hopefully you get what i mean i'm not trying to attack people that believe evan is the name of the crying child because of the log book i'm just saying me personally i'm not convinced it's a bit loose but that's it and boy does it feel good to be back reacting to fnaf game theories i don't know a lot of people you know they hook on madpat for going too in depth with things especially with some of the recent theories in the past couple years but i don't know man it feels good feels good to be back he's been gone for i think it was like two months or something not a long time at all but i really do enjoy me some game theory fnaf every now and then so hopefully you guys enjoyed my reaction i'm sure you'll make a video on the cliffs when it comes out and of course when security breach comes out we'll get a lot of videos on that maybe we'll get one next month when the gameplay trailer releases maybe mail have something to say i don't know we're gonna have to wait and find out but thanks for watching and i'll see you all on the flip side goodbye
