 Hello people of the internet, my name is Johnny and welcome back to yet another reaction to Game Theory. Is it just me or have we been getting a lot of Game Theory FNAF episodes recently? Which is strange considering the franchise is kinda in a weird place. FNAF AR isn't doing any lower, we've had one game from SCOP without that didn't really have any lower, Security Breach doesn't come out till later this year, we're in kind of a dead zone right now and yet we're still getting consistently Game Theories. But most interestingly of all is that these Game Theories aren't your typical Game Theories. It seems like MAPHAT is trying to go for a different style of Game Theories when it comes to FNAF, at least for right now, while we're kinda again in this dead zone. Where in one video he gives us basically three separate mini-theories that we can speculate on. And I think it's important to know that these are kinda like mini-theories, I don't think he legitimately is trying to fully flesh all these things out, that's why they're condensed into like three mini-theories in one episode. I could be wrong, I don't know. But funny story about this video, this dropped maybe like two minutes after Scott made his post about the drama. So that show was perfect timing, and speaking of timing, let's not waste any more of it. So without further ado, this is Game Theory FNAF, return to the pit. I'm guessing we're gonna be talking about the books. I guess we're going back to Into the Pit, I guess we're gonna hop back into the pit and now let's hop into this video. Starting off with the purple guy. FNAF, they're rolling again. You stupid ghost, you could get revenge on me. Do you know who I am? I'm William Afton, I always come back. Is that his new voice for the movie? I'm not the innest man's whole career. How depressing is that? You died from like a singular little water drop to game theory. Clamping down on your subscription feeds and oh my gosh, finally after all that waiting after being patient for so long after all the delays, it has finally arrived. It is here. Oh, is it gonna make a furious rage joke? Where we finally get to go up against Vanny the Killer Bunny. Here it is. Security breach. Furries rage. No furies, no furies. It's about an onslaught of angry furries on the attack. No. Oh wait, sorry, misread that title. It's a fury. Furies rage. Very important distinction there. Well anyway, let's fire this puppy up. Let's see if they're ready for ready. The music box. I don't care what you say. Also, the game is good. I'm so good looking. Not quite what I expected on multiple fronts. A game long apology for all the delays with the real security. Wait, you're upset. They're gonna kill me. They're gonna kill me. When they find out that I have to delay the game again, what am I gonna do? You tell that Scott's feeling a little guilty these days, huh? Yeah. Also, really, he sleeps in a fairy tale bed. Learning a lot about you with this one, Scott. Anyway, just because the official game is still TBD doesn't mean that there's any less than a theory right now. I hope Matt's not legitimately upset. We've got secret bosses and we've got a lot of pent-up theories behind the flood. Chill about it. Just waiting to pour out. So today I'm doing another roundup of short FNAF theories. Some looking back to the past. Some looking ahead towards the future. Ooh, that's that new story. I get what it's called. Someone's a lucky day. I feel like we knew this, but pop-off king. We as always have our three main horror novellas. The first is the title feature, Gumdrop Angel. A tragic tale about a girl who transforms into a giant gummy bear pinata thing that gets eaten alive by a swarm of saliva mouth kids at a Freddy's- Yo! My favorite FNAF lore. I was just kidding, of course. That's it. I'm a lucky boy, old boy. Yo, big W? Big dub? Good advice. Yo. Ah. By the way, for people watching, I haven't read all the stories. This is the first time I'm hearing about what happens. Well, funny story about that. We know about those stories. We'll be doing it coming soon. Oh, direct name-dropping. Okay. Whoa. Dang. Dang, is that called FNAF 3? It's cool. We call it. Hello, Handi. I miss you. I hope you're in security breach. Mike appearing in two games. But what about FNAF 2 and 3? The name Mike doesn't appear anywhere in either of them. Oh, curious. Well, in FNAF 1, we know that Mike eventually gets fired for- Mike is in the game files of FNAF 2, if you didn't know. Something that would happen if, you know, he was a rotting corpse walking around from restaurant to restaurant to free the souls of the dead kids trapped in the suits, but thereby his father. So isn't it a little coincidental that Fritz Smith, our protagonist from FNAF 2, gets fired for the exact same reasons tampering with the animatronics and odor? It's also why Michael would keep getting attacked. Sam, this feels so much like a throwback. Oh my god. And lastly, it's why Golden Freddy says it's me every time he appears. It's the brother's soul crying child trapped in the suit, recognizing and reaching out to his sibling, Mike. But then, what about FNAF 3? When I first presented the theory, I, uh, I thoughtfully omitted FNAF 3. It made sense to me from a narrative angle, but in terms of actual physical evidence, there wasn't a whole lot to point to outside of the hallucinations. Since the phantom animatronic jump scares in FNAF 3 were moments pulled from both FNAF 1 and 2, it implies that the person seeing them must have been present in both those locations. That doesn't make sense. Yeah, bupkiss. However, what we found may have just given us our missing piece. Our security guard Hudson in the story has a very tragic existence. His dad took his own life at an early age, and his mother got remarried to an abusive man named Lewis. And this guy is awful, like he is real bad. Eventually, we learn that Hudson seems to have burned his house down, killing this violent man in the process, and then repressing those memories. Fast forwarding back to the present day, as he's tormented by Springtrap, he hears his dad's voice coming from the suit that, along with a former abusive teacher named Mr. Adkin, or Mr. Adkin, depending on which page you're talking about, and looking at you, proofreaders, you guys are explaining to do. Anyway, Hudson knows his violent father in a fire. A father whose voice comes out of Springtrap, along with another person associated with childhood trauma and with a name suspiciously close to Afton. The security guard himself then dies in a fire in a tightly contained pizza oven. To me, it sounds a heck of a lot like the journey of Mike, who would also be responsible for burning his Springtrap serial killer father to death at the end of FNAF 3, before he himself meets a fiery-ended FNAF 6, also trapped inside a small box. So, Mike set fire to the FNAF thrice. We're not. Who knows? Speaking of FNAF 3, here's a small observation that didn't fit anywhere, but I wanted to call out. You know how we're pretty confident that Golden Freddy was possessed by two spirits? Crying child in Cassidy's ritual spirit? Well, it seems like Scott may have been hinting at that since FNAF 3. I couldn't believe it either would take a look at your photo of the bad ending from that game. Notice how the mask in the background, Golden Freddy, has two words on the sides, said to just one, like all the others. Each light would be representative of a spirit trapped in the suit. Shout out to Game Theory Subreddit user, TheRealBrowFy, for that one. I might go back to that still. What's the subject to Cassidy? Theory number two. Because that's interesting. Cassidy died in the ball pit. Game two, the pit. Oh my god, what is that render? That had made it a bit of a shame, because this whole time I was hoping they would get 76 more out of this thing, just so we could make a joke along the lines of, was that the right of 87? Is that the right of 87? Oh my god, look at all those cooks. Is that idiom acceptable after 2020? Anyway, it's a big deal since this is the story that's historically had the biggest lore reveals. Most notably, the hints that led us to believe that Golden Freddy had two souls trapped inside of him instead of just one. And with only three epilogues left before the end of the series, this story needs to have itself a really big pain. I wonder if number 12 is going to have one. Here they had just battled a 15-foot trash rabbit called the Afton Amalgamation. By the end, Larson got infected with the glitch trap virus, and Jake, the remaining spirit inside the stitch raid, realized that he could use his, um, I don't know, his, his remnant powers to basically go into people's memories. The power of friendship. In order to help them, he could pull a memory out. A good one, and make it bigger and brighter than the rest. If he could, he could ease the man's pain. It was almost like blowing up a balloon. Only the balloon was a memory, and the air was Jake's will. It's, um, it's about on par with the level of insanity you'd expect from FNAF. Yeah. A little bit 2021. Yeah. And well, that's certainly an interesting story detail. What I instead want to focus on is Larson's half of the plot. The detective who's been trying to piece together all the mysteries around Fazbear Entertainment. Getting infected by the Afton virus has had some weird side effects on him. Specifically, it's allowed him to hop between the memories of a bunch of Afton's victims. Quote. He was getting glimpsure of the past. They were memories, but not his own. These images belonged to others from different places and different times. So it feels like this is the literary device that's going to allow the books to explain the missing children's incident. Larson is going to get clues via this memory hopping to either see for himself or get the clues to investigate what happened to Susie, Gabriel, Fritz, Jeremy, Charlie, and Cassidy. But then things start to take an unexpected turn. One final quote. As his mind swept him from one visit to the past to another, he always saw the same thing in between. He saw a ball pit. Oh boy. Here we go, friends. Get ready, shark. You bout to be jumped. See, despite all the craziness of the Fazbear Fright story, they've all roughly held to the same logic. Technology infects humans, endoskeletons become- How can you make it more confusing? It's actually impossible. You can't. For those of you who don't remember, the title story of the very first book was Into the Pit. The story of a time-traveling ball pit that allowed a boy named Oswald to go back to the past to visit the year 1985 and see the after effects of the missing children's incident. As he does this, he's chased down by spring body disguised as his father. It was weird because time travel is always weird, but you know we didn't think too much of it at the time because it was a one-off story in a collection of random one-off stories. But now, now, my friends, we're coming back to it. Of all the 24 stories that Fazbear Frights has had, this is the one that the big overarching narrative of the series suddenly deems important enough to come back to for some reason. The time travel ball pit. And that's not our only clue that this thing's important. Remember Security Breach, Furries Rage? More like Matpats Rage at this point because not only does the game include a dabbing chiga, but it also features a secret boss battle if you complete hard mode. This was so funny. A secret boss battle against this. A slithering reference to FNAF 4's... Watching Mat try and show this live on GT Live was so amusing. The FNAF 4 locked box would appear to be an IV bag in the back there. Basically, in this one sprite, we have Scott acknowledging that the real final boss of this whole damn series is figuring out what FNAF 4 was trying to tell us. It's also... Yeah, it's always been that. ...considering the thing's name and the source code is Dream Geist. I win this. Oh, the ball pit! Oh my god. ...maybe they're balls from a ball pit. Considering that balls and ball pits have never once been important to this series, and in the level where you fight the Dream Geist, we see screenshots from previous games. Sister Location's Blueprints, a camera feed from FNAF 1, again implying some level of time travel, or scanning across time, because the Dream Theory came out before Sister Location was released, which makes that FNAF 5 Blueprint reference really stand out here. Now, by no means am I saying that there's time travel in the games or anything like that, but the sudden re-emergence of the ball pit in Fazbear Frights... You can tell he's really getting into this story. How long has he been talking about it? Oh, this is only through 2? ...to the extent that it's able to trap Afton in a state between life and death. So if anyone or anything is gonna imbue a ball pit with time powers, Cassidy seems like the one to do it, and we know that someone did die in there because both in the pit and the latest epilogue make a point about the pits' sticky balls. Get your mind out of the gutter there, people, quote. He studied the plastic balls. Respectfully. The substance covering the plastic surface looked like blood. Old, old blood. And here I thought the worst thing that happened in a ball pit was getting pink eye. Fire up the golden Freddy in the ball pit thumbnail, boys! He did use Golden Grail, so I mean, you know, check that off the bingo boy. ...to save the missing children from Afton and release their spirits. Why would I assume something like this? Well, giving Larson memory powers would be enough to tell the kid's story. Let him see glimpses of their trauma, clues that lead him on an investigation. The ball pit, though, becomes necessary if the story plans on him physically interacting with those kids. So I wouldn't be surprised if the ending of this entire book series is unwinding the thread that started that. That would be kind of cool. The missing children's incident kids are saved, which in the process undoes all of the other horrific stories. Yo, that'd be kind of cool, though. ...from the taxpayer pizzerias. In the process, Scott retroactively gives all the sad stories from the Fazbear Fright series a happy ending. That'd be so sweet. Detective Larson becomes Afton in what is a self-perpetuating time loop scenario. Oh, boy. Sure. You all laugh. And trust me, I'm just kidding. It was Game Theory for ya. ...YouTuber boxing. But hear me out here. We have ourselves a character, Larson, infected by, as the book puts it, Afton's darkness. We also have ourselves a ball pit that allows him to go back in time for some reason that's gonna be important to the narrative. So what if Larson winds up going back in time to investigate only for the darkness to take over and turn him into William Afton, setting all the events of the story into motion? Who knows? Maybe we truly do exist. I don't know how I feel about that, because then that's just a- It's a loop, right? ...after the creation of his own future self. Tell you what, it would explain how Afton was able to create such futuristic advanced robotics when he was literally in the early 80s, because that's something that'll never get explained. Like I said, that theory is real dumb, but, you know, it is on the table, but we can put it past this series. Time travel opens up all sorts of decisions. I don't know how I feel about that. Ow! I'm so real hot right now. And heck, we do see a lot of ball pits in that new trailer, one that comes complete with the day night mechanic. Huh? Huh? Will I be right? Will I be wrong? We've got ourselves three more books and an indeterminate wait for security breach to arrive. And more. So you can bet the theories are just gonna get more and more ridiculous until that day comes. Like they haven't already. The big time, remember, to actually listen to my dear friend's Rhett and Link's new podcast. He always debates me. I'm so ready. I don't think you guys understand. I sit through 15 minutes to say at the end of the video, but that's just a theory. A game theory, along with Matthew Patrick. And then he doesn't do it. A game theory. That wasn't that bad. I think that third theory, I'm not too big a fan of just because it, I don't know, it seems way too complicated. And I know the FNAF war is complicated, but that just seems like making it unnecessarily complicated, which I'm not a huge fan of. I think those first two, however, could definitely be looked into more, especially that second one, because it seems like MatPat was super invested in that theory. Yeah, I don't know how people feel about the whole three new FNAF theory concept for this new series of FNAF game theories. I like them. I've said this in the past, and I'll keep saying it. I mean, MatPat is by far probably one of, if not the most important figures in the entire FNAF community, just because it feels like he's the only one who really focuses on the lower. And so being able to see what's going on inside his head as he's thinking about these theories, coming up with new ones, I love that. Up, yeah, super good episode. Again, don't know how I feel about the third one, but it was a pretty good episode. So that's gonna be it for me. Thank you everybody so much for watching this video. I do have hopefully another video going up today after this video. If it's not out tonight, I'll try and put it up before the new FNAF AR skin tomorrow. It's kind of a follow-up to the Scott Cawthon drama. It involves Jonochrome and Flumpties and kind of the whole Fazbear Fanverse initiative. Oh, so yeah, stay on the lookout for that. Thank you guys so much for watching another episode of me reacting to Game Theory FNAF, and I'll see you all on the flip side. Goodbye.
