Yeah this seems like the most likely explanation to me, all the evidence rounds up really well and there’s far more to support this theory than there is to suggest you play as William and the runaway is one of his sons. It honestly fits so well that I would consider it solved, this is fantastic! The fact that Scott clarifies this in UCN with Toy Chica’s dialogue cements it for me. Well done!
Interestingly, we do probably know what happened to Jeremy. Comedy Bot in SB says… "Aren't parents the worst? Any of you kids have parents? Don't you hate it when your parents take you somewhere fun then abandon you? They are all like: "I guess if I dump little Jeremy off at his favorite pizzeria before I move to Aruba, that makes me a good parent.""
This is the first theory about this minigame that has made like 99% sense to me. "But there should be a greater point to this minigame" people only think that bc, since it is difficult to figure it out - and the fact that the car is purple-, it HAS to mean something important, it HAS to be about William. When it really doesn't have to be. Scott even made the sprites very vague in details, as to say "Hey don't worry about these guys, they don't matter, these are NOT the Afton's" At this point in time, we have already seen the sprites for Mike, CC and William; why would he make completely new ones? To confuse us? Maybe lol (looks at the purple car), but in all honesty, I don't think so. What sells me on this, is the fact that Fruty maze exists and it's about of one the MCI, Suzie. If Fruity Maze was about one of the MCI, why not Midnight Motorist? Also, we play as an abusive father, and for what we have seen from William in the games, he's not really like that; hell I even think he was a protective one. He tried to protect Elizabeth from getting close to Baby, and cared enough to "put back together" CC. The only thing I disagree with, is that William used another suit to lure this kid. I believe he used the one he always uses, Spring Bonnie; "but what about the rain?" Easy, when William got to the house, it wasn't raining yet. After all, the game is called "Later that night" Looks like William went after kids who were in pretty vulnerable situations, Suzie after the death of her dog; and this kid that lived in an abusive household. It was easier to get them close to him. The only thing about the minigame that still has me confused, and no theory has a really satisfying answer, is the mound, but anyways, I LOVE this theory, especially that Chica line that you added, it made me go "OH SHIIIT THAT MAKES SENSE" lol. Great job! Sorry for the lengthy comment haha
@@socrates546 the dude clearly wants to bring cc back and cared enough to keep his daughter away from baby hes not the best father but in the games he was never displayed to be drunk and abusive, hes still a psycho tho.
The FNAF1 newspapers imply MCI is five kids, and some of the footage shows two boys being lured in at the same time. Susie and Cassidy are accounted for as Chica and G. Freddy respectively, and we know two kids were lured in at the same time, leading to the story of the 5th child being untold. If Midnight Motorist is that story, then here’s (maybe) how the MCI goes: 1:Susie is targeted first using the dog that she lost (now presumably mangle or revived by remnant, or William is just lying). 2: Two boys are lured into the back together, this is seen on camera and is the inciting incident for the investigation listed in the papers. 3: A fourth child is lured in, presumably Cassidy. 4: William leaves in a normal costume, in the rain, after the restaurant has closed, to pick up a child from their home. The child is eager to leave because their dad is the town drunk. 5: Give Gifts, Give Life takes place, and 6 haunted animatronics (and maybe dog mangle and database powered toy animatronics) are now all trying to kill William/Michael/Jeremy in all the games. In other words, we now know at least some details about the 5 FNAF 1 animatronics and where/who the souls originated from.
I agree with everything besides Cassidy, as it is pretty implied she is the final victim as William acted most brutally with her and stuffed her in the golden Freddy suit because there were no more left.
Damn, this is probably it, the problem is the people probably wont accept it because it was unsolved for so long they expect this to be some grand piece of lore.
While I'm happily open-minded to Midnight Motorist theories, and that this Gabriel theory seems plausible, here are the holes in this theory -Why the purple car? -Why does William/Scraptrap suit only leave one pair of footprints and not multiple sets of footprints trailing off in the same direction as the human footprints, and also no footprints trailing towards the window since William has to have gotten to there somehow from somewhere else, and lured Gabriel out? -What is the mound of dirt? -Why is the minigame named "later that night", as though it's talking about itself happening after some other event, rather than before it? -What is "that place" that Gabriel's father is referring to?
That place is presumably freddys, Later that night could be later that night that the mci happened and the purple car can be explained by another theory saying that Gabriel’s Father was falsely accused of the mci and taken into custody due to his drunken behavior and purple car which would be similar to william. Which they eventually let him out of custody the midnight motorist mini game ensues.
There's a lot of unanswerable questions due to the nature of the minigame. Like why the text is the colour it is, why the protagonist is banned from Jrs. I suspect Jrs is also the location the missing person went to. It's so funny to me that this minigame was meant to resolve loose threads but just wound up making everything a lot more convoluted.
It's so crazy how one mini game seems to spawn so many theories and interpretations. Whether it's the case or not, this MM theory is hands down my favorite I've heard so far. It feels like it makes the most sense honestly. Really good job 👏👏👏👍
I think the core premise of Yellow Man being an MCI kid’s leaves less holes than if Yellow Man is an Afton, or even Henry as some speculate. William being the town drunk is never even implied anywhere else, so putting it here (in a minigame that’s supposed to give us answers) would be really weird. However, Yellow Man being banned from the bar makes a lot more sense if it’s Scott trying to very quickly give us some details on a character we never met before. William or Henry referring to (what everyone assumes is) a Freddy’s location as “that place,” also seems weird, since its such a key part of their lives. I mean, I wouldn’t ever call my job “that place,” ESPECIALLY if I founded the place. While there are some holes in this theory, there are also holes in literally every Midnight Motorist theory, and overall I do think the general premise of Yellow Man’s identity is really sound. I think the biggest issues, as other people pointed out, as the lack of explanation for the “Later that night” name, and more importantly, the mound of dirt. Honestly, I could see the purple car just being some sort of coincidence or even deliberate misdirection, but the mound of dirt is a very intentional detail to where I’m convinced it has to mean SOMETHING. I’d love a follow-up video with your thoughts on what they could potentially mean (if you have any)
Does no one else realise neither crying’s child or Elizabeth’s room have windows? It’s crazy that nobody notices that, I mean sure Scott could just throw that away as a different design choice just like the animatronics through the games but it seems a pretty important detail to just discard as a design choice
I mean… Roxy has a new face with no explanation and it’s used for a plot point (being a node that can be deactivated with a faz wrench) so like, idk, sometimes that just happens maybe?
@@someonenamedsomeone9497 idk I feel like a window is a big deal to add or remove, it’s possible but in a game where map layouts are important I’d assume a window is kinda important but I could be wrong
Honestly, this makes the most sense. It's cohesive and has a good amount of evidence to back it up. A lot of other theorists say "this makes the most sense... if you ignore all of these other gaps."
4:36 I feel as if the stitched Bonnie suit would be a much better candidate than the Scraptrap Spring Bonnie suit, as it's most likely a springlock animatronic- Plus in Help Wanted, we see this stitched suit dancing outside of the LTN house... Seems like a red flag to me. It also lines up with Pizza Party.
That leaves about 2 statements from me: 1. It's just driving me crazy..... All day I've been seeing connections between Fritz and Jeremy. These are not only the names of the two of the missing children, but we see two people with the same name being the nightguards for FNAF 2. With matpat's newest theory showing the emphasis RUIN has on foxy and bonnie with its collectibles. With cassies dad potentially being the bonnie bully from FNAF 4. And now with your FNAF 6 theory(this one) showing that Fritz and Jeremy being the only ones to not get an arcade machine...... I feel it's all trying to tell me something. I feel like that scott has been planting seeds for the future with all these connection. And the there's also the facts that michael could very well be one of the nightguards in FNAF 2. Not only does Fritz smith tamper with the animatronics, and not only does he get fired for odor (same as what mike would goes through) But there still the name connection. Fritz and Jeremy. The bonnie and the foxy. The two animatronics mike can be associated with. If William is spring-bonnie. Then his son, michael, would be classic blue bonnie. Thus the connection between Jeremy. And we can't forget forget the fact that Mike's favorite animatronic used to be Foxy. Thus the connection between Fritz smith. And yet there's also the connection between the three fake identities if were to believe that all of them are in fact michael afton. Not only are FRITZ smith, And jeremy FITZgeRald similar. But so are michael SCHMIDT. And fritz SMITH. It would make sense for all of these to be identities mike chose. But there's still the question...... Why would Mike name himself after the dead kids? 2. And I also think that it's very likely that yellow man and William are related.
ITs possible that Jeremy and Fritz are two friends of Michael that bullied the CC with him. Twins or even just close friends, give their association in UCN.
I agree with the theory, except that the kid was from the MCI since William could have attracted another boy from the pizzeria and it would be easier, I think that in reality the boy from Midnight Motorist is Rory or a random kid who was kidnapped by William to experiment with him in the house of FNaF 4, and the mound outside the house could be an entrance to the Sister Location bunker that William would use to take the kid without being seen
Makes sense since the game showed us the victims of William afton charlie and Susie it would make sense if the child in this one was yet another victim instead of his kid who got killed by accident
My current theory is that YellowGuy is the vengeful spirit aka The One You Should Not Have Killed. Long story short, his wife died in childbirth. That's the grave he visits before going to the bar. "Later That Night" means MM takes place after Afton has already lured the kid away. YellowGuy finds the tracks and presumes the kid ran away to the pizzeria. That was the whole story up until Scott made UCN. Then he retroactively has YellowGuy follow his kid to the pizzeria, where he stumbles upon Afton's crime. Afton ambushes him and kills him. Then YellowGuy becomes TOYSNHK and was around the whole entire time only we never see evidence for his existence till UCN.
I think people forget how weather works, Scraptrap suit or not, rain can start and end at any time, Gabriel couldve been lured hours ago. The rain could also just be the sign tragedy struck.
Great video!!! I’ve been a big fan of your FNaF stuff, especially your old timeline video, that I wish you didn’t delete because I LOVED that video. I would watch that pretty much everyday. I look forward to watching more of your FNaF theory videos. Great work!!!!
I always hated how everyone just shrugged off the fact that orange guys is orange and believes he’s William anyway. If Scott really wanted it to be William then he would have been Purple, just like every single other time he’s depicted in the games.
2:53 From a Reddit post, we learn that William, along with his car, isn't literally purple, and instead would appear as black due to being seen in the dark, with the figures being purple to help the player see them. William's car in FNaF 4 is revealed to actually be blue. With this LTN car being purple. (It's technically not actually purple, but still) There's also two sets of cars on the scene of Charlotte death, the one who drove in front of the restaurant, and the one that drove away from the allyway.
I had an idea for midnight motors. If Andrew is the MM kid what if “ that place again” is JR and the reason the orange guy can’t get in is because he got caught abusing his son at the location Remember, green guy specifically says “ come on YOU know you can’t be here don’t make things harder than Has to be” The building isn’t on lockdown or anything he specifically is not allowed to be there What is the reason why Orange guy says “ he’ll be sorry when he gets back” is because he knows he can’t get Andrew himself because he’s banned from the building so he has to wait for Andrew Obviously though, I don’t think Andrew went to that place again because I believe this is when William kidnaps him for a nightmare experiments. As for what jrs is at this point, I’m just gonna go with it being a FredBear or Freddy’s location. Midnight motorist is after Charlie dies because of the rain and the later that night nobody’s discovered her body yet.
This makes sense! I also think it's interesting that Scott kind of keeps reusing this idea of kids being lured from their homes back to the pizzeria (Toy Chica anime, You're the Band, Abby and GF in the movie) (I also think Coming Home had a similar thing happen but I don't fully remember.)
It was left ambiguous how Susie was lured in Coming Home. Samantha thinks Susie might have been looking for a hiding place for their doll, but it's never confirmed. But yeah, there's definitely a pattern.
I don't know why Scaptrap was needed. You could have said "The same outfit that Glitchtrap has" and it would worked out well. And I think you associated very well the idea of Gabriel being the one who was lured to the Pizzeria.
out of all the MM theories, I like this one the most. Another thing thats been on my mind, Are we sure those are footprints? the look kinda like grass to me no? unless im forgetting something. good vid though!
MM being about one of the missing children has always made the most sense to me, because of the other minigames like you pointed out and the thematic connection w the lorekeeper ending! For me it always felt like the more satisfying answer than it being about Afton (also, I could just never place it in a place in the timeline if it is William) SO ye! great theory that put some of my thoughts into words :D
I’ve been saying this exact narrative (minus scrap trap not being a springlock suit and my old interpretation being it was not raining at the time) and no one believed me I LOVE your theory keep up the good work
I legit came to this same conclusion a few months ago and so happy some one did too. I just couldn't figure out who from the tombstones it could of been. The name of the game still bothers me. Later that night. Would that wording imply this is a second part to an already known even seen in the games?
@@SC-ec8xe The mound is where either a spring bonnie/bonnie suit is kept. The evidence for this is in fruity maze, where a spring bonnie/bonnie suit is seen half buried in the ground. The three toes are also a reference to spring bonnie/a bonnie suit. The reason there is only one set of footprints is that he emerges from the bushes, then goes back into them. Evidence for this is glitchtrap being shown dancing outside a house in the woods in a curse of dreadbear Easter egg.
5:17 We also see it in Animatronic Apocalypse, where the Dark Remnant if William Afton burrows itself underground at night. (Note that the Twisted animatronics only burry themselves during the day instead of the night)
William is a mimic of Henry, Michael is a mimic of Crying Child made by William, CC is the child of Henry, Michael is the “child” of William , FNAF 4, i think parts of it, the 8bit parts maybe more, are memories of or even showing us, William attempting to implant the memories of Crying Child into Michael, Michael is the name of the crying child, the older bro bot takes over the name as he learns more about “his” past I think the retcon is that Puppet isn’t Charlie anymore, it’s Elizabeth, Williams “daughter” is really Henry’s daughter in an animatronic
I've believed for a long time that the metallic parts of scraptrap are simply the Springtrap ones, and all he did was remove the burnt suit which was more restrictive than the Scraptrap one, giving him the ability to speak again.
I said this on another MM video, and I still feel the same way: Wasn't Pizzaria Simulator meant to be the final game? It was meant to tie up loose ends and explain everything. Why would Scott put in a minigame of a concept that hasn't been introduced yet, and one we'd have almost no way of understanding or solving? I'm not denying that MM is solved. I think it probably is. I just think it's an illogical set up.
Scott doesn't seem to have the best understanding of how people will interpret his games. He didn't think that teasing FNAF4 as being in 1987 over and over just for it to end up being in 1983 would cause confusion, nor did he think people would be confused by the addition of a second purple guy.
At the end of the first game there's a newspaper clipping that talks about 2 murders and an arrest based off security footage, if the footage was only outside and all they saw was a purple car it's totally possible that yellow guy was assumed to be the murderer because his car is the same as Afton's and because his son recently went missing and he didn't have an alibi since the bar turned him away
Personally i think that the reason Why the Yellow man is well…Yellow is because William isn’t literally purple as you said. hes shown Purple because he is a shady guy. So to represent this ‘Not hiding in the shadows william’ they used the Opposite color of Purple,Yellow Also William isn’t nessesarily Untied to Yellow. He used Spring Bonnie as a performer and to kill kids,He used A yellow Suit to murder the DCI(fredbear or spring bonnie most likely) And There’s his infamous Purple Man with a Yellow Badge sprite.(which is also present in FNAF 4) So while i think this an interesting take. I still think that MM could be William post charlie’s death
One thing I’m wondering about this theory is that if the mini-games are about the kids. Why focus on the dad so much? Like Charlie and Susie had focus on them. Why focus on Gabriel’s dad?
I think there is an answer that was intended at the time and possibly another answer as the story constantly changes whenever Scott wants really. If this is Gabriel then what’s the purpose of showing this? What questions does it answer?
Same question can be applied to Fruty maze. Why is Scott showing us how Suzie got manipulated by William? I think the answer would be that Scott just wanted to show us how William lured kids and what types of kids he lured. Scott with these minigames is basically saying "William went after kids who were in vulnerable situations, like Suzie with the death of her dog, and this kid that lived in an abusive household." Why is he showing us this in particular? I'd believe it's just to have the complete story, and not have unanswered questions fans might have about the MCI.
@@LadyLuckyLu That makes sense. Midnight Motorist is by far the most mysterious and vague part of fnaf, and the simplest answer is probably the correct one.
Personaly I really like this interpretation of midnight motorist. It answers a lot. The only thing I'm not completely sure with, would be Gabriel being the victim. Otherwise great theory!
Imma be real I always felt like WA would drive a purple 1964 pontiac Bonnieville, it's a car that I think would fit the feeling of him being a co-founder or a extremely successful business while also being old enough to be cheaper in the 70s and 80s. Add some rust and dents over time and you get a kinds creepy looking car too. Him having a pickup truck don't feel right to me
William is not purple because purple only serves to show William in shadows,when he's a killer,hence why the shadows of Fredbear and Springbonnie in Fnaf 4 minigames are purple
I think you’re missing some key points about the Afton mm theory, such as the fact that Crying child wasn’t a whiny bitch until the events of midnight motorist, and Michael can still be protective of his younger brother whilst trolling him. And the window wasn’t broken by the crying child, as clearly shown by the fact that there is no glass on the outside. Also Freddy and Bonnie are killed together, and last. If your theory is still to be true, The runaway must be Foxy, but I don’t know enough about the books or extended lore to know how he died, so it may not even be possible. Besides, your theory leaves more unanswered questions than Afton MM.
Yellow man is purple guy, which is why he’s yellow (the opposite color of purple) because he isn’t evil or a child murderer yet, he’s the opposite, he wants kids to be happy not dead.
I's say this is after Charlie's murder. So he IS a murderer, BUT! He's currently not doing anything shady, and is also not in the shadows. Therefore, he is yellow.
I mean, valid, but this theory leaves a lot more blanks then the others. Why is it called “later that night”? Why is the person SPECIFICALLY not allowed into jr’s? Where did the idea of a normal suit came from when all this time it’s implied that William was using the spring Bonnie this whole time. Why introduce the deaths of only 3 kids and omitting the other 2-3? Wouldn’t it make more sense for Scott to show us what happened to Charlie, One kids murder to clarify and affirm that yes William was killing in spring Bonnie and how he was doing it, and lastly Williams and (in my opinion) Micheals situation at home?
Really good theory, just have some notes you can maybe think about. First up, I don't know what this adds to the story. I feel like there should be a greater point to this minigame. I also feel like Fruity Maze already represents all of the mci children through Suzy. Cassidy is at the moment so unclear, but she feels so important. Maybe this was Scott adding to his/her story. So than you have all of the gravestones represented (which was a really good detail of you to point out). I'm not sure if Cassidy is a girl, but I don't know that much about her. But if she is, wellll then maybe it is not impossible that this minigame is about her, like you said. Keep on theorizing man!
I disagree with the "there should be a greater point to this minigame", the only reason people think that is because it took them so long to figure it out that, it made us believe that it was really important. I blame Scott for making the car purple in the first place lol (If this theory is correct ofc)
@@blitzes3177 Agreed, people only say "It has to be really important" because since, it's really difficult to figure it out, it HAS to mean something deeper. Again, I blame the car for being purple in the first place lol
Okay, that makes some sense. Two of the minigames are about MCI victims and the third should be about one either. I can even put aside all the details that heavely imply that it's Afton's house and William himself. (Purple car, lone house in the forest, dude in grey shirt in front of TV, the fact that yellow dude can't go persumably into fnaf 2 location because of the investigation of MCI) But why Wiiliam after killing 4 kids in specific manner decides to kill the 5th one in other way? How or...why did he bury himself wearing a suit? How did he change his suit from springtrap to other one beetween fnaf 3 and FFPS? This is the problem with this minigame. A lot of details can prove one of the theories but left aside details disaprove it. P.S. I had an idea right now. What if this runaway-boy is Gregory? FFPS was released after Silver eyes and Twisted ones. The book trilogy that gave to us robot-Gregory and him being the crying child theories.
That’s a load of Shit The Box is way more mysterious and confusing than Midnight motorist If I had to ask Scott one question it be what’s in the box If I asked him a second question it would be when are we getting endless tycoon mode for FNAF 6 If I asked him a third question it would be midnight motorist
Two issues I’d have is that A. William does have a car, we saw that in the fnaf mini games prior when he killed Charlie. B. Why is it called later that night? What happened earlier on? Just those two things would need to be tackled for me to be sold, otherwise I’d say we gotta keep looking.
1:52 why couldnt Scott give William normal clothes in the fnaf4 minigame yet decided to make him purple. Orange guy and green guy are the only people beeing show with just a specific color while Scott could have just make them look normal If they werent someone important,yet the person on the couch got normal color skin similar to Michael.
Also Scott pointed 2 times that William is somehow related to yellow/Orange The fredbear plush he speaks to during fnaf4 and the Fruity Maze minigame where he lures Suzie,his text color it's YELLOW.
You mentioned it at the beginning of the video but I didn’t really see a connection throughout the video. Why is it called “later that night”? What happened before on this same day?
this is not very likely but what if the minigame actually is way back in the past and the orange guy was williams father who would abuse him as a child
I don't think MM depicts anything from the MCI... I still think it's right before Charlie is murdered... I think JR's is at least a bar and (to me) is the building that the OG Fredbear's Family Diner location was. Still a good video.
This doesn’t explain the why it’s called later that night tho and I know a bunch of the details seems like they don’t matter but combine the file name the purple car and the fact that it us raining gives strong evidence to it being about william after he killed charlie
bro you are so soft spoken. I'm subbin to you but why so quiet? im listening then THE ADS START PLAYING AND NOW IM DEAF! jk great video im subbed thanks bro
i don’t find this theory to be likely imo, why does william magically not leave footprints and what purpose does this minigame serve? we already have a minigame of an mci kid being killed/lured so it’s just redundant, and orange guys cryptic dialogue would just be entirely irrelevant and there to mislead us which i just don’t think is likely.
There is a good reason for William not being purple which is cause purple represents him in the Shadows when he isn’t in MM also it’s far too obvious and the propel cars is already an indicator also it shows that William was drunk and likely jealous giving him motive also William being an abusive father was established in the novels which is identical to his game counterpart
the Scrap-trap detail sounds like the least contrived aspect imo, maybe I'm biased for wanting more details that lead to more answers, but I just have no problems with it being an answer. however, aside from the purple car (which could be a cheeky misdirect by Scott), you didn't seem to go into the "later that night" aspect; at the very least, it should mean that this event occurred after some other event that we should be previously familiar with.
So we're gonna use the fact that in the files it's called later that night but not gonna use the fact that in the files the dirt mound is called a grave?
@almightykellus2585 Yeah that's probably where I heard it from. Still if it's referred to as that then I feel like it should definitely be used in every theory for Midnight Motorist
I mean, Scott made a whole minigame just for Suzie, one of the MCI, why can't Midnight Motorist be the same? The Jr's it's just that, a bar, the green guy stop us because we go there regularly, we are an alcoholic. And for the purple car, I have no clue lol
@@LadyLuckyLu I mean Suzie is kinda important because she’s the first victim and it gives insight on how afton did what he did Assuming this is Gabriel it’s weird he does only one other character. Why couldn’t THIS have been suzie And assuming this is rory this is even worse because we were just expected to think nothing of this minigame. It’s meaningless because it has no importance. We didn’t even know who Rory was until now
Here’s a massive comment explains why the runaway is CC. The run away was already trying to run away without needing intervention. This is explicitly stated in MM by captain mustard. Now imagine your locked up after running away. Then your favorite character personally comes to pick you up. That’s a great reason to smash window if you a young child who lacks personal responsibility. I don’t see Will going full uncle Ben, lol. Immortal and the restless is mostly about miss Afton and Michael. Miss Afton loves her kids. While Will is trying to avoid taking care of them. The baby is mostly Michael. But is also about the other two kids. Elizabeth is in Circus Baby, and CC is referred to as a cry baby. After her divorce is left with none of the kids. While Will is left with all the kids. Making it so neither one got what they want. Being a great sign of a tragedy. It would also explain why their isn’t a grave stone. Because he feels personally slighted. That’s why he’d want to kill Charlie. Because he lost the thing he loved. That being his wife. While his friend still had his wife, and loved his children. This would likely lead to him blaming his kids. Rather then his own bad behavior. In the Dwako interview, Scott said that he needed to fix the story, after Fnaf 4. The big thing about Fnaf 4 was that it was missing was a in-sighting incident. Without that theirs no story. I have a lot of Fnaf 4 theories but the lack of a in sighting incident. Makes it impossible to theorize about. Because theirs no way to intuit the order of events. I would recommend watching filmentos dark light video, to learn more about a in sighting incident. Now you can imply a in sighting incident. Like Marcelines and Princess Bubblegums break up. However that’s a sub plot. And several episodes give you more then a enough understanding, about why the two would break up. “I’m just your problem”. Being a great example as to why the two would break up. Btw. Yes. I have watched Obsidian. It was good. As for Wills color. The mechanic of yellow things becoming purple in shadow. Was hardly scene in fnaf four. Also it would makes sense that would want to reintroduce that mechanic. Because that mechanic is what allows CC to mistake Shadow Freddy for Fred Bear. As to why Will isn’t purple mechanically. It’s because of the unreliable narrator. As the mini game is told from Wills perspective. As to the bunny suit. That’s great idea. However their aren’t foot prints leading to the window. Just to steel man. The house both in that game, and in fnaf 4. The house has a wooden porch. If the character is a ghost that explains their isn’t set leading to the window. In Fnaf Sister Location, the tv room dosnt look like it’s a corner. As for Shadow Freddy’s motive. You can interpret that he’s good or uncaring in fnaf two and three. However Nightmare is referenced as being shadow in the game files. Re painting him as being bad. This is furthered by fnaf world. In Ultimate custom night. Nightmare spifficaly says that he isn’t. While nightmare Freddy refers to him self as a shadow. One more thing Shadow Freddy is mainly shown to mimic Freddy. Explaining why the foot prints would be their. As for more proof. MM gives a origin as to why the locks on the door are flipped in both the mini game and game play of fnaf 4. CC seeing the nightmares explains why he is scarred of Foxy. And him being locked in his room explains why he’s scarred of being trapped.
Here's my interpretation: Orange Guy: Willian Sofa person: Mrs Afton or a caretaker Runaway: Michael I like this because its simple, doesn't rely on later lore or the assumption of an interlinked puzzle. In my opinion, FNAF should be treated as a story first. Willian is orange because Scott wanted it so, either so it didn't blend too much with the dark environment or another reason. There is no broken glass on the outside because it wouldn't look good on a 8-bit game. This is also why the layout of the living room can't be compared with others, neither the fact that elizabeth's room is not present. Also, love how people say it's Michael on the sofa based on his shirt colour and the fact he's watching TV.

Yeah this seems like the most likely explanation to me, all the evidence rounds up really well and there’s far more to support this theory than there is to suggest you play as William and the runaway is one of his sons. It honestly fits so well that I would consider it solved, this is fantastic! The fact that Scott clarifies this in UCN with Toy Chica’s dialogue cements it for me. Well done!
Interestingly, we do probably know what happened to Jeremy. Comedy Bot in SB says…
"Aren't parents the worst? Any of you kids have parents? Don't you hate it when your parents take you somewhere fun then abandon you? They are all like: "I guess if I dump little Jeremy off at his favorite pizzeria before I move to Aruba, that makes me a good parent.""
Well, on the bright side, that makes one less grieving family!
This is the first theory about this minigame that has made like 99% sense to me.
"But there should be a greater point to this minigame" people only think that bc, since it is difficult to figure it out - and the fact that the car is purple-, it HAS to mean something important, it HAS to be about William. When it really doesn't have to be. Scott even made the sprites very vague in details, as to say "Hey don't worry about these guys, they don't matter, these are NOT the Afton's" At this point in time, we have already seen the sprites for Mike, CC and William; why would he make completely new ones? To confuse us? Maybe lol (looks at the purple car), but in all honesty, I don't think so.
What sells me on this, is the fact that Fruty maze exists and it's about of one the MCI, Suzie. If Fruity Maze was about one of the MCI, why not Midnight Motorist?
Also, we play as an abusive father, and for what we have seen from William in the games, he's not really like that; hell I even think he was a protective one. He tried to protect Elizabeth from getting close to Baby, and cared enough to "put back together" CC.
The only thing I disagree with, is that William used another suit to lure this kid. I believe he used the one he always uses, Spring Bonnie; "but what about the rain?" Easy, when William got to the house, it wasn't raining yet. After all, the game is called "Later that night"
Looks like William went after kids who were in pretty vulnerable situations, Suzie after the death of her dog; and this kid that lived in an abusive household. It was easier to get them close to him.
The only thing about the minigame that still has me confused, and no theory has a really satisfying answer, is the mound, but anyways, I LOVE this theory, especially that Chica line that you added, it made me go "OH SHIIIT THAT MAKES SENSE" lol. Great job! Sorry for the lengthy comment haha
dude wonderful analysis lol. i always look for comments like these.
@@miwr I was expecting someone to say "Too long didn't read" or smth lol. Glad to hear you liked it! And thank you!
More people like You 🙌🙌
William didn't give a damn about his kids but yeah either way the orange guy doesn't have to be William
@@socrates546 the dude clearly wants to bring cc back and cared enough to keep his daughter away from baby hes not the best father but in the games he was never displayed to be drunk and abusive, hes still a psycho tho.
The FNAF1 newspapers imply MCI is five kids, and some of the footage shows two boys being lured in at the same time. Susie and Cassidy are accounted for as Chica and G. Freddy respectively, and we know two kids were lured in at the same time, leading to the story of the 5th child being untold. If Midnight Motorist is that story, then here’s (maybe) how the MCI goes:
1:Susie is targeted first using the dog that she lost (now presumably mangle or revived by remnant, or William is just lying).
2: Two boys are lured into the back together, this is seen on camera and is the inciting incident for the investigation listed in the papers.
3: A fourth child is lured in, presumably Cassidy.
4: William leaves in a normal costume, in the rain, after the restaurant has closed, to pick up a child from their home. The child is eager to leave because their dad is the town drunk.
5: Give Gifts, Give Life takes place, and 6 haunted animatronics (and maybe dog mangle and database powered toy animatronics) are now all trying to kill William/Michael/Jeremy in all the games.
In other words, we now know at least some details about the 5 FNAF 1 animatronics and where/who the souls originated from.
Also, if Gabriel is the final child, that means the two that are lured together are Jeremy and Fritz, who are also linked due to FNAF 2
I agree with everything besides Cassidy, as it is pretty implied she is the final victim as William acted most brutally with her and stuffed her in the golden Freddy suit because there were no more left.
Damn, this is probably it, the problem is the people probably wont accept it because it was unsolved for so long they expect this to be some grand piece of lore.
This! People are already saying that in this very comment section lol
While I'm happily open-minded to Midnight Motorist theories, and that this Gabriel theory seems plausible, here are the holes in this theory
-Why the purple car?
-Why does William/Scraptrap suit only leave one pair of footprints and not multiple sets of footprints trailing off in the same direction as the human footprints, and also no footprints trailing towards the window since William has to have gotten to there somehow from somewhere else, and lured Gabriel out?
-What is the mound of dirt?
-Why is the minigame named "later that night", as though it's talking about itself happening after some other event, rather than before it?
-What is "that place" that Gabriel's father is referring to?
That place is presumably freddys, Later that night could be later that night that the mci happened and the purple car can be explained by another theory saying that Gabriel’s Father was falsely accused of the mci and taken into custody due to his drunken behavior and purple car which would be similar to william. Which they eventually let him out of custody the midnight motorist mini game ensues.
There's a lot of unanswerable questions due to the nature of the minigame. Like why the text is the colour it is, why the protagonist is banned from Jrs. I suspect Jrs is also the location the missing person went to.
It's so funny to me that this minigame was meant to resolve loose threads but just wound up making everything a lot more convoluted.
It's so crazy how one mini game seems to spawn so many theories and interpretations. Whether it's the case or not, this MM theory is hands down my favorite I've heard so far. It feels like it makes the most sense honestly. Really good job 👏👏👏👍
I think the core premise of Yellow Man being an MCI kid’s leaves less holes than if Yellow Man is an Afton, or even Henry as some speculate.
William being the town drunk is never even implied anywhere else, so putting it here (in a minigame that’s supposed to give us answers) would be really weird. However, Yellow Man being banned from the bar makes a lot more sense if it’s Scott trying to very quickly give us some details on a character we never met before.
William or Henry referring to (what everyone assumes is) a Freddy’s location as “that place,” also seems weird, since its such a key part of their lives. I mean, I wouldn’t ever call my job “that place,” ESPECIALLY if I founded the place.
While there are some holes in this theory, there are also holes in literally every Midnight Motorist theory, and overall I do think the general premise of Yellow Man’s identity is really sound.
I think the biggest issues, as other people pointed out, as the lack of explanation for the “Later that night” name, and more importantly, the mound of dirt.
Honestly, I could see the purple car just being some sort of coincidence or even deliberate misdirection, but the mound of dirt is a very intentional detail to where I’m convinced it has to mean SOMETHING.
I’d love a follow-up video with your thoughts on what they could potentially mean (if you have any)
2:43 The Midnight Motorist house has a total of 2 rooms, I think its interior is a bit of an abstraction for the sake of simplifying gameplay.
Does no one else realise neither crying’s child or Elizabeth’s room have windows? It’s crazy that nobody notices that, I mean sure Scott could just throw that away as a different design choice just like the animatronics through the games but it seems a pretty important detail to just discard as a design choice
I mean… Roxy has a new face with no explanation and it’s used for a plot point (being a node that can be deactivated with a faz wrench) so like, idk, sometimes that just happens maybe?
thats crazy dude. both of crying child's rooms dont have windows. thats a hella good point.
@@someonenamedsomeone9497 idk I feel like a window is a big deal to add or remove, it’s possible but in a game where map layouts are important I’d assume a window is kinda important but I could be wrong
@@miwr I know right it’s crazy
Honestly, this makes the most sense. It's cohesive and has a good amount of evidence to back it up. A lot of other theorists say "this makes the most sense... if you ignore all of these other gaps."
This is my favorite midnight motorist interpretation! I definitely agree about the truck being added feels intentional.
Makes sense.
4:36
I feel as if the stitched Bonnie suit would be a much better candidate than the Scraptrap Spring Bonnie suit, as it's most likely a springlock animatronic-
Plus in Help Wanted, we see this stitched suit dancing outside of the LTN house...
Seems like a red flag to me.
It also lines up with Pizza Party.
True. That was my original pick, but I was hesitant to attribute the footprints to a costume we hadn't yet seen when FFPS released.
Holy shit I feel like you cracked it! This is a really well put together theory, keep up the good work!
That leaves about 2 statements from me:
1. It's just driving me crazy..... All day I've been seeing connections between Fritz and Jeremy.
These are not only the names of the two of the missing children, but we see two people with the same name being the nightguards for FNAF 2.
With matpat's newest theory showing the emphasis RUIN has on foxy and bonnie with its collectibles.
With cassies dad potentially being the bonnie bully from FNAF 4.
And now with your FNAF 6 theory(this one) showing that Fritz and Jeremy being the only ones to not get an arcade machine...... I feel it's all trying to tell me something. I feel like that scott has been planting seeds for the future with all these connection.
And the there's also the facts that michael could very well be one of the nightguards in FNAF 2.
Not only does Fritz smith tamper with the animatronics, and not only does he get fired for odor (same as what mike would goes through)
But there still the name connection. Fritz and Jeremy. The bonnie and the foxy. The two animatronics mike can be associated with. If William is spring-bonnie. Then his son, michael, would be classic blue bonnie. Thus the connection between Jeremy.
And we can't forget forget the fact that Mike's favorite animatronic used to be Foxy. Thus the connection between Fritz smith.
And yet there's also the connection between the three fake identities if were to believe that all of them are in fact michael afton.
Not only are FRITZ smith,
And jeremy FITZgeRald similar.
But so are michael SCHMIDT.
And fritz SMITH.
It would make sense for all of these to be identities mike chose.
But there's still the question...... Why would Mike name himself after the dead kids?
2. And I also think that it's very likely that yellow man and William are related.
And there's also the you're the band connection cementing my FNAF 2 theory.
ITs possible that Jeremy and Fritz are two friends of Michael that bullied the CC with him. Twins or even just close friends, give their association in UCN.
@@lollernoob5375 let's assume that to be then could Jeremy be Cassie's dad?
I agree with the theory, except that the kid was from the MCI since William could have attracted another boy from the pizzeria and it would be easier, I think that in reality the boy from Midnight Motorist is Rory or a random kid who was kidnapped by William to experiment with him in the house of FNaF 4, and the mound outside the house could be an entrance to the Sister Location bunker that William would use to take the kid without being seen
Makes sense since the game showed us the victims of William afton charlie and Susie it would make sense if the child in this one was yet another victim instead of his kid who got killed by accident
My current theory is that YellowGuy is the vengeful spirit aka The One You Should Not Have Killed. Long story short, his wife died in childbirth. That's the grave he visits before going to the bar. "Later That Night" means MM takes place after Afton has already lured the kid away. YellowGuy finds the tracks and presumes the kid ran away to the pizzeria. That was the whole story up until Scott made UCN. Then he retroactively has YellowGuy follow his kid to the pizzeria, where he stumbles upon Afton's crime. Afton ambushes him and kills him. Then YellowGuy becomes TOYSNHK and was around the whole entire time only we never see evidence for his existence till UCN.
I think people forget how weather works, Scraptrap suit or not, rain can start and end at any time, Gabriel couldve been lured hours ago. The rain could also just be the sign tragedy struck.
Great video!!! I’ve been a big fan of your FNaF stuff, especially your old timeline video, that I wish you didn’t delete because I LOVED that video. I would watch that pretty much everyday. I look forward to watching more of your FNaF theory videos. Great work!!!!
I always hated how everyone just shrugged off the fact that orange guys is orange and believes he’s William anyway. If Scott really wanted it to be William then he would have been Purple, just like every single other time he’s depicted in the games.
2:53
From a Reddit post, we learn that William, along with his car, isn't literally purple, and instead would appear as black due to being seen in the dark, with the figures being purple to help the player see them.
William's car in FNaF 4 is revealed to actually be blue.
With this LTN car being purple. (It's technically not actually purple, but still)
There's also two sets of cars on the scene of Charlotte death, the one who drove in front of the restaurant, and the one that drove away from the allyway.
I had an idea for midnight motors. If Andrew is the MM kid what if “ that place again” is JR and the reason the orange guy can’t get in is because he got caught abusing his son at the location
Remember, green guy specifically says “ come on YOU know you can’t be here don’t make things harder than Has to be”
The building isn’t on lockdown or anything he specifically is not allowed to be there
What is the reason why Orange guy says “ he’ll be sorry when he gets back” is because he knows he can’t get Andrew himself because he’s banned from the building so he has to wait for Andrew
Obviously though, I don’t think Andrew went to that place again because I believe this is when William kidnaps him for a nightmare experiments.
As for what jrs is at this point, I’m just gonna go with it being a FredBear or Freddy’s location.
Midnight motorist is after Charlie dies because of the rain and the later that night nobody’s discovered her body yet.
This makes sense! I also think it's interesting that Scott kind of keeps reusing this idea of kids being lured from their homes back to the pizzeria (Toy Chica anime, You're the Band, Abby and GF in the movie) (I also think Coming Home had a similar thing happen but I don't fully remember.)
It was left ambiguous how Susie was lured in Coming Home. Samantha thinks Susie might have been looking for a hiding place for their doll, but it's never confirmed. But yeah, there's definitely a pattern.
Chica did lure the other half of Susie's soul back to the pizzeria every night, though
@@alenaswoodlands Yeah sorry that's what I was referring to, Chica luring her.
Well then this Theory sure age well
Yk it adds up, definitely gonna be thinking about this for a bit 🤔
I don’t think using evidence from the scraped book is a good idea, but this is a decent theory
I don't know why Scaptrap was needed. You could have said "The same outfit that Glitchtrap has" and it would worked out well.
And I think you associated very well the idea of Gabriel being the one who was lured to the Pizzeria.
great theory
out of all the MM theories, I like this one the most. Another thing thats been on my mind, Are we sure those are footprints? the look kinda like grass to me no? unless im forgetting something. good vid though!
MM being about one of the missing children has always made the most sense to me, because of the other minigames like you pointed out and the thematic connection w the lorekeeper ending! For me it always felt like the more satisfying answer than it being about Afton (also, I could just never place it in a place in the timeline if it is William)
SO ye! great theory that put some of my thoughts into words :D
This is the only theory I've seen that makes sense!
I’ve been saying this exact narrative (minus scrap trap not being a springlock suit and my old interpretation being it was not raining at the time) and no one believed me I LOVE your theory keep up the good work
I legit came to this same conclusion a few months ago and so happy some one did too. I just couldn't figure out who from the tombstones it could of been. The name of the game still bothers me.
Later that night. Would that wording imply this is a second part to an already known even seen in the games?
It’s called “later that night” because the title is “midnight motorist”. He gets off the motorway after midnight, later that night.
Then what is the mound? And the singular 3 toed footprints? Its a decent interpretation but it doesnt line up with everything we are presented with.
@@SC-ec8xe The mound is where either a spring bonnie/bonnie suit is kept. The evidence for this is in fruity maze, where a spring bonnie/bonnie suit is seen half buried in the ground.
The three toes are also a reference to spring bonnie/a bonnie suit. The reason there is only one set of footprints is that he emerges from the bushes, then goes back into them. Evidence for this is glitchtrap being shown dancing outside a house in the woods in a curse of dreadbear Easter egg.
5:17
We also see it in Animatronic Apocalypse, where the Dark Remnant if William Afton burrows itself underground at night.
(Note that the Twisted animatronics only burry themselves during the day instead of the night)
William is a mimic of Henry, Michael is a mimic of Crying Child made by William, CC is the child of Henry, Michael is the “child” of William , FNAF 4, i think parts of it, the 8bit parts maybe more, are memories of or even showing us, William attempting to implant the memories of Crying Child into Michael, Michael is the name of the crying child, the older bro bot takes over the name as he learns more about “his” past
I think the retcon is that Puppet isn’t Charlie anymore, it’s Elizabeth, Williams “daughter” is really Henry’s daughter in an animatronic
I've believed for a long time that the metallic parts of scraptrap are simply the Springtrap ones, and all he did was remove the burnt suit which was more restrictive than the Scraptrap one, giving him the ability to speak again.
Does Scraptrap even have metallic parts?
@@syweb2 clearly visible endoskeleton yes, it's not just flesh and bones
I said this on another MM video, and I still feel the same way:
Wasn't Pizzaria Simulator meant to be the final game? It was meant to tie up loose ends and explain everything. Why would Scott put in a minigame of a concept that hasn't been introduced yet, and one we'd have almost no way of understanding or solving?
I'm not denying that MM is solved. I think it probably is. I just think it's an illogical set up.
Scott doesn't seem to have the best understanding of how people will interpret his games. He didn't think that teasing FNAF4 as being in 1987 over and over just for it to end up being in 1983 would cause confusion, nor did he think people would be confused by the addition of a second purple guy.
time to spin this around... no glass on the outside implying it was broken into not broken out of
At the end of the first game there's a newspaper clipping that talks about 2 murders and an arrest based off security footage, if the footage was only outside and all they saw was a purple car it's totally possible that yellow guy was assumed to be the murderer because his car is the same as Afton's and because his son recently went missing and he didn't have an alibi since the bar turned him away
Before Dittophobia, I was firm believer in AftonMM and, ignoring Dittophobia, this 100% would have changed my mind.
Thanks! I won't talk about the details of Dittophobia on this channel until it officially releases, but I can say that I have taken it into account.
Personally i think that the reason Why the Yellow man is well…Yellow is because William isn’t literally purple as you said. hes shown Purple because he is a shady guy. So to represent this ‘Not hiding in the shadows william’ they used the Opposite color of Purple,Yellow
Also William isn’t nessesarily Untied to Yellow. He used Spring Bonnie as a performer and to kill kids,He used A yellow Suit to murder the DCI(fredbear or spring bonnie most likely)
And There’s his infamous Purple Man with a Yellow Badge sprite.(which is also present in FNAF 4)
So while i think this an interesting take. I still think that MM could be William post charlie’s death
One thing I’m wondering about this theory is that if the mini-games are about the kids. Why focus on the dad so much? Like Charlie and Susie had focus on them. Why focus on Gabriel’s dad?
I think there is an answer that was intended at the time and possibly another answer as the story constantly changes whenever Scott wants really. If this is Gabriel then what’s the purpose of showing this? What questions does it answer?
Same question can be applied to Fruty maze. Why is Scott showing us how Suzie got manipulated by William? I think the answer would be that Scott just wanted to show us how William lured kids and what types of kids he lured.
Scott with these minigames is basically saying "William went after kids who were in vulnerable situations, like Suzie with the death of her dog, and this kid that lived in an abusive household."
Why is he showing us this in particular? I'd believe it's just to have the complete story, and not have unanswered questions fans might have about the MCI.
@@LadyLuckyLu That makes sense. Midnight Motorist is by far the most mysterious and vague part of fnaf, and the simplest answer is probably the correct one.
Yes! I’ve been thinking this for years!
Makes sense, since we see the story of chica, we had to see freddy's story as well, i wonder if we will get something for bonnie or foxy
Personaly I really like this interpretation of midnight motorist. It answers a lot. The only thing I'm not completely sure with, would be Gabriel being the victim.
Otherwise great theory!
Imma be real I always felt like WA would drive a purple 1964 pontiac Bonnieville, it's a car that I think would fit the feeling of him being a co-founder or a extremely successful business while also being old enough to be cheaper in the 70s and 80s. Add some rust and dents over time and you get a kinds creepy looking car too. Him having a pickup truck don't feel right to me
William is not purple because purple only serves to show William in shadows,when he's a killer,hence why the shadows of Fredbear and Springbonnie in Fnaf 4 minigames are purple
This makes sense and doesn't have to twist and turn things into fitting into place
I think you’re missing some key points about the Afton mm theory, such as the fact that Crying child wasn’t a whiny bitch until the events of midnight motorist, and Michael can still be protective of his younger brother whilst trolling him. And the window wasn’t broken by the crying child, as clearly shown by the fact that there is no glass on the outside.
Also Freddy and Bonnie are killed together, and last. If your theory is still to be true, The runaway must be Foxy, but I don’t know enough about the books or extended lore to know how he died, so it may not even be possible. Besides, your theory leaves more unanswered questions than Afton MM.
I mean that makes more sense than my explanation, so, OK I’ll integrate that into my beliefs.
This is probably it. I feel confident
Yellow man is purple guy, which is why he’s yellow (the opposite color of purple) because he isn’t evil or a child murderer yet, he’s the opposite, he wants kids to be happy not dead.
I's say this is after Charlie's murder. So he IS a murderer, BUT! He's currently not doing anything shady, and is also not in the shadows. Therefore, he is yellow.
I mean, valid, but this theory leaves a lot more blanks then the others. Why is it called “later that night”? Why is the person SPECIFICALLY not allowed into jr’s? Where did the idea of a normal suit came from when all this time it’s implied that William was using the spring Bonnie this whole time. Why introduce the deaths of only 3 kids and omitting the other 2-3? Wouldn’t it make more sense for Scott to show us what happened to Charlie, One kids murder to clarify and affirm that yes William was killing in spring Bonnie and how he was doing it, and lastly Williams and (in my opinion) Micheals situation at home?
You did it, this is totally right
Really good theory, just have some notes you can maybe think about. First up, I don't know what this adds to the story. I feel like there should be a greater point to this minigame. I also feel like Fruity Maze already represents all of the mci children through Suzy. Cassidy is at the moment so unclear, but she feels so important. Maybe this was Scott adding to his/her story. So than you have all of the gravestones represented (which was a really good detail of you to point out). I'm not sure if Cassidy is a girl, but I don't know that much about her. But if she is, wellll then maybe it is not impossible that this minigame is about her, like you said. Keep on theorizing man!
Fair, it is a bit of an underwhelming answer. As for Cassidy, though, I have a lot of thoughts about her that I might make a separate video on.
@@alenaswoodlands Alright, looking forward to it!
“Sometimes a story is just a story”. It’s just showing more detail into the MCI. It’s not supposed to have much meaning.
I disagree with the "there should be a greater point to this minigame", the only reason people think that is because it took them so long to figure it out that, it made us believe that it was really important. I blame Scott for making the car purple in the first place lol (If this theory is correct ofc)
@@blitzes3177 Agreed, people only say "It has to be really important" because since, it's really difficult to figure it out, it HAS to mean something deeper. Again, I blame the car for being purple in the first place lol
Okay, that makes some sense. Two of the minigames are about MCI victims and the third should be about one either. I can even put aside all the details that heavely imply that it's Afton's house and William himself. (Purple car, lone house in the forest, dude in grey shirt in front of TV, the fact that yellow dude can't go persumably into fnaf 2 location because of the investigation of MCI) But why Wiiliam after killing 4 kids in specific manner decides to kill the 5th one in other way? How or...why did he bury himself wearing a suit? How did he change his suit from springtrap to other one beetween fnaf 3 and FFPS? This is the problem with this minigame. A lot of details can prove one of the theories but left aside details disaprove it.
P.S. I had an idea right now. What if this runaway-boy is Gregory? FFPS was released after Silver eyes and Twisted ones. The book trilogy that gave to us robot-Gregory and him being the crying child theories.
That’s a load of Shit
The Box is way more mysterious and confusing than Midnight motorist
If I had to ask Scott one question it be what’s in the box
If I asked him a second question it would be when are we getting endless tycoon mode for FNAF 6
If I asked him a third question it would be midnight motorist
Two issues I’d have is that A. William does have a car, we saw that in the fnaf mini games prior when he killed Charlie. B. Why is it called later that night? What happened earlier on? Just those two things would need to be tackled for me to be sold, otherwise I’d say we gotta keep looking.
Midnight happened earlier that night. It's after the main Midnight Motorist gameplay, and thus later that night.
1:52 why couldnt Scott give William normal clothes in the fnaf4 minigame yet decided to make him purple. Orange guy and green guy are the only people beeing show with just a specific color while Scott could have just make them look normal If they werent someone important,yet the person on the couch got normal color skin similar to Michael.
Also Scott pointed 2 times that William is somehow related to yellow/Orange
The fredbear plush he speaks to during fnaf4 and the Fruity Maze minigame where he lures Suzie,his text color it's YELLOW.
Now all we gotta do is figure out how fritz died!😃
You mentioned it at the beginning of the video but I didn’t really see a connection throughout the video. Why is it called “later that night”? What happened before on this same day?
The main Midnight Motorist gameplay happened. I forgot to mention that part. It's later that night now because it's after midnight.
@@alenaswoodlands okay thank you
this is not very likely but what if the minigame actually is way back in the past and the orange guy was williams father who would abuse him as a child
I don't think MM depicts anything from the MCI... I still think it's right before Charlie is murdered... I think JR's is at least a bar and (to me) is the building that the OG Fredbear's Family Diner location was. Still a good video.
This doesn’t explain the why it’s called later that night tho and I know a bunch of the details seems like they don’t matter but combine the file name the purple car and the fact that it us raining gives strong evidence to it being about william after he killed charlie
bro you are so soft spoken. I'm subbin to you but why so quiet? im listening then THE ADS START PLAYING AND NOW IM DEAF! jk great video im subbed thanks bro
To be honest I didn't even know ads played on my videos. I should keep that in mind.
@@alenaswoodlands absolutely was a joke I'm sorry, ye ad did play but wasn't loud!! Yea I recently found out as well
About the ads still occur
i don’t find this theory to be likely imo, why does william magically not leave footprints and what purpose does this minigame serve? we already have a minigame of an mci kid being killed/lured so it’s just redundant, and orange guys cryptic dialogue would just be entirely irrelevant and there to mislead us which i just don’t think is likely.
There is a good reason for William not being purple which is cause purple represents him in the Shadows when he isn’t in MM also it’s far too obvious and the propel cars is already an indicator also it shows that William was drunk and likely jealous giving him motive also William being an abusive father was established in the novels which is identical to his game counterpart
the Scrap-trap detail sounds like the least contrived aspect imo, maybe I'm biased for wanting more details that lead to more answers, but I just have no problems with it being an answer. however, aside from the purple car (which could be a cheeky misdirect by Scott), you didn't seem to go into the "later that night" aspect; at the very least, it should mean that this event occurred after some other event that we should be previously familiar with.
The mci duh
What about the reason it’s called “later that night”?
This part of the minigame happens after the drunk driving, so this is, later that night.
So we're gonna use the fact that in the files it's called later that night but not gonna use the fact that in the files the dirt mound is called a grave?
The files actually don't give the dirt mound a unique name: imgur.com/a/pRO9A
@@alenaswoodlands I have been lied to :(
Idk the general consensus on the accuracy of the Ultimate Guide, but it refers to the mound as a secret grave so that might be where you heard it from
@almightykellus2585 Yeah that's probably where I heard it from. Still if it's referred to as that then I feel like it should definitely be used in every theory for Midnight Motorist
whyy give such importance to this situation. Whats with jrs and acting like we know who this is and the purple car and later that night
I mean, Scott made a whole minigame just for Suzie, one of the MCI, why can't Midnight Motorist be the same?
The Jr's it's just that, a bar, the green guy stop us because we go there regularly, we are an alcoholic.
And for the purple car, I have no clue lol
@@LadyLuckyLu I mean Suzie is kinda important because she’s the first victim and it gives insight on how afton did what he did
Assuming this is Gabriel it’s weird he does only one other character. Why couldn’t THIS have been suzie
And assuming this is rory this is even worse because we were just expected to think nothing of this minigame. It’s meaningless because it has no importance. We didn’t even know who Rory was until now
Here’s a massive comment explains why the runaway is CC.
The run away was already trying to run away without needing intervention.
This is explicitly stated in MM by captain mustard.
Now imagine your locked up after running away. Then your favorite character personally comes to pick you up.
That’s a great reason to smash window if you a young child who lacks personal responsibility.
I don’t see Will going full uncle Ben, lol.
Immortal and the restless is mostly about miss Afton and Michael.
Miss Afton loves her kids. While Will is trying to avoid taking care of them.
The baby is mostly Michael. But is also about the other two kids. Elizabeth is in Circus Baby, and CC is referred to as a cry baby.
After her divorce is left with none of the kids. While Will is left with all the kids.
Making it so neither one got what they want. Being a great sign of a tragedy.
It would also explain why their isn’t a grave stone. Because he feels personally slighted.
That’s why he’d want to kill Charlie. Because he lost the thing he loved. That being his wife. While his friend still had his wife, and loved his children.
This would likely lead to him blaming his kids. Rather then his own bad behavior.
In the Dwako interview, Scott said that he needed to fix the story, after Fnaf 4.
The big thing about Fnaf 4 was that it was missing was a in-sighting incident. Without that theirs no story.
I have a lot of Fnaf 4 theories but the lack of a in sighting incident. Makes it impossible to theorize about. Because theirs no way to intuit the order of events.
I would recommend watching filmentos dark light video, to learn more about a in sighting incident.
Now you can imply a in sighting incident. Like Marcelines and Princess Bubblegums break up. However that’s a sub plot. And several episodes give you more then a enough understanding, about why the two would break up.
“I’m just your problem”. Being a great example as to why the two would break up.
Btw. Yes. I have watched Obsidian. It was good.
As for Wills color. The mechanic of yellow things becoming purple in shadow. Was hardly scene in fnaf four.
Also it would makes sense that would want to reintroduce that mechanic.
Because that mechanic is what allows CC to mistake Shadow Freddy for Fred Bear.
As to why Will isn’t purple mechanically. It’s because of the unreliable narrator. As the mini game is told from Wills perspective.
As to the bunny suit. That’s great idea. However their aren’t foot prints leading to the window.
Just to steel man. The house both in that game, and in fnaf 4. The house has a wooden porch.
If the character is a ghost that explains their isn’t set leading to the window.
In Fnaf Sister Location, the tv room dosnt look like it’s a corner.
As for Shadow Freddy’s motive. You can interpret that he’s good or uncaring in fnaf two and three.
However Nightmare is referenced as being shadow in the game files. Re painting him as being bad. This is furthered by fnaf world.
In Ultimate custom night. Nightmare spifficaly says that he isn’t. While nightmare Freddy refers to him self as a shadow.
One more thing Shadow Freddy is mainly shown to mimic Freddy. Explaining why the foot prints would be their.
As for more proof. MM gives a origin as to why the locks on the door are flipped in both the mini game and game play of fnaf 4.
CC seeing the nightmares explains why he is scarred of Foxy.
And him being locked in his room explains why he’s scarred of being trapped.
Here's my interpretation:
Orange Guy: Willian
Sofa person: Mrs Afton or a caretaker
Runaway: Michael
I like this because its simple, doesn't rely on later lore or the assumption of an interlinked puzzle. In my opinion, FNAF should be treated as a story first.
Willian is orange because Scott wanted it so, either so it didn't blend too much with the dark environment or another reason. There is no broken glass on the outside because it wouldn't look good on a 8-bit game. This is also why the layout of the living room can't be compared with others, neither the fact that elizabeth's room is not present.
Also, love how people say it's Michael on the sofa based on his shirt colour and the fact he's watching TV.
Andrew? Don’t you mean Cassidy?
Cryonide did it better. No offense.
How so?
@@alenaswoodlands Well, I believe he'd explain it better himself. This is me telling you to watch it.
put this video in 1.5x speed it becomes much more bareable to watch
I think its fine how it is tbh
You must have the attention span of a cocomelon watching kid
It's not that slow
Sorry, I'm a bit of a slow talker. I'll keep that in mind for the next time!
@@alenaswoodlands I think the pacing and speed was great! I enjoy how you talk :]
Man,you might be just right!
