      Lol no, this theory is held together by one single detail of a girl having a toy chica.
      It was not to show it was a dream but to show that there were not only 5 victims like matpat aaid in the previous theories to this one.
      But that there were actually another 5 and the toy animatronics were possessed too.

      @m0002856 Год назад +40

      @@purplebean7
      I think it’s not a big deal.
      The way the story seems to have gone is that the games aren’t necessarily exact depictions of events, but are possibly based on real events.
      It’s a cop out in a way telling us that anything we’ve seen can be retconned without any more explanation other than, “it was faked to cover up the real story”
      Even like he says at the end: FNaF 1-4 might be all dreams, but it doesn’t mean that every individual thing we hear about is a dream. The problem is that we don’t know what pieces are part of the dreams and what pieces aren’t.
      Maybe the entire thing is a dream, but I also agree with him that the death minigames make zero sense if thats true.
      And while writing that last comment, I decided to do a bit of research- the Atari 2600 was the most popular gaming console in the year 1982 before the video game crash of 1983… Fredbear and Friends 1983… maybe it wasn’t a cartoon. Maybe it was a game for the Atari 2600.
      I think that detail may have been overlooked because it’s hard to tell what is an Atari game and what isn’t when the minigames are Atari style games already. How do we know whether the Fredbear and Friends 1983 thing on the TV is a game or a cartoon? But it would kinda explain it.
      Hmm… I really wish Scott would explain his original design for the story :( I want to know how all the pieces were supposed to fit together originally.

    Retrospectively, this theory was definitely true. FNAF 1-3 was a fever dream in the mind of the crying child after he got bit. Scott changed his mind and retconned it in the fifth game

      Honestly, I think it's still debatable this theory is true, sure SL implies Michael is the player character in the other games, but nothing explicitly says so, and there's really no solid evidence for it outside of the name Mike and an explanation for being fired 'for tampering with the animatronics' which always used to be confusing for theorists to use (said evidence making them think the player was the killer himself seeing as it didnt make much sense for anyone else to be disassembling them, but now it's just confusing since it probably is supposed to be Michael (outside of Spring-trap's origin cutscene) taking apart and freeing the animatronics
