History Literature / FiveNightsAtFreddysTheSilverEyes

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** When the police found a likely suspect for the killer, they didn't have enough evidence to convict him, so they had to let him go.
** Carlton's head injury, courtesy of [[spoiler:Mr. Afton]], incapacitates him for a time even after he's rescued.
** After his first business [[spoiler: Fredbears Family Diner gets abandoned because his son was killed there]], his wife leaves him, his second restaurant Freddy's has five children murdered there, ''and'' he is accused of the murderers, [[spoiler: Charlotte's dad Henry kills himself. Most people in his position probably would do the same]].

''Five Nights at Freddy's: The Silver Eyes'' ([[WorkingTitle initially]] ''Five Nights at Freddy's: The Untold Story'') is a book based on the ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' series. While series creator Scott Cawthon is the author, Kira Breed-Wrisley is also involved in the book's creation. Although Scott has confirmed the book to be an AlternateContinuity from the games, it explores aspects not shown by them.

* MythologyGag: Not really a ''gag'', but Bonnie is the first animatronic to move in front of the group. Much like in the [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys games...]]

Two sequels were later released, ''Literature/FiveNightsAtFreddysTheTwistedOnes'' in 2017, and ''Literature/FiveNightsAtFreddysTheFourthCloset'' in 2018.

* AdultFear:
** Charlie hasn't returned to Hurricane because of what happened, with [[spoiler:her twin brother and best friends killed, her father being DrivenToSuicide, and unable to cope with what happened]].
** Carlton mom's Betty reams out her husband on learning that [[spoiler:Carlton went missing at Freddy's ''at night'', in a place where several children went missing, including Carlton's best friend Michael. As she puts it, he ought to have known better than to think Carlton would play such a prank, and tells him to send an officer to find her son.]]
** Marla freaks out when her brother goes missing [[spoiler:and realizes he went back to Freddy's to find Carlton. She freaks out even more when Foxy takes him, though it turns out Foxy thought he was protecting Jason from the "grown-ups".]]
** Carlton's dad has this reaction [[spoiler:on seeing Carlton alive but concussed and scratched up from the springlock suit. He gives the latter a BearHug.]]

-> ''“I couldn’t help who my dad was!” Charlie said, laughing. Jessica looked thoughtful for a moment then continued. “I mean, how could you have a better childhood than spending all day at [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys1 Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza]]?” She said.''

* WhamLine: When Charlie asks what people thought of her father, in general: [[spoiler:"Some people thought he did it, yeah."]]

* AdaptationDyeJob: Bonnie's fur is changed from indigo/purple to bright blue, matching his appearance in FNaF World, and Foxy's from red to a reddish orange. His eye colour is also changed from yellow to silver, respectively. All of the animatronics also had their GlowingEyesofDoom changed from white to red (Freddy), blue (Bonnie), orange (Chica) and silver (Foxy).

* AdaptationDyeJob: Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy's eye colours change from cyan, maroon, magenta and yellow to red, blue, orange and silver, respectively. Their GlowingEyesOfDoom have changed from white to red, blue, orange and silver too.

* GlowingEyesOfDoom: As per the games, the Fazbear Four have these. Interestingly, their standard white night-vision eyes have been replaced by red, blue, orange and silver, for Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy, respectively. These lights are much, ''much'' brighter than they are in the games, though. Freddy's and Bonnie's are stated to light up entire rooms solely ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes.

* {{Midquel}}: It appears to take place between [[Videogame/FiveNightsAtFreddys the original game]] and ''Videogame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3'', but due to it being an AlternateContinuity, it's entirely probable that neither game happened (or will happen in ''3'''s case).

* TapOnTheHead: Deconstructed with Carlton's head injury. It knocks him out for several hours and he wakes up feeling ill. After [[spoiler:Charlie gets him out of the springlock suit, he throws up several times and has a hard time walking or helping at all]].

* RealityEnsues:

** After his first business [[spoiler: Fredbears Family Diner gets abandoned because his son was killed there]], his wife leaves him, his second restraunt Freddy's has five children murdered there, ''and'' he is accused of the murderers, [[spoiler: Charlotte's dad Henry kills himself. Most people in his position probably would do the same]].
* StepfordSnarker: Carlton is a ClassClown and DeadpanSnarker even in the face of death. It's implied to be how he copes with the trauma of losing Michael.

* PrecisionFStrike: The original eBook version had Carlton say the word "jackass", which is notable considering it's probably the first time in '''the entire series''' that anything higher than "damn" or "hell" had been uttered at that point. To be fair, [[spoiler:This was after the time Dave attempted to kill Carlton by stuffing him in an animatronic suit.]] Conversely, "jackass" wasn't all that vulgar a word considering its repeated use in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/Pinocchio'' to describe ill-behaved children.

** YMMV, but this troper got the impression that the police in Hurricane were either in on the murders, or otherwise so criminally incompetent at their jobs that they should be stripped of their badges. A single officer goes to check out the restaurant, with no backup. He is consequently murdered and yet nobody bothers to check in on him when he goes radio silent. Carlton's dad comes to the scene (again, with zero backup), never radios the precinct to let them know the situation while he's there, enters the restaurant without making sure that the area is properly secured, and after the event ends, doesn't even call an ambulance for the VERY obviously injured Charlie, whose leg was cut so deep by Foxy's hook that it is implied to have severe nerve damage. What's more, the kids were allowed to walk away from the incident with minimal hindrance. If a police officer got killed IRL, a SWAT team would have been sent in, every inch of that restaurant would have been scoured from stem to stern, those kids would first have been given proper medical attention, and then held for questioning and made to give a full testimony of the events that took place, not to mention charged with trespassing on private property and breaking and entering. Worse yet, in the sequel it is implied that they never even bothered to look for Afton's body before tearing the place down.

* LoweredMonsterDifficulty: Getting caught by the animatronics in any of the games results in an instant and implicitly awful death. Here, the heroes have a chance to knock them over, evade them, or just run like hell. Justified in a Watsonian sense (there are multiple fit teenagers rather than a single security guard, and can maneuver or flank around the animatronics) and a Doylist sense (it's more tense and exciting than slavishly replicating a very particular form of horror experience).
