* TooDumbToLive:
** The security guard shows up every night to a building where the ventilation stops working every couple of hours, and, oh yeah, there's a ''killer robot'' out to get them. A robot taken from an establishment whose claim to fame is robots killing security guards.
** At least in the first two games, the protagonists were basically trapped in the office by multiple animatronics, with no easy access to an escape route once they became active. But checking CAM 1 reveals that the building has an exit in the hallway directly outside the door, meaning that this game's fellow could simply leave the building ''at any time''.

* {{Foreshadowing}}:
** An announcement on Steam Greenlight contained the message "My name is Springtrap." Sure enough, when you finally unlock the Extra Screen, the game officially names the new animatronic as Springtrap.
** In many ways, the truth about Springtrap has been foreshadowed since the first game. A suit that is apparently wearable, hidden even to the employees, and in this game, the recordings state that the suit can injure and maim if put on. [[spoiler:In the ending, The Purple Man puts on the suit in a panic and it kills him.]]
** Sometimes when on the main menu, a couple of pictures can appear, showing a horribly mutilated corpse inside Springtrap. [[spoiler:And as the night 5 minigame shows, it's the murderer's corpse.]]
** In the first night, Phone Dude says that much of the wiring comes from the original installment and is decades old. Over the week, the electronics get more and more twitchy and unreliable. [[spoiler:In the second ending, Fazbear's Fright goes up in flames.]] To add to this, the Phantom Animatronics look like they've been burned, possibly foreshadowing Fazbear Fright's inevitable demise.
** The second night, Phone Dude decides to play some cassettes he found. Said cassettes are of Phone Guy from the first game explaining how to wear and operate the animatronic suits, [[spoiler:hinting at the true nature of Springtrap and what's inside it]].
** If you look closely at Springtrap's jumpscare when he gets you at the right side of the office, [[spoiler:you can briefly see what appears to be part of the killer's jaw inside his mouth]].
** Springtrap's physical appearance has some foreshadowing: [[spoiler:he's golden and due to decay, his face seems to have a constant smile on it. The Murderer wore a yellow suit during his murders and was ''always'' depicted with a big grin on his face.]]
** Unlike the previous animatronics, Springtrap's always making sure to hide as much of himself as possible, only going for it when it's too late. [[spoiler:Turns out [[PurpleIsPowerful he's]] had ''[[TheManBehindTheMan a lot]]'' more experience with this whole [[SerialKiller "murdering"]] thing before.]]
** [[spoiler:"Yeah, I wasn't joking about the fire, that-that...that's a real risk."]]
** One that is realized only in hindsight: [[spoiler:during the "Happiest Day" minigame, we learn that six children were definitely murdered by the Purple Guy, as there are six ghosts, each possessing Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, Golden Freddy, and the Puppet. However, in both ending screens, the Puppet's head is nowhere to be found, not even in the distance as in the case of Golden Freddy. There is also the Puppet's hallucination trigger, who appears very much alive compared to the others. These allude to the eventual reveal in ''VideoGame/FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator'' that the Puppet, and by extension the soul who possesses it, was not set free like the others and continued to roam the Earth until it (well, [[SamusIsAGirl she]]) was trapped by Lefty.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdHlIy0W4uU&ab_channel=ScottCawthon The trailer]] has an ominous scene of Springtrap [[WallSlump twitching against the wall]], with gold text that transitions to red-underlined throughout. At first, you'd think it's just RuleOfScary, [[spoiler:but it's a full render of the final minigame. Springtrap is twitching because those are the killer's death throes, and the text is a reference to his bleeding out inside a gold suit]].

* VisualPun: The box full of parts from the bright and colorful animatronics debuting in the second game? It's a toy box, of the Fazbear variety.
* WhamEpisode:
** The Golden Freddy minigame. It shows you Golden Freddy and Spring Bonnie playing in a stage in front of kids. New players might not notice anything unusual. To players of previous games, however, this is a surprise. [[spoiler:Golden Freddy had been decommissioned way back since before the 1987 restaurant, and unlike Foxy, the Management seemed to want to forget that he ever existed, such that he effectively appeared to you not as an animatronic, but as a ghost. Meanwhile, you don't even ''know'' Spring Bonnie existed until now. But here they are, headlining a show. When did this take place?]]
** The post-fifth night minigame, where we see [[spoiler:the Purple Guy finally meeting his [[KarmicDeath doom]] [[WhosLaughingNow at the hands of the children's ghosts]]. Also, we see that the Purple Guy was killed inside Spring Bonnie, the same animatronic hybrid suit that had been harassing and terrorizing you for the past five nights.]]
* WhamLine: On Night Five, you hear a tape from Phone Guy firmly reminding employees ''not'' to take customers into the hidden and off-camera safe room. Then you hear his next line, and [[spoiler:you get a clue as to what Springtrap's deal is, considering who's most likely to put on a costume and lure customers into a place where they can't be seen]].
-->'''Phone Guy:''' And under no circumstance should a customer '''ever''' be taken into [the safe room] and out of the main show area. Management has also been made aware that [[spoiler:the Spring Bonnie animatronic]] has been noticeably moved. We would like to remind employees that [[spoiler:this costume is not safe to wear]] under any circumstances.
* WhamShot:
** The ending of the Night 5 minigame. [[spoiler:Having been cornered by the souls of his victims, the Purple Guy panics and tries to hide... [[KarmicDeath inside]] ''[[DeathByIrony Spring Bonnie.]]'']]
** Sometimes, when you start the game up, you see... [[spoiler:Springtrap. ''[[TheReveal Taking off his mask.]]]]''
** [[spoiler:Brightening the Night 6 newspaper reveals something horrifying: ''[[SequelHook Springtrap apparently]] [[VideoGame/FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator survived the fire.]]'']]

* YouAreAlreadyDead:
** If you see Springtrap looking into your office from the door, or worse, actually entering the office while you have a monitor up, there's not much you can do except wait for him to get you. Even if you don't use a monitor, the vents will eventually fail, and you'll black out, allowing him to move in to kill you. If you're quick enough, you can save yourself from a game over if Springtrap is looking through your door by triggering the audio in CAM 1; however, if you see him run past your monitor while it's up, then you're dead.
** If you see Springtrap in CAM 14 and 15 (vent cams that directly lead to the office) and close their vents, only for him to disappear, that means he has successfully entered your office, and he is going to kill you in a matter of seconds. There is nothing that can be done about it.

* NothingIsScarier:
** The Phone Dude is not lying when he says that Night 1 is there for you to settle in and get used to the new system. There are no computer errors, and Springtrap is brought in on Night 2, which is where the game begins proper.
** In the previous two games, the GameOver screen showed what happened to the protagonist after the animatronics catch them. What does this game show? ''Nothing''.
** When the Phantom Puppet shows up, he merely fills the screen with his face. If you try to move, he moves with you. That's all he does.
** Phantom Mangle will just lurk behind the Office window, and make static noises. Then it drops out of sight and the hallucination ends. Sometimes, he will just stare at you without making noise before dropping out of sight. If the monitors are down when this happens, Mike will pant in fear.

* HellIsThatNoise:
** The first game's jumpscare noises were derived from a child's scream (SKREEEEE-). The second game had the animatronics emit a mechanical roar instead (REEEAAAAH-). This game? A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-I0aBGxn9Uc horrific zombie-like screech]] that sounds ''NOTHING'' like what a robot should sound like (RHUIIIIAAAAH-). [[spoiler:This turns out to be appropriate, as the Murderer's corpse is inside it.]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXDW0YcGzbU Phantom Mangle's static]], which can and will act as a JumpScare.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdZ3tcU85Pw&feature=youtu.be&t=81 disorienting industrial noises]] heard at the beginning of each night (at the "12:00 AM - NIGHT X" title card).
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yloY3nEpjWk grating buzz]] that plays throughout The Puppet's hallucination.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaBUYPnJGGU awful sound]], reminiscent of a dial-up modem, that [[SensoryAbuse assaults your ears]] every time the Purple Man destroys an animatronic in the end-of-night minigames.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTrs_q3wCs8 low whining noise]] that plays when one of the animatronics are inside or near your office. Unlike the previous game, though, it gets louder depending on how close the animatronics are, and you might not catch on to the fact that it's a sound cue to their presence because it doesn't really stick out from the rest of the sounds in the game. This noise gets worse thanks to the implications of [[Literature/FiveNightsAtFreddysTheTwistedOnes The Twisted Ones]]. [[spoiler:This high-pitched noise could be a mind-altering device that causes you to see things. Seeing things? Like, maybe, the Phantoms, for instance?]]

* SecretRoom: The room Springtrap was found in was a boarded-up part of Freddy's. Phone Guy's tapes detail that this was a "safe room" that was not only hidden from customers, but from the cameras and animatronics as well. Though used as a storeroom, it's strongly implied that [[spoiler:it was used by the Purple Guy to commit his murders sight unseen]]. Eventually, these rooms were all sealed and [[IWasNeverHere never spoken of again]], and it's implied to be [[spoiler:a way of covering up the lethal springlock suits from the authorities]].

** The Golden Freddy minigame reveals that [[spoiler: he and Spring Bonnie (the bunny suit that would later become Springtrap) used to be the main mascots of a certain Freddy's establishment. This establishment is heavily implied to be Fredbear's Family Diner, which was namedropped by Phone Guy in ''2'']].

** The Golden Freddy minigame. It shows you Golden Freddy and Spring Bonnie playing in a stage in front of kids. New players might not notice anything unusual. To players of previous games, however, this is a surprise. [[spoiler: Golden Freddy had been decommissioned way back since before the 1987 restaurant, and unlike Foxy, the Management seemed to want to forget that he ever existed, such that he effectively appeared to you not as an animatronic, but as a ghost. Meanwhile, you don't even ''know'' Spring Bonnie existed until now. But here they are, headlining a show. When did this take place?]]

* TheBusCameBack: As mentioned above, the new owners salvaged what was left of the toy animatronics from ''[[Videogame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2 2]]'', leaving the possibility that they will return very real. It turns out that some of them do appear: the Puppet as a hallucination, Toy Chica in a minigame, and Balloon Boy and Mangle as/in both.

* SecretRoom: The room Springtrap was found in was a boarded-up part of Freddy's. Phone Guy's tapes detail that this was a "safe room" that was not only hidden from customers, but from the cameras and animatronics as well. Though used as a storeroom, it's strongly implied that [[spoiler:it was used by the Purple Guy to commit his murders sight unseen]]. Eventually, these rooms were all sealed and [[IWasNeverHere never spoken of again]], and it's implied to be [[spoiler:a way of covering up the lethal springlock suits from the authorities]].



* SequelHook: The Night 6 ending says that [[spoiler:everything salvaged from Fazbear's Fright after the fire [[HereWeGoAgain will be sold at a local auction]]...]] Furthermore, it is implied that there was another branch of Freddy's out there while Fazbear Entertainment was still in business. The latter was likely a hint to ''Videogame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation'', while the former was likely setting up ''VideoGame/FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator''.

* StrangeSecretEntrance: To the animatronics, the safe room at Freddy's is this; it isn't programmed into their digital map layouts, so as far as they know, there isn't a door there at all. In the end-of-night minigames, trying to enter this room results in "ERR" appearing in the bottom left, followed by [[spoiler:the Purple Guy rushing out to dismantle the animatronic]]. By the end of Night 5, [[spoiler:the childrens' spirits, unhindered by the animatronics' systems, are freely able to enter the room]].



* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: An unnamed building designer for Freddy Fazbear's Pizza told Fazbear's Fright about the boarded-up safe room, according to Phone Dude. Had he kept quiet, Springtrap would likely have never have been found and released.



-->'''Phone Guy:''' And under no circumstance should a customer '''ever''' be taken into [the safe room] and out of the main show area. Management has also been made aware that [[spoiler:the Spring Bonnie spring-lock suit]] has been noticeably moved. We would like to remind employees that [[spoiler:this costume is not safe to wear]] under any circumstances.
