Endless Nights at Freddy's or ENAF is an alternate universe of Five Nights at Freddy's created by artist and graphic designer Cosmiischillin and one of her friends who's name is not public knowledge.
It follows the franchise's lore up to Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach. Any media or changes to the original canon that became public knowledge after Security Breach's release are considered noncanon in ENAF or are heavily altered to fit in.
ENAF takes place in Fazbear's Ultimate Pizzaplex built after the storyline of Pizzeria Simulator. Within its walls are many old and new animatronics now completely refurbished (as well as sentient, aware of past possessions and tragedies, and are still capable of killing) that want to entertain while also dealing with their past traumas, the company, their personal desires, and those who threaten the fun and fantasy of Fazbear's.
ENAF has an ongoing webcomic that tells the main story of the AU and a spin-off webcomic based on the in-universe cartoon show and Five Nights at Freddy's World, Freddy & Friends: The Adventure Show. Artwork and videos relating to the AU are all available to view on Cosmiischillin's Instagram
, Tik Tok, Deviantart, Tumblr, Twitter, and Patreon and are posted to the ENAF Fandom Wiki.
Endless Nights at Freddy's contains examples of:
- Adaptation Expansion:
- Many of the animatronics who were less prevalent or fleshed out have been given major design changes and personalities to stand out more. Even animatronics who never appeared in the games such as the Balloon Animatronics, are placed in
- Alongside the new animatronics original to the AU, the main 5 animatronics now have 3 additions: Misty, Moxie, and Theo. They follow the same formula as the original group such as having their own variants and being possessed during the missing children incident.
- Art Evolution: The first parts of the comics had thick lines, simple shading, and characters were stiff. Around Episode 1 Act 4, the lines became thinner, halftones began to replace the shading, and characters became more expressive. This was due to the artist, Cosmiischillin refining her craft and learning more about comics and design.
- Art Shift: Inside the Pizzaplex, The colors of the comic are brighter and more colorful and the lighting has half tones to it. Outside of the pizzaplex, colors are more natural and realistic. There are smaller moments where the comic changes it's aesthetic.
- In Episode 1's prologue when Walter recaps the history of Fazbear Entertainment, the panels have a vhs filter over it giving it an analogue horror appearance.
- In Act 1: Discovery, the newspaper panels are textured like real newspaper and the type changes.
- Bigger on the Inside: The Ultimate Pizzaplex is what happens when Disney Magical Kingdom gets put in a single building. Though it looks like a regular large mall complex in its first appearance in Episode 1 Act 2: Security Breach, it is so much larger inside. It has multiple indoor attractions, amusement rides such as rollercoasters, theaters, a water park, a circus, haunted restaurants, a live studio, and who knows what. Not forgetting the couple hundred living quarters for each animatronic.
- Censored Child Death: The prologue for ENAF’s very first episode already shows the aftermaths of several children’s deaths and are references to FNAF’s lore. This includes:
- Evan: Fredbears’s mouth covered in blood.
- Elizabeth: Circus Baby standing still with blood on her midsection.
- Charlie: Puppet in the rain with black tears dripping down her face.
- The Missing Children: The page begins with Spring Bonnie (in actuality William Afton) leaving a trail of bloodied footprints with only one dialogue piece saying “It was 1985”. At the end of the page it shows all of the classic animatronics and Golden Freddy with black eyes, now possessed.
- Curse Cut Short:
- Kellen's WTF moment when seeing Glamrock Freddy destroyed is automatically stopped by Gregory
- Uno cuts off Roxanne when she say's motherfucker.
- Home Base: Fazbear's Ultimate Pizzaplex is the main setting of the AU. All of the characters practically live and work here with no need to leave.
- Quirky Town: Played with as instead of a town, it’s a literal building. The inhabitants of the Pizzaplex are pretty much all quirky in their own way with pirates, clowns, and a shark tamer. Even the humans that live there are their own strange selves. However, they are still animatronics aware of their existence and you are better off not knowing what they do to adults who break the rules.
- Slice of Life: The AU at its core is about the daily lives of the animatronics and humans who inhabit the Pizzaplex.
- Speech Bubbles: Animatronics' dialouge is written with a more futuristic type compared to human characters who has regular type. Sometimes the animatronics' speech bubbles are outlined with a color representing a character.
- Suck E. Cheese's: Averted. Fazbear's Ultimate Pizzaplex is the most successful indoor entertainment establishment in America with Disney Park levels of quality and technology as the animatronics aren't possessed killer animatronics with real sentience.
