** It's also very possible that Glitchtrap has [[spoiler:already successfully possessed Tape Girl midway through the tapes]]. Following her orders [[spoiler:gets the player killed, and she introduces herself twice]]. The first time, it's normal, the second time, [[spoiler:she says "Hello. Can you hear me?", which is how Glitchtrap introduces himself]].
** Alternatively, rather than [[spoiler:possessing Tape Girl, Glitchtrap has been trying to imitate her voice in an attempt to toy with the player and make his goal of escaping into the real world easier, since it wouldn't make sense for Glitchtrap to still be in the game if he's already escaped into the real world through Tape Girl]]. This idea is supported by the fact that [[spoiler:Glitchtrap's voice is a heavily distorted version of Tape Girl's when she says "Hello. Can you hear me?" More importantly, a few of the Tapes seem rather inconsistent compared to the rest: Tape 1, which contains the "Hello. Can you hear me?" introduction, not only paraphrases several key points from the rest of the tapes, but also contains inconsistencies such as Jeremy trying to destroy the glitch and Tape Girl's company shutting down — details that are inconsistent with (or, at the very least, never mentioned in) any of the other Tapes. Besides, it's rather odd for Tape Girl to suddenly and inexplicably come up with a solution to defeat Glitchtrap in Tape 16 when she'd given up on doing anything other than containing the glitch in earlier tapes, especially since she never bothered to implement it herself. It is entirely possible that after Tape Girl recorded most of the tapes, Glitchtrap attempted to falsify some tapes of his own while mimicking Tape Girl's voice, which would explain why the "solution" in Tape 16 ''doesn't destroy him.'']]

* {{Interquel:}} The events of this game act as one, being the bridge between the concluded original saga and setting the stage for a renewed start with ''Security Breach'', with Fazbear Entertainment taking the explicitly-haunted events that came before and trying to get them dismissed as just being ghost stories and rumors as they prepare to make their big comeback, [[spoiler: and introducing Vanny, who would become the new proxy for William Afton.]]

** In the non-VR version, [[spoiler:going through the "Employees Only" door at the end of the Pizza Party minigame will bring you to a snowy area with a construction site, a ''huge'' building (likely the mall from the [=ScottGames=] teasers) being constructed in the distance, and a Fazbear Entertainment billboard with the words "Coming Soon" and "Now Hiring"]].
** In ''The Curse of Dreadbear'' DLC, following a specific set of steps in The Corn Maze leads to you finding a rabbit mask. [[spoiler:Wearing the mask while holding the Glitchtrap plushie triggers dialogue from a woman telling it "no one suspects anything," implying she's working on Glitchtrap's behalf.]] [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach Sure enough...]]

** During Funtime Foxy's Dark Rooms game in Blacklight mode, there is a chance that Endo-01 will appear in the crowd of animatronics. Approaching him triggers a jumpscare from a character [[AllThereInTheManual named in the files as Beacon Bonnie]]. It uses Classic Bonnie's model but its texture is distorted and glitchy.

*** The sky's default color is green, but as you complete levels, it may turn into orange or even red.
*** A pirate ship sometimes appears on the lake. It seems to be the prop used for the Pirate Ride.
*** Similarly, a silhouette of a dancing Glitchtrap sometimes appears next to the house on the faraway hill.
*** Go to the Blacklight mode, push the button on the side of the monitor, then stare at the car for about 10 seconds. When you return to normal mode, turn to face the car and watch as the headlights turn pink. Then turn once more to the monitor to see a humongous Dreadbear looming over the hill.

* EasterEgg: ''Curse of Dreadbear'' has several in the main menu:
** The sky's default color is green, but as you complete levels, it may turn into orange or even red.
** A pirate ship sometimes appears on the lake. It seems to be the prop used for the Pirate Ride.

** Shooting darts at three clown posters in the congratulatory screen will turn on the Blacklight mode. Instead of "GAME WON!", the signage above now will read "IT'S ME".

* CreepyCockroach: In Chica's Parts and Service minigame, it becomes apparent that [[RealityEnsues eating all those pizzas has turned Chica's insides into a nest of cockroaches]].

* BatFamilyCrossover: The game's levels include settings and animatronics from games 1-5, plus Helpy from the sixth game (not counting FNAF World, presumably.) Most interestingly, some of the characters from ''Sister Location'' (Circus Baby, Funtime Freddy, Bon-Bon, and Bonnet most prominently) appear in the house from ''4''.

** The original teaser poster[[note]]Since taken down, due to accidentally using fan models of Funtime Foxy and Spring Bonnie in place of original artwork[[/note]] featured a quote from [[IncompetenceInc Fazbear Entertainment]] ensuring someone (presumably the public or customers) that "Everything is working as intended!" This statement is made, even though you will be spending much of the game-fixing the things that are not going as intended.

* ContinuitySnarl: Just like in ''Ultimate Custom Night'', both [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4 Nightmarionne]] and [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSisterLocation Bonnet]] appear in this game, despite the fact that both of them were previously stated to be [[CanonDiscontinuity non-canon]]. [[spoiler:Of course, given that all the previous games might well have existed in-universe, it's possible that they are in-universe [[CanonForeigner Canon Foreigners]] added by Fazbear Entertainment to make the game more interesting. Considering the VR game itself is, well, a VR game in-universe, this is the most probable explanation, since everything ''but'' the contents of the tapes and Glitchtrap are entirely game assets.]] ''The Curse of Dreadbear'' adds Jack-O-Bonnie and Jack-O-Chica from that same update, also non-canon, and completes a set of Halloween animatronics with the additions of [[FrankensteinsMonster Dreadbear]] and [[TheGrimReaper Grimm Foxy]]

* DevelopersForesight: Unlike in the original game, in the VR recreation of FNAF 1, you can actually get up and walk out of the office. If you do, Foxy will instantly run down the hallway and kill you.

* DrivenToSuicide: One of the tapes heavily implies that [[spoiler:Jeremy killed himself with a guillotine paper cutter, possibly to stop Glitchtrap / William Afton from taking over his body]].

* ExtremeOmnivore: The player character, who can eat ''action figures''. Downplayed however, in that [[TooDumbToLive if you do it three times]], you'll choke to death on them and get a hidden NonStandardGameOver.
* FacialHorror: [[spoiler:It's implied that, in his Glitchtrap-induced insanity, Jeremy [[Main/TearOffYourFace cut off his face]] with the paper slicer, which would explain the "ink", the "Halloween mask" on the floor, and the fact that Tape Girl never sees Jeremy without the VR headset obscuring his face. This act also could've led to his death, through infection or bleeding out.]]

* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: In the trailer, after being jump scared by Phantom Mangle, the player in the trailer turns to reboot the systems, seemingly not noticing [[BigBad Springtrap]] lurking in the doorway.

** Night 5 of [=FNAF1=] is [[DeliberatelyMonochrome monochrome]]. The doors and door lights randomly switch on and off on their own and will continue to do so even after you run out of power. [[AntiFrustrationFeatures Fortunately for the player]], the doors and lights do not do this if Foxy and Freddy, the more difficult enemies, are in their respective hallways.
** Night 5 of [=FNAF2=] features the neon color scheme, although it is otherwise nothing special. In the same patch that added Withered Foxy in the place of the original Foxy, a Withered mode was added as a second hard level. It acts as Night 6 of [=FNAF2=], utilizes a red color scheme, and adds Withered Freddy, Withered Bonnie, and Withered Chica, causing the player to have to avoid ''ten'' enemies at one time versus the seven of Night 5. It is also the first level with a difficulty lever, for easy mode, normal mode, or danger mode.
** Night 5 of [=FNAF3=] sets the whole building on fire, recalling that game's ending.

*** Foxy's level is on fire, his movements are more erratic, the fuses glitch out and switch patterns, his eyes are single-color GlowingEyesOfDoom, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and all of the desks are labeled #1]]

** If you haven't collected all of the tapes, [[spoiler:Glitchtrap lures you backstage and is implied to then [[DownerEnding stuff you in a suit]]]] the only ending that actually plays credits.

* PressXToDie: If you try to walk out of your office in the ''[=FNaF 1=]'' minigames, Foxy will immediately attempt to bum rush you. ''Curse of Dreadbear'''s "Danger! Keep Out!" mode, a modified version of the ''[=FNAF1=]'' map featuring the Halloween Animatronics, has Grim Foxy do a similar trick. Dying to Foxy this way even nets you an achievement in the Steam version.

* PressXToDie: If you try to exit through the left door of the ''[=FNaF 1=]'' office, Foxy will immediately barrel down the hallway to end your night, much like his Nightmare counterpart in ''4''.

** "Foxy's Pirate Ride" in the ''Curse of Dreadbear'' DLC is an on-rails shooter, and the only animatronic present is the stationary Foxy who welcomes you to the ride and explains how to beat the level. There's only one jumpscare during the ride, which is a cardboard cutout of Foxy that doesn't kill you. And the only way for Foxy to jumpscare you at the very end is if you score ''exceedingly'' poorly on the ride almost to the point of doing nothing. [[spoiler:Subverted should you hit Helpy whenever he appears. You're still playing on an on-rails shooter, but hitting him means he'll send you on 3 entirely different tracks throughout the ride, where Jack-O-Bonnie and Jack-O-Chica ''do'' come out to play and kill.]]

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: While the game takes a meta approach in lore and claims that "nothing can harm you", [[spoiler:the tapes and hard mode levels reveal that Glitchtrap is not a mere virus, but heavily implied to be the ghost of William Afton's mind, who's corrupted the game with glitches. Depending on the player's progress and actions, he either traps the player's consciousness in a Freddy suit, attempts a direct GrandTheftMe ''with the player'', or traps the player behind a steel door]].

Steel Wool released a "Flat" update on December 17th, 2019. This update enabled the game to be played without a VR headset.

* StealthPun: ''Foxy's Pirate Ride'' is an on-rails shooter, themed around a shooting dark ride...

A Halloween-themed DLC, entitled "The Curse of Dreadbear", was released on October 23rd of the same year, with additional levels being released on the 29th.

* BadDreams: One of the possible side effects from playing the game in the opening narration. Going by the tapes, Jeremy seemed to have been suffering from them as a result of beta-testing the game.

* BatFamilyCrossover: The game's levels include settings and animatronics from games 1-5 (not counting FNAF World, presumably.) Most interestingly, some of the characters from ''Sister Location'' (Circus Baby, Funtime Freddy, Bon-Bon, and Bonnet most prominently) appear in the house from ''4''.
