History WMG / FiveNightsAtFreddysVRHelpWanted

The events of the video games did in fact happen within the context of ''Help Wanted'', though not 1:1. In-universe, Freddy Fazbear's didn't actually fall and has managed to cover up their misdoings. Scott is someone who either worked or investigated the company, and failing to expose them the normal way released the Fnaf games in-universe in order to get people interested in expose the truth. Fazbear Entertainment tries to cover their asses by claiming he's some lunatic to discredit the "rumors". Why is Afton still here? Ultimate Custom Night is the only game to be made up; wishful thinking by Scott than Afton's DeaderThanDead and burning in an IronicHell. Or Pizzeria Simulator is made up and there was some sort of SoulJar William made.

I'm surprised not even Matthew Patrick figured THIS out though.

* Pizzeria Simulator: Henry probably set his trap with the utmost secrecy, with employees he knew wouldn't talk about it. The only person the animatronics could have attacked or been seen by was Michael. When the place burned down, everyone who knew about it went with it. Fazbear Entertainment likely figured it out when they found the animatronic remains, but while there might have been whispers about the fire, and somebody might have seen the salvage in the alley, the rumors that spread could be easily quashed.

* Sister Location: The elevator from the Ennard Vent Repair is different from the one Michael used. Since Handunit says that elevator is reserved for important employees, Circus Baby and FunTime Freddy might have been seen at a distance by low-level employees. (If an in-universe game version of it exists, it would be from one of their point of view)

[[WMG: The Client is the Reluctant Follower or another assiociate of William Afton.]]
Since the circuit boards sent by the client are what revived Afton in the form of Glitchtrap, who's to say they didn't want to sabotage Fazbear Entertainment's plans and restore Afton to his former kid-killing glory?

Given that Fazbear Entertainment is still around, when in FFPS, it was stated that they were "no longer a corporate entity" it seems somewhat unlikely that this is post FFPS. The Scrap Baby plush, the only solid evidence for ''Help Wanted'' occurring after FFPS, could have been created as a reference to sightings of the genuine article over the decades (after all, it's unlikely the Ennard hivemind wandered around the sewers for decades before ejecting Baby).

The teaser image currently on scottgames has an 80's vibe, and let's remember Nightmare is a thing. The rest of the series was him trying to perfect that.

Dreadbear is the spirit of his brother seeking revenge for the bite that murdered him, and Grim Foxy is a reminder to the Brother of all his sins. [[spoiler:Even if he IS Michael Afton, he still has those sins he committed crawling on his back, and needs to atone for them directly to his brother.]]

* Wouldn't [[VideoGame/FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator FNAF6's]] ending count as a happy ending? Also it's a horror franchise, they're notorious for having [[SuddenDownerEnding gotcha endings]] where you think it's going to end well and then doesn't. Also also, your theory holds some weight, if not for the fact that the scratch marks and handprints are on YOUR side of the door. As well as the fact there's no door handle. If you were successful, why would YOU be the one on that side of the door?

Because dang it this series needs at least a somewhat happy ending occasionally. In this case while you don't managed to completely purge [[spoiler:William Afton]] following the instructions does quarantine him deep inside the games code so he no longer has freedom of movement or autonomy. All that's left of him is an inanimate plushie and while he might eventually be able to break out another way for the moment the player character is safe.

The glitch successfully took over her body after she recorded Tape 15 (which explains why she randomly introduces herself in the last tape). She records Tape 16 for the player, not to kill the glitch but to trick you into transferring her consciousness into ''your'' body in the ending where you successfully reset the game, leaving you trapped inside the game in her stead. Notice the bloody hand prints and scratch marks in that ending are on ''your'' side of the door, instead of Spring Bonnie's.

** Did the Indie Developer post this?

* This theory brought to you by Fazbear Entertainment.

All it did was ensure that the main character kept his consciousness as William took over. Notice the scene at the door: there's no door handle on the player character's side, and hand marks all over it. William didn't get quarantined. The ''main character'' did.

Watching Dawko's video where he references Harry Potter and the Horcruxes in his "FNAF VR EXPLAINED" video. It'd make sense to see Afton's spirit doing this.

Someone said it on here: William Afton is just quarantined, not defeated. And all that will lead to is the 'main character' of FNAF VR suffering a split personality as Afton tries to gain control.

Also, this is how Ennard became 'Molten Freddy' - he was melted.

At the end of the level you re-activate the boiler, which like pretty much everything else, seems to be filled with broken animatronics. What if this Blacklight/Nightmare level is showing us '''how the Remnant was made''' (if you subscribe to the idea that Remnant = molten soul-possessed metal)? What better level to show it off then the level with the character who is canonly at LEAST four animatronics ''merged together''?

This particular version of the level is ''littered'' with broken and destroyed animatronic parts as set-dressing... but what if it's not ''just'' set dressing?

Specifically, when the devs scanned the animatronics’ circuit boards, Elizabeth was scanned into the game as well. If Elizabeth is still affected by her corruption from presumably Baby’s programming, it’s possible that a piece of her soul was still remaining within the circuit board that the devs would’ve scanned to program in the Baby character within the game. The reason why she isn’t present when we’re playing the game is because she already pulled a GrandTheftMe on someone else, similar to how William attempts it on us at some point. Although Circus Baby is present in the game, the version of her that is an enemy in the VR game is merely an AI, while Elizabeth likely manifested in some other way akin to “Malhare” and took someone else’s body. She could’ve even possibly taken control of the body of the woman who made the tapes after she made tape #16.

Is a mix of the original Spring Bonnie programming and [[spoiler:William Afton]]. Due to downloading show data directly from the remaining circuits of various animatronics to avoid creating pathing codes the dev team accidentally [[spoiler: managed to take the next step in Aftons' research by digitizing the mind preserved by remnant.]] Fortunately the process was flawed and didn't properly transfer all the details [[spoiler: just the Spring Bonnie appearance and programming mixed with Aftons' base personality and bloodlust. No memories, no motives.]]

Self Explanatory. On top of this, after she dies on tape, you will turn around and see "glitch bonnie" behind you

[[WMG: The last tape will have the Journalist dying and be done in a similar way to the first game's Phone Guy death call.]]
