Now i’m not the best at making theories and i’m not the most observant person. However. For those of you followers who are theorists, let me give you some food for thought.
So while the fandom is wracking their brains trying to figure out what in hell we missed. Don’t focus on what we didn’t see. Focus on what was in plain sight that we missed. I feel like we’re all so used to looking so deep in these games, that we could be missing something that’s in front of our eyes. What i would focus on most is the fact that scott said that there were no “random” easter eggs. Which implies that nothing was meaningless.
For example, in the game some people have noticed that on the nightstand by the bed, objects range from flowers to medical supplies. That definitely has something to do with the story.
In the minigames there were strange little things that didn’t make sense also. Those are some of the things that i would give thought to. For instance, Mangle has a plush that is torn into pieces at one part of the house. Mangle has always stood out as a character to me because she always ends up being in odd spots. She was in FNAF 3 when no other toy was. As an easter egg. She wasn’t even listed in the jumpscares. And in the house, the boy has no other plushies besides the original four and fredbear. Again, no Toy animatronics. Yet mangle makes an appearance.
Now also, if the fourth game’s minigame was Fredbear’s, then where are the original four alongside Fredbear and Springtrap? And as we all know very well, the original four were in a previous location prior to fnaf 2 because of the older models (withered animatronics). Where have they gone?
Another thing that people seem to brush off is Scott’s “interesting design” with Foxy. Foxy has never failed to have something wrong with him or off about him. In the first one, strange and unexplained things such as the “out of order sign” and the fox’s ability to sprint. Now someone can brush that off and say that he could have causally malfunctioned and the faculty just shut him down. Which is a fair claim. But then we go to FNAF 2. Foxy has now another odd quality. He’s one of the only two animatronics who can see that it is the night guard behind the mask. And it is not because his facial scanners are better or worse than anyone else’s because even his fellow generation of animatronics are still fooled by the disguise. Isn’t that odd? Now there isn’t much to be seen of Foxy in the third one besides the phantom. But something else that is off about the phantom is that, unlike all other phantoms, foxy appears with no warning. And finally, the fourth game. Something odd that people haven’t seemed to investigate here is the fact that foxy is very big in this game. Why is the plushie’s head ripped off? Yet, the mask that is worn most is Foxy’s head. Foxy throughout the series has always had a secret spotlight on him. And i find that odd.
Like i said. I’m not the best theorist, but it’s something. Hopefully someone will find the secrets sometime soon. But i can’t help but wonder, we’ve (the fandom) have always cracked the secrets before. Why is it so different now? What has changed? What has Scott hidden so well, that we can’t catch? I’m so curious to find out. And hopefully soon, we will have answers.
