Hey everyone, Rotas here!
I’ve noticed many of you wondering why Thierry isn't active in the game or why he isn't a character you have to deal with. Well, in early versions of the game, he actually was an active character! Let me explain how he worked:
Thierry was originally a "secret" character who could become active on random nights (3, 4, and 5), essentially replacing Vos’s turn.
He followed the same pathing as Vos, appearing in three different positions at the Sheriff’s Office stage before attacking.




Like Vos, Thierry also had three positions at the Sheriff's office stage before attacking:



His mechanics were unique because the best strategy was to do nothing. You were supposed to let him roam freely until he returned to his jail cell. If you tried to use the "Call-Back" option or shoot him with the SMU while he was in the office, he would jumpscare you instantly.
Ultimately, I decided to scrap this idea because it felt unfair to the player and wasn't quite as engaging as the other character mechanics.
Instead, I decided to keep Thierry’s model strictly for lore purposes!
As some of you have discovered, Dan (the Phone Guy) is killed at the end by William Afton, who stuffs him inside the Thierry suit. This also makes it the only suit in the game that isn't possessed by a spirit.
That’s all for today! Thank you so much for the support!
