In 1968, on the outskirts of San Francisco, California, there stood a factory known as Fazbear Industries. Founded back in 1952, it produced advanced animatronics for its time, offering them for lease, supply, and various services.

There was a rebellious 17‑year‑old named Gron. Eager to prove his defiance and independence, he planned a rather hostile prank. After the workers left for the day, he snuck into the factory. Inside, he found the idle conveyor belt system—capable of truly advanced, semi‑automated manufacturing designed to save labor. He began tampering with its settings and control panel, then fled.

The next day, the workers returned and started the machine. But the animatronics it produced came out horribly deformed: Freddy grew Bonnie’s ears from his shoulders, Bonnie had five heads, and Vigo’s head was built into Foxy’s mouth...

Worse still, they were hostile. And the machine could no longer be shut down.

When the first person was killed, the workers fled. Though several were killed, most escaped and called the police. After an investigation, they traced the incident back to Gron’s actions. But due to the accidental nature of the disaster and his young age, he received a lenient sentence.

Fazbear Industries was shut down.

Years passed, yet the machine continued to operate. Hybrid animatronics spread throughout the sewers and the decaying ruins of the old Fazbear Industries factory.

In 2035, Blake, a descendant of the former Gron. He chose to return to the factory to end it all. The facility was deadly; he was constantly hunted by the hybrid animatronics. Fortunately, Blake survived.

He finally reached the core of the machine. There, he confronted the heart of all these hybrid animatronics: the Hybrid Device, a stationary animatronic.

Lured by the voice in my head, he stepped inside, choosing to sacrifice himself. As he faded into near‑death delirium, he felt as though he had been sent back to the 1960s...

And he really had traveled back in time.

To prevent the disaster, he snuck into Fazbear Industries after the workers had left, under the cover of night. He tampered with the conveyor machine’s settings and control panel, then fled.

What he did not know, however, was that the version of him that had traveled back in time, was Gron himself.
