1972, truly one of the most fascinating years of all time it was the year where leap seconds got introduced an earthquake happened in Nicaragua killing over 4,000–11,000 people, wow and most importantly...

It was the year where it ALL went wrong... it was the year where he decided to strike... it was the year where Fredbear's Family Diner closed its doors.....

And then some random guy on GameJolt turned all that into a game and released it in 2023, and with the help of Heisenbergus and Taf Entropy, I found this absolute gem of a game, and what I saw absolutely shocked me. The moment I beat this game 100%, I knew I had to spread this game to the world and heeeeeeeeeeeeeere we are.......

Something kinda cool is that as a bonus, you get some screen savers! Three of them, to be exact.

When we boot up the actual game we get a "launcher"

Help is just for lore suggestions, does what it does best and realism mode beats you up real bad, seriously DO NOT click on realism mode; it's pure evil, and for info recovery, you can find codes throughout the game, and use them to get more lore enough yapping, let's launch this bad boy.

We get an intro cutscene with a tv, showing pics of the devs older games, and then it stops, and then someone talks, and then it shows text, and it finally starts. Can you tell I wanna talk about the actual interesting stuff really badly?

Here's our beautiful menu along with some banger music.

Now, I should mention that this game's a prequel to the devs' older games. Being the MS Paint series, Heisen streamed the whole series to me, and even though they do have some cool ideas not gonna lie, they're REALLY not worth playing at all without a further ado, let's start a new game.

We get a pretty nice view of Fredbear's, but then it becomes scary.

But the mighty newspaper appears, and forces us to stop being a lazy ass.

regret

We get our very first phone call by the games phone guy Thomson.

Thomson wants us to watch the diner cause he thinks it's haunted.

He explains that a few days ago when cleaning the bathroom, he heard movements and when he came to check, the suits were all over the place, and they looked different......

And an old TV that he salvaged started showing really weird images, so now he wants us to see what the "ghosts" want, cause he's a pussy, he doesn't know if we're in any actual danger but just in case he gives us some hints.

We have two light switches, but they're limited cause, 1970s technology; now if anyone actually comes to the room, you gotta cover those eyes, to confuse em how does he know this?.................

Now all of this is obviously really scary, but there's a way to fix it you gotta turn that TV volume up, and stare at the left wall, again how does he know this?

And with that done, we can finally talk about Night 1, here's the man, the legend himself, Conner, the guy we play as.

he kinda looks like the protagonist in chompers

Here's our beautiful office

we got light switches we got a clock we got a map for freddy's

And our very own TV!

Sadly because we're in the 70s, there's an impressive zero good shows on like come on man, not even a New Hope was out by that point, we don't have any cameras soooooooo I guess this has gotta do the trick for now.

You can mess with the dials to change the audio and the channel. There's a danger bar, which, with the power of the mighty wall, gets destroyed and ran over by a truck.

This night we have 3 threats active those being Diner Bear Dust Bunny and Endo 00

Diner Bear is gonna make his way to the window, and have a tantrum when you hear him knocking and the danger bar going up, cover your eyes with space.

dust bunny is basically just a fnaf 2 character when he appears cover the eyes and he'll leave.

The endo's a lot more interesting when he comes to the office. He'll start saying a random number and you gotta change the channel to that number. He'll also kill you if the danger bar fills up.

There's technically another threat active being this blue blob thing.

It doesn't have a name, and it'll instantly leave when you switch the channel, but if you don't, it does this.

yeah mf just gives you a bsod and shuts down the game yeah no wonder he doesn't have a name fucking bitch

And yeah that was night 1, but fear not we got post nights!!!!!!!!

We gotta clean the shitty bathrooms, because Thomson doesn't wanna do it, I mean I don't blame him at all, but Happy Frog is here to save the day; she'll do it for us as long as we'll answer 16 questions.

Oh and there's this poster i wonder what those letters are about

Yeah uh the questions.

We got many interesting questions, like, what do you do in Night 3 of ms [aint edition 1, or what's love, or the release date for One Night of unoriginality all that good stuff.

he thanks you for cleaning the toilets and then looks at the mirror, realizing how ugly she is, she breaks down, and it ends, amazing.

"boy after what i just witnessed i'd have to be real stupid to go back there for another night"

Thomson calls us again, talking about more of the stuff he saw at the Diner one time when he was working for the animatronics at Freddy's, he saw two glowing dots in the distant, he thought about using his flashlight but, something in him told him not to.

He tells us to change channels constantly and that you shouldn't linger on one channel for too long nor should you switch too much.

He mentions one last thing: The Diner has a basement. There's something 100% in there, and it probably has some connection to what's going on with the suits. After that, he hangs up.

Tonight 2 new threats become active Frosty and A N I M A L

Frosty is pretty simple, if you see his eyes in the hallway just ignore him he's completely useless.

I think it genuinely would've been better if you used the lights on him cause that would make an actual threat and make the lights actually useful, but whatever.

Now, the other guy "A N I M A L" every now and then, when you change a channel or when he feels like it, you'll get a hallucination of him. That's about it, he's just a shitty dude who wants to see people be sad and lonely.

Here's a fun fact his design is based on the blue masked kid in the happiest day minigame!

And with all that done onto the post night

It's time for us to leave Fredbear's, but somethings not right, there's nothing there, and everythings dark, and worse, Orville's after you.

He'll appear in the dark and when you see him just stop

Gameplay wise, it's probably the weakest night in the game, but the eeriness of it kinda makes up for it especially that blood puddle over there, and when you're almost done, he'll start chasing you, and you gotta RUN, mannnnnnnnn look at those ARMS.

And yeah that's everything from night 2 this all seams pretty simple, but trust me, everything on night 3 and onwards is phenomenal

Masquerade

we get another call by our good old friend tyson he talked about the basement with william and he assured him there's no basement yep it was all a lie everythings fine don't switch channels shine the light at his eyes DON'T put them to rest there's nothing in the basement thomson does not exist he's not screa!@&*(^@*^#@

Two new threats are active Barky the dog and the Mustache man.

Barky is kinda like a music box character, he'll start on a random channel, and he'll slowly get closer and closer.

The only way to send him back is to keep flipping through random channels; i mean, hey, one more reason not to linger on one.

The mustache man can appear on a random channel, and you gotta click on him to send him away. That's about it.

I mean, HEY, one more reason not to linger on one channel, he's also the hardest character in the game, at least for me.

though for whatever reason... the endos gone and he doesn't attack even once wonder what happened to him....

Now onto the post night which is probably my favorite one.

we're in the backroom and we gotta fix the generator just uh ignore the massive crate right there

First step is to turn off the lights annnnnnnnnnnnd the crate monster escaped.

Well, fuck him now step 2, you gotta do the scary maze game 16 times, collect a bunch of clocks, keys, you know, just like any other generator. How could you not know that? Where are you from, Florida?

This parts genuinely really fun it does get kinda confusing at times but it's still fun if the timer runs out mr Hippo kills you

Here's the entire map for the scary maze... huh.... are those words?

We finish the maze and mr hippo thanks us by telling us his wonderful story.

i AIN'T spoiling it go listen to it on your own it's real good onto night 4

Fate

.... who the fuck is that?

The thing says that we really don't need any help no more and mentions that if we want to have some real fun just go to channel 3 and put the volume to 20 where's tyson!@&(*W23

Just uh this is it right.

Oh it's uh pong.

literally every human on earth knows how pong works you get the square to the other side 10 times and you win!....

I still feel like I'm missing something. What what happened to Thomson? Maybe something in Night 1? I have to be missing somethin- what the hell is that?

It's Thomson.

Thomson says that William killed him when he was checking the basement; there was a LOT of weird stuff there, and that Will was doing something evil there. He found some other psychopath's work. It was phenomenal.. it changed him, so he continued his legacy.

The suits are possessed by the people the original guy killed, he murdered them in the office OUR office

Thomson says that he and some of the others are not bound by time and can send messages to both the future and the past.

will is planning to kill at least one person the others have a plan to fix everything reach them they'll be waiting in the shadows.

that was definitely a lot to take in but despite that the actual night doesn't offer anything new but the post night certainly does.

there's a book case a drawing of animal mr hippo and a ghost and shadows bonnies just being a dick and making fun of you

If you click on the books in order it'll open up letting you go into the basement

If you check on the computer you'll find a message by William talking about the puppet.

You have to hack it to basically fuck over Charlie yyyyyyyyyyikes bruh.

With that done, now what? Where the fuck is Thomson? There's a door with a danger sign, but it needs a valve, which can be found on the other side. You put it on, and you start to open it, hopefully nothing goes wron- what the fuck is that.

This lil goober is omen Chica, and she wants to crack your skull open and eat your brain.

She'll come from the TV door and the staircase, just hold the light on her, it's fine, she can't hurt you. We open up the door and go inside aaaaaaaaaaaaaand, it's a bunch of human faces nailed to the wall.

And also Thomsons corpse.

When Connor gets out he hears someone having a full on mental breakdown, and it cuts to daytime.

Everyone's having a good time, will and henry are just having a nice chat in the backroom.

William asks about how Henrys kids are doing, even though he does love them, they're definitely a hassle sometimes.

Will says that Henrys always been the creative part, and he wished he had the same ingenuity as him.

Henry tries to cheer him up but all Will says is "do you now?"

It cuts to Charlie outside the diner you already know what's going to happen.

There are some weird ass shadowy figures in the rain, talking about what happened, the puppet comes to pick up Charlies corpse and they hide.

Henry goes outside to check what the hell happened and yeah......... bro breaks down in tears

GUILT

i escaped from there but what happened while i was out?

The Clown thing finally gives some context about the blue thing in the tv, it's apparently his offspring; he's using it so he can generate a new version, and according to him, the blue thing will be much, much more powerful.

At the start of the night the puppet breaks the light buttons and takes them away, everything's black and white now.

Obviously this night the puppet is active

There's a music box in channel 7 you know what to do.

This night's probably the hardest, not including stuff like Max Mode and the Super Secret Night (which I'm not gonna bring up). Everyone's way more active, and now, you gotta take care of the puppet too, but it's more than manageable.

Onto the post night.

You just gotta play simon says with her, do it a couple of times and she'll start talking.

She keeps shitting on you and proceeds to drop a big fat juicy plot twist.

WHA RHFKSOHF(_PWHO(YD)(@*()_#*(_)P!!*+(@!UYMNX@!)EZM<)EMWS<S

it's time for the final night night 6......

BODIES

The Clown thing asks us what we've even accomplished Nothing. We've achieved nothing. If anything, we caused more harm than good. The Clown realizes that, despite all that we're still taking this seriously, after all the dumbass things he and Thomson said, the hallucinations, the discord notifs, and the vine booms we're still taking this seriously even though It all means nothing Connor's such a fool.

.....what the fuck is THAT????????????

Night 6 is kind of a boss night, but also not really, if anything it's just there for story reasons.

EVERYONES now gone, and replaced by these purple demon things???

One of them asks us if we opened the basement which uh, bet your sweet ass we did!

As i said these purple fucks replace everything, so deal with them the same way you did with everyone else, as the night goes on they start talking more and more.

It's a really cool experience going in blind so i'm not gonna cover everything but basically.

these "things" are the corpses in the basement fused with endos, and their purpose is to do all of williams crimes, i mean

how did william get away with the stuff he did, simple by not doing them.

Remember those weird shadow things that killed charlie?

They were the purple things they did literally ALL of williams sins they're not human they're not normal they don't eat they don't feel they don't sleep they only exist to do his bidding forever.

Onto the post night we're in uh hell?

You step in and um.

okay where the fuck do i go man.

god this map SUCKS who made it i genuinely hate the 70s so much when is star wars coming out again.

Just keep wondering wondering and wondering and uh, well look who we have here it's the fat bastard himself!

um lets look at some bacon fun facts

aha mhm wowie this is uh very cool thanks

Ok back on topic what the hell do we do, well when you die which you 100% will you'll get a hint about checking the cake at the party room, and would you look at that!

Now, all we have to do is get to the exit. If you hear Porkpatches breathing, stop everything till you hear him stop. If you see him blocking your way, just turn around, you'll eventually get out of here.

When you leave you get a view of the diner

..... 1,972 timelines...

i have failed you and i will fail you again

the road ahead is long and treacherous

your road has fallen

someday, mind will too

the people who have been hurt

and those who will be

i am forever indebted to them all

my fate has been sealed i know the shadows told me

but in the interim i still need to believe i can make a difference

what else are my options?

i must guide others on this twisted path

this is what i want

i can only hope there will be justice in the end and then everyone can finally be at peace

....i know what i must do

After the credits roll there's one last thing we need to do one final request.

Henrys out of town for Charlies funeral Thomsons fucking dead and Fredbears is closing freddy's is still planning to open and if it does well he'll give Connor a raise the springlock suits are ready
