After fnaf 3 originally came out, Scott released a teaser on his site, with nothing but Freddy's hat on a checkered floor.

There was no secret text and nothing if you brighten it up, just Freddy's hat. The next teaser was the same place, now with the hat gone.

When fnaf 3 first came out, a lot of people wondered how a sequel could work, since the souls of the original kids were now free, and people thought Springtrap fucking died.

So then this guy, Kane Carter, also known as the guy that went to hell for a rickroll, came up with an idea. What if someone bought some of the items from the Fazbears Fright auction and decided to make their own restaurant, That's how Popgoes came to be.

The game was in development for 15 months, from march 2015 until june 2016,There were 6 different coders, Whenever a new one would come, they would basically had to scrap everything since the team didn't know what the old coder was really going for.

Eventually, Kane ended up finding Phisnom, and he coded the entire game.

There's a lot more about the game's development, which I'm not gonna go into, but if you're interested, go check out the developer commentary kane made

Now time to talk about the actual important stuff, the game.
______________________________________________________

Menu time and huh...

In a lot of fangame menus, you have a random character having a mental breakdown on the right, with the logo and the game stuff on the right.

This game goes for its own thing, and it's cool. The credits section gives some more extra development lore Also, what's a WeaselWare Idk, what do you think?

New game time, and here's our office.

We can look behind us, to the left, to the right, and above so below.

There isn't a mini map on the monitor, but we have a phone that lets us do basically everything. It's also where we get our phone calls, speaking of phone calls Let's talk about them.

The phone guy is Jeremy Fitzgerald, the poor fuck from fnaf 2, now calling himself Fritz Glade,Fritz couldn't get us an actual proper office, so we have to use one of the cafe monitors next to the characters on the stage, The phone we have at night during the day is used by the kiddins to watch brainrot slop. Fritz says if we start stressing a lot, we can look at the window to our right to calm down a bit.

Fritz talks about the animatronics they're multi task robots that can do a lot of stuff, They even run the entire place, Yes there's no human employees here.......bastard man.

Fritz added a feature where we can ask him 3 different questions after the base phone call is done for this night. We have 'What is the room shutdown button'?

The room shutdown button allows us to completely reset 6 locations. In each of these 6 locations is a 3D printer. If SOMETHING tries messing with them, just room shutdown, and you're good to go.

What are the robots capable of doing.

The characters are able to do literally anything. They can cook, clean, take care of the kids and sing bad pop songs. All of the shell used on their endoskeleton are 3D printed.

How is the place during the day.

When ever a kid enters the place, they can grab a WeaselWare phone and mess around with it. The phone connects to a monitor, like ours. If the kid's being a dick, one of the animatronics will take the phone away and tell them to get a life Wow, time to FINALLY talk about the gameplay

This night 2 animatronics are active

Popgoes the weasel, and stone the crow.

Let's talk about the main man first, Popgoes will leave his stage and go to cam 4.

When he's here he will choose to go to either cams 1, 2, 3, 5 or 6 when he's at any of these cams, press the room shutdown button to stop him.

Ok, but what happens if you fail, Well Popgoes gets one of 6 black toy bonnie pieces.

All 6 of these pieces together will create the "Black Rabbit".

When she comes to life, she will instantly kill you.

She's also the only character that can really kill you. Canonically, the reason the player dies to the other character is because they had a panic attack and hallucinated everything. Despite all that, Popgoes takes his sweet ass time to get just ONE part, so you won't be dying to her anytime soon.

For all my 2015 fnaf fans out there, yes, this mechanic is based off the old theory of Springtrap using the toy animatronics remains to build an animatronic to kill you.

Now, Stone, he will stay still outside, holding that sign till the end of time, completely rent free. He's the reason the panic bar fills up. If it starts getting full, halfway, you're gonna start hallucinating him on the cameras, so look at the window to calm down.

Sometimes he feels a bit silly and decides to do a Sonic.EXE cosplay and stare at you.

Just look somewhere else, and look back, and everything's back to normal, like nothing ever happened.

Yeah, that's night 1 down. Time for the post night mini games.

We play as Stone in the literally same weird fleshy area back in Popgoes Arcade 2016 You can move with wasd and interact with space You'll eventually find bbs remains. Interacting with them shows this screen.

Just some dude with his daughter holding a balloon, hmm

After wondering around some more, Stone finds BB tied to whatever these things are.

Getting close to him will start night 2 phone call time. Fritz says that we can't slack off, he's always watching. In fact, after our first week, he's gonna watch all our stuff to see if we're qualified to continue.

It's almost winter, so it's gonna be obviously cold, so now we can use the vent cams to activate lasers to heat up the place. The lasers will stay up for around a minute. Time for the questions.

Why can't i keep heating up the vents: Having the lasers on will cause the systems to overheat and cause a fire, just like the attraction from a year ago.

Can't the robots sort out the heating: Fritz says he did try it with one of the girls, but he just decided it's best for them to rest during the night, If something were to get stuck there or touch one of the lasers, that would be one hell of a law suit.

How does the heating work: They are just very thick laser beams going from one phase of the vent to the other... Yeah.

This night 2, well, technically night 1 animatronic's become active
Sara and Saffron.

The squirrels will leave the stage, go to cam 9, then 8, and then enter the vent in cam 6.

When in the vent, you’ll have to heat it up but guess what fritz, fuckking lied, that hoe in reality the timer for the lasers lasts 9 seconds just like Popgoes and Stone the only way for them to actually kill you is for you to panic.

If they do reach your place, they'll just steal your phone like a little bitch, causing you to F2 and cry.

Something I really don't like is that Sara and Saffron are basically the same character doing the exact same thing, so they don't stand out all that much.

Thankfully in Evergreen, Saffron is getting a completely new mechanic so That's pretty epic Oh yeah, the post night.

Ok, so you're the edgy one and you gotta go forward eventually, you'll find a hat, and boom, Fazbear Fright auction.

Is Freddy's hat really that important Whatever, you’ll find the fat man, and it ends.

Night 3 time, Fritz apologizes for being a lying bitch and tells us an epic story.

One day, one of the brats broke into the server room. Fritz sees this and, obviously, freaks out.

But One of the animatronics, Blake the badger, decides to play with the kid, They play Simon says on the screen.

As Fritz says simon SOMETHING turns on in his room and he just skips to the qna.

Continue the story you frontal lobeless cunt: The kid ended up really liking Blake, and now he's a royal customer or something like that.

What's Simon says:....... Come on, there's no way you're that lame.

What were you doing creature: Fritz says he was talking to his "brother" right.................

This night, Blake the badger is active.

He's on our right, he'll get up and go to the server room After a while, you'll see the little square on your phone draining battery so check the server room cam.

One of five colors will appear either green, yellow, blue, purple, or red. Click on the buttons with the same color as the monitor in the server room and press the big yellow button on the left to send him away. If you fail, Blake will shut off the monitor, not letting you do jack shit.

Post night time.

You play as Sara time to find the remains to get the secret screen.

Oh hey, there's Toy Chica, and who the fuck is thatttttttttttt

Why, that's Gem Stone. Get it Get it Get it.

He has a chance to appear in any of the minigames If he feels like it he can also appear in the cameras oh yeah, night 4.

Fritz decides to tell us about his life. He was born in November 1968 in Texas. He lived with his family in an apartment, His dad was an architect, his mom stayed at home, and he spent most of his time with his brother, Simon.

In 1987, he got a job at the new Freddy Fazbear's pizza, which caused toy bonnie to attack him and cause the bite of ‘87.

Fritz basically died, but, he ended up getting a MASSIVE blood donation, which saved his life.

To try to get away from being the victim of media he changed his name to Fritz. qna time.

where do you get all the money from: easy by running the place

What else did you work on: In 2019, he made a self driving car in his garage, which like COOL. Back in the 90s, he made some electric guitars, only to sell them all to a school, and in 2016, he made a video game with the help of his daughter, Bonnie.

The reason he called her Bonnie was so Fritz could love that name again after the bite, the game he made was Weaselworld, also known as Popgoes Arcade 1.

What inspired you to start the restaurant: Fritz says he had a lot of trouble with nightmares, so one of his friends online told him to start some kind of religious thing to get rid of them.

And it worked! Once, the idea is to build some kind of scarecrow based of what's giving you nightmares. Around that time Fazbear's Fright burnt to the ground, so Fritz went back to America so he could buy some of the stuff. one of them being Freddy's hat, the box filled with toy animatronics, and most importantly, springtrap's remains. Yes, he did die.

So, then Fritz took the idea of the other scarecrows, and turned them into Popgoes and the gang.

Night 4, 5, and 6 don't add any new animatronics so, post night time.

ahem, you play as the smelly skunk.

Go find the mangle, Oooooooooh Look blood bunker... What.

And there she is look at her

night 5 phone call time

Fritz says we're doing a great job, and he might even let us fuck around in his office changing the animatronics' ai.

He then talks about Freddy's most importantly the murders. Fritz thinks that whoever was behind them had to have had some kind of moral reason.

One of the most popular theories was that the guy luring the kids had purple skin and was wearing purple cloths. This was around the time of the bite. They never found out who even donated the blood, so what if it was him?

qna time

What do people say about the murders: According to Fritz, the main theory was that the guy behind it was a mental patient or some sort of psychopath, and just stabbed kids for the sake of it.

Throughout Freddy's history, over 20 bodies were found in the suits, all of them being kids. There had to have been a reason for anyone to go out of their way to kill 20 kids.

Another piece of evidence for the killer being purple was in one of the locations they found a drawing that had a purple figure in the background.

What is your connection to Freddy's? In the town Fritz lived in back in America, Freddy, and the others, were Extremely popular, even more so than Ronald McDonald or the kfc guy.

What even is Weaselware:Weaselware is an operating system that's linked to basically every machine in the restaurant.

Its original purpose was to find DNA around the world to try to find who donated the blood. Though that turned out to be illegal, so he changed it into helping out with the restaurant instead.

Post night time

You play as Kane Carter, and you gotta escape from hell.

On your way you find some poor purple dude crying.

Oh yeah, hey Toy Bonnie

Night 6 time

We get our last phone call from Fritz, but he seems really stressed. Fritz says, he has us a question; a genuine, serious question.

There's this...person that's really close to you. He's recently been acting...strange, maybe a bit scary. People say he's done horrible things. But...you've trusted him. For all your life. He's been listening to your problems and you really look up to him. Even if this person has made big mistakes in his life, if he does regret it in the end, would you be willing to forgive them if you know who he is? Would you look past his errors and...try to bring him back into your life? Do you think...you can trust him?....no, this will do. Thank you for working with me so much. This is the end of your shift at the Popgoes' Pizzeria. Let me know your answer.

On your phone, two options appear: YES and NO. Clicking either of them doesn't do anything, but hey, better than nothing.

Fun fact One of the original plans for Night 6 was a Toy Bonnie boss fight, but it got scrapped. Have some renders of it.

Okay, now this is the perfect time to talk about my overall thoughts on the game so far, and it's great, really great. It's actually really weird to see a fan game from back then have so much unique shit to it. The gameplay flows really well, although there are a couple of issues.

First, the game doesn't really look all that great. The location feels a bit too squeaky clean for my liking.

The animatronics don't look that great, either.

Sara and Saffron look good. Their tails look really shitty, though.

Stone looks pretty ugly, Him being bald is really noticeable, unlike his Evergreen design. Popgoes looks okay, Blake’s big ass forehead makes him look really stupid, in a good way.

Something else, the animatronics are supposed to be 3D printed, but the textures on them make them look like shitty plastic. So whoops.

Now, the other thing I really don’t like, and this one’s a really big issue.

The nights all last 10 minutes, 10 FULL minutes. I don't think I need to go in-depth about why that sucks, but seriously, why?

Why 10 minutes What did Nights being 6 minutes ever do to you.

Okay enough of that Post night tim- Oh, wait. The end?

What We just got is the GEM ending, which is the bad ending. But how do we get the gooooood ending Hmmmmm. First, let's talk about Custom Night.

We have five challenges. Beating them gives us these epic toys.

Beating 4/20 or 5/20 gives us a very important secret cutscene.

We see two small children.

They start to grow up, the one on the left becomes more purple...

And whoops he became a murderer.

He becomes springtrap

And now he's a head poor bastard...

Well, that was something, Oh yeah, MAJOR spoiler warning.

Turns out the entire time we weren't playing as a human, we were playing as a robot called Sec Strings.

Strings was the only working scarecrow, and his entire purpose was to get rid of the puppet, explaining that one cutscene in Popgoes Arcade 1.

Ok, time to talk about the secret ending. This first step is completely optional, but I'm still gonna talk about it. You need to die to everyone in a specific order, Stone, Saffron, Sara, Blake, Popgoes, and Blackrabbit. It's the same order as the post night minigames.

On the top right of each of their jumpscare, there will be some text telling you the number of seconds and a specific camera where something is supposed to happen.

So go back to night 1, wait for that exact amount of time in that exact camera, and... who the fuck is that

Quickly press the red button and beat the night normally.

In the post night minigames, there's a robotic voice saying something,fnaf 2 style. You'll eventually find him again.

You get into the spotlight and get turned into one of the LUX animatronics.

Now, you can walk to any of the toy animatronics and destroy them.

Keep finding him and pressing the Buttons and destroy the toy animatronics until finally, on Night 6, he's behind you now.

"YOU"LL HAVE TO SAVE HER AND I"LL MAKE HIS WISH COME TRUE THANK YOU STRINGS"

Now, you have unlocked the sixth minigame.

Interact with the printer to get the last secret screen.

You'll find HIM again, now looking a bit different.

He turns Blackrabbit into the Whiterabbit, wow.

You'll find fritz and kill him.

And then a cutscene starts, the skeleton man comes out of Fritz’ room, and just stares at Strings, like he took a shit in front of him.

And then we get this screen telling us that we obeyed a monster.

We finally get a name for the skeleton "Simon"

Ok, so like what the actual fuck just happened Well, it's complicated, really complicated, to understand everything, We gotta go back.
"note if you just really hate lore you can skip this if you want also i'll skip a lot of the unimportant stuff"

some time in the 70s, Fredbear’s Family diner opened, with the mascots being Fredbear, Bonnie the bunny, later named Springbonnie, JJ, and the puppet.

One day, Jeremy broke into Fredbear's and accidentally caused JJ to break down; she gets scrapped for parts.

Fredbear's ends up closing down due to the place running out of cash, Fazbear Entertainment is born, and in 1984, four Freddy Fazbear's pizza locations are opened across the US.

Each of these locations had a special cameo animatronic, being Cody the Coyote, Lillie the Lamb, Owen the Owl, and Golden Freddy.

Freddy and the others had different clothes depending on the location they were in. The animatronics in the Golden Freddy location would go on to become the Withereds in FNAF 2.

Around this time, Jeremy's brother, Simon, becomes interested in the idea of extending his own life, not through remnant, but using the blood of children on himself.using the Springbonnie suit, and he murders a couple of kids in all four of these locations, causing them all to shut down.

All five animatronics in the withered locations became possessed. It's unknown if the same thing happened to the others.

In 1987, the NEW Freddy Fazbear's pizza opens. Simon uses the Springbonnie suit again, murdering five more kids, which would go on to possess the toy animatronics.

Jeremy gets to be the night guard, which leads to the events of fnaf 2. On his seventh day, the kid possessing Toy Bonnie mistakes Jeremy for Simon and goes to get his revenge.

Simon is heartbroken by what happened to his brother and donates all the blood to him, saving his life.

Although sadly, Jeremy finds out about Simon's experiments, and he gets so scared, he leaves the US and moves to the UK for the rest of his life.

Around this time, FNAF 1 happens, and Fazbear Entertainment goes out of business and Simon gets springlocked.

Jeremy meets someone; they get married and have a daughter, calling her Bonnie, so he could love that name again.

Back in the US, Fazbear’s Fright is getting ready to open.

Phone dude is beta testing one of the arcade machines, only for him to get killed by Simon, now known as the Spring trap.

Fazbear's Fright burns to the ground, taking Springtrap and most of the props with it.

Jeremy comes back to the US to buy some of the items, only to find Simon's remains in Springtrap. He takes him back to the UK to give him an actual burial.

As a way to honor his brother's shitty legacy, Jeremy builds Simon the robot and just hangs him in a wall. Now, onto Bonnie.

In 2024, she was super into the idea of there being an afterlife, or "Happiest Day," so she came to the conclusion that to become a ghost, you need to be murdered by another person. She wears Toy Bonnie's mask, causing Jeremy to panic and chop her into pieces.

A few days later, Jeremy is coding Popgoes and is drunk as hell. So he puts in the code "save Bonnie," which is the reason Popgoes does everything in his power to make the Black rabbit.

Simon notices this and comes up with an evil plan. Simon makes Strings hallucinate about the Lux animatronics and forces Jeremy to let him use WeaselWare.

Simon goes and prints all of Blackrabbit's parts. Bonnie possesses them and instantly kills Jeremy, freeing Simon. Then, Simon goes up and beats up Strings.

WOW that was so long

_______________________________________________________
final verdict:

This game is pretty great. All my critiques from before still stand, seriously, what were they thinking with the night times....

Something I didn't like about the Grave ending was the fact that Simon only stayed at that one place for like 2 seconds, so you can have your panic really high, Popgoes in one of the rooms, and the lasers shut off while he's there, but that's a really minor problem to me. It gets an 8/10 now I can finally talk about the Evergreen stuff bye.

ok this is pretty anti climactic uhhhhhhhhhhhh YEAH THIS THING SURE

YYYEEEEEEEEEEH
