Hey, y'all. I wanted to address some questions about why the game was removed and then later restored. "Locked Within was not taken down because of Springtrap's absence, new characters, gameplay issues, controversy, or personal struggles. My team and I enjoyed reading your reasoning, and I can confidently say that none of those reasons contributed to the game's removal.

To clarify why Springtrap didn’t appear in this installment, even though it's still titled "One Night at Springtrap's," the game focuses on his origins and tells his story. In fact, the character who represents Springtrap is still alive within the game's narrative, as you can see in the cutscenes.

Ultimately, I removed the game because I wasn't proud of it and wanted to erase it from my history. However, after discussing it with friends and colleagues, I realized that it was a complete game that many people enjoyed. There was definitely a lot of content in this short experience.

After some consideration, I decided to contact Game Jolt, who helped me restore the game. So, here it is, back for you to enjoy and here to stay. In the far future, it would be great to have this game included in a museum alongside the rest of my legacy.
