Today I want to announce something important about the development of Fredbear’s And Friends: One Step Closer. Even after releasing an announcement trailer and beginning the reboot, I realized the game still wasn’t what I truly wanted it to be. A lot has changed in my vision since the first version of the project, and to create a game that really represents everything I imagine, I decided to take a step that isn’t easy, but absolutely necessary: I am restarting the entire reboot from scratch once again.

This project has a long history. It was originally created back in 2021 as Six Nights At Fredbear’s 4: Stuck In The Pizzeria, a small fangame built with Google images and assets from the original FNaF. It was made with passion, but also with limitations I simply couldn’t overcome at the time. Later, the project was reborn with the first reboot, now fully in 3D, and it even received its own announcement trailer. But even then, the result still didn’t capture the atmosphere, the tone, or the level of quality I know I can achieve today.

That is why I decided to start over again. This isn’t about throwing away what I’ve already done, it’s about transforming the game into something much stronger, cleaner, and more faithful to the identity this project always deserved. Now I can rebuild everything with a fresh foundation, redesigning models, creating new environments, restructuring the story, and planning each mechanic with more care. Everything will be revisited with patience, focus, and intention, without rushing and without reusing things that no longer fit the direction of this new phase.

This new beginning means something important: the game will finally move in the right direction, with the quality and identity I always imagined, but only now feel ready to deliver. I know many of you watched the trailer and were excited for what would come next, and I’m truly grateful to everyone who continues to support the project even through these changes. None of this would be possible without you.

Fredbear’s And Friends: One Step Closer is starting again, but this time in the right way, with more care, more maturity, and much more heart. This is the real beginning of the game I always wanted to create.

Thank you for being here. The best is still on the way...
