I'm pretty sure that it was obvious that NSaW 2 was oddly more empty than the first game, the phone guy is supposed to not only help you out to but also to make you warmer in your deadly shift. Sadly, starting on this game there was no phone guy leading to have some tips in the Game Over screen when you get killed by a specific animatronic in NSaW 2 or tips in the what night screen in NSaW 3. The question was still floating around the air: what was the reason of this? It wasn't a thing of lore but something that happened during late development. Oh boy the ride will be short but still interesting.

Warning: There are might be some missing details as I am writing this by memory.

I remember that it was like january 2024, the development was almost completed but still raw, being one of them the voice lines for the phone guy. Fortunately the script was completed since late 2023 so all I needed was a voice actor, since I didn't meet Sim until July 2025 and sadly nobody on Game Jolt seemed to be interested I had to talk to Customer if he could send me a voice actor perfect for this role. I remember that Customer wanted to help me out to replace my ugly lines (I'm bad at spoken english) but I rejected it as he already voiced a character for NSaW 1 to avoid repeating voice actors in the same series sharing the same voice. Okay, the case was that after talking with him for that he didn't give me a voice actor but for some reason he made a groupchat for that and he put someone who, quickly left and instead added two people, one who I am not going to reveal but the other... well...

That one guy seemed to be perfect as he had such a handsome voice, it was mature enough to fit the role of an adult despite the fact we were all dumb teens, so I sent him the scripts (which were edited by Customer so it could be understandable for the players and easy for the actor) so I thought that the problem would've been solved. In fact, The screen you get when you complete 5/20 was supposed to have a spoken line. But if this didn't led to the final result was because...

He was incompetent.

Like he said that he wouldn't make the lines because according to him they "didn't make sense". Keep in mind that Customer had to edit the script so it could be coherent, but he refused using this excuse. Something stupid because as a voice actor/actress you HAVE to make really what the papers says no matter if it's stupid or not, that's YOUR role. The thing was that since he was the only hope for this game I decided to put the game rest for a while until the lines were finished, but since there were no lines done but I wanted to not carry the weight of having a game in development I decided to release the game anyways but without the lines. Which resulted in the initial buggy mess as I was more worried about the lines than the mid-cooked state of the game. Due this I was really resentful with the fact of having voice actors as no one was interested to help out in my games until 2025 when the goat and savior of Sim appeared.

Also the guy who was supposed to be The Creator (yeah, The Creator was supposed to be the phone guy in NSaW 2) originally got exposed for being a weirdo and another bold accusations which I don't think I can talk of this as it's a serious topic.

On another note, Sim was supposed to be the phone guy in a new update for 2025. But if it didn't happen earlier was because I already lost interest for the NSaW series, sorry.
