TL;DR: This lore is something. Really something.
------
RECAP
Our story starts in the USA, where you could once find a warehouse/factory/mansion (not sure why you can find a mansion in a factory) that manufactured animatronic parts and robots. Pretty standard thing for a FNAF fangame backstory. When was this place opened?
IN 1943.
Yes, during WW2, when the USA and its allies were fighting Germany, Japan, and Italy with tooth and nails, someone was able to waste valuable war resources and technology in children's estabilishments. Also, 1943? Seriously?
TRTF's tech timeline wasn't nuked. It was erased from existence, retroactively, in the most extreme way possible! Now, I know Tyler was probably trying to sound cool and date the animatronics to a "legendary" time, but still.
Anyways, this document finally reveals to us the names of both Green Guy and Purple Guy. Their real names, respectively are Gron and Vincent. Now, Gron in swedish (Tyler's native language) means "Green". A funny pun, I'll admit that, altough Gron in swedish is supposed to be a surname. Regarding Vincent... Nothing to say about it. Tyler clearly gave him such name because Vincent was a pretty popular name for the Purple Guy back in 2015.
Gron has 2 sons: one of them called "Tyler" (It is what it looks like), and a 2nd one who isn't important to the story. One day, they try to go to GoldieParaDiner to celebrate Tyler's Birthday, but they are caught in a car crash that kills Ms. Gron and the 2nd kid, and scars Gron for life.
Then, it randomly departs to the factory, revealing that the owner traps any misbehaving employee inside a secret torture room. Gron and Vincent find out about it, and not only see lots of blood and guts, but also a scary looking robot attached to the animatronic-making machine. They try to sabotage the machine (accidentaly causing it to produce aggressive animatronics) and escape the room.
Later, the company that owns the factory gets bought out and renamed "Fazbear INC", where Fredbear and Spring Bonnie are built. However, 2 other suits are accidentaly shipped to GoldieParaDiner, suits that aren't springlock, but something else. Since nobody knows what to do with them, they are kept in the hidden bunker mentioned in TRTF 4.
Of course, both Gron and Vincent work at GoldieParaDiner, Gron as a Jester, Vincent as an accountant. However, Gron starts to have strange random allucinations, and develops a thirst for killing kids, trying to kill 5 kids on job.
It sounds even worse with the way the document is written. Gron's mental decline comes out of nowhere, and seems written in just for the sake of it. Wich it probably is.
Vincent however manages to stop his friend from Killing the kids just in time. And, then, what does he do? Does he report Gron to the police? Well... No.
Vincent's genius idea is to kill the kids himself to satisfy Gron's bloodlust, and so he wears a Spring Bonnie suit, kills the children, and then throws the bodies in some random disposal pipes.
Vincent, what the fuck?
What kind of reason to commit infanticide is this? Like, I know that Tyler isn't exactly Stephen King, but this... I genuinely cannot understand. What.
Also... We have our first major contradiction to the games: In TRTF 4, we see Vincent killing the kids one by one, without any costume. Here instead, he lures them away with a Spring Bonnie costume. For something that was supposed to clear up everything, it has a pretty big inconsistency.
Anyways, some time later Gron brings Tyler to GoldieParaDiner. While he's there, he starts to wonder wether or not he should kill his own son (because this should be edgy and dark). In the end, he brings him to the hidden bunker, hooks him to a wall (what kind of restaurant has hooks?), and starts to torture him.
After a while, he decides to stuff Tyler inside Golden Frankburt. And then you know what happens. Vincent comes in and finds Gron getting springlocked. However, he doesn't see Tyler escaping the hooks and running away. Afraid to be blamed for the accident (couldn't Tyler explain what happened? Oh yeah, Tyler's 2 years old. But can a 2 years old escape from hooks?), he tries to catch him, but Tyler manages to reach the crowd, forcing Vincent into hiding.
After the accident, GoldieParaDiner closes, and Gron is left to rot inside the suit. Later on, Frankburt's Pizza opens, with Frankburt and Kitty FazCat as entertainers. Unfortunately, the food sucks, so it closes down once again. Only location in TRTF lore to close down not for any murders, but simply because it's bad.
Then we finally reach TRTF 2, with the opening of Fredbear's Family Diner, with Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, Kitty FazCat 2.0, Sugar (who gets destroyed by Emil Mac- Err, a random kid), Dug the Dog (who has 0 lore relevance), and The Puppet. Guess who (under the fake name Fritz Smith) works there? Vincent himself.
And who goes there to have fun? Tyler. So, Vincent sees him, wears a Freddy Fazbear costume (I think it's supposed to be Golden Freddy), lures him away, and tries to kill him. Tyler hides inside Frankburt, and fucking dies. However, Tyler's GF (Self insert of IRL Tyler's ex-GF) sees this happen.
And we already have another inconsistency: Vincent wasn't wearing any Golden Freddy suit when he killed Tyler in the Night 5 minigame in TRTF 3. Also, Tyler was seemingly locked inside the room when Vincent arrived. I know I sound picky, but the lore simply doesn't match up.
Going on, Tyler leaves Frankburt to possess The Puppet, and gives life to the 5 dead kids (as depicted in GGGL in FNAF 2). The animatronics try to kill the night guard, and Fredbear's closes.
We then skip the entirety of FNAF 2 (which, didn't matter too much anyway) and go straight to TRTF 1, in 2015. Mike Schmidt comes back to work at Freddy's, because he's broke as hell. By then, we know how it plays: Aggressive Animatronics, Vincent dies on Night 5 (killed by Tyler's GF, who however should be possessing Kitty FazCat), Freddy's closes once again.
Then TRTF 3 happens: Fazbear Fantasy Land opens, Lockjaw hugs 6 kids to death, and animatronics are banned. They also find Tyler's body after 28 years (while nobody noticed Afton in FNAF 3). They give a proper grave, freeing the souls of the kids. Somehow.
15 years later FreddyFazzyFuntime opens, and the Phone Buddies find Gron's grave in the bunker. Blake dies, yatta yatta.
And then... Then we get a shocking plot twist. Apparently, Gron was TRTF 3&4's Phone Guy, thanks to an animatronic voice changer.
Yes. So:
1) How can an animatronic voice changer from 1943 still work after 87 years, and all the blood inside the suit?
2) Gron's supposed to be locked inside the hidden bunker during TRTF 3&4, and only arrives to FreddyFazzyFuntime in Night 6. How can he somehow call us if he's in the bunker? This twist is the Ass Pull to end all Ass Pulls.
Then it teases TRTF 5's story in a very unclear way.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Don't want to be too harsh, but... It's bad.
The characters have less depth than paper, the twists come out of nowhere, and it has a very messy feeling. I know it was supposed to be simply a Lore recap document, but then why even release it as a secret? And the writing... Tries too hard to be edgy, cool, dark... And because of this, the characters commit actions that don't make any sense.
Next time, we'll talk about the official novel: The Dreadful Truth. And super cancer. Yep.
Untill next time.
