FNAF Movie Story Summarized & Ending / Lore Explained

Guides
fnaf movie ending explained

The Five Night’s at Freddy’s (2023) (Blumhouse) movie has been released and with it a new story in the FNAF universe has been added. The movie, taking place in its own universe, follows the story of Mike Schmidt as he just tries to work as a night security guard at a local abandoned pizzeria. The movie is not canonical to the games and resides within its own canonical universe. Easter eggs, focused around the security cameras in the game, have tie-ins relating to the games, but the story doesn’t mirror the games. The story of the FNAF movie focuses on survival horror of Mike, Abby and Vanessa in the pizzeria, surviving the ghosts within the animatronics both mentally and physically. We’ve got full spoilers on the entire story along with the ending below. If you’re looking for game lore, check out our Ruin’s Ending Explained. Our summary is condensed to…

Mondealy Review: An Unforgettable Journey Through a Pixelated Wonderland

Guides
mondealy

You should play Mondealy if you have the chance to. That’s our review. If you want to know why we say that, read on, but ultimately, we’re going to tell you to play Mondealy. If you don’t like visual novels, that’s fine. If you don’t like pixel art, that’s fine. If you don’t like indie games, that’s fine. Go play it. That’s as high of an honor as a game can get from us and we’ll gladly hand it to this year’s best visual novel adventure game. Mondealy is a journey of friendship in a weird world that exists slightly below our own. The best way to describe is what happens in Undertale if the barrier went down but no one left and classism is at the top of the discussion list. Modern culture weaves through with love and affection as Michael journeys through a world that evokes both nostalgia…

Who is the Mimic in Five Nights at Freddy’s?

Guides
image 18 4

The Mimic can be considered to be William Afton’s soul transferred to an animatronic, known as Springtrap that’s had the springlock suit break apart. Springtrap, after being burned, becomes Burntrap. Burntrap, after being left alone for a while and decaying to its endoskeleton, becomes the Mimic. This is one possibility. This is supported by the fact that the model for the Mimic is based on Burntrap. While it doesn’t have a rabbit-like face, it does fit into the Burntrap suit perfectly. An alternate possability is that The Mimic in Security Breach is the endoskeleton of Circus Baby. It’s theorized that Circus Baby was a springlock suit and that there was an endoskeleton inside. This is why the only time you see Baby in Sister Location, she’s in the same position as Golden Freddy, another springlock suit. The Circus Baby springlock suit was destroyed in the fire but the endoskeleton, aka…

Then we’ll go into some of the personal characters. To be very blunt, the ending to FNAF: Security Breach – Ruin is left hard to interpretation and theorizing.

Tim Cain’s Video on WildStar is True but Misleading

Editorials
wildstarpresskitphoto

Tim Cain is known as part of the legendary trio behind Fallout 1 & 2. He also worked at Troika and programmed Vampire: The Masquerade and one of my favorite games Arcanum. He recently released a video lambasting Carbine and NCSoft while disclosing some deep interpersonal issues at Carbine. Tim’s video is authentic and his recount is accurate by all means. I covered WildStar heavily from 2011 onward and the stories back then were well known. Carbine was a toxic and unhealthy workplace which had the potential to release the best MMO of the golden age but instead failed with 9 years of development time and a further four post-launch to win back everyone ala Final Fantasy XIV. The video is very misleading in some ways. It argues that there was a lack of unified vision. That’s true, but it was also completely the fact that everyone at Carbine was…

The Rise, Fall and Future of Lore: Why Recent Indie Games Failed and How to Fix Them

Editorials
lore based games cr yurika corporation

Lore and worldbuilding have the power to ignite passion in players and fuel an immersive experience. At their best, lore-driven games create a sense of mystery and discovery that motivate players to explore each part of the world. However, some recent games have exploited lore and ambiguity primarily as a marketing tactic, rather than using it to enhance gameplay or build meaning. This phenomenon highlights the need for more balanced, player-centered design. When developers commit to transparency and ethical practices, lore can be used to strengthen community trust and craft impactful stories. But that depends on valuing immersion and artistry over profits alone. We’ll dive into the history of lore focused games, what happened and where to go from here. This is all inclusive of the entire indie scene, even if there’s a heavy emphasis on mascot horror. It makes the best example and we’ll avoid referencing mascot horror to…

Diablo IV’s Ending Explained

Guides
lilith igc

Diablo IV has a very anticlimactic ending that may leave you scratching your head if the game is really over or what has occurred. It may not make a lot of sense at first, but there’s a few things at play when it comes to the ending. We’ll go first over the ending itself literally then take a figurative look at what all of this means for Sanctuary. Quick Note: For the backstory on Lilith, Inarius and Sanctuary see sort of “Part 1” which goes over the events before the game. We’re going to dive right into the ending, which kicks off towards the very end of Diablo IV. How Does Diablo IV End? Inarius and Lilith were both, from the player character’s point of view, insane from their time exiled. Inarius had been in hell for a few millennia per Lorath (which holds the canon from the books still)…

Editorials
gregory yuricorpcustom

Gregory is the main character in Five Nights at Freddy’s Security Breach. Gregory has no details in the base game on his past, where he came from or how he ended up in the Fazbear Pizzaplex. There isn’t any answers at all in the base game that provides any conclusion as to his identity although there are multiple theories going out there, many of which sound super feasible, but let’s start with what the game tells us. Curious of the endings in FNAF: Security Breach? Check out our true ending guide to find out the story behind Gregory. Gregory was Captured by Vanessa The most likely background story for Gregory is that he was captured by Vanessa through any myriad of ways.
