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…

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…

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…

Curious of the endings in FNAF: Security Breach? Check out our true ending guide to find out the story behind Gregory.

FNAF Security Breach and Help Wanted Story Explained

Guides
fnaf story explained

The mainline story ended with the Pizza Simulator, where Willaim Afton, Molten Freddy (Ennard), Scrapbaby (Elizabeth Afton) and for some reason Lefty burns up. Fazbear Entertainment, the business, continues to run pizza parlors with animatronics for what we assume is years and years until they reach the point that they’re able to build effectively a near fully autonomous Pizzaplex. In the meantime, they started development on a game to help with public perception: FNAF Help Wanted. This was to help clarify that Scott has been dragging their name through the dirt and they’d have some fun with it as well to help promote Fazbear properties. It’s important to note that Security Breach is a direct sequel to FNAF 6 (the Pizza Simulator). In one of the endings, its made clear that the Pizzaplex was built on top of the Pizza Place from FNAF 6. FNAF Help Wanted’s Plot The story…

Who is the Second Vanessa in FNAF Security Breach?

Editorials
image 1 5

Something that’s a bit of an interesting thought is why does Vanessa appear at the top of the Pizzaplex while it is burning down in FNAF Security Breach’s “Exit via the VIP Fire Escape” ending? I mean, Vanny is unmasked as Vanessa and the CD tapes hidden throughout all but confirm that Vanessa was working with Glitchtrap. So why is the security guard, Vanessa, still at the top of the Pizzaplex? Occam’s Razor Theory 1: A Twin This explains why some of Vanessa’s lines come off as sincere and why they don’t just end Gregory whenever they first capture him in the elevator after the map bot jumpscare. What it doesn’t explain is how either one of them wouldn’t somehow mention the other at any given time. So it’s simple and to the point, the security guard is working at the Pizzaplex to likely locate their missing twin, who is…
