FNAF Movie Story Summarized & Ending / Lore Explained

October 28, 2023 Guides

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…

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

June 12, 2023 Editorials

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.

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…

Who is the Second Vanessa in FNAF Security Breach?

March 25, 2023 Editorials

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…
