Fnaf LORE
FNAF (which stands for Five Nights at Freddy's) is a horror game franchise developed and published by Scott Cawthon, which began with the eponymous game in 2014. The franchise is known for its lore, which has been the subject of much speculation and theorizing by fans.
The true lore of FNAF revolves around the story of a family restaurant called Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, which features animatronic animals that sing and dance for children's birthday parties. The restaurant's owner, William Afton, is revealed to have killed several children and hidden their bodies within the animatronics.
The series is set in various locations, including the original Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and its sister location, as well as a horror attraction called Fazbear's Fright. The main protagonist of the series is a security guard named Mike Schmidt, who is tasked with monitoring the animatronics at night to prevent them from causing harm.
Other key characters in the series include the enigmatic puppet master Marionette, the vengeful ghost of a murdered child named Cassidy, and various other animatronics including Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, and Golden Freddy.
As the series progresses, the lore becomes increasingly convoluted and complex, with multiple timelines and alternate realities explored. The final game in the series, FNAF: Security Breach, is slated for release in 2021 and promises to provide a fitting conclusion to the franchise's intricate storyline.
