I've solved, FNAF, and the clue that brings it all together is this.

Don't you hate getting killed by obscure secondary characters? I'm going to Game Theory.

Last episode I brought up how the team and I have been tackling this whole timeline project.

Basically that we've broken down everything into three key sections,

the Foundation of Freddie's, the Afton era, and Post Purple Guy.

In that episode we dug hard into the last chunk, trying to figure out the recent history with things

like FNAF VR and Security Breach.

But even trickier is the first chunk, the foundation of Freddie's. You see, at this point, we all have a general basic knowledge of the games, right? Kids die, animatronics get possessed, all that good stuff. But here, that foundational stuff right at the beginning, that's the murkiest, because honestly, that

good stuff right at the beginning. That's the murkiest because honestly there's not a lot that's immediately clear that we can go off of.

Sure, there's a couple of lines from Phone Guy, maybe a sentence or two from the novels, but otherwise it seems to be about it.

How did William Afton and Henry Emily start working together?

Were they rivals?

Why did Afton start killing in the first place?

Was Fred Bear's family diner truly the first location?

These are questions that seem important for us to answer and honestly if you're

looking at where the timeline of Five Nights at Freddy's really begins it's with those

sorts of questions. The only problem is that the answers just

might not exist anywhere in the canon yet, or so I initially thought, which brings us to

today's episode. I suspect that there may be a way to answer some if not

all of those questions using a mix of evidence from the games, the books, and real life

lore. In the process I think it'll help us get a better understanding of William Afton's motives,

while also outlining a rough sequence of events that'll ultimately help place locations and other things
