Today we are talking about the tragedy that is hiding at the center of the series. This is a story of a broken family and the consequences of their choices. Today, we unlock the final secrets of The Walten Files.

I can appreciate it that someone took probably hundreds of hours of their life to make an ARG that is essentially the most esoteric anti drunk driving PSA the internet has ever seen.

[tright]

When the animatronic is “dancing”, a song called Heartaches is played and it is famously used as a sample in an album collection “Everywhere at the end of time”. The collection tackles the topic of dementia and forgetting.

Sophie: legit sees rotting corpses in haunted old video games

Also Sophie: *uh that was weird*

[DynoSkrimisher]

"A CLEARLY LAID OUT TIMELINE OF EVENTS?!"

Walten: *I gotcha, buddy*

[rasperryssoda]

I saw something saying about how Ed and Molly didnt die on impact in the car accident but were just knocked out, but Felix was too drunk to notice and panicked, therefore burying them alive

[SkylightCiel]

There's something so funny about how this series having a proper timeline is one of the most exciting things

[FaeAmesbury]

A theory I love is that Sophie lured Rosemary in the backstage since in the second tape, Sha says “Sophie, where am I” when introducing one of the rooms and that the flash of Sophie in the uniform with Bon in the back is what Rosemary saw in the back

[jax]

I think that the whole “the rabbit is starving” is a references to the fact that Susan was still alive in the suit. She probably died of starvation instead of immediately dying

[maybejupiterr]

Love how matt is overjoyed on how they show the timeline. *Fnaf Must’ve Gave His Mind Trauma On Tryna Solve The Times*

The Walten Files: Proving that something made in MS Paint can be unironically terrifying.

It scares me how easily matpat can segway from murders to google ads.

I feel like the Walten Files accomplishes what FnaF: Sister Location didn't-a more human oriented story involving family, with animatronics helping as set pieces to tell it.

[frankiearciaga]

Remember, walten did say he did drew most of the art through his phone, which gives me props to him.

[aurum]

"FELIX. PICK UP THE PHONE. *_*NOW*_* "

Felix: hehe car go brrr

Since there's been another upload from Martin, I'm gonna try answer some questions for anyone who wants to know.
1) What happened to Jack?
Jack found out what Felix had done and in a drunken panic, Felix killed Jack. He put Jack inside of Bon and left it at that.
2) What happened to Rosemary?
Rosemary became depressed after her children's and her husband's deaths. Felix was the only person she felt she could talk to after Linda moved away, and so when she finally pieced it all together, she went to find Jack. Jack, inside of Bon, lured her backstage, dismembered her and stuffed her inside of Sha.
3) What happened to Felix?
As far as I know, nothing. He isn't confirmed to be dead and is listed as an acting member of the Bon's Burgers franchise.
4) What's the deal with Susan?
Susan says she's alive, because at one point she was. When she was stuffed into Banny, she was still alive. The reason that she say's she starving, and the reason for the rabbit is starving section is that she starved to death inside of the suit.

I'm sorry if I got anything wrong, please feel free to correct me. I'll happily answer any questions. <3

[thePunishment]

It's completely possible that Jack, knowing he can't get out of Bon is actively searching for & stuffing his family members in an effort to put the broken family back together

Shoutouts to the guy voicing Felix in that car crash scene, it seemed so realistic.

[fireironthesecond]

Fun fact:
Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza is canon to the Walton universe and yes that includes all the animatronics we know and love. The only difference is that in this universe nothing went wrong there, no Purple Guy, no bite of 87, nothing.

So it appears that regardless of which animatronic themed restaurant becomes a melting pot of vengeful spirits one of them always will. It’s an absolute point in time if you will.

[M-a-dd-ss]

The Walten Files is the weirdest drunk driving PSA ive ever had the fortune of watching

[parkrfish]

maybe “feeding” the animatronics at night is as literal as we think, just not the type of food we’d expect. you said yourself at 6:20 that chris sent bryan to the facility, and his inevitable death - perhaps this was always the plan? maybe he, or his remains, was eaten. playing into this theory could also explain susans story, following the pre established theory that she is the bunny that is said to be starving in the first episode (which explains how she was still “alive” in the suit, she somehow survived the attack but eventually starved to death despite being fed by the shadow man) this would mean that the food she is being offered is human remains, maybe she denied this and given no other options starved to death.
