Game Theory: FNAF, The ULTIMATE Timeline

Theorists, today is the day! Today we begin unveiling the FNAF timeline that we’ve been working so hard to get done! This is only the first part of what will be multiple episodes but we’ve worked so hard and feel REALLY good about what we’ve got. So today we’re going WAY back before anything we know about the FNAF games. So get yourselves ready for this, because there are some things in here that will change EVERYTHING!

I love that I've spent nearly a decade listening and learning the lore to a game series that was legitimately too scary for me to ever play

[TTYLIG]

The fact that Mat cited his sources for this video like an MLA college essay shows the dedication him n the team have, absolutely wild

[laurencorrigan]

As a historian, I love how different this video is from your normal ones. I like how you focused on the story and didn’t go the route of “here’s a fact, here’s why it’s important”. This video was awesome and worth the wait just for your script writing and story telling abilities. All of it could have been wrong and I’d still have enjoyed the video

[feanaro]

I've never been brave enough to play the games, but the lore of FNAF has always really interested me, so these timeline videos feel like a great way to ease into it.

[iulic]

I applaud Game Theorists for having the patience and the determination of making a timeline for such a complicated lore series.

[suctioncupman]

I like how this story gives more personality to William, and shows how he wasn’t always a heartless killer and that he actually cared

[King_Yohan]

I love how MatPat and Markiplier just carried the fnaf fandom on their shoulders. We wouldn’t have FNAF without Mark and we wouldn’t have such a huge interest in this lore without Mat. I applaud you MatPat for going on with this for so many years

[RoyalMudcrab]

Thank you, Matpat. For all these years.

[brainstorm]

To start the timeline not from the 80s or 70s but from 30s is a very interesting step. As someone who haven't read the new books, I have no clue what' going on. But glad to see Matthew covering everything for us.

[WrightByrd]

Congratulations MatPat for being in the FNAF movie!! 🥳🥳🎉🎉😊

[uwuskettit]

It's so wild being here since the first theory. Seeing all this being compiled by thee matpat is so exciting. Growing up with this game was insane

[endlessmyth]

Chica's voiceline "I was the first, I have seen everything." Really lines up. It was her pizza world, she might have been Henry's first robot created.

[hopelessromanticpify]

That was...quite compelling, giving Afton motive and character more than anything else has so far

[joshcisneros]

so proud of you for making it into the movie brother. seeing you grow all these years and make it on the big sceeen filled my heart with so much joy!

[Zeldur]

I LOVE the idea of having a little blip come up with the citation. I hope this lingers on after the FNAF timeline because everyone knows, it will always come back

[BiRios]

As someone who subscribed when FNAF *started*, has used the videos as listening fodder for work, and genuinely find all the rambling almost soothing, I was excited to see this!!
Applause for the amount of dedication into this!

[SMILEYMS]

Gotta give Mat a BIG star on this whole wide fnaf story perspective on William Afton's life being genius and kind in the beginning to a psychopathic deranged mascot killer due to his hatred and rivalry against Henry.

[FullMetal_Jax]

I loved how Spring Bonnie was essentially William's fursona. He had a fursuit and everything

[puncheanman]

Props to MatPat for making FNAF theories for 8 years in preparation for this video

[KmartNotWalmart]

I’ve been watching these theories for years and if this is truly it, then it’s been one wild ride
Congrats MatPat and Team Theorist
