this is totally not game theory script

[00:00:37]

Hello, Internet, welcome to Game Theory,where today's episode is perhaps

[00:00:42]

the single most important that we've doneon the final floor in a long, long time.

[00:00:48]

Today, my friends, our goalis to solve Golden Freddy.

[00:00:52]

That's right.

[00:00:52]

For now, Fred, I am justified in usingmy favorite golden boy in the thumbnail

[00:00:55]

today because thisepisode is all about him.

[00:00:58]

It's them, which I got to be honest,is probably a good thing because I've run

[00:01:02]

out of ways to make Old Yeller overhere look interesting in a thumbnail.

[00:01:05]

I mean, the dude's only got like two

[00:01:07]

decent quality images in the entiresix year history of this franchise.

[00:01:11]

Say what you will aboutmilking this franchise.

[00:01:13]

Right?We've milked that image, right.

[00:01:15]

If only every other characterin this franchise was clickable.

[00:01:18]

But seriously, with the recent releaseof Buddy Call

[00:01:21]

the Fifth Fassbach Fright Book,I think we have enough information now

[00:01:25]

to finally put together a quasi definitiveanswer on who is in that iconic golden

[00:01:30]

suit, which, got to be honest, is like thebiggest mystery to me in this franchise.

[00:01:34]

At this point.

[00:01:35]

Solving this one is like obtainingthe first of three massive holy grails

[00:01:39]

when it comes to the lureof this franchise.

[00:01:41]

But in order to do it,

[00:01:42]

we're going to have to look at the games,the books and the spin offs.

[00:01:45]

And by the end,

[00:01:46]

we'll have ourselves an answer that notonly fits with the established lore

[00:01:49]

of both game and book,but also an answer that satisfies pretty

[00:01:53]

much everything about this characterand answer that irons out all the wrinkles

[00:01:57]

and frustrations that I've had whenconcocting past theories about this guy.

[00:02:01]

Oh, and it also just takes a little bitof the scabbed overwound of a past theory,

[00:02:06]

OpenNet just enough that itmight get infected.

[00:02:08]

So are you ready to have your mind blown?Are you ready to finally have the answer

[00:02:12]

to this mystery that has beensix years in the making?

[00:02:16]

Well, then let's beginwith the stitch rave.

[00:02:19]

For those of you who've missed it,the stitchery story is happening in small

[00:02:22]

chunks at the end of eachFassbach Fright book.

[00:02:24]

It's kind of like an MCU post creditsteaser minus the color shifting Thanos.

[00:02:28]

It's about an animatronic suit piecedtogether from the haunted spare parts

[00:02:32]

of various toys and robots given lifethrough the power of human agony.

[00:02:36]

Now that it's alive,the creature is wandering the city,

[00:02:39]

collecting more haunted toys and killingpeople with its zappy hands,

[00:02:42]

sucking their bodies dry and makingthem cry oily black tears.

[00:02:47]

And up to this point, that's prettymuch all we do about this monstrosity.

[00:02:49]

Lead me to conclude that the reason we'remeeting this thing is to prove

[00:02:52]

the existence of remnant and how itworks via negative human emotions.

[00:02:56]

Maybe set him up as the new villainfor that upcoming game security breach.

[00:02:59]

Or at the very least,that's what I thought.

[00:03:02]

Oh, no, dear theorist's the stitchery this

[00:03:05]

far more important than wecould have ever imagined.

[00:03:07]

In the epilogue of book number four,Step Closer, we meet Andrew and Jake,

[00:03:12]

the two souls who find themselvestrapped inside the stitchery.

[00:03:16]

And the conversation that they have whenthey first meet starts to give us some

[00:03:19]

of the lower drops that we have beenwaiting years to hear quote from the book.

[00:03:23]

Now, Jake was inside a metal thing.

[00:03:25]

He didn't know enough about anything

[00:03:26]

to understand what it was,but he did know that he wasn't alone.

[00:03:29]

He was sharing this strange place.Oh, hi.

[00:03:32]

Jake said, I'm Jake.Who are you?

[00:03:34]

I'm Andrew.The child's voice was rough.

[00:03:36]

He sounded a little like a boy Jake usedto know in school,

[00:03:39]

a boy who was always talking back to theteacher and getting himself in trouble.

[00:03:42]

Jake thought Andrew sounded angry,very angry, end quote.

[00:03:46]

We're told that even though both theirsouls are infused into the same

[00:03:49]

endoskeleton, Jake is the only oneable to move the stitch wreathes body.

[00:03:53]

He's also the only one capableof seeing the outside world.

[00:03:56]

Andrew is blind to it all.

[00:03:59]

It's kind of like thosetwo man horse costumes.

[00:04:01]

You never want to windup being the button.

[00:04:02]

Those things, especiallyon Chappellet days.

[00:04:04]

It's no wonder Andrew so mad.

[00:04:06]

I'd be, too, if I was forced to spend aneternity looking at someone else's soul.

[00:04:09]

But however, it's when they start talking

[00:04:11]

about their former lives that thingsstart to get really interesting.

[00:04:14]

Quote again, my memoriesare kind of fuzzy.

[00:04:17]

Jake said fuzzy.Yeah, so are mine.

[00:04:19]

Andrew responded.

[00:04:20]

But I do remember wanting to getback at someone who hurt me.

[00:04:23]

I think I attached myself to him.

[00:04:25]

I got into his soul, made sure he couldn'tmove on when he should have died.

[00:04:28]

I remember I wanted him to sufferthe way he made me suffer.

[00:04:32]

I remember they tried to kill him,

[00:04:33]

but I wasn't going to lethim go until I was ready.

[00:04:35]

With a story like that,you could almost say that Andrew is

[00:04:37]

a spirit wanting revenge,a literal, vengeful spirit.

[00:04:41]

Perhaps now loyal Fanaroff theoristshave an idea of where this is all going.

[00:04:45]

Right back when Ultimate Customer firstcame out, we theorized that the entire

[00:04:49]

game was William Taft,entrapped in a fiery Xscape,

[00:04:53]

a constant cycle of torture and tormentat the hands of his past victims.

[00:04:57]

Or should I say one victim in particular,the spirit of Golden Freddy.

[00:05:01]

Sure, he was called by many names,

[00:05:03]

the one you should not have killed,the vengeful spirit.

[00:05:05]

But in the end, by doing the impossible

[00:05:08]

of that game and beating 1020 mode,it's revealed that Golden Freddy lingers

[00:05:12]

on, twitching with rage,refusing to move on into his afterlife.

[00:05:16]

And here Andrew is pretty muchconfirming exactly that sound.

[00:05:20]

The party horns the children celebrating.

[00:05:22]

It looks like we got one rightor should I say mostly right.

[00:05:26]

What's interesting about this wholeJake Andrew conversation from the book is

[00:05:29]

that back with ultimate custom night,we assumed that William Aften was dead

[00:05:33]

and that this was justhis afterlife and purger.

[00:05:35]

Or or each double hockeysticks or whatever.

[00:05:38]

He died in Henry's fire,the one that was set at the end of NAFT

[00:05:40]

six, the one meant to bringthe whole series to a close.

[00:05:44]

I mean, how could he not be dead?

[00:05:46]

Henry even had that awesome final linefor him, although for one of you,

[00:05:51]

the darkest of hell hasopened to swallow you whole.

[00:05:54]

So don't keep the devil waiting.

[00:05:56]

Frank, you don't just surviveone liners like that.

[00:05:59]

And yet here Andrew says that he was

[00:06:01]

actively keeping his killer aliveagainst everyone's attempts on his life.

[00:06:08]

So does that mean that afternoon?Still.

[00:06:10]

No, no, no.

[00:06:12]

I always come back.

[00:06:15]

He attack he Protech he always come back.

[00:06:17]

But just because William may have beenkept alive in the book law doesn't

[00:06:21]

necessarily mean that he wasleft alive in the game law to.

[00:06:24]

Well, it shouldn't, but I think it does.

[00:06:27]

Fast forward to this month and our newestbook, Bunny, called what was originally

[00:06:31]

supposed to be the fifth and finalinstallment in the Fast Bear Fright

[00:06:35]

series, a literal five books at Freddy'suntil, of course, it got extended.

[00:06:39]

Now we have ourselves the bonussixth and seventh night books.

[00:06:42]

And while the first two stories in thisnew book are interesting and certainly

[00:06:45]

worth talking about on a different day,it's the third one, the man in room 12 18

[00:06:50]

that ties into ourGolden Freddy mystery today.

[00:06:53]

Stop me if you've heard this one before.

[00:06:54]

It's about a mysterious man in a hospital

[00:06:56]

burned well beyond the point of death,and yet somehow he remains alive.

[00:07:01]

Quote from the book, Man had no face.

[00:07:04]

A hole in his skull indicatedwhere his nose used to be.

[00:07:07]

Dark, cavernous pits,lacking eyes looked at nothing.

[00:07:10]

A toothless mouth gapedwithout lips to protect it.

[00:07:13]

We'd be remiss if we didn'twarn you, the nurse said.

[00:07:15]

We know what he what that is evil.

[00:07:19]

Father Blythe evil.

[00:07:20]

In fact, the hospital staff is so

[00:07:22]

convinced that he's the embodiment of evilthat they tried to kill him multiple times

[00:07:27]

via injections,via smothering, via séances.

[00:07:30]

But nothing will do it.

[00:07:31]

He cannot be killed, but notfor the reasons that you would expect.

[00:07:35]

It's not an iron will to live or

[00:07:37]

the remnant that's flowing throughhis veins that's keeping him alive.

[00:07:40]

It's a ghost.Each attempt on the patient's life is

[00:07:43]

thwarted by the ghost of a boy with curlyblack hair wearing an alligator mass.

[00:07:48]

In fact, the two seem to beintertwined with each other.

[00:07:50]

The story informs us about the patient's

[00:07:53]

brain patterns, and they well,they're a bit unusual.

[00:07:55]

Quote, According to the hospital's sleep

[00:07:57]

expert, that particular REM patternindicates nightmares, horrific nightmares.

[00:08:02]

See there and there.

[00:08:03]

The nurse pointed at onepart of the brain scan.

[00:08:05]

Two signals means two livingthings, two entities.

[00:08:09]

They're both vying for control

[00:08:11]

of the brain, but they'reat odds with each other.

[00:08:13]

We think they're tormenting each other.

[00:08:15]

Sounds a bit like Andrew, right?

[00:08:17]

Andrew attached himself to the manwho killed him and refuses to let him die

[00:08:21]

so he can torment him,which is the exact relationship between

[00:08:24]

the vengeful spiritand William Aften in the Games.

[00:08:27]

And if there was any doubt about who thismysterious man in the hospital is,

[00:08:30]

the patient wants to go to a father'sbeer distribution center.

[00:08:33]

And we're told that the stitchery mysteryis somehow tied to a mysterious fire

[00:08:36]

involving Freddy's and the former ownersof the business every which way to Sunday.

[00:08:41]

This is our William Aften.

[00:08:43]

Stand in for these books.

[00:08:44]

Andrew is our vengeful spirit.Stand in.

[00:08:46]

And it feels like the book is trying

[00:08:48]

to tell us that custom night wasn'tpurgatory or heck,

[00:08:50]

it was after living nightmare as he waslaying in a hospital bed recovering.

[00:08:56]

William Aften may still be alive,

[00:08:59]

or maybe he was alive and thenhe eventually explodes.

[00:09:02]

Yeah, the story ends with William'scarcass being wheeled out to the beer

[00:09:06]

distribution center and then itliterally blows up like a bomb.

[00:09:09]

It is just as gross and gory anddisgusting as you would expect it to be.

[00:09:13]

Maybe it's a good thing that thesebooks don't have pictures.

[00:09:15]

My personal guess is that this is whatreleases the angry spirit of Andrew

[00:09:19]

into lots of other toyslike Fetch and plus trap.

[00:09:22]

And it may also be how Grafton's soul gets

[00:09:24]

itself into a computer chip thateventually gives life to glitch trap.

[00:09:27]

OK, this has been a lot about aften and I

[00:09:30]

promise that this would be a megatheory about Golden Freddi.

[00:09:32]

So how does it all connect together?

[00:09:34]

Well, notice how I described Andrew's

[00:09:35]

ghost, a boy with curly blackhair and an alligator mask.

[00:09:39]

It's the same hair as the mysterious dead

[00:09:41]

body found inside Golden Freddy'ssuit back in fase birthrights.

[00:09:45]

Number three quote from that book,Downlow passed his arm.

[00:09:48]

Devon could see a body, a dead body,

[00:09:50]

but it wasn't exactly like he thoughthe'd find this one had curly black hair.

[00:09:55]

The lure of the series doesn't tend

[00:09:56]

to give us a lot, but one thing ittends to keep relatively consistent.
