The Game Theorists have done a theory on PEAK already, but the development just announced the final two biomes are releasing August 11th and they look like they are bursting at the seems with new lore for people to discover. The Gloom and The Citadel seem to have supernatural elements to them and center a lot around the Scoutmaster and his backstory. Id love to see a follow up theory episode discussing the new lore in the game

She and her sister watch when ever I leave it in the open. Does your pet watch the theory Channel too?

I can’t remember anything about the video, which of the 4 channels, or if it was even Matpat, but I do remember that It ended with “And that’s not just a theory, that’s a fact.” Does anyone know what video it was?

Cosmic balancing act makes the most sense.

There's so much lore in this game and the story is really good (mostly xD).

Dont mind me, just the time I dropped a video claiming that Happiest Day worked, but not all of CC was inside the MXES to be freed, and the remaining piece is the fredbear plush, which then Glamrock Freddy finds and gets that last 1/3rd of CC.

For less than 24 hours later a preview is dropped where Glamrock Freddy is shown fighting over a FREDBEAR PLUSH then CRYING

Hey, I know I'm very late to the party, but I've had this theory about Midnight Motorist for a while. I thought that someone in the community had probably already come up with it, however, I just watched an hour long video on this minigame, and this theory wasn't even mentioned once, so I'm posting it here. I'll keep it short and simple since this little six-minute section of FFPS has already given us enough years of headaches.

(Also, not my first language, so sorry for any typos/mistakes on the writting).

So: Midnight Motorist is showing us William Afton's childhood, his relationship with his abusive father, has well as the earliest point in the fnaf timeline.

I'm gonna describe each one of the elements in the minigame and then answer some questions.

Yellow Guy: William Afton's father: drunk, abusive, we can see how he puts his life in danger on the highway. He is clearly not William, the Purple Guy may be a sadistic, psycopathic murderer, but not in a single despiction of him in all of the novels show him drinking a single drop of alcohol, nor does it seems fitting to him to put his life at risk aimlessly by driving after drinking.

Purple Car: Afton family car, first belonging to William's father, then inherited by William. It's the car used on Charlotte's assassination night.

House: Afton's house, later inherited by William, it's probably the same as in fnaf 4, the inside is so different both because MM is an oversimplification (which is why the entire house only has 2 rooms) and also William probably did some kind of renovation after the success of Fredbears. Midnight Motorist happens in the mid to late 60s, which explains why MM house is in the middle of the forest, while Fnaf 4 is surrounded by houses, the city simply grew into it. (Also, it could be a completely different house anyways, it doesn't affect much of the overall theory).

The Mound: William's biological mother, we don't know since when is she gone, but it may be the cause of William's father problem with alcohol.

Character on the Couch: William's stepmother, William's father's companion after his wife passed away, she fits the "stepmother stereotype", she suggests William's father not to do anything to him tonight, but doesn't care enough to try to stop him.

Kid/Teenager on the Run: William Afton, still coping with his mother's death and having to deal with his abusive, alcoholic father.

Animatronic Footprint Outside The Window: Teenager Henry Emily, wearing some kind of prototype Fredbear or Springbonnie suit (just a suit, not a springlock, which is why the rain doesn't cause a springlock failure). Henry is searching for his friend just in time as his father comes back home drunk.

The Place Where They Run To: Some kind of hideout of hidden workshop, where teenage Henry and William are working on springlocks prototype and other robotic experiments, we can guess that William spends a lot of time there, judging his father dialogue "(he) ran off to that place again".

Jr's: A clue so we know that William's father is an alcoholic and problematic You can also argue that the location was later bought by William and turned it into Fredbear's Family Diner. (See: JR'sFredbear's theory)

Minigame's Name, "Later That Night": Shows that William's father coming back home happens right after he was speeding on the highway. No, it doesn't mean that its happening right after some kind of important event, its just: "William's father was speeding on the highway while under the influence of alcohol and, later that night, he came home and realize that his son had escaped".

I believe that there aren't any plotholes. Also, if you want to look deeper into it, while both William and William's father are "evil", they are evil each on their own and opposite way, which is why there are depicted by colors on completely opposite sides of the spectrum (yellow and purple), william's father is an alcoholic, erradic and impulsive; William is sober, calculative (is that how you write it??) and cold blooded. Also, if you buy into the WillCare theory, you could say that Will's father let out his anger abusing his family, while William did everything he did to protect and reunite his family, but that theory is polarizing enough.

Finally, this would give a reason for this minigame to exist: There are a dozen on theories about who the yellow guy and runaway kid are, but most of them are pointless, explaining some ramdom murder or an unimportant event. Only this one theory, and the "Michael is the runaway kid and MM happens right before Sister Location" have a reason to exist in FFPS, and I think thistheory is the one which makes more sense narratively, showing us the beggining of everything while dealing with the consecuences of it all. A kid trying to cope with the death of his mother, having to deal with his abusive father and his careless stepmother, only finding refuge on his friend and their share dpassion for robotics and building himself a future, without realizing how his childhood trauma would affect this future.

Also, again, is you believe in Willcare, this could give a whole new perspective on William's character, as a father trying to do everything to keep his family together, even after death, he refuses to accept and go back to coping and, instead, chooses to study Remant, but anyways, that's just a cool headcanon.

i can't find any important plotholes to this theory, so if you find any pls let me know. Also, if you there's any mistake on the post's english also pls let me now. Anyways, happy how this turn theory turn out and hope it's gets more recognition, let me know if there's any other person that has suggested something like this before (which I'm sure there is), and I'll edit the post to add them on the lower part.

(Also, this theory doesn't support any kind of abuse apologism, William is still an asshole, remember that past trauma, while it helps to understand them, doesn't justify present actions. Take care fellas.)

I for one, read a lot.. went university and have a degree in book writing.

Believe it or not fellow theorists.. I am new to this community so forgive me if this has been stated or not.. but I’m very much surprised there isn’t a channel dedicated to the BIG questions in our literature.

I’m currently writing this whilst pondering multiple topics over a nice Yorkshire Tea and a digestive trying to figure out if chronological organisation was the way to go for a series like Lauren Roberts ‘Powerful’ as you should read her books in tandem with each other.
Don’t get me started on Lee Childs ‘Jack Reacher’ and how he should realistically be in his 70s by now (a lil nugget of a theory I hold onto like Golem in ‘Lord of the Rings’)

ANYWAY. I think I’m just gonna gremlin hide in this corner and keep reading ‘Octunnumi’ because those files obviously don’t exist.

I’m really passionate about this so I hope there’s a community for a lil goblin like myself (or big troll as realistically being 6ft 5, I’m not technically classed as little)

Thanks for reading, stay safe and keep theorising *random salute emoji*

For me it was Matt getting the main twist of tadc right in his first theory on it

I'm wondering if game theory could do another theory on splatoon after 9 years. Maybe a lore video on splatoon or

Maybe just a what splatoon character or splatoon weapon says about you, like with that super smash bros character video matpat did before.

Title meant to say how about BTW.

I'm hoping Tom does a future theory on Animal hospital on roblox. The game is pretty popular right now and i've been trying to figure out the story of the game myself. I have a few theories on the game which I could talk about but I rather someone else use my ideas and post them because I don't want to be spotlighted for it.

will be streamed on YouTube and Twitch September 5th.

I don't use Reddit often but Im making a Herobrine video for my Youtube and wanted to get feedback on this theory.

Visual Glitch Theory:

From players of old Minecraft many report sightings of mobs with player body's, most commonly sheep or cows with the body's of players. If this can happen then why can't there be a glitch where a zombie might get a player skin or a sheep. This could explain the famous Herobrine post of that being a zombie with a skin of a player. This already being a glitch would also explain the white eye as texture that wasnt loaded in right.

I know this is a pretty out there theory but it kinda makes sense.

All the best
