The text is a detailed narrative of the Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) franchise, focusing on the story and timeline of its creation. The narrative begins by setting the stage, describing a roadside attraction called "Fredbear's Singing Show" in the 1930s. This show, featuring a dancing bear, brought joy to travelers during the Great Depression. A young boy named William Afton, inspired by this show, dreamed of recreating it.
William's dream was realized when he created a simple mascot suit for a bear character named Fredbear. He also created a rabbit character named Bonnie. These characters performed on stage to small but enthusiastic crowds. However, William's success was short-lived as another restaurant, Chica's Party World, started using robotic characters, leading to a decline in William's business.
In 1979, William and Henry Emily, the creator of the robots, merged their two franchises into one, creating Fredbear's Family Diner. The restaurant featured a mix of humans and performing suits, as well as on-stage animatronics. The franchise eventually spawned its own cartoon show, Fred Bear and Friends.
However, William's original character, the golden Bonnie, was overlooked for inclusion in the cartoon show. Despite the success of the franchise, William was unhappy as he felt his original character was not given the credit it deserved.
William's interest in robotics led him to experiment with more advanced animatronics. He envisioned a future where these animatronics could roam freely within the restaurant, interacting with kids. However, this ambition led to his downfall.
The narrative ends with a discussion of the main characters and their design, suggesting a rivalry between William and Henry, and the possibility of a third party running a rival franchise. The narrative also raises questions about the character Encyclopedia and her role in the story.
