MatPat presents his definitive Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) theory, covering the timeline of the franchise and the mystery surrounding the Purple Guy. He explains that the first game's events take place at Fredbear's Family Diner, where the Purple Guy's first victim was killed. The killer's signature is dressing in an animatronic costume and luring children to the back of the pizzeria to kill them.
MatPat also discusses the origin of the Shadow Bonnie and Shadow Freddy suits, which are tied to the ghosts of two employees who died in the spring suits. He reveals that the Puppet is responsible for hiding the children's bodies in the animatronic suits, not the killer.
The video also covers the events of the first missing children incident, which led to the closure of the first Fazbear location. The grand reopening of the new Fazbear Pizza, as seen in Five Nights 2, is also discussed, including the new toy animatronics and the facial-recognition software.
The video ends with a cliffhanger, setting up the next part of the theory, which will cover the Purple Guy's identity, The Bite of '87, and how FNAF 1 and 3 fit into the timeline.
