The hostility of the animatronics appears to result from the possession by the vengeful souls of children who were killed at the restaurant. [52] The player is guided by the previous night guard, known as Phone Guy, who assists them in their defense against the animatronics. [52] Mike is fired from his job after the seventh night for "tampering with the animatronics, body odor and general unprofessionalism".In The Twisted Ones, When they return to the ruins of Freddy Fazbear's, Charlie and Jessica find Afton's rotting corpse inside of the Spring Bonnie costume, stuffed inside of a small closet by the animatronics after dragging him off a year ago. Disgusted and convinced he was dead, they leave. Later, the wolf animatronic and Twisted Freddy surrounded Charlie, John, Jessica, and Clay Burke. Charlie asked the animatronics "What do you want from me?", and William, undead and still inside the rabbit costume, replies that he was the one who brought them there. This of course, was no surprise, as the original William died in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator.

Who is inside of FNAF’s Springtrap?

Also, Springtrap's appearance is extremely less damaged than his appearance from the core series. This is likely done to keep the game kid friendly, as his heavily damaged appearance could scare the younger audiences. After a massively successful Freddy's closed down, William makes his own restaurant called Circus Baby's Pizza World with a new set of animatronics called the Funtime Animatronics. One in particular, Circus Baby, was seemingly made as a gift for his daughter, Elizabeth. Contrary to what is stated, however, William designed these robots not with the intent of entertainment, but to capture and kill children to obtain Remnant, in which he discovered after knowing that his victims haunted the animatronics at Freddy's. Afton wanted to discover the secrets of Remnant to become immortal. Elizabeth was warned not to go anywhere near them. Before opening day, Afton hosted a private party at his establishment as a test. However, Elizabeth ended up getting too close to Circus Baby due to Afton's negligence, which resulted in her death and cancellation of the grand opening of the pizzeria. Gas leaks covered up her death, presumably being the same gas used in his fear experiments. The first new game to be released as a part of this initiative was One Night at Flumpty's 3 on October 31, 2021, for PC and mobile devices. [97] A version for consoles was planned but was quietly shelved following the creator Jonochrome being accused and later admitting to having a relationship with a then minor for 5 years. It is currently unknown if the collection will release.
