With all of my pure heart I can confidently say that The Dark Ages was the best one out of these

Although SOTM is definitelly in Top 3 in my humble opinion

Honestly, it's complicated

I would really love to, since the books make a lot of things fall nicely together

But, I'm slowly inclining to no :(

Personally, around 2010

Just a headcanon, since it's definitelly somewhere between 1993 (FNaF1) and 2023 (FnaF3), and after Afton died (sometime in the 90's)

Garvey.

If you know, you know

Exactly @MrPotatoDude01

You said it perfectly.

Yeah, that's the same suit

He has someone else spread them. Literally Vanny's whole existence is just spreading the Glitchtrap virus. And creating Burntrap. That's all.

If it were just a fun spin-off, Scott would not work on the game with Mega Cat Studios for possibly years, and the game would not be on Steam, or have several trailers.

But I still don't see the point of not including it with others in there. With every other game it was different, they were considered canon, even Special Delivery.

Why did it change now? Because it's an anniverasry game? Because it's a book adaptation?

I still don't see why should it be separate, except bias against books being in the same timeline as games. So far, what was revealed of the game, doesn't contradict previously established lore, on the other hand, everything suggests it's part of the main games.

Every other game and book was also put into their respective sections before they released. In some cases, even before official logos, keyarts and covers were revealed.

There is always a clear difference between fun spin-off and a canon game.

Spin-offs as Freddy in Space series and Security Breach: Fury's Rage are very, VERY different and clearly made just for fun. They do not try to tie into the canon games.

Into the Pit not only has a clear storyline connected with already established places, characters and events, with many references to canon games which weren't mentioned in the original story. Examples: poster of Toy Bonnie (Toys appeared only in games so far, none of the novels), Helpy and members of Trash and the Gang in a dumpster (also didn't appear in novels), and even poster of Fredbear from Security Breach. I could go on and on. The description literally states it will help us to solve secrets spanning decades. Why would this be stated if the game was non-canon. If it were non-canon, then the answers to those secrets would dubious at best, and would be on the same level as The Silver Eyes trilogy.

Every official FNaF game that was released on all platforms, was featured on Steam, and got some promotional campaign (trailers, and this time even ARG), was (and still is) canon.

There is nothing suggesting that this game isn't canon, except bias against books being part of the game-timeline and this game being book adaptation.

Yeah, it's a scrapped draft of OG The Freddy Files. It was confirmed to be real by Entom.

Sadly the whole situation around it is such a mess.

And I would like to say, don't use any info from it as 100% canon or confirmation for theories or whatever. So much has changed since then, and many of the current story elements were changed. Yeah, some things were kept (like William not caring for his kids, and Bite Victim's being "shattered") and some were reused in Fazbear Frights (Emmett Tucker was reused as major character in "Find Player Two!" story, Dr. Talbert in epilogues, although heavily changed, and Michael's nickname after scooping was repurposed as a completely new character, the Stitchwraith). You can use it to look into how Scott writes the story and to better understand our current story.

Basically short version, if you want to read it, then the only thing you can use in your theories are Afton's characterization in his monologue, and locations of each establishment. Everything else was, or could be, changed.

He's perfect
