## FNAF 2 is in 1987
[Jeremey's Overtime Check](<FNAF 2 Night 6 Overtime check and ending Newspaper.png>) on Night 6 says it's currently 11-13-87.
That's [Friday the 13th](<November 1987 Calendar.gif>) on the RL November '87 calendar.
So guards at Fazbear Entertainment start their week on Sunday, if Night 6 is Friday the 13th.
---[Timeline Step One](<Dec 2023 Timeline - Phase 1 - FNAF 2 in 1987.webp>)
## FNAF 1 is in 1992
[[FNAF 1 was open in 1992]]
---[Timeline Step Two](<Dec 2023 Timeline - Phase 2 - FNAF 1 in 1992.webp>)
## Freddy and Friends are 20 in 1992
In FNAF 1, Phone Guy says the robots have sung the same songs for [[FNAF 1 Night 1 Call|20 years]].
This means there were built in 1972.
He called FNAF 2 the [[FNAF 2 Night 1 Call|New and Improved]] Freddy's, where he and Fazbear Entertainment did things differently and better than an earlier Freddy's.
Another Freddy's existed before 1987.
Phone Guy also said the robots were from a [[FNAF 2 Night 2 Call|completely different building]], so it wasn't an earlier opening of FNAF 2.
There must have been an [[Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place|earlier Freddy's]] in 1972.
---[Timeline Step 3](<Dec 2023 Timeline - Phase 3 - Freddy Fazbears Pizza Place.webp>)
## Fredbear's opened in 1982, closed 1983
[[Fredbear's Family Diner]] was closed for years before 1987 according to [[FNAF 2 Night 5 Call|Phone Guy]].
But it must have been open in 1983 when its [[Fredbear and Friends|cartoon launched]].
Because it takes a year to make a cartoon, I estimate it's opening in 1982.
Henry had to buy a [[Special Delivery Faz Facts#Fredbear's was the first restaurant in the *franchise*|franchise license]] from William to use Bonnie's name at Fredbear's, so Freddy's brand already existed, dating Fredbear's after [[Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place]].
Fredbear's was the single open sister location The New and Improved Freddy's had when Phone Guy said the [[Multiple Springlock Failure Incident]] happened at [[FNAF 3 Night 6 Call|its sister location]].
So this earlier incident happened at Fredbear's, separate from [[The MCI]] and [[Save Them]] which happened at Freddy's.
---[Timeline Step 4](<Dec 2023 Timeline - Phase 4 - Fredbears.webp>)
## Fredbear's was reopened four times after that
See [[The Five Openings of Fredbear's]].
-Fredbear's became FNAF 1.
-William got Springtrapped in an altered version of FNAF 1.
-The building opening a 4th time, giving both Springtrap and the building layout makeovers.
-Phone Dude found the ruins of the 4th opening and made it Fazbear's Fright.
---[Timeline Step 5](<Dec 2023 Timeline - Phase 5 - Five openings of Fredbears.webp>)
# A Freddy's existed in 1983
The [[Faz Tokens]] in several games say Freddy's was [founded in 1983](<Images and Sounds/Faz Token Coin Ruin 1983.webp>).
It's the first Freddy's ==Fazbear Entertainment== built, but not the first to ever exist.
In the [[FNAF 3 Night 4 Call]] Phone Guy says the [[Multiple Springlock Failure Incident]] happened at the single sister location The New and Improved Freddy's had at the time.
Fredbear's was open in 1983, so it would be a sister location to whatever Freddy's existed then.
This suggests Phone Guy's FNAF 2 building was open in Summer 1983.
## The FNAF 2 building opened twice
The first FNAF 2 phone call references a summer job in ==November== in a place only open for two weeks, and claims to have Quirky New Architecture despite being a [vintage reopening](<FNAF 2 Grand Reopening Newspaper.png>).
While the other FNAF 2 calls reference current events, the Night 1 call is out of sync with time.
It was pre-recorded in Summer 1983.
See [[The Summer Paradox]].
Phone Guy also references Foxy and Pirate's Cove being converted into [[FNAF 2 Night 3 Call|Mangle and Kid's Cove]], even though we can see Kid's Cove existed in the single week before Jeremy's on the [Save Them map](<Save Them Body Zoom copy with Foxy Go Go.png>).
This conversion happened after an earlier opening of the building.
## FNAF 2 is the only place Foxy Go Go fits
The MCI must have happened at an earlier opening of FNAF 2: it's the only building with [[FNAF 2 Secret Room Location|a secret room directly east from Pirate's Cove]].
Yet while the MCI robots are Withered in 1987 after the passage of years, their heads appear normal and stage-worthy when [[The MCI]] actually happened. Bonnie [[The Summer Paradox#There's no 1987-exclusive lore in the Night 1 call|still had his face]].
The MCI happened years ago ==at the FNAF 2 building==.
Phone Guy's New and Improved Freddy's was open in Summer 1983, and the MCI happened there.
--- [Timeline Step 6](<Dec 2023 Timeline - Phase 6 - FNAF 2 open in Summer 1983.webp>)
# Sister Location is after FNAF 3
Sister Location mentions a fire twice: In [[The Immortal and the Restless]] cartoon and [[Sister Location Custom Night Cutscenes#Michael's Ending Cutscene|Michael's cutscene]] in Custom Night where [[Dark Springtrap]] emerges from the burned ruins of [FNAF 3](<It Burns - End of FNAF 3 Brightened Closup.png>).
Michael says his father William told him where CBEAR was, and that he put Elizabeth back together just like William asked him to.
**It must be after FNAF 3 for Michael to talk to post-Springtrap William.**
Michael also says he no longer knows where William is, and is going to find him.
**If William was still trapped in Fazbear's Fright, finding him should be easy.**
This scenario is only possible if William has left the FNAF 3 building after the game.
---[Timeline Step 7](<Dec 2023 Timeline - Phase 7 - Sister Location after FNAF 3.webp>)
## Pizzeria Simulator is the '72 Pizza Place
[[Pizzeria Simulator]] is "where it all started", the small square location where [[Take Cake to the Children]] happened.
Fazbear Entertainment owns it now, but only because they bought out William's Afton Robotics much earlier in the timeline, after Take Cake drove [[Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place]] into [bankruptcy](<552 Struggling Restaurant poster.png>).
The robots who escaped Sister Location are here in their [new forms](<Scott Games conversation with FNAF World.jpg>), this must be a sequel to SL.
[[Hand Unit|Tutorial Unit]] mentions certain creatures have been waiting for months to get into this place while it waited for a guard to arrive: some time has passed since Sister Location.
## Security Breach is built on top of '72
[[Security Breach]] is the 3rd opening of [[Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place]], which was partly renovated before being abandoned.
[[Glamrock Freddy]] remembers a 'she' taking him here, to where it all began.
Fazbear Entertainment loves to close places are a tragedy, laying low for about 10 years, then opening the same places again under different names.
[[Cassie]] found an even deeper location under the Pizza Place with previously unseen character costumes in [[Ruin]], so the rabbit hole may be even deeper.
Security Breach claims bears are now extinct, and magical VR is starting to become a commonplace thing. I can't pinpoint which year it is, but it seems far in the future.
---[Timeline Step 8](<Dec 2023 Timeline - Phase 8 - Reopenings of Pizza Place.webp>)
# FNAF 4 is after FNAF 1
FNAF 4 appears to be about the [[The Bite of '87]] victim, and this is correct.
But it contains references to several different places and times.
We see [Fat William](<Purple Guy Easter Egg 1.png>) before the massive weight loss that turned him into the [skeletal grandfather](<Save Them Purple Guy William.png>) from Save Them, in a reference to the [2-child event](<2 child poster.jpg>) on [[June 26th]]. 1983.
The [[Toy Animatronics]] only existed as such in 1987, and were scrapped after FNAF 2, yet they appear around the [Girl with the Toys in the Park](<Girl with Toy Animatronics - Charlie.png>) in a shrunken, yet intact state.
Scott highlighted this, asking [[The Second Megastream]] why [Tiny Toy Chica](<Second Megastream - Why is Tiny Toy Chica missing her beak teaser.jpg>) was missing her beak.
It seems these are the real Toys, one weird seemingly-impossible thing in a game full of them.
We also see [Broken Mangle](<Broken Mangle FNAF 4.png>) in the room of CC's sister, dating this ==after FNAF 2==.
Worse yet, FNAF 4 contains the garbled [[FNAF 1 Night 1 Call]] as an easter egg:
![[call3 - FNAF 1 Night 1.wav]]
This call claims the [[The Bite of '87]] victim is still alive, but he dies at the end of Night 6.
FNAF 4 must be after FNAF 1.
It might look real, but its actually a virtual construct of several different memories combined.
---[Timeline Step 9](<Dec 2023 Timeline - Phase 9 - FNAF 4 after FNAF 1.webp>)
## FNAF World is after FNAF 4
The Night 6 cutscene where the Bite Victim "dies" transitions directly into the [[FNAF World opening scene|opening scene]] of [[FNAF World]], a virtual realm.
No matter who we put in the party, our actual player character on the overworld map is always [[Freddy]], Michael Afton's avatar.
We left FNAF 4 as the Bite Victim, and continue to play him in FNAF World.
## Ultimate Custom Night is part of FNAF World
[[Bounce Pot]], [[Tangle]], [[Whiterabbit]]and [[Old Man Consequences]] all appear in UCN.
Old Man Consequences is unable to leave [[FNAF World]], so if we can visit him, we must also be in it.
UCN references all past games, so it must also be after them all on the timeline.
This means FNAF 4, FNAF World, and UCN are all virtual worlds connected together.
---[Timeline Step 10](<Dec 2023 Timeline - Phase 10 - FNAF World and Ultimate Custom Night.webp>)
# Midnight Motorist is far in the past in England
The [[Midnight Motorist]] minigame from [[Pizzeria Simulator]] appears to extend the story of [[Take Cake to the Children]], and on some level it does.
But it also tells a second story:
It happens in a country where people drive on the ==LEFT== side of the road and speak English!
[![[Midnight Motorist Driving Frame with arrows.png|300]]](<Midnight Motorist Driving Frame with arrows.png>)
It also uses [Imperial Units](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_units>) (like Miles Per Hour) that originated in England, who waited until [1965](<https://www.britannica.com/science/British-Imperial-System>) to adopt [The Metric System](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_system>).
That suggests MM happens **before 1965**!
The main character in MM is [The Yellow/Orange Man](<Yellow and Orange Man.png>) who has a house where a boy we never see is staying.
This boy doesn't like living there, and repeatedly leaves to go to JR's, where The Yellow/Orange Man isn't allowed in.
The Yellow/Orange Man finally locks him in his room, then roughly demands to be let in, only to find the Kid has broken his own window to escape.
The Y/O Man assumes The Kid will eventually return, but that isn't likely.
Somehow, this scene in England connects to the story of Freddy's back in the United State.
Some character has to leave this scene and cross the Ocean, and the Y/O Man already has a house and a family in England.
The Y/O Man has no reason to leave, while the Kid has every reason, and even takes a robot with him from the [footprint outside](<Footprint Outside MM Window.png>).
Englishman [[William Afton]] wasn't the Y/O Man... he was the **KID** who fled the house.
## The Pre-history of FNAF
I call the era before 1972 [[The Pre-History of FNAF]], and each game we learn more about it.
William left England as a kid, then resurfaced decades later as The **Grandfather** of [[The Afton Family]] when he built Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza Place in 1972.
This leaves half a century unaccounted for.
At some point Freddy and Fredbear were involved in an Early Disney-like project according to the posters found in Security Breach.
The very old costumes Cassie discovered sealed in with [[The Mimic]] speak of whole new locations and characters never seen before.
William has been very busy every since he came to the States.
So William's story began long ago in England, at [[JR's]].
