Preface
Since the survival magazine is a very important plot detail in the world of games, but making a full-fledged article on it will not work because of a small volume, I decided to make an addition to the article on Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria Simulator. In addition, the magazine is closely related to this game.
The history of the creation
In parallel with the development of FFPS, Scott worked on one interesting book, which at one time warmed up interest in the upcoming game. On November 27, 2017, information about the new product in the FNAF universe – Survival LogBook is published on the website of Amazon.
The description presented this book as a guide for guards Fazbear Entertainment, inside which contains tests, lists and hints to perform work.
In addition to the description of the book, one page from the magazine was available, which showed a broken chika from FNAF 1, which completely absent beak and eyes, and the endoskeleton was nervous in many places. Many immediately suggested that this was a hint of FNAF 6. Yes, and judging by the lighting, we had to meet this chik in the room of the Utilhyr. But, as we know, there was no such character in the game. Perhaps this is just a non -reckless material. No one still can say this with confidence.
And on December 26, 2017, the magazine goes on sale.
Content
In fact, Survival LogBook turned out to be a book with tasks for children. There are exercises on the type of “Dorce yourself for animatronics”, “Write what your favorite song” and so on. But such a fun for a child, the magazine seems only at first glance.
To begin with, initially this magazine was called not Survival Logbook, but Security Logbook. That is, specially intended for pizzeria guards. As you can understand on the first page where the reader is offered to enter his name, this magazine used to belong to a man.
Following is the annotation from Fazbear Entertainment, from which it is learned that this logbook is provided to every new employee of the company, so that they feel confident and be prepared for everything. Further, the organization recommends that after each shift, engaged in self -testing, performing tasks and tests inside the book, as well as record everything that happened during the night.
The entire logbook is divided into five parts, each of which is one night. At the end of each section, the employee will be offered to fill out the event diary and evaluate the shift criteria from 1 to 10. And on the pages every now and then it will be possible to see notes with a red handle. These are notes of the previous owner of the magazine – T -shirt.
Night 1
On the first night, Fazbear Entertainment proposes to list the reasons for which Freddy should work in the pizzeria. Here Mike notes that the company feeds employees for free pizza. Further, the book gives a small test for Knowledge FNAF 1: gameplay and ENT. Well, it ends all by side tasks.
Night 2
On the second night, the company proposes to list the reasons why this work is vital. And then draw prizes that would like to see the most. In the corner of the page, Michael painted a man with money on water skiing, and next to the inscriptions: free trip, cash, boat, water skiing.
Further, Logbuk proposes to list your favorite characters from films of books or television series. Mike in the column “Teleworks” enters Clara from “Immortal and restless”, because an employee, like a girl, the only one who notices the crazy madness.
In the column, where the magazine offers to enter his favorite selection of songs, the previous owner drew the bongs and signed: “It’s just Bongs”. Mike shows his art on a page where you need to draw recent dreams. The guard painted the nightmare Fredber from FNAF 4.
Night 3
On the third night, Fazbear Entertainment offers to indicate a list of bad habits. Here we find out that Mike is constantly chewing chewing gum. Similarly on the first night, the magazine offers to go through a test. But now for knowledge how to handle spring costumes. It’s funny that at the end a note is glued so that the employee does not tell anyone about this survey or costumes on spring clamps.
The last task that night, the logbook gives a new Fazbear Entertainment logo. The former owner of the book jokingly draws the Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza logo, where Freddy’s head is completely covered with blood spots.
Night 4
At the very beginning, the magazine proposes to list the mistakes of previous guards that the current employee would not commit. Following-write just in case a posthumous letter, if suddenly the guard still dies during the shift.
And again, the survey, this time checking the guards of the guard to survive during the night shift. Further, the logbook offers to come up with a story about how the guard decided to go on a day shift. The workpiece of the entry of the story mentions the fact that animatronics followed the guard directly into the house.
Night 5
Here’s the last night. Fazbear Entertainment proposes to write reasons that will force the employee to return next week. And then draw a basket with a gift inside, which the guard would like to get. Then Mike painted two baskets: one with money, the other with pieces of oil, and noticed that he would prefer the first, not the second.
One of the last tasks www.luckicasino.org/ Logbuk gives to come up with alternative versions of the proposed common situations. Among them: a child bitten by animatronics, a liquid oozes from animatronics, the child disappears in a pizzeria and mold on pizza. By the first situation, Mike comes up with such an interesting explanation:
At the end of the magazine, Fazbear Entertainment thanks the employee that he became part of the company, and is waiting for him next week. And on the very last page, the already familiar Chika is flaunting.
The mysterious spirit
This ends Survival Logbook, but its secrets do not end. Starting from the 20th page, a certain essence begins to communicate with the owner of the magazine, which writes translucent text.
First, find out who this ghost is. Here and there you can notice references to this. For example, the repeating phrase "this is" (English. It’s me) in the game "Looking for words". And as we know, this cult phrase belongs to only one character – golden Freddy.
So, Fredber’s spirit throughout the book tries to give a hint to the reader in his name. On some pages, in addition to appeals to the T -shirt, there is a phrase "My name". And on such pages either a serial number has been changed, or some numbers are highlighted. Somewhere this phrase is even written on painted tombstones. This suggests that the name of this entity belongs to the fifth child, whose graves were depicted in the end of FFPS.
If you find all the inscriptions, you will get such a combination of numbers: 52, 39, 15, 72, 9-3, 10.11, 8:11. What to do with these values? We again turn to the section "Looking for words". Now we use the first number of numbers and move to so many horizontal positions. And then we go vertically to the number of positions of the second part of the number. Thus, the name of Cassidy is formed. Cassidy). The real name of the child, whose soul is in the gold of Freddy.
So, Cassidy asks Mike that he remembers. Next, he asks a leading question: “Your favorite toy in childhood was a plastic purple phone?"Then the spirit is interested in whether the owner of the magazine remembers his name. And does he see dreams. The last question of the Golden Freddy asks on the page where Mike drew a nightmare Fredber.
Golden Freddy is interested in whether Mike misses them. You can also recall the task on the 16th page where Logbuk proposed writing the names of five people whom the employee would like to meet after the shift. There Mike did not inscribe anything, but only painted hearts.
Cassidi continues to ask: “Your favorite attraction was a carousel?". And on a page with a drawn mirror, he finds out from the employee what he sees.
At the end of the magazine, the spirit asks the most unexpected questions. The first can be found on a page where Logbuk offers to remember if the guard had a favorite plush toy or an imaginary friend. Below is a plush Fredber, and next to him the question: “He is still talking to you?"
Cassidy’s last phrase in the magazine is a statement in which the spirit reports that the party was intended. On this, the spirit ceases to talk with the employee.
The spirit definitely tries to help Mike to remember his childhood, and who he really is. And we, readers, should also figure out who the former owner of Survival Logbook is.
Mayquictim
Let’s start with obvious details. Judging by the content of tasks in the journal, it becomes clear that it is intended for the guards of the 1988-1993 pizzeria from FNAF 1. So, the master of the book is Mike Schmidt. In addition, Mike leaves the tips indicating his personality. Sister location familiar with random bongo and exotic oils, watching Michael the series “Immortal and restless”, as well as other details in the logbook hint that the magazine owner is Afon. Scott officially confirmed that Mike Schmidt and Mike Afton are the same person. And the events of the magazine occur in parallel with FNAF 1
But this is not all parallels between the eldest son of William and the main characters of the previous parts. Cassidi as if asking questions to the crying boy from FNAF 4. After all, the child had both a toy purple phone in the room, as well as an imaginary friend of plush Fredber. And the main point is the assertion that that long-standing party was intended precisely by Mike, and not to anyone else. In addition, on the page about recent dreams, the guard draws a nightmare Fredber, whom only one person could see.
The logbook itself contains information similar to the biography of the crying boy. "Animatronika followed the guard to the house" – a reference to the traces of the robot near the broken window of the Afton House. "He fell right into the jaw of Freddy" – a reference to the bite.
Yes, you correctly understand that Mike Afon is a bitten boy, the main character of the fourth part. It follows that in all six games we played for the same character – for the victim of the bite (English. BITE VICTIM). Hence the name of the theory of Mayquirts (English. Mikevictim). And the phrase from the teaser "Four games. One story "Now you can rephrase in" six games. One story ". The story of Mike.
But how Mike survived after a bite? The answer to this gives us a plush Fredber, who promises to collect the boy back. Apparently, inside the plush toy there really was some kind of essence that helped to literally come from the other world. Let us recall how the main character in FNAF World gathered a watch in order to create a way for a crying boy, and he could come to life. This was his only goal – to prevent the bitter to die.
Since FNAF World is important for the plot, we will finally add it to the general timeline. It took place shortly after the bite "83"
It follows that at the time of the fourth part, the shirt should have been at least 13 years old, since already in the Sister location, which takes place in 1985-1987, it should be at least 16 years old. From this age alone, children can get a job.
Here we pay attention to the fact that nightmare animatronics still dreamed of a T-shirt. And since recent dreams are asked to sketch in Logbuk, it means that he dreams of nightmares during the working week, when he protects the pizzeria from FNAF 1. Hence it is clear why Bonnie, Chika and Foxy behave to FNAF 4 in the same way as their analogues in the first part, and why we hear fragments of von Gai calls. But this does not cancel the fact that nightmare animatronics existed in real life. Just dreams – scraps of memories from childhood.
In the case of Mayktima, the older brother remains nameless, and to know his name is not so important. In addition to FNAF 4, he does not play a special role in future games.
Mayquirts shows that inside the golden Freddy is the soul exactly Cassidy. The crying boy simply survived. And, in this case, the crying child in the mini -game “The Happy Day” is Cassidy. Apparently, William Afon abducted all the children while they celebrated his friend’s birthday.
Michabully
After the Survival LogBook, the FNAF fan community was divided into two camps: Maykvictim, we examined it above, and Michebully. The second theory is that Mike is an older brother who was a bully (English. Bully). Hence the name Michabulli (English. Mikebully).
Adherents of this point of view, despite the logbook, consider Mike the older brother. Firstly, the crying boy in mini-games was shown by a little boy, whose growth barely reached his older brother’s shoulders. Such growth could have a maximum of a nine -year -old child. Yes, and if he were 16 years old at the time of Sister location, then without proper education he could not work as a technician.
Secondly, Foxy in Logbuk is represented as a guard, personifying a shirt at the moment. And as we recall, the older brother in FNAF 4 wore the mask of the fox.
Foxi also read a magazine inside the logbook, which was a handunite in Sister Location.
“If you approached the vacancies fairs, read our ad in“ screws, bolts and hairpins ”, or this is just the result of determination, then in any case we welcome you”
And there is also an image in the book where Foxy fills the form, just as Mike did in FFPS, which once again proves a direct parallel between animatronics lis and older brother.
And, thirdly, Mike could see nightmares associated with the childhood of his younger brother, due. In this case, inside the bucket was the rest of the soul of the youngest son of William. It is no coincidence that he conducted experiments on him with illusion discs. But nightmare animatronics are not the only dreams that Mike saw. We could observe this in FNAF 2, when Jeremy dreamed between the nights of the face of animatronics.
In this theory, it also becomes clear where the soul of a crying boy went. Its residue is inside the bucket. Helpless and defenseless. True, in the case of Mikebully, the importance of FNAF World practically disappears.
But this is only a hypothesis that does not have proper evidence, since all the properties of the belnant are not fully known.
These are the changes in the general timeline.
The reaction of society to the book
This magazine caused a huge dissonance among fans. No one could imagine that a book with children’s assignments could call into question the story that has been collected bit by bit by grains for so many years.
Of course, the majority began to simply deny this book, consider it non -canon. But already in reprinting files, Freddie Scott directly hints that using this book you can find out unheated moments in FFPS.
Result
With the advent of disagreements between Mayktim and Mikebully, to get to the bottom of the true story FNAF has become much more interesting. What can I say, and to this day there are disputes, who is actually Mike.
At the time of 2017-2018, the theory of Maykvictim was more believable. Therefore, in the future plot I will rely on it. I hope that in future projects Scott will still tell the truth to the fans. But about this some other time.
Thanks for the viewing! Be sure to write your reviews and suggestions on how to improve articles. See you in the next part of the "Story of the series" (after two weeks).
