Scott Cawthon Won’t Reboot FNAF… So I Did it For Him

by archytele November 2, 2025

written by archytele

My FNAF Reboot concept follow-up is finally here – just in time for the FNAF 2 Movie hype train. All new lore, minigames, and gameplay – all found in FNAF: Heyday – and that’s NO theory!. William Afton returns, along with the Puppet, the Toys, and the Withereds – and a healthy smattering of Secret of the Mimic connections.

This fan-game project has been a labour of love, which took over 8 months, so I hope you enjoy! Unfortunately, I’m only an entry-level game dev, so this game isn’t “real” (yet).

The Sonic Timeline is WRONG! Earlier this year, Sega released their official timeline of Sonic the Hedgehog and it’s… all over the place. Many important games are missing and some of the games are in COMPLETELY the wrong order! But don’t worry Sega, because I’m here to fix it…

*🧹✨ Subscribe for a free Clean-O-Vac* ► https://www.youtube.com/@GameTheory/?sub_confirmation=1

Now that we have a definitive backstory for the Mimic, we now have the answers we’ve been dying to understand for years. What is the Mimic’s goal? What is the deal with MXES? Why was the lore of Security Breach so confusing in the first place? Let’s plummet down into the depths of Murray’s Costume Manor to discover the REAL Secret of the Mimic!
