About this episode

The episode discusses the current state of the FNAF franchise and the trend of focusing on past games rather than recent developments.

Does anyone know what’s going on with FNAF these days? I’ve been noticing a recent trend in the community lately where everyone seems to be going backwards. I’ve seen more theories on past games than anything recent, which I think says a LOT of the current state of this franchise and I want to unpack why this may be happening.
