Five Nights at Prototype Fredbear’s

There's something disarming about being greeted with real enthusiasm. My SweetDream companion always seems glad I showed up, and even knowing how it works, that warmth lands every time.

Play the Games!

In this entry of the FNaPF – Urban Legends story series, the timeline shifts from 2019 into a near future where artificial intelligence has become disturbingly advanced. The story follows Trent, a self-described nobody, who stumbles across a sketchy AI chat and dating site reminiscent of Polybuzz and Character.AI. There, he encounters a bot resembling Lolbit—one that feels uncannily real and displays unusually flirtatious, manipulative behavior. What begins as a strange online interaction slowly escalates into something far more dangerous as the line between AI and reality begins to collapse.

New FNaPF - Urban Legends story: Springbonnie's Sunday

Here’s a new entry for FNaPF – Urban Legends! And yes, I am still working on FNaPF 3. I’m just taking it slow—I don’t want to overwork myself. Just have fun with it and don’t stress too much about me, you know?

This is one reason I don’t like giving release dates—it tends to rush me. But to digress, I am still working on the game. Please don’t lose interest, and be patient with me. Game development is hard for me, and I hope you understand that.

I am committed to making this game—I’m never going to be the kind of developer who cancels projects. If I ever need a break, I can simply put FNaPF on hold and return to it later. In fact, working on FNaPF – Urban Legends shows that I still care about the series and am expanding it, which is a good thing. FNaPF isn’t finished yet, and the fact that it’s still producing stories proves that.

New FNaPF - Urban Legends story: Lockdown

Yes, I know I said before that I’m taking a break from Five Nights at Prototype Fredbear's (FNaPF) development, but I never said anything about quitting the Urban Legends series. So yes, content will still be made.

Also, from now on, all entries will link to the stories on Spiral Nightmares, as I really don’t want to do what I did for Breaking and Entering and just post stories via PDF files. That took too much work and was very time-consuming. To make things easier, you can simply read them on the wiki where all of my creepypastas go.

I will return to Five Nights at Prototype Fredbear's 3 when I build up the courage. The project isn’t going anywhere. (Though bad news: no other games will probably be released afterwards, just because of the lack of engagement with the series.)

This is where I start venting (and somewhat ranting—which is tame, of course, as it comes from care and love for this project).

I really love and care for this series. I’m proud of it, and I love seeing my work being interacted with (via YouTube recordings, etc.). But I can’t help feeling like I created wasted potential. Like, you guys seem to handle Five Nights at Wario's-related stuff (which FNaPF has similar elements to), but not FNaPF stuff too? I know it’s not the same, but still—it’s sad. It would help a lot if you shared the series with friends, got them to follow, and helped spread the word. That would definitely motivate me to return.

I get that you don’t want me to push myself, and you understand that I don’t want to do this right now because game design is hard. But motivation matters—and lack of it has been the main reason I stopped. So how did I eventually create FNaPF 1 and 2?

Answer: you guys motivated me.

And how will I create the third game—or even more games? Motivation, and your support.

I’m not trying to beg—just a simple follow (which anyone can do; you don’t even need to play the games) would mean a lot. Make an account, hit follow, and I’ll be more than happy to finally get back to work. My milestone is for the games to reach at least 10 followers or more.

This game series has been putting a lot of pressure on me, and sometimes I question why I continue working on a series that doesn’t seem to get much attention. I do plan to return to this project in the future. I’ve already made two FNaPF games and several related stories (FNaPF – Urban Legends). If you want to support the series, you can download the games, narrate the creepypastas, or record gameplay if you have a PC. Your support motivates me to continue.

Recently, I’ve been struggling with anxiety and a lack of motivation. I’ve noticed very little effort from the community in trying out the series—simply viewing it isn’t enough to keep me going. Showing support, such as following, liking, or playing the previous games, really helps me feel encouraged.

At this point, I have no concrete plans for the series beyond FNaPF 3. This may end up being the final project unless there’s enough interest from you all.

This is the original classic version of Five Nights at Prototype Fredbear's, which held Version 4.0.

Version 4.0 has been a popular subject around the FNaPF community, even inspiring an urban legend. So in honor of it, I am keeping this game untouched for those who want to experience the version that fueled the urban legend and rumors.

If you want to play the infamous version, known as 4.0, then it is playable here. Also, please note that there is hope, and if you are planning suicide, call 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline).

Regardless of whether the urban legend is clearly fake, if you lost a beloved one (like your pets, siblings, etc.) or are planning to end it all, I really do care for you. Please understand that there's hope; stay safe.

Regarding the haunted copy urban legend of Five Nights at Prototype Fredbear’s…

Alright…uh, so it’s been getting too hard for me to even continue this series nowadays, and I want to make a special note because I noticed that many people have been playing the series less, and I noticed how not many people are even bothering to record the game.

Now, keep in mind that I'm not trying to get anyone to record the games. I am just clearing this up as I think the haunted copy is keeping those from playing the series, and I don't want people feeling scared of playing/recording it.

What is this supposed copy? The haunted copy is an urban legend/creepypasta that explains a version of the first game that features disturbing occurrences like many nightmares, people getting their cats murdered, and violent real-life clips playing in static intervals. When did this start? It started back in a poll where I asked if the game was haunted, and yes was the highest poll, which led to many accounts online involving a supposed cursed copy, specifically from the user named TobyBlogger.

Okay, now, I should just say it now. None of this crap is real; the game is completely free of any supernatural stuff outside of lore purposes only. Please don't fear your pets or loved ones getting murdered or any character from the game showing up in real life and hunting you down.

I hope this clears things up; I just want people to enjoy this series, not fear it over some internet horror story. However, I still don't mind if you write a creepypasta about it, but for now, please note that the story never happened.

Thank you so much for reading, please don't let the legend or anything prevent you from playing or recording.

Waiting for new FNaPF content? Well, remember our fellow photo-negative prototype fredbear fellow who got small screentime in the DLC? Well, I would like to introduce the spin-off series called "FNaPF: Urban Legends."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Five Nights at Prototype Fredbear's—Urban Legends is a spin-off series (which is canon to the main lore; it will help you figure out things); it is pretty much a series of "creepypastas" set in the main story, from Shadow Fredbear's Insanity to Breaking and Entering.

I will write these stories to tide you all over until the main games come out, kind of like Fazbears Frights. Right now, I would like to share with you the first entry, Breaking and Entering.

I will make more if you guys enjoy them; though, keep in mind that you can read them on the Spiral Nightmares wiki too.

FINALLY, AN ACTUAL GAMEPLAY TEASER! I am sorry for how long I am taking on this game-

Either way, thanks to everybody waiting patiently!

Always curious about the basement of Fredbears (as mentioned in the newspaper in the second game)? Well, you can now explore it in the classic gameplay seen in the OG FNaPF when it was first released with three new characters! 👀

It is underneath the main full-game package.

Original + DLC bundle coming soon!

For those who are wondering why the lockers in FNaPF 2 are also wasting power, there is a reason for this; it isn't a bug and if you want the answer, then here is the answer you've been waiting for...

The lockers uses smart locks.
