Serene Flowers

SO this is gonna be analyzing two things: a gameplay teaser shown in this fundraiser stream and a couple screenshots from a Discord stream by one of the devs (the screenshots aren't mine, I wasn't there for the stream, so I have ONLY the screenshots to go off of and no actual gameplay from the stream). I'm mainly going to be focused on the new threats and just briefly touching on potential penalties/shop items.

I'll link youtube videos of clips of their mechanics since there's a one-video limit here...

First up, walking guy!

They seem to be similar to Withered Freddy in Frickbear's 3 or Dsom in Too Many Nights. At the start of the night, they slowly walk across the window to the left or right door, and once they get there they're visible on the cameras. You have to use the audio lure on the opposite door to make them go to that door instead, so it'd be a lower-priority game of luring them back and forth until the night ends. If they stay at one door for too long, they probably get in and kill you.

My only question would be if closing doors stops or stalls them? That stalls some threats but doesn't make them leave (like Barry), so it might work the same way here.

Secondly, the sad lil corner guy!

Why are they in the corner! So sad!

This one is a hold-E-prompt threat. They seem to have several different "phases" that they go through, starting with them sitting with their head down. The phases are them slowly lifting up their head, and if they get to their last phase they'll probably kill you. You can hold their interaction prompt to set them back one phase, and you have to do it repeatedly if they get too far in their phases. Best strat would probably be to check on them often so that you can catch them early on and don't have to spend as long setting them back phases. Alternatively, you can play it risky and let them get pretty far and then just keep setting them back only once or twice so that they're JUUUST a few phases before killing you! Nothing says you have to fully reset then every time! (Unless they have a punishment for being in their later phases, like increased power drain or something).

Additionally, I'm PRETTY confident that the threat shown in the 2nd + 3rd images (which was a screenshot from the Discord stream, and then me tracing over it to roughly show the pose better) are this threat. They have the same pose, after all! I just have no idea who they could be! I'm pretty sure they're an animatronic of sorts, especially since they look metallic, but I don't have any official guesses besides MAYBE an Endo or Lefty. Probably not Lefty but I might as well throw it out there.

Here's a drawing by me from what I can kinda see from the screenshot?

Idk lol. Just throwing ideas around here.

Third, the giant blue hand.

This thing has an indicator on the ground like Ball, except the circle is MUCH bigger. And then a hand comes down from the roof! It also sounds like it has an evil laugh as a sound cue. Pretty sure you just can't stand under it, and it'll go away after a certain amount of time. Also, you can shine your flashlight at it to make it go away faster. I think you'll be able to briefly go under it, like how you can walk through Void temporarily, but if you're under it too long it'll kill you.

Also it's the Myself blue. Just something to note. It probably represents a guilt/regret, which will be explained in its Memory. Like Hesitation or Strings!

Fourthly, MOVE!

This one seems pretty self-explanatory. Just keep moving! It'll probably kill you (or damage the mask like Hesitation?) if you stay still too long or take too long to deal with it. It appears as a visual indicator on your screen and disappears either after a set amount of time, or after you get rid of it by moving enough. However, I think you have to move side-to-side specifically. Its indicator in the video looks like it's flashing left and right, and the player keeps doing little side-to-side motions to get rid of it, even while running in a straight line or doing stationary tasks (such as holding the prompt for Jan's cleaning supplies). Or maybe the indicator tells you which direction to move in, and you HAVE to move in that direction, so it's basically the opposite of Hesitation? And then it'll flash left and right quickly if you need to move side-to-side. The indicator in the fundraiser teaser is a little hard to see (I had to slow it down to see the flashing), so the tentacles in the screenshot might be an addition to make its mechanic clearer.

Interestingly enough, the indicator shown in the fundraiser teaser (first image) has a wave-like cyan shape on the bottom of the screen, while the indicator in the Discord stream screenshot (second image) has what looks like tentacles. Maybe it's an octopus or squid-like creature?

Fifth, HUBERT!! and the yellow door guy.

We as a community have dubbed the wet floor sign bot "Hubert" lmao

So the yellow person appears at a door (I'm assuming just left or right, since the back door doesn't have a camera) and is only visible on the cameras. Looking at them on cams will put a yellow visual indicator on the ground at that door in the office. Hubert also seems to "wake up" when the yellow person appears at a door as another indicator. Hubert is sitting in the back corner of the office, and you need to pick him up and take him to the correct door! The yellow person will take Hubert and leave. If you take too long to give them Hubert, they'll probably kill you.

Sixth, the white podium things.

This is the one I'm least certain about. A white podium/circle spawns on the ground, and you have to walk on top of it to make it go away. But then it makes a line to another place in the office and spawns another one? There might be a set amount that you have to get rid of, and then it'll go away entirely, sort of like Destroyman III. There might be a penalty that adds more to get rid of, like Coral Headache! Or a penalty that spawns multiple at a time rather than just one at a time? And I'm assuming it'll kill you if you take too long to step on it. Maybe it'll start to flash as a warning like Chains does if you're taking too long.

Next, PHONE GUY??

You read that right! The FNAF-inspired game is finally getting its own Phone Guy!

Basically what this one does is it rings and will have one of three images appear above the phone (and an accompanying audio): Bloxy Cola, burger, or pizza. You have to go onto the kitchen camera and click a button to match the image with the one above the phone. I think you just have to match it within a certain amount of time, and the phone guy will kill you if you take too long.

Also, they don't seem to have any physical form (from the teaser, at least). It might be a threat on the other end of the phone, or it might just be the phone itself as the threat. Who knows!

Last but not least, Funsy Chicken.

Finally, an actual name!

This was a screenshot from the Discord stream, but that is still very clearly meant to be Funtime Chica. That would complete the Funsy group; Funsy Barry, Funsy Fox, and Funsy Chicken! Sorry Bunny but you're stuck to Bon-Bon. Now, this is the only screenshot we have of her, but I'd like to make a guess on what her mechanic is: I think she's the yellow door person with Hubert. Yellow is Chicken's color, so it'd make sense for that to be Funsy Chicken's placeholder color. Plus, the outline color of the placeholder was white (I think), which would potentially be Funsy Chicken's outline color (since white is one of her main colors). Also, the wet floor signs are used for a somewhat similar mechanic in UCN, and that's for Rockstar Chica, so it wouldn't be a huge stretch to say that this was ALSO for a type of Chica. The only other idea I have for Funsy Chicken is that she could be the one calling the phone, since New Chicken's mechanic also involves food and a button on the kitchen camera, but I personally like the Hubert idea more lol. Plus, why would they make her a whole model if she was just going to appear as a disembodied voice on the phone... (unless it's for the jumpscare alone)

Now, the non-threat teasers!

Laser vents. Shown on the fundraiser stream, probably a shop upgrade? It seems to make Gisela leave faster, so I'd assume it just gets rid of any animatronics that are actively in the vents. There's a button to turn on the lasers, so it's not just a random event or anything! Not sure if the button also turns them off or if they just automatically turn off on their own after a set amount of time. I also think there will only be a set amount of times you can use the lasers per night, maybe? Or it'll have a cooldown. Otherwise it'd be a bit unbalanced and you could just spam the laser button.

Side note, Zuffy's name will probably be changed to Gisela in the next update since that's what she goes by now!

New State of Mind! Most likely an ending-related one, since it's been confirmed that we'll get at LEAST one new ending this update. If I had to guess, the ending (and this SoM) is probably correlated to a song teaser that was also shared in the fundraiser stream (labeled "FFA"). I'm not going to say anything more because I know more than I should :)

Also reorganized SoM selection?? 👀

Yeahh this one is tripping me up. Music box...? But with a play/pause button...?? And it's replacing the locker???

I've got no clue what this could be for. New threat mechanic (playing/pausing the music to either lure them closer or scare them away, or maybe having to change whether it's playing, paused, or the speed of it occasionally throughout the night)? Penalty (can't wind Puppet's music box on the camera, instead it has this odd office setup? except there's no crank)? Item (allows you to temporarily wind the box inside the office without using the equipment)? I have no clue. The presence of a music box at all makes me think it's related to Puppet, but the lack of a crank is SERIOUSLY throwing me off. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Crucifix. Flashlight skin probably lol. Not much else to say here, I don't think it's equipment or an item of any sort.

And that's it!
