Old Candy got to be the most chad character in this series. Beats up an abusive father, looked good for being old, and refused to elaborate further.

“A mistake” - the rat’s death “My mistake” - the cat’s death “A problem” - Mary being in the room “Your problem” - Vinny’s vengeful spirit The events of the FNAC 3 cutscenes were essentially teased from the beginning

Saddest part is when candy gets arrested for murder,robbery and drug possession after his catnip addiction he was never the same 😢

Five Nights at Candy’s was definitely groundbreaking. It broke the fanbase wide open and helped create so many of the fangames that we see today.

It’s really refreshing to have someone talk about the Candy’s Series without being overly negative about it, as that has unfortunately become a bit of a trend to not like Candy’s

getting springlocked is absolutely horrible, but getting run through a factory processor? sounds like an experience I couldn’t describe with WORDS.

I'd argue that Candy's 3 is self-contained enough to stand on its own as a testament to horror storytelling. There's nothing really supernatural going on, the lore is gruesome but grounded in reality (that sort of thing can and does happen all the time in real life), and the whole thing turns out to be a surprisingly-respectful depiction of what someone with PTSD goes through and how they learn to live with it.

FNAC was truly the start of something special for FNAF fan games. It was the first fully made fan game as well as one that truly started a trend for other fan game developers to create their own unique stories on their games examples such Popgoes, TJOC, Jolly, Those Nights at Rachel’s, DSAF, ONAF, and even FNAF Plus. Thank you for all the creativity Emil Macko.

Holy crap I did not remember the lore being that deep. I’m also pretty impressed that it treats childhood trauma really well. It’s done in a mature way that’s easy to digest and also really nice. Can’t wait for the next installment

I found myself liking the FNAC 3 storyline because it felt real, it was simple ,a bit dark and even wholesome, just a traumatized kid trying to overcome her said trauma she got from seeing an actor accidently killing someone in an argument and then killing someone trying to report it and that actor just values his career and gets away with everything until Marry overcomes her trauma, remembers what happened and through telling the police about what happened the murderer is given what he deserves, all of this caused because of an accident with playing hide and seek at a children's attraction with actors that are still human.

this definitely broke the ice for future fan games and pioneered the way for LOTSSS of good ones

Fun fact, the FNaC universe is shared with the Popgoes universe. Which means only the first three FNaF games are canon to the story, and instead of there being a “William Afton,” there’s a Simon Fitzgerald. This still applies with the rebooted Popgoes universe, although there are some tweaks. I’d love a video on the old Popgoes lore, pre-reboot.

fun fact: theres a cool easter egg where you can find the origami cat in every night in fnac 3, you can click it to knock it down and you'll get a secret ending.

What draw me to this series was how it felt so polished that it felt like an official game that you would see being sold.

Candy’s was the first fnaf fan game series where I put together the lore all on my own, no help from videos or anything. It was a lot of fun to do

I like the details about the trash bin in the staff area of FNaC 3, as minor as it is. Of course, it's unfortunate about the kid's love basically being tossed aside, but it speaks a lot to the personalities of the three actors. The puppeteer, it's a safe guess he's more just pompous about it, because Mary never really has any in-depth interactions directly with him. He's an actor who feels above his position, and likely is more bothered that he has to deal with children shows at some weird off-shoot theater. The Rat likely doesn't get AS much as the Cat does, but what he gets he really cherishes. The rat is the most emotionally driven of the three, given his whole "main character" syndrome. By no means malicious, it could've been what he thought was the best part of his life, likely a poorer background. He gets drunk, but he feels on top of the world and absolutely adores playing hide and seek with the kids. This emotional attachment itself was too strong though, he rode the wave too eagerly. I think the Cat is the only one who had much going for him. He didn't undershoot or overshoot his position, it's a job and he enjoys the little parts of it. Likely inspired by the Rat's enthusiasm, he even offers on occasion to play hide and seek with guests himself. Yet he wouldn't hold on to most of the kid's drawings, he knew that getting overly sentimental about the job would undersell himself, and ignore the professional and proper side of things. He's level-headed, even tried assuring the Puppeteer that people would understand, it was an accident. The puppeteer couldn't accept that though, because deep down, while he was willing to blame others, he knew he was the one who took the first violent act in the situation, opening the flood gate of escalation.

Finally this game is getting the love it deserves, such well made games with touches of its own lore it clearly had some love put into it

50:55 actually, it makes more sence that Mary comes to the factory on the sixth nightafter hearing her daughter's stories about the place, that's why in the Game you are confronted by the originals cat and rat instead of the usual animatronics and why at the end she burns down the place

If we ever get a remake of FNAC 2 in some way I hope the rooms in the cameras look a bit more unique and not basically the same room and the animatronics have more unique mechanics, not just Chester and Penguin. I like the mini games in FNAC 2. This game could have definitely been better.
