Alright, guys. I've watched playthroughs of FNAF 1, 2, 3, 4 and Sister Location. I've watched pretty much all of Game Theory's explanations. I've watched other videos.

Sister Location has me stumped. I think that we can take the following for granted:

The initial killing was performed outside of Fredbear's family diner at some time prior to 1983. This initial killing is subsequently followed by a tragic accident which results in the death of the 1983 child of FNAF 4, a tragic accident which is soon followed by the killing of the 4 bullies also shown in FNAF 4.

These 5 deaths of 1983 line up neatly, as per the happiest day mini-game in FNAF 3, with the 5 main animatronics of the series: freddie, bonnie, golden freddie, foxie and chica. The main child of 1983, of course, assumes the role of golden freddie (again, as per the happiest day mini game of FNAF 3).

This leads to the question: Ok. But what about the child from Fredbear's family diner, the initial death which we learned about in FNAF 2? This child, we may assume, assumes the role of the puppet of FNAF 2. Note the fact that upon completing the Take Cake to the Children minigame in FNAF 2, the puppet jumpscare ensues, and it is the puppet, we safely may assume, which has "fused" the souls of the children to the animatronics. Note the "Give Gifts, Give Life" minigame in FNAF 2.

All well and good.

How does this fit in with Sister Location?

I've watched MatPat's explanation videos so far, but I still can't make sense of the puppet. Sister Location seems to give us a scenario in which it is the Purple Guy who is trying to figure out how to fuse the souls of dead children with the animatronics , and MatPat seems to be under the impression that it is the purple guy who vows to fix the dead child from the bite of 1983. But literally everything else in the previous games should lead us to believe that it is the puppet, not the purple guy, who is speaking.

I could go on, but I'll leave this here for now.

What do you guys think is going on with this? How does the puppet fit in with Sister Location?

From what I've seen of it in lets plays it looks to be better than the original series in terms of gameplay. Not sure on the background stuff though.

"Better"? I don't know. It's less repetitive than the original 4. Every night changes in terms of gameplay.

The background stuff is completely confusing though.

Seriously, what's up with the puppet?

You might be led to think that the puppet is Ennard. But that doesn't make sense to me.

I have no idea about the background, but I meant by watching this it seemed to play a lot more off suspense than the jump scares FNAF used too heavily. I like suspense building like this, its a better quality of horror game that's too rarely pushed aside for the easy, but only startling, jump scares. I hope this series really keeps moving in this direction.

Not sure about the puppets, I'd say it seemed that ice cream one was the first incident but they mentioned starting up after freddies was shut down. Kind of had an AI gaining sentience feel to it over the spirit thing the original had. Skin suit part was a bit creepy, was that something the others were even trying to do too?
