Springtrap, The Animatronic | Dead by Daylight Killer Lore: https://deadbydaylight.com/news/the-animatronic-lore/

The Dead by Daylight x Five Nights at Freddy's collab contributes to the lore first and foremost by recounting for us in plain English, a story of events that we've only ever experienced visually through the FNAF 3 "Follow Me" minigames - The night that William Afton died, and Springtrap was born. Although we encounter and survive him up close in the main gameplay of FNAF 3, our interactions with Springtrap only last for a fraction of his considerably lengthy existence. That significant period of time between William Afton's initial springlocking at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and his eventual debut to the world at the Fazbear's Fright horror attraction is largely overlooked and taken for granted. Considering the fact that Springtrap remains quite an agile threat despite the mutilation and deterioration both his corpse and costume endured, it stands to reason that if William laid alone and forgotten on the decrepit floor of the saferoom instead of simply leaving Freddy's behind, it's because something... or someone... was keeping him there.

00:00hey guys so scared here and let's talk about the dead by daylight and fnaf collab because
00:07oh shit let's talk about the dead by daylight and fnaf collab because i think there's lore guys like
00:13there's lore i joined um t dreads joined t dreads's stream today and i think a lot of people
00:21came away disappointed at the end of the stream um because there didn't appear to be any like
00:28obvious lore in the map and it's probably going to be reserved for the actual release because this
00:33was just like a beta or something um so i get that but like guys there's lore and it's neatly
00:39packed into the character description um so i think that okay i only have one theory up and it's the
00:47best okay i'm sorry i only have one theory up and if you're subscribed and you watched it thank you
00:53and thank you for everyone's support i'll summarize it later but for now you know what you came here
00:57for so dead by daylight supports nightmare theory and my opinion in three ways and i forgot what
01:02they are i'm freestyling here um first of all by calling attention or just uh putting importance
01:09on the events of follow me we all know we all know follow me and secondly by uh i forgot i forgot
01:23um you know maybe there's there's a middle point you know i can freestyle and check my notes okay
01:27secondly by calling attention to the unique circumstances that led to the creation of spring
01:35trap spring trap was born from the death of a murderer what was it that pig patch said in ultimate
01:41custom night i consider it a dignified death not really it was actually quite pathetic
01:47and lastly by emphasizing the unknown but long period of time that spring trap spent in the safe room
02:02at freddy's which begins with everything going black and ends with afton waking up and finding that
02:12the ghosts that had tormented him were gone this is of course the intro to the collab and also we
02:16know this so what the ghosts of his victims that tormented him are gone and now he's free to take
02:22part in this awesome collab but let that sink in for a moment the ghosts of his victims that tormented
02:27him victims that tormented him tormented him
02:29the ghosts of his victims did what
02:36the ghosts of his victims did what
02:38what a gift to relish a victim that can't perish
02:44what a gift to relish a victim that can't perish
02:56um i don't think this torment is in is referring to the spring like death like i'm sure that hurted
03:11but no i'm talking about i'm talking about nightmare theory i think that line this lore implication
03:18uh supports the premise of nightmare theory that once follow me ends and everything fades to black
03:28the nightmares begin
03:32low light can save you now
03:36there's still more to talk about like with the actual gameplay but for now i'm going to summarize
03:58nightmare theory real quick so in summary nightmare theory proposes the following this hurts
04:03fnaf 4 is a nightmare it's entirely a nightmare even the minigames and since fnaf 4 is simply a nightmare
04:14the lore and the stories of the first three games remain intact
04:20this is in stark contrast to something like dream theory which writes off the first three games
04:28in order to try and make the illusion of fnaf 4 into reality no offense to matpat
04:34he's an og he paved the way but given that fnaf 4 is a nightmare nightmare theory still holds that
04:45fnaf 4 is entirely canon and a significant part of the story if that was ever a doubt in anyone's mind
04:52i assure you i am very real
04:55so the events that we see unfold in the game may be total fabrications but i think they happened
05:04and i think they can be traced to a very particular location which was recently mentioned in the dead by
05:12daylight collab deep within the abandoned freddy fast bears pizzeria enclosed in the walls of the safe room
05:20and entirely contained inside the mind of when it comes to the protagonist of fnaf 4 although it is
05:29experienced from the point of view of a child nightmare theory only entertains one possible candidate
05:38the only one who deserves to suffer night after night of nightmares onslaught
05:47the only one who in that safe room at the abandoned freddy meets the fnaf canonized criteria for this
05:57exact situation immobilized unconscious and at the mercy of one dedicated resentful vengeful spirit
06:09this is a nightmare that you won't wake from
06:21greetings from the fire and from the one you should not have killed
06:29we've only just begun
06:32i will never let you leave i will never let you rest
06:37the protagonist of fnaf 4 is the antagonist of the entire series
06:51the only one trapped
06:54plush trapped inside the nightmare
06:59but i digress the collabs recounting of what happened to william and follow me
07:05is on its own not much of a lore implication like i claimed but more of a lore revelation
07:12but don't get me wrong i'm not talking about nightmare theory and how like it should have been obvious
07:17because it really wasn't at all that 11 minute runtime was the result of five plus years
07:25of obsessive theorizing i worked hard on nightmare theory and it was difficult
07:33to put the pieces
07:37together so what i think the dead by daylight collab can contribute to lore enthusiasts and
07:44gamers and just fans is more spring trap
07:47you gotta love the tragedy of the games um and part of the reason why i think it was so hard to even
07:56come up with something like nightmare theory is that spring trap is on is really it's only spring
08:01trap is only with us for five nights which is why i think a lot of people forget or just neglect to
08:10knowledge what dead by daylight has recently reminded us of that unknown but long stretch of
08:17time that spring trap actually existed for this was decades he spent a good chunk of time rotting
08:26in that safe room i worked off of fnaf 1 which most people agree is early 90s and so i'm like okay
08:33follow me is mid 90s let's say 1995 that's the 10 year anniversary of 1985 uh when the mci happened
08:40which is quite fitting and it rhymes and fnaf 3 obviously being 30 years after 85 puts it at
08:472015 so from 95 to 2015 it's 20 years 20 years rotting in the safe room i think that's a reasonable
08:56amount of time for a game to take place for something to happen especially given the circumstances
09:06this also adds more shock and for me like i guess humor to springtrap's initial appearance or i guess
09:14debut to the world um as springtrap at fazbear's fright just knowing that the clueless fazbear frights
09:23team unknowingly unearthed a mass murderer and simultaneously awakened him freed him from the only
09:32thing that was keeping him from coming back so he came back i always come back and even though he's
09:42fresh from enduring decades of curated night terrors serving to teach him a lesson his first instinct is
09:51still to immediately chase after the first child he thinks he hears and technically that is the same
09:59state of mind that he's uh debuting in dead by daylight and he's been freed from his nightmare
10:07this time by the entity and not phone dude he's pissed off badass and more than ready
10:16to make up for lost time that agony isn't gonna inflict itself
10:20so in conclusion
10:27so in conclusion i am so excited for this to like actually come out and again i know that a lot of
10:33people came away disappointed uh not finding lore in the map they'll probably like actually launch that
10:41stuff when um this collab actually launches and the lore is neatly packed right there in the description
10:47you just gotta look but of course it's not just that like the gameplay the entirety of the gameplay
10:52is huge to me because the more we see the more we play as springtrap in freddy fazbear's pizza you
11:00might realize that springtrap spent a lot of time there that he belongs there if it wasn't for the fazbear
11:08frights team who knows how many nights he would have spent at freddy's cassidy was ready to give him five
11:14eternities at freddy's but don't take my word for it i'm the vengeful spirit i hate william afton
11:21did you guys hear that thank you for watching get hype even if you disagree like it looks so sick
11:28it looks so sick don't forget to like don't forget to subscribe and uh i'm working on my next video
11:34i know i'll see you later
