The Infodump: FNaF's Continuity Conundrum
Channel: Susannah Murphine
Date: 2024-01-14

Welcome to The Infodump, a new and exciting venture into the mind of someone with too many thoughts in her head. Join me as I discuss the current state of the Five Nights at Freddy’s canon and continuity, and how it got to this admittedly messy state. 
The only thing I own here are my own voice and thoughts. Everything else is being used for commentary purposes, as support for the thoughts mentioned previously. I intend no copyright infringement.
