The Script

The Script was a FNaF-inspired survival game developed by Ethan Dahlberg. It came about in 2019 under the studio name "Da Beef Games" and was never officially released to the public.
Sometime around May 2020, a video of The Script was released onto YouTube showcasing the first night of the game."The Script Night 1 Demo" – UNKNOWN on YouTube, May 2020? (Archive) For the longest of time it was the only available evidence that the game even existed to begin with, until April 12, 2023, where Ethan released a video which essentially showcased The Script in its entirety."Revisiting my old PowerPoint Games (Part 1)" – @TechGamesPlus on YouTube, April 12, 2023 It was revealed to be a demo version of the game, having only two nights.
==Gameplay==
The gameplay in The Script is unsurprisingly quite simple as it was made in Microsoft PowerPoint. Each animatronic gets given a set of choices, and moves closer towards the player as their counter goes down. 
Leader is the first animatronic, and the only one that is active in Night 1. He has a Choices counter of three. Leader will arrive at the office door when he has one choice left, and the player must shut the door if they wish to keep Leader out. Due to faulty game logic, the player can almost beat the whole night just by closing and reopening the door. Although, if the player opens the door with two choices left at 3 AM, the door will fail, causing the player to lose.
Attacker is the second animatronic, first appearing in Night 2. He has a Choices counter of five. Attacker will arrive at the Parts and Services window on the right. The only way to dodge his attack is to dispense a cross tape on his right arm. Because of poor hyperlinking, the game has a massive bug that deems the night "unplayable" (coincidentally Night 2 in The Awakening is broken for the same manner). If the player dispenses a cross tape when the time is 11 PM, it will default back to 10 PM.
There is also a special third way to die in the game. If the player dispenses a cross tape while Attacker is not at the window, the player will be killed by a "Trojan".
==Plot==
In Night 1 of The Script, we are introduced to three characters. The first two are Kylie and James (who also appear in The Awakening). They discuss how fun their night was, and that James should probably head off to work for the night shift.
In Night 2, Kylie tells James that she called up his manager. He agreed that he would play a game of rock paper scissors with James upon arrival. If James wins, he starts at 2 AM. Otherwise, he must start at 10 PM. However, it's important to note that the game is specifically programmed in a way to cause the player to always lose.
==Trivia==
*An Unreal Engine remake titled The Script: Reconnected has been considered.
