The Return Cindy: Reboot

Failed Reboot

Some time after the rest and the release of FNAC2020, the author had a new breath to make a sequel. It was another restart that eventually led to the end of the entire Cindy series.

The game continued to revolve around Richard, but this time his partner was John. The game was supposed to switch back to Unreal Engine 4, but without calculating own strength, the project also was already dead. The plot was based on the investigation and search for the creator of animatronics.

The Reboot was supposed to make the game an even darker story by focusing on darkness and snow. Yes, the action of the game took place in winter, which would give the game an unusual atmosphere. But even though on streets was snow, the player would still spend most of the playing time in basements and underground parts of buildings.

Although the author of the project took a break from working on the previous version of the game, fatigue appeared again, and later the realization that it was not worth continuing on the project. After this realization, a big post was written on Game Jolt in which, I quote:

*"I will spend 3 years developing a game in which will having, a good plot, a lot of chips and small details. But I won't get anything from the game."*
*""I'm leaving fnaf as a developer! Goodbye Five Nights at Freddy's! You gave me childhood and the desire to make games. Big thank you!""*
At that time, the developer decided to completely leave the FNAF Fandom "forever", which by the way had a very good effect on his future. He was able to learn how to model better and began his career in creating artworks. Everything was going well until this happened a year later...

Of all the material that's left, it's animatronics. They got a complete redesign to look more presentable in UE4. But due to the fact that Frond Fox was just starting to study Blender, there were SO many polygons in 3d models that the projects worked at 10 fps :/

**Here is a list of all animatronics that were planned in the game:**

* **Uncontrollable Cindy** - Animatronic Cat
* **Uncontrollable Candy** - Animatronic Cat
* **Forgotten Ellie** - Animatronic Fox
* **Forgotten Emily** - Animatronic Bunny
* **Forgotten Stella** - Animatronic Bunny
* **Rotten Chester** - Animatronic Monkey
* **Rotten Blank** - Animatronic Blank
* **Rotten Penguin** - Animatronic Penguin

**Also, in order not to lose the script, I want to leave it here.**

**BEGIN**

by Frond Fox & SOHE (2021)

Black screen. After a couple of seconds, the inscription is shown: 2 years after the restaurant closes. The inscription disappears. The time and date, city, country appear.

A conversation begins on the phone:

Richard: - Hello.

John: - Richard... this is your finest hour! I need your help urgently.

Richard: - What happened?

John: - There is no time to explain, I will come for you soon.

Richard: - A... uh... okay?.

John: - Great, wait. I'll be there soon

John arrives and Richard get in the car. The dialogue begins:

Richard: - So what happened?

John: - Remember my story about the restaurant? 2 years ago, animatronics were taken to a warehouse where they were to be disassembled and destroyed.

Richard: - Yes, and what?

John: - So, on the same day when they were supposed to be dismantled. They just disappeared from the warehouse. And now we know their approximate location.

Richard: - And you're offering to go on this mission with you?

(silence)

John: - Yes.

Richard: - Are you crazy?

John: - I can only trust you... still, this will be your first major assignment... you can certainly refuse, but..

Richard: - Okay.. I agree.

John: - Great! Our goal is to learn as much as possible about animatronics and everything about Rhombus Electronics Corporation.

Richard: - Okay... go.

Screen fading, ignition sound.

When they arrive, John will say:

John: - All right, let's go.

Richard will have to get out of the car and go to the trunk where John will already be standing.

John: - Take whatever you need.

Richard and John arrived at an abandoned building where people used to live. John will carefully enter this building with a flashlight. Richard will have to follow him with a flashlight. The location will be abandoned. Some rooms will be open, and in one of them there will be an Easter egg on [ Narnia ]. There will be a closet where there will be a large passage to an empty room with a table where there will be a lion statuette.

John and Richard will split up to find the passage. Along the corridor, when Richard passes near the room, where the door closes very loudly and abruptly.

When Richard finds a passage under the stairs, he will call John:

Richard: - JOHN! I FOUND SOMETHING!

In response, silence. Richard will start talking:

Richard: - John?! John, where are you?!

When Richard comes to the corner, John will jump out from there and scare him.

John: - BAAAAA!

Richard: - (sudden fright, sound).

John: - (laughter), you should have seen your face! (laughter).

Richard: - Are you sick?! I almost fell through the ground.

Richard: - Very funny! - the answer, during John's laughter.

John: - Huh, you're so tense. Relax. It's clean here.

John and Richard will go to the blocked staircase, where there will be a closed passage under it.

John: - So, the door is closed with a new lock. Someone was here recently.

John takes a gun and shoots at the lock, then opens the door where there will be a descent down the stairs.

John: - Let's look for what secrets this basement hides.

Richard and John will have to go down there. There will be a small room where there will be pipes and wires.

Richard: - Hmm, it looks like an ordinary basement.

John: - There's something wrong here..

John will look around the room and see a trapdoor under his feet (it will be covered with dirt and dust).

John: - Apparently this is not the only door that leads down. Look what's here! Let's open this Pandora's box.

When John opens the hatch, there will be another step ladder that will lead to the underground complex itself.

Richard: - Another descent?

John: - Oh, I've seen more than that.

Richard and John will go down these stairs. Ahead of them there will be a small corridor with a couple of rooms on the sides, they will be empty, and some closed. John will stand in one place and lean against the wall and say:

John: - Well, now it's your turn. Show me your abilities.

Richard: - Hah, easy!

Richard will need to open the door with lock picks, behind which there will be a computer. There will be only correspondence and strange information. There will be keys on the table near the computer. Richard has to take them and open the main doors.

Richard: - I told you it would be easy!

John: - Not bad, as for a beginner (laughter). Just like me.

Behind this door there will be a small hall with two corridors on the sides. 1 corridor will be closed by a huge door with a key card. The other corridor will be open. There will be an elevator in the middle that will be disabled.

John: - Oh, my God... how did they manage to build all this?

An open corridor will lead to a small room in which there will be tables with papers
Richard will need to crack the second corridor. Here we provide the player with a new hacking ability. You will need to enter just a couple of lines of code that will be shown to the player.

When Richard connect the wire to the key panel, he will say:

Richard: - So, what do we have here?

After hacking, Richard will say:

Richard: - Great, access is open!

John: - Impressive, go on.

Richard will have to go to the corridor where the control panel will be, there you will need to pull the lever to activate the elevator. After that, Richard will have to go to the elevator and call him.

John: - Great job. Well, I want to give credit. You've grown a lot in terms of investigations, keep it up!

Richard: - Thank you, John.

Richard and John go down to the level below (2nd floor). This floor will be a relaxation area. When Richard gets out of the elevator, John will say:

John: - You go find something here for now. In the meantime, I'll go down to the floor below, look there. Don't get lost, if you get lost, call ( smile )

Richard: - Ha-ha-ha, very funny.

John: - Okay, let's get to work!

John presses the button and the elevator doors close.

Richard has to find information on the 2nd floor.
