The Fake Developer (also known as the Watcher, Unseen Entity, and Unknown Entity) is the primary antagonist of FNaW: Cabin Fever, Cabin Fever 2: The End, and possibly the primary antagonist of the FNaWniverse.

## Description

The Fake Developer has yet to be physically seen, however whenever he speaks, his dialogue is typically misplaced or glitched out.

Multiple portals have been seen in the FNaWniverse. These are all created by Fake Developer, allowing transportation to one area (or universe) to the next. He creates these portals and then plays melodies to lure in spirits from other universes, then proceeding to steal their souls and use them for his own creations. The melodies additionally make him stronger, allowing more portals to be made and more spirits to be lured. These portals spread across every universe in the FNaWniverse, including those not connected to the story of High Rollers and Cabin Fever (example: FNaW: Trapped Within).

He very often messes with the player whenever he appears by doing things such as crashing the game.

## FNaW: High Rollers

The Fake Developer is hinted at several times in the 3.0 update of FNaW: High Rollers:

* One of his portals appear during the opening cutscene of Full House Mode, transporting Wario to the old casino.
* When viewing Yoshi in the Extras of Full House Mode, very small text on the bottom left of the screen states "do not trust the dev".
* Text will appear when the player presses a button in the Night 6 instruction screen of Full House Mode. This text is a message left by the Fake Developer, threatening the player to leave. He states he enjoys watching the beings of these universes suffer, and that he's more of a threat than Emma (the main antagonist of the mainline FNaW series).
* Fake Developer appears at the end of Full House Max Mode, yet again stating he's stronger than Emma. This time he reveals who he is, but simply states he is the "Developer" as an attempt to frame the real developer. After his message, he forcefully closes the game.

## FNaW: Cabin Fever

The Fake Developer is the "unseen watcher" that lures Katie to the cabin, first revealed in the Night 5 cutscene. At the end of Night 5, the Fake Developer, after acquiring Katie's melody, describes to the player that the melody is enough to start the apocalypse. He then tells the player to prepare before he abruptly crashes the game, similar to what he did in a cutscene during FNaW: High Rollers.

## Chapter 2

Fake Developer appeared as the primary antagonist in Chapter 2, but Chapter 2's entire story was erased from the canon, making his appearance in that game almost nonexistent. In one cutscene, it shows the Fake Dev creating portals in multiple FNaWniverse games (High Rollers, CRE, Trapped Within) and using the melody to lure in spirits. In a second cutscene, an image of Bruno Gate is shown while Fake Dev explains how he tricked and used Bruno. After this, he never speaks again, but does send out the Spider to attack the player instead of the Giant in Hour 5. At the end of this hour, the real Developer appears and resets everything. In the ending of the Max Mode, Fake Dev appears, asking the player why they think they haven't seen Katie's mother yet. Afterwards, it displays a drawing of who could possibly be Katie's mother, screaming with a skeletal face.

## Cabin Fever 2: The End

The Fake Developer is returning as the primary antagonist. Not much information about his inclusion in this game has yet been revealed. However, at the end of the 2 Night Demo, a slightly off image of the real developer is briefly shown before the game forcefully crashes, something the Fake Developer does often.

## Trivia

1. Fake Developer's portals may even spread to FNaW universes not part of the FNaWniverse, hinted by Fake Developer mentioning Emma, a character who has yet to be seen in the FNaWniverse.
2. The reason he requires the use of a melody is that the sound can attract beings to approach the portal. It also has a mysterious effect on himself that empowers him.
