Fazbear Entertainment Security Archive

The FESA's boot screen.

**FESA**, fully known as **Fazbear Entertainment Security Archive**, is a program released on April 1, 2021 as a part of an ARG event in the Fazbear Tycoon community. It is infrequently updated with new files, and players have to figure out the passwords with clues posted by the developers to access them.

## Description

FESA is seemingly a program created and used by Henry Emily, with its purpose to record and archive any incidents, events, and sightings related to the Fazbear Entertainment. Most of these documents require passwords to access, and some information has been purposely redacted as well in case of unauthorised users accessing this program.

An unknown person known as "Z" has successfully gotten into Fazbear Entertainment's computer and stolen the project files. To reveal the truth to the public, they decrypted some of the files and released it, with updates coming over time.

The program seems to be more and more broken as update comes, as the opening screen starts to glitch out. In Version 1.5, the program appears to be growing somewhat sentient; it realizes that the player is not actually Henry, and says strange dialogues occasionally such as "You're not supposed to be here." and "Something's... wrong." When the opening screen glitches heavily (with the logo not visible), sentences including "DO YOU REMEMBER JEREMY?", "FOLLOW ME", "I AM NOT ALONE.", "Help." and more can be seen on the screen. Sometimes, a strange laughter can be heard during this moment. Moreover, in Version 1.6 (10/3/2022), it is revealed an unknown entity is residing inside the program, as breathing, knocking and mechanical sounds can be heard occasionally.

### Password

To access the program itself, the player must first input the password **Charlotte**. This password can be found by decoding one of Undead\_Army's comments on Game Jolt, "Glevpsxxi". To do so, ones need to undo the cursed text and shift the phrase 4 letters back.

The rest of the passwords for the documents in the program are listed below.

## Secrets

Aside from the files available, there are also strange secrets that can be found in the program.

Since Version 1.4, a mysterious blackened image can be seen when the startup voice begins glitching out, and after the entry password is inputted. Brightening this image reveals a room with wired fences and cables, which is the Ladder Hallway. The purpose of this image is unknown. This image is removed in Version 1.6.

In Version 1.5, there is sometimes a period of silence and blackness before opening a file. If player brightens up the screen during that, one may get a strange static screen that depicts an unknown animatronic.

There are also several secret messages that may be found in a file named "Z" (the uploader of the program) in "MMFApplication" in "Appdata" folder. Messages are randomly added when booting the program. These messages include: "Z WAS HERE.", "GETTING CLOSER.", "KEEP GOING. DIG DEEPER.", "IT MUST BE AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE." and "FESA CORRUPTION AT 15%".

In Version 1.6, the update post hinted that the player is "not alone in this program" and should "try asking around." By typing in the question "Are you there?" instead of the "Charlotte" password in the initial screen, text appears on screen, saying either "Im still here" or "I never left", before the game glitches out intensely and eventually closes itself. Before the glitches, a darkened image can be seen.

If the file dump of the game is extracted, a hidden image is kept within the binary file (where the font file is kept). The file is titled "I'm Always Watching", and the image itself is black image with white text "I can see you." Brightening it reveals the same character that appeared in the aforementioned glitches. This character is confirmed to be the same as the one that appeared in the static screen in 1.5.

## Trivia

* It has been confirmed that all the events recorded as well as the data leak of the FESA program occurred before *Fazbear Tycoon*.
* In Version 1.6, the application of the FESA program is named "find-the-truth".
* During FESA's initial release, the program was claimed as an early build demo of the game as a proof of concept. Running the game will reveal a title screen. However, by pressing New Game, a text "That data leak has compromised the entire operation." appears on screen along with glitched noises. An image of Springtrap is shown on screen, followed by purple text "I am still here." The game then closed itself, and reopening the game will bring up the FESA program.
	+ This part of the game was later confirmed to simply be an April Fools joke, and is removed in the update on April 2nd.

* On April 1st 2022, the game celebrated its 1st anniversary since release by adding 3 new files: "Feline Friends", "Utah News Report", and "Black Rabbit". These, however, turned out to be April Fools joke instead. These files respectively contained nothing but images of memes featuring small animals, an image of Simon Cowell with a knife photoshopped on it along with a voice clip of 8-BitRyan and other YouTubers, as well as joke images that poke fun of absence of Popgoes in Fazbear Tycoon.
