**The Return to Freddy's: Chapter One** is a game that was meant to be a hoax for the real game, The Road that Falls.

## Development

The game was first announced in August of 2017 until Edmund was legally able to create the company, Kriya Studios in May of 2018. The game would soon later on get behind the scenes, teasers, and previews. It was intended to be released on a closed launcher called the "OMEGA LAUNCHER." A launcher that was being made by Jacob Rotundo (one of Edmund's friends at the time).

On July 9, 2018, Edmund would soon reveal to everyone that this entire game was nothing more but a hoax. Confirming that all of the FNAF elements and characters were there just to trick everyone into thinking it was another "Five Nights at Freddy's fan-game" project. He then revealed that the game was actually called, "THE ROAD THAT FALLS." Later on, Edmund would show screenshots on the Game Jolt page, showcasing the model for the Cosmic Wendigo and a few other behind-the-scenes screenshots. Eventually, the game page was ultimately removed from Game Jolt, and everything presented now lies in the KRIYA STUDIOS website.
