POPGOES Finale

**POPGOES Finale** is a cancelled minigame compilation of three POPGOES Reprinted minigames and was meant to be the final send-off to the POPGOES series. A demo with the first level was released on June 27th, 2019, but in October, LSFDevelopment disappeared from the internet and caused Kane to cancel the game entirely a few months later.

## Description

Fritz Glade is alive.
In POPGOES Finale, a dying Fritz takes a dying Strings through a selection of memories from his mysterious and misfortunate past, adding to and concluding the story of the POPGOES series.
Traverse through beautiful pixel art environments with a brand new chiptune soundtrack. This is not a horror game! There are no jumpscares, no dying... in fact, there is no losing at all. Just walk around and take the story in.
Disclaimer: The premise of POPGOES Finale is not canon to the POPGOES story, but the memories/minigames that are presented within are.

## Gameplay

The game had three chapters

* **Entering and Breaking**

You played as a young Jeremy who breaks into Fredbear's Family Diner to try and control one of the animatronics. Jeremy tries to control Spring Bonnie, but would accidently push JJ of the stage breaking it.

* **Proud Collection**

You played as a young Jeremy who visits four Freddy Fazbear's Pizza locations to collect plushies of their "cameo" characters. Each restaurant had a "cove" with a cameo animatronic that would give you a plushie ticket. You redeemed them to complete your collection. At the Golden Freddy location, the out-of-order ticket dispenser would malfunction, scaring Jeremy which results in the Golden Freddy hallucinations during his night shift at Freddy's in 1987.

* **The Red Bunker**

Fritz, much older, enters a bunker he recently discovered belonged to his late brother, Simon. Exploring the bunker, Fritz would also discover many clues behind his brother's killings, ending with Fritz discovering a graphic photograph of Simon with five dead children. (Censored in-game)

* **Ending**

Blackrabbit would create a shrine out of the stone on the title screen, to let herself (Toy Bonnie), Simon (Springtrap) and Fritz (Popgoes) rest forever in a true Happiest Day.

The game would end with Strings in Fritz's Office, shutting down WeaselWare and stopping Simon for good.

## Unused Minigames

Their were three other minigames meant for POPGOES Reprinted that were scrapped and not added to POPGOES Finale.

* One involved Fritz building Buttons to fend off his nightmares of JJ, which resulted in failure.
* Another showed the murder of Bonnie Glade.
* The last involved Simon chasing Strings through a corrupted memory after finding out he was still alive. This minigame would be a platformer.
