Is Michael Afton the Player in this Game? Spoiler Warning.

[RocketPillow]

It's pretty strange, one evidence points to it being someone completely different, and another being Michael... Let's start with Baby's voice line, she says "You don't really know who your employer is. Do you?" She might be thinking that her father William Afton is our protagonist's employer. Though she doesn't know who Henry is. If you want to watch the good ending here it is

Edit:The Website is flagged type in FNAF 6 good ending in your browser to watch it.

In the Good Ending of FNAF 6 Henry says to you when the place starts to burn down. "I have a feeling you're right where you want to be. I am remaining as well, I am nearby." A random dude who just bought this place wouldn't really have as much of a connection as Michael does. And I'm sure a random person would want to get out and stay alive. Though another evidence points to it being someone else, Henry says "And to you, my brave volunteer who somehow found this job listing not intended for you, although there was a way out planed for you, I have a feeling that's not what you want." Strange Micheal would want to stay but maybe there is a protagonist we don't know yet, I would like to hear your theories. I believe right now it's Michael, just a tiny bit more information, I know some of you probably won't believe me, but I don't work for the Game Theorists or something, if I did I would've ended this with "It's a theory, a GAME THEORY" I'd like to read your theorys... "End Communication." *Boop*

"job listing not intended for you" makes me think that its either someone other than Mike,
One of the animatronics also say "you're not who i expected" which makes me think that its someone that we know or maybe have played as before.

I agree with you, it would've been odd to introduce an entirely new protagonist this late in the game.

For the record, I think it's a valid notion that Henry intended for a completely random, though dedicated, individual to take the job.

But if he was putting the job out for someone specific, I think the only likely candidate was Phone Guy.

Phone Guy likely worked closely with Will and Henry in the early days of the pizzeria. Like Henry, he was optimistic and had no idea of Will's true nature. I think there's a good chance Henry assumed he simply left the company and didn't realize he'd been killed, and he was hoping to call him back. And while Phone Guy sounded resigned to his fate on Night 4, it's not likely he'd have stuck it out through the fire, so Henry provided him with an escape route.

If Michael was undead he understandably might have wanted out. I won't lie, I'm still having trouble processing the idea of Henry as a grieving parent committing suicide, but then again this is fiction and it was never my story to write, it was Scott's.

Anyway,
Cassette Man -- Phone Guy
Paragraph 4 -- Night 4

I know it is very hard to pick, while Matpat is trying to decode the rest we're trying to figure out if we're Michael. Lol

[RocketPillow]

Thanks for your theories, hopefully we get closer to the bigger picture. A picture of our player I hope.

[RocketPillow]

Great job man! Maybe you just solved it! I think we can close this theory once and for all, who knows maybe we'll need more evidence now I can live a happy jumpscare!

[RocketPillow]

I'm happy how many theorists responded to this, and I am really surprised Matpat didn't do this before I posted this discussion, lol. Though I really do like CoffyTM and breadspy's responses, the phone guy theory is great, and CoffyTM's is logical, so this tomorrows Christmas I'll make a new discussion of what animatronic is your favourite Jolly Christmas edition.

Edit: If anyone is still looking on this very old discussion, I didn't make a what animatronic is your favourte, I'm thinking of doing one after UCN is released.

[RocketPillow]

Phone guy did die, but we do know Michael faked his name in FNAF 1. So Michael had to takeover Phone Guy's position in FNAF 6!

[RocketPillow]

Michael's Fake name in FNAF 1 is "Mike Schmidt".

[RocketPillow]

Well the only way we believe it is because Matpat said it XD

[RocketPillow]

Though odor and tampering with animatronics is a good lead... I would tamper with animatronics if I was trying to release the souls of the children.

[RocketPillow]

That would be funny if William was skin colored purple like all those SFMs by FNAF fans.

[RocketPillow]

Wait I'm a Fan. I'm the fan. Wait... What happens if the fan was the main villain this whole time! He appears in almost every game!

[RocketPillow]

You better be... Fan will jumpscare every FNAF PLAYER!

We don't really know if Mike Schmidt = Michael Afton.

The only *real* arguments for this theory are:

1. "odor" = rotting
   
2. Mike - Michael

... and that's basically all.

We also know that Michael Afton in Sister Location had a tag that just said "Mike", if that isnt a hint idk what is.

I forgot I even cared about FNaF lore. And the overuse of those emotes are truly disturbing.

Thank you for the travel back through time necromancer. If anybody tells you people don't change, well they're only partly right.
