Transcripts

we're dead we're cornered this is a dead

end I bet the last tapes in here

actually yeah that makes sense

oh my God

yo this is so trippy

[Applause]

[Music]

I guess oh my God

fit the

whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa dude

it's 5 a.m We were so close

hit that end wait

save them is the greatest FNAF game ever

made nothing else even comes close oh my

God between its incredible visuals that

recreate every location and every

animatronic from every FNAF game the

terrifying scares and the ridiculously

insane final boss fight against

springtrap it's truly hard to believe

that this is a fan made project made by

a single person it's that impressive

however save them has a catch you can

only play it once whether you beat the

game die or even just close the program

after pressing play you can never play

it again you get one shot and after that

the game locks you out from ever making

another attempt thus save them as a

survival horror experience unlike any

other you can't just trial and error

your way through every encounter growing

numb to the scares with each attempt oh

I'm dead I'm dead well we're dead

already you have one life after which

you can never play the game again

one mistake and it's over and that

completely changes the way you

experience save them it creates so much

tension that you can't help but Panic at

every little sound

oh my god of course the game punishes

this as well the player is given a

finite amount of stamina and if you use

it all up it's gone you won't be able to

Sprint for the rest of the game which

will almost certainly result in a game

over thus you want to be cautious but

not too cautious while death does lurk

around every corner if you run from

every little thing that startles you

you'll find yourself out of stamina and

helpless oh my God as the game begins an

adult Michael Afton stumbles into a

surreal dream-like manifestation of

fredbear's Family Diner traumatized by

the tragic events of his childhood and

the ensuing missing children's incidents

at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Michael has

suppressed the memories of everything

that transpired he can't remember any of

it the bite of 83 the five victims of

Freddy's circus baby's Pizza World his

father's horrific fate perhaps some

things are best left forgotten but for

Michael Afton tonight would be one of

solemn remembrance

whoa

this looks

sit down

[Music]

oh there's the theft King Easter egg

already I love it

all right I guess we go up to a Fred

Bear there's nothing else

[Music]

hi

[Music]

hi I'm just gonna ignore that

I'm afraid he's gonna kill me and that's

literally gonna be the end of the run

it's like I'm I'm staying away from the

ghosties

as I walk towards fredbear

to be fair fredbear's not haunted he

just like bit the

[Music]

sick

when we come to we find ourselves in the

snap 4 bedroom our body having somehow

taken on the stature of a child a

one-eyed Freddy plush greets us but

immediately something about it seems off

look at his shadow

that's creepy as hell hopping off the

bed we don't have to go far before

encountering the first nightmare

[Music]

foreign

honestly the fact that like if I die

that's it it's like making me really

nervous here like

I'm playing way more cautiously and I

need to remember not to Sprint because

like once you use your Sprint in this

game that's it it's gone it doesn't

carry over between levels it's like a

finite resource

[ __ ]

oh

[Music]

my gosh that shadow is so creepy

proceeding down the East hallway we

quickly discover that there's a lot more

to the Afton House than the playable

area from FNAF 4.

[Music]

so if you go on game jolt and you look

uh there's the developer listed for this

game but it's pretty obviously an alias

um there's two theories as to who the

developer is uh some people think that

it's like someone who's already well

known for like another like non-fan game

uh series and they didn't want their

name associated with it and then some

people think that it's a member of the

pair so

um those are the two predominant

theories or maybe it's just some random

guy who knows

no

yo okay

I forgot about this yeah this was in the

FNAF 4 house so it makes sense

all right well

I know how to play this

[Music]

oh

[Music]

shh this is actually really intense

got him oh my gosh first try

actually you only get one try so

everything's gonna be first try in this

game ooh a tape

[Music]

is that it I beat the level

[Music]

I feel like there was probably more to

that that we just skipped somehow we

just kind of beelined to to plushtrap

unfortunately the Afton residents would

only be the start of our nightmare

Awakening in the FNAF 2 location we

immediately find ourselves stalked by

the terrifying toy animatronics yo FNAF

2 all right

okay zero four tape so we need to get

four tapes in this level okay

bro can you give me a second at least so

like oh

I'm sure so [ __ ] loud bro

really dude

really yo dog I heard you like Ray

tracing so I put Ray tracing in your ray

tracing as we move through the FNAF 2

location we find that some rooms are

less inviting than others

all right mate yeah mangle's in there

I'm not going in there hell no

we have one chance like I want to

explore but I I have one life like

that's it we can't play the game again

once I die so like

I have to actually like be cautious

cautiously creeping forward we enter one

of the party rooms and have a Fateful

Encounter

the site of the paper Pals fills you

with determination

funny

oh I'm dead I'm dead we're dead already

oh my God

okay I have to be more careful that was

stupid

we have to go really slow in this game

like really slow upon gazing at the

adonic Visage of the paper Pals we're

given a burst of inspiration and

determined Michael sets off to explore

the rest of the pizzeria unfortunately

the animatronics assault had only just

begun and we were about to be introduced

to the levels core mechanic

we need tapes we got to find tapes

dude this is nuts this looks crazy it's

like FNAF on ecstasy

oh there's a tape

nice

what's this

yo look it's supposed to be a ransom

note but it's clearly printed in ink

like that doesn't make oh

what do I do what do I do how do I kill

him how do I kill him

oh duh

all right we killed him

all right so that was the tutorial that

was a tutorial obviously because like it

gave me the prompt like

we have to watch out for foxy for the

rest of this level

it's not it's not gonna like wait for us

next time as withered foxy stalks us

from the Shadows we travel deeper into

the Pizzeria and enter the dining hall

yo

that's hella Ray tracing look at that

look at the floor oh toys all three toy

animatronics are on stage and while they

don't seem to be hostile something about

them just isn't right toys well the toys

weren't like haunted so like they're

like they they shouldn't be a threat to

us I guess oh my God

I forgot about him

if you were gonna kill me you would have

done it so oh there's a tape

you guys aren't gonna kill me right like

yeah if you were gonna kill me you would

have just done it right there so

oh my God

[Music]

this is too much man this is too much

all right give me the tape

okay we just need two more

y'all like creepy creepy [ __ ]

I'm sorry I'm sorry y'all are you are

you know it with the second tape in hand

we depart the stage and head towards an

ominous green light shining in the

corner of the room loyal theorists will

know that green is commonly associated

with Charlotte Emily the spirit

possessing the puppet and sure enough

upon approaching

foreign

oh

give me that

[Music]

get your Christmas tree looking ass out

of here puppet

thank you for the tape though

[Music]

uh let's check the back office

I bet the last tapes in here actually

yeah that makes sense

oh my God

okay

okay upon barricading ourselves in the

parts and service route we discover just

how non-linear this game is throughout

the rumor several interactable objects

that seem to take you to different

levels but they all required collectible

items that I hadn't found it's crazy to

think that someone playing this game

after me might have a completely

different experience press e

requires five remnant

I don't have any remnant

where do you get remnant

press e to enter Fazbear Hills requires

two fast tokens

okay we need to find Remnant and fast

tokens

[Music]

Pizza World

requires one remnant dude I don't have

any of this I don't have any remnant

out if I get killed by a freaking

mannequin as we cautiously explore

Fazbear's frights strange things begin

happening to Michael first he encounters

a weird foxy mask on the wall and when

he goes to activate it well what's the

point of this mask

mask is
