I never really found FnaF all that scary honestly, not coming in like some elitist. Everyone has different levels of fear they can handle, I just found it cheap and very...jump scarey, wasn't really my thing.
So I ended up reading reddit (I love the theories that surround the possible in game story) and found a gem:
Also it looks like all of the old animatronics are in the game as phantoms. Buh..
It's okay. I don't need sleep
What if the golden suit the killer wore....was this one...the mechanism failed like you said...the killer/purple guy is now trapped inside of springtrap. Hence the decaying heart, brain...other human bits. Plus the "we have a place for him" him meaning the killer the place being inside of the suit...guys...guys I figured something out I think!
The Night 5 minigame confirms it.

So, I watched someone last night play Five Night's at Freddy's 3 on Twitch and reveal the "Good" ending.
Mad spoilers under the cut.
Mad spoilers under the cut.
I know a lot of people are saying the story seems to have nothing to do with the other games, but I'm not so sure. I've seen Game Theory's episodes on it and it started to make me think that Springtrap has been around longer than we have thought. Remember how they tell you over the phone that there was a spare golden costume in the back? Everyone assumes that's Golden Freddy, but what if the costume the killer used was actually Springtrap (who also has a golden color) from the start? This also fits into the theory from Game Theory (on YouTube) about the first game relating to an actual incident in 1993, and Golden Freddy is actually the one that "got away", and not the suit the killer used.
And the mini-games in the 3rd game end with the last one as you playing the supposed Marionette child's spirit, who was assumed to be the phantom first child killed by the purple man/killer way back when Freddy's place was a family diner (again, this is all based on a theory). And in the end, you see his spirit chasing the purple man in the "safe" room where the animatronics can't go. The killer gets in the suit and laughs, thinking he's escaped, but Springtrap strikes and he gets killed right there in the suit. Playing through the game regularly, you get the bad ending doing ONLY this. At the end, you see the animatronic masks with lit up eyes below the "Bad Ending" title.
Now the interesting thing I noted from the guy who played last night to get the "Good" ending, was that ending screen. I'll get to that in a second. First of all, to achieve the "good ending", there's a series of hidden easter egg mini-games that you have to play at the start of each night and find the special ending to those mini-games (playing different animatronic characters in each game) where you give cake to the crying Marionette child. If they are all completed with the special ending (instead of just going through the exit), while the last mini-game with the child and Springtrap turns out the same, the interesting thing is the FINAL screen. Now it just says "The End" and the masks below, instead of having lit up eyes, have now gone out.
The childrens' spirits have been appeased. Or so it's theorized. And it makes sense. That would be the best ending.

I left the fandom due to how toxic it is on tumblr, as did a lot of people (including those who made it so big in the first place). It's hard to enjoy something when people are so mean. I wasn't the least bit excited or happy when I found out the third one came out.

Is it actually confirmed to be over?
not like it matters if the dev says it's over because like all horror it has to drag on
I like the stories and details behind the game more than the gameplay itself. It fascinates me for some weird reason. Of course like something else I like (Sonic) furries just love to ruin things with sexualizing it. Meh, I don't look for it and I don't go near places that have that stuff. So far I found no Foxy's hook is places it shouldn't be.

I feel much the same. I don't even like horror games or the thought of scaring myself silly, but I do like the theories and lore that people have made and developed about this series. And that spans from potential inspirations for the series (for instance, one that I'm fond of that was discussed via Game Theory's theories about the first game), to thoughts and theories about the animatronics, the children, and everything else. I don't think it's strange to be fascinated by it. The games have tons of hidden gems and little things that you can pick up as you go to piece the story and theories together. It gives what could have been a plain horror game lots of actual depth beyond the horror and jumpscares, and that's what I find so interesting about it.

Pretty much the same. I love lore for most games TBH. This one is fascinating.
But **** jumpscares I won't play a game with the most overused trope ever. >.>

If anyone has actually finished the game, you'll know that (spoiler alert) the spirits occupying the animatronics are set free. It's sad, to be honest. They were just kids, and they were killed. The reason they acted normal to children was because they were children themselves, but they seen every adult as a killer because of what happened to them. Now that the murderer is dead, their spirits can be set free. If Scott decides not to make another Five Nights at Freddy's game, I don't think there's a better way to end the series than that.

All I've seen of Five Nights At Freddy's 3 at this point is the Let's Play (or Play Pals? I forget) that Rooster Teeth / Achievement Hunter's Michael and Gavin did some time yesterday. A part two is supposed to be released soon, and it was put out out of order, with their Play Pals segment for FNAF 2 being released later this week...? I have no idea what they're doing over there at the moment
But yeah, I gotta say, from what I saw it wasn't as scary as the first, by any means. Just an unnecessary amount of jump scares, and I'm not a fan of those. Haven't seen much of the second at all, if anything - my memory's spotty today, sorry - so I can't comment on that, but eh. Seems like there's less tension, it's less... atmospheric? Again, not very articulate, I'm super out of it right now. But I'm kind of disappointed, to say the least. I'll have to see more and hope it makes up for it.

Watching it is really not a good way to guesstimate how bad it can be. When watching it I didn't have any issues at all. Playing it on the other hand.. well it was definitely one of the most stressful games I've ever played. I find the third one to be the worst with this just because of how unpredictable certain movements can be and the fact you can see outside the tablet screen when something's coming at you. It's absolutely stressful.

The second game still ranks in the most difficult for me. I've been able to get Spring Bonnie/Springtrap/etc in 3 to stay in rooms 9 and 10 for pretty much every night.
But in terms of being disturbing and making me paranoid, yeah, FNAF3 takes the cake. Watching Freddy limp down the hallway past your window and having Foxy and Mangle and BB(and even the puppet) pop up randomly with jumpscares all lined up together just kills me. If you've figured out the minigames and gotten the good ending though it kind of makes it all worth it, story-wise.
Screw mangle though.
