3/3 Thats what I mean by World's messy canon I dont think you're meant to think about the angry game dev stuff too hard. I dont think 4s final speaker is actually having a fued with some indie dev lol.

2/3 Not to say that it cant currently be the case, more like when World was released I dont think you were supposed to take the stuff that didnt have clear canon ties very seriously and think about it too hard.

1/3 Not totally sure if World is included in the whole indie games plot but I wouldnt at all be surprised if it is.

That being said I doubt World was made with that intent given that plotline was made to justify Help Wanted being a canon game, which only came about two years after World.

He called it tied to canon, which the clock route undeniably is. FNaF is no stranger to being messy with canon and I dont see why World wouldn't be.

None of this is to say World has no bearing on canon, I just wouldnt call it quite mainline with how meta it gets.

Thats not even counting the Halloween area full of games made by desk man that has characters of questionable canonicity, and characters from Scott's previous games reappearing in World like Coffee or Flan.

World is a game thats aware its a game and Animdude refers to himself as the storyteller who's grown sick of his fans. Hes also frequently referred to as the puppet master and even called the heart of what's corrupting world by Fredbear. Like what is this meant to stand in for in universe?

Okay but World frequently breaks the fourth wall, there's even an attack joking about it.

Chipper talks about how we wanted to be scared and his world fell into obscurity because of that. Fredbear and desk man reference World initially bombing. Neither of these really make sense in universe.

The game with multiple fourth wall breaks and Scott Cawthon as the main antagonist is as canon as UCN?

FNAF World is AS CANON as UCN.

Where is UCN? Where is William?

He's in the lake in the bottom of the FNAF World code. We see and hear Wiliam screaming down there in the OMC game.

And DeeDee, who FISHES in the LAKE and has her EXACT FNAF WORLD MODEL is one of our main antagonists.

Does Freddy eat honey? No. That is because he is an animatronic. Please learn to separate reality from fantasy next time.

Fun Fact!

Did you know the radio you hear in FNaF 4 is a reversed version of the FNaF 1 Night 1 call? It's even called call3 in the files!

Well fun fact! Said radio is actually much more likely to play on Night 1 than it is on any other night!
