Popgoes isn't supposed to 100% match up with the FNAF lore. It's supposed to take place in an alternate universe. Also in my opinion FNAF 3 actually takes place in 2023. The Steam pages' description says it takes place 30 years after FNAF 1. FNAF 1 takes place in 993 according to Mike's minimum wage. 1993 + 30 = 2023
