Back in September, 2014, I overheard many of my classmates talking about PewDiePie and other playing this "Friday Night at Freddy's" game(I at first thought that was the title). I thought it was a game where you were in an old restaurant that had haunted animal dolls, and I also thought Bonnie was a dog/wolf XD.

Eventually, I found a "FNaF in Minecraft" video by DanTDM. After watching it, it seemed a little interesting, so I looked into it a little more.

I saw other YouTubers play it, and also learned about Foxy. I even remember having this dream related to the game a few days later of my discovery. Anyways, I kept looking into it, and I was hooked.

I built the location in Minecraft, and watched videos related to the game, such as the "Not Scary" videos. As time went on, I made up my own fan-game in November of 2014, shortly after the first image Candy the Cat was realesed(though he didn't at all inspire Barney Buncat I MEAN Frisky Frycat). I even remember seeing the first gameplay of FNaF 2.

I've loved FNAF ever since, and still do today, despite the cringe-inducing side of it.
