History TearJerker / DayshiftAtFreddys

While it looks like just pure comedy on the surface, ''VisualNovel/DayshiftAtFreddys'' has a surprising level of emotional depth that stands out from other VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys fangames

''Due to most of these examples appearing in the endings, spoilers will be unmarked. (These examples are in effect for Dayshift at Freddy’s 3 as well.) '''You have been warned.'''''

---> '''Phone Guy''': W-''What? You're just gonna go and get a job at another Freddy's location?'' I swear, (Player), I'll ''never'' understand that. You're finally free, after a year of ''slavery... and you'd just come back, willingly?'' The other locations aren't any better, y'know. They're just like this one. Sure, the robots may a little different in every joint. But, no matter what... ''You'll see death.'' Dead nightguards... dead children... You'll see the same excuses, each and every time. More ''managers...'' ...who are ''all'' just like me... For the first time, there's nothing forcing you to come back to Freddy's. Why don't you just run, and never come back? '''I would.'''

* [[WordOfGod According to a Reddit AMA,]] [=DirectDoggo=] has said that the endings to [=DSaF=] 3 are supposed to be ''even more'' emotional than [=DSaF=] 2's endings. Link [[https://www.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/85psqs/dsaf_update_200318_and_faqama/ here]]
---> '''[=DirectDoggo=]''': If the bad ending of [=DSaF=] 2 made you cry, I'd avoid the bad ending of [=DSaF=] 3, heh heh... Same for the respective good endings.
* On the {{Website/GameJolt}} page for [=DSaF=] 3, it turns out he's [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments dedicating the game to his friend Jess,]] as she's currently fighting a battle with lymphatic cancer.

* While the Happiest Day/Perfect endings are [[TearJerker Tearjerking]] in a [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Heartwarming way,]] The [[KillEmAll Pure]] [[BadEnding Evil]] ending is [[TearJerker Tearjerking]] in a [[NightmareFuel Nightmarish way.]]

* The Perfect Ending's epilogue. Jack (What you need to name Old Sport/Jack in order to fill the first criteria of this ending) goes to the Kennedy residence, with the saddest look on his face (the one that provides the page image). Peter (Phone Guy) asks him why he's there at the current hour, and Jack tells him that he has nowhere else to go.

** After you defeat Henry, everyone on your team is freed, and can all go to their Happiest Day.... except for you. Everyone thanks you and says goodbye, except for Dave. You tell him that you can’t join them in the after life. When Dave is heartbroken that you can’t join them, you give him your soul, so that he didn’t have to be alone anymore. Dave says goodbye and you’re returned from the flipside, in your burning pizzeria. You see The Real Fredbear, you nod at him, and you die happy knowing that everyone can finally rest.
* Dave’s goodbye and you giving your soul to him is both heartwarming and tearjerking.
** The final shot with the graves of the five main characters is both sad and relieving at the same time. A satisfying end to a good series.

** When you confront Dave in the Saferoom, he [[NotSoDifferent tells you the two of you are not so different]], and leaves you with a chilling but accurate statement:

---> '''Phone Guy''': Oh, (Player)... I'm so sorry. I sometimes forget you're so lonely. Y'know, [[WindowsOfTheSoul I can see it in your eyes.]] Even when you're in a suit, I can see it. There's something about the way that you stand. When you stand by yourself, you look like the loneliest creature on earth.

** After the end of Friday, you're treated to a cutscene showing what happened before The Real Fredbear brought Old Sport back to life, and the promise Old Sport made for him. It starts off with some all too familiar dialogue:

---> '''Old Sport''': I P R O M I S E

---> (Old Sport crawls out of the Fredbear suit and the cutscene ends)

---> '''Old Sport''': I don't have anywhere else to go.

** The final scene is probably the most emotional scene in the series, both [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments with joy]] and with sadness, with Old Sport apologizing to all the spirits for everything Fazbender corporation has put them through.
---> '''Old Sport''': On behalf of Fazbender entertainment... ...We're sorry. We're sorry that we were the reason... ...that none of you got to grow up... that none of you got to return home... and that your parents... never got to find out what you all became. And I'm so sorry... that I had a part in all of this... for that... we're sincerely sorry.
---> '''Puppet''': ''[[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre You're better than the whole rotten bunch of them put together, Old Sport.]]''
*** The ending would be more heartwarming if it weren't for the fact that Old Sport [[BarredFromTheAfterlife sacrificed his ability to pass on]] [[HeroicSacrifice so he could save everyone.]]

---> '''Old Sport''': I understand. Goodbye Puppet.
*** Old Sport's hug with the Puppet. You just can't help but tear up. Especially with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzRInB_BLYo the music.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPuIF9kZZQY&t=1s See the scene for yourself (Around the 1:11:00 mark)]]

Peter (Phone Guy) asks him why he's there at the current hour, and Jack tells him that he has nowhere else to go.

---> '''Old Sport''': Fine, fine, I get it.

---> '''Old Sport''': No. Of course they wouldn't have wanted this. But... '''I do'''
--->(Old Sport kills Fredbear)
---> '''Old Sport''': [[KickTheDog Nothing of value was lost.]]
*** The ending gets even sadder if you look at it from Fredbear's perspective. The very man he brought back to life, the very man who ''promised to save William and Henry's victims'', betrayed his trust, killed 10 more kids [[note]]You have to select the Gnarly ending for which ending you want to continue from the first game in order to get this ending[[/note]], and then told him that he was a complete and utter failure as a protector and that it's all his fault that the kids are dead, because he brought Old Sport back to life. What he says strikes Fredbear so hard that ''his defense drops to zero and he loses the will to fight.'' [[TheWoobie Poor, poor Fredbear.]]

*** Something even worse is that this is true for ''every'' Phone guy in any Freddy's establishment (Except for the Colorado Phone Guy, as all their FakeMemories seem to belong to him).
