4	So you've just died.
5
6	For whatever reason, you've kicked the bucket — you must've made a horrible mistake in your past that led to your undoing. Maybe you haven't. Perhaps [[DrivenToSuicide it was on purpose...]] It matters nothing now — where are you exactly?
7
8	You're in purgatory, pretty much. Though if you take a look around, you may notice that it looks... familiar, too. Yeah, this place is pretty much [[WhereItAllBegan Fredbear's Family Diner]], combined with the place you were in when you died. And that place must've been filthy too, given how muddy and worn down your purgatory looks.
9
10	But you're not alone — there are some manifestations around here too. The puppet pulling their strings tried to make physical bodies for them... [[MechanicalAbomination it]] [[BodyHorror failed]], needless to say — and they're all probably a bit unstable as a result. But with your instructor Peter with you, you'll eventually get the gist as to how they work... even with more coming your way as your stay continues.
11
12	All you have to do is to survive for twelve nights, 10 to 7.

14	''Dormitabis'' is a ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' fangame developed by Blackout. The game was in DevelopmentHell for two years, and received a surprise release on February 25th, 2018. It serves as a fan-made epilogue of sorts to the series' story, only taking the first four games' lore into account while adding its own. You can play the game [[https://gamejolt.com/games/dormitabis/108410 here]] on [=GameJolt=].
15
16	On July 31st 2023 an official remaster made by Expelled Studios was released. It added new characters, mechanics, and a completely redone story. You can download the remaster [[https://gamejolt.com/games/DormitabisRemastered/720126 here]] on [=GameJolt=]
17	----
18	!!''Dormitabis'' contains the following tropes:
19	* AdaptationNameChange: The Purple Man's name here is Garvey Write, rather than William Afton.
20	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: [[spoiler:Downplayed in the remaster: while Garvey is still a brutal child murderer, his rape of a teenage girl in the original is completely omitted from the game, and he's shown to have cared about John when the two of them were alive, so much so that his killing spree was actually started when he began hunting down the perpetrators of the Bite of '83.]]
21	* AdaptationalVillainy: In the original game, Molten Evil was merely Havoc Puppet's plasma source for the animatronics created in the game. In the remaster, she's upgraded to a GreaterScopeVillain as the puppeteer of the animatronics killing the player. The remaster's Characters page also identifies her as a "powerful, vengeful neglecter", which implies that she may have in some way allowed the Bite of '83 to happen and therefore would be partially responsible for Garvey's subsequent mental deterioration.
22	* AdaptationalWimp: In the remaster, Golden Call attacks the player independently by taking a path to the window behind them, a downgrade from his unison with Havoc Foxy and the voice mail in the original game.
23	* AdaptedOut: [[spoiler: Garvey is absent in the remaster of Nightmare.]]
24	* AfterlifeAngst: [[spoiler:Fritz Smith, the game's technical BigBad and TrueFinalBoss as Cakebear, ''refuses'' to cross over by the time of Night 12. The only reason he's even attacking John still, along with Havoc Puppet, is that they don't want to accept their demise and still yearn for their revenge against Garvey. However, completing this night eventually [[EarnYourHappyEnding has Fritz and the Puppet cross over in the end]], while Garvey is DraggedOffToHell.]]
25	* AirVentPassageway: In Night 10 and the latter half of Night 11, Garvey will attempt to enter the Office through the vents. Avoiding him requires you to reach the far end of the table before he enters the room.
26	* AllJustADream: [[spoiler:The game's technical prequel, ''Insanity'', is set within the mind of Fritz Smith as he slowly dies in the Cakebear suit that he attacks the player through in this game.]]
27	* AlternateContinuity: Although it takes place within the same universe as the first four ''[=FNaF=]'' games, there are two plot points that contradict the established ones:
28	** There was no Freddy's reopening in 1993, the setting of the first ''Five Nights at Freddy's''. Freddy's reopened three times, but they were in 1983 (Fredbear's Family Diner), 1985 (Freddy Fazbear's Pizza), and 1987 (the pizzeria's reopening), after which it closed down for good.
29	** [[spoiler:Phone Guy is killed by the Purple Guy, whereas in ''[=FNaF=]'', he is killed by the animatronics.]]
30	* AttentionWhore:
31	** The majority of the enemies are driven away by looking at them on a constant basis. Havoc Chica, Havoc Foxy, Havoc Puppet, Soulcage, and the B.O.A especially.
32	** As long as AMIREAL is in his ruined state, he also requires your attention, but he doesn't demand for it in terms of his character since he wants the player to look ''away'' from him. AMIREAL is not the one who calls out his location on the cameras when the player needs to stare at him, as the one who does that is Havoc Foxy.
33	** In the FinalBoss battle, [[spoiler:if the player fails to stare at Garvey for even a ''second'' when he enters the office, he will end your run in an instant. Even if Garvey isn't in the office, failing to stare at him on the cameras will drain your power, leading to the same outcome.]]
34	* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:In the original Dormitabis, the Purple Guy, who is named Garvey Write in both versions of the game, is much, much more demented than ''FNAF''[='=]s William Afton. He killed a grand total of ''fourteen'' people, including eleven children (one indirectly), a female teenager (whom he also raped), Phone Guy, and [[CainAndAbel his brother]]. Even after death, he still hunts John to "pay back" what he has done to him and shows no remorse for what he did whatsoever. On top of all this, Garvey's original motivation was to ruin the reputation of the Cakebear (later Fazbear) brand because some of its employees (including John) [[EvilIsPetty made fun of him for his purple skin]], which he calls a "physical mutation" in one of his tapes.]]
35	** While the original Garvey was clearly a powderkeg of hatred, malice and sadism just waiting to be lit up, the remaster scales his crimes back significantly and paints him as more of a victim of SanitySlippage. [[spoiler:Garvey began murdering people to get revenge for John after John became the Bite of '83 victim (though in this timeline John survives), and during his boss fight, Garvey accuses John of being an UngratefulBastard for killing them both despite what Garvey claims to have done for him, though it's clear that he's very much been driven insane by first his murders, then becoming Springtrap and suffering in "purgatory", which he actually believes is Hell.]]
36	* BeatStillMyHeart: The game over screen for Night 10 onward as well as part of the cutscene playing after Night 10 feature a human heart on the office table. Two easter egg screens also show the heart among the animatronics and Garvey staking out Havoc Chica's heart.
37	* BecomeARealBoy: Kind of. The animatronics are horribly mutilated because Havoc Puppet stitched their plasma imperfectly. They hunt John because they think consuming his plasma will complete them.
38	* BigBad: Though AMIREAL/Cakebear is the main antagonist of the nights, he is not the overall main antagonist; that would be [[spoiler:Garvey Write, as the William Afton {{Expy}} who killed the characters possessing the animatronics.]]
39	* BigBadEnsemble: AMIREAL is the most active on-screen enemy, but [[spoiler:Garvey Write]] is the one who killed the children [[spoiler:(and adults)]] in the purgatory in the first place. They are in opposition of each other, however.
40	* BigGood:
41	** Peter Write is this game's Phone Guy, and is ultimately the player's only ally while surrounded by spirits who desire to consume the plasma of the player character's body.
42	** Like [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2 the original Puppet]] who gave life to the first game's animatronics, ''this'' game's Puppet is also the one who gave a form to the [[BodyHorror purgatory animatronics, themselves included]]. Their physical forms are a total mess because [[CameBackWrong Havoc Puppet made little effort in giving them a perfect form]].
43	* BloodierAndGorier: Compared to the official games, which at worst had disembodied eyes in ''1'' and a long-dried-out corpse in ''3''. The game over screens, and three of the animatronics in ''Dormitabis'', meanwhile, all feature lovingly-detailed gore from various people having their bodies crushed in the springlock suits.
44	* BodyHorror:
45	** ''Turned '''all''' the way up for this one, in both versions no less!'' Every single animatronic is absolutely wrecked or {{Gorn}}y, and by all rights should not even function if not for the setting. It's very hard to tell which one is the worst.
46	** A more humanoid example: [[spoiler:In the original, Garvey also has a birth defect, which is likely the game's interpretation about his purple coloration]].
47	* TheCallsAreComingFromInsideTheHouse: When Phone Guy calls the player the first time, while saying his signature "hello?" the original Phone Guy's voice echoes throughout the purgatory. He then adds that he found "you", meaning his spirit was searching around for the PlayerCharacter.
48	* CeilingCling: The Soulcage and [[spoiler:FinalBoss Garvey Write]] cling to the office ceiling in one of each of their attack phases.
49	* CombatTentacles: Havoc Puppet resembles some type of a hellish octopus wearing part of the Puppet's mask.
50	* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: [[spoiler:Springtrap's purgatory state is simply given his real identity's name: Garvey.]]
51	* CompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:Fritz Smith is interpreted as being the Phone Guy from the first and second games; while that is a ''possibility'' in canon, it's never outright stated, and it's just as likely that Fritz was either his own man or an alias for another character, that being Michael Afton]].
52	* CorruptedCharacterCopy: The BigBad and FinalBoss [[spoiler:Garvey Write is depicted as being much worse than William Afton is in the original franchise in the original 2018 game, mostly thanks to Garvey having clearer characterization and crossing the line ''way'' beyond just child murder. In the remaster, Garvey isn't a complete {{Jerkass}} and at least ''thinks'' his evil deeds are for someone else's sake, which actually makes the remastered version of Garvey seem [[VirtuousCharacterCopy morally better than William]]. Of course, William and Garvey are still incredibly evil people, and William is reputable ''because'' he's evil; it's more apparent that this depiction of him alters his characterization in many, many ways that differ from canon.]]
53	* DarkerAndEdgier: Moreso even for this series' pantheon of fangames, as it includes {{Mechanical Abomination}}s, a grimdark aesthetic, [[spoiler:and rape]] — compared to other fangames, it feels downright twisted. It also features actual swearing, something that the original ''[=FNaF=]'' and most fangames readily avoid. The remaster omits the [[spoiler:rape]] detail, but maintains the swearing, aesthetic and BodyHorror designs of the antagonists.
54	* DarknessEqualsDeath: Zig-zagged in the original, where most animatronics have their jumpscares preceded by the lights turning dark. Once the lights turn on, ''BLAM!''. Unsettlingly, this is also how the nights end when they reach 7 AM, making the situation when animatronics are about to kill you when the clock transitions to 7 AM a HopeSpot.
55	** The remaster actually manages to [[InvertedTrope Invert]] this. The jumpscares now occur without the early warning of the lights turning off, which makes them much more startling than in the original, but keeps the lights-turning-off effect for the transition to 7AM.
56	* DeadToBeginWith: Your protagonist is killed off before the game started and he is spending the next eleven nights in a purgatory of some sort.
57	* DemonicPossession: All animatronics, more or less.
58	** Havoc Freddy, Havoc Chica, and Havoc Foxy are possessed by Ted, Maria, and Dave (Jack in the remaster), [[spoiler:three of the four children whom Garvey killed in the 1985 restaurant]].
59	** AMIREAL is possessed and contains the corpse of [[spoiler:Fritz Smith, the Phone Guy from the first two ''Five Nights at Freddy's'' games]].
60	** In the original, Molten Evil is possessed by [[spoiler:the teenage girl Garvey raped in the 1983 restaurant]]. In the remaster where this particular detail has been removed, Molten Evil's true name is glitched out in the extras menu, making it unclear what her name is, although she's stated to have been a "powerful, vengeful neglecter".
61	** The Soulcage is possessed by Jake, [[spoiler:one of the children Garvey killed in the 1985 restaurant]].
62	** Havoc Puppet is possessed by Tom, [[spoiler:Garvey's first victim]].
63	** Golden Call is possessed by Kyle, [[spoiler: who in the original was the Bite of '83 victim]], but the body contained within is [[spoiler:Peter Write, this game's Phone Guy]]. In the remaster, [[spoiler:John Write is confirmed as the Bite victim (although he survived) while Kyle is one of Garvey's murder victims]].
64	** The B.O.A is possessed by [[spoiler:the five children Garvey killed in the 1987 restaurant in the original. In the remaster, only three of those five children possess the B.O.A. and are named Natalie, Joe and Bryce.]].
65	** Garvey is possessed and contains the body of [[spoiler:[[ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames Garvey Write]], the Purple Guy]].
66	** Havoc Bonnie in the remaster is possessed by Michael, [[spoiler:the 17-year-old boy who found Maria's corpse inside Chica and was then murdered by Garvey in an attempt to cover up her murder.]]
67	** Havoc BB and JJ in the remaster are possessed by [[Literature/HanselandGretel Hans and Greta]], [[spoiler:two of the five children that Garvey trapped to starve to death in the 1987 restaurant, the others being the children that possess the B.O.A]].
68	** Dawnbreaker in the remaster is confirmed to be [[spoiler:"the manifestation of a long-lost family member", although it's unclear who he was before ending up in purgatory. WordofGod reveals Dawnbreaker was a manifestation of Garvey's humanity trying to help John.]]
69	** Played with in the case of Spring-Lich in the remaster, who's stated to be a [[spoiler:"terrifying being from hell", making it uncertain whether Spring-Lich is an existing form possessed by a demon, or if it ''IS'' the demon itself.]]
70	* DisproportionateRetribution: A particularly disturbing example, [[spoiler:although the remaster tones it down somewhat. In both versions of the game, Garvey kills fourteen people and stuffs their bodies into animatronic suits (one body is stuffed in a dumpster) specifically to destroy the reputation of the Cakebear's (later Freddy's) brand. In the original, Garvey also [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil sexually assaults one of his victims]] and is motivated by a [[EvilisPetty hatred of the Cakebear's staff for making fun of his purple skin defect]], while in the remaster, Garvey is [[KnightTemplarBigBrother very overprotective of his brother John]], leading him to kill a child for bullying John in 1982, then slide further into his budding insanity when John is nearly killed during the Bite of '83. Garvey then decides to ruin his brother Peter for owning the Fazbear franchise and "allowing" John to be hurt and kills his other victims to make Peter and the franchise look bad]].
71	* DontLookAtMe:
72	** Havoc Freddy is driven away when the player hides from him by running to the opposite side of the office, therefore getting out of his view.
73	** AMIREAL's mechanic revolves around whether the player is looking at him via the cameras. He doesn't want the player to look at him so he can stay in his ruined form, which allows him to attack the player. Staring at him reverts him to his Cakebear form, in which he is harmless. He operates similarly to an AttentionWhore type of enemy during the main nights, except the player doesn't ''constantly'' have to look at him; he only calls for your attention when he's in a ruined state, at which point the player needs to look at him to drive him away. This does not apply to [[PostFinalBoss Night 12]], in which [[spoiler:he is in his Cakebear form and remains hostile. In that case, however, the player ''has to'' avoid looking at him, as doing so when he enters the office is what causes him to attack.]]
74	** Molten Evil is driven away by looking up at the ceiling and averting your eyes whenever he/[[GenderFlip she]] appears in your office.
75	* EarnYourHappyEnding: Clearing Cakebear's Night leads to the Good Ending. [[spoiler:Garvey is DraggedOffToHell, enabling John, the children, Phone Guy, and Peter to pass on peacefully.]]
76	* EasterEgg: Several:
77	** Rarely when hanging up a call, the monitor [[spoiler:simply shows the two words "HANG UP". Then "UP" disappears, before showing you a tinge of BlackComedy: a screen of a man [[{{Pun}} being hung to death.]] In the image, a sign says "All quiet, for you to concentrate", muting all sound except for the jumpscares.]]
78	** There are also some rare screens: one shows a crude paper-mache animation of Purple Man writing something — likely planning out his murders — as an ambient version of "The Grandfather's Clock" plays in the background. Another shows Golden Call sitting on the office chair limp, a third shows multiple animatronics from the game laying dead, and one with [[spoiler:Garvey]] and Havoc Chica.
79	** There is a slightly more lighthearted one where you have to tap AMIREAL's nose rapidly as intensifying drums play in the background. Soon AMIREAL will become [[spoiler:Cakebear, the "Give Cake to the Children" Freddy from ''2'', before jumpscaring you and, if you have all 3 keys, granting you access to Night 12]]. The remaster also has this minigame, although with a different soundtrack and requiring you to type in a number every so often.
80	** If you notice, the dumpster seen in CAM 1 in Cakebear's Night [[spoiler:contains a corpse. It's likely that this is Garvey's first victim, the child who is killed in the "Give Cake" minigame from ''Five Nights at Freddy's 2'', implying that this was the night when Garvey killed him/her and the last night before Cakebear's had to close its doors]].
81	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:In the original, by far the ''only'' thing that Garvey seems to regret is having to murder his brother Peter to cover his tracks. [[SubvertedTrope Although the Extras menu implies that he got over it and thinks of it as just another kill on his list.]]]]
82	-->[[spoiler:The "[[ItIsDehumanizing person]]" whose fault all of this is. No signs of regret, even after all these years.]]
83	** [[spoiler: The remaster seems to play this straight at least in regards to Garvey’s relationship with John as he tries to throw John a birthday party and becomes upset when he’s hurt... Until the tenth night anyways.]]
84	* EvilSoundsDeep:
85	** [[spoiler:Garvey in his purgatory form.]]
86	** AMIREAL/Cakebear when changing cameras. A croaky, deep echoing voice saying the camera number will be heard.
87	* EvilTakesANap: The reason the game is called "Dormitabis" is because the spirits rotate every night due to their sleep patterns.
88	* FanSequel: For ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3'', based on the original franchise's story up to ''4'', being set after [[spoiler:the Fazbear's Fright attraction burned down at the end of that game. The protagonist of that game died from that fire and is in purgatory, who is identified as John Write. He also brought [[BigBad Springtrap]] with him, of whom is identified as "Garvey Write" in this game.]]
89	* ForcedIntoEvil: Golden Call contains [[spoiler:the remains of this game's Phone Guy, Peter Write, but the soul of Kyle, one of Garvey's spiteful victims, essentially meaning that Peter is killing the player in the form of his dead remains but has no control over it since someone else is in control of his body.]]
90	* ForDoomTheBellTolls: This plays thrice at the start of every night in the purgatory, [[spoiler:but it doesn't play on the 12th night, which takes place at Cakebear's]].
91	* GenderFlip: In the remaster, Molten Evil is female instead of male.
92	* GreaterScopeVillain: Garvey Write, who is the game's interpretation of the Purple Man. [[spoiler:He appears again as the FinalBoss. Although he isn't the last threat in the game; that would go to Cakebear and Havoc Puppet on Night 12.]]
93	* HarderThanHard: Night 11/Nightmare is every single animatronic introduced up to that point attacking John all at once. [[spoiler:In the remaster, Garvey's inclusion among all of them in the last hour is cut out.]]
94	* HateSink: [[spoiler:Garvey. He has absolutely ''no'' justification for anything he does in this game and in fact believes he's ''right'' to have killed people out of spite, even though, as we see throughout this whole game, '''his victims are suffering in the afterlife thanks to him'''. This only applies to the original version, whom has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, compared to [[AdaptationalNiceGuy remastered Garvey]].]]
95	* HellIsThatNoise: Basically every sound you hear in this game, from the creak when an animatronic opens a door, to Havoc Puppet's music box, to Garvey's deep laugh. What is worse, you will find yourself increasingly relying on them to escape death, as there is little time for you to check on the animatronics visually in later nights.
96	* HelpfulMook: Zig-Zagged.[[spoiler: Dawnbreaker will advance you to 7 AM if you find him within a set period of time, but will otherwise hit you with a kill screen similar to Molten Evil's if you're not fast enough.]]
97	* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:Garvey seemed to have regretted killing Peter… but ''also'' has no qualms about hunting down John, even in the afterlife.]]
98	* InterfaceScrew:
99	** Molten Evil will eventually blur the screen a while after it appears. This is an indication for you to look at the ceiling, which wards it away.
100	** The security cams in Night 10 and the latter half of Night 11 are distorted. They're not needed anyway, as Garvey only pops up in the vent cams, which are still available.
101	* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: [[spoiler:After dying in the Fazbear's Fright fire, Garvey was sent to purgatory and gained his current form... which actually made him ''stronger''. He evades punishment for his crimes after attacking John during Night 10, and the player receives a Bad Ending by default, with Garvey defiling John's grave. However, by Night 11, Garvey is eventually DraggedOffToHell while his victims move on, which is the game's GoldenEnding.]]
102	* KillerGameMaster: [[spoiler:Havoc Puppet in the Cardboard Theater, who will eliminate the player (Garvey) upon failure.]]
103	* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler:The game doesn't kick into overdrive with its horror elements when the main enemies introduced up to the Box of Abominations are present. That's only when Garvey is introduced in Night 10, at which point the atmosphere changes ''completely'' to fit his madness as the main villain who caused everything.]]
104	* KnightTemplarBigBrother: [[spoiler:In the remaster, while alive, Garvey is shown to be '''EXTREMELY''' overprotective of his brother John, to the point that he becomes a serial killer in an attempt to avenge John's injury from the Bite of '83. Averted later on after Garvey loses what's left of his sanity from becoming Springtrap and attempts to attack John during the events of FNAF 3, then again in purgatory during night 10]].
105	* TheManBehindTheMan: In this game's case, [[spoiler:Garvey Write is the BigBad who caused the animatronics to become what they are.]]
106	* ManySpiritsInsideOfOne: Golden Call's original spirit is [[spoiler:Kyle, who in the original was the Bite of '83 victim but in the remaster is one of Garvey's direct victims]], but the human body you see inside is [[spoiler:Peter Write]]. Meanwhile, the B.O.A is possessed by ''five'' people, [[spoiler:Garvey's victims from the 1987 restaurant]].
107	* MascotVillain: [=AMIREAL=]/Cakebear/[[spoiler:Fritz Smith]], the essential BigBad.
108	* MathematiciansAnswer: One of the loading screen tips:
109	-->These tips might solve your problems.
110	* MeaningfulName: "Dormitabis" is Latin for "you will slumber". It refers to the cycle of slumber that the animatronics undergo throughout the game, which prevents them from ganging up on you all at once (until Nightmare Mode). It can also refer to the fact that the animatronics desire for the protagonist to nap (i.e., be caught off-guard), in other words, slumber.
111	* MonsterProgenitor: [[spoiler:In this case, it's [=AMIREAL/Cakebear=], being the first animatronic to contain a body. Specifically, it's the body of Fritz Smith from ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2''. In another sense, it's also Havoc Puppet, containing the soul of Garvey's first victim.]]
112	* MultipleEndings:
113	** The first occurs after completing Night 10: after surviving the night, the player must fend Garvey off one final time [[spoiler:via tapping the space bar]]. Then a screen appears showing [[spoiler:John's grave, describing him as a "brat, scum and a waste of air", along with a present that seems to be leaking a dark fluid with a note that says "See you soon"]]. It is left ambiguous as to whether [[spoiler:John escaped purgatory or 'died']].
114	** The second occurs after completing Night 11. [[spoiler:A crying child that resembles the Puppet informs you of Night 12 and the way to unlock it, in which the method can be found below.]]
115	** Another is the GoldenEnding. [[spoiler:After collecting three keys [[note]]one via completing Nightmare, another via collecting all 10 tapes, and the last via listening to the 10th tape[[/note]] and playing the AMIREAL EasterEgg, Night 12 will be unlocked. After completing it, the box from ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4'' appears. Click the locks and it gives you newspapers reporting the incidents throughout the Fazbear legacy[[note]]or rather the first four games[[/note]], before the masks of each animatronic appear around the box. ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3'''s ending music plays in the background, "Fin" appears on screen, and the game cuts to credits.]]
116	* MundaneMadeAwesome: [[spoiler: The Cakebear / AMIREAL minigame required to unlock Night 12 requires you to type the code Dave gives you while distracting Cakebear from attacking you by clicking his nose as often and as fast as you can. The resulting encounter is set to a synth rock anthem, set amongst the flames of Fazbear's Fright as foreshadowing for a future fangame remaster is showcased, as if it were a final boss all its own. All for the act of ''aggressively honking a robotic bear's nose''.]]
117	* NeverMyFault: In the remaster, [[spoiler: Garvey states in his seventh tape that the Fazbear brand is causing misery to all even though Garvey is a big part of the misery with his killings. However, Garvey is in full-blown SanitySlippage by this point, so this truly being a part of his character is somewhat questionable]].
118	* NightmareFetishist: [[spoiler:Garvey in the tapes of the original version is downright AxCrazy and is constantly prone to LaughingMad as he describes his crimes in detail]]. This does not apply to the remaster, where [[spoiler:he's somewhat more [[TragicVillain tragic]].]]
119	* NintendoHard: One thing is quite notable about the original game: ''it is '''quite''' challenging'' even on Night 1 (though the remaster changes this, making Night 1 almost trivial since Havoc Freddy is easy to deal with by himself). Also, you have to spend nine hours instead of six and twelve nights instead of seven. [[spoiler:Especially when [[FinalBoss Garvey]] pops up in Night 10 and the latter half of 11.]] The remaster is much more forgiving even on the later nights, with the characters having much more balanced gameplay than their original counterparts.
120	* NotSoDifferentRemark: [[spoiler:Garvey says so in Night 11 of the original as such:]]
121	-->[[spoiler:''(after LaughingMad)'' The world's just as [[PrecisionFStrike fucked up]] as I am! You've done some shit in the past ''that you don't want to admit!'' There are ''so much worse''… than just ''me.'' ''When you see me as a bad guy,'' '''''I'M JUST AHEAD OF THE CURVE!!''''']]
122	* OhCrap: Peter, the game's Phone Guy, reacts this way plenty of times, rather justifiable, especially in the first phone call when the [[{{Foreshadowing}} "stupid yellow bear suit"]] he's wearing clicks and makes noise. [[spoiler:When he realizes Garvey is the one who's been interrupting everyone's slumber cycle the whole time and has infiltrated the purgatory on Night 9, before Garvey debuts in Night 10, however, he's absolutely ''freaking out''.]]
123	* OminousMusicBoxTune: Havoc Puppet's appearance is heralded by a music box tune playing in the Office.
124	* PaedoHunt: [[spoiler:Note Garvey's choice of words when describing one of his victims in the original.]]
125	-->[[spoiler:Here's this hot 15 year old who was part of the kid's ''friends''' group…]]
126	* PlayerCharacter: A soul who seeks to escape purgatory. His name is John, [[spoiler:was the protagonist of ''3'', and is a survivor of the Missing Children Incident]]. In the remastered version, [[spoiler:while was still the protagonist of ''3'', he was instead the victim of the Bite of '83.]]
127	* PostFinalBoss: Cakebear's Night is actually easy to clear if you know what to do (focus on Havoc Puppet and ignore Cakebear as much as you can, though you also have to balance you battery usage to avoid being stuck recharging while Cakebear is present). There are also only three cameras to monitor. It's definitely not as nerve-wrecking as Night 11.
128	* ThePowerOfHate: The animatronics are described as being motivated by their uncertainty and confusion, being children (most of them, at least), and "aren't mentally stable". [[spoiler:Garvey, on the other hand, is driven purely by anger. In the original, this anger is also mingled with Garvey's innate madness and evil, while in the remaster this is downplayed since Garvey isn't himself anymore, his already fragile sanity having been completely destroyed by his death and transformation into his purgatory form. In the tapes he records for John in the remaster, Garvey's also shown to be aware(and not happy) that he's slowly turning into the monster that he's always feared he would become. In one of his final tapes, Garvey actually outright warns John that by the time they next meet, he [[ThatManIsDead "won't be him anymore"]] and tells John to find and stop his future self to put an end to everything.]]
129	* PurgatoryAndLimbo: The game is set in a purgatory where the enemies are children (and adults) who are unwilling to pass on since they are driven by rage, which is part of why they're stuck there. [[ItsUpToYou The player, John Write,]] has to help them find peace and finally cross over.
130	* RapeAsDrama: [[spoiler:It is made very clear that Garvey raped a 15-year-old female during his spree of murders.]] The remaster excises this detail entirely.
131	* RedEyesTakeWarning: It's not that obvious since they're behind [[EyeScream the popped-out human eyes]], but Golden Call has red mechanical pinprick eyes, and he is one of the ''most'' aggressive characters in the game.
132	* RedRightHand: [[spoiler:In the original game, Purple Guy's coloration is not symbolic; he was born with a skin defect, which caused him to have purple skin. This is omitted in the remaster, which makes his coloration purely symbolic.]]
133	* RefugeInAudacity: AMIREAL's mere presence as a spirit is viewed as this by the Phone Guy, who considers it absurd that the plasma making up his form causes him to ''glitch in and out of existence''.
134	* TheReveal:
135	** [[spoiler:Garvey is the ''real'' cause of the animatronics' slumber cycles. He's been hiding behind the scenes the whole time, and he has been messing with their minds and confusing them by spreading turmoil while infiltrating the purgatory. Understandably, Peter is terrified when he finds this out.]]
136	** [[spoiler:Garvey[[note]]Purple Man[[/note]], Alex[[note]]the founder of Cakebear's[[/note]], Peter[[note]]the instructor of the game[[/note]], and John[[note]]PlayerCharacter of the game[[/note]] are all brothers. Garvey, as Springtrap, died in Fazbear's Fright's fire along with John.]]
137	* RotatingProtagonist: Well, villains. Unlike in ''[=FNaF=]'', which adds an animatronic every few nights without removing them, thus stacking the challenge, each night features a different set of animatronics. For example, Night 2 doesn't feature Havoc Freddy, despite his appearing in the previous night. In fact, this is what the title alludes to; animatronics who don't attack you are slumbering (Latin: ''dormito'').
138	* SentientPhlebotinum: Molten Evil is the embodiment of the plasma source that Havoc Puppet used to create the animatronics in this game.
139	* ShoutOut: [[spoiler:In Night 11, Garvey states that he is [[Film/TheDarkKnight ahead of the curve]]... you know, just like ''[[ComicBook/TheJoker another]]'' purple-clad murderer with a SlasherSmile!]]
140	* TheSociopath: In both the original and the remaster, the one thing consistent about [[spoiler:Garvey Write is that he is an emotionless, remorseless being who can no longer be considered human, even in his characterization as an extremist, as he merely makes excuses.]]
141	* SoftSpokenSadist: [[spoiler: Garvey is much quieter in the remaster though he’s still fully intending to kill John. At least until 5am where he snaps.]]
142	* SoleSurvivor: [[spoiler:In the original, Alex is the sole surviving Write brother. However, he has to live knowing that his legacy had been completely tarnished by Garvey's double-digit murders. Averted in the remaster, where it's indicated that he [[DrivenToSuicide took his own life]] due to the horror and ruination Garvey's actions caused.]]
143	* TakingYouWithMe:
144	** [[spoiler:John Write is revealed to have done this in the aftermath of ''Five Nights at Freddy's 3''. He stopped his brother, Garvey/Purple Guy, from escaping Fazbear's Fright by setting it on fire, killing them both.]]
145	** [[spoiler:Among Garvey's ramblings in Night 10, he vows to drag John to Hell with him. In the Bad Ending, he succeeds. In the Good Ending, he doesn't and is instead sent to hell on his own while the spirits of his victims (and John) pass on peacefully to the afterlife.]]
146	* ThatManIsDead: In the remaster, [[spoiler:one of the tapes from right before Garvey became Springtrap is a message to John, begging him to put an end to Garvey's rampage for good, as Garvey has realized what he's become and what he's becoming, and that by the time John is able to put an end to him, "I won't be me anymore". Of course, when John finally confronts Garvey, the latter has completely lost his mind and is trying to justify his monstrous acts.]]
147	* ThoseTwoGuys: Golden Call and Havoc Foxy always come one after another in the original. Averted in the remaster as both have different mechanics.
148	* TragicMonster: As with the original franchise, every antagonist attacking the player in this game has suffered some kind of tragedy to end up in this situation, and said tragedy has transformed them into something animalistic. The exception to this in the original and the remaster is obviously [[spoiler:Garvey Write, as the one who killed the victims that ended up in this situation, of whom is designed to be as despicable as possible, especially in the original version.]]
149	* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: Ignoring [[BigGood Peter Write]] in the original game either leads to John being deafened unless killed if he completely mutes Peter ('mute' is instead called 'hang up', and doing so leads to an image of Peter's body [[HangingAround literally being hung]]), or potentially having Golden Call, of whom contains Peter's remains, appear on the desk and cause the game to crash.
150	* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Garvey slowly loses his cool as Night 10 progresses — first he threatens and taunts you, but his composure slowly deteriorates to the point where he's outright ''demanding John repeatedly'' to let him in and accept his demise. Just compare these two lines from the original:]]
151	-->''(12 AM)'' [[spoiler:Well, this is [[MythologyGag nostalgic]]... [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3 last time we were here]], you feared of mere ''phantoms.'' But now here we are. You're at a dingy office. [[MechanicalAbomination And I'm more powerful than ever.]]]]
152	-->''(6 AM)'' [[spoiler:''THE MADNESS WON'T '''STOP!!''''' ''[[CreateYourOwnVillain YOU MADE ME]]... '''YOOOUUU MAAADE MEEEEEEEE!!! I AM ETERNAL... LET ME IIIINNNNN!!''''' I WILL LIVE... ''I WILL LIVE!'' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I... WILL...]] ''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis NOT...]]'' '''''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis DIIIIEE!!!]]''''' I WON'T DIE... IF ''I'M'' GOING TO HELL, '''''I'M [[TakingYouWithMe TAKING YOU WITH ME!!!]]''''']]
153	** [[spoiler:In the latter half of Night 11 of the original, when he appears again, he manages to one-up even that, resulting in him becoming ''absolutely batshit'' as he's DraggedOffToHell as the night ends.]]
154	--->[[spoiler:No… ''Get your hands off me!! I'm not through yet!'' ''I'M!'' '''''NOT!''''' ''DYING!'' NO! '''''[[BigNo NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…!!!!!!]]''''']]\
155	''[7 AM transition]''
156	** The remaster also has one of these in the same night, but instead it's [[spoiler:Garvey being initially shocked that John is in purgatory with him, but becoming increasingly furious at John for killing them both and trying to justify his monstrous acts as being for John's sake.]]
157	* VillainProtagonist: [[spoiler:The "Cardboard Theater" mini-game has the player control Garvey in a pastiche of a [[ShapedLikeItself cardboard theater]] as he [[WhenItAllBegan commits his crimes]]. And worst of all, you ''[[ButThouMust have]]'' to play it to complete the Good Ending.]]
158	* WestminsterChimes: Of course, given that this is a ''[=FNaF=]'' fangame, these are expected to play at some point. [[spoiler:They play only at the end of Night 12, to be exact.]]
159	* WhereItAllBegan: The last night takes place at Cakebear's[[spoiler:, where Garvey killed his first victim]].
160	* YouAreAlreadyDead: Once Cakebear has entered the office in Night 12, it's most likely curtains for you unless you figure out how to make him leave by flipping up your camera at the right time.
