History Headscratchers / FiveNightsAtFreddys1

* How has NO ONE ever found the kids' corpses in the suits? We know the game most likely takes place in 1993 and the animatronics have been possessed since at least 1987. So that means the kids have been inside the suits for at least six years, but it's most likely been even longer than that. These animatronics have never been dismantled in any way for half a decade? If that's the case, then what's the backstage for? If an employee ever did take off the head, then wouldn't they have seen the corpse wedged right beneath them? Or is every employee just in on it? Even though they were struggling to stay in business, people were still coming to the restaurant. They could stand to be in the same room with multiple decomposing corpses? When the health department was called over, they never felt the need to investigate the suits? AKA what the health issue was being caused by? I get suspension of disbelief, but this is just absurd.

** If you're quoting the Phone Guy, that's not what he said. He said your eyes and teeth will be the only part of you that will see sunlight (i.e. be visible) ever again. The body will be in the costume but outsiders won't see it. Have a look at the brightened version of the Game Over screen. Those eyes in the Freddy suit are still attached.

*** Who says that this game takes place in our present hour? Remember, the year is given as XX on the check, thus the date is not outright confirmed. Wiki/TheOtherWiki has a note, which I'll quote: "This can potentially be refuted since, in the U.S., federal income tax from 1988 to 2001 was 15% for whatever tax bracket Mike would be in with his $120 paycheck. Assuming 15% and that they took out income tax already before paying him, as most businesses do, Mike actually gets ~$141.18 (rounded to nearest cent), which results in a ~$4.71 hourly wage (again, rounded to nearest cent). That's just on federal income tax alone, not to mention state tax, which varies from state to state. Minimum wage was $4.25 from 1991-1995, $4.75 in 1996, and $5.15 from 1997-2006. If other taxes were taken out of his paycheck, it's easy enough to push the year this takes place in as far forward as 1996 and potentially to 2006. Assuming his payday was a Friday, this makes 1992 a viable year based on just federal income tax and minimum wage at the time. If further taxes were taken out, that might make 1998 viable as well, as further taxation only means he receives a higher base pay. Any Friday the 13th in November after 1998 is unlikely, as the next is in 2009 where his income tax bracket would have dropped to 10%, making the minimum wage, $7.25, too high for what he would be making. "

* I personally tested this myself. Immediately pulled both the doors down and then just waited (this was on night six, mobile edition, if it matters). It only made it to two a.m., so, no, you don't last long at all with that strategy.

** It's not like Scott devoted a whole lot of time to creating the names. I mean, come on, the first guy's name is "Mike Schmidt." That's about as creative of a name as "John Doe." It was just to fill out the line for the paycheck.

** The Management is 100% aware of killer animatronics. If anything they're the ones covering it up.

** That could increase the chances of the dead corpses inside being discovered by the public.
