explained

, so sit back, relax and let's get started. The setup of Junior's story isn't very clear in the game, but it's nicely summarized on the game's download page. On the Gamejolt website here it is suggested that we are taking the place of an investigator who is sent to Junior's restaurant after a series of errors occurred leading to its closure.

The research company senses that something is afoot and it's up to our unfortunate soul. hero to find out what that something is, suffice it to say that they probably didn't think they'd be dealing with haunted killer

animatronics

in their sleep. The researcher who for now I will simply refer to as the protagonist finds himself in a dark dimension similar to a limbo in which he quickly begins to panic, believing himself to be dead. At that moment, a small white bear emerges from the darkness and introduces himself as Paul. bear and is a passive spirit that has taken refuge in this dark place a place referred to as the barons The barons are a limbo dimension between life and death.

A giant brain hangs in the sky, suggesting that the barons are directly connected to our character's subconscious after they entered Jrs to begin their investigation. Here you can find familiar places. Freddie Bonnie and Chica cut out and the Puppets emerging from a prize box. We also see a mysterious arcade machine, although it is out of service for now. Paul Bear assures the protagonist that he can send him back to the real world whenever he wants, but in exchange he asks for help with some unfinished business. Paul Bear cannot complete this task by himself since he is dead while taking care of his unfinished business.

He will be able to move to the pool bay of the afterlife. He even offers to help our investigation, so a partnership begins. The protagonist agrees to meet. Paul Bear once again the following night, so the investigation at Juniors begins with our protagonist monitoring paranormal activity in the restaurant via a security camera transmitted from the relative safety of the maintenance room. Paul Bear operates as a ghost in the machine capable of sending us messages. through our laptop providing survival tips as a ghostly figure moves from one animatronic to the next, this ghost girl is never named and therefore it is impossible to know for sure her true identity.

It seems that her presence in the restaurant is the unfinished business that Paul Bear had. Speaking of the reason why Juniors closed to begin with, he tells us that he has been hiding from this ghost who will take his soul if he locates it, so every night he begins a mission to exercise this malicious spirit. The player must identify which of the Juniors animatronics are haunted as the ghost moves from one to the other. The way we identify a ghost is by paying close attention to our camera feed and watching for telltale signs, for example if an animatronic enters a room and the lights start flickering or a human footprint. appears in the camera lens, then we know that the ghost is present, however, the ghost has a few tricks up his sleeve, one of them is to inhabit Marinette, who does not appear on the cameras, but can be heard by her Music Box When we turn on the audio function in the same way, the ghost can chase the balloon baby that only appears as a glitching icon on our laptop screen.

This laptop screen shows the stability of the animatronics and when this percentage drops to zero, the game is over and it is very bad news for an unlucky hero. To avoid a sticky ending, we must periodically call the non-haunted animatronics down the conveyor belt to the maintenance room and then repair them by installing a new battery pack. If we guess the wrong animatronic when trying to locate the ghost, then the values ​​of these stability percentages. fall on the board, so correctly choosing who the spirit chases is very important. Now let's take a quick look at each of the animatronics found during the first five nights of our investigation.

Fanaf Juniors has a menu page accessible after completing the game with detailed character descriptions for each. Of the terrifying designs, these say the following: Freddy, this version of Freddy is much taller and lankier than most. He wears his iconic top hat and bow tie, but both are outfitted with reproduced material. Bonnie similar to Freddy. This version of Bonnie is much lankier than most. In other designs she has been given a pair of elegant glasses and her color has changed from a dark indigo to a teal blue tone. Girl This iteration of a girl is not about food but rather sleep, she puts on a nightdress, a nightcap And her cupcake has Binky, how adorable does this pirate-themed version of Foxy wilt to maintain that iconic look that everyone loves.

We wanted to take that theme a little further with the inclusion of lots of piercings, balloon baby, this version of balloon boy is not a boy he's actually a baby hence the name in an attempt to capture that creepy vibe his face became more similar to that of a doll as she is always holding her balloons and wearing the iconic propeller hat the marinette with her long and thin body this iteration of a marinette or the puppet is more similar to a rag doll, she has also been given a nose and a pair of ears to add to that creepy doll look that made her so iconic in Five Nights at Freddy's 2.

The further we get into June, the more we'll learn about her mysterious backstory. is revealed, we get some of these revelations delivered through a series of old VHS tapes that star and cover after completing certain turns. the first tape is labeled episode 1 in this tape is a claymation animation that shows freddy walking towards a door labeled: beware the mangle freddy holds an animatronic arm in his hands which then features a shadowy figure emerging from the room. The second VHS tape is labeled episode 2. This time Bonnie and Freddie sit at a table in the pizzeria. Freddy puts together a drawing of mangle as if mangle is assembling it then appears to talk to freddy and influence him, we then see the ghost that inhabits freddy transfer to bonnie after this transfer is complete, it is bonnie who now delivers an animatronic appendage to the door Mangle's tape ends with a photograph of Bonnie and Freddie laughing together, this suggests that they are now both under Mangrove's control.

The third tape is labeled. I know you are with him. This tells us that the ghost girl is aware of a protagonist and her association with Paul Bear in this film. We see images. Girl fast asleep and dreaming of pizza Bonnie looks ominously over the foot of her bed and Girl's dreams are altered when the ghost transfers into her body. girl then completes the construction of handle by taking it to the final piece of root canal now before we watch the final tape we should Take a moment to catch up on the story that develops between the protagonist and his new acquaintance Paul Bear after passing on the information found on these tapes.

Paul Bear deduces that Mangal is a new body that the ghost is trying to build for herself. This body will allow him to become much more powerful and therefore more difficult to stop with the protagonist preparing to finish his investigation time is essential the duo must stop the ghost before the mangrove finishes construction to do this they decide to take the ghost by surprise sneaking into the lair located in the basement of the restaurant, this brings us to the fourth and final vhs tape, this one is labeled falling, its footage is symbolic and shows us children's drawings of various animatronics in the juniors while they are contaminated by a substance black, some of these drawings are bloody, suggesting that, like other fazbear establishments, the murderous activity occurred among the youth, we then witnessed the three iconic animatronics, bonnie chica and freddie, standing with their offerings as the mangrove descends from above.

These ribbons symbolize how the mangrove takes pieces of each of the animatronics under control. of the ghost leaving them in a withered state. The poor bear knows of a secret entrance that leads to the basement, so our protagonist takes him into the heart of the darkness for a final confrontation with the ghost girl. Long time naf fans will recognize this setting and the game mechanics are taken from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. This tells us that the Juniors location is the same location as Fanath II and therefore also the same location than the original Fredbear's Family Diner.

Important points to keep in mind as we move towards the In the theoretical part of this video, in this basement we find the withered animatronics, they are parts used to create the mangrove in the middle of tonight, like in

fnaf

2, when they appear these animatronics, we must hide behind Bonnie's mask balloon. The baby can also deactivate our flashlight if we don't keep an eye on it and this flashlight is necessary to keep Foxy at bay when she appears in the hallway. Finally, the music box must be wound up to avoid a nasty scare, courtesy of the puppet after these animatronics have fused with the mangrove. she takes over the fight during phase two in combination with the ghost that appears in several chambers in an attempt to break the chambers and our light mangala can look into the room using her owl tail, so we must hide behind of the body mask whenever This occurs if Mangle appears in the hallway.

She must be shown just like Foxy to dispel the ghost. We must illuminate her with the light from the camera until she disappears. These mechanics sound simple enough, but this is a difficult fight and balancing power is complicated before we can. Head on over to the final section of this video and discuss the ending of FNAF Juniors, let's take a quick look at each of the withered animatronics as described in the game Freddy Withered during the final act of Juniors Freddie was torn to shreds leaving him with only one eye . and a huge scar on his right eye, bonnie's withered face was ripped off by mangle and the player used it as a mask.

Wither Bonnie shares almost identical features to her design in FNAF 2. Wither Girl's jaw has been smashed open wide. like her design in

fnaf

2. she probably took the most damage of the entire cast poor withered girl foxy in the final act of junior foxy takes a good beating her left ear is completely torn off however she was already pretty withered to begin with withered balloon baby Just as Marinette Balloon Baby's porcelain head is completely shattered during Junior's final act, the cracks in her face reveal a creepy endoskeleton beneath a withered Marinette in Junior's final act, Marinette is completely shattered by Mangle, revealing her horrible face The Mangle, the manga is absolutely gigantic over time.

The building of the ghost that haunts the young man was built as his final form using different pieces of animatronic endoskeletons to create this monstrosity. During the final act, all of the withered animatronics jump onto a conveyor system, sacrificing themselves to finish the wreckage after arriving at 6 a.m. m. and survive the ghost's attempts to merge. With Mangrove, however, she attempts to merge with the protagonist, making her way inside his mind to gain access to the barons and locate Paul Bear. The ghost girl begins to strangle Paul Bear telling him that he can't hide under the costume anymore.

This tells us that Paul Bear is another little boy, so who could he be in? We are given some clues as to the identity of this child as we progress through the game. In an earlier scene, Paul Bear mentions that he feels very alone and is only supported by the other spirits. In his company, we also know that Paul Bear has a timid demeanor and asks the protagonist for help, since he is too scared to face the animatronics and the ghost girl. These traits align perfectly with a very familiar character from Five Nights at Freddy's, the crying boy commonly believed to be evan afton the crying boy died in fazbear's original location fredbear's family restaurant after his brother michael killed him. put a joke inside Freddie's animatronic mouth that went very wrong after the crying boy died he ended up alone with the other spirits for company everything lines up even the name paul bear is a play on words with the word paul bearer, a person who carries a coffin at a funeral, so if paul oso isa boy crying, so who is the ghost girl?

Well this is a little harder to pin down, it seems more likely that she is supposed to be Cassidy, this is because Cassidy was the cruelest of all the child victims and would have had a reason to come after the crying child, since he was the son of her murderer, William Afton, the man who stole her life, the ghost tells her. Paul Bear, she will destroy him and then her little puppet, but before the conversation concludes, the protagonist stabs her in the back. At this point, the story ends abruptly and the following text takes place after 5 years.

The young ones would reopen later. It would get heavy. rebranding as some still had a somewhat negative impression of the company fazbear entertainment is now more committed than ever to family fun and above all safety they spent a small fortune on these new animatronics anyway jeremy when do you think you can start with this text? coming from a manager at the newly renovated freddy fazbear's pizza new animatronics are mentioned referencing the friendly redesigned toy animatronics from fanaf2 essentially this dialogue is a setup for the second game in the fnaf franchise and the conversation it had between management and the new employee jeremy fitzgerald the The central protagonist of that game throughout this time juniors has been the prequel story of fnaf 2, bridging the gap between the events of five nights at freddy's 4, where the death of the crying boy took place, the murders by william afton that led to the birth of the vengeful spirits cassidy and finally the reopening of a restaurant for which jeremy accepted his position as a night guard junius explains the state of the withered animatronics the true origin of the mangrove and tells the story of the prequel, many have asked the series' creator, scott corvin, because it is certainly an interesting take on the law and a fantastic game for fans to boot.

The only question left is whether we were playing as jeremy the whole time. Jeremy, the unnamed protagonist, now returns to take a job as a night guard to keep Cassidy under control and prevent disaster from happening once again. I'll let you draw your own conclusions on that. One last secret to discover comes when we return to the main menu and click continue, now we will unlock free mode. mode by which we can explore the barons and collect four floating prize boxes that unlock a cryptic-looking map on the title screen made up of four torn pages that seem to mark a level layout, we return to the barons and can finally access that previously. arcade cabinet out of commission and play the Bonnie-themed carrot box minigame Using the map, we can locate an area within this level that unlocks a secret message from Paul Bear.

The message says Hello friend, it's me Paul Bear, if you ever need me for an investigation or whatever just call me see you soon, this message suggests that Paul Bear's fate was a happy one and by extension the childish spirit within from that suit he ended up escaping from the ghost ready to be summoned if the occasion ever arose and with that we come to The ending of this look at the history and animatronics of Fanath Juniors is
