Game Theory: MatPat Unveils the True Identity of FNAF's Crying Child

The Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) community has been buzzing with new theories and revelations, but one mystery has stood the test of time – the name of the Crying Child. MatPat, renowned for his deep dives into game lore, has teamed up with Dual Process Theory in the latest episode of Game Theory to shed light on this enigma. In the episode titled "We SOLVED Golden Freddy… Again! (ft. MatPat)", an intriguing theory is presented, challenging everything we thought we knew about Golden Freddy and the Crying Child.

MatPat, alongside the Dual Process Theory channel, delves into the heart of FNAF’s complex lore. The new theory suggests that the Crying Child has been misidentified all along. For nearly a decade, fans have been in the dark, referring to this pivotal character simply as the Crying Child, while other characters like Mike, Elizabeth, and Charlie have been named. The revelation brought forward by Dual Process Theory is groundbreaking – the Crying Child’s real name is Cassidy. This name was discovered in the survival logbook's word search, a clue that has been overlooked for years.

Cassidy, previously thought to be the vengeful spirit from Ultimate Custom Night, is now suggested to be the Crying Child. This revelation turns previous theories on their head, as it implies that the figure we believed was Cassidy may not even exist. The new theory posits that the Crying Child, who has been central to FNAF's haunting storyline, was always Cassidy, a name intertwined with the lore but misattributed for years.

The theory and its implications are explored in depth in this episode of Game Theory, pushing the boundaries of FNAF theorizing and offering a fresh perspective on a long-standing mystery. This episode is not just a must-watch for FNAF enthusiasts but also for anyone interested in the intricacies of game lore analysis.
