In a recent report, it has been revealed by Scott Cawthon himself that the true title of his upcoming book is "Five Nights At Freddy's: The Silver Eyes." The teaser to his book that is being featured in his official website, was previously titled, "Five Nights at Freddy's The Untold Story." The image had a close up of sinister looking Freddy Fazbear and behind him is a silhouette of a tree and a bloody red sky. When the news broke, many believe that Scott Cawthon will finally be explaining the mystery that haunts the "FNAF" series from the start.
In the days that lead up to Dec. 22, the date which the electronic copy of the book is said to be released on Amazon, several Steam posts suggest that either the book has been leaked or came out early. On Dec. 19, Gothicruby, posted some alleged spoilers. There is another who claims that Cawthon's book is kind of similar to every Christoper Pike book read.
According to Design and Trend, skeptic fans have come to doubt "Silver Eyes" would ever have anything to do with the game especially that alleged "spoilers" have been circulating. A fan then has started a thread in the general discussion section found in Steam. The author of the post wrote, "From the way the book is structured, delivered, inconsistent to the game at some points, as well as what people are saying, it appears to be an AU of sorts." The fan continued, "If so, what's the point of the book? If it indeed isn't canon and is based off an entirely different FNaF, then why associate it with the game's plot?"
To the disappointment of many, it turns out that fans might end up with more question than answers after reading the book. And Scott quickly addressed his followers by replying to the post, "The truth is that after a while lore can become so dense that there isn't room for a story anymore. Another truth is that what makes for a good game doesn't necessarily make for a good book. Sometimes a timeline gets so full that the only way to tell a real story is have the story set in a different timeline, an alternate universe, a different location, or perhaps from a vantage point that isn't entirely what it appears to be."
