00:00yes I really beat Five Nights at
00:02Freddy's nights 1 through six and 420
00:05mode but each night took exactly 6 hours
00:09to complete this was undoubtedly the
00:12stupidest idea I've ever had for a video
00:15which equally makes it one of the
00:16greatest and this whole thing started a
00:18couple of months ago so let me provide
00:21some context okay so this is realtime
00:23FNAF a mod created with the whole idea
00:26being what if the characters actually
00:28moved in time all things considered it
00:32seemed pretty cool I mean actually
00:34seeing the animatronics move would be
00:35scary enough but it was the name that I
00:38was really interested in real time I and
00:42probably some others out there believ
00:45that this name would be true to its
00:46gameplay where each night would be in
00:48real time being five six hour nights and
00:52while that never was the plan a 6-hour
00:55mode was confirmed to be an extra
00:56challenge mode when this was announced I
00:59sub consciously told myself that I would
01:01stop at nothing to be the very first
01:04person to complete the 6-hour mode
01:06however there was a small issue on March
01:091st an official trailer for the game
01:11dropped it was officially confirmed that
01:12the game would be released on April 27th
01:15this would normally be fine because
01:17remember this was back in March I had
01:20plenty of time to plan and potentially
01:22practice the issue was that the week
01:25following April 27th was my finals week
01:28on top of that the week's following I
01:30would be getting ready to graduate high
01:32school so my time throughout the month
01:34of May was already pretty limited even
01:37if the game was to be released on that
01:39Saturday there was no way in hell that I
01:41would be devoting 6 hours of my weekend
01:44where I should be studying to this
01:47stupid challenge while the game didn't
01:49release then and instead got pushed back
01:51indefinitely that date was firm in my
01:54head is final then I had an idea my
01:57spring break was coming up in a week and
01:59I had nothing big planned so I did the
02:02only thing a logical human being would
02:04do and I set out to recreate the 6-hour
02:07mode myself using the original FNAF then
02:10I would play and beat the entire game
02:12over my spring break so I wouldn't feel
02:15like I was missing out while finishing
02:16school now with the proper time and
02:18motivation I obtained a FNAF 1 MFA and
02:21Fired Up Click team there was only one
02:24problem I don't know how to use click
02:26team it doesn't help that there is
02:28literally zero useful documentation on
02:30how it works anywhere or at least the
02:33places I looked most videos on YouTube
02:35aren't helpful in the slightest and chat
02:37GPT couldn't even tell me what click
02:39team was better yet FNAF one's code is
02:43primarily held together using duct tape
02:45and bandaids so left with zero
02:47alternative options I asked my friend
02:49fazzy if he would be willing to lend me
02:51some of his time to make this stupid
02:52idea a reality he was the best option I
02:55had since he has more than enough
02:57experience with the engine since he's
02:59also made a couple of games using click
03:01team that you may or may not have heard
03:03of they're a little underground we
03:05hopped in a VC and a little under an
03:07hour later we had the first rendition of
03:09our 6-hour hellscape comically dubbed
03:11FNAF fin real time it was already
03:14getting pretty late which gave me the
03:16idea to start each night at midnight
03:18kind of like I was an actual Night Guard
03:20so what you're about to see is my very
03:23naive first impression of the challenge
03:30we're going to do the 6our shift
03:33approximately 15 seconds until hell so
03:36it's officially midnight let's get this
03:39started as you can see there's a timer
03:41in the top left um I ran this through
03:45yesterday and it will Loop through 6
03:47hours when the night ends okay so a
03:50couple other things you might notice
03:51like right away is the power um fzy
03:54decided to add 9999 power which I think
03:58should be more than enough to last me
04:00the full 6 hours the reason the power is
04:02this way is because we couldn't at least
04:04at first figure out how to make the
04:06power go down slower so our solution was
04:08just to give more power that drains at
04:10the normal rate I'm aware that 10,000%
04:13power is a lot but you're going to have
04:15to trust me on this it works out well
04:17you would really only need about
04:194,000% but we were still unsure if that
04:21was even possible also one thing to not
04:24is I initially wanted the AI to be
04:27slowed down to match like the the time
04:31so like you know typical FNAF one night
04:33one Bonnie will come to your office like
04:36once at maybe 4:00 a.m. or so I kind of
04:38wanted to emulate that just if the game
04:40was just slowed down 40 times but we
04:43couldn't really accomplish that so they
04:46move at their normal speeds so it's
04:48going to be a pretty active night one I
04:50reckon this was also our reasoning for
04:52so much power especially on night one
04:54where they could more frequently show up
04:56and just sit at the door forever because
04:58of their low AI the power would be
05:00tweaked quite a bit throughout but it
05:02was for sure the most it ever was in
05:04this night so don't worry about it too
05:07much oh oh okay we just broke the
05:11game that's what did we
05:18uh the lights don't even work okay we're
05:21not that far in we might as well just
05:23might as well just redo this I couldn't
05:26actually tell you what happened here
05:28since this bug can't really be diagnosed
05:30that easily my best guess is that when
05:32fazzy tried to compile the game into an
05:34exe since he didn't have the same assets
05:37that Scott did back in 2014 there were
05:39some errors with what events could fire
05:41specifically with the West Hall corner
05:43whenever looking in that camera nothing
05:45would show up and flipping the camera
05:47down would just cause the office to
05:48unload besides the fan animation which
05:50is just slapped on top of the office
05:52image it's not super important but I
05:54thought it was pretty cool all right
05:56good night dude who knew F guy ya for 3
06:01minutes normally by now it be like 1 2
06:03a.m. but no we're still at 12:00 a.m.
06:06for another 56 and A2 minutes also I
06:10love how the fan just stops the second
06:14you pull up the camera I don't know if
06:16that's in the actual game
06:18but it's funny to me I don't know why oh
06:23you just have the ability to freeze time
06:25it was by this point only 4 minutes in
06:27that I was incredibly bored I was
06:30looking for anything in the office to
06:31entertain me dude I am not trusting that
06:33it's been 9 minutes right now like a
06:35normal FNAF night would have ended by
06:36now and neither Bonnie or foxy have
06:42moved um oh yeah yeah okay okay that's
06:46that's why that's okay that makes sense
06:48now if you know on night 1 at 12:00 a.m.
06:51to 12 and 1 a.m. all animatronics are at
06:54zero AI none of them become even
06:56remotely active until 2 a.m. and I think
06:59Bonnie goes up to 1 or 2 and chica has a
07:03chance of activating I think like 4:00
07:05a.m. and then foxy as well I'm not too
07:08sure how that works but I know that
07:10makes a lot more sense now because it's
07:12you know not 1:00 a.m. I thought it was
07:13a time based thing oh oh my god oh the
07:17file size this is going to make I was
07:20right to fear because when this is all
07:21said and done I had nearly 1 and2
07:24terabytes of footage why so much well I
07:27forgot to turn down my bit rate for the
07:29entire challenge I I know this is an
07:32actual rookie mistake and I now have to
07:34sit and wait for it all to import into
07:35premere which is just notorious for not
07:38liking that good job past me all right
07:42and we have officially crossed the 1
07:44hour mark it is 1:00
07:47a.m. thank God okay I don't know if
07:51they're going to start moving now or at
07:54a.m. we know it works I was really
07:57hoping the game just wouldn't crash
07:59spoiler the animatronics didn't move and
08:02I went back to work for the rest of the
08:03second hour okay we are almost at 2 a.m.
08:07I'm going to be so for real right now
08:09I'm getting pretty sick of
08:11this oh [Â __Â ] I just remembered dude I
08:14just see the time on my laptop just
08:16switched to 3:00 a.m. I'm not going to
08:18be done till 7 in a surprising Twist of
08:22events the one day I decided to start
08:24this challenge was the start of daylight
08:26savings time this meant even when I
08:28started the challenge at 12:00 a.m. I
08:30wouldn't be finishing up and going to
08:32bed until 7:00 a.m. this doesn't affect
08:34the challenge in any way but did affect
08:36my motivation a little bit going forward
08:38also Bonnie didn't start moving at 2:
08:39a.m. like I thought he would so it was
08:41another hour of work while I listened to
08:43the office Ambience slowly consumed my
08:48soul and folks it is 300 a.m. well now
08:53400 a.m. for me God I so incredibly
08:57tired we are powering through I'm
08:59actually getting getting a lot of work
09:01surprisingly and even more surprisingly
09:03no one has moved so either we are
09:05getting extremely lucky or the game's
09:09bugged either way we're halfway done
09:10with the night I'm so ready for this to
09:12be over and just like the previous 3
09:14hours not much happened here
09:22either I just uh I didn't even notice
09:25cuz I was working but we just passed
09:305:03 a.m. for me we are 2/3 done I'm
09:34still very tired it wasn't until 4 hours
09:37and 45 minutes in where something
09:39happened I went to bed I guess I was
09:42just too tired and decided I had more
09:43than enough power to shut the doors and
09:45go to sleep this was the only time in
09:47the challenge that I can recall where I
09:49got up after I started a night for an
09:50extended period of time all things
09:52considered I did pretty good and I even
10:01y also of note I died to Foxy a couple
10:05minutes into night to while I was still
10:06asleep so the AI definitely works also
10:10my alarm clock went off about an hour
10:11later and I woke back up to finish the
10:19recording all right we survived night
10:23one I just woke back
10:25up even if night one didn't go entirely
10:28how I'd expected it to I still came back
10:31later that day for night two okay it's
10:33the next night it is March 10th at 11:59
10:37so we're doing this the morning of March
10:3911th um I'm significantly less tired
10:41today because I actually took a nap in
10:44the evening so I hopefully won't get
10:46tired at 5:00 a.m. okay so he's in there
10:50I again the [Â __Â ] um West Hall corner
10:54is still down we haven't fixed that yet
10:56obviously you can tell the power is
10:57still busted as hell so I'm might get to
10:59a point tonight where I just leave the
11:02door down after like 3:00 a.m. or so but
11:05I want to actually try and like you know
11:06play the game as it's intended and not
11:10try to like you know break everything
11:12cuz that would be kind of
11:14lame holy [Â __Â ] it's him for the first
11:17time about 20 minutes into Night 2 and
11:20my strategy had changed a little bit I
11:21would play in 20 minute shifts where I
11:23would play for 20 minutes and then work
11:25for 20 minutes this was to help keep me
11:27as fresh as possible for later in the
11:28night I also weirdly came up with a
11:30strategy that just involved keeping the
11:32left door down the entire night and not
11:34flipping the monitor at all this was
11:35very different from the strategy I ended
11:37up using but it's interesting to see how
11:39bad of a strategist I was at first
11:41strategist I don't know night two in
11:44general was pretty smooth sailing as not
11:46a lot of interesting things happened
11:48after about 4:00 a.m. I decided that I
11:50was done playing for the night and kept
11:51both doors down while I stayed up to get
11:53some work done I guess I was really
11:54trying to finish my project readjusted
11:56video while on Spring rake as well as
11:58make this video neither of those ended
12:00up happening by the way anyway this was
12:02the last real night that I was actively
12:03trying to do something else while
12:05playing I also ended up changing my
12:07strategy significantly from afking in
12:08the office to afking in the cameras
12:11probably because I had let foxy run so
12:13many times that he was taking upwards of
12:15150% each time he ran which was a lot
12:19not much happened during the second
12:20night that was until I got to 6:00 a.m.
12:31bad oh okay um as it turns out the
12:35version fazzy had sent over was coded so
12:37it would be recognized as the demo cd2
12:40didn't work and neither did altering the
12:42save file since I really couldn't make
12:43any progress if I can't even access the
12:45next night fzy said he would see what he
12:47could do by fixing it and that's really
12:50where the story ends for a bit this
12:51wasn't his fault at all far from it we
12:54both had things that we'd rather be
12:55working on and I poured my focus into
12:57the project readjusted video instead a
12:59couple of months later and I had already
13:00forgotten about this video it was pretty
13:03much scrapped that wasn't anything I'm
13:05unfamiliar with as about 70% of videos I
13:07work on end up getting scrapped
13:08somewhere down the line but this one
13:10felt like a loss since I already poured
13:1212 hours of my time into it so I took to
13:15Twitter which you should go follow me on
13:17so plug I figured it might be
13:19interesting to see what other people
13:20would think about the idea I figured it
13:22would reach about 500
13:251,000 1.1 million people the Tweet blew
13:29up up garnering over 26,000 likes which
13:32I think my most popular tweet before
13:34that was only about 500 so this is a lot
13:37more exposure than I ever could have
13:39imagined for an idea as stupid as this
13:41one so great people actually want to see
13:43this video finished that's fantastic fzy
13:45even offered to polish the game up since
13:47we both had time so with everything
13:50going to plan I set a date for June 1st
13:52to stream the third night all right any
13:55final words before I'm stuck here for
14:00uh we'll make the most of your first few
14:03hours I was joined by some friends on
14:05stream for the first little bit to make
14:06this challenge more bearable I also
14:08spent the first hour explaining to the
14:10stream what the challenge
14:12was what compelled me to do this um yeah
14:19a.m even chica is here to celebrate
14:22let's [Â __Â ] yeah ch ch is like good
14:24job buddy made 1 i.m not much happened
14:27until about an hour and 20 minutes in
14:29when someone in chat suggested doing
14:31something else and taking a quick break
14:33we eventually decided on Pagel which
14:35kicked off the very first government
14:37sanctioned pegle break where I am
14:39contractually obligated by the US
14:40government to take a few minutes and
14:42play pegle the whole stream went like
14:44this where after every hour I would take
14:4610 to 15 minutes to play a couple rounds
14:48of pegle it was definitely very fun and
14:50helped break up the longer droughts of
14:52nothing happening the stream was
14:54actually super interesting and it was by
14:56far the most amount of fun I had during
14:57this challenge as with having a chat
14:59there was always something new to talk
15:00about we somehow got on the topic of
15:02Doom while on a pegle break where I was
15:05eventually convinced to take a small
15:06Doom break so now introducing the
15:09government sanctioned Doom break I know
15:11it seems like all I'm doing so far is
15:13goofing off and well yeah that's true it
15:15was super nice to have a more laid-back
15:17night where I could do really whatever I
15:19did switch back and forth quite a bit
15:21between pegle and FNAF for the rest of
15:22the night but after it was all said and
15:24done I finished night three and a pretty
15:26successful stream there's no way f was
15:29replicated was made by Hitler so he
15:31could replicate fol there's zero
15:35chance that that right there is
15:40go in between nights three and four a
15:43lot of time had passed and a couple of
15:45alterations to the game were made first
15:46and foremost I finally learned how to
15:48use click team or at least how to
15:50navigate the treacherous FNAF 1 code I
15:52was doing this to fix a couple of issues
15:54I had with the previous build mainly
15:56reverting back to the old timer because
15:57I liked it way more there were two other
15:59issues that were bothering me the
16:01resolution and the power the resolution
16:03was an easy fix I just made it so it
16:05wouldn't force a native 720p resolution
16:07went in full screen I was playing on a
16:091440p monitor and having a window a
16:11fourth of that resolution stretched not
16:13only looked worse but it affected my
16:15mouse sensitivity since the area is
16:17smaller making more precise inputs
16:19harder to do it works much better now
16:21the power was a little more complicated
16:23I wanted to get it to read as 100% but
16:25have it drain slower and it didn't take
16:28me very long to to figure out how to do
16:29just that the power system is actually
16:31stored on a separate counter hidden just
16:33off screen the main power that you see
16:35in game is really just that number but
16:37divided by 10 to get a cleaner two-digit
16:39number so I added a little bit more
16:40power to the offscreen counter and
16:42changed what number the visible power
16:43meter was being divided by and now we
16:46have a fixed power system after some
16:48play testing I changed how much power
16:49was actually available and landed on a
16:51reasonable amount it's about the same as
16:53a normal FNAF Knight but if it was
16:55extended a little past this was added
16:57just so if I need to get up in the
16:58middle of the night I wouldn't like
16:59instantly be screwing myself over it's
17:01about equivalent to about 110% power in
17:03the normal FNAF so I didn't need to play
17:05perfectly for 6 hours just good enough
17:08when I actually started night four a
17:09couple days later I didn't have a lot to
17:11say this whole challenge was really
17:12starting to take a toll on me and I was
17:15just focused on getting it done as fast
17:16as possible on July 2nd it was announced
17:18that the realtime 6-hour demo would be
17:20released within the next 2 weeks as a
17:22reward in the vortex charity live stream
17:24I remember seeing everyone's initial
17:26reaction to the prospect of a 6-hour
17:28mode becoming a real
17:29and being motivated by this knowing that
17:31I had already done this four times over
17:33but in a really backwards way I was also
17:37incredibly demotivated by the
17:38announcement because it meant that I was
17:40once again against the clock in order to
17:42get my video finished before anyone else
17:44could I know that's kind of selfish but
17:46I was determined to be the first at
17:47least unofficially to do it I think
17:49that's what motivated me so much in the
17:51first place but it was this moment where
17:53I proceeded to do what is commonly
17:54referred to as locking the [Â __Â ] in for
17:57the final 18 hours of of this challenge
17:59I barely talked I would occasionally
18:02make a remark on my situation or if I
18:03had a close call other than that I just
18:06had Netflix or YouTube open on my second
18:07Monitor and I would go to work I don't
18:09remember much from night 5 all I can
18:11recall is that I was super tired and
18:13watched Nathaniel bandy for about 90% of
18:15it all right it's night 5 but today's
18:19actual date is July 4th it is 7:49 p.m.
18:23I know we kind of ditched the whole
18:25starting at 12:00 a.m. thing but you
18:27know going to sleep at a reason hour is
18:29actually a priority now not really much
18:31to say night five is kind of just a more
18:43okay we did it we did it
18:47Yay good job Sports see you next week in
18:50typical fashion I completely forgot to
18:53record audio for the sixth night so just
18:56pretend I said something witty and then
18:58I beat it even if I did record audio my
19:01hard drive ran out of space the video
19:04cuts off at 3:00 a.m. this this whole
19:06video is just a mess I'm sorry it was
19:09finally time for the very intimidating
19:11420 I had actually given it a couple of
19:13attempts beforehand while play testing
19:15and balancing power dying twice within
19:17the first hour the strategy that I used
19:19for my version was very similar to the
19:21one that everyone else uses however I
19:23played it a lot more safe I would check
19:25foxy around every 3 minutes and when he
19:27was close to running I would shut the
19:28left door and ignore him entirely this
19:30worked really well as it allowed me to
19:32completely eliminate the need to check
19:33foxy frequently and I could just focus
19:36on the rest of the game this was done so
19:38I wouldn't accidentally let Freddy in
19:39which was a massive fear of mine since
19:47easily oh my [Â __Â ] God oh my
20:16God [Â __Â ] you holy
20:24[Â __Â ] oh I finally did it that only took
20:27four months and just like that at 1:00
20:30a.m. on July 8th 2024 I became the very
20:34first person to complete FNAF 1 in real
20:37time unofficially this was easily the
20:40most amount of time and energy I've put
20:41into a single video besides maybe that
20:44stupid long project readjusted video
20:45that I still cannot believe I finished I
20:47do plan on streaming the 6- hour FNAF in
20:49real time demo when that releases but
20:51other than that I can officially say
20:53I've survived Five Nights at Freddy's
