Rambles: A scrapped idea for a FNAF/Danganrompa crossover: Machines of Despair

I just wanted to put this old idea out there but this is an old crossover idea I had with these two series I just ended up scrapping. So here’s an info dump on it if you guys want to do anything with it.

Be warned: SPOILERS, DARK THEMES, AND A LOOOOOOOTTTT OF TEXT AHEAD

Pretty much it would have been set in the V3 universe and with an alternate ending to FNAF 6 (Pretty much nothing beyond those games as Freddy’s folds for good. No VR or SB.)

The ending of the 53 season stirred up a lot of controversy and ended with the series being canceled and a massive public backlash all over the world. Espically in America, where the series was outright banned as a whole several years prior.

Memorials are held for the survivors, tight restrictions are made on the series as a whole with more and more bans, merchandise and games are lost and destroyed and Monokuma becomes the newest face of evil.

Amongst the controversy, a young entrepreneur decides to use this as a chance to revive a long since dead company from his childhood hoping that with public’s eyes drawn elsewhere would aid in lessening any possible “issues” due to that company’s rather shady past.

The story would follow a former contest (Currently unnamed but lets call him Kai) on the Draganrompa show of a season that got canceled because of an anti-Danganrompa group who’s aim was to disrupt the show, rescue contestants and or get them settled outside of it and was let go and had moved to America some odd years back.

Kai’s formally known as the Ultimate Security Guard and lives with another former contestant of the show whom he met through a forum for survivors and the two wound up dating.

After some recent hard times resulting in him getting laid off from work, Kai finds himself accepting a job offer to be part of the staff for the “Grand Revival” of the newly relicensed “Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza”, this time under completely new management with no relation whatsoever to the now bankrupt Fazbear Entertainment LLC.

The new company is getting ready to launch their new flagship location yet recently. Strange happenings had been occurring around the building in recent weeks following a now former employee that had been tasked with looking for props to help in furnishing the place and their recent “acquisitions” from an overseas auction.

Reports of strange “shadow figures” on the cameras, musical devices suddenly playing by themselves, animatronics behaving erratically, a cryptic warning from a spirit median, on top of many other things usually late into the night, results in the owner and the employees launching an investigation with their newest hire, Kai, being placed front and center as the Night Guard on his first week.

For 7 nights, Kai faces having to keep the malfunctioning machines out of his office as well as battling with his own sanity as he starts to see hallucinations of an entity he names “Freddykuma” (That will kill him if he doesn’t keep his sanity down, and in between night cutscenes called “Freddykuma’s Stage Show”), born from his own personal fears, stress, and repression of his time on Danganrompa all while being guided over the phone by a fellow employee on what to expect and his post-shift tasks while they keep watch from their car.

Though throughout his shift, a certain human-like robot in a heavily damaged state stashed within the backroom/storage room notably catches his attention. The phone guy mentions that it was received as a part of the auction haul brought in by the former employee and the owner stuffed in the background after finding no use for it.

“You may have noticed that weird looking robot in one of the storage cams. Looks quite out of place here doesn’t it? Well you can “thank you know who” for it… Said we could use it for parts or whatever.

In that state I don’t think it’s going to see any use. Plus it gives us all the creeps. I don’t blame the boss for chucking it into that room… Especially after reports that the morning shift kept finding it in the weirdest places…”

The robot in question is in fact, K1-B0. Heavily damaged but still oddly functional, yet lacking of any of his prior intelligence. Compared to the other robots, he’s only ever active once a night going from Night 2 onwards in which he will make an attempt to get into Kai’s office and then go back to his room (He has multiple paths he can take and can be quite dangerous if Kai isn’t paying attention to his audio cues)

After each night, Kai will be tasked with doing some “post shift tasks” which function as short little minigames. Clear these and it’s shift complete, fail and his fate may be sealed by one of the still active animatronics.

Though during these Inbetween night segments is also the chance for Kai to recover any of the 11 of 12 “remnants” needed for the true ending.

But what are these “Remnants” you may ask?

Well, these remnants are actually revealed to be artifacts belonging to the 11 souls of the now deceased students of Hopes Peak Academy and the reason behind the hauntings after being brought to the location as part a series of an auction winnings by a former employee while in Japan.

Due to their rather traumatic causes of death, their souls are restless and unable to be freed until they are given proper closure. Gathering these artifacts is required to get the true ending of MoD and collecting them can be done during the post shift segments.

They are not labeled as a part of Kai’s nightly tasks and must be found by discovering hidden clues throughout the game which appear in many forms (Collectable notes, Freddykuma Stage Show dialogue, and even an EMF Reader that can be collected at the start of the post shift segments in the office (not required and completely optional but extremely helpful)

Yet that still leaves one more remanent left to collect..

And well… There’s a reason for that….

Collect all 11 and on the 6th night you will get a new phone call from the phone guy after the usual night 6 call.

He mentions that the boss had recently found some old files while digging through some old records belonging to the previous owners of the Fazbear name in an attempt to find out what was going on.

“Hey… sorry for calling you back so suddenly but I just got a call from the boss. He decided to have a look through some of the old records on the company and he thinks that he may have found something.

Apparently at some point Freddy Fazbear’s was looking to expand overseas or something like that since he found some paperwork from a company called “Idabashi Industries” or something like that.

The owner was apparently in talks with the two founders on helping to develop better robots and possibly open a few locations over in Japan but it kinda fell through because the owner had a “sudden and unexpected loss” that forced him to pull out.

It’s all so strange, plus the boss is saying this stuff is completely undocumented and that it was buried in a safe or something. It’s like someone was trying to hide this.

Anyways, I’ll let you go for the night. Once your shift’s over, meet me in the parking lot as usual. The boss wants to see us about that and those strange things you’ve been gathering after your shifts.”

Beating night 6 afterwards will unlock the Idabashi Archives. Kai will need to go through these until he reaches the back where there is a photo of a scientist and a boy. The photo needs to be clicked on where it will then be obtained as an item as well as a keycode.

The keycode will need to be entered on the safe that appears in the office on Night 7 with the photo having been obtained. Doing so will load a series of minigames and cutscenes that reveal something about K1B0 (in this universe):

It turns out that Professor Idabashi was in fact a real person and the robot known as K1B0 was the Professor’s actual biological son, who will simply be referenced to as by Kiibo.

The original Kiibo was revealed to have been murdered by William Afton during the Professor’s business trip to America to negotiate with Fazbear Entertainment which left his father in a deep state of depression.

In his grief, the Professor started to do research into a way to possibly bring back his son. Stealing research from the very man who had murdered his child, Idabashi set out to create a “vessel” that he could use to “bind” his soul to.

It manages to work with the initial prototype but soon issues go away as the vessel behaved “erratically” (aka like any other possessed animatronic) which resulted in Idabashi getting injured and him having to develop a series of internal systems and protocols to “stabilize” the spirit the vessel housed, ones that if they were damaged, would render the vessel reverting back to its more unstable state (As seen throughout the 7 nights).

With his son back, Idabashi tried to live a normal life yet soon found himself unable to look Kiibo in the eye as it “felt all wrong”. He had this son’s deactivated, memory wiped, and sold off his company. Idabashi would pass away at some point some years after the closing of the Fnaf 1 location and before the Danganrompa series was created.

K1B0 at some point would end up in the hands of Team Danganrompa (possibly from the company who bought out Idabashi Industries) and modified to be used as an “audience participation device” for the 53nd Season of Danganrompa before blowing himself up at the end.

Along with many other props used on the show, his remains would be salvaged from the wreckage of the set and sold via an auction in attempt to recoup losses for rather cheap due to growing negative opinions towards the series.

The props were bought by a now former employee of the new Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza and planned to be used to decorate the establishment, unknowingly bringing the souls of those victims with them.

After the cutscene ends, Night 7 will “restart” (WAKE UP)but will play out a lot differently. The time will be set to 3 am and it’s revealed that Kai fell asleep from the phone guy:

“Oh thank god I’ve finally gotten through to you Kai. You scared the crap outta me man! Falling asleep in the middle of my phone call.

You were saying some really creepy stuff there, man! Something about a kid a-and robots being possessed by human souls…

I may have spoken to you over the phone about this history of the old company that owned this brand and well the murders briefly but allow to tell you more in full.

While I cannot say how many since records list at least 11-16, I can say there were at least 6 that were notable. The Missing Children's Incident and the murder of Charlie Emily.

5 children lured into a backroom and stuffed into the suits and other dumped in an alleyway.

Horrible I know. To make matters worse, they never caught the killer. And to top all of that, I’d even heard rumors that there was possibly an even a 7th victim.”

The phone guy will go on to explain the rumor. During this time, Kai will also noticed that none of the animatronics are moving despite being able to flick through the cameras (This is more of an interactive cutscene) with one exception: K1B0.

He will not be in the backroom and instead can be found in the breaker room where he will shut off the power about midway through phone guy’s speech.

“Huh? What happened to the power in there?

…

Oh Shi-

Quickly! Dude, you need to get outta there before-“

Distorted noises

“KAI!! KAAAAAAIII!”

Kai will be attacked by K1B0 but will not die, instead being dragged off to the backroom. This will start the final post-shift segment:

Kai will have to survive in a Fnaf 4 style gameplay loop from 3 to 6, all while fending off K1B0 until the phone guy and the morning shift can reach him.

Doing so successfully will result in Kai’s phone alarm beeping as he goes to leave his hiding spot. Yet before he can leave the room, K1B0 will jump at him and attempt to attack him. Kai will have to hold him off until he drops the photograph from his pocket, causing K1B0 to stop.

He will then proceed to take the photograph, stare at it with a sad expression before going limp, after which his chest cavity will open up to reveal his “heart”/core and the final remanent artifact. Kai takes the core and the robot shuts down for good, freeing the spirit trapped inside.

After that is over with, Kai is rescued by his fellow employees, his boss, phone guy, and a spirit median they had brought along. Wanting to know what happened, Kai remarks it’s a long story and promises to tell them everything while the median remarks that “a great evil has left this place”.

Despite all the hardships, Kai chooses to stay with the company as he gets promoted and they go ahead with their grand opening now that the place is no longer haunted and we see a screen similar to the Normal Ending, this time with the newspaper reading “Grand Opening”, a bigger payout on the check, and a “You’re Promoted” flier. Effectively putting FF’s past to rest for good and the new company set in stone for success.

A small post credits scene will play out with Kai and his girlfriend at a memorial site set up in honor of the lives lost to Danganrompa placing down the artifacts found. 10 of the spirits (Barring Tsumugi) can be seen in the background in a group watching the sunset.

Also present and more prominent is the spirits of an older boy holding the hand of a man wearing a lab coat that can be seen smiling at Kai and the others.

This game would also have a neutral ending akin to that of the regular Fnaf 1 ending if none of the conditions are met for the True Ending, simply displaying a paycheck and a newspaper that reads “Grand Opening Delayed Again”
