  • Yall should check out Showman's: The Awakening on gamejolt it is actual peak
  • and free
  • I'm more focused on the PEAK that it is though
  • for some reason i have to be sleep deprived in order to be capable of writing dialogue
  • My First Fanfic
  • fun fact: the mask in fnaf 2 was originally going to have a toxicity system that got removed so it'd be actually playable
  • the way the mask works in showman's reminds me of that lol
  • some minor parts are based on my own experience playing the game lol
  • pseudo-death
  • Hurt No Comfort
  • the child death is kinda vaguely implied in this one
  • it is WAY more explicit in the OG (especially the game before Showman's lol)
  • Out of Character
  • Fake Character Death
  • sorta - Freeform
  • Kidnapping
  • Breaking and Entering
  • it gets a bit goofy ngl
  • Bad Writing
  • they are so gay (trust)
  • they just had an awkward first date (night 6)
  • lmk if the formatting messes up i found some quirky things to add lol
  • should be fiiiine though
  • I may edit the earlier chapters later since I gave Matthew a minor trait later on that I don't recall worrying about initially
  • also i tried to write the dialogue carried over 1:1 as close to how it was said in-game as possible
  • it sounds a LOT more natural than it looks when written lmao..
  • waiting for the upcoming games to disprove every single character trait i gave them instantly‚‚
  • lmk if i made any fixable errors please!
  • Not Really Character Death
  • Presumed Dead

  Summary

  What if Mark was the phone guy, and Matthew was the night guard - with nothing else changing, from fates to personalities? How would the gaps be filled? How would things be different?
