Five Nights at Freddys Is Trending Again Because of Fake Headlines

Have you noticed that Chuck E. Cheese has been trending as of late? If you have, then you must have heard about some incidents that occured there that are similar to the first game of Five Nights at Freddy's.

However, these stories are simply not true.

According to a report from Game Rant, a lot of fans of the animatronic horror game noticed that the restaurant bears a close enough resemblance to Fazbear's Pizzeria. But there are distinctions that make the two of them different from each other.

Chuck E. Cheese is an arcade and entertainment pizza place that filed for bankruptcy because of the economic impact that the coronavirus pandemic brought upon while Freddy Fazbear's mascot is an animatronic bear that prowls the pizzeria at night, secretly terrorizing children, security guards, and game testers alike.

But oftentime, the line between reality and fiction is often blurred.

Twitter User @Diamonzia who is a fan of FNAF took to Twitter and tweeted headlines of news articles that chronologically follow the events of the first game.

"The headlines say that five children have gone missing at the same Chuck E. Cheese location, strange odors could be smelled coming from the animatronics, an after-hours employee passed away at a relatively young age, and that those working at night witnessed odd movements from the main mechanical mouse and his friends on stage." as noted by Aaron Piene of Game Rant.

Despite all these headlines being hoaxes thanks to the efforts of a very commited FNAF fan, it doesn't mean that the topic is not trending on Twitter anymore. Here are some of tweets about it.
