The Ultimate Guide to Unlocking Secret Endings in FNAF 1 Remake
FNAF 1 Remake stands out as one of the year’s most remarkable April Fool’s Day pranks—a fan-created remaster of the classic Five Nights at Freddy’s. With its chilling analog-horror design and a profoundly meta narrative addressing themes of nostalgia and inevitable change, it also features a mind-bending secret ending that players are eager to discover.
What Are Secret Endings in Five Nights at Freddy’s?
Secret endings have long been a hallmark of the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise. They are typically concealed behind intricate in-game puzzles, notoriously tough pixelated mini-games, and challenging animatronic encounters. FNAF 1 Remake embraces this tradition while introducing innovative twists. Here’s how you can unlock the secret ending.
How to Unlock the Standard 1-Star Ending in FNAF 1 Remake
To access the secret ending in FNAF 1 Remake, you must first achieve the basic 1-star ending. This involves surviving all five nights from 12 AM to 6 AM against reimagined versions of the original game’s animatronics. This might sound straightforward, but suspense lurks at every corner.
As you approach 4 AM on Night 5, Buddy—the in-game host—pulls a “Just Monica” surprise and decides he’s not ready to say farewell. Following an unsettling introduction that could evoke shivers akin to The Walten Files, Buddy immerses you into Night 6. In this tense stretch, you will face Buddy in all his eerie, spindly glory, using everything you’ve learned from prior nights to survive until 6 AM to secure the 1-star ending.
How to Discover the Elusive Red Star Ending in FNAF 1 Remake
After successfully completing the game, direct your attention to the top right corner of the screen where you’ll navigate the Extras menu. Eventually, the window title will shift from “FNAF 1 Remake” to “FIND ME, I’M WAITING FOR YOU.” When you return to the title screen, it will transform into “THE ANSWER IS HERE, FIND IT.”
Your hunt continues; locate a black door icon hidden in the bottom left corner of the screen. Clicking on it allows you to confront a hooded Marionette. They will reveal Buddy’s captivity of the animatronics and offer a chance for escape. They request you to retrieve five objects hidden throughout the Pizzeria to perform a ritual aimed at liberating Buddy’s prisoners.
Where to Find Hidden Objects in FNAF 1 Remake
Each of the five nights contains an object—a jittering, photorealistic eye—concealed on one of the Pizzeria’s cameras. Fortunately, you won’t need to replay the entire game; simply use the Night Selection option in the Extras menu to revisit each night and locate the objects. The game saves your progress once you retrieve an artifact, allowing you to exit after collection.
| Night | Hidden Object Location |
|---|---|
| Night 1 | Camera 06, in the middle of the light. |
| Night 2 | Camera 07, on the floor in the hallway. |
| Night 3 | Camera 04, near the drawings. |
| Night 4 | Camera 05, in the corner where the walls meet. |
| Night 5 | Camera 06, on the poster. |
Once you’ve secured all the artifacts, return to the Marionette’s secret chamber to hand them over. The Marionette will then assign you a final task: to delve into the game’s raw data and complete a pixelated mini-game. Collect all the balloons you encounter while evading Buddy. You’ll notice a 10-second countdown whenever Buddy is about to approach, requiring you to find refuge in the dark pixels when they flash.
Upon completing the mini-game, a special surprise from the developer awaits you—one I won’t spoil here! Return to the title screen, and you’ll be rewarded with a shiny red star as a symbol of your achievement.
