The Big Letter Scavenger Hunt and Theory Thread (The big teaser thread)
Comments

if it makes a bigot money it doesn't matter if 'they don't reflect the opinions'
see e.g. Rowling and the new HP game.
as for the lgbtq+ stuff: The fnaf creator (albeit he 'officially' steps down from fnaf now) has voiced and defended some severely nasty anti-lgbtq+ stuff.
As for why fnaf wouldn't work:
Fnaf is a game that does excel in what made the games stand out: The feeling of claustrophobia and paranoia. Now, a lot of horror games use similar techniques, but credit where it's due, fnaf did a good job with using these elements.
Now, in DbD you can't really do that, so sure, you'd have the character, but it'd be a hollow shell as you can't really mimic the sense of claustrophobia and paranoia in dbd.
There have been several threads musing about potential perks, but never really gameplay. And the few i saw either had gameplay that would require complete unique mechanics for a single character, or would end up giving us a killer that would make spirit look like trickster in comparison (and that's no good).
In the worst case we'd have a repeat of the RE chapter:
big, windy indoormap and a killer that quickly loses his novelty due to being underwhelming/annoying for both sides.

Does the police character used for the s reminds something? Or it is tied to this particular map?

Imagine getting political over a dark image with twelve pixels at best.
Looking at that zoomed image of "Springtrap" we're getting 50 shades of gray lmao.

I really, REALLY do not want this thread to go off-topic. Please, take the Cawthon discussion elsewhere.

There's another thread where the OP found the shadows on the ground to form an A and a W. Like SAW but written WAS.
Do you think it could be a Spiral chapter?
3 -
I don't think it will be, but I rationally can't rule it out either.
At the very least, Slenderman seems very unlikely, as it does not include an i.

From what I know Scott donated money to some anti-LGBT politicians.

Trickster S tier confirmed
3 -
Literally exactly what I'm thinking of, also dont forget plushtrap from fnaf 4

... I'll be honest. If it's Springtrap I'm gonna be a little disappointed. I was hoping for Candyman, but, hey. At least the fnaf Fandom gets their dream killer
0 -
Also, Slenderman is a meme, right? I'm not an expert about horror license, but it'd make more sense to me to use a game/movie/book rather than a meme, even if it's well-known.
But maybe the S isn't tied to the name of the character, but its power... (If we agree it's about the Killer.)
Why this map? It's the Nurse's map. With a hospital... I don't know, we should have more to go tomorrow!
0 -
Apparently everyone here forgot that Nurse’s real name is Sally Smithson, and that this could have very easily just been her favourite bench that she decided to carve out a “S” on
2 -
Interesting! I have to admit I forgot about her name. Maybe it's linked to her lore then.
0 -
Bit weird to allude to, isn't it? She already had her tome. It's teaser time anyway.
1 -
Oooooooo now I am excited.
S could be for Saw or Springtrap!!!!
2 -
that’s why I find it a bit strange that everyone suddenly noticed a S on a bench on NURSE’S map and suddenly thought “Is this a reference to the new chapter?”
I’m all for making theories and looking at Twitter for references and clues but at some point you have to draw a difference between something that makes sense and a reach that stretches so far it’s left the atmosphere and is currently grasping a moon rock
1 -
How long has the S been there? It seems super prominent now than before
0 -
Look, man, there’s at least three of these threads now, and one of them asked for screen shots. I’m having a hard time keeping them straight.
0 -
I’m going to make a guess and say it’s always been there, but no one’s bothered taking a hard look at it until now because they were busy playing the game rather then analysing benches
1 -
Is the S also in-game?? It seemed like something only in the picture.
1 -
THis is not exactly on the bench, is it? it's very clearly in the smoke.
1 -
I haven’t bothered checking in game for myself yet due to queue times taking forever but I imagine it will be there if you check
0 -
I think someone posted a screen with the in-game bench a couple of pages ago. I'll try to find it back (and copy the link of the post if I can on mobile.)
1 -
Well Fazbear Fright's was a Haunted house attraction in a Carnival so.......bet its Springtrap
1 -
correction: no one bothered checking the planter box because they were too busy playing the game
1 -
I don’t think so. As the double i is also not present in-game but in the other Twitter image.
0 -
Thanks!
you can copy links on mobile by clicking long on the time the post was posted I think
0 -
Shoot, I've already quoted the message. I've tagged you in it, it's above yours. But thanks, I'll know for next time!
3 -
It's not even on the planter box, though. Look closely, it's just projected in the smoke. I'm pretty darn sure someone like Paulie Esther would have known about this S if it was there before.
1 -
Worked that way as well, thanks :)
well, the angle isn’t really perfect to determine if the S is there.. but it doesn’t seem like it..
0 -
I’m still sceptical about it actually meaning anything, 1 letter projected in a completely ordinary fire-barrel and a typo could mean quite literally anything at this point
0 -
Me and my friend are in a KYF and, can confirm, the S is NOT there. Or, we're blind.
2 -
I'm unfortunatelly not on my PC right now, it's almost midnight where I live, but tomorrow, if I get the map, I'll try to waste some time checking for it. But...
And the answer:
3 -
The S might be for shark, and as for those two letter I's in circus? What has two eyes? A shark.
It's Jaws!
6 -
Ace got a fisherman outfit. We should known it was a teaser!
2 -
The last survivor was called Jill. Which can also be spelled Gill. What has gills?
6 -
And sharks smell fishy! Probably.
7 -
Could it be a Siren killer? The image with the clowns is what's confusing me.
2 -
Say his name? Could also just be summer.
1 -
Woah, look at this charm from this rift
It's a pineapple! You know what lives in a Pineapple under the sea!? SHARKS!!! 😱😱😱
8 -
Actually good point.
most of those teases/hints we got were misleading. So it would be surprising if the letter would hint directly towards the killers name
3 -
Having read the entire thread, though, I can see why people would think it's a FNAF chapter. That shape does resemble an animatronic from the series, although I think the "ear" could just be a crow.
1 -
To be honest, I do hope it isn't Springtrap. The games itself are fine, I played them years ago (my younger sister was a much bigger fan, I was just a casual player) but that fandom is really one that does not need to cross over to this community.
3 -
In my imagination.
11 -
This is the bunny from Silent Hill, the S means Silent Hill, and it's on a map with an hospital.
We will get a new Silent Hill chapter! (OK, I'm just tired.)
Unless...
The S colour and the police character seems familiar.
I mean, it's probably not related, we already got a Silent Hill chapter, but the hint leads to a lot of things right now.
2 -
What is an Ace? A Card.
How many clowns were in the Tweet? 2
What is the opposite of a Happy Circus? A Dark Carnival.
Whose name that starts with "S"? Shaggy 2 Dope
It's an Insane Clown Posse chapter.
1 -
I was trying to do a search to see if there was a clown in Candyman. This came up and is all over the first search page. Probably a stretch though:
2 -
John Wayne Gracy… I believe there was a connection with that name in relation to DbD’s Clown. Couldn’t for the life of me tell you the details though.
1 -
It seems like the discussion we were speaking on has been deleted... 🤷🏻♀️
We were too accurate on the theories! (It's very late, forgive me!)
