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

EDIT 8 (teaser trailer)

I shouldn't even need to point out the 19:87.

Current standing: R A I S E H E L L (or H E L L R A I S E r if you prefer)

Potentially could also include: R T

I'll update this thread when there are more suspicious tweets. I'll leave most of the thread as is, to keep it recognisable, though (and to be perfectly honest, cba to format something that’s gonna be irrelevant in a few weeks' time).

Please, to ensure you do not post theories that already have been discussed, read the whole thread. Saves us all a lot of time. Also, we don't want theory threads flooding the forum, so it would also be great if you could keep it all here in one place.

Also, please keep discussions about whether FNaF is a morally just addition out of here. Would be a damn shame if this thread got closed over that.

Without further ado...

OP (S):

A few minutes ago, DbD's Twitter just posted this:

That is quite unmistakably an S.

EDIT 1 (I):

At what I assume is the same time, this was also posted on other platforms:

Notably, it seems Ace is trapped in a cage in the bottom left.

Also of note is that when comparing the board itself to how it appears in-game:

On the Facebook image, Circus is spelled with two i's -- Ciircus. In-game, that typo doesn't appear. It can also be said that the ii's vaguely resemble candles. Take that as you will.

EDIT 2 (A):

Well.

Since some theories are being made around the amount of A's here, there's also

This is only 5 Japanese (I think) A's. A noteworthy difference. Perhaps it's a clue as well?

EDIT 3 (maaaaaybe RT):

Almost immediately followed by:

Are those 2 more letters? Or are they indeed just a Red Herring?

EDIT 4 (R):

DbD's Twitter's profile picture just changed:

Even if you didn't believe the "rt" thing, THAT is an R.

That makes:

S I A R (or S I A R R T)

Now having at the very least 1 R:

Candyman is already out

Isabel is out.

”Say it/my name” is out

Pennywise is already out

EDIT 5 (DECONFIRMED H):

WARNING: THIS ONE IS DEBUNKED PROPER

Bit of confusion with this one on my end, my apologies.

However...

An H

I REPEAT THIS HAS BEEN DEBUNKED.

EDIT 5,5:

Twice over, flat-out denial, as opposed to acting oblivious.

EDIT 6 (E):

An E.

Well, there goes Springtrap. Oh well.

S A I R E

Hellraiser?

Is that a pin?

I can confirm the pin is NOT in-game, making it a potential hint.

EDIT 7 (H E L L)

In the official DbD Discord, 4 audio clips were uploaded (which I can't upload to the forums):

Putting them in the correct order (4132) creates the survivor theme. When edited together, and putting it through a spectrogram we get:

H E L L

H E L L R A I S E r ?
