Teasers:
-The first teaser showed 17 lines.
-The next image added an "I"
-The next image added another, "I"
-The next image added an "O"
-The next image added another "O" and had an A dropping in.
-The next image revealed the title, "Sister Location" with "there was never just one" under it, and Baby's face in the back.
-The next image was a picture of Baby with the title and "everyone, please stay in your seats" under it.
-The next image was Ennard with "there's a little of me in every body" next to it. Many assumed this character would be either the next Mangle or Marionette.
-The next image shows 7 BidyBab's, with "don't hold it against us" under them, and if the image is brightened, Baby will be behind them.
-The next image shows a strange machine with the words, "get back on your stage. NOW." If the image is brightened, 4 ballerinas can be assumed. Many assumed they were 4 Ballora's, but now we know they are 4 Minireena's.
-The next image showed, "Cancelled due to leaks." Many assumed this was saying the game was cancelled due to leaks of the game. But in reality, if the image is brightened, it shows a newspaper text saying that the restaurant of Baby's was cancelled due to GAS leaks.
-The next image showed Ennard's mask.
-The next image showed a map of the location.
-The next image showed Ennard's mask, but in the light, with a release date.
-The next image was the release date, Ennard's mask is gone now.
-The next image was simply pitch black for some reason.
-The next image teased a custom night after the game's release, showing BidyBab and Bon-Bon in the vents. Bon Bon never actually goes in the vents in the real game.
-The final image was again for the custom night, where Funtime Freddy is seen staring at a camera with "Are you ready for round 2?" at the bottom, which he actually says in the game.
Trailer:
The trailer shows the previous game teasing that Freddy's isn't the only location in the franchise. It was theorized back then that the game took place in an apocalyptic future due to the advanced animatronics and siren sound at the end. It was also theorized Baby was the one saying, "don't hold it against us" but it was actually BidyBab. It's still unknown what that line means, or what "you don't know what we've been through" means.
Quotes (NOTE: Not every quote is in here):
"There was never just one."
"Everyone, please stay in your seats."
"There's a little of me in every body."
"Don't hold it against us."
"Get back on your stage, NOW!"
"Deep below ground."
"Where memories sleep."
"And secrets don't keep."
"Anger is restless."
"You don't know what we've been through."
Plot:
You are a night-guard and you need to survive five nights at Freddy's Sister Location. Unlike the previous games, you get to somewhat walk around this place and have tasks you have to complete in a week. Circus Baby will guide you on how to deal with her friends, while the others all try to make sure you don't last a day.
Gameplay (MAIN):
Unlike the other games, you do not need to close security doors or check cameras, you instead have to do some work tasks and have to fend yourself from enemies while doing so. But then there's the custom night where it's back to basics.
Night 1:
Night 1 is uneventful. You exit the elevator, give Ballora and Funtime Foxy controlled shocks in the control module, and then give Baby some control shocks in the Circus Gallery.
Night 2:
This night will be like the previous one except that shocking Baby doesn't work because the power went out, and your guide tries to find the issue, so you have to hide under a table and make sure BidyBab's don't open the hatch and kill you. When the guide comes back, you then have to go to Ballora Gallery to reach the Power Controls. You have to walk slowly to avoid her. When you get to the Controls, you have to keep Funtime Freddy away from you while you reboot all the systems and get the power back, then you must go back to the exit through Ballora Gallery again.
Night 3:
On Night 3, you now have to go through Funtime Auditorium and make sure not to activate Funtime Foxy, when you reach the ending, you will get to the Parts and Service Room and have to click buttons to fix Funtime Freddy. Bon Bon will try to kill you when you have to click on him.
Night 4:
On Night 4, you are inside a springlock suit and have to wiggle to keep Minireena's off while also winding up the springlocks. This night lasts 3 minutes so you have to try to make sure no Minireena makes it to the top, and that the springlocks don't come loose.
Night 5:
On Night 5, you again have to go through Funtime Auditorium but Funtime Foxy is gone. When you reach Parts and Service, you have to enter a code Baby gives you on her, and then take a card, then you follow her instructions to reach the scooping room. If you ignore her directions and take the upper right path, you will end up in an office like FNAF 1 where you have to survive 12-6AM against fast draining power and Ennard.
Gameplay (Minigames):
Minigames are both games and cutscenes.
1. There is only one minigame in this game, where you play as Baby and give cupcakes to children. Pink cupcakes are 1 cupcake. Blue cupcakes blast 3 cupcakes in different directions, and a green cupcake blasts 1 cupcake that keep going even after being launched at a child, so it goes to the next child. If you fall off a ledge or run out of time, Baby will disintegrate. But if you give a cupcake to every single child in the level, then the timer will go slower and the music will also go slow and distorted. An ice-cream will appear at the end right before the finish line, you have to get it and then walk all the way back to the beginning of the level, and when you reach the end, you have to click the launch button like you did with the cupcake, and then a cutscene will play.
Cutscenes:
1. After you complete the Baby minigame and launch an ice-cream, a little girl will walk up to Baby, and Baby will kill her. There will be a loud sound and the minigame turns to a black screen as it plays.
2. After every night, you end up back home watching a TV show called, "The Immortal and the Restless" there are 4 episodes, and one of them can only be accessed if you complete the fake ending.
3. After you complete a custom night challenge on very hard mode each, you will be shown a cutscene of Michael Afton walking down the street. Throughout every cutscene, he will turn darker, then green, then blue, until he's purple. His neighbors all wave at him but some stop and look more concerned, as it goes on, more and more people are concerned, when he turns purple, people hide from him. Michael on the final cutscene spits Ennard out into the sewer and falls. Baby's voice echoes saying, "you won't die" and then he stands up.
4. After completing Golden Freddy mode on very hard mode on the custom night, you are shown a cutscene of a destroyed building with Michael telling his father that he freed his sister, and that he's been living in the shadows due to his conditions, and that now he is going to go find his father. At the end of the cutscene, the Fazbear Frights sign shows up and Springtrap pops up to reveal himself.
Story (Spoilers):
Michael Afton was sent by his father to go look for his sister and free her soul. He takes the job at Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals and works as a technician, where he completes tasks, it is unknown story wise, why he does any of these stuff instead of ignoring the instructions and just looking for his sister. At the end of the game, he is tricked by Baby and then scooped by the scooper, where the animatronics, now formed as Ennard after dismantling themselves and becoming one, use Michael's body as a vessel so they can go to the outside world. This doesn't last long as Michael spits them out. Michael survives and goes to look for his father.
Story (Non-Canon, Game Over)
The animatronics are programmed to kill, so if they find you, they kill you. Baby does not kill you as she needs you for her plan, but the rest kill you anyway, even as Ennard, as they are not as aware as Baby.

Easter Eggs:
-Sometimes Lolbit's mask will appear in the Control Room and replace Ennard's mask. Possibly meaning Lolbit is canon.
-Sometimes Yenndo will appear in Funtime Auditorium, meaning Yenndo is possibly canon.
-Sometimes a Minireena will appear in the Control Room.
-Sometimes a Minireena appears in Michael's house, either on the side or in the popcorn bowl.
-Sometimes BidyBab will appear in the window of the elevator, the Circus Gallery control window, or in Michael's house.
-When you enter an area, or start the game, sometimes blue-prints will appear of the animatronics.
-In Ballora Gallery, you can activate a glitch that makes the screen turn blue and show random numbers. This doesn't mean anything and seems to be some code left in the game for some reason.
Endings:
Real Ending:
In the real ending, Ennard kills Michael with the scooper and the game ends. You must play the night in the intended way to get this ending.
Fake Ending:
To get this ending, you must ignore Baby's instructions and go to the upper right, where you will go into a room and do FNAF 1 again with Ennard. When you complete this night, you go home, and when the episode ends, Ennard comes in. It is unknown if the fake ending is a LITERAL fake ending or not since Baby's, "you won't die" line still appears in the Michael cutscenes, and also, Ennard coming into the house implies Michael dies in both endings. It also possibly implies the Sister Location bunker IS in the Afton house, since Ennard comes in.
Custom Night Ending:
Mentioned already.
