In the timeline, FNAF 3 takes place before the events of FNAF 1 and 2. This game takes place in the first location of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, not the original Fredbear Diner. In FNAF 3, the Phone Guy explains that Freddy’s has two specially designed spring lock suits that double as animatronics and suits. The animatronics are still allowed to walk around freely during the day, which means this takes place before 1987, aka FNAF 2, where animatronics are restricted to only walking around freely at night. The suits are a Golden Bonnie and Golden Freddy. We learn about the failures of the spring lock suits, and the company has deemed the suits unfit for employees. Two employees are killed by the failure of a Bonnie Suit and a Freddy suit. This is believed to be the origin of Shadow Bonnie and Shadow Freddy, which appear at the end of FNAF 2. Shadow Bonnie and Shadow Freddy are tied to the ghosts of the employees who died in the spring suits.
