The new game that I’m working on will be called ‘FNAF World.’ It will not be a horror game, but a role playing game where you create a party using the huge selection of characters from the ‘FNaF’ games, including the classic, withered, toy, phantom, and nightmare versions.

When I was a vocalist, a lead singer in a rock band, I was a law student at the time. It wasn’t a professional rock band, it was for fun. I was already way out of that by the time Phantom came along. Having to learn to sing, it was such duress, having to really try and get to such a quality.
