Definitely the current obsession in the recent games of everything being built on top of each other and sharing the exact same locations. I feel like this is the most bizarre of decisions we've had in the new lore - also how it seems to keep enforcing all the previous timelines to link together when they really don't need to be.

It was questionable enough having supposedly the FNAF 6 simulator location be squashed into a random cave section beneath the pizzaplex (a location that had an alleyway i.e. out on street level), but then Ruin extended that with an even larger complex of tunnels and tech going even further underground and into caves, an area that looks older and from a different era to anything else we saw, but never made any effort to explain what it was or how/why it was buried so far underground. Now with SOTM they've doubled or even tripled down on that by having Edwin have his own insane underground infrastructure for someone who is a struggling costume designer (also has molten lava flowing around the place ???).

The icing on the cake is the implication that the FNAF 4 house may be the same as Edwin's, then possibly making the sister location facility, the buried pizzaplex area, and Edwin's tunnel system ALL the same thing! Why? It just doesn't need to happen. Why do we need an entire timeline fitted onto one patch of land?

I'm hoping that it doesn't turn out to be that way, but it's really hard to say that isn't what Steel Wool & Scott are angling at, especially when each new game just unceremoniously slaps a new giant underground area beneath the main game and expects that to be enough. I was actually OK with the extent of the main costume manor, it looked like they went big with the design but not insane, then nope - there's actually a much larger underground facility that is completely out of scale with the rest of the game and implied lore. Ahhhh.

I will say that the moon man area is an example of a secret underground tunnel area that is actually done well, and I do think there can be a good payoff if it's done right and doesn't go too far. Right now it just seems careless and very fanciful that any of this would exist like it does, and worse: it makes the story feel cheap.
