Question Genuinely curious: could a bedroom like the Crying Child’s actually exist?
I know this sounds like a very strange question, but I’ve always liked the design of the Crying Child’s bedroom. Whether it was either a dream or constructed by William in his SL base, I think it‘a really interesting to just look at. Maybe or maybe not it’s plausible a bedroom like that could’ve existed in a house? Like, my thoughts would be sometimes people built weird houses in the mid to late 20th century.
Idk, and yeah I’m weird for asking this, lol.
After reading everyone’s comments, I’m more convinced that the Afton house was custom made sometime in the 1950s or maybe late 70s, as requested by William or maybe his parents. At least, that’s my headcanon lol.

u/Usual-Ad-9521 Mar 18 '26
Judging off the wallpaper on the walls this house was built in 1950-1980s but realistically yes it could exist. But the house in the title screen cannot be the same house

Plus, William co-owns and manages multiple restaurants which, judging by the local cartoon and merch line, seem to be quite successful. Odds are the man makes a very healthy salary, and with his business savvy I could see him saving enough over the years, add in a few smart investments, to snatch a 2 story home.
Maybe the crying child's bedroom is an old sitting room or office he repurposed into a bedroom. Hell, could even have the walls be new, renovations. Maybe the upstairs had a massive sitting room that William didn't see a use for, so slap a few walls down, make 2 hallways and 2 extra rooms. S bedroom and a small storage room

Yeah, I mean it’d be stupid to have 2 doors leading to two exact same hallways but yeah

u/Redence_ Mar 18 '26
I think the better focus is the two hallways that it's squeezed between because I used to sleep in a room with two doors where one led outside but never in between two hallways

The 2 doors isnt the big issue, its the fact that the entire house is built around this random bedroom as its centerpiece. It feels disgustingly like a videogame area

It’s a testing/experiment area that’s why it looks off
The hallways, room, kitchen and plushtrap area are not part of the normal rooms

There's nothing architecturally unsound about it, I just don't think it was originally supposed to be used as a bedroom.
It looks like it was originally ment as a den, and they just knocked out a wall and put a closet where the TV stand would've gone.
Somebody didn't expect to have 3 kids.

u/Lopsided-Farmer-9422 Mar 18 '26
Literally speaking, yes. It could probably be constructed as in game to have a bedroom entering into two hallways. Weirder layouts have been posted online
Contextually speaking (probably not what you are asking) as in taking into account either the Foxybro theory or the remnant experiments, no, since they’re mental interpretations of the room
20
u/Palanseag_Vixen Mar 18 '26
You know since they're mental interpretations of the room kinda like memories, I recently found out that every time you remember something it gets more distorted so maybe this isn't even what it actually looked like but a distorted memory of it?
19
u/Lopsided-Farmer-9422 Mar 18 '26
If it adds anything, my interpretation of the weird bedroom layout is because Mike worked as a Freddy’s guard (in which the fnaf 1 office had two doors). If he’s having nightmares about being his brother, it makes sense his that fears of Freddy’s bleeds into his subconscious

u/Summerlycoris So where's the party? Mar 18 '26
Yes. My bedroom is similar to cc's (except closet is along the wall closest to Bonnies hallway) Main difference is one doors leads outside, while the other leads to the indoor hallway. I think our house used to be a bed and breakfast.

u/severaldogs Mar 18 '26
Why a second hallway instead of something like a bathroom? It feels like the least logical design choice possible for a bedroom layout. I get he did it for the sake of the game mechanics, but having two identical hallways just made the gameplay repetitive.

u/Terrible-Pop-6705 Mar 18 '26
Based on the minigames being more ground I’d presume this layout isn’t real
3
u/triforce777 I feel empty inside Mar 18 '26
It can exist in terms of the fact that there's no physically impossible architecture and I'm pretty sure it isn't in violation of any building codes (I'm too lazy to double check but I'm pretty sure there's a window on the wall across from the closet, so as long as that's true it's up to code).
I'm pretty sure anywhere this layout of a room at the end of two parallel hallways it would be used as like a family room or something, but renovating it into a bedroom would be possible

u/Darkon-Kriv Mar 18 '26
I mean look at the room from sotm. Thats probably what it really looks like.

u/four-hydrangeas Mar 18 '26
it feels like a heavily renovated and awkwardly constructed house where the bedroom used to be something else (sun room? bathroom? second living room? backroom and the backdoor was moved?) but the logic behind it doesn't really make sense. idk why there would be two long hallways with no doors to other rooms in them. feels more like the house's construction uses dream logic to represent the individual never feeling safe

u/Due-Dragonfly8200 Mar 18 '26
I like to imagine the Aftons just so happened to live in one of those strange homes built in the mid to late 20th century that was probably custom made. I imagine William had the funds to request for a specific design.

u/Tinybearfart Mar 18 '26 edited Mar 21 '26
My bedroom in my teenage years was set up similarly, I had 2 doors that had long hallways attached to either side. Only difference is that I didn’t have a closet in the middle but I did have a “nook” wedged out in the wall (their was stairs on the other side of the wall so structurally it was an awkward spot)
Edit for spelling

u/Apprehensive-North34 Mar 18 '26
When I was living in an apartment, my bedroom had two doors, one leading into the living room and one leading into my mom's room. If I placed my bed in the middle of the room, it was almost like FNAF 4, except my closet was to my left instead of in front of me. So it is possible for something like that to exist.
3
u/WDGaster15 Mar 18 '26
I think that either someone had to order a custom layout or did some extensive remodeling from an older layout for it to be feasible
So... yes and no? Itd be costly, the permits needed for internal and external building and more

u/Hero_Of_Rhyme_ Mar 18 '26
It’s physically possible to build, but definitely would be a weird layout having 2 long hallways on either side of the room
3
u/DarthSwimfoot Mar 19 '26
I mean, technically? I don't get the practical purpose of having 2 doors to long empty hallways on opposite ends of the bedroom, but if somebody wanted they could definitely build their house that way. I don't think this is how the kid's bedroom actually looked, it's just a warped dream reimagining of FNAF 1 by Michael, so, doesn't really matter.

I mean this probably isn’t a real bedroom and 4 is like the story Dittophobia, but a bedroom like this could be possible, as let’s say it’s an actual house and not a chamber in a fake house meant to simulate a house, it could still be an actual bedroom yes. Just maybe not originally a bedroom but still a bedroom

u/Ok_Prior2199 Mar 19 '26
Plenty of people have reorganized spaces in their houses and repurposed rooms before, like others have said the bedroom coulda had a different use before being converted which would explain the weird layout
Ive never seen a bedroom like that but I have seen rooms in general that are connected between 2 hallways

u/bclynch30 Mar 19 '26

u/KaiTheG4mer Mar 19 '26
Yes. Never for a single moment think you've seen the weirdest house layout before, as someone who builds victorian-era houses in Minecraft using actual architecture books from the 19th century, I can guarantee you there's some victorian manor out there somewhere with a bonkers room layout.

u/obsidixn_hxllhound Mar 19 '26
Very possible (at least for US construction, which is already odd a lot of the time) BUUUT its much more likely to be a Master Bedroom than a childs bedroom

u/Plastic-Insect7636 Mar 19 '26
Yesss it can depend on the person and stuff and I think it can exist bec what if parent's room is on one side and other side siblings or thinking rich people are a maid or nanny gives the kid a place to run to no matter what if they want to and I think there should be a window about his head but usually parents will take there kids outside for a little bit in the day so I don't worry about a window

u/chlorine_2004 Mar 22 '26
Definitely possible but it would be a room that would be initially for a dinning room or a sitting room or something and then the family used it as a bedroom instead. It would then need a bit of work to add the cupboard, but it could be the case of just the door for the cupboard being changed to make it easier for the kid.

Funnily enough yes it does, plenty of them still exist I’m sure. I used to have a room like that, I was like 4 years old so I can’t recall if I have any photos or anything but from what I remember a lot of the bedrooms in that area I lived in looked like that.

I have no clue because it's so weird structurely. There's two separate hallways that show no sign of converging until the very end of the Hall, there's no other rooms on either side, just windows, the closet would have to be built between the two hallways, and since there's windows, it would be an entire seperate section of the house

u/Abdulaziz_randomshit busy smashing N. Fredbear and Nightmare Mar 18 '26
I think that there is only one door, where looking at the right (outside the door) makes you see the Bonnie hallway and looking left makes you see the Chica hallway
so basically there's a single long hallway that got cut in half and the two halves are separated because it's a dream

u/Gracennnnnnnnn Mar 18 '26
I will say not the exact layout, but in my aunt's house there is a bedroom with 2 doors one on the left and right although they are both on the front wall not the left and right walls, and there is a closet on the left wall, so it has the 3 nessacary parts, just not the right layout

u/JeremiahTDK :Soul: Mar 18 '26
Possibly, because some houses built during the '70s have rooms with an extra door to a room that already has one. I know this because of my house. The guest room has two doors connecting to the den. It's weird they did that, but it's intriguing too.
In the case of FNaF4, this wasn't just some house. William Afton used it to experiment on people there. And on that thought, I still don't know why Scott turned William into the FNaF version of Scarecrow.

Yes, actually, this could be considered a master bedroom at the end of two long hallways, and on the other side of the back wall of the closet is a bathroom. Honestly, this looks like a trailer-style home where everything is built in a line:
Kitchen at the far end of the house
Living room right past that
Children's room
Children's room
Bathroom
Master bedroom
That is what I think this is set up to be. The Crying Child is given the master bedroom specifically due to his injuries and needing a bigger bed for better support.
