Unpacking the Mystery Behind Jeremy's Paycheck in Five Nights at Freddy's '5'

In the realm of survival horror games like Five Nights At Freddy’s, every detail matters. From cryptic messages on old paychecks to mysterious phone calls during dead-of-night shifts, players are constantly encouraged to think critically about even seemingly innocuous information.

One such instance can be found in the game's sixth installment: 6th Night Call. Among other enigmatic details is Jeremy's paycheck for five nights of work at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. Upon closer inspection, this mundane-looking document reveals a wealth of interesting facts and potential Easter eggs waiting to be uncovered by astute players.

Firstly, let us examine the monetary aspect of Jeremy's employment. According to his pay stub, he earned $100.50 for five nights (or 30 hours) on shift. By dividing this figure by 30, we arrive at an hourly wage of approximately $3.35 per hour worked.

Interestingly enough, this calculated hourly rate ($3.35) aligns almost precisely with the United States Federal minimum wage in effect during that time period – specifically, 1987. This synchronization between game lore and real-world economic realities adds another layer of depth to the overall narrative experience offered by Five Nights At Freddy’s.

Moreover, upon closer inspection of Jeremy's paycheck date (11-12-87), some astute players have speculated about its potential significance. Could this particular date – November 11th/12th – be more than mere coincidence? One theory suggests that it may indeed reference the actual release date for Five Nights At Freddy’s 2, which happened to fall on November 10th (in North America). While not directly confirmed by the game's developers or publishers, this possibility certainly warrants further investigation and speculation among dedicated fans of the franchise.

Finally, a brief aside should be made regarding Phone Guy's characterization of Jeremy's job as being part of an ongoing 'summer' shift. Given that we know from other in-game sources (such as security footage logs) that events unfold across multiple seasons – including winter and possibly even into fall – this seemingly innocuous detail may actually hold deeper significance when considered within the larger context of Five Nights At Freddy’s lore.

In conclusion, while Jeremy's paycheck might initially appear to be nothing more than a mundane piece of in-game paperwork, upon closer inspection it reveals itself to be brimming with hidden meaning and potential narrative threads waiting to be pulled apart by resourceful players willing to dig deeper. So next time you find yourself on shift at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza – keep your wits about you; even the most seemingly ordinary-looking documents can sometimes hide a dark secret or two...
