Old Candy acts as the replacement for The Cat and is one of the antagonists in Five Nights at Candy's and Five Nights at Candy's Remastered. He, along with The Rat, had been scrapped and stored in the Parts & Service room. He is replaced by his newer counterpart for the current Candy's Burgers & Fries, Candy the Cat.
Old Candy doesn't appear in the main gameplay of Five Nights at Candy's 2, but he is seen in Night 6's Minigames.
He also doesn't appear in the main gameplay of Five Nights at Candy's 3, but he is seen in the Candy's Adventure minigame.
Appearance
FNaC 1
Old Candy looks much larger and bulkier than Candy, as well as having dark blue fur. Like Cat, he lacks a tie, and more of his endoskeleton is exposed. His shoulders are barely covered, and his endoskeleton is showing, along with some wires traveling down his arms.
At first glance, he seems to lack eyes altogether. On closer inspection, he appears to have eyes, however they are completely dark. His pupils do not light up, making him the only other animatronic in the game besides The Rat whose eyes do not appear on the cameras without using night vision. This makes him hard to see when at the doorway as well.
FNaC 2
In the minigames, Old Candy appears to be the same as he was in the first game, having a lack of eyes and a darker color than Candy. However, as he only appears in glimpses into the past, he is in his better state of repair as seen in the 1964 Cutscenes from the first game. He only appears in three of the minigames after Night 2 first seen in the Penguin minigame in a filing cabinet and two times being in his full working condition.
FNaC 3
In the minigames, Old Candy appears to be the same as his original design, but with a more cartoonish design.
Gameplay
Mechanics
Old Candy's jumpscare.
Old Candy remains inactive until Night 3, being able to only appear on cameras 10 (Parts & Services, location of your starting point), 9, and 8, but not being able to get close to the player's door.
From Night 4 onwards, he officially starts to become very active in attacking you, leaving his hiding place in CAM 10. The next representation of him will show him after leaving it, standing in the middle of the room and looking at the player. After that, Old Candy slowly travels through CAMs 9, 8, 7, and 6 until he reaches the player's left door.
It should be noted that because he does not have glowing eyes, there will be no way to see him in the cameras unless the player uses night vision. This also applies to when Old Candy is at the player's door; the only way to see if Old Candy is at the door is by looking extremely closely. If he is there, there is a hint of blue that you may be able to see. This hint of blue is present in the original game, but not FNaC Remastered.
Without the Cameras, The player can tell if he is at the door by listening closely for a mild humming sound.
If the player doesn't act after a few seconds the sound will change to a much louder, electric humming sound, which provides a warning to the player that they have to close the left door to prevent Old Candy from disabling the door & entering the office.
The humming sound is entirely absent in the remaster, however.
It should be noted that in Night 5 Old Candy becomes extremely aggressive, and if the player is not careful he will likely be the first to kill them. The player should constantly check Cam 06 to see if Old Candy is at the door, and also check Cam 11 to keep track of Blank. You DO NOT NEED to spend time keeping track of the other animatronics in the cameras, but rather constantly flip down the camera after checking Cam 06 and Cam 011 to check each door twice.
Minigame
FNaC 2
In Old Candy's first minigame, it is 1976 and he is instructed to "Follow". Eventually, Shadow Candy will appear and will lead the player to Parts & Services. A technician is at the table. He will turn around and run at Old Candy, ending the minigame.
In his second minigame, it is 1987; the entire restaurant is filled with people, and he is instructed to "Help". Shadow Candy once again leads Old Candy, this time to the Office where a child is shown crying. After seeing Old Candy and becoming happy, the player follows him to a man, who is shown to be scolding the child. Old Candy will approach the man, and the minigame will end.
FNaC 3
In the Candy's Adventure mini-game, the longest of all the mini-games, Old Candy is trying to make his way to the Dog Boss at the end of the game. You start with five hearts and can replenish them throughout the map by breaking obvious or secret blocks in the walls.
Doing so will give you either hearts, white wings which increase your jump height, blue claws which increase your scratch range, and/or orange claws which increase your scratch damage.
You can also find +5 Hearts in at least two secret areas which increase your maximum HP. Once you make it to the Dog Boss and defeat it, the game scrolls to a section with texture corruption, and glitches to a minigame.
Trivia
- He is one of the three animatronics that is not shown in the trailer, the other ones being The Penguin and The Rat.
- He does not have eyes glowing when he is at the right door, like the Rat at both doors and Blank behind the Window.
- He emits the same jumpscare sound as Blank.
- Although he has no glowing eyes, you can still see him in the doorway where a small portion of blue is. It can either indicate he or The Rat is there since The Rat's eyes also do not glow and he appears in both doorways.
- Even though he is decommissioned, Old Candy seems relatively undamaged, especially compared to the withered animatronics from Five Nights at Freddy's 2. However, he does have more of his endoskeleton exposed than Candy does, and he is missing his eyes.
- The humming sound Old Candy emits when he is at the door can also used to tell if The Rat is at the doors on later nights, which can be very useful to the player on 7/20 mode.
- In Backstage 2, the cardboard cut-out head is presumably the cartoon version of old Candy, as it resembles him and looks very different compared to the cartoon version of the newer Candy.
- Old Candy’s design was most likely inspired by the popular 1940-80’s American TV show "Tom and Jerry," as evidenced by the cartoonish cardboard cutout of his head in cam 07, and the overall inspiration/ inclusion of Tom and Jerry, and its music (composed by Scott Bradley) in the franchise.
- In Old Candy's first teaser, brightening it up will reveal the text "Cam 12" and "I see you." Cam 12 is not a place where Old Candy goes, so maybe Cam 12 was the beta location for Parts & Services.
- However, Cam 12 is one of the locations in Five Nights at Candy's 2.
- Old Candy was put into retirement after the Night 6 Minigame of FNaC 2, judging from the Night 3 phone message from Five Nights at Candy's Remastered.
- In the original FNaC, he started moving on Night 3 onwards, but in the Remastered version, this was changed to Night 4.
- The non-canon Nightmare Candy appears to be based on his design.
