Fun fact, surviving an elevator crash is actually extremely likely. Even in the case of full catastrophic failure, people have been known to walk away from significantly longer elevator freefalls than this one. I don't think that plays into the story at all, just something I keep thinking about. 😂
You’re right about that from Cassie to freaking Henry from Batim -you might be onto something here 🤔 (Question is how is she gonna escape the ruined pizzaplex, cause I mean I think there’s a second exit plus the one mimic tried digging it’s way out of or whatever made that hole in the tunnel underneath the fnaf 6 ruined pizzeria)
@@RyeToast While theoretically possible, it would be quite unlikely. If it was in free fall, the impact velocity would have been in the ballpark of 110mph. Then again the math also implies its around 200m deep which raises its own questions. Adults laying on their back can have a decent chance of surviving elevator falls, but a child standing is much more vulnerable. Also surviving doesn't mean you're remotely capable afterwards, you might have numerous broken bones, a concussion, and other injuries. Also idk what the knock on effects would be of that impact given the general state of decay of the area.
I think the reason Roxy survives being "shut down" is because we actually rebooted her. We do the same thing to Eclipse, where we stick the Faz-Wrench in a port on their head, they deactivate temporarily, then come back on.
Oh… That makes sense and I didn’t think about that. It very much seemed like we shut down Roxy for good in that scene so that’s why I was confused how she got back up to fight the mimic.
I have always thought the same thing,although it is slightly different. (Arguing against myself rn) When we reboot Eclipse,there is no node. With Roxy there is a node. So slightly different but i truly believe it was just a reboot. But i can see how one could make an argument it isnt the same
I've thought this since the start. Honestly baffles me how a lot more people haven't drawn this conclusion either. I chalked her taking so long to awaken from the reboot to damage, because Eclipse is significantly less damaged than anyone else on the roster.
Ok so i keep seeing this, the thing with Roxy, we dont deactivate her as the mimic says, instead its better if we take the word of a more turstworth source, Sun. And because we do the exact same thing to him that we do to Roxy that we do to Eclipse, we reboot her, not shut her down.
@@qualitytimewithted5160 Roxy may be blind but back in SB tracked Gregory by sound, that's why it could felt the weight of Mimic and told Cassie to run in her direction and if you wonder how did it stumble without any real issues it's because the Pizzaplex has no real blocked paths, it's just the AI making the layers and giving some sense (most likely to stop Cassie as she was seen as an intruder) that being said, i still don't know how Cassie managed to go from one site to another like she went through portals.
@@24Ippo The vanni network seems to function as a sort of parallel world, where digital things are dominant and the normal world is the less real one. This could explain how the portals are able to move you, as while Cassie is physical, she becomes more entangled with the code while wearing the mask, and so by moving the code she is entangled with she is effectively teleported. And perhaps Roxy is able to navigate the pizzaplex because of the green digital eyes, seeing the digital version of the pizzaplex allowing her to walk without slamming into a wall.
Fun fact! Apparently (according to a video I saw), if you have turned voices off for the section where you listen to the real Gregory talk for the first time, you can hear what the mimic is doing. Specifically, defeating Roxy and stealing her voice. It may be the Mimic we hear at the end of the neutral ending. Makes me think what else lies behind the voices.
@@georgelongcoal1117 Agreed. It also proves Gregory (or someone apart from the mimic) was in fact talking to us during the chase and giving us directions. And then I think the mimic took over while we were in the elevator and uncoupled the battery powering the elevator. And while I hope it's Roxy talking to us, we must still admit that there exists a severe possibility that it's the mimic.
have been thinking that it was the mimic since the dlc released, like bruh, the mimic WON against roxy AND is known to MIMIC others, why would it be roxy?
I think Roxy survived because ‘deactivating’ her could be like how you ‘decommission’ animatronics in the main game just for them to be back up in less than five minutes.
I don't think surviving the elevator is that unlikely tbh She was already in an area underneath the normal sublevels, how much deeper can it really go? It was probably just falling back down to a bit below where she enters the elevator, which would explain how Roxy got to her
If we believe she survives the crash, that could be the intention of the mimic, as how RyeToast explains the Brazil ending, the mimic is looking to gain a new puppet to control, since it lost GGY and Vanny. So he wasn’t ever trying to kill Cassie, but get to her and turn her. That’s the result of the Brazil ending, and could be his intention of returning Cassie to him by dropping the elevator.
One thing I noticed that doesn't get mentioned (and is probably nothing) is that eye color is used a lot to denote which character is actually "present" so to say. Like Helpy's eyes turning yellowish-orange for when the Mimic is speaking in his place. Anyway, at the elevator ending the camera on the wall has an orange lens. Just an observation.
To expand on the carnival significance, I always think of Fury's Rage, and in the background of one of the levels is a circus/carnival going on. That always stood out to me since playing that
Also also, if i remember well, in fnaf 6 there were drawings of a clown in those screens of abandoned animatronics in the alley. Could be coincidence but i guess either Scott and Steel wool always had this idea of a carnival themed game
Another point to consider with the Scooper redesign is that canonicly every fnaf game prior to Help Wanted (including Sister Location!) is made by an indie game developer hired by Fazbear Entertainment, so it could just be the case that they way the Scooper looked in Sister Location just wasn't how it actually looked like
Actually, Squawks did a map, it's not ACTUALLY the Scooper room, it's a room near the Help Wanted elevator shaft. The one we may have supposedly rode up at the end of Ruin...
From what I know, all the FNAF games are canon, because they were made to make light hearted banter about what happened. FNAF 1-4 did infact happen, including sister location. So I think that the scooper we see now is just an updated and more modern scooper, but it's not what the original scooper looked like
@@Gurglmshurv >So I think that the scooper we see now is just an updated and more modern scooper, but it's not what the original scooper looked like Except, if we started from the Fredbear's location. We end up just left of the Breaker Room on the SL map, and somewhere in between one of the "Reset" Buttons is this New Scooper. Which is kinda far from the Opposite side of the map with both the Secret Room and Scooping Room...
Why are we surprised by Roxy being alive? It makes sense based on what we know it's extremely likely that we're rebooting her just like we did Eclipse. Maybe the mimic didnt think shed follow Cassie, who knows, but we can totally buy that were just turning her off temporarily, it's just played emotionally because Cassie wouldnt know that. Secondly, I just wanted to say that several people have made compelling theories that Gregory IS in the pizza plex. He never says he ISNT there, just that Cassie shouldnt be. Also he says trapped down "here" instead of "there." Seems like an important distinction.
He does explicitly say "I've been trying to reach you all night! I'm not at the Pizza Plex! Something is trying to trick you" as one of his first lines of dialogue when the real Gregory gets a hold of Cassy
@@SD-VThe_LovablePsycho0100 oh I didnt mean to say Cassidy, I think I just put that out of habit from all the months theorizing they were the same lol. I'm not really in that boat anymore. I went back and fixed it
When the Mimic is fighting Roxy, you can hear it going through Roxy’s voicelines, testing out her voice, before you hear Roxy gasp in surprise, and then the Mimic killing her. She was probably caught of guard by the Mimic mimicking her voice, and got got. I fully believe the “Cassie” at the end of the game is the Mimic.
I don't think Roxy is dead, my reasoning is simple: "No Body, no Death". We never see Roxy's Corpse. If the Mimic was trying to Kill her, and he can, we see the strength it's got, it could likely have a scene where it tosses the Corpse of Roxy out the Door and then chases you
I honestly like to think that greg was the one talking and the mimic just awkwardly stares at the elevator door then looks down to see the battery and unplugs it. Basically i just think greg got really lucky to get that monologue in before the mimic realized the battery was there.
I've always found it wierd how Gregory knows about The Tangle and burntrap since he can draw then pretty accurately which kinda feels like confirmation that GGY is in some form canon
I saw a theory that is actually really interesting. The chase sequence through the caves perfectly fits within the map of Sister Location. ... Cassie fell into Help Wanted 2. *Tangle and Mimic aren't gone yet...*
@@Armoredmaple122 The files reveal the "Blob"/"Freddy Spaghetti"'s true name is "Tangle". Tangle is a glitch(?) enemy from FNaF_World. [Green and Purple-colored Mangle.] Just like the Mimic got its name from another FNaF_World character/attack, "Mimic Ball". The "Entity"/"Data-Bonnie"/"Shadow Bonnie"/"RWQFSFASXC" is a Dark rabbit character who appears to initially be an "Enemy", but also can be helpful. (Easter Egg in 2 & CoDB, attacks during Remnant collection in SD, and attacks in RUIN-but is revealed to NOT be evil.) The "Prototype" was an enemy in FNaF_World Update 2 who appeared as a endoskeleton with bear features-and wore a purple bowtie and had yellow eyes. Prototype Glamrock Freddy shares these details, as the Ending of Glamrock Freddy has him with Monty's claws & Chica's eyes. Hell, even Vanessa's [seemingly] random "White Rabbit" OC/Costume calls back to a glitch(?) enemy from FNaF_World, "White Rabbit", a near perfect inversion of RXQ/Shadow Bonnie. Even the idea of crossing between different "Planes" of Reality came from FNaF_World-you could cross at certain points and enter a level of a "Glitch" World. Where you're warned not to go deeper than 2 Levels, or you would be lost in the Glitches Forever. Old Man Consequences shows up in UCN and can give you the achievement/ending of the Angel/Family in FNaF_World, and he most likely is the King in Princess Quest 2 AND 3-warning the Princess and giving her the Lantern/Sword. Even Monty in RUIN could be a reference to Snap-Trap (Enemy in FNaF_World 1 and Update 2?) The continued additions of "Minigames" with Real-World problems seems to just keep bringing FNaF_World to fruition. (Happiest Day in FNaF 3 was caused BY the Events in Base/FNaF_World 1.) "Into Madness" is Update 2/Special Delivery & VR: Help Wanted (1). Now, with Security Breach and RUIN, plus HW 2, and the seemingly teaser of "Circus"(?) or a Fredbear's(?)/70's game is making FNaF_World Update 3 likely.
The Brazil ending to me felt like to be the most interesting out of the 3 due to it being a surprise twist of if Cassie did escape but possibly didn’t. Also Helpy being there as well gives info of while at first to trick Cassie on thinking he is safe with Gregory, but also foreshadowing that the next mainline FNAF game will possibly take place at a carnival featuring the circus animatronics.
If you listen closely afyer the mimic defeats roxy you can hear it going through her voice lines so roxy saying cassies name in the elevator ending is probably the mimic
@@dragonempress8367 if we talk on account the books and do a parallel. Angry. He is just a robot programmed to mimic others. It's creator had hurt him and tried destroying it. He is just doing what he was programmed mimic what he sees. He probably saw Afton doing the kills so he mimics him. Differently from Afton that is a human with emotions, mimic is a robot with a programming. He can't say what is wrong or not differently from Afton. On this case I blame the creator for doing irresponsible use of technology without thinking about consequences if it started mimicking wrong things. 🤷🤷
You’ve probably already mentioned it, but a lot of people speculate that the fourth scrapped ending would focus on fixing all the shattered animatronics
To add to the points made to the Grimmic cutting out Gregory in the elevator, the Grimmic dialogue seems to use the phrase 'save me' alot which the Grimmic uses at the end too
One detail about the elevator ending that alot don't notice, that if you look at the elevator metal gate that the Mimic grabs on to as the gate closes down, it's so strong with only one arm/hand left, it's bending the metal on the gate. So what's really stopping it from making the elevator fall down as well, if it's that strong? I am under the opinion that all the endings, no matter what, the Mimic escapes.
I'm still at least partially under the impression that the mimic and the vanny mask conspired to put Cassy into a state of suspended consciousness in the brazil ending because the entire point of luring someone down there to free it had another benefit of hand delivering a human body for the mimic to inhabit as a disguise to leave the pizzaplex undetected. They deliberately referenced a movie where the main idea being portrayed is that the mind can and will recede within itself to escape a physical reality that's too unbearable to be mentally present in, not to mention how many times Cassy has confirmed out loud that the mask hurts her and has moments where it's impossible to remove. I think the mask and the mimic were using her whole journey through the pizzaplex to prime her consciousness to be pushed back and aside to avoid her dying of shock when the right moment came for the mimic to try to somehow occupy Cassy's body like a suit. The mask was delivered to her to make Cassy more likely to accept an augmented reality that everything was okay, despite the panic and pain of what's actually physically about to happen to her.
I agree with that ! It would be quite a plot twist if it turned out the Brazil ending was the canon one. Moreover, I think the Daycare chapter is actually very significant in this game. Sun was "trapped in a nap", existing only in AR. Cassie may be trapped in a nap as well, now that the vanny mask has fully latched onto her. Also the golden tree we can see in the Daycare on the walls is the same that appears in the Brazil ending, and it appears nowhere else in the game. In the future, Cassie may have to directly fight against the Mimic's influence, much like how Sun had to fight Moon's, though he needed help to do it. I think from now on, Fnaf's story will be about duality, opposite forces being at war. There are a lot of clues : Sun and Moon, Dream and Reality, Green and Purple (as they both appear on every Glamrock animatronics, and even Cassie herself), Protection (Green) and Destruction (Purple); maybe even Charlie (the Puppet) and Glitchtrap, all existing simultaneously within the same space, or sometimes within the same body. I also want to point out the parallels between the Princess in Princess Quest (Cassidy) and Cassie herself, apart from their names. Their stories are very similar, and in the end, Cassie/Cassidy is the savior, but she also needs to be saved (from Glitchtrap/the Mimic). Maybe in the future she will save the ruined Animatronic, much like she did with Roxy and Eclipse, with the help of Gregory and Vanessa.
@@melissagarcia1705 Wouldn't be the first time-it's been theorised that Golden Freddy has more than one possessor and the Stitchwraith has had two souls as well with one coming from Fetch's battery box.
An alternate take on the Brazil ending: I think the primary purpose of this ending is to tell us that the Princess Quest ending of Security Breach is NOT the canon ending. The Brazil ending is happy ending that's not actually happening. I think the balloons in the background are a reference to Happiest Day, a happy ending that didn't actually happen. By extension, the other ending referenced, the Princess Quest ending of Security Breach, was a happy ending that didn't actually happen.
And considering Cassie is also short for Cassidy, It really explains It……Cassidy is imagining a happy ending for her and the rest of the children, where she, Charlie, CC, Elizabeth, Micheal and all the Missing Children have had their happy day, where they have found peace, moved on….CC, Micheal and Elizabeth on top of a hill, eating ice cream.
Awesome video! Ever since the mimic said "I'm ... Gregory" I've been terrified at the possibility that we are playing as the mimic in SB and not human flesh boy Gregory. Violently disassembling all the animatronics for seemingly no reason, the fact that Vanny messes with our vision, being able to crawl inside Freddy and control him as if we're wearing him as a suit. I really don't want it to be the case, can you please disprove this theory so I can sleep again??
Is not he seen in the game? The mimic can get into every costume and animetronic, but it would not fit into a kidshape and size. You should. Be able to sleep just fine, he might be a robot kid, but he ain't the mimic in security breach, the mimic just stalked him in that game so it now can use his voicelines
No because that actually makes sense because of the voice line Freddy has when he gets Roxy's eyes " You look different to me now" or whatever the exact line is I don't remember. 😢😅 Sorry to make it worse lol
@@SingingSealRiana You do see Burntrap, but to my knowledge it's still not confirmed by Steel Wool if they're the same character. If I recall correctly, I don't think you actually lay eyes on the mimic in SB. I guess the other thing is the mimic could genuinely think it Is Gregory, so it's convinced itself it's a little boy. So maybe the first person view models of Greg's little hands are just hallucinations or projections of that belief like the in the game Soma (great game btw).
@@42_violets not the mimic, unless he is burntrap but that's another can of worms, .... but we see Gregory, Gregory is childsized, and shaped and the mimic is to big to assume that form! It can't mimic what it had not seen, that's why it mostly uses lines it heared Gregory speak so it would get the impression right! Even if the mimic thought it where genuinly gregory, that would not allow it to be as small as the kid, hide in Freddy chest, his hight..... We see just how much taller the mimic is as cassy and cassy and gregory have about the same perspective meaning they should be close in hight. Also, the mimic acts very differently when cassy meets it, then gregory did in sb
@@SingingSealRiana a can of worms indeed lol. My counter to that is that the mimic is crouched down pretty low when we first see it, about the same height as Cassy. so there's a chance that it's just... like crawling(?) through SB, maybe? Its size is definitely a hole in the theory, I'm just (sadly) not totally convinced it's impossible. Though I guess "can wear any suit" is significantly different than "can hide inside a glamrock suit alonside the original endo". for it looking like a kid, we only see Gregory in SB in the cameras, it could just be again hallucinating. I don't want to say illusion disks, I hate illusion disks, it can't be illusion disks lol. I won't believe it could be illusion disks.
Wonderful theory :D I might sound crazy for thinking this, but maybe Steel Wool chose the movie Brazil because it was released in 1985? The same year the MCI took place in the games
Y'know I like the Brazil ending to be cannon. It is honestly the most interesting ending if it was. And like you said, it would lead beautifully if the next game was about a circus or circus themed place. And i absolutely love the last frame of the video. There's not a thought in that kitty's mind.
Pilgrim’s Progress was a game by Scott Cawthon released in 2011, before FNAF. The title character looks a lot like Balloon Boy and fits the “Carnival” theme as well as the Freddy and Friend’s cartoon teasers for SB. Could it be the Ballon Boy mini game and the Princess Quest mini game both were signs of things to come? Additionally, I also draw a parallel between the Foxy.exe minigame in FNAF World to the Ruin ending as well as the SL ending: “Listen to the sound of my voice; and you will descend into the heart of madness.”
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that, for the Brazil ending, Cassie would've had to have seen Vanessa at some point, or something similar. As far as we know, Cassie and Vanessa have never been in the same room.
The idea of a FNaF game set in a Carnival/Theme park had always been something I've wanted to see. Whether this will be used to showcase further Mimic hijinks or be used explain the origins of Fazbear Entertainment is honestly really exciting.
@@higueraft571 While technically yes, Fazbear's Fright was a theme park attraction, I'm talking about a game actually exploring said theme park and not just the spoopy house.
John\Fuhnaff came out with a new theory rwgarding this and what we might see in Help Wanted 2. We may even get a new DLC with this theme. I want to see it too, my friend.
@@emmajk7433 His theory is interesting, but I don't quite agree with his overall conclusion. That being said, a FNaF with a circus/carnival setting feels inevitable.
Going to say this now, if the fourth ending wasn't some sort of placeholder... my guess is that it may be added if/when more DLC or a new game comes out
ive heard plenty of people say that a last variable saying "none" in a row of variable is just good coding practise, meaning it doesnt indicate anything at all not entirely sure if that is the case, but i can def believe it meaning nothing at all
Just saying, in a cut version of the Neutral Ending, after the feedback noise Gregory would say to Cassie “make sure you aren’t followed.” Implying Gregory would save Cassie after the feedback sound originally. So it seems it’s still Gregory after the feedback noise.
4:49 Im glad someone finally said something about this because I said the same thing. Putting the answer to your ending in the files (that's apparently easily accessed) spoils everything
I definitely believe that all the previous locations are connected through the underground cave system! With Help Wanted 2 on the way, Sister Location being the main focus, you best know Steelwool AND Scott are cooking up some lore. Ruin leading right into Help Wanted 2 would be insane, especially how Scott likes to make a new game to explain what we missed in the others. Sister Location we’ve missed SO MUCH and Scott is leading us back there! Great video! I always wondered how much cat hair you have on you after recording😂
Just had a shock of inspiration from this video, but Help Wanted 2 definitely seems like it could be a direct prequel to Security Breach, where you play as GGY completing various tasks and mini games like in the original help wanted, but at the sister location and pizza sim locations. Could have the old games too, not sure, but the point being it tells how Gregory breaks free of the Mimic’s control, leading to security breach. Similar to how the secret true endings of Help Wanted had you collecting pieces to free glitchtrap aka mimic, this one will have you completing secret tasks that will free GGY
The underground area in ruin reminds me of the underground restaurant in “Fnaf the twisted ones.” The glowing blue mushrooms and the water falls. Maybe that’s something. I love the fnaf novels.
didn't people find in the files that the old fredbear cutout is named "70sBear" or something? What if this "Carnival" game is a prequel to hopefully fill in some of the earlier timeline while establishing a possible entry point for the mimic? I wouldn't necessarily want something that adds a new decade into the timeline, but it'd be neat if they are planning it
Something I’d like to point out is that when Gregory talks about the Mimic being stuck down in the area Cassidy was in he says “Here” instead of “There”. It’s a bit strange for someone that isn’t there at all. Just something to think about.
Not really. It sounds strange if he said "there", as (to Cassie's PoV), it may indicate specifically that room, rather than her "here", the general Below Regions.
@@themoribundapathetic4530 even then. if you watch someone on cameras and would want to warn them you would say "there's someone around you" not "there's someone here"
I agree about the various pizzaria's being built on the same lot, and the sister location being connected underground. I think the only thing it tells us is why everything is coming together like it is, though. Edit: Well, my current theory is that some of the earlier games are now considered allegory, similar to Candy Cadet's stories, and that the Mimic 1.0 was the actual killer of the 2nd set of missing children. In which case them explicitly showing the connection of all the locations explains why it's still sealed away and accessible from the pizzaplex. I just have to figure out if there is any real explanation for Burntrap that comes out of all of that. Puts a real fly in the ointment if I can't explain that incarnation. Other than that I feel like the rest of the timeline is actually significantly cleaned up from my theory.
The thing Im confused about is the Mimic doesnt seem to have a higher mentality than just rip people apart. Its so animalistic and I doubt that it has the cognitive function to think "I shall trap this poor girl in virtual reality and make her a little puppet for my bidding". Like what is the point of that? It's "free", it can take the body of Cassie to do murderous things, but what would the point of making her a puppet after freeing it be? I have only heard summaries of the books so maybe Im missing something, but everytime I hear a Mimic story is that It's trying to free itself in the only way it knows: manipulation and animalistic nature.
possibly a Pinocchio-like desire to become a real person, it truly thinks it is human and wishes to visually appear as such. Also, Cassie has the Vanny Mask, which only a human body can use seemingly, and with that, the mimic could easily find its way out of the deep maze-like pizzaplex and even hack the network (now that M.X.E.S. is disabled) and take over the entire pizzaplex virtually/electronically.
Well, as far as I'm aware, its only motive is to escape. Now that it has (the concrete is gone, MXES is shut down), what's the point of posessing someone's mind and continuing things as if it hasnt gotten its way? It seems we now need a conclusion to the Mimic story in the next handful of games or books. The majority of the Mimic's story is told, it was created, it murdered, it's locked up, and now it's escaped. Now the conclusion is to destroy it.
I belive that this brazil ending has a lot to do with help wanted. Think about it, in both games, when divergeing from the expected route(not following gregory instruciton and following glitchtrap) you are presented to a foreshadowing to the next game(if the "carnaval" was foreshawdowed in the final game). It's just something that can't be ignored
Think there’s some good theories going around about what happened in Ruin. My two cents are. Either the mimic cut the elevator or Gregory is under the influence of Glitchtrap (still not 100% sure if the mimic and Glitchtrap are exactly the same entity) regardless I find it unlikely a “normal” Gregory would sacrifice his friend. Another thing I wanted to point out is the mimic’s mascot costume. I think those characters that make up pieces of the suit are part of the original cast of characters that predated William and Henry working together to make Fredbear’s Family Dinner. If the Mimic is Glitchtrap then I guess it make’s sense that it would want everything to do with William Afton including relics (the costumes) from the past. But that’s just how I’m seeing it at the moment.
What I don’t understand is why the Mimic wears all three costumes stitched together, when there are models for all three suits, in tact, in that room. I feel like it means something lore wise but I’m not sure what.
@@strawberryxsangria That is a good question. I think the reason here’s other models still together, it could be that they are backup costumes just in case one gets damaged. Kinda like how in the parts and service rooms in previous games have multiple heads and other parts of the animatronics.
HW 2 is a virtual version of Cassie/Cassie's dad leaving the underground area by going through all the locations connected to eachother and the twist ending is the events that were experienced are happening in the real world but obscured by the mask or something else.
I don't think Roxy calling out for Cassie necessarily means she's alive. She could very well see Cassie's body and call out to her and the audio could cut before she figures out if Cassie is alive or dead.
The thing is, Cassie falls down as the elevator falls. When it hits the floor, she's lying down, she very easily could've survived due to her positioning. If she'd been standing, I'd be more worried. But Steel Wool may not know that XD
I think it's just Gregory in the ending. The primary evidence I have seen used to suggest it's the Mimic, the static sound effect and Greg saying 'I know you did it for me' were both in the unused ending where Greg spares Cassie. To me that is just a sign that Steel Wool did not put either of those things in the ending to imply that the Mimic hijacked the elevator. And in terms of method I think he just hacked into the elevator and had it drop. This very DLC references Greg being a hacker with the easter egg of a robot he hacked into trying to reach out to Cassie.
Yeahhh, there’s one problem with that, that’s a service elevator, one with no computerized components at all. Gregory is a good hacker, but if he doesn’t know where Cassie is, and isn’t physically there, he can’t hack an analog elevator, you’d have to be there to cut the power, AND the emergency cord. Also, the overlap in subtitles between Gregory and… the other one, suggests that someone was interfering with the comms. It should be noted that the mimic is perfectly able to hijack radio signals, which might mean we never heard Gregory at all.
@@jacksonvoet8312 He knows where Cassie is, he led her to this exact location. And I think everything was connected to a system with the plex. I do not think the subtitle thing means anything. He says the 'I know you did it for me' line in the spare ending in the files as well.
@@erickamakeeaina1649 Eh, let’s not argue, the next one’s coming out soon, we’ll see who’s right then, I hope it’s me, but I’ll admit I was wrong if you’re proven right.
I'm still skeptical about the whole Gregory/Mimic communication switch at the very end, but I will say you've nudged me closer to your way of thinking, RT. Appreciate the work, friend. Love your theories, even if I don't 100% agree every time. Keep it up!
Gregory is also a mimic. Even in the base game. Also, the wall code in "Michael's room" details how to release the original mimic or at the very least unearth where it is buried. Also, also, old man consequences mini game depicts Cassies fall in the elevator
Ruin has the same feel as the older games. Lore wise at least. Subtle things u may not see and if u do it hints towards lore and minigames (books in this case) that also show lore and a story in a vague way. Its a breath of fresh air. And all this theorising is nostalgic and remjnds me of theorising like when the fnaf 3 trailer came out and stuff like that.
My interpretation of the Brazil ending was Helpi (Not controlled by Mimic as his eyes are blue [Side note, seeing Helpi replace Freddy makes me think it's a branch off of the Freddy AI one that saw the drawings of Gregory before being loaded into the mask]) trapping Cassie's mind in a fantasy world to spare her from the pain of death, but your interpretation could also work nicely. As for Roxy asking about Cassie, she's still blind, she stumbles into something soft and child shaped she can't really confirm if it's a costume or something else without asking.
I dunno, all elevator theories have to include that the Mimic’s hand is cut off *before* Gregory says that they can’t risk being followed. When we know the Mimic can recreate itself from just that one part. Which does vibe better with Gregory trying to save Cassie and only when he can see from the cameras the hand get cut off, he suddenly can’t save her anymore.
4:47 while interesting theory that Mimic takes back communications, I always had 3 problems with it. Why would Mimic crash the elevator? How would Mimic crash the elevator (Gregory could have access to the elevator shaft itself)? (Okay, a little later he explains how the mimic could do it, but I think Gregory still could do it).:And most importantly, why the f. would Mimic mimic Gregory's voice? It's trying to kill us. Unless it's some sort of 5d chess where the Mimic crashes the elevator, but in a way where Cassie is alive and talks fo Cassie so now Cassie hates Gregory for crashing her down there. But I don't think the mimic is that smart, since it only knows how to mimic.
Gregory is good at hacking, but that elevator is an old-timey service elevator, no computers at all within it. Gregory can’t hack an elevator if it’s just electricity and wires, but the mimic is very strong, so it could just cut a vital cord.
>Why would Mimic crash the elevator? Cassie's about to become A Problem. You saw how it reacted to the idea of "calling the cops" >How Most likely, because it has access to the Pizzaplex's Network, thanks to you, and considering the intro shaft, it's likely not TOO much effort to crash it... >Why mimic Greggory It's probably INTENDING us to die, but what if we DID survive? You dont want Cassie going back to her aid, to guide her out safely, you want her to be Alone. >But I don't think the mimic is that smart, since it only knows how to mimic. It's actually PRETTY god damn smart, if it were Glitchtrap as well. How would it learn to possess people like that? Not to mention, it was able to figure out Cassie's connection to Greggory, prevent Greggory from warning her, and to lure her there. It has Greggory's voice, and the Walkie Talkie used to lure it into that room, and that's about it. Think of it more like a Kenku, it can mimic INCREDIBLY well, and it requires some info TO mimic, but they can creatively utilize said mimicry in a way to create their own "original" stuff.
@@jacksonvoet8312 >no computers at all within it. The camera and speaker are definitely hooked into computers/the network, possibly the buttons as well.
@@jacksonvoet8312 that would be part of my point. I don't remember what Gregory exactly said, but it was something like "I wasn't at the pizzaplex" which to me could mean that now he is there. But more importantly why would someone who could go to the pizzaplex to cut the cable be less likely to cut it than the robot who was stuck at the bottom of the elevator shaft. And if it's an old timey elevator then even less likely that the mimic could have somehow cut the holding cable of an elevator that's going upwards from it.
Some people are theorizing that Roxy saying Cassie’s name is actually The Mimic, Which I really hope isn’t the case, I really hope she’s not dead, I really want her and Roxy to return in the future.
Honestly, i kinda DO (And dont, but less so) hope that Cassie's dead... Because that introduces something INFINITELY more *spicy* to the series, not to mention hitting like 2-3 separate parallels in the games/books at once.
Maybe the bunker is bigger than we thought, that would explain why the layout is completely different. Perhaps the elevator went deeper down than we thought (even though the elevator looks completely different but whatever)
I'm hoping the Scooper ending is canon and Ruin's story ties into Help Wanted 2(since we saw the Sister Location elevator in the teaser). But that's asking a lot and I believe "Help Wanted style" gameplay wouldn't be able to tell the story effectively
@@RyeToastTLDR Markiplier started a chain of videos where each new video is a commentary over the previous one, pretending to do and discuss stuff together. Dawko -> Markiplier -> Matpat -> FuhNaff -> Id's Fantasy -> ...
One possibility of why certain characters or objects look different is because of Help Wanted. Help Wanted talks about the indie developer covering up what really happened-this means SW has free reign to retcon designs of whatever they want. Also, I found out something fascinating about tigers recently. Did you know tigers can MIMIC the sounds of prey to lure them in? Perhaps that’s why they chose Tiger Rock as one of the forms of the Mimic in the books.
AR has a hard cut at the concrete door. Mimic didn't have any access to reprogram Helpi actively during the events of Ruin if a mimic trapped for a 'long time' even would have the skill to. Which means there must be an outside actor free in the Pizzaplex. The only reasonable option, imo, is Glitchtrap, who was trained on Vanessa and Gregory to learn hacking skills. My theory is Glitchtrap wants access to the Mimic 1.0 endo to have a physical body. the Mimic demonstrates that it needs to train on mimicing a voice during the end fight with Roxxy, and so far has mostly just shown straight copying of existing voicelines. Helpi shows early on that it can create brand new voicelines of Cassi. Which also calls into question if it was the Mimic who cut the elevator, or if it being released into the AR section let Glitchtrap infect it like the other animatronics. Also, I think THAT is why they 'disguised' the voicelines for the elevator cutting in the files. Although technically grimic could be Glitch-mimic rather than gregory-mimic. Edit: I also think there is a third version of the Mimic program active. We have Mimic 1.0 in the basement (who I am now thinking was responsible for the 2nd set of missing children rather than an actual physical Afton, 'trained' as an AI by accident watching Afton be a psycho, and was sealed away), Glitchtrap mind-virus via Sister Location to trained in VR from a copy of Mimic 1.0, and the so far not really revealed game version of the Tiger Rock Mimic, reprogrammed from the same or similar copy...having existed in the giant Freddie head and the white and black wires and now...part of The Tangle and in somewhat opposition to the Mimic 1.0 and Glitchtrap because it was hardcoded to keep the pizzaplex connected (gathering up the broken animatronics and bodies) and running.
It's not actually Helpi.. technically. He is mimicking Helpi as there are two different sprites for him, one that is normal with blue eyes and one that has yellow eyes and veins on his head. I think that the mask itself had the mimics AI in it and now since it's basically in Cassie's brain she needs to destroy the mimic or it won't stop following them. This also explains why the mimic knows where Cassie is when she's progressing through the story. Also keep in mind the mimic knows how to disable the security nodes so never assume it can't do more advanced things
@@FunkeMunke_ That's true, there are the destroyed nodes in the basement, and an assumption that the concrete was poured relatively recently compared to the MXES system itself. On the other hand there's no direct proof the Mimic endo is what destroyed those nodes (or if they're just extras/unconfigured nodes stored with the MXES), AND if the Mimic program is in the Vanni mask (assumption on it being the original Vanni mask and not "A" VANNI mask as it tries to imply with the intro about 'all technicians are required to wear their mask') by default I'd assume that version of the mimic program would be, well, Glitchtrap. Cause Vanni. I should have mentioned the orange eyes, though, you're right. You'd think if it was Glitchtrap doing the re-programming/infecting of Helpi they'd be purple like the infected animatronics AR glow.
Yoooooooo!! You blew my mind with the brazil ending explanation. My brain thought it was SO out of place for the daycare music to play, but that alluding to the daycare area being gregory's and the balloon boy game being what corrupt him -- wow! I'm sold on this.
I think that the sister location room in the base game of security breach is similar to the scooper room. It is a sort of remodelled or replica of the original rooms.
Man, Fazbear Entertainment really can't get zoning for a new location. I think the fact that they keep building on the same location is absolutely hilarious. Like, all other locations get shut down except for that one spot.
Considering that this is a first person game, I think we should consider the time dilation someone going through a traumatic event might have. Even if the elevator only fell for a short time, Cassie would've experienced it as taking much longer.
My argument that it was Gregory who dropped Cassie is Gregory says he’s not in the pizza plex but slips up and says “down here” in his for sure dialogue. Down here is technically not the pizza plex and he would be able to cut the elevator too. We know his backpack is in the room right before the mimic right next to a tunnel, so he could’ve been down there the entire time. Plus if he’s meant to be patient 46 a Roxy and Cassie avenge story arc would be a lot more satisfying.
@RyeToast My personal belief is that the difference between the Scoopers is that the SL Scooper is purely William's design. He ONLY needed it for retrieval of Remnant/Endoskeletons. The Scooper in RUIN is a FazBear design. They would've eventually found the SL Bunker given the proximity between all these places. Who's to say they didn't find a way to utilize his research to build or upgrade the Scooper and use Remnant from HIS robots to improve THEIR robots?... *(Note: FazBear in the books used the Mimic to train a new Generation of Animatronics and other machines. What if FazBear in the games used the Scooper in lieu of not finding the Mimic?...)*
>They would've eventually found the SL Bunker given the proximity between all these places. They definitely did, if they had ANY records of old FazEnt (Which, considering AR and HW, they do) and Henry didnt destroy it first. As for utilizing his research? I honestly doubt that, they dont seem *aware* of the Supernatural Stuff going on, as a whole...
ngl the brazil ending would make sense seeing as the vanny mask could be taking control of cassie as we see cassie couldnt take off the mask during some points in the game,maybe cassie becomes brainwashed and we have to go through a carnival theme pizzeria in the new game
Roxy's line at the end of the elevator credits doesn't confirm her survival. It's likely that the mimic copies Roxy during the fight, which can kind of be heard if you turn voice volume off when Gregory is trying to talk to you. Although I'm not sure exactly what the noises are.
I’m really excited to see where Help Wanted 2 goes with the story, and if we’re lucky, we’ll see Roxy again, and maybe Chica will play a big role? Monty is probably dead, because he was electrocuted in water, so he’s probably gone.
For the scooper everything we see at the end of Ruin seems to be built by Henry. It's connected to the Pizza place very closely and has a similar design, he has the blueprints for the SL scooper, understands Remnent, and was missing after his daughter's death to Fnaf 6 which was 40 years, so what was he doing in all that time? Who knows what he could have been doing with all that knowledge and time, maybe he built the Mimic thus making the parallel even deeper to the books and would also help explain why the Mimic is trapped there, why those random suits are there and maybe they are the ones maybe mentioned in Fnaf 3. For the Brazil ending I feel more like it's implying that the Cassie is choosing to believe the fantasy instead of what's about to happen which is the Mimic killing her so it's an escape from reality one last time, though your idea could also work.
Do note: The "New Scooper Room" has the post-6 logo on it. It's also in a location that's more specifically the Help Wanted Vent Repair region, just past the Breaker Room in SL. As for "understands Remnant", more he read William's notes and rolled with those assumptions (which burned him in the end, pun intended) :V >and was missing after his daughter's death to Fnaf 6 which was 40 years, so what was he doing in all that time? One theory was: In Prison since 1985, before CBPW let alone CBEAR had opened or Elizabeth had died.
@@higueraft571 Fazbear entertainment was definitely down there as we already knew that so them having equipment within the scooper room means nothing just that they were there, or SteelWool messed up and Fazbear was never in that room. Unless that is William's soul still kicking around Henry understood remnent well enough to burn everything so he succeeded. If he was in prison he definitely would not have been the CEO still able to close down the business, If he went to prison especially for the disappearances he would not even be able to open the Pizza place let alone shut down the whole company.
@@Gaterman >Unless that is William's soul still kicking around Henry understood remnent well enough to burn everything so he succeeded. Yeeah, William's still kicking, and most likely the MCI kids too, and Cassidy. Keep in mind: Henry's plan is ENTIRELY centered around what seems to be an idle hypothesis that was NEVER tested, the "Double-maybe" hinting towards it's dubiousness. Additionally, Controlled Shocks are "High Heat" as well, hence how it'd stun them so effectively in SL and 6. Not to mention, William *survived* the FNAF 3 fire. He was knocked out, as we were told the effect would be in the blueprint, but the high heat didnt destroy him. Also, while i dont remember the exact details of it, i believe someone DID note that Henry would've been hit with about a 25~ year sentence for the MCI. If he were locked up in 1985 or 1986, that'd put his release date at 2010~ at the earliest. Do note, they NEVER found the bodies to confirm a murder happened, but there'd still be charges either way, as mentioned.
@@higueraft571 Other than burntrap who resembles William we don't know if that's actually him or just a copy of his consciousness which is different or a Mimic. Whatever the Blob is it isn't the souls as it attacks a child, the one thing they would never do so the Blob is likely AI or agony. William's soul is in ultimate custom night so he did burn sufficiently to die but Cassidy wouldn't allow him to fully leave but his remnent is burnt away. In Fnaf 3 it's likely William simply escaped the burning building that's why the place need to be specifically designed in 6 to have no chance of escape. Henry's knowledge comes from William and he would have tested out remnents weakness of fire so he got it from the source that fire destroys remnent. If Henry was convicted of any crime like that the board of directors or anyone else would have kicked him out/replaced him in the intermediate time, you can't hold on position like the CEO and remain within prison as you need to hand it over. So Henry was never convicted of any crime.
@@Gaterman >Whatever the Blob is it isn't the souls as it attacks a child, the one thing they would never do so the Blob is likely AI or agony. If you were: Stuffed into suits at a Pizzeria, left to rot (both the child corpses and suits) as your souls possessed them, shipped to a new location where bits of you were ripped out for new animatronics, modified heavily after *6* more years (8 now, total), abandoned again, torn apart, merged together, then torn into a messy soup of bits of yourself and others, dumped in some bunker for *god* knows how long, potentially up to nearly 25-30 years, merging BACK together into a freaky monster (we're now approaching 38~ years since MCI), that then finally gets burned and sealed up *again* underground for... depending on the exact date of SB, about another 6-12 years (44-50 years now)... You'd probably be a LITTLE fucked at that point, regardless of how you'd feel initially. Also do note: Books definitely hint that the dead *do* forget over time. The MCI kids by 1995 had forgotten their names, and believed themselves to *be* the characters they possessed. *And* that their Killer was their friend. A bunch of kids being blended up and turned into a freaky cable monster are probably gonna be pretty feral, by then. More running off Instinct than much logic. If Freddy *were* referring to them... that'd imply most of their emotions are Anger and *Confusion.* >William's soul is in ultimate custom night so he did burn sufficiently to die but Cassidy wouldn't allow him to fully leave but his remnent is burnt away. Except he *cant* die for UCN to occur. Not to mention, one unspoken rule i've noticed... FNAF never has anything take place in the "Afterlife", and pretty rarely even *touches* on that as a topic, in the "Moving on" department. The ONLY instance i believe that it's outright stated, was in the Stitchwraith Epilogues, once. With one potentially happening in Happiest Day, too. Additonally, i dont think you really *KNOW* what Remnant is? More or less, it's what makes up the Soul, what Animates you. The Soul, or "Whole Remnant", is made up of Light Remnant and Dark Remnant. Light Remnant is made up of Components, we dont know of any that are confirmed to exist, aside from Love, the strongest of the Lights. Dark Remnant is ALSO made up of Components, the only one confirmed to exist for this side, of course, is Agony. The strongest of the Darks and overall. Agony, in particular, functions as the Foundation, a sort of Glue, AND a Conduit all in one. It's the basis that animates something. But that something isnt truly "alive" until there's something *else* in there. As for Conduit? It most likely serves as a means to transfer other Components safely, despite their normal sensitivity/lack of persistence. We *DO* know a few aspects of Love/Light Remnant as well... In particular, it's *incredibly* effective at Illusions and Regeneration. Like, say... Michael at the end of SL. >In Fnaf 3 it's likely William simply escaped the burning building that's why the place need to be specifically designed in 6 to have no chance of escape. Sister Location contradicts this COMPLETELY. He is lying down in the rubble of Fazbear Frights, inside the location. He was ALSO lying down (presumably in the location too) in the FNAF 3 ending newspaper as well. He wasnt hiding under anything either. >Henry's knowledge comes from William and he would have tested out remnents weakness of fire so he got it from the source that fire destroys remnent. You *are* correct that his knowledge comes from William. However, where would he have gotten that Remnant? Do you think he *really* tested it, personally? "The Source", again, fires off that hypothesis with a double-maybe. Something that reads "If Heat stuns it, does more heat destroy it?" William wouldnt have wasted his *incredibly* valuable (And limited) supply on an experiment that'd destroy it, that easily... He'd likely wait til he had enough he could afford to destroy some. There's also a few aspects of Henry's Plan, aside from the core of it, which are fucking stupid too :V
Roxy saying "Cassie?" may not exactly mean Cassie is alive. She could be in a messed up state and Roxy is questioning what she has come across (or seen, assuming she can see at the point). Then again idk if the devs are ballsy enough to go that dark >w>
I don't think the scooping room is the exact same as Sister Location, but I do believe it means something. Help Wanted 2 is gonna focus on Sister Location, and in the teaser you can find the same type of puzzle we do with the faz-wrench, now in the Sister Location elevator. So I believe Help Wanted 2 is gonna foreshadow "Security Breach 2" or "Carnival", whatever this new game is. After playing through all Help Wanted 2 levels, we will go back to Cassie, as she and Roxy are walking across the abandoned Sister Location, being chased by the Mimic. Cut to credits. Yeah, I believe in the next game, Cassie and Roxy are gonna explore the remains of Sister Location, while trying to find an exist to the surface and escape from the Mimic. Think of the LORE we could get. Imagine how much exposition Roxy could give Cassie, about Glitchtrap and Vanessa. Imagine if Roxy and Cassie end up finding the Fnaf 4 gameplay room. But I don't think this is all the game will be about. I think there will be a parallel story, where Gregory and Vanessa try to rescue Cassie. If the Mimic was the one who dropped the elevator, then Gregory would be worried, he would be worried because he lost communication with Cassie so abruptly, so I can see him and Vanessa teaming up to rescue her, and maybe defeat the Mimic once and for all. Also Freddy's head will probably with them. So imagine these two parallel stories, Roxy and Cassie underground, Gregory , Vanessa and Freddy in the surface, going further and further down to find Cassie. Then in the end both parties meet, lots of exposition and lore reveals, and finally a Boss Battle against the Mimic. Something that would be crazy would be if the Mimic stole the Illusion Disks from the NIGHTMARES (assuming the Nightmares are real theory is correct). Like imagine if the Mimic finds the fnaf 4 gameplay room, finds the nightmares deactivated, takes their illusion disks and that allows him to become this super grotesque monster like the Twisted Ones. I'm just rambling at this point but that would be so cool. It could also be that instead of a sequel will get a PREQUEL after Help Wanted 2, a prequel about a Carnival taking place in the 70s-80s. Then maybe after that we jump back to the present to Cassie, Gregory and Vanessa.
Thank you for pointing out the battery next to the elevator. I've tried to prove it was the Mimic who dropped the evaluator but nobody over on the FNAF subreddit will take me seriously.
I think the Gregory in the raceway is real Greg. If it was just the mimic then it’s telling two stories at once. That it’s locked in the basement and also in the other room hiding from Roxy. But during that little Wally talky bit Greg goes from “Cassie I’m ok I found a spot to hide” followed by the Walky talky cuts normally “Turn off nodes in the salon to follow Roxy” radio static but no cut, similar to the elevator “Hurry! She’s close” in a much more panicked voice. So it’s either mimic is really bad at lying and slipped and Cassie doesn’t realize it says that it is both in the other room hiding from Roxy and also is locked in the basement at the same time. Or Gregory is at the pizzaplex at that point and then after the Roxy encounter goes to get his friend with building plans to help in the final dash. Only thing I know for certain is steel wool really kills it with the art of the characters, the cut outs and the Brazil ending all look super nice
The endings of ruin just don't really guve us answer for sb but gave us more questions than anything Edit: The tumbhnail is the cherry on the top (I'm talking about the Brazil part
yeah its actually quite annoying. give us some answers for once rather than making the story even more ridiculously convoluted. people are getting burnt out from it.
up until now i was adamant that the scooper ending was the canon/correct ending. Mimic slipped out either like one would a jacket when you're grabbed or it does like the books says it can and shapeshift and slip it's way out. It escaped and we find out more in HW2 since it is in the Sister Location. But after what you said about the brazil ending, I think it could possibly be canon. That or it's foreshadowing things to come for us to figure out like a lot of what you speculated. I actually am beginning to think more as I have typed this that whichever one is canon, the other two are still giving us information of what's next. Which honestly sounds about right for Scott and Steel Wool.
The only other thing I know about the Brazil movie is that Phil Vischer, the co-creator of VeggieTales, was inspired by Terry Gilliam's movies. Terry Gilliam directed Brazil, by the way.
Hey Rye! Something I wanted to point out is that during the fight with Mimic and Roxy (when Gregory is talking to you), you can hear the Mimic start mimicking Roxy and, presumably, kill her. I think that when Roxy says “Cassie?” It’s not our best girl, it’s actually the Mimic. You can hear the audio when you disable Gregory and Cassie speaking. Just something to point out
Woah, dude, I have an explanation for why Roxy was restored! Okay, so Freddy malfunctioned and was put in Safe Mode, disconnected from the mainframe and network. He was also the only bot who wasn’t corrupted to some degree as a result. It’s because he was disconnected from the network. So fast forward to Roxanne… She’s still suffering from the Glitchtrap Virus when we meet her, but she sort of rebooted when she encountered Cassie, being snapped out of it, but not entirely. When we meet her a second time, she’s behaving according to the Network directive. Putting on a brave face, welcoming back a guest she fondly remembers and reinforcing that special connection she and Cassie share. When she was shut down, she was severed from the network, so when she rebooted, it too was in Safe Mode and she had no directives imposed on her save for her own recognizance: Cassie is in danger and must be saved. Then, summoning strength and will (she IS the best after all) she got out from under the forklift and dove into that hellhole to save her Cassie.
During your recap of the elevator (neutral) ending, i noticed something i didn't before. Ever catch that you see claws continually go to grab Cassie at the end? It doesn't look like metal from inside the elevator cage, but claws. I swear I saw it at around like 6:27. You see it at the floor first and then it keeps trying to grab her til the ending of the fall. At least that's what I'm seeing.
Fun fact, surviving an elevator crash is actually extremely likely. Even in the case of full catastrophic failure, people have been known to walk away from significantly longer elevator freefalls than this one. I don't think that plays into the story at all, just something I keep thinking about. 😂
Interesting. Hey as long as it downplays robot children lmao
Robot children are also well known elevator crash survivors!
You’re right about that from Cassie to freaking Henry from Batim
-you might be
onto something here 🤔
(Question is how is she gonna escape the ruined pizzaplex, cause I mean I think there’s a second exit plus the one mimic tried digging it’s way out of or whatever made that hole in the tunnel underneath the fnaf 6 ruined pizzeria)
@@bizmak3116 It's implied that it was the Blob
@@RyeToast While theoretically possible, it would be quite unlikely. If it was in free fall, the impact velocity would have been in the ballpark of 110mph. Then again the math also implies its around 200m deep which raises its own questions. Adults laying on their back can have a decent chance of surviving elevator falls, but a child standing is much more vulnerable. Also surviving doesn't mean you're remotely capable afterwards, you might have numerous broken bones, a concussion, and other injuries. Also idk what the knock on effects would be of that impact given the general state of decay of the area.
I think the reason Roxy survives being "shut down" is because we actually rebooted her.
We do the same thing to Eclipse, where we stick the Faz-Wrench in a port on their head, they deactivate temporarily, then come back on.
Oh…
That makes sense and I didn’t think about that. It very much seemed like we shut down Roxy for good in that scene so that’s why I was confused how she got back up to fight the mimic.
I have always thought the same thing,although it is slightly different. (Arguing against myself rn) When we reboot Eclipse,there is no node. With Roxy there is a node. So slightly different but i truly believe it was just a reboot. But i can see how one could make an argument it isnt the same
Yeah, I thought that was the obvious conclusion, but it seems like it wasn't since a lot of people are confused about it
I've thought this since the start. Honestly baffles me how a lot more people haven't drawn this conclusion either. I chalked her taking so long to awaken from the reboot to damage, because Eclipse is significantly less damaged than anyone else on the roster.
I like this. It makes sense. You're smart, you.
Ok so i keep seeing this, the thing with Roxy, we dont deactivate her as the mimic says, instead its better if we take the word of a more turstworth source, Sun. And because we do the exact same thing to him that we do to Roxy that we do to Eclipse, we reboot her, not shut her down.
OOOHHHHH. I could totally see that
I mean she’s also blind so it still doesn’t make much sense for how she somehow stumbled her way into the pizza place
@@qualitytimewithted5160 Roxy may be blind but back in SB tracked Gregory by sound, that's why it could felt the weight of Mimic and told Cassie to run in her direction and if you wonder how did it stumble without any real issues it's because the Pizzaplex has no real blocked paths, it's just the AI making the layers and giving some sense (most likely to stop Cassie as she was seen as an intruder) that being said, i still don't know how Cassie managed to go from one site to another like she went through portals.
@@24Ippo The vanni network seems to function as a sort of parallel world, where digital things are dominant and the normal world is the less real one.
This could explain how the portals are able to move you, as while Cassie is physical, she becomes more entangled with the code while wearing the mask, and so by moving the code she is entangled with she is effectively teleported.
And perhaps Roxy is able to navigate the pizzaplex because of the green digital eyes, seeing the digital version of the pizzaplex allowing her to walk without slamming into a wall.
@@Mariwend huh if what you're saying its true and i think you are, this could mean that warp tunnels are gonna be a thing in the future of the series
Fun fact! Apparently (according to a video I saw), if you have turned voices off for the section where you listen to the real Gregory talk for the first time, you can hear what the mimic is doing. Specifically, defeating Roxy and stealing her voice. It may be the Mimic we hear at the end of the neutral ending. Makes me think what else lies behind the voices.
Ok I hope they see this and theorise further🙏🙏🙏
@@georgelongcoal1117 Agreed. It also proves Gregory (or someone apart from the mimic) was in fact talking to us during the chase and giving us directions. And then I think the mimic took over while we were in the elevator and uncoupled the battery powering the elevator. And while I hope it's Roxy talking to us, we must still admit that there exists a severe possibility that it's the mimic.
have been thinking that it was the mimic since the dlc released, like bruh, the mimic WON against roxy AND is known to MIMIC others, why would it be roxy?
@@maurobrunno6032 Hope. We hope Cassy isn't dead. We hope Roxy isn't dead. We hope the ending has some hope in it, for it may be the canon ending.
What video??
I think Roxy survived because ‘deactivating’ her could be like how you ‘decommission’ animatronics in the main game just for them to be back up in less than five minutes.
True
Could've also been a reboot like we did with eclipse
@leawilson5630 does that mean Monty could still be alive?
I don't think surviving the elevator is that unlikely tbh
She was already in an area underneath the normal sublevels, how much deeper can it really go? It was probably just falling back down to a bit below where she enters the elevator, which would explain how Roxy got to her
That's fair. It just looks rough
Or maybe Roxy is finding Cassie's dead body after either the elevator crash or the Mimic finishing her off before escaping.
If we believe she survives the crash, that could be the intention of the mimic, as how RyeToast explains the Brazil ending, the mimic is looking to gain a new puppet to control, since it lost GGY and Vanny. So he wasn’t ever trying to kill Cassie, but get to her and turn her. That’s the result of the Brazil ending, and could be his intention of returning Cassie to him by dropping the elevator.
Or they could just pull a BATIM and add another like 10 levels to the Pizzaplex like they did with the Studio
@@MariTheNonLol yep
Just a small theory I feel like Gregory saying I’ve found a place to hide is just a lot more sinister way of showing the mimic inhabiting cassies body
OH NO
this thought had me hyper ventilating
so like enarrd style
:O
Probably, it's a repeated line from earlier in the game, so we know it's not good in Brazil lol
One thing I noticed that doesn't get mentioned (and is probably nothing) is that eye color is used a lot to denote which character is actually "present" so to say. Like Helpy's eyes turning yellowish-orange for when the Mimic is speaking in his place. Anyway, at the elevator ending the camera on the wall has an orange lens. Just an observation.
To expand on the carnival significance, I always think of Fury's Rage, and in the background of one of the levels is a circus/carnival going on. That always stood out to me since playing that
Interesting
Speaking of Carnival, Funko did previously release a wave of Circus and Balloon animatronics. Coincidence, or not?
Also also, if i remember well, in fnaf 6 there were drawings of a clown in those screens of abandoned animatronics in the alley. Could be coincidence but i guess either Scott and Steel wool always had this idea of a carnival themed game
Furry's Rage?
@@familytablet6453 Fury's Rage, not Furry.
Another point to consider with the Scooper redesign is that canonicly every fnaf game prior to Help Wanted (including Sister Location!) is made by an indie game developer hired by Fazbear Entertainment, so it could just be the case that they way the Scooper looked in Sister Location just wasn't how it actually looked like
Actually, Squawks did a map, it's not ACTUALLY the Scooper room, it's a room near the Help Wanted elevator shaft.
The one we may have supposedly rode up at the end of Ruin...
*Michael having that thing scoop him* 😢😢
@@higueraft571 could you elaborate? cause I don't realy understand what you are trying to say
From what I know, all the FNAF games are canon, because they were made to make light hearted banter about what happened. FNAF 1-4 did infact happen, including sister location. So I think that the scooper we see now is just an updated and more modern scooper, but it's not what the original scooper looked like
@@Gurglmshurv >So I think that the scooper we see now is just an updated and more modern scooper, but it's not what the original scooper looked like
Except, if we started from the Fredbear's location. We end up just left of the Breaker Room on the SL map, and somewhere in between one of the "Reset" Buttons is this New Scooper.
Which is kinda far from the Opposite side of the map with both the Secret Room and Scooping Room...
Why are we surprised by Roxy being alive? It makes sense based on what we know it's extremely likely that we're rebooting her just like we did Eclipse. Maybe the mimic didnt think shed follow Cassie, who knows, but we can totally buy that were just turning her off temporarily, it's just played emotionally because Cassie wouldnt know that. Secondly, I just wanted to say that several people have made compelling theories that Gregory IS in the pizza plex. He never says he ISNT there, just that Cassie shouldnt be. Also he says trapped down "here" instead of "there." Seems like an important distinction.
He does explicitly say "I've been trying to reach you all night! I'm not at the Pizza Plex! Something is trying to trick you" as one of his first lines of dialogue when the real Gregory gets a hold of Cassy

When the Mimic is fighting Roxy, you can hear it going through Roxy’s voicelines, testing out her voice, before you hear Roxy gasp in surprise, and then the Mimic killing her. She was probably caught of guard by the Mimic mimicking her voice, and got got.
I fully believe the “Cassie” at the end of the game is the Mimic.
I don't think Roxy is dead, my reasoning is simple: "No Body, no Death". We never see Roxy's Corpse.
If the Mimic was trying to Kill her, and he can, we see the strength it's got, it could likely have a scene where it tosses the Corpse of Roxy out the Door and then chases you
@@CazzyVR "No body, no death"? You'd make a good MCI investigator
I honestly like to think that greg was the one talking and the mimic just awkwardly stares at the elevator door then looks down to see the battery and unplugs it. Basically i just think greg got really lucky to get that monologue in before the mimic realized the battery was there.
I've always found it wierd how Gregory knows about The Tangle and burntrap since he can draw then pretty accurately which kinda feels like confirmation that GGY is in some form canon
And/or, at least, he saw them AFTER SB, since he'd definitely been down again afterward
I saw a theory that is actually really interesting.
The chase sequence through the caves perfectly fits within the map of Sister Location.

Cassie fell into Help Wanted 2.
*Tangle and Mimic aren't gone yet...*
tangle?
@@Armoredmaple122the blob, "tangle" is it's official name, it just sounds off
@@Armoredmaple122
The files reveal the "Blob"/"Freddy Spaghetti"'s true name is "Tangle".
Tangle is a glitch(?) enemy from FNaF_World.
[Green and Purple-colored Mangle.]
Just like the Mimic got its name from another FNaF_World character/attack, "Mimic Ball".
The "Entity"/"Data-Bonnie"/"Shadow Bonnie"/"RWQFSFASXC" is a Dark rabbit character who appears to initially be an "Enemy", but also can be helpful.
(Easter Egg in 2 & CoDB, attacks during Remnant collection in SD, and attacks in RUIN-but is revealed to NOT be evil.)
The "Prototype" was an enemy in FNaF_World Update 2 who appeared as a endoskeleton with bear features-and wore a purple bowtie and had yellow eyes. Prototype Glamrock Freddy shares these details, as the Ending of Glamrock Freddy has him with Monty's claws & Chica's eyes.
Hell, even Vanessa's [seemingly] random "White Rabbit" OC/Costume calls back to a glitch(?) enemy from FNaF_World, "White Rabbit", a near perfect inversion of RXQ/Shadow Bonnie.
Even the idea of crossing between different "Planes" of Reality came from FNaF_World-you could cross at certain points and enter a level of a "Glitch" World. Where you're warned not to go deeper than 2 Levels, or you would be lost in the Glitches Forever.
Old Man Consequences shows up in UCN and can give you the achievement/ending of the Angel/Family in FNaF_World, and he most likely is the King in Princess Quest 2 AND 3-warning the Princess and giving her the Lantern/Sword.
Even Monty in RUIN could be a reference to Snap-Trap (Enemy in FNaF_World 1 and Update 2?)
The continued additions of "Minigames" with Real-World problems seems to just keep bringing FNaF_World to fruition.
(Happiest Day in FNaF 3 was caused BY the Events in Base/FNaF_World 1.)
"Into Madness" is Update 2/Special Delivery & VR: Help Wanted (1).
Now, with Security Breach and RUIN, plus HW 2, and the seemingly teaser of "Circus"(?) or a Fredbear's(?)/70's game is making FNaF_World Update 3 likely.
@@dragomanstefan2458 Alas, Tangle is a pretty terrible name, and we'll continue to use Blob :V
@@higueraft571it sounds like mangle too much
The Brazil ending to me felt like to be the most interesting out of the 3 due to it being a surprise twist of if Cassie did escape but possibly didn’t. Also Helpy being there as well gives info of while at first to trick Cassie on thinking he is safe with Gregory, but also foreshadowing that the next mainline FNAF game will possibly take place at a carnival featuring the circus animatronics.
Maybe it's not telling us how Cassie ended up being the next villain but most likely how Gregory became Dr.Rabbit
If you listen closely afyer the mimic defeats roxy you can hear it going through her voice lines so roxy saying cassies name in the elevator ending is probably the mimic
Interesting!
WHY is the mimic doing all of this?
@@dragonempress8367 idk rye toast will probably figure it out
@@dragonempress8367 if we talk on account the books and do a parallel. Angry. He is just a robot programmed to mimic others. It's creator had hurt him and tried destroying it. He is just doing what he was programmed mimic what he sees. He probably saw Afton doing the kills so he mimics him. Differently from Afton that is a human with emotions, mimic is a robot with a programming. He can't say what is wrong or not differently from Afton. On this case I blame the creator for doing irresponsible use of technology without thinking about consequences if it started mimicking wrong things. 🤷🤷
You’ve probably already mentioned it, but a lot of people speculate that the fourth scrapped ending would focus on fixing all the shattered animatronics
To add to the points made to the Grimmic cutting out Gregory in the elevator, the Grimmic dialogue seems to use the phrase 'save me' alot which the Grimmic uses at the end too

One detail about the elevator ending that alot don't notice, that if you look at the elevator metal gate that the Mimic grabs on to as the gate closes down, it's so strong with only one arm/hand left, it's bending the metal on the gate. So what's really stopping it from making the elevator fall down as well, if it's that strong?

I'm still at least partially under the impression that the mimic and the vanny mask conspired to put Cassy into a state of suspended consciousness in the brazil ending because the entire point of luring someone down there to free it had another benefit of hand delivering a human body for the mimic to inhabit as a disguise to leave the pizzaplex undetected. They deliberately referenced a movie where the main idea being portrayed is that the mind can and will recede within itself to escape a physical reality that's too unbearable to be mentally present in, not to mention how many times Cassy has confirmed out loud that the mask hurts her and has moments where it's impossible to remove. I think the mask and the mimic were using her whole journey through the pizzaplex to prime her consciousness to be pushed back and aside to avoid her dying of shock when the right moment came for the mimic to try to somehow occupy Cassy's body like a suit. The mask was delivered to her to make Cassy more likely to accept an augmented reality that everything was okay, despite the panic and pain of what's actually physically about to happen to her.
I agree with that ! It would be quite a plot twist if it turned out the Brazil ending was the canon one. Moreover, I think the Daycare chapter is actually very significant in this game. Sun was "trapped in a nap", existing only in AR. Cassie may be trapped in a nap as well, now that the vanny mask has fully latched onto her. Also the golden tree we can see in the Daycare on the walls is the same that appears in the Brazil ending, and it appears nowhere else in the game. In the future, Cassie may have to directly fight against the Mimic's influence, much like how Sun had to fight Moon's, though he needed help to do it.
I think from now on, Fnaf's story will be about duality, opposite forces being at war. There are a lot of clues : Sun and Moon, Dream and Reality, Green and Purple (as they both appear on every Glamrock animatronics, and even Cassie herself), Protection (Green) and Destruction (Purple); maybe even Charlie (the Puppet) and Glitchtrap, all existing simultaneously within the same space, or sometimes within the same body.
I also want to point out the parallels between the Princess in Princess Quest (Cassidy) and Cassie herself, apart from their names. Their stories are very similar, and in the end, Cassie/Cassidy is the savior, but she also needs to be saved (from Glitchtrap/the Mimic). Maybe in the future she will save the ruined Animatronic, much like she did with Roxy and Eclipse, with the help of Gregory and Vanessa.
@@melissagarcia1705 Wouldn't be the first time-it's been theorised that Golden Freddy has more than one possessor and the Stitchwraith has had two souls as well with one coming from Fetch's battery box.
The "Bear with me" moment made me laugh out loud, now everyone in close proximity thinks I'm weird.
They ain't wrong.
An alternate take on the Brazil ending: I think the primary purpose of this ending is to tell us that the Princess Quest ending of Security Breach is NOT the canon ending. The Brazil ending is happy ending that's not actually happening. I think the balloons in the background are a reference to Happiest Day, a happy ending that didn't actually happen. By extension, the other ending referenced, the Princess Quest ending of Security Breach, was a happy ending that didn't actually happen.
And considering Cassie is also short for Cassidy, It really explains It……Cassidy is imagining a happy ending for her and the rest of the children, where she, Charlie, CC, Elizabeth, Micheal and all the Missing Children have had their happy day, where they have found peace, moved on….CC, Micheal and Elizabeth on top of a hill, eating ice cream.
Just wanted to say loved the jokes thrown in this one. "Maybe he should read books." "Yes, grimic is cannon." Good stuff.
The Scooper ending is really reminiscent of the Burntrap ending with the Scooper being the Amalgom (Blob) and the Mimic being Burntrap
Awesome video! Ever since the mimic said "I'm ... Gregory" I've been terrified at the possibility that we are playing as the mimic in SB and not human flesh boy Gregory. Violently disassembling all the animatronics for seemingly no reason, the fact that Vanny messes with our vision, being able to crawl inside Freddy and control him as if we're wearing him as a suit. I really don't want it to be the case, can you please disprove this theory so I can sleep again??
Is not he seen in the game? The mimic can get into every costume and animetronic, but it would not fit into a kidshape and size. You should. Be able to sleep just fine, he might be a robot kid, but he ain't the mimic in security breach, the mimic just stalked him in that game so it now can use his voicelines
No because that actually makes sense because of the voice line Freddy has when he gets Roxy's eyes " You look different to me now" or whatever the exact line is I don't remember. 😢😅
Sorry to make it worse lol
@@SingingSealRiana You do see Burntrap, but to my knowledge it's still not confirmed by Steel Wool if they're the same character. If I recall correctly, I don't think you actually lay eyes on the mimic in SB.
I guess the other thing is the mimic could genuinely think it Is Gregory, so it's convinced itself it's a little boy. So maybe the first person view models of Greg's little hands are just hallucinations or projections of that belief like the in the game Soma (great game btw).
@@42_violets not the mimic, unless he is burntrap but that's another can of worms, ....
but we see Gregory, Gregory is childsized, and shaped and the mimic is to big to assume that form! It can't mimic what it had not seen, that's why it mostly uses lines it heared Gregory speak so it would get the impression right!
Even if the mimic thought it where genuinly gregory, that would not allow it to be as small as the kid, hide in Freddy chest, his hight..... We see just how much taller the mimic is as cassy and cassy and gregory have about the same perspective meaning they should be close in hight. Also, the mimic acts very differently when cassy meets it, then gregory did in sb
@@SingingSealRiana a can of worms indeed lol. My counter to that is that the mimic is crouched down pretty low when we first see it, about the same height as Cassy. so there's a chance that it's just... like crawling(?) through SB, maybe? Its size is definitely a hole in the theory, I'm just (sadly) not totally convinced it's impossible. Though I guess "can wear any suit" is significantly different than "can hide inside a glamrock suit alonside the original endo".
for it looking like a kid, we only see Gregory in SB in the cameras, it could just be again hallucinating. I don't want to say illusion disks, I hate illusion disks, it can't be illusion disks lol. I won't believe it could be illusion disks.
Wonderful theory :D
I might sound crazy for thinking this, but maybe Steel Wool chose the movie Brazil because it was released in 1985? The same year the MCI took place in the games
Possibly!
I think that is a very valid idea
The 5 balloons also feel telling...
MCI?
@@AlphaGargIt means Missing Children Incident
Y'know I like the Brazil ending to be cannon. It is honestly the most interesting ending if it was. And like you said, it would lead beautifully if the next game was about a circus or circus themed place.
And i absolutely love the last frame of the video. There's not a thought in that kitty's mind.
Pilgrim’s Progress was a game by Scott Cawthon released in 2011, before FNAF. The title character looks a lot like Balloon Boy and fits the “Carnival” theme as well as the Freddy and Friend’s cartoon teasers for SB. Could it be the Ballon Boy mini game and the Princess Quest mini game both were signs of things to come?
Additionally, I also draw a parallel between the Foxy.exe minigame in FNAF World to the Ruin ending as well as the SL ending:
“Listen to the sound of my voice; and you will descend into the heart of madness.”
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that, for the Brazil ending, Cassie would've had to have seen Vanessa at some point, or something similar. As far as we know, Cassie and Vanessa have never been in the same room.
I questioned this as well but since Cassie’s dad worked at the Pizzaplex, there could be a chance she’s at least passed by Vanessa at some point? Idk
The idea of a FNaF game set in a Carnival/Theme park had always been something I've wanted to see.
Whether this will be used to showcase further Mimic hijinks or be used explain the origins of Fazbear Entertainment is honestly really exciting.

ive heard plenty of people say that a last variable saying "none" in a row of variable is just good coding practise, meaning it doesnt indicate anything at all
not entirely sure if that is the case, but i can def believe it meaning nothing at all
@@Sopsy_Hallow It really depends on coding style.
Just saying, in a cut version of the Neutral Ending, after the feedback noise Gregory would say to Cassie “make sure you aren’t followed.” Implying Gregory would save Cassie after the feedback sound originally. So it seems it’s still Gregory after the feedback noise.
4:49 Im glad someone finally said something about this because I said the same thing. Putting the answer to your ending in the files (that's apparently easily accessed) spoils everything
I definitely believe that all the previous locations are connected through the underground cave system! With Help Wanted 2 on the way, Sister Location being the main focus, you best know Steelwool AND Scott are cooking up some lore. Ruin leading right into Help Wanted 2 would be insane, especially how Scott likes to make a new game to explain what we missed in the others. Sister Location we’ve missed SO MUCH and Scott is leading us back there!
Great video! I always wondered how much cat hair you have on you after recording😂
Just had a shock of inspiration from this video, but Help Wanted 2 definitely seems like it could be a direct prequel to Security Breach, where you play as GGY completing various tasks and mini games like in the original help wanted, but at the sister location and pizza sim locations. Could have the old games too, not sure, but the point being it tells how Gregory breaks free of the Mimic’s control, leading to security breach.
Similar to how the secret true endings of Help Wanted had you collecting pieces to free glitchtrap aka mimic, this one will have you completing secret tasks that will free GGY

Something I’d like to point out is that when Gregory talks about the Mimic being stuck down in the area Cassidy was in he says “Here” instead of “There”. It’s a bit strange for someone that isn’t there at all. Just something to think about.
Not really. It sounds strange if he said "there", as (to Cassie's PoV), it may indicate specifically that room, rather than her "here", the general Below Regions.

I agree about the various pizzaria's being built on the same lot, and the sister location being connected underground. I think the only thing it tells us is why everything is coming together like it is, though. Edit: Well, my current theory is that some of the earlier games are now considered allegory, similar to Candy Cadet's stories, and that the Mimic 1.0 was the actual killer of the 2nd set of missing children. In which case them explicitly showing the connection of all the locations explains why it's still sealed away and accessible from the pizzaplex. I just have to figure out if there is any real explanation for Burntrap that comes out of all of that. Puts a real fly in the ointment if I can't explain that incarnation. Other than that I feel like the rest of the timeline is actually significantly cleaned up from my theory.
The thing Im confused about is the Mimic doesnt seem to have a higher mentality than just rip people apart. Its so animalistic and I doubt that it has the cognitive function to think "I shall trap this poor girl in virtual reality and make her a little puppet for my bidding". Like what is the point of that? It's "free", it can take the body of Cassie to do murderous things, but what would the point of making her a puppet after freeing it be?
I have only heard summaries of the books so maybe Im missing something, but everytime I hear a Mimic story is that It's trying to free itself in the only way it knows: manipulation and animalistic nature.
possibly a Pinocchio-like desire to become a real person, it truly thinks it is human and wishes to visually appear as such.
Also, Cassie has the Vanny Mask, which only a human body can use seemingly, and with that, the mimic could easily find its way out of the deep maze-like pizzaplex and even hack the network (now that M.X.E.S. is disabled) and take over the entire pizzaplex virtually/electronically.
Well, as far as I'm aware, its only motive is to escape. Now that it has (the concrete is gone, MXES is shut down), what's the point of posessing someone's mind and continuing things as if it hasnt gotten its way? It seems we now need a conclusion to the Mimic story in the next handful of games or books. The majority of the Mimic's story is told, it was created, it murdered, it's locked up, and now it's escaped. Now the conclusion is to destroy it.
I seriously don't understand why so many people were convinced Gregory was the one to drop the elevator. It makes absolutely zero sense!
People are still getting used to the mimic I guess
I still believe Gregory drop it and I already got used to the mimic since it's appearance in the book
I have my reason
If you break the bounds of the game, Cassie doesn’t fall that far down. About 1 level or at most 2.
I belive that this brazil ending has a lot to do with help wanted. Think about it, in both games, when divergeing from the expected route(not following gregory instruciton and following glitchtrap) you are presented to a foreshadowing to the next game(if the "carnaval" was foreshawdowed in the final game). It's just something that can't be ignored
Think there’s some good theories going around about what happened in Ruin. My two cents are. Either the mimic cut the elevator or Gregory is under the influence of Glitchtrap (still not 100% sure if the mimic and Glitchtrap are exactly the same entity) regardless I find it unlikely a “normal” Gregory would sacrifice his friend. Another thing I wanted to point out is the mimic’s mascot costume. I think those characters that make up pieces of the suit are part of the original cast of characters that predated William and Henry working together to make Fredbear’s Family Dinner. If the Mimic is Glitchtrap then I guess it make’s sense that it would want everything to do with William Afton including relics (the costumes) from the past. But that’s just how I’m seeing it at the moment.
What I don’t understand is why the Mimic wears all three costumes stitched together, when there are models for all three suits, in tact, in that room. I feel like it means something lore wise but I’m not sure what.
@@strawberryxsangria That is a good question. I think the reason here’s other models still together, it could be that they are backup costumes just in case one gets damaged. Kinda like how in the parts and service rooms in previous games have multiple heads and other parts of the animatronics.
HW 2 is a virtual version of Cassie/Cassie's dad leaving the underground area by going through all the locations connected to eachother and the twist ending is the events that were experienced are happening in the real world but obscured by the mask or something else.
I don't think Roxy calling out for Cassie necessarily means she's alive. She could very well see Cassie's body and call out to her and the audio could cut before she figures out if Cassie is alive or dead.
To add to the idea of this also being the Sister Location Bunker, how else did Henry know about the Scooper in FNAF6's Insanity Ending.
Because he has William's Blueprints for the SL Scooper? :V
Also note this is a different room from SL's
@@higueraft571 Yes, but as this video points out, it could very well just be a redesign so it doesn't matter if it looks different or not.
I’m just now realizing that you put Toxtricity to represent Cassie’s Dad because he has the ability Technician. That’s a big brain move
FANF Carnival and your idea for it's potential setting sounds so damn cool!! Great theory as always!!
The thing is, Cassie falls down as the elevator falls. When it hits the floor, she's lying down, she very easily could've survived due to her positioning. If she'd been standing, I'd be more worried. But Steel Wool may not know that XD
I think it's just Gregory in the ending. The primary evidence I have seen used to suggest it's the Mimic, the static sound effect and Greg saying 'I know you did it for me' were both in the unused ending where Greg spares Cassie. To me that is just a sign that Steel Wool did not put either of those things in the ending to imply that the Mimic hijacked the elevator.
And in terms of method I think he just hacked into the elevator and had it drop. This very DLC references Greg being a hacker with the easter egg of a robot he hacked into trying to reach out to Cassie.
Yeahhh, there’s one problem with that, that’s a service elevator, one with no computerized components at all. Gregory is a good hacker, but if he doesn’t know where Cassie is, and isn’t physically there, he can’t hack an analog elevator, you’d have to be there to cut the power, AND the emergency cord. Also, the overlap in subtitles between Gregory and… the other one, suggests that someone was interfering with the comms. It should be noted that the mimic is perfectly able to hijack radio signals, which might mean we never heard Gregory at all.
@@jacksonvoet8312 He knows where Cassie is, he led her to this exact location. And I think everything was connected to a system with the plex.
I do not think the subtitle thing means anything. He says the 'I know you did it for me' line in the spare ending in the files as well.

Gregory is also a mimic. Even in the base game.
Also, the wall code in "Michael's room" details how to release the original mimic or at the very least unearth where it is buried.
Also, also, old man consequences mini game depicts Cassies fall in the elevator
Why how and how
Ruin has the same feel as the older games. Lore wise at least. Subtle things u may not see and if u do it hints towards lore and minigames (books in this case) that also show lore and a story in a vague way. Its a breath of fresh air. And all this theorising is nostalgic and remjnds me of theorising like when the fnaf 3 trailer came out and stuff like that.
My interpretation of the Brazil ending was Helpi (Not controlled by Mimic as his eyes are blue [Side note, seeing Helpi replace Freddy makes me think it's a branch off of the Freddy AI one that saw the drawings of Gregory before being loaded into the mask]) trapping Cassie's mind in a fantasy world to spare her from the pain of death, but your interpretation could also work nicely.
As for Roxy asking about Cassie, she's still blind, she stumbles into something soft and child shaped she can't really confirm if it's a costume or something else without asking.
I dunno, all elevator theories have to include that the Mimic’s hand is cut off *before* Gregory says that they can’t risk being followed. When we know the Mimic can recreate itself from just that one part. Which does vibe better with Gregory trying to save Cassie and only when he can see from the cameras the hand get cut off, he suddenly can’t save her anymore.
4:47 while interesting theory that Mimic takes back communications, I always had 3 problems with it. Why would Mimic crash the elevator? How would Mimic crash the elevator (Gregory could have access to the elevator shaft itself)? (Okay, a little later he explains how the mimic could do it, but I think Gregory still could do it).:And most importantly, why the f. would Mimic mimic Gregory's voice? It's trying to kill us. Unless it's some sort of 5d chess where the Mimic crashes the elevator, but in a way where Cassie is alive and talks fo Cassie so now Cassie hates Gregory for crashing her down there. But I don't think the mimic is that smart, since it only knows how to mimic.
Gregory is good at hacking, but that elevator is an old-timey service elevator, no computers at all within it. Gregory can’t hack an elevator if it’s just electricity and wires, but the mimic is very strong, so it could just cut a vital cord.
>Why would Mimic crash the elevator?
Cassie's about to become A Problem. You saw how it reacted to the idea of "calling the cops"
>How
Most likely, because it has access to the Pizzaplex's Network, thanks to you, and considering the intro shaft, it's likely not TOO much effort to crash it...
>Why mimic Greggory
It's probably INTENDING us to die, but what if we DID survive? You dont want Cassie going back to her aid, to guide her out safely, you want her to be Alone.
>But I don't think the mimic is that smart, since it only knows how to mimic.
It's actually PRETTY god damn smart, if it were Glitchtrap as well. How would it learn to possess people like that? Not to mention, it was able to figure out Cassie's connection to Greggory, prevent Greggory from warning her, and to lure her there.
It has Greggory's voice, and the Walkie Talkie used to lure it into that room, and that's about it.
Think of it more like a Kenku, it can mimic INCREDIBLY well, and it requires some info TO mimic, but they can creatively utilize said mimicry in a way to create their own "original" stuff.

The camera and speaker are definitely hooked into computers/the network, possibly the buttons as well.
Okay, fair enough.@@higueraft571
@@jacksonvoet8312 that would be part of my point. I don't remember what Gregory exactly said, but it was something like "I wasn't at the pizzaplex" which to me could mean that now he is there.

And if it's an old timey elevator then even less likely that the mimic could have somehow cut the holding cable of an elevator that's going upwards from it.
Some people are theorizing that Roxy saying Cassie’s name is actually The Mimic, Which I really hope isn’t the case, I really hope she’s not dead, I really want her and Roxy to return in the future.
I could see that, I also hope it's wrong though. For Cassie's sake
Honestly, i kinda DO (And dont, but less so) hope that Cassie's dead...
Because that introduces something INFINITELY more *spicy* to the series, not to mention hitting like 2-3 separate parallels in the games/books at once.
Maybe the bunker is bigger than we thought, that would explain why the layout is completely different. Perhaps the elevator went deeper down than we thought (even though the elevator looks completely different but whatever)
>Maybe the bunker is bigger than we thought
Or, at least, it's been modified since we last saw it.
I'm hoping the Scooper ending is canon and Ruin's story ties into Help Wanted 2(since we saw the Sister Location elevator in the teaser). But that's asking a lot and I believe "Help Wanted style" gameplay wouldn't be able to tell the story effectively

One possibility of why certain characters or objects look different is because of Help Wanted. Help Wanted talks about the indie developer covering up what really happened-this means SW has free reign to retcon designs of whatever they want.
Also, I found out something fascinating about tigers recently. Did you know tigers can MIMIC the sounds of prey to lure them in? Perhaps that’s why they chose Tiger Rock as one of the forms of the Mimic in the books.
AR has a hard cut at the concrete door. Mimic didn't have any access to reprogram Helpi actively during the events of Ruin if a mimic trapped for a 'long time' even would have the skill to. Which means there must be an outside actor free in the Pizzaplex. The only reasonable option, imo, is Glitchtrap, who was trained on Vanessa and Gregory to learn hacking skills. My theory is Glitchtrap wants access to the Mimic 1.0 endo to have a physical body. the Mimic demonstrates that it needs to train on mimicing a voice during the end fight with Roxxy, and so far has mostly just shown straight copying of existing voicelines. Helpi shows early on that it can create brand new voicelines of Cassi. Which also calls into question if it was the Mimic who cut the elevator, or if it being released into the AR section let Glitchtrap infect it like the other animatronics. Also, I think THAT is why they 'disguised' the voicelines for the elevator cutting in the files. Although technically grimic could be Glitch-mimic rather than gregory-mimic. Edit: I also think there is a third version of the Mimic program active. We have Mimic 1.0 in the basement (who I am now thinking was responsible for the 2nd set of missing children rather than an actual physical Afton, 'trained' as an AI by accident watching Afton be a psycho, and was sealed away), Glitchtrap mind-virus via Sister Location to trained in VR from a copy of Mimic 1.0, and the so far not really revealed game version of the Tiger Rock Mimic, reprogrammed from the same or similar copy...having existed in the giant Freddie head and the white and black wires and now...part of The Tangle and in somewhat opposition to the Mimic 1.0 and Glitchtrap because it was hardcoded to keep the pizzaplex connected (gathering up the broken animatronics and bodies) and running.
It's not actually Helpi.. technically. He is mimicking Helpi as there are two different sprites for him, one that is normal with blue eyes and one that has yellow eyes and veins on his head. I think that the mask itself had the mimics AI in it and now since it's basically in Cassie's brain she needs to destroy the mimic or it won't stop following them. This also explains why the mimic knows where Cassie is when she's progressing through the story. Also keep in mind the mimic knows how to disable the security nodes so never assume it can't do more advanced things
@@FunkeMunke_ That's true, there are the destroyed nodes in the basement, and an assumption that the concrete was poured relatively recently compared to the MXES system itself. On the other hand there's no direct proof the Mimic endo is what destroyed those nodes (or if they're just extras/unconfigured nodes stored with the MXES), AND if the Mimic program is in the Vanni mask (assumption on it being the original Vanni mask and not "A" VANNI mask as it tries to imply with the intro about 'all technicians are required to wear their mask') by default I'd assume that version of the mimic program would be, well, Glitchtrap. Cause Vanni. I should have mentioned the orange eyes, though, you're right. You'd think if it was Glitchtrap doing the re-programming/infecting of Helpi they'd be purple like the infected animatronics AR glow.
Yoooooooo!! You blew my mind with the brazil ending explanation. My brain thought it was SO out of place for the daycare music to play, but that alluding to the daycare area being gregory's and the balloon boy game being what corrupt him -- wow! I'm sold on this.
I think that the sister location room in the base game of security breach is similar to the scooper room. It is a sort of remodelled or replica of the original rooms.
As someone else had determined, it's in the wrong location, closer to where the Vent Repair minigame in HW would be than the actual Scooping Room
Man, Fazbear Entertainment really can't get zoning for a new location.
I think the fact that they keep building on the same location is absolutely hilarious. Like, all other locations get shut down except for that one spot.
For real, it tracks with the image we have of this greedy, shady company too
Considering that this is a first person game, I think we should consider the time dilation someone going through a traumatic event might have. Even if the elevator only fell for a short time, Cassie would've experienced it as taking much longer.
My argument that it was Gregory who dropped Cassie is Gregory says he’s not in the pizza plex but slips up and says “down here” in his for sure dialogue. Down here is technically not the pizza plex and he would be able to cut the elevator too. We know his backpack is in the room right before the mimic right next to a tunnel, so he could’ve been down there the entire time. Plus if he’s meant to be patient 46 a Roxy and Cassie avenge story arc would be a lot more satisfying.
@RyeToast
My personal belief is that the difference between the Scoopers is that the SL Scooper is purely William's design.
He ONLY needed it for retrieval of Remnant/Endoskeletons.
The Scooper in RUIN is a FazBear design. They would've eventually found the SL Bunker given the proximity between all these places. Who's to say they didn't find a way to utilize his research to build or upgrade the Scooper and use Remnant from HIS robots to improve THEIR robots?...
*(Note: FazBear in the books used the Mimic to train a new Generation of Animatronics and other machines. What if FazBear in the games used the Scooper in lieu of not finding the Mimic?...)*
>They would've eventually found the SL Bunker given the proximity between all these places.
They definitely did, if they had ANY records of old FazEnt (Which, considering AR and HW, they do) and Henry didnt destroy it first.
As for utilizing his research? I honestly doubt that, they dont seem *aware* of the Supernatural Stuff going on, as a whole...
@@higueraft571
When I said they used his Research, I was talking about using the older robots in the newer ones.
(Like in the books.)
The fact that you and FuhNaff have posted such similar theories today is so funny
ngl the brazil ending would make sense seeing as the vanny mask could be taking control of cassie as we see cassie couldnt take off the mask during some points in the game,maybe cassie becomes brainwashed and we have to go through a carnival theme pizzeria in the new game
100%
Roxy's line at the end of the elevator credits doesn't confirm her survival. It's likely that the mimic copies Roxy during the fight, which can kind of be heard if you turn voice volume off when Gregory is trying to talk to you. Although I'm not sure exactly what the noises are.
Gregory faked his death and is currently residing in Brazil with a fake name.
True
I’m really excited to see where Help Wanted 2 goes with the story, and if we’re lucky, we’ll see Roxy again, and maybe Chica will play a big role? Monty is probably dead, because he was electrocuted in water, so he’s probably gone.
For the scooper everything we see at the end of Ruin seems to be built by Henry.
It's connected to the Pizza place very closely and has a similar design, he has the blueprints for the SL scooper, understands Remnent, and was missing after his daughter's death to Fnaf 6 which was 40 years, so what was he doing in all that time?
Who knows what he could have been doing with all that knowledge and time, maybe he built the Mimic thus making the parallel even deeper to the books and would also help explain why the Mimic is trapped there, why those random suits are there and maybe they are the ones maybe mentioned in Fnaf 3.
For the Brazil ending I feel more like it's implying that the Cassie is choosing to believe the fantasy instead of what's about to happen which is the Mimic killing her so it's an escape from reality one last time, though your idea could also work.
Do note: The "New Scooper Room" has the post-6 logo on it. It's also in a location that's more specifically the Help Wanted Vent Repair region, just past the Breaker Room in SL.
As for "understands Remnant", more he read William's notes and rolled with those assumptions (which burned him in the end, pun intended) :V
>and was missing after his daughter's death to Fnaf 6 which was 40 years, so what was he doing in all that time?
One theory was: In Prison since 1985, before CBPW let alone CBEAR had opened or Elizabeth had died.
@@higueraft571 Fazbear entertainment was definitely down there as we already knew that so them having equipment within the scooper room means nothing just that they were there, or SteelWool messed up and Fazbear was never in that room.
Unless that is William's soul still kicking around Henry understood remnent well enough to burn everything so he succeeded.
If he was in prison he definitely would not have been the CEO still able to close down the business, If he went to prison especially for the disappearances he would not even be able to open the Pizza place let alone shut down the whole company.
@@Gaterman >Unless that is William's soul still kicking around Henry understood remnent well enough to burn everything so he succeeded.
Yeeah, William's still kicking, and most likely the MCI kids too, and Cassidy.
Keep in mind: Henry's plan is ENTIRELY centered around what seems to be an idle hypothesis that was NEVER tested, the "Double-maybe" hinting towards it's dubiousness.
Additionally, Controlled Shocks are "High Heat" as well, hence how it'd stun them so effectively in SL and 6.
Not to mention, William *survived* the FNAF 3 fire. He was knocked out, as we were told the effect would be in the blueprint, but the high heat didnt destroy him.
Also, while i dont remember the exact details of it, i believe someone DID note that Henry would've been hit with about a 25~ year sentence for the MCI. If he were locked up in 1985 or 1986, that'd put his release date at 2010~ at the earliest.
Do note, they NEVER found the bodies to confirm a murder happened, but there'd still be charges either way, as mentioned.
@@higueraft571 Other than burntrap who resembles William we don't know if that's actually him or just a copy of his consciousness which is different or a Mimic.
Whatever the Blob is it isn't the souls as it attacks a child, the one thing they would never do so the Blob is likely AI or agony.
William's soul is in ultimate custom night so he did burn sufficiently to die but Cassidy wouldn't allow him to fully leave but his remnent is burnt away.
In Fnaf 3 it's likely William simply escaped the burning building that's why the place need to be specifically designed in 6 to have no chance of escape.
Henry's knowledge comes from William and he would have tested out remnents weakness of fire so he got it from the source that fire destroys remnent.
If Henry was convicted of any crime like that the board of directors or anyone else would have kicked him out/replaced him in the intermediate time, you can't hold on position like the CEO and remain within prison as you need to hand it over.
So Henry was never convicted of any crime.
@@Gaterman >Whatever the Blob is it isn't the souls as it attacks a child, the one thing they would never do so the Blob is likely AI or agony.
If you were:
Stuffed into suits at a Pizzeria, left to rot (both the child corpses and suits) as your souls possessed them, shipped to a new location where bits of you were ripped out for new animatronics, modified heavily after *6* more years (8 now, total), abandoned again, torn apart, merged together, then torn into a messy soup of bits of yourself and others, dumped in some bunker for *god* knows how long, potentially up to nearly 25-30 years, merging BACK together into a freaky monster (we're now approaching 38~ years since MCI), that then finally gets burned and sealed up *again* underground for... depending on the exact date of SB, about another 6-12 years (44-50 years now)...
You'd probably be a LITTLE fucked at that point, regardless of how you'd feel initially.
Also do note: Books definitely hint that the dead *do* forget over time. The MCI kids by 1995 had forgotten their names, and believed themselves to *be* the characters they possessed. *And* that their Killer was their friend.
A bunch of kids being blended up and turned into a freaky cable monster are probably gonna be pretty feral, by then. More running off Instinct than much logic.
If Freddy *were* referring to them... that'd imply most of their emotions are Anger and *Confusion.*
>William's soul is in ultimate custom night so he did burn sufficiently to die but Cassidy wouldn't allow him to fully leave but his remnent is burnt away.
Except he *cant* die for UCN to occur. Not to mention, one unspoken rule i've noticed...
FNAF never has anything take place in the "Afterlife", and pretty rarely even *touches* on that as a topic, in the "Moving on" department.
The ONLY instance i believe that it's outright stated, was in the Stitchwraith Epilogues, once. With one potentially happening in Happiest Day, too.
Additonally, i dont think you really *KNOW* what Remnant is?
More or less, it's what makes up the Soul, what Animates you.
The Soul, or "Whole Remnant", is made up of Light Remnant and Dark Remnant.
Light Remnant is made up of Components, we dont know of any that are confirmed to exist, aside from Love, the strongest of the Lights.
Dark Remnant is ALSO made up of Components, the only one confirmed to exist for this side, of course, is Agony. The strongest of the Darks and overall.
Agony, in particular, functions as the Foundation, a sort of Glue, AND a Conduit all in one.
It's the basis that animates something. But that something isnt truly "alive" until there's something *else* in there. As for Conduit? It most likely serves as a means to transfer other Components safely, despite their normal sensitivity/lack of persistence.
We *DO* know a few aspects of Love/Light Remnant as well...
In particular, it's *incredibly* effective at Illusions and Regeneration. Like, say... Michael at the end of SL.
>In Fnaf 3 it's likely William simply escaped the burning building that's why the place need to be specifically designed in 6 to have no chance of escape.
Sister Location contradicts this COMPLETELY.
He is lying down in the rubble of Fazbear Frights, inside the location. He was ALSO lying down (presumably in the location too) in the FNAF 3 ending newspaper as well.
He wasnt hiding under anything either.
>Henry's knowledge comes from William and he would have tested out remnents weakness of fire so he got it from the source that fire destroys remnent.
You *are* correct that his knowledge comes from William.
However, where would he have gotten that Remnant? Do you think he *really* tested it, personally?
"The Source", again, fires off that hypothesis with a double-maybe.
Something that reads "If Heat stuns it, does more heat destroy it?"
William wouldnt have wasted his *incredibly* valuable (And limited) supply on an experiment that'd destroy it, that easily...
He'd likely wait til he had enough he could afford to destroy some.
There's also a few aspects of Henry's Plan, aside from the core of it, which are fucking stupid too :V
Roxy saying "Cassie?" may not exactly mean Cassie is alive. She could be in a messed up state and Roxy is questioning what she has come across (or seen, assuming she can see at the point). Then again idk if the devs are ballsy enough to go that dark >w>
I don't think the scooping room is the exact same as Sister Location, but I do believe it means something. Help Wanted 2 is gonna focus on Sister Location, and in the teaser you can find the same type of puzzle we do with the faz-wrench, now in the Sister Location elevator. So I believe Help Wanted 2 is gonna foreshadow "Security Breach 2" or "Carnival", whatever this new game is.
After playing through all Help Wanted 2 levels, we will go back to Cassie, as she and Roxy are walking across the abandoned Sister Location, being chased by the Mimic. Cut to credits. Yeah, I believe in the next game, Cassie and Roxy are gonna explore the remains of Sister Location, while trying to find an exist to the surface and escape from the Mimic. Think of the LORE we could get. Imagine how much exposition Roxy could give Cassie, about Glitchtrap and Vanessa. Imagine if Roxy and Cassie end up finding the Fnaf 4 gameplay room.
But I don't think this is all the game will be about. I think there will be a parallel story, where Gregory and Vanessa try to rescue Cassie. If the Mimic was the one who dropped the elevator, then Gregory would be worried, he would be worried because he lost communication with Cassie so abruptly, so I can see him and Vanessa teaming up to rescue her, and maybe defeat the Mimic once and for all. Also Freddy's head will probably with them.
So imagine these two parallel stories, Roxy and Cassie underground, Gregory , Vanessa and Freddy in the surface, going further and further down to find Cassie. Then in the end both parties meet, lots of exposition and lore reveals, and finally a Boss Battle against the Mimic. Something that would be crazy would be if the Mimic stole the Illusion Disks from the NIGHTMARES (assuming the Nightmares are real theory is correct). Like imagine if the Mimic finds the fnaf 4 gameplay room, finds the nightmares deactivated, takes their illusion disks and that allows him to become this super grotesque monster like the Twisted Ones. I'm just rambling at this point but that would be so cool.
It could also be that instead of a sequel will get a PREQUEL after Help Wanted 2, a prequel about a Carnival taking place in the 70s-80s. Then maybe after that we jump back to the present to Cassie, Gregory and Vanessa.
that last theory with the cutout and the next game, it frigging blows my mind. :0
Thank you for pointing out the battery next to the elevator. I've tried to prove it was the Mimic who dropped the evaluator but nobody over on the FNAF subreddit will take me seriously.
I think the Gregory in the raceway is real Greg. If it was just the mimic then it’s telling two stories at once. That it’s locked in the basement and also in the other room hiding from Roxy. But during that little Wally talky bit Greg goes from
“Cassie I’m ok I found a spot to hide” followed by the Walky talky cuts normally
“Turn off nodes in the salon to follow Roxy” radio static but no cut, similar to the elevator
“Hurry! She’s close” in a much more panicked voice.
So it’s either mimic is really bad at lying and slipped and Cassie doesn’t realize it says that it is both in the other room hiding from Roxy and also is locked in the basement at the same time. Or Gregory is at the pizzaplex at that point and then after the Roxy encounter goes to get his friend with building plans to help in the final dash.
Only thing I know for certain is steel wool really kills it with the art of the characters, the cut outs and the Brazil ending all look super nice
Your cat is adorable 😍😍😍
Genuinely thought people were calling it the Brazil ending as a meme, I did not think it was actually called that in the files

yeah its actually quite annoying. give us some answers for once rather than making the story even more ridiculously convoluted. people are getting burnt out from it.
Lmao I don't think ruin really gives any answers besides Bonnie. Like the footprints in gator golf still 0 answers
up until now i was adamant that the scooper ending was the canon/correct ending. Mimic slipped out either like one would a jacket when you're grabbed or it does like the books says it can and shapeshift and slip it's way out. It escaped and we find out more in HW2 since it is in the Sister Location. But after what you said about the brazil ending, I think it could possibly be canon. That or it's foreshadowing things to come for us to figure out like a lot of what you speculated. I actually am beginning to think more as I have typed this that whichever one is canon, the other two are still giving us information of what's next. Which honestly sounds about right for Scott and Steel Wool.
What ending do you think is canon?
Probably the elevator ending
I think the Brazil Ending is cannon.

The only other thing I know about the Brazil movie is that Phil Vischer, the co-creator of VeggieTales, was inspired by Terry Gilliam's movies.
Terry Gilliam directed Brazil, by the way.
Hey Rye!
Something I wanted to point out is that during the fight with Mimic and Roxy (when Gregory is talking to you), you can hear the Mimic start mimicking Roxy and, presumably, kill her. I think that when Roxy says “Cassie?” It’s not our best girl, it’s actually the Mimic. You can hear the audio when you disable Gregory and Cassie speaking. Just something to point out
Woah, dude, I have an explanation for why Roxy was restored!
Okay, so Freddy malfunctioned and was put in Safe Mode, disconnected from the mainframe and network. He was also the only bot who wasn’t corrupted to some degree as a result.
It’s because he was disconnected from the network.
So fast forward to Roxanne…
She’s still suffering from the Glitchtrap Virus when we meet her, but she sort of rebooted when she encountered Cassie, being snapped out of it, but not entirely.
When we meet her a second time, she’s behaving according to the Network directive. Putting on a brave face, welcoming back a guest she fondly remembers and reinforcing that special connection she and Cassie share.
When she was shut down, she was severed from the network, so when she rebooted, it too was in Safe Mode and she had no directives imposed on her save for her own recognizance: Cassie is in danger and must be saved.
Then, summoning strength and will (she IS the best after all) she got out from under the forklift and dove into that hellhole to save her Cassie.
For what I get from the scooper ending is that fasbear entertainment keeps building ON THE SAME DAME PIECE OF LAND
13:09
me trying to communicate to my friend on a walkie talkie that there's a bear with me (i've been yapping about nothing for 13 minutes)
I think the Brazil ending was Helpi trying to comfort Cassie in her final moments.
I’m knew here and have only seen your videos about SB: Ruin but I must say I love that you include the cat in your videos 🥺 they’re so cute
During your recap of the elevator (neutral) ending, i noticed something i didn't before. Ever catch that you see claws continually go to grab Cassie at the end? It doesn't look like metal from inside the elevator cage, but claws. I swear I saw it at around like 6:27. You see it at the floor first and then it keeps trying to grab her til the ending of the fall. At least that's what I'm seeing.
