I really like that you explicitly mention the holes in your theory. Not only does it show your honesty, but it also makes it easier for theorists to jump in and find out new ways to perhaps fix the holes or come up with new ideas.
Hebrews 12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, James 2:24,26 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. John 3:16 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.
Honestly, I feel like we’re trying to piece together a puzzle without all the pieces. Let’s not forget that there will be DLC for this game that might fill holes or even create a whole new theory.
After the livestream it really feels like the DLC is gonna be a prequel or sequel that fills in most of the gaps. It sounded a lot like since the community had SB's story pinned since VR, Steel Wool may have added some cool twists that just weren't fully cooked or ironed out with the canon yet. Based on what's already here, I know there'll always be corners of this story that never tuck in right, but I'm just looking forward to the fully realized thing.
Another thing I just thought of regarding the Gregory is a robot theory (hopefully this hasn't been covered yet): Vanessa's hair is very realistic looking, as if it could be very soft while Gregory's is just sculpted and doesn't have that soft hair texture to it.
I’m pretty sure Mat forgot to mention that in the twisted ones., Charlie is building robot heads that are learning how to speak and one of them says “Why is I”
I dare michael to turn into an 8 year old and rename himself crying child and then wear a striped shirt with blue pants and restyle his hair and then I dare crying child to turn into a 14 year old and restyle his hair and get a tan and then turn into a furry and wear a grey shirt with dark teal pants and change his name to Michael and then I dare then to switch personalities and then souls and then they will be the same person
@@p0pkinn36 I don’t remember exactly, but I believe it’s pretty early story, but then again the quote could all be in my head and I was wrong about it even existing cuz I haven’t read the book in a couple months
I think it's just genius how you connected all of the clues about Patient 46 being Gregory from the most bizarre hints like post-it notes and simple handwriting. It always amazes me how much work and research you put into FNAF theories in general. Despite all the holes you mentioned in the theory, I think it's still a great theory.
@@zachariahjohnson3406 wtf are you taling about this is just him telling what he thinks, most of his comments are actually things you would expect under the videos the reason he is so popular is because everyone seems to see him under every single video they see.
I'm gonna be frank here: I believe that the two contradicting angles may have been done on purpose by the devs, sort of two ways the franchise could go in the future, and which one will be canon and which one will be retconned/turned into a red herring retroactively will depend on which angle gets more traction.
The main reason I watch these isn't for the "OMG THAT'S IT!!!" moments, it's for the thought process and throwing hidden things that others might not find, it also holds deep in stirring up thoughts about possible solutions for others as well. The content made here just reinforces that goal you keep striving to achieve, and you nail the mark everytime.
Mat pat I love your theory keep up the great work 👍 there interesting confusing but they make sense if you keep this work up you'll get loads more subs
I always found it odd that Gregory didn't even respond to the post it room, when he responds to other places when you walk in, when this is by far the most remarkable room
I'm not a fnaf lore expert but when I read that Vanessa was recommended anonymously from someone at the top, my first thought was that it was Afton. At first I thought it had to do with the virus that was in the computer systems, but with the canon ending it could have also been him as burntrap. That kinda patches up the issue Matpat brought up about Gregory being afraid of Vanessa even though he supposedly recommended her. It's because he didn't recommend her at all.
That would make sense, then maybe he was the patient 46 and the reason the therapist thought Gregory was the manipulative deceitful one was because Afton was able to give that therapist false records.
i think youre both right i think afton is controlling gregory thats why gregory is scared of vanessa *and* eliminated the therapists without remembering doing so
MatPat 2014: "Kids were stuffed into animatronics and their bodies were never found also it is based off a real story" MatPat 2022: *"IT'S MUSIC MAN!"*
What if Gregory is an upgraded version of the Lonely Freddys and maybe he was given crying child's backstory or memories to make him more real for kids. It would tie into him attending Cassie's birthday.

Another evidence against Patient 46 being Gregory: Patient 46's female gender was revealed in the international translations of Security Breach, where the therapists speak to her with feminine nouns. In the English version of the game, her gender is never stated.
agreed also Baby probably would see her father in Vanny. If 46 is referred to as she, there's that. 3, where sure Gregory is still figuring himself out then how would he know how to kill, unless the post-its don't cover the point where he remembers how to of course
Matpat in 2015: "today we solve FNaF!" Matpat in 2017: "today we solve FNaF!" Matpat in 2020: "today we solve FNaF!" Matpat in 2022: "today we solve FNaF!"
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Whether or not Scott always had everything planned out, he always made the player think he did. Every game from Scott felt like he knew the full story and you could too if you could just put the pieces of the puzzle together. That was the draw of FNaF. Security Breach is the first game that feels like it's creators didn't have the full story planned out when they made it. As if someone threw clues in the game so the player would be satisfied, but they themselves had no idea what those clues actually meant.
Nah, that doesn't work as a debunk because if the theory is that he's such a proficient hacker than it's certainly possible he'd be able to put himself on the schedules for each therapist or something along those lines.
Since Elizabeth is theorized to be the llc owner now for the pizzaplex, it may make a bit more sense for her to go to the therapy. Also the internal memo for the security guard from someone from hr makes a bit more semse
Gregory being "the hacker" is weird to me, considering he had no idea how to "hack" that console in the beginning, where Freddie is the one that suggested using the Mr Hippo magnet.
he could be acting dumb. i mean after all we have no idea how can he get into Freddy's stomach in the first place. he could be already there, waiting for freddy to go on stage and then disable his program by using his magic hacking skill.
It’s incredible that after all these years, lots of us are still glued to the FNAF lore through all it’s twists and turns. It’s fun to see how complex this lore has gotten and how no one idea seems to be able to explain everything.
I gave up after FNAF 3 in terms of the lore actually being coherent. I got a little interested again with the FNAF 6 but this one has got me lost again lol
Just looking at the game overall, I think major parts of the story were either cut, never finished or a combination of both. It seems like they had an idea of what they wanted to convey for a story but in the end, it's just a jumble of bits and pieces thrown together in a way that's kinda-sorta playable as a game but doesn't make any sense from a story perspective. I don't think there is a way to finish the puzzle because a bunch of important pieces are completely missing.
Real answer, Steel Wool threw stuff at the wall to see what would stick. They tried to incorporate too many Easter eggs from past games. It’s also pretty cannon that Scott leaves hanging questions and then listens to the fans (then chooses one of the popular ones.) All in all, I think eventually there needs to be some closure or at least some consistency / premeditation.
What I understand from this is that there could be more than one Gregory. Three Gregories fits with the theme of the number three. It would also explain why Gregory acts so different everytime we see something related to him. One Gregory could be the therapy patient that goes after the therapists. Another Gregory could be the one that wrote the post it notes. And the third is the one we play as, who just got booted up. This would explain why he doesn’t seem to know the pizzaplex that well and why he can’t just hack the doors open to leave. It’s because he hasn’t learned that much yet. That’s at least the best explanation I can think of for it
yeah kinda whould make sense but remember, Henry's datter? there where 4 of her so wouldn't make sense for 3 Gregories other then more references to 3 Gregories
@@ajeeh7708 maybe each robot malfunctioned in some way. Like therapy Gregory may have been hacked by Afton. Maybe the post is Gregory was in an accident since he lived underground with dangerous stuff around. Having three identical Gregories just means the others had problems and stopped working
Ok we can all agree that we need this. When the storyline is over Scott Cawthon needs to explain the whole lore start to finish so we can actually make sense of this game. WE NEED HELP
I agree, the story of this franchise is getting incredibly frustrating to follow. Thanks for always making these videos and getting us all up to speed.
Dear Matpat, idk if u will notice me, but looking back at ur videos, when u looked into the therapist with Gregory and Vanessa, it really reminded me of a video u did “Game theory: Fnaf security beach, I know the BIG TWIST…I think”. Hope this helps.
I think that honestly when you look at the final product, from the gameplay to the lore, Markiplier hit it on the head. There was two(maybe more) directions that steel wool wanted to develop security breach into. They never were able to come to a compromise which is why it was delayed and buggy. They just needed to release something, even if it wasn’t complete by the lore or gameplay standards.
Here’s a potential theory: out of all the prize boxes in the Pizzaplex, 9 of them contain themed shirts. As the bad ending shows, 9 children have gone missing. Maybe Gregory found their shirts in those prize boxes?
Do they all have different mascots of the fnaf franchise on it?/gen cause that would be a hint at who they would be either possessing, or representing. It's been a thing since fnaf 1. Susie got killed, and she was put in Chica, possessing her. And it would help identify what gender are they, since most of the animatronics with confirmed genders are possed by the same gender. Susie, Jeremy, Fritz, and the rest.
@@piercelindenberg6842 that actually gets me thinking. We all know Cassidy and the Crying Child right? Those two posses one entity. But what if split souls posses multiple? Like how Andrew merged with Aftons soul, but instead of merging, one soul split into two.
@@lampy8231 maybe? It’s an interesting idea, anyway. I thought that Vanny’s victims were put into endoskeletons and then turned into Remnant to resurrect Burntrap.
@@ForeverLaxx easy money? Man either you don't know how long proper research takes, or you're sent by some other channel trying to say "old man matpat out here making baseless claims again!!!"
@@chrisi7127 It's pretty easy to make up information, pretend the game supports it, then leech funds from all the FNAF children. Just because you think it's difficult doesn't mean it is.
18:47 was a bit weirder hearing that as he was standing right infront of the garbage disposal as apart of my strategy for ensuring i could survive not knowing what was about to happen XD
This whole series feels less like a well-planned mystery and more like each installment deliberately leaves some loose threads to be tied up later. It's interesting. The lore is more or less consistent. Whatever doesn't make sense now will be straightened out later. Or at least that's how it's gone.
Well, we are in the new fnaf stage since help wanted so everything now is new, we can't fulfill theories cause we are only in the 3rd game of the new stage
Matpat: "it maybe it was the balloons for someone who can't tell the difference between blue and *purple* Me: or for matpat, who can't tell the difference between pink and purple.
something that always bugged me was cassidy’s connection to the aftons always just being that she was angry for being killed, and i understand why that is a valid connection and all but it never say right with me. i always felt like there was more to her story but never saw anything about it and was not involved enough to do my own research. i’m actually surprised that the thought that maybe cassidy wouldn’t be patient 46 didn’t pop up. the ability to kill off the therapists without a second glance is not out of character (where in my opinion it would be more out of character for gregory/crying child to do that) and the established connection between vanessa and cassidy is already there in the princess quest games. i don’t know i feel like there’s something more to be explored here so mattpat please if you have any thoughts i would love to know! great video btw i’ve been following your fnaf vids since elementary school :)
I was just thinking about this, I’m not sure how well Cassidy could be connected to patient 46 but one thing that’s always bothered me is exactly what you said. Cassidy doesn’t really seem to a have a detailed back story and I feel like maybe this connection could be it. Maybe another robot child was built and Cassidy latched onto it? This theory doesn’t really explain all the notes as well other than maybe the repetition of “three” is still the afton children that Cassidy wants to lure to the pizzaplex, a sort of of obsession? I’m not sure if this would make sense but I would love to see if matpat could connect the dots. I love your videos!!
Ooh and another thing, the text that says "All for me" could be symbolizing Elizabeth when she says did you not make her just for me when regarding Circus Baby
Elizabeth has a history with that line, much like Evan with "you are broken". Remember the final cutscene of Pizzeria Simulator: _"This was a gift, FOR US... All of those little souls, in one place, JUST FOR US..."_
I wouldn't give up on this theory tho. Remember this line we hear from Baby: "The only thing that matters is knowing how to pretend." She could be faking a persona of liking dark basements.
Matt: There's no evidence that Vanny sees herself as a child! Vanny: *swings her arms when she skips around and runs like a toddler when chasing Gregory*
Just throwing this out there, the email Matpat brings up says 3 masks, the first book series (I think) established multiple robots for multiple stages of development of the main character as she was "growing up." There are 3 sets of post-its for 3 stages of development, what if there were 3 versions of Gregory, the first is the one becoming aware, writing the binary, etc. The second one was more human but still more robotic than the final version, the hacker, the one who was patient 46, manipulated Vanessa, got her the job, was a more cold-blooded, mechanical version who could kill the therapists, etc. And the third version is the one we play when the evolving consciousness is transferred into it, the more human version, the one focused on family. Then they are all "Gregory" in a sense, and patient 46 is Gregory, but not really Gregory as it was the previous iteration of him. Would explain the 3 masks being ordered, and reference a scenario of robot 'development' like a human for someone who believes they are human previously introduced in the book series as well, as opposed to the development all taking place in a single robotic body.

Actually, if you ever get to see how Vanny runs/walks around, Vanny walks in avery childish way, skipping around and her arms swinging, and when Vanny jumpscares you, she spins you in a circle. Kind of childish,if you ask me. Also when we first hear Vanny in Help Wanted, she sounds a lot like how Gregory sounds in this game, like a child trying to sound like they're grown. So, it's completely possible that Vanny can be seen in a childish way, so it can make sense that the therapist talks to Patient 46 like a child and Vanny seems to express displeasure with a lot of things a child would like, much how like some kids try to seem cool by not liking those things. So yeah that theory does make a little sense.
That's a big leap. Even if we interpret her animations as childish that doesn't mean a therapist would talk down so much like that. I've meant childlike adults and they know what these words mean. Plus, Vanessa talking never sounds like an adult, she sounds like a reluctant follower. Vanny DEFINITELY doesn't sound like a kid, she sounds like a serial killer. Plus she's fully grown so she would fit in the chair. Big stretch
@@austinbryan6759 the way 46 sat in the chair and acted through some of the tapes fit vannys description. its like mpd. multiple personality disorder. thats why they seem to be way to different. also what vanny did to Freddy will never be forgiven. the way she some how coded almost evrey night robot to "dismantle freddy." 46 not vanny.
Do you think kinda like an age regression thing, she goes into a children like mindset hence the walking and stuff and when if she’s patient 46, when the therapist talks to her she acts like she’s talking to a child, cuz the therapist would know all her mental problems and things or trauma so if the therapist had suggested her to do age regression that probably why they all talk to 46 as a kid, cuz they could be an adult in a child like mindset. Only reason why I’m thinking of this is cuz I’m an age regress or and it just came to mind after reading over your comment.
If William is controlling Vanessa, maybe he made her build Gregory (being he the only person alive who knows how to build an animatronic so human) and, if we think about it, is two options. One, he did it to transfer his conscience to a younger new body, so no one could blame him for the dead, but when Gregory was ready he had his own conscience and run away. Two, William is trying to complete his promise to his dead child ("I will put you back together") and when Gregory waked up, he was scared so run away from William...
Gregory being a robot would explain why there was a hesitation to introduce himself to Freddy. He never had to tell someone who he was. Its a means of dialog he most likely never rehearsed for.
Fun fact supporting mat pats theory that he never actually mentioned for some reason. If you hack the game to give yourself the fazer blaster or faz cam early and shoot Vanessa with it, NOT VANNY, (yes I know they’re the same but to the game files they are different enemies with different behaviors) she will flinch, and start making weird glitchy robotic noises, possibly indicating Vanessa is a robot as well. And theorizing about this as well, this could be why Vanessa only is a threat at one point and only before you get a weapon because if you shot her it’d give it away instantly. Edit: also supporting this a bit, the fazerblaster is said in game to cause irreparable eye damage if a human gets shot in the eye with it. As head of security Vanessa should know this. However when she gets shot, her animation along with the sounds mentioned above, has her rubbing her eyes for a few seconds and then she carries on like nothing happened as if her eyes didn’t just get hit with a powerful laser pointer (let’s be honest that’s what it is lol) only explanation I can think of is her eyes aren’t human js.
If anyone has pointed out this detail before I'd be impressed, but "Gregory" (the name) is based on the Greek word for watchman. So in a way, we are playing as the security guard
@@rqnpoe2724 The masculine first name Gregory derives from the Latin name "Gregorius", which came from the late Greek name "Γρηγόριος" (Grēgórios) meaning "watchful, alert" (derived from Greek "γρηγoρεῖν" "grēgorein" meaning "to watch").
Man I can't believe its been this long already. I remember my friend telling me about FNAF 2 when it first came out in 4th grade and now I graduate high school in just a few months. Man I feel old now
What Matt said: "for those of you who don't know, there are 16 CD's around the map..." What I thought Matt would say: "for those of you who don't know, CD's are what we used to use for music and keeping pictures"
I don't care if the theories are wrong or true, I will always love MatPat's hard work. His theory videos are so interesting and fun to watch. We all can agree that Matt is the king of FNAF theories 👑✨
And that kind of storytelling where they intentionally leave out gaps is a strategy on how they get you the customer to keep coming back for more. It's not longer Scott making the games but rather corporate fingers pulling the strings. By that means, they are more than happy to leave an unfinished product to make some more 🤑
Okeh I solved patient 46 I think …… it’s Cassidy proof : you know how afton has two forms of himself one digital one physical so Cassidy physical: patient 46 digital :princess and also she killed who ever was close to it bcs she wanted to get revenge and no one else should kill the virus before she finally gets revenge GOT IT !
Agreed, it would be like if Stan lee died, the end of the world, possibly would cause a pandemic of some unfamiliar virus because everyone was so confused and depressed. oh wait-
I think patient 46 is the girl from the ruin dlc it sounds kinda crazy but I think it is because in international translations refer to patient 41 as a female
The Gregory being patient 46 could be supported by Chica's line, "Who wants candy?" Chica also says his name when the others don't say it, so her knowing even more about Gregory isn't far-fetched.
You know, I'm surprised that MatPat isn't considering that Vanny used her hacking skills (established in that one part where she hacked the service bots to disassemble Freddy) to fake an "internal reference" from "the top", or whatever, to get Vanessa hired. I mean, it would make enough sense for the Vanny alter to do something to get ahead that Vanessa wouldn't consider
Especially that she was first and foremost a game dev (or at least a beta tester), which could've at least make it easier for her to learn how to hack.
the reason I love game theory is the fact he actually tries to find evidence instead of claiming a theory and just leaving it there. even digging threw the books, the mini games inside the games, cds, finding secrets in the games, looking threw reddit, etc.
23:45 What if one of the characters has multiple personalities? It’s not unlikely that Gregory’s robot body could also hold more than one spirit, as we’ve seen this with Michael and William sharing the golden Freddy plush as you mentioned in one of the previous episodes. Personally, I’m leaning more towards the multiple personality idea. I think the Sun and Moon daycare attendants could be a hint at that.
Omg I’m so glad that you FINALLY talked about the post it room! I couldn’t believe that no one had drawn this connection to Gregory yet. It fits perfectly with the crying child robot theory. It was my immediate thought when I saw this room. Thank you for bringing this to light!
@@colt1903 no they mean the games direction. Ofc hes gonna be attached to fnaf but now steel wool has to confirm any lore not scott because hes loosely involved
The longer this series continues, the more confusing the lore behind it gets. I dunno, everything started to get really weird once Sister location was introduced. (not saying SL is a bad game or has a bad story, but I just prefer the story from the older games when it was much simpler and not "robots pretending to be humans", "disks that make you see things differently" or "robots can somehow revive a corpse through remnant or whatever it was called")
TBH. to me, that just seems to happen with franchises that were probably meant to die off long ago, but the need for more from the community is a temptation the producers couldn't rests; who cares if it's confusing if it makes them a lot of money? Also happens with TV shows you know should have ended ages ago, imo
Personally, I think UCN should have been the ending. It wraps up the story by showing what Afton is doing in hell after Henry and Michael put everyone to rest.
Two things I just realized: 1. Gregory’s initial objective was to hide and get away from Vanessa. Freddy and the player automatically assume that the idea is to get him out of the Pizzaplex, but I don’t think Gregory himself makes the allusion that escape is his plan. He just seems like he’s going along with it. 2. When the doors open, Gregory automatically assumed Freddy can come with him. That might just be because they’ve bonded throughout the story, but it seems weird that Gregory would spend a lot of the game focusing on Freddy’s battery only to forget that there wasn’t an easy way to charge him outside. Unless, of course, he’s actually never been outside. I’m still not sure I like the idea he might be a robot, I’d prefer to think he might be related to Henry Emily’s family, but considering the evidence…
@@dylsdesktop It wouldn’t really make sense, though, not in the game timeline. Sammy was Charlie Emily’s twin in the books and Charlie died in the 1980s, which means that he’d probably be in his 40s if he ever appeared. Now, having Gregory be his son or something like that…
Something that still always gives me chills to this day is what Scott said many years ago. In the fnaf 4 mini game, "Why would the tiny toy Chica be missing her beak?"
I think maybe its because she did the bite of 83, she lost her beak so she could bite your head, because she clearly cant open her beak and had to get rid of it to bite jeremy or whoever the victim of the bite of 83 was.
did you know: there shouldnt actually be any comments or replies that exist there should only be spam scam (spam scam comment with 500 spam scam replies]
I like the idea of the quest jacket. I just wish it was more subtle, with the final patch being maybe the only patch. Like, you can embroider the clues into the fabric, or hide them on the tag
Hear me out, could the one that is “pulling the strings” be mom Afton? We see a Ballora-like service bot at the family table, which is assumed to be mom Afton. If what Matt is saying is true (Micheal=Freddy, CC=Gregory, Vanessa=Elizabeth) then the entire family, except mom, is at the pizza plex. Of course she may be on the Freddy blob but I think it would be a smart way to introduce her character and finally give her pov of the story.
8:38 doubt mat pat will see this but as a quick thought, Crying Child might not blame his brother at all, blue green and red are the colors of his brother's friend's shirts. Crying child doesn't blame Mike... he blames his friends, he blames peer pressure, he blames Golden Freddy, the yellow note
Personally I disagree, as much as I love the brothers I do believe the crying child puts some fault on his brother for him dying. I don’t think he was peer pressured, even when he was alone in his room his brother scared him- Although yeah interesting theory, i think it’s a different approach
Honestly props to matpat for being able to acknowledge the holes in his theories. He could have just disregarded the contradicting evidence but he even admits that his theories have holes. I agree that security breach feels very frustrating because there’s tons of food for thought (or in this case theories for game) but there’s always a piece of evidence to contradict another piece of evidence, making a solid theory in the larger sense near impossible
I just realised the sticky notes remind me of something from somewhere you know the puppet and how there’s picture and text on sticky notes maybe it’s the puppet communication growing mixed with kids text and maybe FNAF 2 used to be down there and also there’s a box with sticky notes on it and also or maybe FNAF 2 scrap and the puppet was nowhere to be seen
I don’t know if you mentioned this but the last words the crying child herd was “1 2 3”, so that also might be why there are a lot of 3s. I think that this is a great theory!
@@stephengeorge8231 He doesn't died after bitten, he died in hospital after several days. Maybe yes, he heard "1 2 3" before bitten and loss consisnous. And the last sentence he heard in hospital is "i will put you back together" if i remember correctly

After the livestream it really feels like the DLC is gonna be a prequel or sequel that fills in most of the gaps. It sounded a lot like since the community had SB's story pinned since VR, Steel Wool may have added some cool twists that just weren't fully cooked or ironed out with the canon yet. Based on what's already here, I know there'll always be corners of this story that never tuck in right, but I'm just looking forward to the fully realized thing.

Yep. Security Breach was highly unnecessary. Or if they wanted to make the game, kickstart a new story without the Aftons.
The main reason I watch these isn't for the "OMG THAT'S IT!!!" moments, it's for the thought process and throwing hidden things that others might not find, it also holds deep in stirring up thoughts about possible solutions for others as well.

…exactly??
I'm not a fnaf lore expert but when I read that Vanessa was recommended anonymously from someone at the top, my first thought was that it was Afton. At first I thought it had to do with the virus that was in the computer systems, but with the canon ending it could have also been him as burntrap. That kinda patches up the issue Matpat brought up about Gregory being afraid of Vanessa even though he supposedly recommended her. It's because he didn't recommend her at all.
That would make sense, then maybe he was the patient 46 and the reason the therapist thought Gregory was the manipulative deceitful one was because Afton was able to give that therapist false records.
i think youre both right
i think afton is controlling gregory
thats why gregory is scared of vanessa *and* eliminated the therapists without remembering doing so

Another evidence against Patient 46 being Gregory: Patient 46's female gender was revealed in the international translations of Security Breach, where the therapists speak to her with feminine nouns. In the English version of the game, her gender is never stated.

@@chris2retro that was patient 71 who was buying the fur, but even still this doesn’t really make sense
agreed also Baby probably would see her father in Vanny. If 46 is referred to as she, there's that. 3, where sure Gregory is still figuring himself out then how would he know how to kill, unless the post-its don't cover the point where he remembers how to of course

Game Theory hasn’t been ruining my childhood since 2011…
It’s been building my childhood.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Whether or not Scott always had everything planned out, he always made the player think he did. Every game from Scott felt like he knew the full story and you could too if you could just put the pieces of the puzzle together. That was the draw of FNaF. Security Breach is the first game that feels like it's creators didn't have the full story planned out when they made it. As if someone threw clues in the game so the player would be satisfied, but they themselves had no idea what those clues actually meant.
Honestly I believe that feeling is what makes these games amazing. Keeps the games interesting.

How to debunk Matpat’s theory: where did Gregory get the money to see so many therapists

@@Mr.Silence. Would a therapist not notice a sudden appointment popping up in their schedule? Are therapists that busy?
@@tlkfanrwbyfan8716 He's a hacker and uses the skill to steal money from bank accounts in small amounts
@@tlkfanrwbyfan8716 considering they're all on the company payroll I'd assume the standard practice is don't ask questions if you don't want trouble.
Since Elizabeth is theorized to be the llc owner now for the pizzaplex, it may make a bit more sense for her to go to the therapy. Also the internal memo for the security guard from someone from hr makes a bit more semse
Gregory being "the hacker" is weird to me, considering he had no idea how to "hack" that console in the beginning, where Freddie is the one that suggested using the Mr Hippo magnet.
he could be acting dumb. i mean after all we have no idea how can he get into Freddy's stomach in the first place. he could be already there, waiting for freddy to go on stage and then disable his program by using his magic hacking skill.

@Mbita Acoustic Guitar i guess you gonna stay begging to the end of days .
I gave up after FNAF 3 in terms of the lore actually being coherent. I got a little interested again with the FNAF 6 but this one has got me lost again lol
Just looking at the game overall, I think major parts of the story were either cut, never finished or a combination of both. It seems like they had an idea of what they wanted to convey for a story but in the end, it's just a jumble of bits and pieces thrown together in a way that's kinda-sorta playable as a game but doesn't make any sense from a story perspective. I don't think there is a way to finish the puzzle because a bunch of important pieces are completely missing.
If we're lucky they'll fix some of it with dlcs
It's like piecing together a 1000 piece puzzle only to realize that some pieces never came with the box from the factory.
@Тhе Gаmе Тhеоrists 🅥 Wow, I sure do love the completely symmetrical, V-shaped, checkmark.
So what your telling me is DLC
You can blame the community rushing them for that.
FNAF has to be one of the most complicated, but loved games in history
Real answer, Steel Wool threw stuff at the wall to see what would stick. They tried to incorporate too many Easter eggs from past games. It’s also pretty cannon that Scott leaves hanging questions and then listens to the fans (then chooses one of the popular ones.) All in all, I think eventually there needs to be some closure or at least some consistency / premeditation.
What I understand from this is that there could be more than one Gregory. Three Gregories fits with the theme of the number three. It would also explain why Gregory acts so different everytime we see something related to him. One Gregory could be the therapy patient that goes after the therapists. Another Gregory could be the one that wrote the post it notes. And the third is the one we play as, who just got booted up. This would explain why he doesn’t seem to know the pizzaplex that well and why he can’t just hack the doors open to leave. It’s because he hasn’t learned that much yet. That’s at least the best explanation I can think of for it

I think that honestly when you look at the final product, from the gameplay to the lore, Markiplier hit it on the head. There was two(maybe more) directions that steel wool wanted to develop security breach into. They never were able to come to a compromise which is why it was delayed and buggy. They just needed to release something, even if it wasn’t complete by the lore or gameplay standards.
That actually makes a lot of sense
Gotta love how Mat doesn’t think it’s just a random kid, rather just instantly goes to the crazy stuff.
To be fair, it’s never been just a random character before.
After watching Mat's latest couple couple theories, I'd say it's far more likely patient #46 is the Elizabeth robot/baby as opposed to Gregory.
I think as of now it’s Gregory right, because of ggy
Here’s a potential theory: out of all the prize boxes in the Pizzaplex, 9 of them contain themed shirts. As the bad ending shows, 9 children have gone missing. Maybe Gregory found their shirts in those prize boxes?
Do they all have different mascots of the fnaf franchise on it?/gen cause that would be a hint at who they would be either possessing, or representing. It's been a thing since fnaf 1. Susie got killed, and she was put in Chica, possessing her. And it would help identify what gender are they, since most of the animatronics with confirmed genders are possed by the same gender. Susie, Jeremy, Fritz, and the rest.
@@lampy8231 Some of the shirts have one character on them, but others have multiple.
@@piercelindenberg6842 that actually gets me thinking. We all know Cassidy and the Crying Child right? Those two posses one entity. But what if split souls posses multiple? Like how Andrew merged with Aftons soul, but instead of merging, one soul split into two.

Just throwing this out there, the email Matpat brings up says 3 masks, the first book series (I think) established multiple robots for multiple stages of development of the main character as she was "growing up." There are 3 sets of post-its for 3 stages of development, what if there were 3 versions of Gregory, the first is the one becoming aware, writing the binary, etc. The second one was more human but still more robotic than the final version, the hacker, the one who was patient 46, manipulated Vanessa, got her the job, was a more cold-blooded, mechanical version who could kill the therapists, etc. And the third version is the one we play when the evolving consciousness is transferred into it, the more human version, the one focused on family. Then they are all "Gregory" in a sense, and patient 46 is Gregory, but not really Gregory as it was the previous iteration of him. Would explain the 3 masks being ordered, and reference a scenario of robot 'development' like a human for someone who believes they are human previously introduced in the book series as well, as opposed to the development all taking place in a single robotic body.

Actually, if you ever get to see how Vanny runs/walks around, Vanny walks in avery childish way, skipping around and her arms swinging, and when Vanny jumpscares you, she spins you in a circle. Kind of childish,if you ask me. Also when we first hear Vanny in Help Wanted, she sounds a lot like how Gregory sounds in this game, like a child trying to sound like they're grown. So, it's completely possible that Vanny can be seen in a childish way, so it can make sense that the therapist talks to Patient 46 like a child and Vanny seems to express displeasure with a lot of things a child would like, much how like some kids try to seem cool by not liking those things. So yeah that theory does make a little sense.
That's a big leap. Even if we interpret her animations as childish that doesn't mean a therapist would talk down so much like that. I've meant childlike adults and they know what these words mean.
Plus, Vanessa talking never sounds like an adult, she sounds like a reluctant follower. Vanny DEFINITELY doesn't sound like a kid, she sounds like a serial killer. Plus she's fully grown so she would fit in the chair.
Big stretch
@@austinbryan6759 the way 46 sat in the chair and acted through some of the tapes fit vannys description. its like mpd. multiple personality disorder. thats why they seem to be way to different. also what vanny did to Freddy will never be forgiven. the way she some how coded almost evrey night robot to "dismantle freddy." 46 not vanny.
glitch trap is also goofy like that so we can actually interpret that as vanny being controlled by afton
Do you think kinda like an age regression thing, she goes into a children like mindset hence the walking and stuff and when if she’s patient 46, when the therapist talks to her she acts like she’s talking to a child, cuz the therapist would know all her mental problems and things or trauma so if the therapist had suggested her to do age regression that probably why they all talk to 46 as a kid, cuz they could be an adult in a child like mindset. Only reason why I’m thinking of this is cuz I’m an age regress or and it just came to mind after reading over your comment.
@@luka._.raccoon That's completely possible! I really like that idea :)
If William is controlling Vanessa, maybe he made her build Gregory (being he the only person alive who knows how to build an animatronic so human) and, if we think about it, is two options.
One, he did it to transfer his conscience to a younger new body, so no one could blame him for the dead, but when Gregory was ready he had his own conscience and run away.
Two, William is trying to complete his promise to his dead child ("I will put you back together") and when Gregory waked up, he was scared so run away from William...
Gregory being a robot would explain why there was a hesitation to introduce himself to Freddy. He never had to tell someone who he was. Its a means of dialog he most likely never rehearsed for.
he was also being hunted by Vanessa
I mean hes a kid in a scary situation, so it makes sense he'd be nervous
Fun fact supporting mat pats theory that he never actually mentioned for some reason. If you hack the game to give yourself the fazer blaster or faz cam early and shoot Vanessa with it, NOT VANNY, (yes I know they’re the same but to the game files they are different enemies with different behaviors) she will flinch, and start making weird glitchy robotic noises, possibly indicating Vanessa is a robot as well. And theorizing about this as well, this could be why Vanessa only is a threat at one point and only before you get a weapon because if you shot her it’d give it away instantly. Edit: also supporting this a bit, the fazerblaster is said in game to cause irreparable eye damage if a human gets shot in the eye with it. As head of security Vanessa should know this. However when she gets shot, her animation along with the sounds mentioned above, has her rubbing her eyes for a few seconds and then she carries on like nothing happened as if her eyes didn’t just get hit with a powerful laser pointer (let’s be honest that’s what it is lol) only explanation I can think of is her eyes aren’t human js.
@@littlemau1360 yeah but he wasnt nervous talking to freddy
@@shelbs8015 He was nervous of being found by Vanny. Gregory even begs Freddy to be quiet. He's very obviously nervous
If anyone has pointed out this detail before I'd be impressed, but "Gregory" (the name) is based on the Greek word for watchman. So in a way, we are playing as the security guard
Wait wait wait. Golden freddy plush watches crying child a lot. that is so interesting.
@@sansgaming7607 thats a stretch
@@perfecpair maybe but whatever lore gets popularly accepted may just be retconned in.
no it doesn't?? what do you think the greek word for watchman is? because the closest word that comes to the greek name for gregory is fast
@@rqnpoe2724 The masculine first name Gregory derives from the Latin name "Gregorius", which came from the late Greek name "Γρηγόριος" (Grēgórios) meaning "watchful, alert" (derived from Greek "γρηγoρεῖν" "grēgorein" meaning "to watch").
Man I can't believe its been this long already. I remember my friend telling me about FNAF 2 when it first came out in 4th grade and now I graduate high school in just a few months. Man I feel old now
ua-cam.com/video/L0G9WRRWIuM/v-deo.html.
They all came out in my senior year and we'd discuss them every morning in 1st block. Now I feel even older D:
EXACTLY THE SAME THING HERE! My friend introduced me to FNAF in 3rd grade and now i’m abt to graduate high school
:(
What Matt said: "for those of you who don't know, there are 16 CD's around the map..."
What I thought Matt would say: "for those of you who don't know, CD's are what we used to use for music and keeping pictures"
I don't care if the theories are wrong or true, I will always love MatPat's hard work. His theory videos are so interesting and fun to watch. We all can agree that Matt is the king of FNAF theories 👑✨
Yessssssssss
*I can't believe Matpat hearted my comment. This is the best day of my entire life* 😭❤🌸
Well bots are at it again...
^^
@michael getachew Literally wth 😭💀
This lore is so complicated, that after it's finally finished, we should get a book that summarizes everything. We have to make that happen.
And that kind of storytelling where they intentionally leave out gaps is a strategy on how they get you the customer to keep coming back for more. It's not longer Scott making the games but rather corporate fingers pulling the strings. By that means, they are more than happy to leave an unfinished product to make some more 🤑
Scribe to pewdiepie
Okeh I solved patient 46 I think …… it’s Cassidy proof : you know how afton has two forms of himself one digital one physical so Cassidy physical: patient 46 digital :princess and also she killed who ever was close to it bcs she wanted to get revenge and no one else should kill the virus before she finally gets revenge GOT IT !
@@sanathequeen3285 but how did she get to therapy in the first place if she’s stuck with Afton in the pizzaplex
That would be bigger than 10 bibles
Imagine when matpat actually finishes fnaf lore Everyone would be happy untill theres no more episodes on it
Huh…. You’re right… darn that’s gonna be sad..
Lol exactly 😀
Knock offs???
It'd be like, "wait, that's it? That's actually it? We-we're done here? Huh..."
Agreed, it would be like if Stan lee died, the end of the world, possibly would cause a pandemic of some unfamiliar virus because everyone was so confused and depressed.
oh wait-
I think patient 46 is the girl from the ruin dlc it sounds kinda crazy but I think it is because in international translations refer to patient 41 as a female
The Gregory being patient 46 could be supported by Chica's line, "Who wants candy?" Chica also says his name when the others don't say it, so her knowing even more about Gregory isn't far-fetched.
Yes
now that I think about it, you’re right
but what about vannesa?
I Might as well think patient 46 is vannessa but in vanny controlled form.
Bc They are oppisite, of eachother.
You know, I'm surprised that MatPat isn't considering that Vanny used her hacking skills (established in that one part where she hacked the service bots to disassemble Freddy) to fake an "internal reference" from "the top", or whatever, to get Vanessa hired.
I mean, it would make enough sense for the Vanny alter to do something to get ahead that Vanessa wouldn't consider
Especially that she was first and foremost a game dev (or at least a beta tester), which could've at least make it easier for her to learn how to hack.
cause vanny and vanessa are the same person?
Also how do we know that whoever wrote the sticky notes was even Gregory it could easily just have been a janitor bot
I mean it would make enough sense for the Vinny alert to do something to get a head that Vanessa would would want to consider
Gregory it could easily just have been a janitor bot
the reason I love game theory is the fact he actually tries to find evidence instead of claiming a theory and just leaving it there. even digging threw the books, the mini games inside the games, cds, finding secrets in the games, looking threw reddit, etc.
We call that dedication and determination.
through*
23:45 What if one of the characters has multiple personalities?
It’s not unlikely that Gregory’s robot body could also hold more than one spirit, as we’ve seen this with Michael and William sharing the golden Freddy plush as you mentioned in one of the previous episodes.
Personally, I’m leaning more towards the multiple personality idea. I think the Sun and Moon daycare attendants could be a hint at that.
Omg I’m so glad that you FINALLY talked about the post it room! I couldn’t believe that no one had drawn this connection to Gregory yet. It fits perfectly with the crying child robot theory. It was my immediate thought when I saw this room. Thank you for bringing this to light!
Unless Scott says it is the crying child I will still say it's farfetched.
After all remember all the memes by the rest of the FNAF fans over this?
@@valor1omega Scott isn't part of fnaf anymore
@@pumpkin_pants3828 Scott will always be part of FNAF, even after he dies.
There's no escaping it's animatronic grabby hands.
I SERIOUSLY doubt Gregory is the crying child. They don't act the same.
@@colt1903 no they mean the games direction. Ofc hes gonna be attached to fnaf but now steel wool has to confirm any lore not scott because hes loosely involved
Actually, Map Bot is the REAL mastermind of the entire FNAF franchise
What no this cant be! MAP BOT! I GET IT NOW I KNOW THE TRUTH MAP BOT KILLED THE CHILDREN SET UP WILLIAM AND BROUGHT VANNY HERE! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?
“Map, map, plz take a map” is the most important dialogue ever
@@vyomsahasrabuddhe2591 Yes it is
Map, map, map. If you say it fast enough it sounds like Matt, Map Bot is Matt!
I see we have an astralspiff fan here
The longer this series continues, the more confusing the lore behind it gets. I dunno, everything started to get really weird once Sister location was introduced. (not saying SL is a bad game or has a bad story, but I just prefer the story from the older games when it was much simpler and not "robots pretending to be humans", "disks that make you see things differently" or "robots can somehow revive a corpse through remnant or whatever it was called")
FAZGOO
TBH. to me, that just seems to happen with franchises that were probably meant to die off long ago, but the need for more from the community is a temptation the producers couldn't rests; who cares if it's confusing if it makes them a lot of money? Also happens with TV shows you know should have ended ages ago, imo
Personally, I think UCN should have been the ending. It wraps up the story by showing what Afton is doing in hell after Henry and Michael put everyone to rest.
Idk I feel like this game just tried to do way too much at once. And the story suffered as a result
@@ilycea Exactly, ffps and ucn were the perfect end for the franchise
you were right omg 😭
Two things I just realized:
1. Gregory’s initial objective was to hide and get away from Vanessa. Freddy and the player automatically assume that the idea is to get him out of the Pizzaplex, but I don’t think Gregory himself makes the allusion that escape is his plan. He just seems like he’s going along with it.
2. When the doors open, Gregory automatically assumed Freddy can come with him. That might just be because they’ve bonded throughout the story, but it seems weird that Gregory would spend a lot of the game focusing on Freddy’s battery only to forget that there wasn’t an easy way to charge him outside.
Unless, of course, he’s actually never been outside. I’m still not sure I like the idea he might be a robot, I’d prefer to think he might be related to Henry Emily’s family, but considering the evidence…
Oh my god, what if he’s Sammy Emily, y’know, the same Sammy from the books that Mat wrote off as not being an actual character
ua-cam.com/video/wPvMNzTwjC4/v-deo.html
@@dylsdesktop It wouldn’t really make sense, though, not in the game timeline. Sammy was Charlie Emily’s twin in the books and Charlie died in the 1980s, which means that he’d probably be in his 40s if he ever appeared. Now, having Gregory be his son or something like that…
@@justin2308hmmmm…
Something that still always gives me chills to this day is what Scott said many years ago. In the fnaf 4 mini game, "Why would the tiny toy Chica be missing her beak?"
@Draw line animation ratio
WAIT A MINUTE
AYOOOOOOOOO THATS SUS
I think maybe its because she did the bite of 83, she lost her beak so she could bite your head, because she clearly cant open her beak and had to get rid of it to bite jeremy or whoever the victim of the bite of 83 was.
did you know: there shouldnt actually be any comments or replies that exist
there should only be spam scam (spam scam comment with 500 spam scam replies]

I Like the idea
Not the price 💀
POV the mimic appearing as “a new character”:
Matpat: 😱😱😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😨😨😨🤯🤯🤯🤯😲😲😲😲🙊🙊🙊
Hear me out, could the one that is “pulling the strings” be mom Afton? We see a Ballora-like service bot at the family table, which is assumed to be mom Afton. If what Matt is saying is true (Micheal=Freddy, CC=Gregory, Vanessa=Elizabeth) then the entire family, except mom, is at the pizza plex. Of course she may be on the Freddy blob but I think it would be a smart way to introduce her character and finally give her pov of the story.
ua-cam.com/video/L0G9WRRWIuM/v-deo.html.
That would be awesome and I'd love to see it happen.
definitely an option
It isn't mom Afton it's Clara Afton.
Research everyday
8:38 doubt mat pat will see this but as a quick thought, Crying Child might not blame his brother at all, blue green and red are the colors of his brother's friend's shirts. Crying child doesn't blame Mike... he blames his friends, he blames peer pressure, he blames Golden Freddy, the yellow note
That would actually makes a lot of sense
that's fracking sad
Personally I disagree, as much as I love the brothers I do believe the crying child puts some fault on his brother for him dying. I don’t think he was peer pressured, even when he was alone in his room his brother scared him-
Although yeah interesting theory, i think it’s a different approach
Agreed. Crying Child always seems more so scared and confused than angry.
why would he blame golden Freddy I don't understand
Honestly props to matpat for being able to acknowledge the holes in his theories. He could have just disregarded the contradicting evidence but he even admits that his theories have holes. I agree that security breach feels very frustrating because there’s tons of food for thought (or in this case theories for game) but there’s always a piece of evidence to contradict another piece of evidence, making a solid theory in the larger sense near impossible
He learned from his Hollow Knight theory.
I just realised the sticky notes remind me of something from somewhere you know the puppet and how there’s picture and text on sticky notes maybe it’s the puppet communication growing mixed with kids text and maybe FNAF 2 used to be down there and also there’s a box with sticky notes on it and also or maybe FNAF 2 scrap and the puppet was nowhere to be seen
I don’t know if you mentioned this but the last words the crying child herd was “1 2 3”, so that also might be why there are a lot of 3s.
I think that this is a great theory!
the last words he heard were “I will put you back together”
@@am_lol101 The last thing he heard was “1 2 3” before he died. He was dead when he heard that
@@stephengeorge8231 He doesn't died after bitten, he died in hospital after several days. Maybe yes, he heard "1 2 3" before bitten and loss consisnous. And the last sentence he heard in hospital is "i will put you back together" if i remember correctly
@@MyName-pn6td yeah I think your right. I was close tho 🤔
@@MyName-pn6td I’d argue he never heard I will put you back together. Was psychic friend fredbear real? I don’t think so so he didn’t hear it as a sound, maybe in a coma but ifk
Don't you think it's weird how Gregory hesitated to tell Freddy his name? He responded to Freddy like he made it up on the spot.
I did watch a theory video where he brought up this moment but he didn’t specify if it’s the only instance where the MC stutters... by chance do you know if that’s the case? I haven’t played the game yet.
Made up on the spot, or taken from someone else...?
Or maybe he was just unsure if he can trust Freddy.
I think chicken man has a point, all the other robots try to get him so he doesn’t know if he can trust Freddy
like the shrek thing
