“The only human employee LEFT” is the line that convinced me it’s a Security Breach prequel that involves/shows/takes place with Vanny’s infiltration and takeover of the Pizzaplex and that we very possibly will be playing as Cassie’s dad or even Luis

[@derrickdaniels3955]

Luis is in the IT department which like Computers I think. Plus with the presence of the Faz wrench panel in the Help Wanted 2 teaser in the elevator as well Cassie mentioning him in Ruin its safe to he'll be our protagonist.

I’m pretty sure Help Wanted 2 is just a VR simulation made by Fazbear Entertainment to train employees. This would explain why Handunit is talking about the different employment opportunities that each minigame is based on.

Also qould make sense that they do it this way (given that there is definitely someone up in management that wants the aftonvirus to spread/be free or something), more subjects to infect through VR.

[@abbie_joan]

yeah maybe in story it's a training game that was created specially for the only human employee left to give them some form of base-level education on what their job entails

[@Flugel_Halogen]

The Ballora bit looks almost exactly like the fnaf escape room fan game level where you have to put Baby's limbs back on and un corrupt her system or something like that. You have to keep Freddy asleep with Bonnie's sound ques, and you have to shock Ballora when she crab walks up to the left and right doors. If you go look at it you'll understand what I'm talking about

[@purrpletiger2159]

in the HW2 trailer that's the sister location secret room, the one when you take a left instead of a right when Baby says to in the game... you're talking about the fnaf game The Glitched Attraction and yeah the ballora animation really reminds me of it xD

[@bobguy349]

you literally just had to say the glitched attraction....

[@bigpoggers6507]

Small issues: First, the indie dev didn’t finish anything past 3, 4-modern is real. Second, Pizzeria Sim WAS open to the public, that is what the Tycoon section is, in fact animatronics can actively sneak into the building via hiding in things you order, meaning the dev could’ve easily seen Scrap Baby hiding

[@Da_Lux_Games]

I have a theory about the endoskeleton section! Notice how the cards have a happy kid and a birthday cake, if you loop back around to security breach with the whole endoskeleton system. There’s a bunch of doors showing the do’s and don’t’s for what the Endos should do. For example, giving a child a birthday cake. So I believe this mini game, we are trying to train the endo to be “well behaved” and not a murder machine. I haven’t read the tales of the pizzaplex books so if there’s any connection to that, let me know!

[@VanNessy97]

Oh my gosh and then Vanny's the one messing it all up by intentionally inputting bad data to make the robots more murderous

[@LukiKruki]

You missed the Afton family room with drawings

[@Da_Lux_Games]

@@VanNessy97 that’s a good theory! Didn’t think of that honestly!

[@Sourayan_Roy]

I have something to tell about the Foxy Log Ride. In Ruin dlc when we enter Foxy's Log Ride attraction we cannot wear the mask, so just imagine if we are able to put on the mask we could actually see the log ride attraction in proper condition, because if we pause the game in that attraction, then in the bottom left corner we could see a description " THEY NEVER DID FINISH THE FOXY LOG RIDE. SAFETY CONCERNS " yet when we collect the AR Foxy Plush the description says " THAT LOG RIDE WAS SO MUCH FUN " which means that the log ride was built in AR WORLD not in the real world and Cassie's dad used Cassie to run a test ride, that's why she remembers about the Log Ride. So, finally we are going to experience Foxy Log Ride in HELP WANTED 2

[@angel_dude2.049]

thats a pretty cool theory

[@causticscarab4155]

If your idea of Vanny coaxing Gregory over to Glitchtrap really happens, I would LOVE if Vanny does the same gimmick as Glitchtrap hiding in the corner of the pizzeria in HW1. Standing in the dark corner, waving from the shadows, slowly approaching as the game progresses. Hell maybe we could even get the scene from the security breach trailer that got scrapped, with Vanny saying “it was just a glitch… your friends are worried Gregory. They’re with me” to lure him out.

[@ephraimboateng5239]

That would be awesome

[@irysgundam0052]

Not gonna lie, that would be pretty rad.

[@midis_touch]

Shot in the Dark: We are playing as Vanny being induced and getting rid of the other employees. Shes on mightmare gas the entire game while learning the history of freddys through these games. the Helpi section could very well be an employee shes killing but the visage of the gas makes her see Helpi and the ads on the tv (being the heart rate monitor/remnant tracker?). The popcorn is a subtle influence on her to see the foaming mouth on the suffering employee shes cutting as that FAZBEAR product.

[@Impo_TheNovaTar]

SL and SB seem to have a sort of connection to each other, because they are the two strongest themes in these teasers. But that's just a mini theory. Another (semi)mini theory is that nightmare gas could be what's bringing SL back to life, it possibly creating visual and auditory hallucinations surrounding the disassembled mascot husks in the scooping room. Maybe nightmare gas is being extracted and experimented on by whoever is running the Pizzaplex, and that's also why Scrap Baby makes an appearance. Another shell in the basement's basement for the gas to trick us into thinking is coming back to life.

[@shashummga3477]

I *really* hope they nail the horror aspect, because from the sound of it, it's giving 2010 wii shovelware vibes. VR1 was really solid because it was fucking terrifying

[@Monkeybeam]

I think they can do good with the horror, almost all of the categories arent really well lit so it adds a lot of opportunities of demons coming from the dark

[@purrpletiger2159]

if you pay attention to the endo matching game, there's more endos inching closer in the darkness... I think the minigames might not be quite spooky, but the sister location secret room footage we see, and other recreations of the original gameplay seem pretty creepy at least

[@BlackWind-rx5il]

There's one thing that I've actually always wondered: could it be that the games made by the indy dev that are supposed to be canon in universe are not the entire games we've played before getting into FNAF Help Wanted, but only the FNAF minigames for each game? After all that's exactly what they are, games inside our games. Connected yet disconnected from the main game. Could it be that the main gameplay is what happened and the minigames are what Help Wanted refers to? After all, most of the children's death, possessions, crimes in general are shown in the minigames.

[@alpacalover0]

If anything the opposite would make more sense. FNAF 1-3 in Help Wanted have no minigames or context and are just devoid of Easter eggs or secrets. They, like the FNAF games themselves, seemingly are just covering up the big events and parodying the night shift experiences instead which themselves are not super confidential information. Possibly the night guard names being different from Michael Afton's in the original FNAF games is a product of this fabrication to conceal info.

[@Lucas_Vanes]

My personal help wanted 2 theory: I think it’s a game made to teach employees how to work in the mega pizza plex but after faz bear decided to tern it into a vr game by adding sister location and fnaf 6 stuff to wich the mimic into when it when it was scanned in. The mimic saw the scooper wich is the only item In the entire franchise were an Anamatronics possed a humans wich the mimic wanted to well mimic with possessing Vanessa but before he could faz bear realised and shut the game down. Later when help wanted 1 came out he did his plan and possed vannesa

[@Fistrike]

My theory is that help wanted 2 is like those AR/VR booths from the books like Drowning, where instead of seeing the pizzaplex you see things low "what foxy's logfloon is going to look like" "here's what a pizzaplex staff life is like" that turns to bad because the person playing starts getting pursued by animatronics, but it turns out they are already dead. It happened too much in the books for it to be a book only idea

[@The12thCrashmaster]

A small theory I have is if Help Wanted 2 isn't entirely an in universe game, maybe there are new Funtime animatronics/endoskeletons. From the first trailer, we see Ballora's jumpscare, and she has blue eyes, unlike purple in the original game. Maybe some other or new employees brought or made new endos and used the shells that were left over after the events of Sister Location. If this game isn’t an in universe game 100%, that would explain why the SL animatronics are back again. Then again, if might just be a recreation like HW 1 since Scrap Baby and custom night are in this trailer.

[@XSharppyX]

Theory, the game isn't a game, well at least the part where you put a gas mask on Helpie, the gas makes the player think its Helpie but its actually a kid, and this whole game will be more dark than we think. Helpie even shakes from the gas, something a robot wouldnt do since its a "robot".

[@Flugel_Halogen]

My guess is that we'll be playing as multiple people, Vanessa or Cassie's dad for staff only, and Cassie for parts like doing makeup with Roxanne, maybe the memory card game, and the foxy cowboy game

[@Rabbit_lady]

I really hope we're playing as Vanessa in at least one game, It would make up for her time in security breach.... Also hope we get To play as Cassie in One game.

[@Cysubtor_8vb]

Maybe it's half VR game and half "reality" with Vanessa playing the games and Vanny carrying out Glitchtrap's plan. That would explain the Sister Location and FNAF6 era animatronics being included along side Security Breach era. Similarly, it could possibly be Vanny wearing the VANNI mask and those older animatronics are augmented reality to further instill Elizabeth's past into Vanessa.

[@Momo_Minomo]

Not gonna lie, that "helping Helpy" minigame has me wondering if the VR headset/mask we're wearing is making us THINK we're working on Helpy when it's really a human person (after all, robots don't feel pain and scream if you saw off a limb). If that's Vanessa that might be what happened to those kids that went missing from the Pizzaplex before Gregory got locked in. That would fit what we've seen the Vanny mask do in Ruin.

[@AJ_prod]

THEORY: Some people have been saying that we play as Cassies dad in fnaf vr 2, what if the sl section is that one technician mentioned in the original sl game that is in physical recovery, therefore he could've been there, with the fazwrench, (the fazwrench slots were shown in the first hw 2 trailer in the sl elevator), he worked at the pizza sim location, as the first guy (after the give pizza minigame we encounter scrap baby and she gets in, but only for that section) therefore we only see scrap baby, he prolly got fired for not salvaging everyone or bankruptcy, then was one of the remaining people working at the pizza plex, cassie knows ab his dad's work, and how she acknowledges the fazwrench like the one her dad has. I honestly like this thought and idk I think it'd be a really good way to connect it all.

[@jackogaming121]

I’m really scared if they add in the night 4 springlock suit in sister location. I could barely beat it in sister location. I feel like it would be terrifying stuck in the suit and having to rush to do all of it. Maybe if you are moving too fast the springlocks will fail and you actually see them failing. Idk sees really cool and scary

[@NayanBeardy]

The lack of sedatives is odd, especially since i believe the mask says "Calming Gas" on it, which is more that a little suspect. Love the thumbnail btw.

[@Pierrue]

If it does say that on the mask (didn’t see that written there) then it’s probably there in a sinister way to make the player think it’s just harmless, helpful gas when it’s really not

[@MrVreyes20]

Seeing Scrapbaby there makes me worry that Fuhnaf's "Baby is the big bad" theory is more correct than most of us want it to be. Best case scenario this game is a prequel to Security Breach and BABY survived Pizzariea Simulator but is destroyed before Security Breach

[@caterpilllllar]

Thank you, as someone new to the franchise your videos have been great, you're very good at explaining things and the structure and editing is so well done! I thought I should mention though that I found the music in the back of this video a bit distracting, but that might just be a me thing so take that feedback with a grain of salt of course !

[@RyeToast]

Me too!!

[@GJames-Legend101]

Here’s how I think the whole Vanessa and vanny thing should have been handled, I think vanny should have been more like glitchtrap (a digital ghost in the machine), while her physical form is the vanni mask but her digital form is like glitchtrap and mxes, but in order to actually interact with the real world she needs to possess of host body (via Vanessa) so she uses the vanni mask to possess Vanessa’s body and mind, but she can’t fully take over so she’s only able to be in control for 1 hour a day, I imagine that vanni would be made to specifically be Vanessa’s polar opposite, basically I imagine that vanny would resent and be envious of Vanessa and so she would want to ruin her life and steal her identity, and the only way to save Vanessa is the destroy the mask so in this way that would make Vanessa and vanny 2 separate people while sharing the same body, this idea was inspired by majora’s mask from legend of Zelda majora’s mask, the mask from crash bandicoot, carnage from venom, and common ghost possession.

[@SpookyTanukiGaming]

What if it’s not Helpy but a child (perhaps Gregory) and the Vanny mask makes it look like Helpy.

[@Gaterman]

The trailer says this is our first day and that we're a new employee which doesn't make sense if we're Vanessa but also doesn't make sense if there are no human staff left as why a new hire. However if this is a VR experience specifically a training for new employees before they actually work at the Pizzaplex this all makes sense. You could be playing this anywhere in the timeline including after there are no employees well also being the new hire as you may not really be a employee but listing to a old program. This also would explain anything unexplainable like how both the Funtimes and Scrapbaby could exist alongside the Blob (Tangle), or using the Foxy log ride but it was never opened at the Pizzaplex, or the Helpy section makes sense as you're training on him instead of a real person as why/how else would he feel pain or need anesthetic or have rabies. The horror sections also makes sense as it could be either danger training to prepare someone for anything or corruption of the program by Glitchtrap. All in all it seems to make more sense that this is a VR experience rather than the real world, and with that we could be playing as anyone at anytime from Cassie's dad to Vanessa to maybe even Gregory before Security Breach or after Ruin. (BTW if we see anything of Ruin that would confirm this is VR as we've now seen the Pizzaplex still operating in multiple mini games).

[@dreacranford]

I think this is likely true, especially the point about this being an employee's first day. If it is a VR experience, it could just as easily be happening during the day for a daytime employee and only appears to be at night because it's a VR game. There's no reason they couldn't still be hiring new daytime employees even after the all-staff meeting. But it doesn't necessarily have to be for a daytime employee. The Pink Slip note in Security Breach says that "we will no longer need nighttime coverage. We will be reducing nighttime hours effective immediately." I take "coverage" in the first sentence to mean completely staffed. The pizzaplex no longer needs a full night staff. The second sentence mentioned nighttime hours would be reduced, not eliminated. It's possible that they would have a skeleton crew come in, possibly a technician to calibrate the animatronics and games while the place is closed plus the night guard (Vanessa) for security. That's why, I would still bet on this being Cassie's dad over Vanessa.

[@Gaterman]

@@dreacranfordWhat I had ment is the statements "the new hire" and "no humans left" together don't make sense unless it's VR. If all humans were gone why would Glitchtrap allow a new hire to potentially ruin his plans, and with Vanessa being there plus the implication there is still some staff then the statement "no humans left" should be false, but if it's VR then it all make sense as it's just a program which would think anyone is an new employee well also making sense why you wouldn't see people. I'm pretty sure the "all staff meeting" was the way of getting rid of any of the employees that couldn't be taken care of in a legal way or raising suspicions like all the technicians and remaining night crew who would get in the way, I imagine only people who worked in the day were left. Something to note is Cassie and her dad seem to have been with the Pizzaplex for some time so him only showing up near its end doesn't make sense, it makes more sense for him to be among the "all staff meeting" then to be hired after which is close to the events of Security Breach. With it being a VR game I think it's possible it can be literally anyone at any time, it could be Vanessa just being tortured more in VR or maybe it's how Gregory is got or Cassie's dad actually being hired years ago or someone else.

[@Faillord1]

I had an Idea about Help Wanted 1 and I think it fits here too, maybe it gives a different perspective on things: What if we play as Gregory in FNAF Help Wanted? So Vanessa got taken over by the glitchtrap virus, she creates the tapes for players to find and collect, to get players to get "glitchtrapped" too (like a gaming mechanic to entice players) and the one who does it and gets taken over is Gregory. His parents feel like something's off, so they send him to therapy. In control, Glitchtrap makes him kill the therapists who get too close to the truth and one day, after the Pizzaplex finished being built, Gregory goes there and never leaves. Until he finds a way to disconnect himself from the Virus (maybe with help from Charlie and the Baloon Boy Arcade). Glitchtrap and Vanny search for him and they try using the other animatronics. When Freddy sees Gregory, he senses something is different, since Gregory isn't possessed anymore and maybe has the protection of Charlie on him (If she is even involved anymore), wich doesn't compute with the Virus so he short circiuts, gets set into safe mode and here we are at the beginning of Security breach! Just some thoughts though, but maybe this is a somewhat new take and I think it kinda makes sense. But Help Wanted 2 might throw away everything I just wrote xD Great Video by the way, I really enjoy your content, much love

[@zAch90ed]

Thats not really true. Because 1, we see in Help Wanted, when we put on the Vanny mask, a women is talking to someone (glitchtrap). Implying it’s US talking, aka Vanessa (since she’s Vanny). And also, tape girl being Vanessa doesn’t make sense since she doesn’t want the player to collect the tapes at the start. So, she can’t be Vanessa. It’s confirmed by the game itself that it is Vanessa. There’s nobody else it could be.

[@Faillord1]

@@zAch90ed it was Just an Idea I had, never Said it was "true". Sometimes Just tossing around Ideas can give a different perspective. I know it doesn't completely makes sense but we have seen more outlandish theories in this Community haven't we? :D

Another explanation for how SL animtronics and Scrap Baby are there: The Special Delivery service. FE literally remade all these animtronics, and since CBEAR was a very similar concept to Special Delivery, the SL bunker might've just been its base of operations

[@frenchfries2998]

I really like your interpretation but like you said the only problem is. That would mean molten Freddy and scrap baby both survived the fnaf 6 fire(which honestly is possible since springtrap did) AND that the Funtime all split up and went back to sister location to rebuild themselves like what baby did when she was kicked out. That’s the only way I can see this being real.(im 100% down for more scrap baby though so I won’t completely hate this. Since baby was so underutilized after she seemed like the new big bad)

Counter argument for 3rd possibility, what if it is a vr game, and the sl and ffps games are made up, but contain mistakes. We wernt fixing helpy in that vent corridor, we were faking tasks to trick animatronics. Maybe this shows that when they made the vr game, they didnt find the fnaf 6 and sl areas, but when this new vr game came out, they found scrap baby and funtime freddy. This along with glitchtrap's apperence means that glitchy boi here cant be william, because this new fazbear didnt have scraptrap to scan into the system.

I honestly like the idea of the Mimic using the left over Funtime shells to imitate them. Especially if the theory of Mimic being the original Baby Endoskeleton is true. I believe it was Fuhnuffs theory? If that's the case it could be a good call back and show us why and how the Sister Location bunker is connected to FNAF 6 and the Pizzaplex. And Baby (or in this case the Mimic) would be more of Afton's meddling. He is still the cause of all issues long after he's dead. Even if he doesn't come back personally his influence does. Scrap Baby would in this case be Elizabeth entirely (as it seems) and could have surived maybe? Though rather odd there's no burn damage. I'm very curious to what will happen.

I can't quite say where this would go on the timeline, even though you helped point out some hints.

ngl, i think that glitchtrap was a mimic who started mimicing the murders of william afton and when help wanted 1 was getting created (in the fnaf universe) that programming was uploaded into the game seperating that programming, hell. The mimic seen is security breech could of been the seperated body from glitchtrap, maybe glitchtrap's program in general could of been seperated leaving an extremely violent robot trapped under the pizzaplex.

[@lol-space]

I think that the security breach segments are not a In universe VR game but the sister location segments are

[@Aku-hl4mm]

At 5:07, pretty sure that's the Captain's Quarters in a pirate ship.

[@LunaWitcherArt]

The ending level of HW1 was THE most bone-chilling thing this franchise has ever done. I hope HW2 can live up to that.

[@preludiosychistesmalos1795]

the FNAF 6 location IS open to the public... there's lawsuits made by customers and it literally focuses on building a good pizzeria so you get more money from customers

[@WilliamHasMelted]

Hear me out, they are retraining you for the opening of the Pizzaplex and the Sister location section could be a VR attraction at The Plex that you are testing abd never opened

[@ribbon_dye]

I feel like one thing thats not talked about enough is the idea that technically our exposure to the original games could mean that the foundation the theories are built on is all fictional in the in world context. Essentially, all theories for the original games are built on an unreliable narrator, so we shouldn't assume that we know events as well as we do.

[@CrownedVanguard]

I’m curious of something. Didn’t the original trailer say “Welcome back to *”another week”* yet now this is saying it’s our first day. Could the FFPS game play take place BEFORE SL? 🤔

[@DJSymphonie]

Think there is a good chance that the elevator cutscene is actually the beginning of one of the sister location levels

[@PandoricaLost]

Actually, Foxy's office/lobby looks like the captain's quarters on a ship and not really western at all.

[@pariipriyu2100]

10:17 "I can't wait to see how big dj music man feels in VR"

[@blue-xxxxx-xxx]

🤨🤨🤨

[@Mehyilxdxd]

Sus

[@Sean-qg3gg]

I hope your third theory at the end doesn’t become controversial. I’ve always been trying to tell people that anything that seems retconned for the first 7 games (1-UCN) could just be the developer’s misunderstanding, such as that we play as Evan for FNAF 4, when it was actually Michael that lived the events.

[@purrpletiger352]

4:30 it reminds me of the intro to help wanted, how it seemed like an actual ride with pictures that get lit up by spotlights... But it was still virtual I really really hope Vanessa is significant in this game, security breach cut out a lot of information about her but then made the most important ending be us saving her, i wish they gave us a stronger more obvious motive to celebrate that ending and care about vanessa in that game Im pretty sure the rabid Helpy is dispensing popcorn as a way for fazbear entertainment to both train the employee to deal with a rabid patient as well as to advertise the popcorn... Just feels like a fazbear-y thing to do 16:20 this seems more like an in-person firing to me... Based on how it's written. But i agree that Vanessa ended up as the only human staff member on the night shift, as well as the mandatory all-staff meeting probably being a trap 20:10 tape girl states that fazbear entertainment contacted the indie dev to make those games, meaning the indie dev was given internal information, more than the public would know.

[@mathemago]

17:30 The thing about Vanny and Vanessa being the same person is the fact that when you put on the mask in Ruin, you dont know how much time is passing. You usually need to put it on in order to go through manufactured boundaries, maybe Vanessa was just doing the same thing. But, in her time thinking she's looking for Gregory in the cameras, she's actually hunting him down as Vanny. When she takes off the mask, shes placed exactly where she was just thinking she was, giving her the illusion that checking the mask is all she did.

[@ProCYT]

I think this game is going to be a continuation off Ruin and we’ll be playing as Cassie after she has put on the Vanny mask and probably gone insane. The Mega Pizzaplex was most likely built on top of Fnaf 6 & Fnaf Sister Location, so the mask could be recreating things that happened in those places from the past? I think by the end of the game we might catch on to what is happening, take off the mask and get some more lore on the mimic, maybe the blob or what not. I mean the first teaser for HW 2 starts in an elevator and the main Ruin ending ended in an elevator? 🤷‍♂️

[@Pierrue]

The way the gameplay trailer looked… I think we’re playing as an adult. Especially with our height in game. Nice theory though.

[@MetaSynForYourSoul]

6:22 "... Nightmare Gas..." Oooohhhhhh i know what that is! "Nightmare Gas" is what happens after a double serving at Chipotle, right?!

[@RodriPlays11]

21:43 when the light flashes the endo looks like the mimic.

[@pvyj]

Love the Terraria background music

[@qualitytimewithted5160]

Just want to say that the Sister location was open to the public (at least partially), since they had several employees at the facility (we only see 2 but there's presumably more). Fnaf6 was open, but I'm guessing you just meant the vent sections. In that case, the animatronics were all wandering the city for potentially decades before being salvaged so Scrap baby could easily have been seen.

[@wsgimfloof]

I think the matching game is teaching the endo how to play. Because it has the mimic1 program in it, it can learn from what you are doing. That’s my theory.

[@Schwarzakilla]

It could also been what we play Cassy´s Dad. And its a Timejump between Sister location and the Pizzaplex. Maybe Cassy´s Dad is a Fazzbear Technican, and worked for Afton since Sister Location. And is the Lucky one who diddn´t get killed in the Bunker and then many years later he worked at the pizzaplex.

[@thomasp.1533]

Convoluted idea: What if the Sister Location bunker is also under the pizzaplex? We know there is a scooper room under the pizzaplex, and we know that there is Mike's hidden room inside of the pizzaplex, plus the obvious inclusion of the fnaf6 location beneath the pizzaplex. Now I'm just spitballing here, but it's an interesting possibility that after the events of Sister Location Henry converted parts of the bunker, and Mike's house, into the fnaf6 location, and then post fnaf6 the new owners of Fazbear Entertainment LLC built the pizzaplex on top of that site, building around the remains of Mike's house and overtop Circus Baby's Party and Rental + the Fnaf6 place. Defo curious about where help wanted 2 is headed.

[@toddbrooke1604]

Match Game Thought: The Endo is hooked up to all types of wires. And it seems like it leans in to study your movements when picking. What if its a Training Room. Not for you, of course. The Endo.. What if the Endo is being trained to become a Mimic?

[@lorde_spooky]

The minigame with foxy in the office looks a lot more like the interior of the aft castle of an old sailing ship, especially the shape and placement of the windows.

[@ManMan10136]

Being an active VR player and a FNAF fan, I am rally exited about this. I think this game could totally work on Quest 3, so I'm a little confused why it's not being released there. Though Meta has been making some really stupid decision, so who knows.

[@Owen01]

Connect your Quest to your PC and you can play it

[@AHandleWasAlreadyTaken]

I personally feel like the fun time recreations is a remake

[@KaytAnne]

I lost it at “#1 crate’s back, love that guy”, had to pause the video to laugh

[@thealpacaofsupport258]

I'm kinda scared about it realising so soon bc Security Breach became infamous at first for realising so unfinished I really hope the devs had the time they need for this game, it seems for me like too little time has passed since Ruin released, but if the devs think it's enough time to deliver a new game, i hope they did a good job and that they didn't had to crunch too much

[@zAch90ed]

Bro, they have 2 teams. One for VR, and the other for normal free roam. They’ve been making this game for awhile. Calm down 😂

[@Owen01]

⁠@@zAch90ed Okay and? Steel Wool aren’t just working on FNaF games, they’re not that big either.

[@SalooBC]

I left this comment on the midnight motorist video but it was 14 hours after the vide was posted so I wanted to leave it here too. "I think that this is definitely the most plausible theory for this mini game, tho there is one small thing, that while not really relevant I want to put out there anyway, don't think that tv person is Mrs afton, but instead Sr afton (Williams farther), I think that in a game where 2 out of the 3 sprites are a single colour having the last sprite have a specifically separated torso and head, with that head being bald is significant. Another thing they I think factors into this is how TV person speaks to William, they speak as if they are equals or even have some sort of superiority over him, which I don't think a wife would have to a seemingly abusive husband (this is also the biggest thing that makes me think it's not Michael, you just wouldn't talk to your abusive father like that), but a farther defiantly would have to their son. I assume Sr afton would be there baby sitting Michael (and probably Elisabeth) while William is at work, playing into the theory that Mrs Aston left or killed herself after the crying child's death. I feel that this would give William even more reason to be mad at Henry, cause not only did he course the death of his youngest but also his wife. I blurted all this out in one go so idk how much sense it makes lol."

[@FatJesusHangry]

what if this is some twisted way aftons bring people back possibly using the remenant of micheal and charlie to be under his control

[@Hoodi3knee]

I think this game is going to be another in universe VR game to discredit the rest of the mainline indie games, but also to discredit anything the now freed gregory and vannessa could say about the company. That's probably why we see stuff from sister location and fnaf 6, but also stuff from the pizzaplex pre-SB

[@IcyLightning00]

Here must mean something different

[@dagbanna4055]

Something I've noticed that I havent seen anyone talk about is that Scrap Babys attack animation right at the end of the trailer is basically a flipped version of the Mimics attack animation from the end of Ruin, which could imply that either they are indeed one and the same (like Fuhnaff has theorized) or that the Mimic copied it from Scrap Baby

[@Owen01]

Or it’s a reused animation

[@Stormister]

Glad other theorists are acknowledging the possibility of the FNaF games we played not being 1:1 with what actually happened in-universe. Seems to be an idea that's gaining more and more traction, and as upset as it would make people, it's kind of the only way for everything to make sense.

[@sammie2285]

I'm so happy I'm going to be seeing and hears Funtime Freddy my #1 from top 10 favorite animatronics. To his design lil bonbon his part in the game being the most memorable he is the moment. I loved Helpy so he is just a bigger version with more personality! Can't wait to for this game. Also #2 favorite but like on even ground of Funtime Freddy is Happy frog I wish more happy frog comes soon

[@ashleygriffiths5490]

I think the aggressive Endo kinda looks like the Mimic

[@PossumKween]

am i the only one who thinks the glamrock endo matching thing IS mystic hippo? the cards flipped dont directly match yet the player still got a good result. and if i remember correctly the blog post said something about mystic hippo using cards. just a thought

[@DJSymphonie]

well the cards were a child and a cake so the matching game is likely more about connecting concepts than literal pictures (possibly mirroring the murals in the endo corridors teaching them how to act.) Also mystic hippo is supposed to 'read your mind' via eyetracking and that specific minigame is psvr2 exclusive, so I don't think it really lines up with the Endo game.

[@MemeBeans5]

I like how the person demonstrating the games in the trailer is shaking in all the non minigame parts, like this game is gonna be like the first one where your anxiety and fear will be very high up there lol

[@Matrix77776]

10:40 omg it looks like the mimic

[@Glitchy_Memer]

3:39 Worries about not being able to play it? (hehe) I think it will take 1 or 2 months hopefully to release on meta standalone. Due to my lack of PC hardware, I had to wait a year on help wanted 1 for a quest version.
