I SOLVED the Next FNAF Game (Secret of the Mimic)

[@NightGuardJohnny]

Couple things: Uhyeah is not in the game, I used a picture of him on the poster because he’s also a pinkish dog. Also, Edwin almost definitely isn’t a Henry parallel because they referenced Murray Co. in that billboard in Five Laps, which would be very misleading if Edwin Murray wasn’t a character

Mad respect. I like the break down of mimic lore. My only complaint is that you didn’t spam “THE MIMIC!” Every time you said the word mimic.

[@HorrorHomestead]

I'm glad the community is in agreement that Jackie's Box is the canon depiction of Edwin and Dave.

[@Cross_Corp64]

This is probably the best video about Secret of the Mimic ngl. While we may be optimistic for what will be revealed in the game, I hope most of Edwin and Mimic’s origins, Mimic’s relationship with Afton, and some questions surrounding Fallfest and the Steel Wool Era get answered and fleshed out by this game. And I might go on to say you did amazing with this video, now I’m reading for SOTM

[@jinsoulsbleachedhair]

I loved this video!! I really hope they make it so the mimic goes into other suits around the factory. It’ll really amp up the horror and make it super suspenseful

[@retrov5469]

This is definitely one of the best! Theories/speculation that I have seen for SOTM so far! Amazing video!

[@Kurple_guy]

15:45 it could be that We could see the unwithered animatronics or even older models like their prototypes

[@AB-on-YT]

I like your channel cuz it implies that the FNAF nightguards might theorize about FNAF and even play the horror games and still choose to do the nightshift

[@syweb2]

This is a really good video! I applaud the effort to recreate scenes from the demo yourself, or use other people's recreations and making comparisons to what was changed. The editing is really good, and you pointed out some of the little details that I don't think anyone else brought attention to. 14:00 Those are alternating _stars_ and moons, both of which are associated with night.

[@alexsch_]

15:08 that poster does actually exist in Help Wanted 2, you can unlock it during the game. And balloon boy was on the carousel in help wanted 2 aswell, just check any out of bounds video on the carosuel level you'll see him there

[@NightGuardJohnny]

Oh good to know!

[@onlyflylikeabeetv]

that's not a paper shredder on the alpha staff bot, that's a typewriter

[@NoHandle44]

I think it's just an example model to give us a visual. It's not literally the staff bit in the game. He made it clear that most of the video is just recreations for our viewing pleasure.

[@RipleyCLASSICS]

If the Storyteller in TFTP takes control of VR and AR, could that also explain why the Funtime service tries to kill you in FNAF AR?

[@solleehasnolife4780]

It’s my personal theory that fnaf AR and VR were intended to be soft reboots of the original games. Using modern technology to bring William Afton back. It’s hinted that Vanessa and Vanny was going to be a red herring situation since the AR emails specifically point out Vanny’s rainbow dyed hair while SB teasers showed Vanessa having blond natural hair. It’s also implied in Help Wanted that Vanny was either the player character or the possessed tape girl. Using glitchtrap to get into Fazbear entertainment systems without credentials. Then in AR using the rental service to harvest remnant from people who ordered animatronics at night and that were alone. SB likely was going to see Afton be fully reborn because of his remnant collection paired with the power supply of the Pizzaplex. But Steel Wool wanted to expand the game which resulted in dozens of retcons and lore changes resulting in the SB we know and hate.

“My name is David”

[@brianpark5117]

“Dad. Where is my ice cream?”

[@legitsalt]

Thanks for clarifying what definition of "solved" you're using for this video!

[@Lu-Sun777]

His name,indeed,is David

[@Weareroses]

Sadly, David always wanted that ice cream

[@NoHandle44]

17:42 Doesn't that kinda suck that Jackie is advertised as the big bad in all the promotional work, only for her to "die" and we face the Mimic? That's a lost opportunity for a new character. But I will say that the idea of the Mimic hiding in suits that you have to walk past is a genius idea! It's like how in Dead Space, the entire game is littered with corpse. But some of them wil get up and attack you. So you have navigate around dead bodies not knowing if one of them is still ailve. Amazing.

[@fletcherswag]

My name is david

[@chewtag]

dad I want some ice cream

[@Xbx-gp9tv]

David, where is my BBAAALLL?

[@ShadowRise625]

14:17 also, awhile back, before he retired, Matpat pointed out that in Security Breach RUIN, the Eclipse’s endoskeleton has a very similar design to that of the Mimic

[@fireball0525]

That would also explain why the mimic is all burnt when it gets taken to the pizzaplex….👀

[@NoHandle44]

It's burnt?

[@fireball0525]

@ In the book, when it says he was dropped off at the Pizzaplex, it says something about a “burnt endoskeleton” referring to the Mimic

[@nightrunner823mcpro2]

A small correction, Balloon Boy actually is on the carousel in HW 2 (which really just confirms what you said even further). What's really neat is it's the exact silhouette as the poster. He's on the outer most layer which is why you can't see it, but you can see it clearly in this out of bounds video at 7:58 kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2apq4uDnq57eJY Also I absolutely LOVE this. The idea that we have to deactivate all the mimics makes it feel like we have an actual purpose rather than just "survive" like all the other games. The mimic being such a versatile character makes for such a cool enemy as just like you said, it could be hiding anywhere. Pair that with maybe a few dozen of them hidden throughout a massive factory and you have yourself a pretty solid horror game. I was excited before but videos like these make me all the more hyped, whether it's to see them come true or get blown away by something completely unexpected. Also really liked the inclusion of the mimic demo recreation video, I saw that a while back and thought it was severely underrated so it's nice to see it all come together here. Great work!

[@hamdiqueen8087]

I have my own theory that the big hippo costume is Mr. hippo. They look similar, Mr. hippos designed is very basic and rudimentary. And was probably designed in the very early 80s like 1980 to 1981 but I think the the actual character is way more older, and was made by Edwin since in this part of the timeline animatronics are not common and the only people that would be making animatronics, or Henry and Edwin since at this point, William does not know that much about animatronics since he probably learned from Henry and Jackie it’s just costume containing the mimic so he didn’t know how to make an Endo yet since it was probably takes in Edwin,s factory, I place bets that Mr. hippo was created by Edwin

[@DaRealICantThinkOfAUsername]

Technically sun/moon is now eclipse after the events of the ruin dlc for security breach but it would be cool for them to return in secret of the mimic 😮😮

Even though I think that all of the tales are in the games (with some slight ret-cons) I do agree with the rest of the theories. Also I hope this video gets more views because I can tell you took A LOT of work making this video.

[@johngtag]

Imagine the post credit scene is the mimic in a truck, and it cuts to a black screen with “easy peasy for it.”

[@UnnamedSecurityGuard]

Love this theory. I'm honestly very curious about what exactly the relationship was between Edwin, William and Henry and what exactly happened to Edwin. Henry is dead, William is in Purgatory but Edwin is unaccounted for. Maybe he has something to do with Fazbear Enterprises continuing into the Pizzaplex era. Very curious how this all shakes out

[@zenvariety9383]

I haven't played the games or read the books yet, but Game Theory is on the notion that the Tales of the Pizzaplex books are pulling a Silver Eyes where the books are just introducing the characters. Honestly I think the devs are just using the books to create games. Also it's possible that Edwin and Henry could be the same person. The games from what I've heard never confirmed that Henry's surname is Emily. So it's possible Charlie Emily is Charlie Emily Murray and that Mimic's backstory could be retelling a near death experience with Henry's son but adding in the fact that Charlie was probably ran over by Afton.

[@UnnamedSecurityGuard]

@@zenvariety9383 That would be an interesting one but that's a leap on top of a leap at the moment because we just don't have any info yet. But don't feel bad my first theory got blown out of the water within a week because of the HW2 update that came out of nowhere

[@ziezionnzs]

Wait wait I got a theory . what if Mrs afton is our protagonist. Hear me out. It would explain why she’s been gone for the other games because she died by Jackie and later possessed Jackie.

[@n_art_cissist]

I also think that book Edwin Murray might be a stand in for game Henry, or possibly William, considering Henry also made vacuums to start off before animatronics (Mr hugs), and considering our Henry doesn’t have a canon last name in the games, maybe his last name is Murray. His story is also very similar to the silver eyes (but not the same), where his child dies and he recreates her as a robot, after pouring his rage into the doll. I believe the books are trying to show us stories that point us to the right direction in-game lore but they aren’t necessarily 1 for 1. I also think the games are majorly flawed in lore because of security breach, that they are still cleaning up after that mess. 9:47 is that fucking uhyeah. It also really pissed me off that they’d release a demo to play for pax and didn’t want any footage or leaks happening, like this is the fucking fnaf community and we are sick of begging for scraps. You think they want to show off the game to get more hype, which makes me think it’s probably dog shit like SB is/was.

[@cake1987-cm7yb]

Literally they confirmed that edwin and henry similarities are on accident

[@IanBishop-f2l]

One detail in Security Breach is that there is a calendar in a Security office that can line up with the years 2029, 2035, or 2046. There is a "Faz-Masquerade" poster in SB with a number that's been read as either 2035 or 2046. This has been interpreted to be the date SB takes place.

[@_IDontKnow_64_]

7:25 the thing is that there is no point to add Mimic nor the Tiger plush unless SWS is misleading us on purpose. Espeically when everyone thought Afton came back and they make a whole epilogue story about how Mimic ended up in Pizza Place

[@_IDontKnow_64_]

The fnaf books are also inconsistent, especially to themselves. Storyteller says Edwin started his company at the age of 24, The Mimic says otherwise.

[@_IDontKnow_64_]

Inconsistencies don’t really matter especially when again the books contradict themselves but the games also do that to OTHER games.
