oh it's over it is finally over the thing that's been haunting me for over two years
is finally dead and buried the fazbear frights book series 12 books 36 stories 2 912 pages yeah
you bet i counted each and every page of that thing no more do i have to waste my night's
reading page after page after page of tepid warmed over horror for the tiniest scrap of lore no more
will i be forced to try and convince you that the books are important tools for solving the games
actually guys and no more will i have to write the words fastgoo wtf into my notes i get to go back
to being a gaming channel again unless of course i want to read these seven hello neighbor books yeah
right i guess all i have to do now is wait for security breach dlc to roll out and uh no no no
hello internet welcome to game theory the show that's basically book theory in disguise because
there's now another fnaf book series in existence oh it physically hurts me to say that but tales
from the pizza plex is a thing that apparently exists the first book came out a month ago and
there are now three more due before the end of the year how how is it possible to write
so many books scott my dude i appreciate the hustle but maybe just spend a little less time
on your literature empire and a little more time making a game with a cohesive narrative
who am i kidding he just used the time to release more funko pops you
know all those essential characters to the franchise like radioactive glow foxy
regardless of my feelings about the books one thing i will say is that they've led to some of
our most important theories to date so despite my better judgment i read the new one so you
guys at home don't have to and i gotta say i was surprised this thing is a roller coaster ride in
this singular book you have one emotional gut punch of a story that's probably the best in
the entire fnaf series one incredibly gruesome story where people are physically being ripped
apart by glam rock bonnie and one where the entire world dies of cancer because a girl wanted to play
fnaf ar that last one by the way is barely an exaggeration of the actual story a girl goes to
the pizzaplex and hops into an augmented reality machine which causes everyone else in the entire
world to develop cancer and also give birth to translucent goo babies that eventually swallow the
girl whole this is a product that really exists in the fnaf cannon it's likely that what's really
happening in this story is that she's trapped in the ar machine and all of this is happening inside
the prison of her own mind but uh let me just say that the story leaves it very vague anyway i just
saved you 80 pages of reading stories about kids dying of cancer you're welcome so in the aftermath
of all of this this i've rummaged back through the old box of theories to come up with three mini
theories for you to chew on two that clarify major points from security breach and one that gives us
an idea of where the game's dlc is gonna take us next to get there we're gonna be covering lore
so much lore game lore book lore real lore ballora more lore than your brain has room for so get
ready there laura croft today we've got ourselves three theories at freddy's let's motivate this
episode with a controlled shock theory number one security breaches animatronics aren't
possessed except for freddy maybe some people already thought of this maybe have never really
questioned it but if i'm right this would be a huge deal because it would be the first time in
the series that the main animatronics don't have spirits inside of them this was something that
really stuck with me after our last episode on the blob and i figured we should probably discuss
it here so let me take you through my thinking first consider this who would be possessing these
animatronics at this point in the series security breach takes place after the fnaf6 fire a fire
that as we spoke about last time worked as henry intended as a quick reminder henry set the fire
to purge all the remaining spirits out of molten freddy and scrap baby and he was successful in his
project they're gone now that's why the puppet mask inside the blob has no more tears and my
baby's eyes are all extinguished what henry didn't account for though was agony the way i see it
the blob is a collection of agony that lingers on inside the older models of suits and endoskeletons
the rage that remains even after the spirits pass on so if i'm truly right about that all those
past victims have been laid to rest they're gone they're removed from the franchise off the lore
table so if not them then what spirits would be inside the rock stars well the only other option
are the nine missing kids that we see in the newspaper article during the game's bad ending
and honestly that's just too many we only get six new animatronics in this game freddy monty chica
roxy daycare attendant and music man it's been too long specifically did this episode just so i had
an excuse to do that i suppose you could say that there were seven if you count the two sides of the
daycare attendant but still that is two spirits short but you don't have to take my word for it
the game outright tells us this itself about a month ago fredit user seriously unserious posted
a big research doc breaking down the opening cut scene of the game from the perspective of
a computer expert this was research that they were doing for a video on the rye toast channel which
shout out to a fellow fnaf theorist love your cat by the way if you've never heard right toast go
check them out i mean when you got thumbnails like this you know that this is a channel coming from
a great creator with some really smart stuff to say anyway in his reddit post seriously on sirius
looks at the glitch trap virus for exactly what it is a computer virus going into the specific
details of how viruses work and seeing how it affects glam rock freddy you see computer viruses
don't live independently within a system they have to be attached to something usually a file or a
program and when said program runs that triggers the virus and allows it to run and believe it or
not but we actually watched this process happen at the very beginning of security breach notice how
when we're looking through glamrock freddy's hud we get a glimpse that he's in show mode there's
an integrity bar and we get a line that says test run also you'll notice the command line interface
here where the primary folder is named system32 which has always been associated with the 32-bit
version of windows in other words freddy and the other animatronics are pc master race baby
but as we all know very shortly into freddy's performance he stops dancing and begins to glitch
out when he gets triggered by a child that's out in the audience that's what we've covered in the
past but one thing that we've never done is look through these five seconds at a quarter speed to
actually watch the cascade of events playing out that ultimately result in freddy's crash inside
the system 32 folder freddy runs a program named git 568. we also see this happen in the code when
the command line heat 869 pops up heat vision or thermal vision so it would seem like the git
program is telling freddy to scan the audience and look for a kid to potentially grab eventually
there's a second command line which loads in some other programs and runs tests all of these tests
come back with a negative result except for the last one which receives a y yes and that's when
the program starts to crash at the same time freddy supposedly finds gregory in the crowd
this then prompts freddie's program to define rule x looks like the code is searching for what it's
supposed to do in a situation like this we don't know what that rule is but we do know that the
next step is to return warning 79 which is when we see the word warning pop up in the hud freddy then
goes into overdrive and the whole thing aborts it tries to init task initialize a new task but
this is met with a void response meaning that it's not getting a response from freddie's ram
the next line then tells us alec overload which shows the virus trying to reallocate resources in
freddy's memory but there's an insufficient amount which causes s-w-dot failure and freddy crashing
to the ground after that he's booted up into safe mode which is a way to boot up a system that uses
only the bare essential programs get it bear cause he's a bear you'll notice that glitch trap isn't
a problem for freddy throughout the rest of the game which tells us that the glitch trap virus
is actually housed as a part of show mode it's a non-essential program this is why freddy's in
the clear for the remainder of the game but the other animatronics are suddenly in kill gregory
mode because once the show's done glitch trap activates it's funny but in a poetic twist the
glitch trap virus caused freddie to glitch crashed him out of show mode which in turn rendered glitch
trap unable to corrupt his system it's only after the corrupted parts of the other animatronics are
added to freddie that we finally see glitch trap able to get a stronger hold over a system
but let's go back to that allocation overload that prompted freddie's crash in the first place
normally this is caused by a lack of cpu or ram but why would it crash inside of freddy and not
any of the other animatronics what else could be taken up the valuable disk space inside a
freddy well how about the soul of michael afton why else would freddy suddenly not have enough
resources when all the other animatronics work fine it's because he has something inside of
him that they don't the spirit of someone else a spirit that starts to show activity once he sees
gregory out in the audience and while we're on the subject of dead kids theory number two gregory
everyone's favorite robot kid was built using old parts of staff bots i know the whole gregory is a
robot theory is already a bit controversial but like it or not robot kids have been an accepted
thing inside this universe since charlie had four versions of herself hidden behind closet doors in
the initial novel trilogy and where there's a robot kid there also tends to be a box that
they can pop out of again case in point charlie and wouldn't you know it but the new tales from
the pizza plex book doubles down on both robot kids and boxes with not just one story but two
in the second story lally's game selena is about to marry the love of her life kade they move into
a new house and while unpacking selena sees an old trunk that belongs to kade a box that kate insists
is full of memorabilia surprise surprise not memorabilia at all but rather yet another robot
kid lally yeah lally is the robot child that's on the cover of this book but that visual is actually
misleading lally does have the childish facial features and is around three to four feet tall but
he isn't purple rather he's meant to be white with black joints anyway once again we find ourselves
with a robot child that's locked away inside of a box one that is specifically mentioned to be
related to the pizza plex but it's another story frailty where things get real interesting in this
one we're given yet another robot girl jessica but jessica's built a little bit differently around
her neck she wears a heart-shaped pendant that has healing properties when she shaves off parts
of that pendant she's able to heal sick people around her as the pendant gets smaller and smaller
rusty oily metal junk begins to mysteriously appear around her until once the pendant's gone
jessica just becomes a pile of scrap if that story sounds vaguely familiar to you it should because
the exact same thing happened in the second ever fazbear fright story to be beautiful in that one
a girl named sarah finds eleanor fazbear frights his version of baby in a junkyard as thanks for
rescuing her eleanor grant sarah a wish sarah wishes as the title of the story suggests to
be beautiful each morning sarah wakes up to have yet another part of her fixed the only stipulation
is that sarah keep wearing a mysterious pendant in the end sarah takes off the pendant and collapses
into a pile of rusted old garbage she had been rebuilt piece by piece by eleanor looking and
acting like a human but held together by a pendant made of remnant until the pendant
came off the illusion was broken and she turned back into trash jessica in this new book appears
to be yet another victim of baby's scheme however there's more to frailty than just human looking
metal cause i don't think jessica is just made out of any old junk i think she's made out of
very special junk at the very start of the story we get this line quote jessica pushed the wet mop
across the hospital floor to and fro to and fro she remembered that saying from somewhere before
she just didn't remember from where something from the past now alone this wouldn't amount
to all that much but this forgotten memory of pushing a mop to and fro is repeated three other
times throughout the story it's one of those weird details that goes completely unexplained has no
actual bearing on the plot but feels important because it's repeated so many times and is
so oddly specific we do eventually learn that jessica's aware of her current state as a heap
of junk held together by a magic pendant and that it's all tied to a decision that she made sometime
in her past when she was a normal kid with a normal life but this specific memory about a mop
nothing she has memories of her past sure but the compulsion to mop yeah she has no idea where it's
coming from which is why i suspect it's not her memory instead i think it's coming from the memory
of these guys the staff bots in security breach we have a number of mopping staff bots throughout the
facility all programmed to move their mops to and fro to and fro just like jessica now we know that
jessica's made out of junk i'm not suggesting that she's just a staff bot in disguise or something
but we also know that there's a lot of broken and discarded staff bots underneath the pizza
plex and the pizzaplex is mentioned in the story frailty so what if eleanor uses parts of these
broken down staff bots as part of the junk to recreate jessica and the memory inside its metal
has mixed with jessica's own memories well it would explain why she remembers the phrase but
not where it comes from it would also explain a lot about gregory's robotic origins now that
admittedly seems like a stretch but stick with me during our initial playthrough of security breach
i called out the strange presence of staff bots in two major secret rooms first staff bots are either
mangled or fully dismantled in the secret daycare room a lot of disassembled staff bots i mean this
one's been beat up kind of like torn apart this is a room that we theorized could probably be
gregory's hideout considering that we see t-shirts hanging up alongside the walls kind of like you
would a closet as well as the pictures that label a small child as me also posted on the walls you
know looking back on this room almost a year later there's another picture in here my fun day with a
big old birthday cake and me labeled right next to it just saying the connections between this
kid and fnaf four's failed birthday party keeps stacking up anyway lots of weird beat up staff
bots exist in here in a way that they don't appear practically anywhere else in the game the second
place that we see beat up staff bots is in the most lore-heavy room in the game the post-it room
down in the sewers at the time i was focused on the messages on the post-its with the one binary
one that translates to why is i this is what led me down the path of gregory being a robot and that
message was his first step into consciousness but post-its aren't the only thing that are
in that room there are also hundreds of broken staff bot heads that are piled along the walls
not endoskeleton parts specifically staff bots at the time i proposed that gregory might have just
been experimenting with the parts it was just kind of a throwaway comment but now thanks to jessica's
connection to a mop bot i feel like maybe the staff bots in gregory might be more related than
i initially thought he's asking why is i because his actual memories as the crying child are only
just beginning to come back clashing against the programming of the staff bot who was never
truly alive in the first place and it's why there are all these pieces of broken staff bots up in
the daycare room if he needs a repair he can just use those parts because they're exactly what he's
made from gregory has been pieced together with the parts of broken staff bots all we need now
to prove it is the heart-shaped pendant that lies underneath his striped shirt which means it's time
we talk about the other child we see in security breach theory number three the security breach
dlc will be the official end of the afton saga i always come back nope not this time my friend i
feel real confident about this one how do i know well it all comes back to color color has always
been hugely important to the franchise slightly confusing at times but important nonetheless so
rather than looking at the poster for hidden eyes up in the corners or trying to figure out
why gregory might be on a computer monitor i instead wanted to bring your attention to two
specific color clues that have been given through this poster first of all the title take a look at
that new logo we got security breach ruin security breach as you'd expect is just the main game logo
but ruin is purple well this franchise is known for its use of bright colors especially in the
neon pizza plex purple is always always reserved for the aftons obviously both william and michael
are purple in the princess quest ending both vanessa and gregory are purple burn trap's room is
purple and so are his eyes purple is afton's color and so with a purple logo and a room filled with
purple lights have a feeling that what i predicted at the end of my last theory might come to pass
with afton being absorbed by the blob he's gonna take control of it and it'll be up to us to put an
end to him once and for all but how we've used fire three times at this point it's never once
worked so what else can we do well we can use the girl on the poster when i first looked at
the poster i knew that there was something fishy about her this is weird why'd you turn black and
white that's too suspicious you don't color in one part of your asset and then leave the rest
of it black and white first of all let's take a look at the only color that we have to work
with here the shoes those lights are pinky red the same as the pink top of elizabeth afton a little
girl who happens to be close to gregory's age the girl in the poster also has pale hair which would
imply that it's blonde rather than brunette there are definitely some level of physical similarities
here but elizabeth just like every other kid in this franchise is dead she got herself scooped
by babies so it can't possibly be her right or can it i suspect that the black and white palette may
be just more than hiding her identity but also informing us to how she's gonna be here in the
first place in media making something black and white usually implies that it's something from
the past maybe before color television or just remembering something like christopher nolan's
memento elizabeth being in black and white while the rest of the image is fully in color
suggests that she is in some way a memory from the past now i theorized last time that to beat afton
and his agony you'd have to do what the stitch wraith did back in fazbear fights you'd have to
go inside his mind find the good memories within the agony and make the good memories stronger
essentially trapping the person within the happy memories to help the agony disappear so if this is
elizabeth well then that's probably why she's in black and white she's a construct of when she was
alive in afton's memories in the end we might not be exploring the real ruins of the pizza plex in
the dlc but rather the ruins of afton's own mind a jumbled mix of rage and sadness pizzerias spread
across time and space a life that has fallen to ruin if i'm right the dlc could be an exploration
of every other key point in the timeline of these games as we the memory of elizabeth try to put our
father to rest once and for all and honestly it makes sense for the narrative at this point afton
was absorbed by the blob the blob is a collection of anger from all of his past victims for the
first time the two are truly interacting fusing together it's the narrative excuse to bring killer
and kill together to explore the memories of those moments and finally give everyone peace or revenge
one of the two so there you have it steel wool i wrote your ending for you you forced afton upon
us in security breach when we all thought he was gone so you might as well do him some justice and
give him the ending he deserves this is the end of burn trap in the blob closing the book on the
afton saga for good allowing for a fresh start in the next project because it's finally time
to give the fans what they really want an ar game that curses the world into a debilitating illness
and turns babies into faz goo you know what on second thought maybe we just don't adapt
that story for the games but hey that's just a theory three game theories thanks for watching
you
