10:17 no no, I think this was a misunderstanding. The Mimic didn't order in a Fazbear employee to get the blue prints. That part was for sure FBE and a real dispatch. I do believe the original Dispatch voice does reach inside the factory as well, but ONLY for the first for lines. The lines where he always finishes his lines with "over" or "over and out" as an indication that they are indeed the real Dispatch. That all changes when you can actually hear the shift in tone and cadence on how he talks. No longer finishing his lines with "over and out" or the like. THIS is the mimic taking over that voice. After studying how Dispatch talks for a while.
Yeah, I believe this, too. Haven't finished th3 video, but I hope this misunderstanding doesn't hinder the theories finding.
There is also another detail that further proves this. After we get chased by Jackie and fall from the ceiling you hear the voice responder glitch for a while before dispatch starts talking again. You here a similar glitch in the bad ending when Arnold is told by dispatch that he mishandled and lost fazbear property, further proving that at some point the mimic intercepted communication between FBE and Arnold to get Arnold to do what it wanted.
theres an obvious glitch in dispatch's voice when you return to the first safe room, my guess would be thats where the og dispatch is 'patched' by the mimic
Dispatch was NEVER the Mimic....which is kinda obvious they call it out multiple times in the true ending. not just do they constantly tell you about the Mimic, they also tell you how the Mimic cant see you but they still can...and then later they even confirm that F1ON4 was the Dispatch Voice once we go to her, Arnold even calls it out by saying how the voice changed
@@silverstone9836 F1ON4 is the mimic though, she's M1. She's just not the mimic that's chasing after Arnold which is M2
10:24 No. The point early on where Dispatch's voice glitches, that's when M1 took over. That's why after Arnold leaves, Dispatch asks where he's been, why he didn't get the mimic, why he left the data diver at MCM.
Idk how game theory can even miss this obvious detail bruh

0:10 bro said it so calmly id be crashing out bro 😭
So the only thing I noticed so far is that you missed the fact dispatch actually sent Arnold to the manor to recover the mimic. After he enters the facility its f10 n4 but while he is in the van it's actually dispatch
Yeah no clue how they missed that as the voice glitches before we meet the computer version of the Ai at the restaurant they are building it’s obvious it’s Fiona getting Arnold to get the blueprints and not the mimic itself
@@emilyrice2689 Since the Livestream they just call both of them the Mimic since IIRC Fiona is M1 and the Violent mimic is M2.
@@lvlHivefair enough but it’s a bit confusing tho 😂
Why are there so many bots
Also fiona didnt pass away. She burned alive in fall fest. As told in help wanted 2 when the carousel burnt down. And in the logs she says she went to fall fest but never came back.
I don't think Henry had any bad intentions or motives, as shown by every version William is a very charismatic person so he probably manipulated Henry to go along with it, and he only realized the mistake after it was too late.
Which adds more weight to his FNAF 6 speech he not only feels responsible for not stopping Williams murders but also having a hand to play in a kind mans death
Bot above me😠😡
Insert someone insulting you for daring to not jump to conclusions about Henry here:
Seriously though, i think at least it’s too hasty to assume he had bad intentions without thorough consideration; new game or not, it’s not a great precedent for theorizing if we so easily throw away what we thought was true.
Yeah, I fully believe that Henry is in a situation where he found himself in too deep and William held that over him, explaining why Henry didn't do much to stop William despite clearly having been at least suspicious.
I 100% think it’s correct that Henry was manipulated
As in the Fnaf 6 ending he says:
«A monster I *unwillingly helped* to create»
So he is saying he has culpability in some of the bad things William was doing, but not willingly
I think it will be expanded upon in the DLC perhaps
I think Henry’s a much more interesting character with the implication he was bad but grew a conscience later rather than just being a squeaky clean guy with no backbone.
It took me until today to realize that MatPat leaving behind a bri'ish guy in charge of Game Theory was, in itself, a reference to FNAF.
Huh?
@pvzubat9924 the Afton family are British, William probably moved from English to America when he was a child. it's clear in William and Elizabeth's voice lines in Sister location and Michel's voice lines at the end of FNAF 3
OH MY GOD I UNDERSTAND IT
@frogsarecool6135 *England.
@frogsarecool6135 I love how everyone clinges to "They are British!!11!!" Because one game showed them that way, when EVERY SINGLE other appearance they are all 100% American and Scott said he never intended them to be British, just that's was the voice actor duo he grabbed last minute

@@Banana-Boi ah mb didn't get the irony
10:20 I don't think the mimic was talking to Arnold the entire game. You can hear shortly after the Jackie chase scene that there's interference with dispatch's communication. That's when the mimic takes over and copies the voice that we originally heard.
It's F10-N4 (M1) that takes over, not the M2 Mimic (David)
@Sumserprime-fq5jy That doesn't matter. Point is, dispatch was taken over after the Jackie chase, not at the start of the game. It's a massive blunder on GT's part.
@@reaperz5677 it hugely matters overall tho?
Something I just noticed is that at 18:10 , the "forgotten birthday" drawing, David's holding two balloons. The balloons are the same colours as the ones on the Fazbear Entertainment Van. Even the same positioning too with the red balloon on the left and the blue one on the right.
@OfficerStreetCrasherUTTP are you... Not saying "THIS VIDEO IS TRASH MY VIDEOS ARE BETTER GAME THEORY SUCKS AND IM BETTER..."
The bots broken
@CapriHendrickson-e1y9w yeah that's shocking/gen
@@CapriHendrickson-e1y9w yeah
Foxy and Chica not being originally owned by Fazbears makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
Fredbear and Springbonnie were the only two animatronics they had, then they would later become Freddy and Bonnie
Chia
Which explain why Bear and Bunny are such big deal in Fezbear compare toward those two....
It explains why Foxy has his own room in fnaf 1.
It also explains that one line she has
Also makes sense when you consider that Freddy sings and Bonnie plays an instrument, but Chica and Foxy dont have set roles within the band.
10:15 i am pretty sure that it WAS the REAL dispatch that sent Arnold to the MCM. and it doesn't change to "F1ON4" until after the Jackie chase. if you remember, after the Jackie chase the dispatch voice glitches out. i think THAT is when the switch happened 😔😔😒😒
proves to me that there is no more quality control inside of the games. Sad to see them fail so abruptly, cause thats not the only issue this video has
@@Goofyahhenjoyer89do you mean the games itself or the channel 😅?
It also switches to a weird monotone less loud or energetic voice

DEAD RAILS
10:22 the mimic only replaced dispatch after the Jackie chase
Yea I agree, he even sounds more robotic after that moment too
When I watched someone play the game, I remember them mentioning being suspicious of the voice because they stopped mentioning the gift card. In the end, they were right to be skeptical.
Was it spiff@@walkermorgan1574
But it wasn't even the mimic that was chasing you does replacing dispatch. It's the one that's trapped in what looks like the fnaf 1 location
Yeah I felt that it was obvious at that point is when Fiona takes over from Dispatch
As a zenless zone zero player, i watched the video until 11:00 and i was hit with a fricking jumpscare😂
I was not expecting je fufu, I just wanted to watch a fnaf video and the 50/50 flashbacks hunt me again

10:54 this jump scares more than that

So... are you a Mimic... or a robot with a chip that makes you look human?! :O
Perhaps you've been betrayed by an Henry emily!??!

I expected you to mention that Dispatch is originally Dispatch and at 1am it switches to M1/F10-N4. Listen to the vocal changes that happen around there.
Separate point, which is more speculative hence I've put it here rather than to mix it up with the one that's overtly right there in the game.
There seems to be two animated Endoskeletons in the game. One mimicking Violent David and one mimicking Edwin Sleepy Moon. With Fiona/F10-N4 that gives us an entire trio of Murray Mimics. We're shown evidence of more than one endoskeleton in the basement hidden room.
@styfen two sides, one coin. In the game files there are mentions of a fourth ending with the mimic getting locked into the Edwin personality
@@styfen That Sleepy Moon might not even be an endo. It's heavily implied to be a reanimated corpse.
I literally just finished the Game Theory FNAF timeline… **sigh**

That leads me to believe he might have been the one leaking the M2 data to Fazbear's, and was then later hired to manage a location thanks to William Afton's message. There's definitely more to him than meets the eye...
Ralph is phone guy in fnaf 1
Ralph is bigger than we thought....
@@Stanataka we only know that thanks to the new choose your own adventure book, who canonicity is not clear (yes I know they explicitly said it take place one week before FNAF1, but agreeing it was in the same continuity open a whole can of worm about which book is and which is not)

@@Suzzanne-w4iI don’t know, the week before seems pretty easy to nail down same thing with escape the pizza plex pretty straightforward, return to the pit is the same as the original so I don’t think it’s really confusing compared to the games.
21:47 Wait wait, Edwin disappeared?? There's an audiolog that clearly points out M2 taking him out or injuring him where M2 reports an explosion, mocks and mimicks Edwin, and talks about working on its legs while Edwin asks for help, desperately apologizes for his anger, and seems to have a leg injury of his own.
Yeah I have no idea why they said that
@CadenceofHisui in the gameplaytrailer edwin is said to have disappeared, and you don't see his dead body anyone in the house or factory.
Its not a certainty that he died, there is no body around in his house, in the game that's deliberately full of bodies
I think it's more than a leg injury
Wasn’t that a part of one of the endings? I think it’s gonna be a different video for all of the endings so that might be why it wasn’t mentioned.
12:21 not cat, tiger
[Insert Jackie's box reference here]
10:28 no? Dispach sends arnold in but THEN when he's in the facility it swaps
Ikr, I don't know how they missed that, it's not even difficult to put the pieces together
10:15 i am pretty sure that it WAS the REAL dispatch that sent Arnold to the MCM. and it doesn't change to "F1ON4" until after the Jackie chase. if you remember, after the Jackie chase the dispatch voice glitches out. i think THAT is when the switch happened.
Yeah cause dispatch was trying to reach out after Arnold got into the manor
sadly they dont even realize Dispatch was F1ON4 not sure how they missed it since it was called out multiple times in the true ending that Dispatch is not the one chasing you and then it gets fully confrimed when meeting F1ON4 but during GTLive they never made the connection at all,
are we sure about this though, because that wasnt true in ruin
You also get the same voice glitching right before you reconnect with the real dispatch after you give the data diver to the mimic.

@@RoyalHAMM Exactly
17:29: You can say "all" when some is that far along in a pregnancy. It could also be "all" to include everyone who works there
Totally was my thought too. An extra candle for good luck and an important day while pregnant. Not the biggest thing in the world but David likely is in fact five
When a woman is pregnant, period
Also, if they were friends with Henry and possibly William, and it's a Fazbear Fall Fest, "all" could indicate them and other collaborators.
@niewesoa5299 You realize a woman can be pregnant and not know right lol? In which case you wouldn't say "all" lol.
it reminds me of that one Fantastic Four trailer when they "we're all here" while Sue is pregnant.
the title is like an average week on game theory and i love it
Something I've been wondering about SOTM is was Edwin alive when Arnold arrived? When you encounter the mimic as Jackie he rips out of the box and doesn't have any legs. Later you get to listen to a recording of the mimic talking to Edwin and saying that the mimic finished making his legs himself. Did the mimic leave for a moment to go finish his legs after failing to get Arnold as Jackie? Did we just miss finding Edwin alive by a few hours?
Peak
Is it confirmed Edwin died to Mimic? In books he dies in the tree right? (Still not sure if that's canon)
20:15 my dude she literally says "I have to go help the fall fest crew" 😭
Ughhh bots
And he prceeds to talk about the fall fest fire? Whats your point
@@hail_yeet462 The point being Game Theory did not need to make an inference
@andrew10022 I mean helping the fall fest crew doesnt mean it happened at fall fest. In highschool I helped the theater department with the end of year program, doesnt mean i was at the actual performance, which I was not. Didn't need tk be there, I was happily asleep. I was invited though, but going tk school on a Saturday is a bigger commitment then staying after for a bit.
10:23 The Mimic didn’t fake the order. Fazbear is actually there at first. M1 hijacks the transmission at a certain point after you enter MCM
yep that’s why dispatcher voice suddenly glitched in the early game
F10N4 hijacked it, not the mimic
@@helenrose4588M1 = F10N4
@@helenrose4588F10NA = M1
“The mimic” as in the endo that is out for blood in SOTM = M2
The Mimic isn't mimicking dispatch till you enter the building meaning the dispatch from the start sending Arnold at the start is real. This can be proven because you can tell do to slightly off way of talking after a static attack early in the game, which we can assume is when M1 takes over.
15:42 I think it’s interesting that you brought up the six candles on the cake because my family puts an extra candle on the cake for good luck. So if someone was turning five, there would be six candles, one for each year and an extra for good luck.
10:55 when I tell you I was NOT ready for a ZZZ mention in a FNAF theory video-
JUFUFU JUMPSCARE REAL!!! 😂
Its even more interesting because ju fufu is tigergirl considering the tiger plushie in FNAF(a conspiracy theory😂😂😂)
This is going to end up in a game theory out of context video
Real, I walked away to get something and I did a double take when I heard "Ju fufu"
10:52 I really want someone from hoyolabs to take this clip and make it into a meme that is some golden stuff right there
17:40 couldnt fiona be pregnant with david and thats why he says theyre all there
Also, December 6th is still the fall
The funny thing is, it is possible and I wanted to say but it wouldn't be normal to talk it that way. Then I though: When a pregnant woman achieved something does she say: "I did it" or with the mind on the baby "We did it"?.
kinda not really but maybe
That's what I wanna say
@@Gnowimasterin your scenario,no. But I’ve heard women remember an event or travel during pregnancy and say the child was there too, because technically they were.
23:44 nice to know Tom and Santi are engaged
23:04 HELPY HAS PARENTS?!
Helps is my favorite 😍 so cute and helpful pune intended
wait so edwin made M2 to like... replace david??? but then abused it?? that's got big frankenstein vibes but worse. how do ppl even feel bad for him after that lol.
His outburst is because he saw M2 as a fake. He didn’t want M2 originally but M1 convinced him to make it. He didn’t like M2 at all though, it wasn’t, at least in his mind, his kid at all. He didn’t see M2 as a person, he saw it as an imperfect replacement, as opposed to treating it like its own person.
because it was difficult for him to put the pieces together, obviously
M2 just mimics david, it isnt actually david. But he ended up beating it up because he realized it wasn't David and was angry that it kept pretending to be him. In one of the recordings you can hear Edwin yelling at it to stop before he started destroying it
The guy's company is collapsing, his wife and son are dead, he's working himself to death, and now a robot won't stop copying how his son used to act. He had a mental breakdown and attacked it.
he abused it BECAUSE it was not his son
18:29
There's audio log that specifically tells that Edwin was busy during David's 3rd birthday
With Fiona still being alive, so... No, it wasn't the 4th birthday, it was the 3rd
P.s. that audio log is in the same place where you collect those 5 birthday videos
21:00 all of above brings the date of Fiona's death a year later - 1973
One particularly morbid detail in David's party room; One of the chairs is EXTRA moldy. Hinting that that was where David was sitting when he passed in a gruesome manor
Fiona’s first recorded message is something I never see anyone talk about. It’s clear she’s nervous, and her speech about how it’s “not your fault, and it’s just another one of life’s speed bumps” could be in relation to Edwin’s reaction to his father’s death.
(15:22) The mimic reported him dead, or killed him? We never got an actual answer and its left to interpretation, but as its laid out, David was alive at the playground, M1 went to get him, and he never made it back. This narrative is often used in story telling to piece together what happened in between.
I heard once that the mimic could't feel connected to David so it decided to well arghh do the Mascot horror 1×1 and than tried to convience Edwin to create another one to have are son it could connect to
@@Morebluethanblueeverycouldbe I believe it's the M1 program thinking it knows what's better for Edwin than Edwin does (stay up latte) and was trying to make David permanent like itself.
@@TH3ORYCHUM i’ve also heard a take where the M1, thinking it knew better than Edwin, thought that killing David would help with the completion of M2 because it knew Edwin saw it as Fiona and believed that in some way (possession or otherwise) a life was required to power the endo.
That would align with a theory I’ve had that the “red snake” in the Candy Cadet story about the snake eating the kitten actually refers to the Mimic. This would mean that either Henry and/or Edwin is aware that F10NA is potentially dangerous but doesn’t want to decommission her because she’s their prized creation. This then comes to pass with M1 killing David. Edwin would then be in despair for a few days before deciding to try to recreate his dead son as the second mimic.
@@cathygrandstaff1957the tehorie was actually created with hints in this bring the sun back minigame
Ok, something I just noticed. 15:12 "Everyone hide. Fiona, go get him" That implies that the workers can actually SEE the Mimic Fiona. or something. But in other logs, it mentions to keep the mimic a secret from the others. Even Mimic Fiona even said that they should keep this all hidden from the others, they wouldn't understand. how strange.
Can't it just be those hallucinogenic transmitter or whatever from the books? Like mcm employees wouldn't know mrs edwin was dead.
it doesn’t act like fiona around anyone besides edwin. they obviously know the mimic endoskeleton exists
@@theopendoorev Well that's outright false based on the tapes and the film reels. This same reel I am talking about, word for word:
"This is great! He's gonna love it!"
"Fiona, did you make this?"
(In Fiona's voice) "I baked it myself... for David's special day."
(no pause or cuts) "Great job. You just continue to surprise me. I think we're ready."
"Ok. Everyone hide. Fiona, go get him. I left him out at the playground."
He literally addresses to "everyone" and in the same line talks to the mimic by addressing them as Fiona
The Mimic wasn't mimicking dispatch, it was F10-N4.
The Parachute Ending is the canon ending.
Chica, Foxy, Roxy and Monty were also rentable and/or purchasable through MCM.
He didn't build the M1 to be a babysitter for David. Especially since they seem to already have a babysitter in Trisha. He built the M1 animatronic to be a copy of Fiona.
The M1 mimics Fiona because that's what it was programmed to do. Edwin used Home videos, and recordings to help create F10-N4.
Edwin is told to build a second Mimic this is true, but the program he was told to finish was the Glitched Permission program for the Cradle.
M2 doesn't destroy the house, it does something that causes a small explosion in Edwin's office inside the house.
Dispatch wasn't being mimicked until around 1am.
As for which December 6th, we have no idea which December 6th David could've died, since there is nothing in game to suggest that it was on a Saturday.
The Secret of the Mimic flat out states that Fiona went to a Fall Fest to help, as well as died there from the fire.
It only takes roughly less a year to build the M1. If we just skip his 4th birthday, the M1 is already present by his 5th birthday.
There are quite a few dates we can track actually:
Sharpey's Order Date: 12/15/75 Pickup Date 3/15/76
Order Form - Best Birthday Co. 01/24/1977
Interoffice Memo Bring Your Child To Work Day 04/23/1974
The mannequins were made in 1972.
Fazbear Entertainment Work Order Extract: Blueprints from MCM Facility 9/07/79
R&D Floor opened up on 07/21/1975
We have the Net Earnings of the MCM from 1965-1975 and even the worst one is only in the red for a little bit. Nothing that would indicate that Murray ran out of money.
Jest Cereal being 47 cents would indicate that those cereal boxes came out roughly 1976 as cereal was 50 cents in 1977 and 45 cents in 1975.
16:16 small problem with this, the workers don’t know about Fiona mimic. There’s both a tape of workers hearing Fiona’s voice and asking if they faked fall fest and one where the Mimic tells Edwin not to tell anyone about her because they wouldn’t understand

14:42 The notice about bring your child to work day being canceled is dated 04/23/1974. If David died on 12/06/1975, why would that notice have been sent out a year earlier? It doesn’t make sense.
Edwin has the “Fred-bear Singing show” poster in the factory, so his father could’ve been in contact with Fazbear, or at least an earlier version of the company, since the 1930’s.
It quite literally changes the entire timeline MatPat spent his life constructing only for Scott to rip it all up
I don't think even scott or steel wool know the story of fnaf atp
matpat knows the full story scott told him
No it doesn't everything is still the same, there's just a contractor now
We got killer a.i at the beginning, killer a.i at the end, and smashed in the middle of it is a bunch of dead kids possessing metal.
I didn't really like his timeline anyways
The whole Afton's wife stuff felt like it came out of nowhere
why did i kinda half expect this lore to be so significant that matpat spawns out of retirement for this?
lol
I think there is still a possibility David could have been born on Dec 6 1970, Fiona would have been pregnant with David during the Fall Fest of 1970 if he was born on Dec 6, 1970, implying "all of us". That would also make sense as to why David isn't with the statue of the man and woman in moon.exe. or, were over reading and when they say "all of us" they mean Edwin, Fiona, and the other employees.
From what i gather, the mimic wasnt mimicking dispatch ALL ALONG
The mimic was mimicking dispatch after a certain point, likely somewhere before Arnold is prompted to give up the schematics.
As in one of the endings, the real dispatch calls in saying they've been triying to reach him for hours, Arnold replies he already gave the mimic schematics, dispatch goes "uhh ... No you didint. You're fired." And then the mimic kills you
Not GameTheory with the false advertisement on what a pull is in ZZZ😭😭
28:02 i think fazbears has always been evil they started as a singing bear act, training animals to do circus tricks like that has been historically been extremely cruel
Fazbears is secretly a cult
@@noahdean9685That’s just a theory…
@@noahdean9685 lol maybe at this point I would be down with it
This game will literally give Matpat a brainstroke if he didn't retire 😭💀
10:54 Never in my dreams would I see ZZZ in Game Theory
Im so dumb I thought that they were going to use it as the image of the character that they were talking about
Can’t wait for them to make a theory on the game
10:25 no the work order was real the replacement happened part way through
Secret of the mimic had me questioning if it was really a good addition to the franchise, but once I saw the ending I new that it was a good game
Just goes to show how important a good conclusion is to a story
Which ending? (There's 3)
The canon ending and the non secret ending
12:05 I got an ad during the ad
BRO ME TOO WTH
I got two 15 seconds unskippable ads at that exact moment
answer: sponsorblock
I got a 60sec unskippable ad every 2min for the entire video...
23:44 I legit smiled and chuckled at what he said until he said he also got engaged and my smile disappeared because I completely forgot Tom was engaged 😅
*Everything i know about FNAF comes from Game Theory.*
Me too mate. *Me too...*
Belive me, there is SO MUCH more that Game Theory never explored yet
oof
The thing is Edwin kept receiving change orders from Fazbear Entertainment and he only EVER mentions Henry "Hen" never William. Meaning Henry was the representative communicating to MCM. He was in on collapsing Murray....
Depending how it really played out, it could be even sadder: Imagine Henry just became friends with Murray to learn things from him to sabotage him. I was hoping for them to be friends because of the same interest in inventing but who knows...
There are text documents signed by WA adressed to the Murray text system so William at the very least is present and active here
There's multiple emails adressed to Murray and signed by William, so no, Edwin did have contact with both of them. Still makes Henry either part of a conspiracy or very much manipulated by William himself.
It could also be that Henry was an engineer at MCM and was just giving the change order to Edwin as a middle man.
Sure but he only mentions Henry specifically in one of them (and that was the one about the springlocks which might’ve been the only genuine one considering how dangerous they are). There’s no reason to assume Henry specifically gave the other orders. Plus, it’s not like William has to give the orders personally; he could’ve just had someone else give them or even got Henry to do it on his behalf (which tbf works whether he knew the plan or not).
The idea that the fazbear crew ended up as non-golden/yellow versions of fredbear and spring Bonnie, the star of a competitor they took over (chica) and one of Murray's most popular characters (foxy?), is really impactful, showing just how much they stole
I think you're right
l 18:50 so just putting this here. david was born at 1969. what also was at 1969? the moon landing.
MOON
Coincidence? i think not!!!!
Also moon.exe
And moon has the same teeth as the mimic and Jacky is the David and David was born in moon landing like moons name who has the teethe
I first laughed cus it sounded like a far reach, but.... Honestly, it's not impossible there's something there.... 😅
The work order in the is not fake, the mimic only takes over the dispatch after you are already inside the facility
15:15 Now that you say that, was Fiona the only person that was around when David died, if everyone else was inside for the party? We aren't ever told HOW David died - it couldn't have been a traffic accident from the warehouse, if everyone was inside. Could Fiona have done something to David, maybe intentionally to make David into a robot like herself or for some other reason? Or do we know David died from falling off the slide?
7:10 instinctively, I said “dad, I want some ice cream”
Yeah this is THE earliest fnaf game chronologically (also Tom PLEASE can you do dark deception theories that game needs tons more recognition and I’d love to hear your theories)
Exactly. Especially with Ch5 releasing soonish
@DontReadMyPicture345 lol to bad to sad i read your name anyway bot.
It's hard to follow this series, but if the pizzeria is beneath the Costume Manor, wouldn't that mean that one of the original games was first chronologicallly?
@supguys4441no that was a prototype pizzeria the only pizza place owned by fazbear entertainment is fredbear’s family diner but also SOTM is before the bite of 83 which before SOTM was the earliest event because we also see half built prototype versions of the animatronics including Monty and then the mimic wears an amalgamation of the scrapped unused prototype animatronic parts
YES.. EVERYONE LIKE RHUS COMMENT SO TOM CAN SEE IT
You keep saying Edwin left when they are VERY clear that M2 broke his legs and left him to die. While mimicking his voice to taunt him.
Tom suddenly becomes batman here 😂 11:20
19:00 "The average person eats 1 kg of ice cream per year, therefore Edwin eats EXACTLY 1.000 kg of ice cream per year."
Game Theory:
It’s been 9 years since the video game INFRA came out…
When will a video be covering it?
Whats INFRA
@@toboyaki_tagarakiit’s a video game where you survey buildings across the fictional city of Stalburg but you start finding out about the secrets of the city and find a bunker hidden by the government
It’s been released since 2016 and still today it’s more mysterious than literally any other game you can think of (even more than FNAF) I’m a INFRA fanatic and I don’t even know the full lore
And with how slow the INFRA lore puzzle is being put together…
We need all the help we can get
@@toboyaki_tagarakiit’s a game where you survey dams and underground tunnels in a fictional city called Stalburg but as the game progresses you start to find secrets and corruption and the lore to the game is almost completely unknown
there are so many bots that have replied to you its crazy
@@avgpotionmakerikr
my theory is that William and Herny created the idea and blueprints for the springlocks and Herny had the ideas for the puppet but they hired MCM to actually build the thing's.
I think MCM mass produced it. I find it hard to believe that Afton didn't make the springtrap suit originally. I think they designed and made the original locations suits and then outsourced to MCM when planning to expand Freddy's
It's not a theory. Afton and Henry made the springlock but mcm mass produced it. Edwin tried to improve the springlocks by making them waterproof. But William probably was too cheap to get them
The Puppet thing is tricky because that could easily just be referring to Fiona’s puppets since that was her whole thing aside character design; so it could easily just be a coincidence or a red herring like Mike being purple in those SL cutscenes.
@@thepixelman4776that wasnt realy a red herring since Michael was literaly dead and rotting, him being purple had actualy story implications
Why does everyone think MCM was mass producing stuff? Edwin’s springlocks were meant to be an upgrade (but were rejected) and Project Fazbear was just proof of concept.
If MCM was really mass producing stuff, we would’ve seen the stuff they were mass producing.

“My name is Edwin I made the mimic, it was difficult to put the pieces together”
I didn’t expect Ju Fufu to pop up on my screen suddenly, I thought that the editor pulled a prank-
I think it's odd you do a video on Edwin Murray yet miss the audio you get about Edwin literally begging the mimic for help.
I think M2 has been mimicking Murray during the day hence why M1 thinks the family can be reunited. Murray may literally be a corpse in one of the costumes.
To truly factor in the timeline of events for fnaf, you have to factor in that Edwina son became a ghost within the factory which btw, did not possess the mimic as we know that fnaf 1 kids did, but also the fact that Edwina son is also tiger rock. As you start getting closer to where the tiger rock's room can be found, Edwina son starts showing himself as his favourite toy and starts showing himself more frequently as well.
It's also important to note that it's not made clear enough on if or how Edwin's has possessed the M1 mimic or she ended up being the mxes thing or both.
I'm wondering if one of the first bad interactions with Afton might have been poaching Henry from Murray? Would also explain why Hen stops being a friend to Edwin.
10:48 context theory
Fnaf the moment Matpat is fully retired: “Let the galaxy BURN!”
You missed that in the second ending Arnold gets stuffed into a animatronic
10:30 I thought the order to retrieve the Mimic schematics was legit, but m1 hijacked the radio to get Arnold to hand them over to her instead
Something I find interesting about SOTM is the company was already called Fazbear Entertainment
We assumed that it started with Fredbear's Family Dinner & then was rebranded to Fazbear, but NO, it was always Fazbear!
Lol we always knew that
They DID say "Something I find interesting..." not "I just found out...". They're just giving their own opinion, everyone knows THAT. 🤦🏾♀️
Over a million viewers wanted to watch a video about theories on a game series that consists entirely of animatronics screaming at you.
I think Willy A deliberately changed Edwin’s original design of the springlocks to be a death trap instead of a stylized exo-suit
