just curious but does anyone have Dollie Hospital and Big Top Boss chase mapped out?

most of the game is accessible except for boss chases, but on notable is the boiler room/ Dollie chase area gets closed off even though it looks back to the office.

neither of these fights (and Jackie’s chase in vents) are featured in the map. Has anyone been able to map out the full facility yet? I think steel wool did an amazing job keeping it to scale and was curious were these chases were held in the giant building and still be able to loop around

I finished SOTM (except the collectible ending because I don't have the patience to replay the game and find all of them), and as someone who loves looking for bugs in games that I play, here's some random bugs that I had when doing my playthrough.

Note that none of these bugs are recorded! I have no proof that they actually happened other than my (and occasionally my friends) own witness—and accidentally gaslighting someone I'm helping play the game into thinking that something was meant to go one way but was, in fact, not meant to go that way.

Bug #1:

This one was consistent throughout my entire playthrough. It isn't something entirely important, just a little bit of missed cleaning up. I would say about ninety percent of the time, whenever I left any of the H.E.L.P.E.R. stations, the program would end like it was supposed to, and then re-open while the Data Diver wasn't in plugged in. So far, I've only just started to watch NightCove_theFox's playthrough (with plans of watching Markipliers's, Jacksepticeye's, and Backseat Gaming's afterward), and I've noticed she's had the same bug.

Bug #2:

This one is one of my favorites: the Mimic completely disappearing from a place he's supposed to be! That one made me laugh a little too hard. At one AM, when you have to get Fiona's tape for repairing the elevator, he disappeared entirely. When I left the room, he spawned in at the lobby. But after I entered the code and grabbed the tape, he was just... gone. He wasn't wandering around, he wasn't switching into new costumes, he was just entirely gone. I tend to be paranoid when it comes to horror games, so I was still sneaking around and setting toy mice to lure him away from the door, but he wasn't even there. There were no footsteps, there was no moving costumes, there was no voice box ambiance. He completely disappeared, and I would've thought it was entirely intentional if it weren't for the person I was helping out.

Bug #3:

Before I went to Big Top's showroom, I went back to Jackie's showroom to explore (and proceed to freak out because I went somewhere I wasn't supposed to). According to my friend who was watching me play, Jackie's box was supposed to stay where it was when she broke out of it. And in a sense, it was—except it was entirely invisible. The box was gone, replaced by an invisible wall where her box was meant to be. Oh, and Digityper was fine! I could see him since the box was gone. He was standing there, still shredding random papers, talking about how snip-snappy he could make deliveries. He was no longer dead on the ground far below. He was perfectly fine, still blabbering to himself. I got a kick out of that one.

All of these were either my favorites or something consistent, but I noticed a lot more! If requested, I will definitely share more. I love trying to break games—hence why Security Breach is one of my favorite games to replay when I'm bored—so I tend to notice a lot of bugs, whether big or small.

Heck it, I'm feeling a little insane right now

I present to you:

These playing cards designed to drive me, and me alone absolutely INSANE.

On the left, are these cards that are found in Arnold's van in SotM, and on the right, Mystic Hippo's cards from Help Wanted 2.

While Arnold's deck has normal suits, Mystic Hippos have Freddy's characters on the other side.

But that isn't what drives me crazy. What drives me crazy is this:

I rest my case.

(Also, when the card has the sun side up, it has a smile. When the moon side is up, it has a frown. Tragedy and comedy, anyone?)

Who Made The Daycare Attendant? (Part 1: Main Speculation)

SPOILERS FOR SECRET OF THE MIMIC!!!

I gave it some thought and came to the conclusion that whatever happened to the Data Diver after Secret Of The Mimic, it resulted in the creation of the Daycare Attendant alongside Mimic's current design as of Ruin. Both of them are deeply intertwined, as the game has revealed to us, and the Data Diver is essential to both of them.

Moon.exe is a program that can only be accessed with the use of the Data Diver. Same with the Mimic's blueprints, among other things. We now know that the Data Diver is also a predecessor to the Faz Wrench, which we use on the Daycare Attendant ourselves. This is important to the programming of the Daycare Attendant and Mimic. It is also important to F10-N4's attempt to try and fix the evil Mimic, which is something I must mention due to the fact there are two possible canon endings to the game.

The first candidate for the canon ending is the one where we (Arnold) give F10-N4 the Faz-Wrench unknowingly, believing her to be our dispatcher. You know, the one where we die at the end because the Mimic comes after us either way. The second possible ending would be the one where we escape with the Data Diver, only to have the Mimic hunt us down, crash our van, and take the Data Diver from us. The first ending gives us closure that the device ended up in F10-N4's hands, where she'd use it to try and repair the Mimic. The second ends with us having no clue where the Mimic takes it next. We don't know if it even leaves the facility now that it has freedom and the device it wanted. I assume that in the ending where we give F10-N4 the device, it returns to the facility in an attempt to track the Data Diver down or do other things, since it would rely on the factory for its survival at that point. Regardless of who gets it, someone ends up having access to the Mimic's blueprints and Moon.exe.

It's really hard for me to decide which of those two endings I think are canon. We know Mimic doesn't get fixed, but that doesn't necessarily mean F10-N4 didn't get the device. We need to keep in mind that she thinks Edwin is alive. As far as we know, he isn't, though that could be a red herring that reveals he is later or something. But she seems to be waiting for Edwin to come fix him, since she'd need someone to have that physical form to be able to do so. Someone who can find him, hold him down, and fix him, which we know doesn't happen. This means that ending could very well be canon.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I think that one is the canon ending. For one thing, I'm not sure if Arnold would be able to pick up on the fact that the dispatcher is acting unusual. At the very least, I don't think he'd bat an eye at their behaviour even if he did pick up on it. He's a very tired employee who wants nothing more than to finish his job and get home to his wife, whom he hasn't seen in over 30 hours. He is probably used to Fazbear Entertainment's shadiness. He probably wouldn't have the mental energy to think about the strangeness. So, I actually believe he listened to "the dispatcher's" orders and gave the Data Diver right to F10-N4, only to be brutally murdered by Mimic when he escapes. I think this means the Mimic murdered him out of spite and went back to the factory to try and get his nasty metal hands on the Data Diver.

So, going off my assumption that this is the true ending...what happens next? How does the Daycare Attendant come to be? How does Mimic end up as his current self, who is much different in design than we see in Secret Of The Mimic?

Well, as I said, F10-N4 cannot repair the Mimic on her own, nor can she effectively do much to stop it. Someone else would have to come into the picture eventually. We do know that someone does...eventually. We know someone will set up M.X.E.S in the future, and that Mimic effectively is trapped under the Pizzaplex thanks to that technology. So...is this individual responsible for the creation of the Daycare Attendant? Do they use the Data Diver and use Moon.exe in its creation? If so, how do they end up in the hands of Fazbear Entertainment as a theatre bot until they become the Daycare Attendant?

I think another technician could have possibly been sent. Fazbear is pretty pissed that we lost the Data Diver, and they pursue it relentlessly. We know it does end up in their hands at some point, going on to become the Faz-Wrench later on. This, naturally, would give them access to Moon.exe. It might not be a technician, but it is more than likely an employee, at the very least. Or...maybe Henry?

I theorize F10-N4 kept the Data Diver out of Mimic's reach and protected it until someone came along and helped her set up M.X.E.S. This individual, as I said, would be someone working for Fazbear Entertainment. I think in this case, she'd realize she'd have to come clean to them about everything going on down there. It would have to be someone with an open mind and an open heart, willing to help her stop the Mimic from killing anyone else.

This individual would likely be tasked with using the Data Diver to program the Daycare Attendant (before he became the Daycare Attendant) using Moon.exe. But...where does Sun come in? What about the blueprints for the Daycare Attendant's body? Never mind that...what about Eclipse?

Well, I think that's where F10-N4 comes in once again. Although she cannot physically create the endoskeletons or hardware in general, she can come up with blueprints and designs of her own. We know that she is represented by a sun. Perhaps, while she lay in wait for someone to one day return to the factory, she designed the Daycare Attendant's blueprints. On the outside, they were probably designed to be performative animatronics, with mechanisms that made them switch personas. However, I'm sure she'd have more of a reason to make them. Something pertaining to the Mimic, mayhaps? Or maybe something representational? Maybe Sun's purpose was supposed to cancel out a (Mimic?) virus or malfunction in Moon...but failed.

One important thing to note is that the Mimic's endoskeleton is much different in Security Breach than it is in Secret Of The Mimic. It doesn't even look like the same base at all, even if it still has the ability to shapeshift, remove and upgrade parts, and whatnot. If you look closely, you can see it has the same teeth that the Daycare Attendant's endoskeleton has. This was one of the first hints people had to link the two together. Maybe F10-N4 tried again to design a new body as well, or even other animatronics. Hell, maybe it was originally supposed to be a new body for herself. But maybe something went awry, and the Mimic managed to install itself into this body's hardware. Or, maybe the Daycare Attendant was built in a place that just had those style of parts lying around, and the Mimic merely stole them and upgraded itself or built itself a body, as the Daycare Attendant's body clearly has a ton of upgraded technology it would probably want to snag for itself (flexibility, transformation, etc).

Regardless of everything I said, we do know this: the Mimic and the Daycare Attendant are linked. Linked by their design, their origin, and by the Data Diver. Somewhere along the way, that Data Diver was tapped into and used by Fazbear Entertainment. The Daycare Attendant ended up in their hands as well, while the Mimic was sealed off below their old pizzeria and the Pizzaplex as a whole.

That all said, I actually just realized one thing that changes my theory a little bit. Well, it changes part of my theory. But that will be made in my Part 2: Addendum post!

@naffeclipse

I’m looking at you respectfully because if you ever publish a book esp with your OCs, I want to go buy it!!

y’all ever read a fanfic that you cannot believe an author just wrote for free?? what an honor it is to read a piece of someone’s soul they shared out of nothing but love for a piece of media. what a privilege it is to be allowed their talent because you share an interest!!

NEVER GIVE UP

what am I supposed to do with the information about Edwin being the inventor of recycling in the FNAF universe honestly

[foundmars]

life in your hands

[foundmars]

same goals

[foundmars]

it tells me Everything i need to know about edwin that in the film reel from davids first birthday(i think its the first) when he takes the foxy puppet fiona made and loudly does the 'arghh' thing and it causes david to cry a little and fiona tells him 'youre scaring him' edwin doubles down. he dismisses fiona and actually starts the pirate growl thing louder which only causes david to cry louder.

[foundmars]

has anyone done this with their dess design yet

[foundmars]

i like how its becoming apparent in the new chapters that kris is actually pretty emotional and demonstrative (and has always been) and they just have a player-induced flat affect that makes people think they're reserved or aloof or whatever. can we get more of them being an impassioned little weirdo
