Let me know what you think of this theory in the comments below! We're straying away from Cassie's Dad in this theory as there are a LOT more connections to Vanessa than we first thought! I'll try to answer every question I can, so if you want to ask any question or pose another idea, make sure to do that and I'll take a look at it!

So one thing that kept bugging me you said that we don’t see glitchtrap in the real world only augmented reality, but where we see him to get the puppets are with the mask off so I’m confused about that. Yes it doesn’t make sense for glitchtrap to have a physical body, but the games we play happen with the mask off which is supposedly the real world

There are some "BIG" contradictions about your Secret Ending theory: The first one is about the door the Princess open in the PQ3. It´s a mirror version of the door Glitchtrap locks Vannessa behind in Help Wanted 1. So by opening it, we free Vannessa from her imprisonment. The other thing is what "Old Man Consequences" says at the beginning of PQ4: "You are Won. And you remain". Too me it sounds like: You´ve won, but you´re still here and what´s left to do? Simple question: To destroy glitchtrap and what do we do in PQ4? We find Glitchtrap and we destroy him (Okay, a giant Vanny does that).

No one tried stabbing the machine for the secret ending. Even Ratuz had 8 endings.

Something that peaked my interest was that in the backroom with the take your vanni mask off poster, this makes me think that maybe matpats theory about the cult of glitchtrap coming to fruition (I honestly hope it does, that would be awesome), also the ending with vanny and moon dropped confused me, to me it looks as though vanny either killed glitchtrap or perhaps absorbed him, but if vanny is the dark side of Vanessa’s mind corrupted by glitchtrap why wouldn’t show her being the one to do it, wouldn’t it make for sense if Vanessa was the one who destroyed gltichtrap as revenge for infecting her with the glitchtrap virus and possessing her.

Great vid! The only question is about the secret ending. If we are playing as Vanessa during Princess Quest 4 why would she then say “this looks familiar “ when we find the Bonnie mask? I doubt that it is connecting her to the Vanny mask because she would say something like “this seems similar”. Familiar means that she has seen it before. So when would Vanessa have seen the Bonnie mask before and why would it be significant to her?

WHO IS THE KING IN PRINCESS QUEST???? The king literally tells the princess, to go to sleep! Just like the candy cadet story. Candy cadet story and princess quest are the same story told. But who is the king then in princess quest telling here to sleep?(he tells her in the 2nd story, 3rd story we are literally playing help wanted 2 in the game!) We are in princess quest 3 playing the new princess quest... crazy

Ive been looking at FNAF, like Inception. How many “levels” deep are we going. When you’re in a game, that has VR, an theres simulation inside of simulations, who knows whats real anymore.

Honestly, I feel MUCH BETTER with the FNAF story with the idea that the Mimic is the Big Bad, and not Afton. Evil Rogue AI is somehow easier to comprehend than Evil AI William Afton

I think everything from helpi, glitchtrap, and the physical mimic are all the same exact line of code. I think they are working for the same goal, but they are just different branches of the mimic.

YES, since the game first came out I’ve been theorizing / arguing that the different events the player expirences in the game may be representations of the lived events of actual characters, as so many of them seem to along so clearly with one character or another but none all the same.

Maybe they’ll make a dlc that will help better explain the story of help wanted 2.

In hw2, we play as cassies dad, not Vanessa, because why would the bonnie mask be important for her

Seriously, I think this game has the hardest story and lore to solve. Still dunno what does this game means precisely, and still this is all twisted in my head. But due to you and the other theorists, Scott's grand puzzle getting be solved. Thanks for the video!

It's a good "out of the box thinking" theory. But I think this game might be a little bit more straight forward than this. Making it that the Normal (Staffbot giving mask) ending is something Mimic "rewards you with" from an event it saw, to me is a bit too convoluted. A big point also is why we get told that the Faz-Wrench "is familiar to you". If we would play as Vanessa, why would it be? She doesn't have anything to do with those. Cassie also says that her Dad build and used them, that's why she was familiar with them. Same with the Bonnie mask. Also and I think this could fit pretty well here, it would make more sense if we do play as Cassie's dad, as simple as it is. The video we are getting shown about the Transformer-style figures also looks like a ad that would've played around the time where the Crying Child incident happened, since they also played with a Toy Chica, so figures like that wouldn't be out of the question to exist. It would seem more fitting for someone that would've been more in the age of Foxy/Bonnie Bro to collect these, since they are not that child like of a toy. Cassie's dad is also missing for quite some time. If he went to the Pizzaplex and becoming the unwilling "consciousness" of the mask bot, then it would make more sense why we would see it, as a "unknowing reunion" between Cassie and her missing dad, which she doesn't know that her dad got mind transfered into the mask bot. And we saw the mind transferring mentioned in Help Wanted one, in the intro ride with all the pictures and at the end of Help Wanted, transferring your mind into Freddy, not becoming Freddy, but just being behind his lifeless eyes as a spectator. Basically like the Black Mirror Episode with the Woman being inplanted in her Husbands head, seeing what he see's but not able to to anything about it, kinda deal. I think that would make quite a bit more sense that way. Since Steelwool seem keen on telling other people's stories, instead of just from one guy and tying those ends. We know the story of Michael, William, Henry, the dead kids and what happened, but Bonnie Bro is one from that story, that we haven't touched before. All those characters have gone through tragedy and being a helping hand in the Crying Child incident is definitely something that would develop trauma, which he never got resolved and we are doing now.

The princess quest doesnt make sence because cassis dad is the one that beats the game and take Vanies place.

Nice work, think you explained that very well. Saw some other creators try to take things too literally and it didn't quite make sense

Seeing your theory makes me realize something, I still think you’re playing Cassie’s dad, but maybe when you play the princess quest ending, you’re releasing Vanessa from glitch trap/the mimics control and helping the mimic take control of a new person, Cassie. And her dad was taken over by the mimic when he takes out a part of him and uses him to make the staff bot that gives Cassie the vannie mask. Remember, the dead kids had no control over if they killed others, they were made to believe that they had to protect afton. Well the mimic probably ended up converting more staff into bots (putting a “part” of the employee into the staff bot) and doing the same thing with the new victim’s….

One thing that makes me thing the princess isn't at least comrpletely Vanessa is that in another theory they told about the old file name for the princess being Cassidy, as in the vengeful spirit/Golden Freddy meaning that Cassidy has to be somewhat connected or even be the princess even if the princess is representung Vanessa she's also related to Cassidy in some way

I had a dream afton was virtually flesh and blood, remembered so vividly how to story goes, but he always comeback.

my issues with the normal ending theory the statement of why is Cassie and mask but its a training mask couldn't it just be steel wool showing there ending just like the vanny ending giving you the vanny model for beating the secret ending

I think there are 1-2 more secret endings, try stabbing the machine with the sword.

Nice theory! can't wait to see more from this channel!

Hm, yet another interesting interpretation and these does bring some good points, still I feel like knowing other interpretations might be necessary, before assuming too much.

this can also explain the what makes u so special lines as we can play the 4th princess quest what makes us special

You know what I want to see for a future fnafgame? Since they did pizza plex. I think they should do a full on carnival style.

Hell yeah rem back with a new vid

Well... if your theory is correct it means Vanessa got killed by The Mimic following what Candy Cadet told us. That the woman went back to the forest to get revenge on the with, she followed a little boy to his home so she could rest and then candy cadet says that the boy was the witch and that "she will finally get her meal".

Hey i wanna point something out to you hw2 normal ending confirmed glitchtrap is the mimic. one of the files the endings and staff bot that is controlled by glitchrap is called helptrap meaning glitchtrap is helpi and in ruin we know helpi is mimic so that means glitchrap is just mimic1. And the ending is also called helptrap cuase were helping glitchtrap but in ruin the mask also helps mimic cause there the same code. And in hw2 we know gltchtap is in the vanni mask but in ruin mimic is in the vanni mask cause there the same code *HYPERDROID explained this perfectly*

I am interested to see what you think on the whole Cassie's dad is who we play as theory. I'd like to see an in-depth analysis on how you consider that and how that would play out cuz so far I like your theories. They're very in depth and have a lot of evidence to support said theories

nice cant wait for more videos

amazing video!!

So what you're saying is every copy of Princess Quest is personalized

...but it shows the princess handing the sword to a blue adult male avatar in PQ4...

3:55 Why can't it be real? I genuinely don't get how having a display of the ending means it isn't real.

Is it just me that doesn't see the hand coming out of the recharge station as Glitchtraps? It looks like a normal human hand to me, possibly female because the fingers are so slim. It has no stitch lines but you can see a few lines that would be present on the palm of a hand and it has a pinky hue like skin.

Music? 0:01

The mimic being glitchtrap ruins everything

wait but the mimic cant reconnect to vennase anyways it was destroyed in ruin. so if princess quest 4s whole point was so the mimic can reconnect. then vennase woldent have came back for pq4 because the mimics gone

Hey bud i suggest you jump back in or maybe take a look at the game code, there are 3 endings and one is called moon man, having trouble trying to force the file to trigger perhaps youd have a better chance

There is a problem with the ending of Princess Quest in this ending glischtrap dies but in ruin glischtrap is alive he is the helpi that helps cassie in ruin and the mask that Cassie wears

We may still be playjng as Vanessa as she is the only character that is related to Princess Quest and she was literally the only human employee left along with the fact that Glitchtrap was shown coming out of the charging station and tge changed staffbots implying he has just took over the Pizzaplex. Moon and especially Baby keep saying "what makes you so special" and why would that refer to Cassie's dad? Plus if we are Cassie's dad then how would he even be there at that time since it is obliviously just before Ruin and we know for a fact that the same person is playing the Prince Quest arcade games, via the dialogue in the code, to free Vanessa and destroy Glitchtrap, a.k.a Gregory. So if anything this points to Gregory being who we play in this game. While things never seem to fit perfectly in theories about FNAF, but with big plot holes like this the answer is definitely not as clear as we think. The only likely people we play as are Vanessa (free from the split Vanny personality) and Gregory. Both likely came back to the Pizzaplex to deal with the remains of Glitchtrap as well as stop the Mimic, were previously under Glitchtrap's control and have a deep connection to him.

Damn ik it's just the the beginning but I'm already full

"Poppet"

I don't 100% agree with the interpretation but it's a good video.

VANESSA ISNT THE PRINCESS, GOLDEN FREDDY IS/CASSIDY IS!!!!!!!! THERES MORE EVID FOR GOLDEN FREDDY THEN VANESSA!!!!!!

We don’t play as Gregory *or* Vanessa in HW2. There’s literally zero evidence to support that. We’re most likely playing as Cassie’s dad. Cassie’s dad had a Faz-wrench, and coincidentally one of the items in the game is a Faz-wrench. Cassie’s dad’s favourite animatronic was Bonnie, and guess which animatronic’s mask we find in Princess Quest 4? And if we are indeed playing as Cassie’s dad, it would make sense why the mask looks familiar

I only wish the game was longer... Its not at all worth $40

Ur amazing.

Hello wall

help wanted 2 makes no sense😭

hey!

Fun Fact: You don't have to play all the minigames to finish the game.

So wait glitchtrap isnt William ive been out of the loop for a while

Wait it isn't Friday

While this content is enjoyable to listen to, I'd prefer to listen to it in order

Wrong

I made the video have 666 likes O-o

FNAF lore is just slop now

Another video, another non-dhmis video. Did you know the word “duck” is signed in the first work episodes farewell retirement card? That throws off all the linguistic theories. Please address it.

Why am i first
