Apologies for the occasional lag seen throughout this video. SB REALLY hated being recorded by OBS on my PC, but there were moments in my recording I really wanted to use.

I love how the one guy that always gives games with bad reputation a chance and is generally so positive and upbeat is the guy who’s persona is a goblin from hell

Skyrim isn't just popular because it's a good game, it's also popular because sometimes the dragon you just killed falls on a guard and when you talk to him he'll say "careful, there's dragons around," while standing in a dragon skeleton

10:28 So, fun fact, that Monty up there is no ordinary Monty. He is a special Monty who fans have affectionately come to name "Giga Monty." Normally, he's up there 'operating' the searchlight, however, if he ever gets down from his perch for whatever reason and becomes alerted to Gregory's position, he will, no matter where you are, no matter whether you are inside Freddy or not, home in on your position in a mad dash with the best pathfinding of any animatronic in the game and will never leave you alone. So your joke about him having eyes like a hawk is not entirely off the mark. :P I strongly empathize with your outlook on flawed games, by the way. It's so strange to me why people can't just enjoy something and have to constantly compare it to what everyone else thinks to derive enjoyment from it.

I actually think Chica has a lot more personality than you think! In the beginning cutscene where Freddy glitches out, you can see Chica look up at him concerned and even run over to him when he collapses. Her dialogue suggests that she’s normally very kind and peppy, with her instead of either demeaning or vaguely threatening Gregory, she says comforting things a lost child would normally wanna hear

Roxy's insecurities about her place in the band really appeals to me when thinking about how there's still some evidence of Foxy around (the cut outs and plushies). She knows she replaced a beloved character, so she tells herself that she's just as liked, if not more. Everyone loves you, you're the best. Because of you can replace someone, then someone else can just as easily take your spot.

The only thing I really have wrong with it is that vanny means pretty much nothing to the story, and I wouldn’t mind something like that normally if not for the fact that vanny was in almost all of the promotional material and before it came out.

This is why I love Pastra, he doesn't constantly complain or be negative, especially in an age where gamers complain about pretty much anything and everything. And he has an upbeat, positive outlook on things. 'Being allowed to enjoy whatever you want', I've never related to something more in my entire life. The absolute cesspool that is the gaming community NEEDS more people like you

One of my most favorite aspects of the game is the soundtrack. I feel like its so underrated. I like how a lot of the sections of the pizzaplex has its own tracks because it adds even more personality to each location. During any time where you are hiding or running from an animatronic, the music is programmed very well to add tension in the right places. I also think the ambient music is well written. Not to mention the iconic main theme that plays throughout the game. Overall an extremely diverse soundtrack! Major props to Allen Simpson and others.

It’s interesting how over the course of this game you take the thing that each animatronic values the most. Roxy’s the most obvious with you taking her eyes, no longer able to see in general, and herself. Monty, you take away his claws, given to him so he can play the Bass. You take away his ability to be in the band. With Chica you take their voice box, but in order to do so you shatter her beak. Without her beak she can’t eat properly.

One thing I think the game definitely missed out on was showing dynamics between the animatronics They have such defined personalities and relationships, yet there's only one moment where we see their personalities be dynamic with each other (Roxxie telling Freddy to get out of her room when she's crying)

10:35 He isn't stuck, he spawns up there. That's Giga Monty, a broken version of Monty that perma-agros, and has better pathing than any other animatronic. If you deload the main stage area when he's there, he'll fall, the game will notice that no one is where he should be, and create a new Giga Monty duplicate. He is very dangerous.

why do the people who love horror and scary shit become the most wholesome people

10:35 fun fact, that monty isn't stuck, he's actually an asset from early development who manned a spotlight which was in gameplay a while back and now he just stays there. he also can be duplicated by unloading the main stage area which makes a copy of the spotlight monty drop below him which is called giga monty, AstralSpiff made a video about this and idk if it's been patched yet

I said this once in the past and I’ll happily say it again. If the pizzaplex was a real place, I’d 100% want to visit it. It looks like such a fun, colourful and diverse place, and I’d absolutely jam along to any of music man’s remixes

“Loving something in spite of its flaws” is a lesson I had to learn the hard way when I was a younger person. I let what other people thought dictate the fanfic I used to write, even if it was at odds with what I wanted to write, because I didn’t want to be seen as writing “OOC” and therefore bad. But I went against myself in doing it. I’m struggling now to fall in love with writing again in general, and it’s sad. I’m in a much healthier place now, having transitioned and starting to get official diagnoses on neurodevelopmental conditions I’ve suspected contributed to my meltdown(s), but I wish I could go back and change things. I wish I could have just…allowed myself to love what I wrote regardless of what others thought.

The main thing I like about sb is that it felt like the first fnaf game in awhile where Freddy felt like an actual big character and not just a freddy to have in the game just because it's called Five Nights at Freddys

My favorite era of this game was right when it came out. Watching FusionZGamer upload videos on it every 30 minutes with each one feeling magical and wonderful was truly amazing.

I honestly just want a day mode, where you can just run through the pizzaplex and have fun with the various games and stuff and explore the public areas.

I can't believe it's been a year since SB was released. This was the game that brought me back to the fandom. Is it messy? Yes but it has it's charms and the glitches are funny. I love this game so much, and has knocked down SL as my number one favorite FNAF game

I’m glad I’ve finally found other people who enjoy Security Breach, I absolutely adore this game (especially the interactions between Freddy and Gregory! Father son goals fr.)

Hey Pastra! I’m someone who is terrified of horror games but endlessly intrigued by them so I mostly experience them through people who actually play them. Like you! And you have quickly become my favourite KZfaqr (never thought I’d have one). Your infinite charm and kindness has really touched me. You’ve now inspired me to be more open to everything and not let my quick judgement of something potentially ruin my future happiness. Life is too short to not look for joy in every corner you can. Thanks Pastra. Hope you have a great day (and all the days after too).

I love how much creativity that FNaF has inspired. The fangames, the theories, the VHS tapes, the alternate universes.

Security breach is like "The Room" Sure, its objectively awful in a multitude of ways, but people are still going to enjoy it regardless of those flaws. In a "It's so bad its good" kinda way or even a sincere way

I love how Pastra tends to look on the bright side of things.

This is the Security Breach video we needed back when it came out. Thank you for this

I've always had the BIGGEST soft spot for security breach because it was the game that brought me into the franchise. There was just something about it that was endearing to me that i couldn't quite pin down, and I'm so happy that this game exists because it has brought so many more people into the franchise that probably wouldn't have without it (like myself). Security Breach has had one of the most positive mini fandoms I've seen in a long time. It's unbelievable how much this single game has affected so many peoples lives. I still adore my old security breach oc i made in 2021. This game is amazing to me and I'm so glad that others share that same opinion. ^^ Edit: fixed spelling and grammar mistakes

I love the key message here: Don't be deterred by someone else's opinion on a game. This hits home as I'm a big fan of titles like Star Citizen, Biomutant or Anthem and I enjoyed these games despite their flaws. Very nice, Mr. Demonman!

Honestly whenever I play a game for the first time, I’m almost always genuinely starstruck and in love with it. While security breach isn’t one of my favorites, it created a super memorable experience that I don’t think I’ll EVER forget

This is such a healthy way to approach things. If you enjoy something there's no reason to look for reasons to hate it like so many people do...

As a wise man once said, "If every Porkchop were perfect, we wouldn't have hotdogs"

the nicest thing about the game, to me, is the fact that the mistakes made werent intentional, or due to not caring. they care SO MUCH about the franchise the small details they put in for fans to find is incredible. they go above and beyond in small but important hidden details so much it is legitimatley inspiring and incredible. the mistakes and buggieness and glitches and the like seem to have been born from inexperience.

Pastra gives every game a chance regardless of public reception and is one of the kindest, most positive, most genuine guys ever. *His persona is also a literal spaghetti demon monster.*

As an artist, it’s so hard not to appreciate every little detail that they put into the game. Like sure it’s kind of rough to play sometimes but like it’s just gorgeous and all the little attention environmental storytelling as well as the characters it’s just as an artistic endeavor. I’m really enthralled by it.

“If everything was perfect, then NOTHING would be” Fuckin’ FACTS

gotta love Pastra's wholesome energy, no pickiness or negativity, guy just talks about the stuff he likes and I'm all for it

How could you say something so controversial, yet so brave? One of the only positive reviews of security breach, and it’s very refreshing to see

My son and I have just finished the game. I avoided it until now because of the buggy mess it used to be. It's really a decent game now. The difficulty spikes and hit box detection still need to be addressed. But I love the closing time / neon / spooky aesthetic. It's like playing hide-and-go-seek in a retro dreamscape that you kind of don't want to wake up from.

I feel like this perfectly sums io my fav horror game: The Evil Within. Mikami got so tired of the bureaucracy of capcom’s push of the bandwagon, that when he genuinely made a passion poject he found quality with… his fans were mad with hate to call it “an Evil thats not resident”

security breach's visuals and atmosphere is what makes it such an enjoyable game in my experience, the daycare section also made for such a memorable first gameplay section and sun and moon's designs are probably my favourite of the entire game. while it definitely can be improved on, i think there's a lot that security breach did well that shouldn't be overlooked (:

The daycare section is easily my favorite part of the game. For me this section felt very immersive. Most of us have been to a place like this when we were younger. And now we’re back but this time it’s dark, there’s no one there besides you and the thing that is hunting you. That sense of familiarity made me more immersed in a fnaf game then I ever had besides help wanted.

I really love your additude. Always trying to find the good in things without ignoring the bad, but just, enjoying the “bad”. It’s like,, old shows with cheesy practical props? I love those! Way more then a cgi body suit. But even then the cgi body suit give this weird uncanny art effect, Cept the underpaid artist bit, could be really fun and interesting. AND IVE WANTED THE PERSONALITY OF THE ANIMITRONICS SO MYCH!!! It makes me really happy. I actually wish Freddy got more upset for having his friends merged with him

what this game lacks in horror, I feel like it is one of the most charming games i have ever played behind stardew valley

There was clearly a lot of effort and passion poured into SB and I think we all know it was meant to be even bigger. All I will say is that I have high hopes for the DLC and am really excited for it.

You got mad guts and dedication for making this and that's much-appreciated. Crazy to believe it's been a year, huh? In a way this kinda feels like the ultimate sequel to your "In Defense Of FNAF 3" video, Springtrap thumbnail and all! You've accomplished so much, dude, it's nuts. Massive props, and here's to a great 2023!

Your abillity to look at the positive side of anything and everything never fails to surprise me. You're cool.

While enjoying somethin despite its flaws is a good message. People also need to understand the other side of that coin. Just because one personally has no problem with those flaws doesn't mean the flaws do not exist. Which is a hole I see a lot of game communities fall into just as much.

As someone who's working on something truly horrific, I am enamored by your character's design, and your reviews and analysis of various horror games. Thanks for giving me so, so many tips on how to make some good content for all to enjoy, and I hope to see you pass the 1 million Sub mark one day

Let me just say, thank you. Over the past few months, you have become my favorite channel on the site due to your endless positivity, and fresh takes on things. Not to mention your Dreams of an Insomniac analog videos, which show how much you understand and appreciate the horror genre. You are smart, kind, talented, and funny, and I eagerly look forward to whatever you do next. Thank you for creating such amazing content, Pastra.

As someone who really liked Security Breach, I was self conscious about enjoying the game. Many people’s other opinion changed my views on the game, making me dislike it. But honestly the game was really good! Despite the lag, bugs, and messy story, I really enjoyed the characters, setting, and honestly everything about it! Thank you for making this video Pastra, this really helped fix my views and helped me realize that I really liked this game! (ALSO SORRY THIS IS LONG MESSAGE-)

One of the most underrated aspects of the game is its music. I absolutely love the soundtrack and how it's used in the game, for example steelwool really pulled a "why do i hear boss fight music" on us

What I love about you is that you're positive. But not just plain old annoying and cringey positivity, you take an optimistic but reasonable look at things and I really appreciate it

Honestly, as someone who likes media that generally gets regarded as 'crappy,' it's nice to see someone stick up for this game. Some of my favorite movies and video games are ones with really low ratings :/ It was neat seeing how much enjoyment you and your friends got out of SB. There's something about having your friends watch you play a game that makes everything 10x funnier even when it should be serious.

I think the main cool thing about Security Breach is the fact is more of a chase-the-player horror then jumpscare like the rest of the FNAF games. Like you have to run for your life while also trying to survive is so much fun. Also, the glitches aren't that bad, I mean people play Skyrim to death and the glitches in that game can be insane. The story of SB is also one of my fav things. Its a good mix between actual dialog and things you find for yourself compared to the older ones where you really had to piece things together.

THANK YOU for making a video like this. Though it was admittedly a strange step for the fnaf franchise and ended up being disappointing compared to what we were promised, I love this game so much for its style, setting and most of all characters. I ADORE that we finally got sentient animatronics with so much personality. People seem to be split on that but I’m in the corner of the fandom that’s craved that for so long, and it’s awesome in this game to finally see that!! Plus, like you said, oh my god the PIZZAPLEX!! I want to go there irl, it’s so cool and there’s so many awesome things to see and do. It does disappoint me that so much of it goes unused during the game, but it’s still really cool for me to see and explore, like you said. It makes me sad the amount of hate this game gets for being different from the rest of the series, and while I do COMPLETELY understand people being so disappointed with this game, especially after it showed so much promise and didn’t really live up to the hype, I still adore the game we did end up with. And they have done a really good job with the updates to make game more stable and user-friendly! Tbh my only real complaint, out of the whole game, is Mazercise. Just. Mazercise. 😐and Vanny being barely present when she was hyped so much, but I digress. It deffo has its flaws but I do still love this game.

That quote at the beginning is worthy enough of a donation! But also, this video is absolutely needed, in a sea of negativity towards the game, it's refreshing to find someone who does criticize the game but still loves it regardless, and isn't afraid to speak his mind publicly about it. True Gamer Moment!

Yeeessss!!!! I'm autistic and security breach is my special interest, and it gets me down a little when people are so mean about this game or act like I'm a fake fnaf fan because I love it so much, so I'm so happy to see some positive content about it! thank you!

Security Breach is just one of those games where it has a lot of love and potential, made by a passionate team, but it was bogged down by overambition, which is a shame! That said, I love the concept and idea of this game! It's nice to see something of a positive review for this game!

I know that SB has a bit of a not so stellar reputation, but I've seen fantastic animations and other related content that shows that there are people out there that do enjoy the game despite it's flaws. Seriously! People pour their hearts and souls into the content that they make based off of this game. I'm glad that there are some people who are still willing to to make content based off of the game after it's release, even if it didn't quite live up to most people's expectations. It may be flawed, but I can tell that there are some people who did enjoy it for what it is. Plus....Ruin. The Ruin DLC was amazing!😊

I've been a fnaf fan since the first launch, but I have anxiety that prevents me from playing most fnaf titles due to unexpected jumpscares. SB was the first fnaf game I could play all the way through, and I loved every second of it! The characters and atmosphere are so fun and spooky, and although the gameplay is pretty broken sometimes, it's still so lovable and rewarding. After all these years of watching people play the games, I got to play too because I could usually anticipate when jumpscares might happen (except mapbot who I love lmao). I know some of these things are complaints for others which is totally fair, but I love this game so much

I love Security Breach, but not as a FNaF game, but as a hilarious experience. I don't know why, but the Daytime section made me feel the most immersed I've ever felt in a game. And I play VR almost every day, but something about Daytime and a couple other places are just so splendidly created that I can't help but live myself into them

SB brought me back into the fnaf fandom after two years of being unaware of what was going on in the fandom. I wasn’t aware that Scott had stepped back until a few months after the announcement, and I didn’t even learn of his controversy until a few months after SB came out. Hell, I didn’t even find out about SB until the day it came out. I guess what I’m trying to say is that, yeah, it’s launch was a disaster and it definitely is not perfect, but I still like it because it brought me back in the fandom after so long.

When I was a kid I had a recuring nightmare of being chased through a McDonald's playplace by a monster that was different every time I had that nightmare. I was so suprised when I saw that the daycare section almost perfectly mirrored my childhood nightmares, which made me love it even more!

It's flawed, but it made my childhood when it released. I grew up playing the og fnaf games, and I never thought we'd ever get a "leave the office and explore the building" fnaf game. This game is still so interesting to me, and there's so much for fnaf lore-enjoyers. It was so reminiscent of Chuck E Cheese's, a place I used to go as a kid. I loved the scary parts, the chase scenes, and the general exploration. Some of the bugs were frustrating, but most were just funny imo.

Finally someone who accepts the flaws of SB, put them aside and just enjoy playing it ! A messy but 100% passionate game !

I'm so glad you're saying this, SB was my first fnaf game I was truly invested in playing (I'm currently getting the platinum trophy for it), it's very enjoyable and you basically just put my thoughts into a video, and I'm glad that creators like you and Astral Spiff are talking about it positively. The sun and moon portion of the game was so scary to me that I pathed out the optimal routes to get all the generators which is something I'd never tried before in a video game (I did this in November when it released)

Pastra is the light of happiness in the bitter world of game reviews channels

this game is campy in all the right ways, as I watched both MatPat's and Markiplier's play throughs I fell more and more for this game and now I wish there was a PizzaPlex, it looks like so much fun. And the animatronics would be so fun to meet.

so far, the scariest encounter I've had is with decommissioned chica. I hate turning a corner and seeing chica just standing there. the game might not be extremely scary, but it has some extremely tense moments.

Pastra over here only speaking FACTS

This is one of my all time favourite games! There’s so much to explore and fun to have, bugs and all! Being able to explore an entire retro-stylized pizzeria is just an amazing feeling.

Since the Movie released, I have finally decided to indulge in FNAF as a whole, and I’m EXTREMELY happy I did. Security Breach was the first game I played, and I completely love every aspect of it, in the same vein as you do.

The rare video of someone making a positive review on security breach, keep up the good work

Your positivity is absolutely contagious and I highly appreciate it, especially on topics like these. In my heart there are things that I like about SB, but I was probably afraid to admit that to myself. Shine on, you positive ray of sunshine. ^w^

This is EXACTLY how I felt about scarlet and violet. It had so many "glitches" and definitely ran slower than it should've, and yet that didn't detract from the feeling of openness, the genuine excitement I felt to explore more, and the joy I felt when finding a new mon. And I got a lot of flack for enjoying S/V. I'm getting security breach this week as a gift from a friend, and I'm SO excited to play it. IDC if it is a mess, I haven't even played it yet and I know it's gonna be my favorite.

Fun fact: DJ Music Man makes the boss music we hear when facing him. Imagine being a boss and literally making your own boss music. Takes a real spin on the meme "why do I hear boss music?"

I know SB wasn't as scary as we hoped, but I think it has its own style of horror that only a few can see. Think of it, you're playing as a kid stuck in a mall where a killer rabbit (despite lacking presence) is hunting you. The mall is so big that it'd actually make you a little bit paranoid while moving around since she could be anywhere. Not to mention that there are several animatronics coming after you, and your only friend in the whole place is a robot bear. I believe SB gives off a subtle sense of monophobia and claustrophobia if you look close enough.

I overall enjoyed Fnaf SB, because it's the first official Fnaf game that is free roam, and it seems to open a new era of Fnaf, instead of using the traditional gameplay style. I'll admit the lore to it is a little complex, but I overall enjoyed it. I would give the game a solid 8/10. The DLC is what I'm excited to see, and hopefully, it'll give Security Breach the chance it deserves. Steel Wool is still an amazing company for making Help Wanted, and they deserve to be involved with Fnaf. Fnaf will always have a special place in my heart as the #1 best Indie horror franchise.

While Security Breach isn't the scariest game, i feel like the down time we have between these sections of horror makes them better. You're just strolling around, hiding from roxxy and the others then suddenly the daycare section happens and you have to run for your life. Got to the arcade and music area? Seems fun. Then the dj chases you. The breaks just make those moments more tense as you've had time to relax

Thank you! I am so glad that there are a lot more people than I expected, who actually love this game! I love this game so much! Security Breach is my favourite FNaF game and I started playing it about 1-3 months after watching lets plays, in the lets plays the KZfaqrs did not go where I wanted to go, so when I got to play Security Breach myself, I could go where I wanted, and it was so amazing, this game is so amazing! Why I love this game so much is because, basically a lot of the content inside of the game gives me nostalgia, such as the music. Oh, and oh boy is the music AMAZING. I am not just talking about the main theme and Daycare, but I believe that the composers (Leon Riskin and Allen Simpson) did a fantastic job on the music and ambience. The soundtrack known as Otherworldly Ambience 1: plays in the background around the darker areas, such as the Loading Docks, Deep Ambiance 2 plays mostly in Roxy Raceway I believe, there are so many soundtracks. I would also like to mention that basically all of the soundtracks are bangers and they make me happy when I listen to them, they also give me nostalgia. I could make a list, I have a playlist of my favourite but I am gonna list more details why I love this game. The story not being complete never really bothered me that much as the game was so perfect. As of right now it is my favourite FNaF game and unless the DLC or a future game is better it will stay that way. I like the gameplay and it is so fun that you can upgrade your stamina and speed by collecting collectibles (Fizzy Faz and the Shoes). I also like Glamrock Freddy's personality a lot and how he is so nice towards Gregory. I also love the Pizzaplex as so much attention to detail was put in and even more was left in the files (sadly). The fact that basically everywhere you looked you could find details. It was so incredible! With the update logs the game only got better (well they did add some bugs but lets forget that), for example, in the second patch they added a bunch of voicelines that where either new or unused. It is so fun hearing a new voiceline you have not heard before, although I believe I have heard all the voicelines at this point. I remember looking at the notes in the Staff Silo (before Matpats next theory at the time) and I noticed the note that said YOU ARE AFTON FAMILY, or something like that. I remember I shared it with my friends (I remember them not caring I believe😂). This game is just so amazing with it's details, you often find new details when you replay the game. I remember reading the second big update's patch notes and saw that they said that a screen in the Build A Mangle room that showed a Helpy Error message had been fixed to something else, so when I get there it was just static 😂. I believe there is too much to be said about this game and how much I love it so I will just end it with saying that I highly respect the effort the developers and composers have put in 😄 Oh and thanks for this video, it made me really happy!

Yes, all of this. I know SB didn't exactly fulfill the expectations that the community had for it, but It still seems like a genuinely entertaining experience with amazing visuals despite its plethora of flaws. In fact, it's one of my favorite installments of the series as a whole. I love the vastness of the mall and its aesthetic even if it isn't exactly "scary" in the traditional sense, though it can be argued that the liminal feeling of being in a mall that huge alone is terrifying on its own. Even now, the devs are still working to patch things up bit by bit. I know we all would have loved if Security Breach was completely bug-free upon launch, but then we wouldn't have had the chance to see all the hilarity in its glitches. Glitches are amusing. Though the literal game-breaking ones aren't so fun, they are still getting fixed, and I feel they'll all be in the end. But in any case, SB is definitely not a perfect masterpiece, but enjoying the ride and seeing all it has to offer? That's the true beauty of it.

Fnaf Security Breach holds a very special place in my heart. I discovered it in a time of trauma where all i really had to keep me under control was my TV and laptop, which I used to watched Fnaf SB letsplays. It may not be my favourite game ever, but it means so much to me. It was also what got me more into fnaf, and was the first fnaf game I've ever fully watched through a lets play series of. Dont be ashamed of liking something just because its highly contested. (I also appreciate how liminal Security Breach feels, as it adds to the atmosphere i think.)

I love Security Breach. It brought something new and exciting to the table. It brought free roam, as well as new locations, and charming personality, as well as horror. I wanna add on how much the location added onto the horror. Being something so small in a place so big can cause anxiety and that feeling of the uncanny valley. Everything feels so lively while being dead inside as well. You also have that sense of terror when you acknowledge the atmosphere, which feels very misleading and very ominous. I agree with everything you said in this video, and I also look forward to the DLC.

The thing I was most excited for in security breach was experiencing the ominous ambience of being alone in such a titanic building. They portrayed this incredibly well in some earlier trailers but the final game I found kinda lacked it due to unrealistic architectural design choices and the like. The location itself was what really had me hooked. And it pains me to say that it really doesnt make too much sense as a location. Ive sorta been on-and-off designing my ideal fnaf location. Taking what I had hoped the pizzaplex would be and adding even more on. Who knows? Maybe itl be a fangame someday.

The game overall is very enjoyable but I gotta say my favorite part is that they nailed the look of Burntrap

HE IS BACK, you are my favorite KZfaq right now just because of the amount of time and effort you put into these vids. I will never think that any of your content as a letdown and you need way more attention for what you do. Keep going strong

This power point presentation was REALLY cool! :D

Security breach has had a special place in my heart ever since i first played the game, and im so glad that you share the same sentiment that i do. You're one of my favorite fnaf/horror content creators and i always have a blast watching your videos, so this one really put a smile on my face.

OMG FINALLY someone says something about this!!! THANK YOU PASTRA!!! I ADORE security breach despite it not being a flawless product with Scott LITERALLY feeling so pressured as to make a mini-game to fill in the gap while he was working on it to avoid the wrath of his fanbase. This challenge was even more than a SEASONED creator was prepared for and as an artist who can't use 3D software to save her life unless EVERYTHING is prebuilt and just meant to be adjusted slightly, I can only imagine what hell went into the development of this game from sculpting the models to the HUNDREDS of light sources in MULTIPLE colors, to the various reflections and their intensities of the floors, walls, statues, windows, etc. I can understand why so many fans were disappointed after it was delayed so many times but for me, the attention to detail is what made EVERYTHING worthwhile. While watching the trailers ALONE I could see SO much love dropped in from the games previous as well as the book series and I'm talking ALL the books up to that point, as someone who's been a fan of the series since I was in my tweens and actually saved up ALL my allowance money to get myself the books, or received them as gifts from family, those little details meant a lot, even non-canon characters got some love which again, made my little fnaf loving heart so happy! Also for those who didn't notice, the hand-drawn art style on the sides of the arcade machines some of the posters, and even the comic book cutscenes look really similar to the art style of the graphic novels leading me to believe that some of the same comic artists might have gotten to work on an actual game instead of just the books! Again as someone wanting to work professionally in a cartooning/design field this is very cool to me. There is just so much LOVE oozing from this game from how almost every tiny action like picking up an item or pushing a button is either a reference or a new clue in the ongoing story of the series. I love that they kept the hungry Chica meme going from 'Help Wanted' tasteful fanservice is always a RAPID way for a movie or game to appeal to me lol. The character's personalities are GREAT and I really wish Glamrock Freddy was my dad after finishing this game... all the line deliveries of the characters are TOP NOTCH! And NOBODY can deny how TERRIFYING the moondrop chase segment is... The little clicking noises along with those red eyes and HUGE grin that never leaves his face in the pitch black as he can dance and fly through the air or scuttle about behind or next to you is just NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOO THANK YOU!!! Other than the elements of horror that were mentioned I feel that the bright and colorful exterior of both the characters and environments are EXACTLY the point. This is meant to be the future of Freddy's entertainment style, less scary, more flashy but of course there is something evil and rotten hidden underneath it all. I think that's the whole meaning of the series just being given a new refreshing take on a story of evil and murder that is learning to hide itself better and better as time goes on. Hell by the end of the series I feel that the tones will actually end up meshing how the desire for success and the evils of literal murder can be just as bad as each other, the desires to do horrible things to people in order to get what you want whether being money or just getting back at someone who wronged out or even falling into something dark without even realizing it. Only time will tell... As for the issues with lag or glitches... I can't put a ton of input into this as I'm not as much of a tech person and sadly don't get to play as many games as I used to thanks to work, however, something tells me that a game that is meant to be played in multiple versions and on multiple products, I.E. pc vs laptop vs VR vs PlayStation vs X-box, etc. that even a single disk or download trying to conform itself to a single device or player when its made for multiple can be challenging for a developer or technician. Again, not an expert on this and PERFECTLY accept that any buggy game can be an issue for a player if there are any tech-based gamers please feel free to correct me or add to this! I also may ask a couple friends and family who work in technical fields to see if they can confirm or deny my thoughts and I can update this part of the comment later. I also have to agree with you on this Pastra, the fact that we have an open-world horror game for the fnaf series ESPECIALLY one so HUGE is amazing and probably hard to manage in a technical sense... though I won't deny... IT IS A PAIN TO NAVIGATE AND I KEEP GETTING LOST AND DYING!!! (buuuuuuut that might just be cause I'm bad at using the map or bad at navigating in general cause the same would happen when I played hollow knight...) I'm not as much of an explorer when it comes to gaming and more of a story person than anything. However, a game with diverse options for all players is awesome and I can see how secret seekers and completionists would completely eat this game up! I do think that the toxicity surrounding this game like most fandoms... is overblown and it genuinely makes me sad that people either want to bandwagon onto something negative because it's popular or trending or because they feel an optimistic outlook on something might get snuffed out. I appreciate your positive outlook on the glitches and how entertaining they can be! Your optimism and passion are nothing short of something to not just be admired but for any creator or person in general to strive for! Awesome video! (Sorry for the length as usual and if anyone read this far thank you so SO much!) Merry Christmas Pastra! God Bless!

Bruh I was gonna do something similar, Security Breach is honestly my #1 guilty pleasure game, friggin love it. I might use this video as a source of inspiration

I really enjoy the sun and moon animatronics, to me they're different from the rest of the animatronics in fnaf, there design isnt animal like, but it isnt entirely human like either And there personalities, though it isnt shown much, are very interesting, eith sun being the happy and playful one while moon is supposed to be the creepy and sleepy one They became my favorite after a while of getting used to hem, i didn't really like the animatronic at first but now im kinda obsessed with drawing them Other than that i really agree with your veiws on the game, i quiet like the game (even though i don't play it)

I'm really glad I came across this video, as I love this game for all the same reasons as you do (along with the music, Dawko's playthrough, etc). Plus, that speech about not letting the flaws of something hinder your ability to enjoy that something, was really profound, and it brought me more confidence to like what I like. So... thank you.

Wow. That was…thought-provoking. I truly admire your confidence in what you believe in and hope to recognize a similar level of optimism within myself some day. What a lesson to learn before Christmas Eve, eh? I may write about how this made me feel in more detail tomorrow. Merry Christmas, Pastra, and thank you for your spooky smiles!

Securtiy breach brought me back into the the fanf franchise. I stopped looking at fnaf media since i got busy and lost interest around sister location but because of security breach it brought me back into and made me get back my passion for the fnaf franchise. So while most people find it bad i actually enjoyed it quite a bit and it made me catch up and finish the story of the main fnaf entries wich is why im really thankfull for security breach for making me reinterested in the fanf series. Edit: sorry for bad formatting english isnt my first language

I love security breach for a pretty weird reason. it reminded me of how I felt in the old fnaf fandom. I don't really know how to explain it but it just gives off those vibes to me.

This video is gonna make me get Security Breach. I've always been fascinated by the game and wanted to try it out, but two things stopped me: my own cowardice and the backlash it got. Since everyone else was always hating on the game, I was scared to express my feelings of interest, of wanting to try it out and it's so refreshing to see someone highlighting the positives of this game that made me curious in the first place. Also, I have an anxiety disorder and can't play many classic horror games without having a panic attack, but hearing that Security Breach isn't **too** scary was... kind of a relief, personally. I've kept up with the FNAF lore for years but haven't played a single game due to my own anxieties, but I think Security Breach might be the game to help ease me into it. So thank you, Pastra. Your videos have always been entertaining, and I'm glad you can always see the bright side :)

There is one thing I absolutely love about this game and that's Freddy's voice acting

Security Breach gave me so much joy, especially when it first came out, I don't care how glitchy it is or how detached it is from the rest or the series, it's a comfort and I love our community along with it

I appreciate you for making this video, I had a rough time last year as my roommate had a very strong dislike on the game and would shame me for enjoying it while I was(and still currently am) very hyper-fixated on it and genuinely enjoyed a lot of the little charming elements and the characters and such. I felt horrible though because my roommate would just tease me and shame me for “liking a broken game” Like, yeah, I know it’s broken, but I still enjoy it and why should that bother you? I wasn’t shaming them for hating on it so much, I let them have their opinions… I even agreed with them on some things- But dammit, let me like my silly goofy broken fnaf game ^^

I haven't even played SB, but I watched someones run that ran smoothly, and rarely encountered a bug, and this was on initial release! (KZfaqr is 8-bitryan, he got super lucky and didn't have many if any issues with the game performance-wise). Everything about the game just SCREAMS to me so much more than any FNAF game in the past, I hadn't even considered playing a FNAF game until this one, I love it THAT much. The opening cutscene and aesthetic is amazing, and FEELS like a large location you'd love to visit as a child. For instance, as a kid, I used to go somewhere simply called a "Science Museum" which was full of dozens to maybe hundreds of random things to mess with to display science, be it gravity, engines, water physics, etc. Seeing the Pizzaplex being everything that I'd want and more by itself would make me love this game over the others. I'm also a big 80's content fan, but was born in the early 2000's, so it was mostly thanks to my upbringing that I had such a taste for 80's style events. The music? Phenomenal, it's rock, but has such an upbeat part to it that just MAKES you excited, and all the different covers for different scenarios is amazing. The normal version is sheer perfection, but the light guitar version makes me imagine the Glamrocks all sitting in a cabin during christmas as it snows, then the music box one actually SELLS the creeping horror you feel as you get further and further in, complete masterpiece. Then the characters, while I find MOST musical groups a bit hard to watch, ESPECIALLY popstarts and the like, the Glamrocks design are absolute peak, and their personalities match. They are just overflowing with positivity that, with the voice acting, actually cheers me up a bit, far better than most motivational speakers that just fall flat as it doesn't feel genuine. Freedy being the big brother of the group and being just endlessly loving, Chica being an excercise coach that also likes to chow down sometimes, amazing, Monty...is Monty (I don't remember much of him to be honest, but he's easily the one I could see the most being an actual jerk), then Roxy, someone who's very mean in game, but with context, you can tell that her personality it just an extreme and lightly warped version of her normal one. Of them all, I think Roxy is meant to have the most complex character, where she's meant to be a competitive but supportive spirit, but the corruption causes her to be self-destructive and self-loathing. My two favorites are Freddy and Roxy, Roxy inching out slightly because of her complex personality, but Freddy staying close because he's just a beacon of positivity, even if he's likely the simplest character of the group. I'll admit, the gameplay kind of shoots itself in the foot at every turn, at least on paper. Just use Freddy? Short battery life so he can only walk 20 feet before shutting down. Use the cameras? A bit too complicated to use, and mildly hard to use due to constantly changing perspectives, also because you have Freddy and hiding spots. Hiding spots? Well, they're fairly frequent, but the problem is that they seemingly give you total immunity to the animatronics, even mid-chase, which ALMOST trivializes them, if it wasn't for the fact you still had to move around to do stuff. Every part of the gameplay is good in concept, but has something wrong with it that holds it back. Maybe if Freddy moved faster and had a longer/indefinite battery, and, due to his code being messy, maybe he couldn't go into some areas? This makes him easier to use, lets you use him longer, and can cause for a bit more dynamic gameplay (I have noticed that most players are just running around as Gregory 99% of the time). For Camera's, I can't really give much input since most people hardly use them, but maybe just add a little ping that you could see via a camera that points out where you are, or maybe have a minimap to look at with cones of view for the camera's, I dunno. To fix hiding spots, just make it so they don't give you complete immunity, so they only work if you lost line of sight first, and ONLY work as a hiding spot, not an escape tool (and make it so you can use camera's while in them, if you can't already). While people complain about the Story...it's a FNAF game, last I checked, 1, 2, 3, 4, and UCN didn't even HAVE an obvious story, and SL, World, and Simulator only had an obvious story at the end. Security Breach mostly tells you the story of the Pizzaplex, via Freddy explaining to Gregory just how everything works, and how it came to be...also, let's be honest, we all cried a little when they spoke about Bonnie. The game isn't perfect, its performance issues are problematic and the different form of storytelling compared to the rest of the series is certainly something that some people could be upset about, but just like you, I ADORE this game, and found every aspect of it amazing (other than the bugs, but that's a given). I can't wait to eventually play the game myself, then the RUIN DLC, which fixes most if not all the issues with the gameplay and story, while reinforcing the positives from everything else.
