Game Theory: FNAF, I SOLVED Ruin! (Security Breach)

theory: matpat is patient 46 and his therapists exploded from the stress of trying to comprehend fnaf lore

Markiplier might be the king of FNAF but Matpat deserves the title of "King of FNAF lore"

To this day it still amazes me that MatPat still works his hardest on not giving up on the FNAF lore. Also when MatPat does not mention Music Man then this game theory video will start to get serious.

Bro, if Matpat went to a therapist for help cuz of his stressing out over FNAF lore, he'd probably end up giving the therapist trauma

i like the idea that no matter how many times william “always comes back”, charlie will be there to see that he’s put back to rest and kassidy won’t be far behind to see that he suffers

Therapist: What’s bothering you?
MatPat: Fnaf…
Therapist: Can you explain more?
MatPat: Oh boy..

I imagine Scott Cawthon just sitting on a red velvet chair, with tons of money around him, happily chuckling while smoking a rich person cigar with the whole plot for the lore for the next ten years in his head while MatPat is going fully insane on these FNAF theories

It just hit me. Either Scott told a group of developers what the story is and they have not said anything. Or there are two cannons Scott’s and the team that made security breach.

“It’s the best of times, it’s the worst of times” - Matpat, slowly going insane from all the fnaf lore

Matpat figured out the dlc before it released, now that’s some real dedication

Everyone says matpat goes crazy with fnaf but the entire fnaf series is insane enough to make anyone who Glaces at it go mad

As we watch Matpat’s sanity unfold it’s like reading in on his own lore, like he’s generating some complex lore that we have to find out now

I remember MatPat saying a few years back that there aren't that many FNAF theories on the channel. Well, they've... multiplied.

I think the reason the books have suddenly started to become more explicit with the lore and connections is because Scott's finally realized he needs to be more clear about what he wants the story to be

I totally get why Mat is convinced Gregory is a robot mastermind but… you play the game and i just can’t help but think he’s just some lovable slightly sassy lost kid gosh dang it 😂

With the “3rd generation” of games (help wanted, special delivery, and security breach), it really feel like the franchise has stepped away from supernatural horror, with ghosts and possession, and fully embraced sci-if horror with malicious viruses and evil AI

Charlie tapping into the animatronics could also serve as a reason as to why Glamrock Freddy wants to help Gregory, yet doesn’t know why. The puppet was always known as the one to help the fallen children after all…

Also noticed this green + purple combo on Roxy, Monty and Chica. All three of them have both colors somewhere in their designs, which i noticed when i first played and thoughts was kind of interesting, especially since Freddy doesn't have them, almost hinting that he's different in some way to us the player.

The fact that Charlie is in charge of the Pizzaplex, due to the use of Marionette iconography in several parts of the building, kind of like a tree, seems to contradict what Matpat said in his previous video-- on the Blob, the Puppet's eyes aren't lit red like the other animatronics, and it doesn't have tear marks like it normally does. As a result, Matpat states that Charlie's soul exists elsewhere-- the Pizzaplex itself couldn't be it.

When I saw "Solved" I was shocked beyond shocked.
It's been almost a DECADE since Matpat was trying to crack FNAF lore and "SOLVED"in this case is just a very strong word here.
Be reminded, I am currently 36 SECONDS into this video, but I'm just saying.😂

It would be funny if later down the line in, say, 5 years Scott drops books explaining the entire story and Matpat gets 98% of it all right

Team Theorist is going to have a field day with the fnaf movie lol
Just imagine seeing Mat and his team at the premiere of the movie with notebooks and pens

It seems like Scott and SW Studios are trying to make up for what happened with Security Breach and I'm so glad because to be honest, as much as I love this franchise and that game, I was a little worried 😅

This video was definitely eye opening, and i pray to god it won't all be debunked when ruin comes out. Because it actually makes sense for once.
FNAF finally makes just a little bit of sense...

It would be cool to see a theory on Into the Radius VR. There is lore all throughout the play through of the game, would be awesome to see

I know you probably won’t see this but I just wanted to say that as my parents have been getting divorced this past year your channels have been a huge support for me due to me loving these games and films etc. I’ve been watching your channel since I was I was eight and now 6 nearly seven years later they are a huge inspiration to me. Thank you, for everything

It's crazy to think that i saw your first FNAF theory when I was just a young kid in primary school. now I'm finishing college and still watching.
Thanks Matpat for years of entertainment and here's to another awesome decade 🍻

Gregory being a robot is even more solid when you notice to his vision is start glitching when Glitch Trap is close.

4:45 I've been agreeing with MatPat since the first theory video

I really appreciate how Mat changes his intro every episode, it's nice

If the story teller was bought in to generate new stories, those stories would have to be based off some kind of training data it gathered due to being an AI. If this is the case, that would explain why the books aren't 1 to 1 to the games. The stories in Tales from the Pizza Plex are literally Tales from the storyteller at the pizza plex. Things would happen at different attractions at the pizza plex over its runtime before security breach, and since the story teller had like full control over the entire place, that would allow it to gather the data of these events and turn them into stories. And just like how AI can't exactly generate things perfectly, the stories from the storyteller are just a little off from the actual events with some name changes as well.

Surprised Scott hasn't made an actual pizzeria chain yet and put law in it

I think is actually in the order that MatPat just explained it. Greg/46 is a evil robot that transforms the animatronics into hunter by hacking them and kills his therapists, but later at some point he gets reprogrammed by Charlie/Henry and turns into Gregory, the one we play as.

So I was just stuck in a link to the past, and your videos always help me know where to go if I’m really stuck. Thanks!

Oh hey, Matpat's solved FNAF again.

With every Fnaf episode we gain more knowledge on the series, but we lose more of MatPat's sanity

Can't we just appreciate the amount work he put inside of us

I actually think Matpat is going to be largely correct about everything because Scott has secretly offloaded the lore-crafting onto him and is watching all these videos and taking notes.

there’s this game series that i used to play a few years ago. it’s called cube escape. it’s got some lore behind it and i got some of it but i know for sure you could figure the whole story out. i love this game and am currently replaying it and i would love a video on it. it’s a bunch of escape rooms where the character is trying to escape his past i think. i would love a video ❤️

Personally I think the pizzaplex books are connected to the canon games. Mainly because, the desc for them told us they were (this was written by Scott) the desc was only taken down because Scholastic changed it. NOT Scott. This means that in the lore the books were intended to be canon.

I’ve been waiting for this video ever since the trailers for the movie, dlc and vr game dropped. I knew he was gonna make a vid. So glad I checked in everyday

i feel like i've listened to the mimic story a thousand times already it better actually show up in the dlc lol

The fact that what I said about Henry rebuilding Charlie in my “I Solved Security Breach” series might actually be true is insane. Glad MatPat is now on board haha ;)

The Green and Purple thing also seems reflected in the designs for Chica, Roxanne and Monty. All have green and purple in thier designs, Chica has purple on her legs and forearms, and green earrings. Roxanne is purple but has green hair. Monty is green but his shoulder pads are purple. Those 3 are directly being controlled by Charlie and Glitch Trap, while Freddy the only one not being influenced has no purple or green in his desgin.

with that whole 'green and purple' thing mat was talking about, the cover art for the dlc has purple lights in the background and green text saying "help me". Just another spot where that colour combo appears

Matpat is going insane day by day, and Im all here for it

Thank you matpat, you saved my evening. All it took was your sanity.

Yet again another theory about FNAF, Matpat. At this point the theories never end..

Can we appreciate how they tried their best to make this amazing video for us

I started watching matpat when I was a kid from fnaf I’m so amazed he still has great theory’s over this mysterious game

i always took "dont give up on me yet" as a tongue and cheek reference to everyone being done with Security Breach and writing it off as not creepy or challenging but RUIN will be the opposite to make up for the lack-luster main game. "dont give up on the devs yet, we can change the tone whenever we feel like"

When it comes to FNAF, MatPat is always ready to do a theory about it and drift into insanity

my theory is that the pizzaplex is actually in the alternate universe and thats why it fits so well with the books

OK, I got the thought of Charlie possessing a giant white tiger animatronic or statue (which gets the signature tear markings upon possession, of course) in order to fight Afton and it's just too awesome.

I’ve really been loving the FNAF lore lately man lol, can’t wait to see what happens as the franchise continues! Keep it up guys! 😄

awesome theory, awesome references, s tier editing ❤

i like to think that MatPat's dreams consist entirely of fnaf lore ideas

"Bad news i don't think the wider fnaf community is gonna agree with me on this one" -Every fnaf theory from matpat ever

I imagine John/Fuhnaff is quite happy that the things he saw and found out are paying off.

18:38 Charlie and Glitchtrap fighting with the ink drop tools like lightsabers is giving me life

Congrats on #1 on trending and quite a W for Matpat

I'm actually so hyped for the upcoming theories. It's always a dopamine rush when a MatPat FNaF Theory pops up on my phone

Matpatt never fails to spread my cheeks and fill them up inside 😁😁

Matpat made it his goal to solve ruin before if even comes out 💀

I just love how MatPat works to bring these episodes

He failed to beat Scott to it when FNAF 4 arrived, but he most CERTAINLY beat Steel wool in the DLC.
Goes to show how indie becomes a little more pants when AAA.

I subscribed to all Theorists channels quite a while ago and have always loved MatPat's way of telling a story. I didn't realise how much until now... I've never played this game, read these books.. nothing. My only exposure to this story has been through MatPat.. and I'm only here cause of his amazing energy in these videos. Awesome.

MatPat: "this is the final theory!"
Me: ".. nah, not gonna be the last one."
Today, MatPat proves me right. He can never escape FNAF. Unless they stop making books and games and other things, it'll never end.

Even after so many years, I'm always excited for another FNAF Lore video.

This is cool. John at FuhNaff has been saying this very thing for weeks now. The Charlie presence, fight of good and evil between Charlie and Afton, Henry/Edwin and child comparisons, etc. It's cool to see his theory being "validated", if you will, by the FNAF authority that is Game Theory. I'm sure it means a lot to him. I only wish he would have gotten some credit or a small mention for contributing to the thought. If I recall correctly, his theory had a little push back from the community. So, this could turn out to be a real "I was right" moment for him.

I like how even if matpat can be absolutely and completely worng and sometimes unloigcal,the lore will still be based on what he says

Just something to point out, in the poster of the ruin dlc (I think that is what it is) the 2 prominent background colors of the pizzaplex are green and purple too

Kudos to Charlie for sticking out this long

I think I'm going just as insane as matpat cause i legit get goosebumps when he points out something

i love watching your channel, and even more now that i broke my arm, im glad my childhood hasn't gone away from the theorist's channel's.

I Watch FNAF videos whenever I have an analysis essay due, makes me feel like I’m not over analyzing everything

honestly, I've been waiting for another fnaf episode, but didn't expect that he's not done on the lore yet

Therapist: ok so whats wrong with you?
MatPat: fnaf lore…
Therapist: could you please explain more?
MatPat: oh boy

MatPat already trying to understand Ruin before we even get the game is such a Matpat thing to do

ive never played fnaf but ive been watching these videos for 3 years and Mat Pat is honestly great

Fnaf lore is like a Lovecraftian monster. It just makes you go insane after a while.

Thanks for sharing this video with us, MatPat team! Including the book lore in your theories certainly opens up possibilities. It's as interesting as it is complex (and confusing).
The idea that Gregory might be Patient 46 and maybe Glitchtrap's robot minion is intriguing, but I'm not sure how much can be confirmed based on the game evidence I've seen so far. Gregory's behavior seems fairly normal for a kid. He doesn't recognize Vanessa or Vanny, which could mean that they've never met or that Gregory is missing memories. Also, I don't think Gregory has displayed any major hacking skills. His glitching vision around Vanny could hint at a robotic nature though, as you once mentioned.
Based on your description, Mimic resembles FNaF novel Circus Baby, whose body started out as a fourth Charlie-bot but was modified by William and fused with Elizabeth. Does this make the Mimic a symbolic mix of novel Charlie and Elizabeth? The Mimic was even created just for David, which reminds me of how game Elizabeth refers to Baby as being made just for her.
Purple is William's color, but Glitchtrap could be connected to the color green. A few scenes from Help Wanted show Glitchtrap with green light shining on him. In Princess Quest, the Glitchtrap plush is green. Also, the prison cell keyhole in the third game has green circuitry lines rather than purple ones. Interestingly, the mystery rabbit in the Ruin trailer has green and purple circuitry lines on their head.

He has tried to quit making fnaf videos more than i can count but no matter how many times he tries he cant escape THE LORE

The manner and cadence in which MatPat said "How? When? Not sure" during the he triangles section reminded me of Rorschach from The Watchmen.

Can we just appreciate for a second how fun it is to watch video's of the game theory crew? Like the editing and everything is great
Edit: I'm not a bot I just wanted to comment

I can't wait to see Matpat react to the movie when it comes out

I can't even think of how mat is happy yet annoyed that he was right with the books :D

Thanks to the editor we can enjoy everything he says and understand half of it teh editor needs a oscar bro cant get sleep thinking of editing these videos.

Something else that is interesting to consider is that if both of them were in fact competing for control. It would explain why the robots lose Gregory so quickly.
Charlie is actively trying to hinder the boys from catching him.

I think not mentioning the robot mimic after it was abandoned really left out a lot of important context. The idea that Charlie is in the pizzaplex is really cool but I still think both mimics are more Afton based

Fun fact, green and purple are on 1/3rd intervals of a colour wheel, you know what’s directly between them? Orangy-brown, the colour of Gregory’s eyes in game. They are described as brown but hazel is probably better.

I've actually had an idea like this before, i thought a way they could continue the games is to have a kind of war between glitch trap and another old character, however i thought it would've been golden Freddy, leaning into the supernatural and Gregory would only work with her because she's against Afton. But i now think Charlie is better mainly because the character has so much importance and has been underused.

I’m surprised FNAF is popping on the number 1 trending spot a lot lately, especially here.

It's so cool to watch these videos, they're so entertaining!!
Also!! Have you thought of doing a theory about Genloss?

Nothing better than a surprise game theorist fnaf theory.

The chromatic aboration near the end also lines up with Gregory's shirt colour, which is the direct in between of those colours.

god i love when mat pat explains lore in the most camp counselor way possible

Nothing like eating pizza that the place got wrong, watching a video about a murderous pizzeria

You know, almost every fnaf video I watch on this channel confuses me. I'm always lost. I'm just here for the nostalgia. I love it though. Maybe at some point the information will slowly seep in and I'll finaly understand the lore.😂
