🎮 FNAF 10th Anniversary Celebration and Mimic's Secret
This paragraph discusses the 10th anniversary of the FNAF (Five Nights at Freddy's) franchise, highlighting the surprise announcement of a new game titled 'Secret of the Mimic.' The teaser for this game, set in 1979, suggests the Mimic character has been part of the FNAF universe since the beginning, possibly even before the events of 'Security Breach' and 'Ruin.' The teaser's content and the community's reaction are explored, along with the anticipation of resolving a significant conflict in the FNAF timeline.
🤡 The Evolution of the Mimic and Connection to Paper Pals
The second paragraph delves into the design evolution of the Mimic character, linking it to traditional clown aesthetics and the origins of Fazbear Entertainment as a traveling circus. It also discusses the 'Paper Pals,' characters introduced in FNAF 2, which are theorized to be connected to the Mimic. The peculiar design of the 'Paper Buddy' and its potential identity as the Mimic is explored, along with the significance of its clown-like features and the implications for the FNAF lore.
🎪 The Circus Origins and the Role of the Mimic
This section of the script examines the potential backstory of Fazbear Entertainment as a circus, with the Mimic character possibly being part of the original trio of clown performers. It discusses the traditional roles of clowns in circus performances and how they might correspond to the characters of William Afton, Henry and the Mimic. The paragraph suggests that the Mimic's role as a 'Contra-Auguste' clown, one that mimics the actions of the 'Whiteface' clown, could be a key plot point in 'Secret of the Mimic.'
🕵️♂️ The Mystery of Henry's Wound and Afton's Early Misdeeds
The fourth paragraph speculates on the deeper meaning behind a quote from Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar,' which was tweeted by the design director at Steel Wool, in relation to the new game. It proposes that the quote hints at an early murder committed by Afton, which Henry knew about but did not expose. This inaction by Henry is suggested to be the 'wound' he refers to, which metaphorically led to the creation of the animatronics and the tragic events that followed, including the death of his own daughter, Charlie.
🏦 Financial Support from SoFi and a Chance to Win $10,000
The final paragraph shifts focus from the FNAF discussion to a sponsorship message about SoFi, a financial services company. It details the benefits of using SoFi's banking services, such as higher interest rates compared to traditional banks, and the offer of up to $300 for new users with direct deposit. Additionally, it announces a giveaway of $10,000 to one lucky viewer, encouraging them to participate for a chance to win.

Transcripts
Take a look at this footage from FNAF 2.
Seems normal enough, right?
But what if I told you that the Mimic is in this video?
No, I'm not lying to you.
And no, I've not doctored the footage either.
The Mimic is here.
They have been here since the very beginning.
Give up?
Well, if you look very closely,
you'll find that the Mimic is this guy right here.
Hello, internet.
Welcome to Game Theory,
the show that cannot believe
it has been 10 whole years of FNAF.
Feels like just yesterday I was watching Markiplier
scream at this tiny, unknown indie game,
and now it's an indie horror empire
full of games, movies, books,
and more merch than a Pizzaplex can handle.
10 years is a big deal.
Believe me, we would know.
And so to celebrate, Scott pulled out all the stops.
We got an anniversary week full of fanverse games,
demos, books, movie teases,
and of course the crown jewel that was Into the Pit.
Though while that game offers a lot
in the way of theorizing,
that's not what I wanted to talk about today.
Don't worry, that video is coming.
I just need a little more time.
So make sure you're subscribed
so you don't miss that video when it drops.
There may also be a special theorist surprise in store.
Hint, hint.
But for this episode,
instead of talking about the biggest release of the week,
I wanted to talk about the biggest surprise.
You see, we knew about every release
that was happening during this anniversary week
ahead of time.
That was except for one.
Steel Wool had a mystery announcement slot.
And a lot of us just assumed
it was gonna be DLC for Help Wanted 2.
But that's not what we got.
Instead, Steel Wool completely sideswiped us
by revealing a 40 second teaser,
not for DLC, but for a brand new game.
We open on a 70s style carpet.
The camera tilts up to reveal
a Jack in the Box playing music.
The music stops, the box opens,
and we hear a laugh as a clown mask
peeks out from the box.
The film reel we're watching begins to burn up,
revealing the date, 1979.
Finally, we see a title card appear from the darkness.
Secret of the Mimic.
The internet lost their collective minds over this.
Not only were we getting a game exploring the character
that was a complete mystery
when it appeared at the end of Ruin,
unless you happen to read the books,
but it was also going to be a prequel,
set before any other FNAF game.
A lot of us have been theorizing
about the origins of Freddys ever since we got
the Fredbear's singin' show ticket in Security Breach,
and in 2025, it looks like we're gonna see
if we were right.
But you know what?
I'm not willing to wait that long.
Call me impatient, but when you take a closer look,
this 40 second teaser has actually told us
a lot more than you'd initially think.
This teaser confirms that we were right,
that the Mimic is from the earliest days
in Fazbear Entertainment's history,
but it also suggests that the Mimic's first appearance
wasn't in Ruin, nor was it Security Breach,
nor was it Help Wanted.
No, we are being shown that the Mimic
has actually been hiding in plain sight
since the very beginning.
The pieces were in place for us to figure it out,
we just weren't able to follow the breadcrumb,
or should I say paper, trail to realize sooner.
So wind up that music box, friends,
because when it opens, we'll be diving in head first
to see what secrets the Mimic has been hiding,
and in doing so, I believe we may finally be able
to resolve one of the biggest conflicts
currently facing the FNAF timeline.
A wound first inflicted on me.
Oh yeah, today's gonna be a big one,
so let's get into it.
The first thing we gotta talk about
is the design of Funky Tom over here.
Jokey fan name aside, given the title of this game,
it feels pretty unlikely that this is supposed
to be anything other than the Mimic.
But he's not the disheveled endo we saw in Ruin.
Now he's wearing a white mask with exaggerated eyelashes,
rounded cheeks, and a bright red nose.
I can feel the childhood trauma rushing back.
It also pops out of a jack-in-the-box,
so clearly Steel Wool are going for a clown aesthetic
with this newest version of the Mimic.
Or is it the oldest version?
This new old look does tie into our previous theories
about the origins of Fazbear Entertainment.
In that video, we discussed this poster from Help Wanted 2,
a poster with a circus tent and the date 1970 on it.
That, along with the mascot costumes in the ruined basement,
Glitchtrap's design, official artwork
of traditional mascot costumes,
and references throughout the books,
all seem to be telling us that Fazbear Entertainment
didn't start with the creation of Fredbear's family diner,
but as a traveling circus.
Instead of the animatronics or springlock suits
that we know and love today,
this circus used more traditional,
rudimentary mascot costumes.
They were still the same characters,
Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica, but played by human performers.
Though there was one exception.
We ended that theory suggesting that the Mimic
was also part of that same Fazbear Circus.
It shares design similarities with Sun and Moon,
a jester who was associated with the carousel
from the Fallfest Circus, a carousel that we watch burn.
Repeatedly in Help Wanted 2, we see the festival burn down,
both in the carousel level and in the fazerblast level.
And what else do we know is burnt?
The Mimic.
In the first epilogue of Tales from the Pizzaplex,
when the Mimic arrives, it is first described
as being burnt.
Thus, it seems like the Mimic has been here
since that Fallfest in the 70s.
You might think I was celebrating this fact.
My first FNAF theory was right, let's go!
But then, the worry began to sink in.
It always feels a bit wrong when a prequel
introduces a new character.
Plus, this franchise never gets rid of characters.
We've had 28 versions of Freddy, 19 versions of Bonnie,
and we even got 11 versions of Balloon Boy.
Who asked for that?
So then, why try to awkwardly insert the Mimic
into the previous lore?
I mean, retcon much?
Except, what if I told you we have seen this clown before?
Somewhere you'd never suspect.
FNAF 2.
I am, of course, talking about the characters
I've been teasing since the start of the episode.
The Paper Pals.
No, I wasn't joking.
These guys really are the key to everything.
If you don't know who I'm talking about,
the Paper Pals are these simple characters
made from paper plates that have been hanging out
on the walls of pizzerias ever since their introduction.
To this day, we've never really given them much thought.
They never seem to be that important,
but their continued existence in the franchise
has always struck me as unusual.
In fact, the only reason I was reminded of them
is because I was watching Dorko's playthrough
of Into the Pit, and wouldn't you know it,
they are once again just hanging out.
For them to keep showing up,
especially in these modern titles,
they have to be important.
And I think the weird clown Mimic
is the piece that ties them all together.
Originally, there were three of these guys,
a Freddy pal, a Bonnie pal, and this thing.
According to the game files, he's just called Paper Buddy.
And of the three, he's definitely the weird one.
In FNAF 2, he could just disappear from the wall
and suddenly appear in your office.
He didn't do anything, he was just there now.
Even his design feels out of place.
The other two are clearly characters we know,
Freddy and Bonnie, duh.
But this guy doesn't have any recognizable features.
He's got red arms, blue legs, a big smile, and a big nose.
It's just so weird.
In a series full of animal characters,
why have this generic humanoid-looking thing?
Naturally, the only logical explanation we had at the time
was that this had to be Balloon Boy.
He was one of the few humanoid characters
we knew about by FNAF 2,
and he wears a red and blue outfit.
But now that I'm looking back, I'm not so sure anymore.
For Bonnie and Freddy, we aren't just relying
on the colours to show us who they are.
They have extra design details
that connect them to their iconic characters.
Bow ties, hats, ears, that sort of thing.
If this Paper Buddy was supposed to be Balloon Boy,
why not give him some of his iconic attire,
like the propeller hat or the sign or, you know, a balloon,
the thing he is literally known for?
What this therefore implies to me
is that Paper Buddy is actually supposed to be someone else,
someone with a much simpler design,
and the answer of who becomes extremely obvious
when you take a look at their appearance in FNAF World.
That's right, not only were these guys
considered important enough to be playable characters
in one of the weirdest entries in this series,
but Scott also used it to give us a vital clue
about who this guy was supposed to be.
And it's all because of one teeny, tiny design change.
We've gone over Paper Buddy's design already.
The red arms, blue legs, buttons,
big smile, happy eyes, big nose.
All of that is the same in FNAF World, except for his nose.
It's still as big as before and it's in the same place,
but the color is now different.
It's been changed to red,
and a red nose means one thing, clowns.
What we're seeing is Paper Buddy's design
matching exactly with the iconic design of clowns,
and therefore also matches what we've seen
from the Mimic in this latest teaser.
Now, I recognise that this feels like a stretch.
This is all down to interpretation
and could be taken a number of different ways.
Believe me, I was honestly unsure of all of this too.
That was until I found this,
the final clue that absolutely sealed the deal for me
that Paper Buddy is the Mimic.
Take a look at the attacks the Paper Pals have in FNAF World.
The first two are Prize Ball 2 and Mystery Box 2,
both generic attacks that would make sense
for any character in any pizzeria.
But the third and final attack
is called something very specific, Mimic Ball,
a move that mimics the last attack used.
I could not believe it when I saw this.
Of all of the games, it was FNAF World showing us
that the Paper Pals were specifically able to mimic others.
The third Paper Pal from FNAF 2, Paper Buddy,
is a paper version of the new clown Mimic
that we saw in the teaser.
In my previous theory,
I mentioned how FNAF 2 isn't a revamp of the old franchise,
but a callback to the circus origins of the franchise.
The red-cheeked toy animatronics were calling back
to the original costumes worn at the circus.
You have the carousel calling back to the carousel
from Fallfest that we got to see in Help Wanted 2.
And now we have Paper Buddy calling back
to the clown Mimic that was present at that same circus.
It all just fits together so neatly.
It could also explain the clown mask
in things like Sister Location,
the one that would later go on to become Ennard.
Why is that mask in such a position of prominence?
Because it was the third member
of that original circus trio,
someone who had been there since the beginning.
Although, speaking of trio,
while Paper Buddy being the Mimic
and appearing in FNAF 2 makes sense,
him being grouped with Freddy and Bonnie
feels a bit odd, right?
Even for the early days of the franchise,
a clown isn't the obvious one to pair with Freddy and Bonnie.
Chica I'd have understood, maybe even Foxy.
But this guy is just so random.
If you've followed us for a while,
you'll know that we are obsessed
with these kinds of details.
The grouping of animatronics through merchandise or decor
can often tell us a lot about the history of the franchise.
We felt like Foxy had to come later
because he had a separate stage to the other three.
It felt like Chica wasn't originally part of the group either
because she had her own Party World spinoff
during Sister Location.
And in Ruin, we figured out that Sun and Moon
came much earlier because they were getting collectibles
alongside OG characters,
while newcomers like Roxy and Monty weren't.
So placing the Mimic clown alongside Freddy and Bonnie
has to imply there's a special connection between the three.
So why make the Mimic the awkward third wheel
alongside this famous duo?
Well, it turns out the rule of threes
isn't just an important literary technique.
It was also super important for performances at the circus,
particularly when it comes to clowns.
In a traditional circus,
you would have three major clown archetypes,
the Auguste clown, the Whiteface clown,
and the Contra-Auguste clown.
We spoke about the Auguste clown in our previous theory.
These clowns were the ones with red cheeks
that were designed to appear silly and make children laugh.
Often they were portrayed as an intelligent
but lower-class clown, the laborer,
the one who would do a job, often badly,
which led to them getting a pie in the face
or falling off a ladder, you know,
the typical slapstick stuff.
The Whiteface clowns, on the other hand,
are supposed to be more serious and bossy.
They were of a higher status,
and so they would be responsible
for assigning the tasks to the Auguste clown
and would often become frustrated at their failed results.
Finally, you have the Contra-Auguste clown,
who was the middle ground,
still lower class than the Whiteface clown,
but not to the same degree as the Auguste clown.
And looking into clown literature,
which, yes, is a thing that I read,
the Contra-Auguste's role was to do one thing,
mimic the Whiteface clown.
No, I'm not making that up.
It was right there on the page in front of me.
What we now have are three distinct characters,
a serious boss clown, a smart worker clown,
and a mimicking clown.
Now, look at who we have at the start of Freddy's.
While we don't know a whole lot
about the specifics of this Fazbear's Circus,
we do know one thing.
Henry and William were actively performing
during the early days of the franchise,
one as a bear and one as a rabbit,
Fredbear and Spring Bonnie.
William was the businessman, the serious one,
the guy who was trying to make Fazbear a success,
the Whiteface clown.
Then there's Henry, the intelligent laborer
who was building the animatronics, the Auguste clown.
And now we have a third paper buddy, the Mimic,
a clown animatronic that has been there
since the early days of the franchise,
now mimicking the past actions of the Whiteface clown,
William Afton, making them the Contra-Auguste in this trio.
Three clowns, three performers, three paper pals
that have been there since the start.
But sadly, choosing Afton to be the one to mimic
wasn't the best decision.
When this trailer was announced, Brian Freyermuth,
the design director at Steel Wool,
tweeted about it saying,
the evil that men do lives after them.
The good is often turd with their bones.
This is a quote from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.
My immediate reaction was,
oh yeah, this is about Afton being dead
and now his evil lives on in the Mimic
who is now continuing to hurt
and kill people beyond his death,
like we've been predicting this whole time.
But as I thought it over,
I think it might be something more than that.
I actually think that this line is telling us
the main plot point that we will see
in Secret of the Mimic.
A plot point that will finally answer the question
that has haunted me ever since the release
of Help Wanted 2.
What did Henry mean by a wound first inflicted on me?
This line comes from the Insanity ending of FNAF 6.
Henry talks about how Afton used the souls
of the children he'd killed to create Remnant
and then continued to torture them
to create the Funtimes.
But the most important part of that monologue
is when he turns inwards
and begins reflecting on his own part in all of this.
He ends up saying he needs to heal this wound,
a wound first inflicted on me,
one that I let bleed out.
For the longest time,
we believed this was referencing Afton
killing his daughter, Charlie.
She was Afton's first victim,
which led on to the killing of all the missing children.
That was the wound that was inflicted on Henry,
the death of his own daughter,
that then bled out to the death of so many others.
But then Help Wanted 2 came out
and it flipped that entire idea on its head.
In that game, we had to light six gravestones
in a specific order to receive the secret Bonnie mask.
Each grave had a different puppet next to it,
each referencing one of the six main animatronics.
Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, Golden Freddy,
and the puppet, the five missing children, and Charlie.
However, Charlie isn't the first grave you light.
She's actually the last one.
Heavily implying that Charlie was the last to be killed.
Honestly, I don't hate it from a law standpoint.
There's a decent amount of evidence
that can line up with it.
But by suggesting that,
it threw into question that line
of a wound first inflicted on me
being about Charlie's death.
Instead, there had to be an earlier incident
that wounded Henry that would metaphorically bleed out,
leading to the missing children's incident
and the death of Charlie.
So, what do I think this event is?
Well, it all comes back to that Shakespeare quote.
The line that Brian tweeted is delivered
by the character Mark Antony at Caesar's funeral.
Caesar was murdered by the character Brutus.
However, Antony isn't able to directly accuse him publicly.
So instead, he tactfully talks around the issue,
calling Brutus an honorable man.
This dynamic between Antony and Brutus,
I suspect is meant to be a reflection of Henry and Afton.
Brutus was able to get close to Caesar
because Caesar loved him,
which is similar to the tactic used by Afton
throughout this series.
Put on the Spring Bonnie costume,
a character that the children loved,
and use it to lure them into a back room and kill them.
For this quote to be used to promote
the prequel game from 1979,
it's telling us that Afton was abusing
the love of this character
way before the missing children's incident.
And this early murder at the hands of Afton
is what I believe we will be seeing in Secret of the Mimic.
Maybe it will even be revealed as Afton's first.
It's unclear if the person Afton kills
will be a major character like Caesar is in the play,
or whether it's just another kid
with the importance more being
how early it is in the timeline.
We only have a 40 second trailer after all.
Much more is going to be revealed as time goes on.
But what is important is if William is Brutus,
Henry must be Antony.
And that means he knew William committed the murder.
That murder is going to be the wound inflicted on Henry,
on the Fazbear business, on their friendship.
That murder could have destroyed everything they built.
But as we know, it didn't.
And Afton would go on to kill again.
Because just like Antony,
Henry isn't going to accuse him directly.
Maybe he was concerned for his business' survival.
Maybe he was concerned about providing
for his new daughter, Charlie.
Maybe he just wanted to believe his friend could change.
But whatever his reasoning,
despite the wound Afton caused him,
he never came out and admitted what he knew.
He just allowed it to keep going.
Allowed Afton to keep killing.
English philosopher John Stuart Mill once said,
a person may cause evil to others,
not only by his actions, but by his inaction.
And in either case,
he is justly accountable to them for the injury.
That is why he feels so guilty in the insanity speech.
Because he knows that his inaction
in that moment from the circus,
led to the creation of not one, not two, but three monsters.
William, the yellow rabbit
that would go on to kill so many children,
the clown that was designed to mimic Afton,
now carrying on his horrible legacy.
And himself, the man who stood by
and let the first murder happen.
Leading to the deaths of so many others,
including his own daughter.
I guess at the end of the day,
they really were the perfect trio.
But hey, I think we can all agree
that we've got a lot to look forward to with SNAF.
So many new games were demoed or teased
during the anniversary,
plus we still got a bunch of new books
and a second movie coming,
which means it's gonna cost a pretty penny
to keep up with this stuff.
Thankfully though, the sponsor of today's video,
SoFi, is here to help you out.
They're offering one of you lucky theorists
a chance to win $10,000.
Man, if only I could get that many Faz coins.
The law could never hide from me again.
It might sound too good to be true,
but SoFi is the ultimate finance app
that helps you bank, borrow, and invest all in one place.
My wife and I recently moved out
of our first ever apartment,
which is a bit of a scary time financially.
You've gotta find somewhere new,
find new suppliers,
get new furniture that fits the space.
Thankfully though, SoFi has been a sponsor
of this channel for a while,
so I knew I could count on them to help me out.
Most banks only offer savings accounts
of around 0.46% interest,
which doesn't really help with buying that new couch.
I could probably find that level of savings
just digging between the cushions of my old couch.
However, SoFi has got my back.
Today, SoFi is offering a massive 4.6% APY,
10 times what most banks offer
according to the National Savings Rate Average.
Just drop your money in the account,
set up direct deposit,
and in five weeks, you'll have earned more interest
than you would have done in a whole year with another bank.
If only solving FNAF was that easy.
But what if you don't have any savings to start with?
Well, fear not, because if you're new to SoFi,
they're offering you up to $300
when you sign up with direct deposit
to help you get those interest rates rolling in.
But if you really wanna give your savings a healthy boost,
SoFi and I are giving away $10,000 as part of this deal.
Believe me, I know how this kind of money
can make a huge difference, whatever your situation is.
Whether you're moving like me,
paying your way through college,
or you're just wanting to kick off your dream project.
$10,000 is potentially life-changing.
So, for a chance to win,
head on down to the description and click the link,

or scan the QR code that you see on screen right now
to sign up for a SoFi checking and savings account today.
A big thanks again to SoFi for sponsoring this episode.
And as always, friends, remember,
it's all just a theory, a game theory.
Thanks for watching.
