 Hello people of the internet, my name is Johnny and welcome to 2022. We're kicking off the new year good with a brand new reaction to a brand new game theory on FNAF, this time the brand new game FNAF Security Breach, which we just finished our own playthrough linked down below if you want to go check it out. Fair disclaimer, I've said this on Twitter, I don't think I've said it on YouTube here, I do have COVID right now, so hey that's a that's a great great thing to have at the end of the year on Christmas going into the new year so oh boy I feel I just feel I feel so bad. So if I sound terrible, I look terrible, if I'm not talking a whole lot, I apologize. Definitely not how I want to kick off the new year. So let's not waste any more time I think this brand new game theory it says FNAF don't trust Gregory, so I know for a while MatPat has been thinking that Gregory might be a robot so I have a feeling this is kind of what the episode is going to be about. So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, this is FNAF Security Breach Game Theory Don't Trust Gregory. Here we go, three, two, one, hit the like button, subscribe for more game theory reactions and more content this year. Here we go. After years of waiting, five nights at Freddy's Security Breach has finally launched Let's go. We now have a whole load of mysteries to discuss. What's the deal with the Vanny Therapy tapes? Yeah those are weird. That's weird. Who is the best animatronic and why is it music man? Obviously music man. There are a lot of things to solve in this massive game as lore hides behind every pirate poster and inside every arcade cabinet. Quite literally both of those. Addressing the one character that we spend a lot of time with but don't actually see all that much. And that's our main character of Security Breach, Gregory. Yep, in a franchise full of dead kids, I want to focus on the first ever living child we've seen in main stories of games except for in the Fruity Maze minigame but we all know that she ends up dead. Who is Gregory? What is Gregory? And why is he such a cold-hearted savage to Roxy and the rest of the animatronic gang so mad that you're driving without my permission? Yeah. Matt's doing a playthrough. He hasn't finished the game so far. So I didn't think we'd get an episode this early. But I guess he recorded them earlier. Here we go. Ah, brand new FNAF game theory. Feels good. Yeah. Not true. I mean, very true. Much say not wrong. Three! All right. Subscribes so you don't miss their reactions. There is a lot. Understandable. Oh, the Besson Gaming. I love that cutscene. But to Gregory just being there, I guess it is one of the weirdest, most jarring intros to a game ever. And then from that look forward, we're just expecting to assume that everything is perfectly normal, no explanations necessary. So I'm here to give you that explanation because I strongly suspect that this boy is not a boy and this robot is not a robot and that the story of their relationship is one that's trying to make amends for one of the earliest and most pivotal points from this entire franchise. To begin, let's establish what we do know about Gregory in order to piece together the rest. So what does the game offer us in terms of his backstory? Nothing. First and foremost, we know that he's pretty much off the radar. At the start of the game, Freddie does a quick scan only to realize, Your guest profile is unknown to me. Similarly, when Security Guard Vanessa is chatting it up with Freddie, we hear this part of their conversation. That is great news. He can be returned to his parents. He doesn't have any. Turns out there's no record of him. Clearly, Gregory is not a guest at the Pizza Plex. It also seems like he has nowhere else to go. In the game's bad ending, unlocked by just leaving the building at 6am, you see Gregory winding up in an alleyway sleeping in a cardboard box. He appears to be homeless. He's an orphan. This then explains a few other things that we see around the Pizza Plex. In a couple of hidden locations around the building, we find little dens that are filled with drawings, plushies, and beds. The most notable one being the one behind the daycare center. Gregory seems to be living inside the Pizza Plex, which would explain his lack of a guest pass. We can't even be sure that his name is Gregory. In the game's opening scene, Gregory has no issues speaking to Freddie. Will you shut up? Who said that? I did. However, once Freddie asks him for his name, he stutters. Uh... I'm... Gregory. Why would he stutter on his name when he was clearly fine answering everything else just seconds before? So... What? Is that it? Gregory's just some homeless kid that sets up shop in the Pizza Plex and happens to get wrapped up in Afton and Vanny's plans? Yeah, right. Of course not. Nothing in this franchise is ever an accident. Take a look at Gregory here. Notice anything familiar? Dark eyes, brown hair with a piece of... Oh, familiar? Never mind. A shirt with two stripes across the middle. Ladies and gentlemen, Gregory is none other than the crying child. Don't believe me? Early on, we get this weird moment when Freddie suddenly stops what he's doing. Not really, because I don't think that adds up timeline or anything. We all know that the language in this franchise is never chosen by accident. Everything is meticulously crafted, so is it a coincidence then that the word broken is only used one other time in the FNAF series to describe the child? Yes, it actually is. I got a FNAF 4-clip with crying child and golden Fredbear. You're broken. We're still your friends. No, the dialogue was changed. It was like you have a cut on your horror or something, but they changed it. Screams of a connection existing between these two. Him being the crying child would also explain why he has nowhere else to go. His dad is an undead zombie living inside a yellow bunny suit, and his mom is MIA. There's also lines like this. Your parents want you to follow me. Your family is looking for you. Let me take you to your parents. On one hand, this just sounds like Chica's spouting out some generic security protocol. On the other hand, if indeed Gregory is the crying child, Chica's lines here take on a whole new meaning, and she is quite literally bringing him to his family. His father living in the basement, William Afton. But obviously there's one big problem with this. One that I'm sure all of you are screaming at your monitors or typing aggressively down in the comments. Or just calmly talking because I feel like you're after him. He died in FNAF 4 when his older brother Michael picked him up to be chomped. And not only did he die, his soul then went on to be one of the two spirits possessing Golden Freddy, being the vengeful spirit of Cassidy before he was finally put to rest by the puppet in the happiest day ending of FNAF 3. This show is well and truly gone. He is removed from the franchise. He is one of the few cards that are officially off the lore table. So why then do I dare invoke his name here? Because Gregory is a robot. A real version of the crime. This is what Matt's been there asking for a while. Flame Shield's activated because it's time for everyone's favorite segment. MatPat uses the lore from multiple FNAF books to try and explain what's the game that doesn't make sense. I'll try to make this as quick as possible. I love this segment. In the books, children having tragic premature deaths and then being rebuilt as robots by their grieving fathers is something that happens a lot. Like, if I had a nickel for every time this plotline showed up, I'd have, well, I'd have like three nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened three times. It's the original novel trilogy. Why did they keep using that twist in one's cover? Daughter of Henry Emily died as a kid and that her father put her back together Ew. I don't know these people. I still haven't read the dang books. Not fazgu! Oh no. Like, we haven't already. Yeah. That was so weird. What an awful joke. What an awful joke. You're a robo. Heh. Yeah, but you can totally go throughout the game without charging. It'd be fine. Heh. No human here. Huh. Huh. Freddy! My man, Freddy. Five nights, six. Fuck. Five nights, wait. Does he not know it's actually called Casablanca? I don't know. It's in one of the Pizzasim endings, Matt. How do you miss that? Come on, man. And that's such a good ending that meant nothing. He just had to keep going, Scott, didn't he? That's exactly what it says in the Ultimate Guide. He literally means nothing at this point. Something like this happening at the end of the last theory from a year ago is that one character is notably absent here, Michael Afton, who were reasonably sure was the guard working at the FNAF 6 location and the one who helped to burn it down. And to you, my brave volunteer, who somehow found this job listing not intended for you. Although there was a way out planned for you, I have a feeling that's not what you want. I have a feeling that you are right where you want to be. Good memories. Hey, if only that ending meant something. I'm so upset. I'm so upset. Is he going to call Glamrock Freddy? Yes. This is another theory I've heard about. I get it. That's a problem though, is like she brought me here, but he would have already been there. So I don't know. Why would Benny want to make Michael see all his family again? Exotic butters. Exotic butters. That was good. That was good. That's a good one. Well, I'm pretty bad as mayor. So he's not saying Mike's Freddy? I'm like, getting there wrong. Angry. Confused. She can now. I hate killing them. They're bullies no mercy by launching a go-kart at their face and ripping out their eyeballs. And meanwhile, Freddy is sad because they are quite literally his friends from when they were alive. But to me, honestly, the biggest connection points between Mike and Glamrock Freddy are thematic. They're narrative. Mike has been moving to location after location to try and undo his father's horrible work. This would just be a continuation of that story as both Afton's return posed fire. And more importantly, it also completes the arc of the crying child and his older brother. Since accidentally killing his brother in FNAF 4, Michael's been trying to make amends. This would be quite literally their grand reunion. An older brother finally able to protect and defend his younger sibling in a way that he failed to earlier in their lives. This is also why Freddy's programming would glitch out after he encounters Gregory in the opening cutscene. Child detective. Most brutal. Yes! What could this be? We are able to save Vanny from the control of Glitchtrap. This is something that we predicted would be possible literally a year ago in a theory, but I'd bring this up not to pat myself on the back, but rather to call out the final moment of this ending where we see Gregory, Freddy, and Vanny all sitting together on a hill. A hill that I should point out is oddly reminiscent of the FNAF's gravestone hill. It is? Wait, it's a hill? Wait, wait, what's it in gravestones? Wait, it's a hill? Wait, hold on. Don't do this. Absolutely. It's a theory for another name. What the hell? Billy! Billy! Yeah, you never really actually talked about that. Wow. Oh nice. True, true. Hey, subscribe to me so you'll not miss my reactions. A game theory. Let's go, game theory, Five Nights, Freddy! Alright, that was nice. A lot of theories that I've heard before, so, you know, I kind of knew some of the evidence already, but it was nicely put together, so don't know, still have a few problems. Number one, the line about it being broken. During the reaction, I don't like pausing, because I know some people hate when you pause to talk in the middle of a reaction video, so I don't understand that, so that's why I usually like to wait until the end. But in the original dialogue, Gregory was like bleeding, and he was saying how Vanessa wanted to kill him instead of, you know, she's trying to get me or she's trying to kill me. And the original line of, I feel you're broken was like, you're bleeding, you know, it's like you have a cut on your arm or something like that, so, but it got changed. For, I don't know, honestly, probably trying to keep it a bit more family friendly, which I know people hate, but whatever. So that could have just been a quick rewrite of the dialogue. It could not mean anything, but it could at the same time, so I just wanted to point that out. But yeah, overall, very interesting theory. I know Matt Pat has been talking about Gregory might being a robot for a long time, so it's interesting to see a bunch of evidence now for a dedicated video on that. Same thing with Michael maybe being Glamrock Freddy, I don't know. But I'm very interested. It seems like next episode it'll be about Fanny and Vanessa and probably the therapist tapes that we heard about recently. So that's probably the one I'm most looking forward to because those tapes, man, God dang it. I was listening to them and in my video, I'm like, your father's name is Bill, right? Not Will. And then people in the comments said, oh, but Bill is a nickname for Will. William, so I'm very, very pleased to hear that. Just so, so excited. So yeah, I'm very interested about that.
