ALL OF RUIN, for the first time :) 

PLZ GIVE VIDEO LOVE BECAUSE REPOSTS USUALLY CRASH AND BURN. LIKE, COMMENT, WATCH IT ALL IF YOU WANT, THE WORKS :D

Tbh, I really like Eclipse talking like an actual daycare worker, really kind and sweet instead of the absolute batshit craziness of Sun or Moon.

My favorite part of Ruin so far has been watching people being completely unaware that “child nodes” just means that they are related to a “parent node” and don’t actually have anything to do with children.

We should have known it wasn't Gregory from the moment he said "I'm trapped." No collision can hold this gremlin child.

5:54 For those wondering about the statement of eating around the mouldy parts, it's recommended to just discard them altogether. While you can see the mould on the surface, there's its "roots" that are inside that probably won't be seen. But hey, if you still wanna have a bite, don't let me stop you.

Something that was really fascinating to me was seeing how Roxy acted with Cassy. It was an interesting peek into how she usually acts with children, since she was so mean with Gregory (even before he took her eyes)

The fact that Spiff didn’t immediately realize the horrible chaos that can be caused by the image function in Zoom Chat is so funny to me

cassie pretty much uas the abilities of a normal kid while gregory uses the power of timetravel, unnatural speed, night vision, telekinesis, teleportation, unnatural ability to scale walls, ability to walk through walls, and editing the fabric or reality

I'm glad that Ruin doesn't pretend that it's a big reveal that "Gregory" is fake. Yeah, _Cassie_ didn't realize it, but the game is written in a way that makes me think it knows full well that the player figured it out pretty much from the beginning

There should be an ending where you leave immediately instead of exploring

18:03 For anyone confused by this naming, it's common in programming to refer to an object as having a parent/child relation with all of its sub objects. An object can be a parent to multiple child objects and be a child itself to another object. I don't blame anyone for thinking it sounds really strange out of context, lol.

When playing RUIN Streamers: Oh my god this is creepy… Spiff: *Trying to clip in every object he sees* THEY FIXED IT!

The ‘mold sack’ is actually a trash bag. This was the solution from the employees to Chica’s trash eating problem, which made it semi beneficial. VERY LATE EDIT: Jot actually confirmed idea. I came up with this on my own. Other’s say Chica consumed a garbage bag and it now affects her eating. I still like to think of my idea as “canon” though :)

Zoom chat haunting us beyond the grave is incredibly fitting for FNAF

I love how they put effort into Sun and Moon being actual characters this time, and the writing and Kellen's voice acting really sells it

I think it's pretty obvious that Gregory and Vanessa are working together. Since the Princess Quest ending is almost for sure the canon one, that would mean that scene where Gregory and Vanessa leave together actually happens. This would explain why the elevator to Burntrap still works despite Freddy saying it was a one-way trip. It's also how Gregory has access to the building schematics, since Vanessa was head of security. I bet that's also why there's static when gregory says "Just follow (static) instructions." He was probably saying "her" instructions, but it was made into static to not give away that it wasn't Freddy.

I do love watching an hour of Spiff not realizing touching Pegtrap starts a death timer that instantly kills you if you don't take off the mask and instead calling it a "bug".

Like I know the whole roxy thing is haha funny but at the same time I legit liked the whole 'shutting down roxy' scene. It's far from the most emotional thing in even a FNAF game, but it's solidly done I think. I really like how, with the way Roxy talks, she sounds like what you'd actually expect from what she is, an animatronic meant to entertain kids. And the fact that she actually lets go and apologizes when she realizes Cassie isn't Gregory is kinda neat. She's just (understandably) pissed at Gregory, not really interested in going after anyone else.

Loaf's zoomies at the beginning was so adorable. Overall surprising how well ruin ran when compared to security breach. Well done steel wool

Roxy is a very good showing of what happens if you exist around a forklift without being forklift certified.

In 1:06:58 , you can clearly see Cassie’s shadow on the door is only her arms since that’s the only part of her model that’s loaded normally. You’d expect a cutscene to have her whole body but I guess the devs forgot

poor spiff, having to deal with weiners in a fnaf stream is something i never thought would happen lol

To be fair to “Black Rabbit”, Golden Freddy’s original name FNAF1 was “Yellow Bear” in the files so this is actually pretty standard for the franchise.

ok but this is the first streamer I've watched that has played so much security breach he can start guessing what each section of the ruins used to be, and where he's going next, and what areas surround him, and not only that but he's actually right almost all the time lol. And also is celebrating how the game became actually functional lol

One thing that's interesting about the mask in the game, is it makes me think of something kinda strange: Is that how Vanny got around so much? It's possible that she used that same mask to get around without you ever knowing she was nearby until the game lets you see her there, or at least close to you

Roxy's behavior in this DLC just makes me think that the animatronics in security breach have a personality chips and are not being possessed by kids

When you really think about it, Gregory was very down to kill robots to get mildly convenient upgrades Kid coulda got a better flashlight through the most plentiful robot in the game XD

I am 100% sure of two things 1) the canon ending of sb is the princess quest 2) the elevator is also the canon ending, and in the interlocutor was gregory talking at first until the "static" sound play right before "its not your fault" then was the mimic

1:21:18 By and large this game is pretty tame (since, y'know, it's for kids) but I love the unsettling reveal of Prototype Freddy. The way he slowly stands up and reveals not only his missing head, but the compartment that was previously your safe space is now a gaping maw leading to a death trap (which is realistically what that compartment would have always been).

The Zoom chat abusing their power to unleash a flood of Roxy NSFW is perhaps the most evil thing Spiff's chat has ever done

I love watching the chat during these. If I didn't, I'd miss wonderful questions like, "Is cheese any good?"

its so funny watching different ppl play this, cuz matpats looking for all the tiny details, spiff is looking for speedrun skips, and marks looking for a good time lol❤

5:59 please don't eat anything with mold on any part of it! The mold you see is just the spore producing bit, the mycelium (microscopic fibers that make up fungi) is already spread through most (if not all) of the food

Sad that Ruin ends so abruptly, and is so scripted that there aren't any real threats. However. Steel Wool has shown that they can deliver on atmosphere, touching story moments, and give us decently scary sections with an interesting new antagonist. The lack of any Blob is still disappointing as well. Good start I guess.

The difference between Cassie and Gregory is that Gregory is a God can scale invisible walls with only his mind, and Cassie is just a normal child Edit: MOM GET THE CAMERA 📸

I was always jokingly skeptical about Gregory actually being at the pizzaplex but watching Dawko's playthrough, I knew for a fact it wasn't him when Cassie says she should get help or call the cops. When "Gregory" says 'There's no time', it was the exact same voiceline from SB at the beginning when he gets hurt and Freddy takes him to the med station. Just a fun little thing I noticed. Sadge Spigg was kinda talking over it during his playthrough

I absolutely LOVE how no one is talking about the fact that Candy Cadet's story foreshadowed the ending.

I'm genuinely really impressed with how well Ruin turned out, especially compared to SB. It's not perfect, but it really seems like some real passion went into it, and that goes a long way.

For my top three people I couldn’t wait for playthroughs of Ruin, MatPat, Markiplier, and Spiff, glad Spiff was the first one I got to see experience it fully.

Love that spiff got gaslit about bowling existing for 3 hours

If steel wool has to make the game a cakewalk to not make it a buggy mess, ill take it bc man I love the story. Even though I don't know who mimic is, I feel like it just feels better and doesn't have much out of nowhere bs.

I like that Ruin is easier. To me a horror game shouldn’t really have to be hard, as having to redo a section over and over can replace fear with irritation. Keeping it easy means you’re more likely to do things on the first try, keeping each scare fresh for longer. A perfect working example of that is Subnautica, and it definitely helps prove that it works.

"Im going to have a normal run" *Proceeds to jump everywhere and check for glitches everywhere*

You know, I'm not scared of jumpscares, but those designs are actually freaky. Love how they look so abandoned

Spiff: "i avoided spoilers" Also spiff, a few minutes later: "Hello the totally real Gregory and not mimic at all wink wink"

I love how spiff started a zoom call as a joke and ended because of porn

Watching this after having watched about half of the vod before it got privated is so funny. Knowing just what kind of chaos the zoom chat was going to cause is like seeing the lead up to a horrible historic event or something. Something *bad* happened here

pegtrap’s form of cyber bullying is doxing your current location to the local animatronics

if anyone's wondering, the MXER you find at the end of the game is what's controlling the entity(pegtrap). It was made to stop the mimic from being released. You undoing all the security nodes stopped it from working, so in the end when pegtrap's coming out of the MXES, it was pulled back in because MXES was shut down. Also I have a theory that the security mask, and the maskbot were setup by mimic in someway, either by vanny or someone else. And that when HELPI has yellow eyes that mimic's influence telling you how to progress. Would also somewhat explain why you can use the mask at the end, cuz you're close to mimic... I guess? Idk. I have no fucking clue how the mask lets you do all the teleportation though Edit: considering the glitchiness of these objects when you're not wearing the mask, maybe they're somehow made by illusion discs? And hide these entrances? Perhaps another tactic by the MXES to stop people from getting closer to the mimic?

Can’t believe I saw this live and still missed all of the cursed shit going on in the zoom chat lmao

WOW! You're the first playthrough of Ruin I've watched (mainly because I don't want someone overreacting to every lore clue/jumpscare), and the Mimic was so freaking creepy. Props to Steel Wool.

Man, the whole bit with Roxy is a super bummer. She's my favorite out of SB. Seeing her being nice and remembering one of her fans by name really tugs at the old heartstrings.

If you think about it, Mapbot's omnipotent teleport abilities were transfered to the mask. Now able to go between dimensions, sometimes out of order!

I loved watching this live, and also how completely predictable zoom going poorly was once I saw people posting pictures. My literal first thought when I saw that was "how long will it take for them to start posting porn?" and evidently the answer is pretty quickly.

Hi Spiff, I've been watching your Ruin content for 10 years now. It's so cool to see how you've progressed as a creator, and a gamer.

1:25:02 That little head tilt and the happy eyes is 'nuff to make a grown man cry. This whole scene with Roxy is the only time FNAF has made me feel sad. Throughout the entirety of Security Breach we come to feel only a positive emotional attachment towards G.Freddy, while feeling nothing but frustration with the other Glamrocks because of how much of an annoying obstacle they are which is made even worse by the game's jank. But I feel like the few scenes we have with Roxanne (Her grabbing Cassie but letting her go, her remembering Cassie, and then her sacrificing herself to save Cassie at the end) reminds us that these animatronics are not evil by nature. These are not animatronics possessed by vengeful spirits or anything. They were built to be friendly and kind towards children and to provide entertainment and joy. With Roxanne we see that due to what I assume is having her programming originally messed with during base Security Breach, she still has it out for Gregory, especially because he took her eyes. But when she grips onto Cassie and she screams for her to let go, Roxanne recoils back and apologizes not just because Cassie isn't Gregory, but because deep down she's still Roxanne Wolf, not "That fucking bitch Roxy is in my way again", but the egotistical yet still compassionate tomboy Glamrock that many kids love and adore. I really feel like if Ruin wasn't so short, there could have been potential for Roxanne to eventually come around and be a guardian to Cassie after a couple of encounters. Not to the extent of the almost "Father & Son" dynamic that we had between Gregory and G.Freddy, but more of a sister relationship. After all one of the best things about base SB was how the game perfectly handled making the player develop an emotional connection with G.Freddy (Outside of.. when the AI jank kicks in.) I've already watched a lot of people go through Ruin and the majority feel upset over the scene with Roxy under the forklift and I've only seen two who didn't really give a shit. I really honestly believe having Roxy be the new G.Freddy in this situation could have worked wonderfully as not only would it let us learn more about Roxy, but allow the emotional weight of Roxy's character "redeeming" herself sink in.

I think the zoomers’ chaos is finally over now

I do think that the atmosphere of Ruin is an improvement compared to the original Security Breach, but I just didn't find doing the same like 4 puzzles for the entirety of the game that interesting. It also just doesn't really seem that interesting to me for replaying compared to the other FNaF titles.

Need a new lore video from Spiff ASAP, map bot is definitely up to something and only Spiff can crack the case

I think it's safe to say that Twitch chat or any chat should never be trusted with the power of sending any image they want

The zoomers were so powerful. Hopefully, they haven’t snuck back in. Also pov plants vs zoomers. ThE zOoMeRs ArE cOmInG

one gripe i have is that the helpy lines arent voiced, couldve been cool if it was a sort of announcer type voice with a radio esque filter because its in cassie's ears or something

man the whole Zoom mini arc that happened was so great watching it keep living like 4 times live was incredible

Fun fact! When making first person games where you can see parts of the model, your own model is usually not going to have a head because that's where the camera needs to go.

A secret ending where you fulfill some conditions to set off actual security that calls the police would be cool

I just noticed. How does Cassady survive like 5 spine breaking, step on a crack break your back, hospital inducing, rice crispys snap crackle pop, bone destroying falls in the span of less than an hour without dieing

Gregory gets: A giant Mech Suit, A Gun, and a stunning camera Cassie gets: Wrench 🔧

28:10 I love that it takes a couple seconds, and then chat goes absolutely ballistic

Spiff needs to do a 900% run now

I love how Spiff is celebrating over the game not being broken in the smallest of ways

Seeing this after Help Wanted 2 ending is such a weird thing. Spiff saying "Is that a brain??" When encountering the MaskBot is so foreshadowing

what really bothers me about ruin is the amount of things and times I feel like saying “oh yeah thats gone now but they’ll probably add that later,” while knowing they won’t add that later, is just sad

If I had a nickel for every youtuber I'm subscribed to who has talked about eating around the mold on food without realizing how mold works, I'd have two nickels.

I loved it when Golden Freddy said "It's Mimic Time!" and proceeded to Faz-Goo all over Brazil

Not even twenty minutes in and I love how done we are with at least one of the twists.

Spiff, thank you for acknowledging that the ar presents look like minecraft block. I have WAITING to hear somebody call it out.

Kudos to Spiff for uploading a 1h30 video edited only a few days after the DLC releasing !

We saw her naked in the beginning, betrayed her, and by the end she sacrificed herself for us. Top shelf character arc

You don't breach security in security breach, you are the security breach, sneaking around behind boundaries where you aren't supposed to be, and uncovering things you aren't supposed to know.

Honestly, Ruin is definitely more stable than security breach, but even with the "canon" ending it still feels like the stpry is lacking crucial elements, like the moment where you find "freddy" just seems odd since he is missing his head just like another ending where he was destroyed with his head removed

Im here too Cheese of the Day: Morlacco Morlacco, also known as Morlacco del Grappa is an Italian cheese from Monte Grappa, Veneto region, Italy. Earlier cheesemakers used to produce Morlacco cheese using cow's milk and uncooked curd. Nowadays, a mixture of skimmed milk and whole milk is used. It is ready to consume after 20 days but can be further aged for up to 3 months.

The pizza plex is at its most fixed ironically enough because the staff bots have fixed all the space time distortions

‏‪5:58‬‏ The mold has roots. For example, if even one part of the whole bread package is a tiny bit green it means the whole thing is contaminated. Cuz roots. You better not eat it.

5:53 I do not recommend eating around the mold, if there's mold on something it most likely is in it already

The zoom chat's roxy shenanigans caused so many problems so far for spigg

I imagine Cassie only feels slower due to you too used to Gregory having all his speed upgrades

It feels like the devs fixed a lot of the technical issues at the cost of entertaining/scary gameplay. FNAF is at its best when it's stressing you out, but Ruin is more of just a casual stroll through some mildly spooky set pieces with very little real danger to the player. Every challenge is overly forgiving, and many sections that should have animatronics trying to kill you just... don't. Add on to that the campy, cliche dialogue from Cassie and the lackluster endings, and I feel like there's a lot of room for improvement. Unlike with SB though, it's easy to see a path forward for better games in the future if they can just put all the good things they have together.

Also I'm pretty sure the "friend" that knows his way around the pizzaplex and was the one who was mentioned when Gregory said: "WE can't have you following US" is obviously freddy, on top of the prototype being on Freddy's foot. I wonder though where the hell a giant robot bear and orphaned child are hiding though

I'm so happy you did a normal playthrough! You're the only person I really enjoy watching play fnaf these days and ngl I really wanted to know more about the story

I relive the same Zoom incident for the fourth time already, it feels like a loop, there's always something going wrong

The "Zoom of '23" will not be forgotten. Legend says they may never zoom again.

One thing I like about this game is how the animatronics react to Gregory. Like when Roxy shows up for the first time she gets distracted when she hears Gregory’s voice. You would be rightfully angry if someone drive a go cart into your skull and stole your eyes

LETS HOPE IT ACTUALLY STAYS UP THIS TIME

Loaf knocking over The soundproof was the best I honestly can’t believe it did not come out with very many bugs😂

to be honest i really hope there's another dlc for this game, all three endings of ruin feel incomplete to me

I love how eclipse is literally just a repair and Roxy only hates Gregory and straight up apologizes when she attacks you and realizes she got the wrong person after you respond. Nice how they give them more character instead of all of them just getting the destroy treatment like with Gregory.

The zoomer would easily destroy the twitchers and RU-vidrs no a question, they have proven too powerful to contain

spiff if any part of food is moldy you should toss it all since the mold has likely spread to every part of the food, it just isnt visible

"is that a brain?" oh spiff, you and your gift of prophecy...

i wanna say, as a student who used zoom most of the time. I just knew the zoomers chat would run into "issues"
