“The only human employee LEFT” is the line that convinced me it’s a Security Breach prequel that involves/shows/takes place with Vanny’s infiltration and takeover of the Pizzaplex and that we very possibly will be playing as Cassie’s dad or even Luis
Luis is in the IT department which like Computers I think. Plus with the presence of the Faz wrench panel in the Help Wanted 2 teaser in the elevator as well Cassie mentioning him in Ruin its safe to he'll be our protagonist.
SL and SB seem to have a sort of connection to each other, because they are the two strongest themes in these teasers. But that's just a mini theory. Another (semi)mini theory is that nightmare gas could be what's bringing SL back to life, it possibly creating visual and auditory hallucinations surrounding the disassembled mascot husks in the scooping room. Maybe nightmare gas is being extracted and experimented on by whoever is running the Pizzaplex, and that's also why Scrap Baby makes an appearance. Another shell in the basement's basement for the gas to trick us into thinking is coming back to life.
There's one thing that I've actually always wondered: could it be that the games made by the indy dev that are supposed to be canon in universe are not the entire games we've played before getting into FNAF Help Wanted, but only the FNAF minigames for each game? After all that's exactly what they are, games inside our games. Connected yet disconnected from the main game. Could it be that the main gameplay is what happened and the minigames are what Help Wanted refers to? After all, most of the children's death, possessions, crimes in general are shown in the minigames.
If anything the opposite would make more sense. FNAF 1-3 in Help Wanted have no minigames or context and are just devoid of Easter eggs or secrets. They, like the FNAF games themselves, seemingly are just covering up the big events and parodying the night shift experiences instead which themselves are not super confidential information. Possibly the night guard names being different from Michael Afton's in the original FNAF games is a product of this fabrication to conceal info.
My personal help wanted 2 theory: I think it’s a game made to teach employees how to work in the mega pizza plex but after faz bear decided to tern it into a vr game by adding sister location and fnaf 6 stuff to wich the mimic into when it when it was scanned in. The mimic saw the scooper wich is the only item In the entire franchise were an Anamatronics possed a humans wich the mimic wanted to well mimic with possessing Vanessa but before he could faz bear realised and shut the game down. Later when help wanted 1 came out he did his plan and possed vannesa
I *really* hope they nail the horror aspect, because from the sound of it, it's giving 2010 wii shovelware vibes. VR1 was really solid because it was fucking terrifying
I think they can do good with the horror, almost all of the categories arent really well lit so it adds a lot of opportunities of demons coming from the dark
if you pay attention to the endo matching game, there's more endos inching closer in the darkness... I think the minigames might not be quite spooky, but the sister location secret room footage we see, and other recreations of the original gameplay seem pretty creepy at least
My guess is that we'll be playing as multiple people, Vanessa or Cassie's dad for staff only, and Cassie for parts like doing makeup with Roxanne, maybe the memory card game, and the foxy cowboy game
I really hope we're playing as Vanessa in at least one game, It would make up for her time in security breach.... Also hope we get To play as Cassie in One game.
The lack of sedatives is odd, especially since i believe the mask says "Calming Gas" on it, which is more that a little suspect. Love the thumbnail btw.
If it does say that on the mask (didn’t see that written there) then it’s probably there in a sinister way to make the player think it’s just harmless, helpful gas when it’s really not
Here’s how I think the whole Vanessa and vanny thing should have been handled, I think vanny should have been more like glitchtrap (a digital ghost in the machine), while her physical form is the vanni mask but her digital form is like glitchtrap and mxes, but in order to actually interact with the real world she needs to possess of host body (via Vanessa) so she uses the vanni mask to possess Vanessa’s body and mind, but she can’t fully take over so she’s only able to be in control for 1 hour a day, I imagine that vanni would be made to specifically be Vanessa’s polar opposite, basically I imagine that vanny would resent and be envious of Vanessa and so she would want to ruin her life and steal her identity, and the only way to save Vanessa is the destroy the mask so in this way that would make Vanessa and vanny 2 separate people while sharing the same body, this idea was inspired by majora’s mask from legend of Zelda majora’s mask, the mask from crash bandicoot, carnage from venom, and common ghost possession.
The trailer says this is our first day and that we're a new employee which doesn't make sense if we're Vanessa but also doesn't make sense if there are no human staff left as why a new hire. However if this is a VR experience specifically a training for new employees before they actually work at the Pizzaplex this all makes sense. You could be playing this anywhere in the timeline including after there are no employees well also being the new hire as you may not really be a employee but listing to a old program. This also would explain anything unexplainable like how both the Funtimes and Scrapbaby could exist alongside the Blob (Tangle), or using the Foxy log ride but it was never opened at the Pizzaplex, or the Helpy section makes sense as you're training on him instead of a real person as why/how else would he feel pain or need anesthetic or have rabies. The horror sections also makes sense as it could be either danger training to prepare someone for anything or corruption of the program by Glitchtrap. All in all it seems to make more sense that this is a VR experience rather than the real world, and with that we could be playing as anyone at anytime from Cassie's dad to Vanessa to maybe even Gregory before Security Breach or after Ruin. (BTW if we see anything of Ruin that would confirm this is VR as we've now seen the Pizzaplex still operating in multiple mini games).
I think this is likely true, especially the point about this being an employee's first day. If it is a VR experience, it could just as easily be happening during the day for a daytime employee and only appears to be at night because it's a VR game. There's no reason they couldn't still be hiring new daytime employees even after the all-staff meeting. But it doesn't necessarily have to be for a daytime employee. The Pink Slip note in Security Breach says that "we will no longer need nighttime coverage. We will be reducing nighttime hours effective immediately." I take "coverage" in the first sentence to mean completely staffed. The pizzaplex no longer needs a full night staff. The second sentence mentioned nighttime hours would be reduced, not eliminated. It's possible that they would have a skeleton crew come in, possibly a technician to calibrate the animatronics and games while the place is closed plus the night guard (Vanessa) for security. That's why, I would still bet on this being Cassie's dad over Vanessa.
@@dreacranfordWhat I had ment is the statements "the new hire" and "no humans left" together don't make sense unless it's VR. If all humans were gone why would Glitchtrap allow a new hire to potentially ruin his plans, and with Vanessa being there plus the implication there is still some staff then the statement "no humans left" should be false, but if it's VR then it all make sense as it's just a program which would think anyone is an new employee well also making sense why you wouldn't see people. I'm pretty sure the "all staff meeting" was the way of getting rid of any of the employees that couldn't be taken care of in a legal way or raising suspicions like all the technicians and remaining night crew who would get in the way, I imagine only people who worked in the day were left. Something to note is Cassie and her dad seem to have been with the Pizzaplex for some time so him only showing up near its end doesn't make sense, it makes more sense for him to be among the "all staff meeting" then to be hired after which is close to the events of Security Breach. With it being a VR game I think it's possible it can be literally anyone at any time, it could be Vanessa just being tortured more in VR or maybe it's how Gregory is got or Cassie's dad actually being hired years ago or someone else.
7:25 I think this might be a call to the newest Tales From the Pizzaplex with the story alone together. just food for thought though. you are awesome and your theories are awesome no matter what anyone says. have a great day :]
When I saw the trailer and release date two days ago, I was in the middle of brushing my teeth and I ran to my boyfriend, while foaming at the mouth -like Helpy- and chaotically half-shouted something to the effect of “HEY HEY HEY GUESS WHAT HELP WANTED 2 IS COMING OUT NEXT MONTH ON THE 14th CAN YOU BELIEVE IT AHHH” making wild hand gestures. He shut me down with “You need help” and I died a little inside. Remind me to never be excited about anything again.
Perhaps we'll learn more about Tape Girl from HW 1 and what ended up happening to her. We don't know that, right? Or we might learn more about the people from Silver Parasol, the supposed fictional game devs of the VR experience. Or the people mentioned in the e-mails we see in FNAF AR.
Counter argument for 3rd possibility, what if it is a vr game, and the sl and ffps games are made up, but contain mistakes. We wernt fixing helpy in that vent corridor, we were faking tasks to trick animatronics. Maybe this shows that when they made the vr game, they didnt find the fnaf 6 and sl areas, but when this new vr game came out, they found scrap baby and funtime freddy. This along with glitchtrap's apperence means that glitchy boi here cant be william, because this new fazbear didnt have scraptrap to scan into the system.
It could also been what we play Cassy´s Dad. And its a Timejump between Sister location and the Pizzaplex. Maybe Cassy´s Dad is a Fazzbear Technican, and worked for Afton since Sister Location. And is the Lucky one who diddn´t get killed in the Bunker and then many years later he worked at the pizzaplex.
Hear me out, they are retraining you for the opening of the Pizzaplex and the Sister location section could be a VR attraction at The Plex that you are testing abd never opened
I think the matching game is teaching the endo how to play. Because it has the mimic1 program in it, it can learn from what you are doing. That’s my theory.
13:06 I dont know why...I love that aswell,and even feel bad for him,imagine him bieng like "I know its gonna jumpscare me,I know it will,I know it will,I know i-HAAAAA" jajajaja I love it
Am I the only one who sees the endoskeleton in the back of the matching game with the red eyes that looks like the mimic? Nobody has pointed it out, and it seems pretty obvious
I'm so happy I'm going to be seeing and hears Funtime Freddy my #1 from top 10 favorite animatronics. To his design lil bonbon his part in the game being the most memorable he is the moment. I loved Helpy so he is just a bigger version with more personality! Can't wait to for this game. Also #2 favorite but like on even ground of Funtime Freddy is Happy frog I wish more happy frog comes soon
So it's widely agreed upon that In Help Wanted that you play as Venessa(Testing a vr game) and of course we all know what happens to her. If Help Wanted 2 isn't a game(theory) could this 100% be a sequel to Help Wanted 1 and a prequel to SB? Which in the vr games now and to come that we are playing the the eyes of Vanessa. (which has happened before in FNAF2 if I remember correctly with that cutscene being in the eyes of Freddy)
I love the logic of you cant be giving Helpy a sedative gas because the company doesnt have the license allowing them to have that, but nightmare gas is totally ok for them to have. 😂 i know its not the case but Im just having fun imagine them having a licence to carry gas thats only purpose is to inflict psychological trauma
17:30 The thing about Vanny and Vanessa being the same person is the fact that when you put on the mask in Ruin, you dont know how much time is passing. You usually need to put it on in order to go through manufactured boundaries, maybe Vanessa was just doing the same thing. But, in her time thinking she's looking for Gregory in the cameras, she's actually hunting him down as Vanny. When she takes off the mask, shes placed exactly where she was just thinking she was, giving her the illusion that checking the mask is all she did.
Things I think would be cool to see in help wanted 2 or a possible future game or dlc. 1. A parts and service minigame with glamrock Bonnie and perhaps glamrock foxy as an Easter egg. 2. A minigame with the blob/tangle 3. More glitchtrap. 4. Tiger rock. 5. A new version of the mimic. 6. New 8 bit minigames with lore. 7. New human or animatronic characters. 8. Silver parasol or a new game studio 9. A new villain. 10. Characters from the tales from the pizzaplex books either appearing or being referenced.
3:39 Worries about not being able to play it? (hehe) I think it will take 1 or 2 months hopefully to release on meta standalone. Due to my lack of PC hardware, I had to wait a year on help wanted 1 for a quest version.
Random idea I came up with rn what if the O2 canisters from the original SL custom night get turned into nightmare gas canisters? if the gas is a real thing of course.
"the only human employee" if we are playing as Vanessa/Vanny it would be a better explanation for fnaf AR, since that game is garbage. imo(and if this game is actually a SB prequel)
I’m pretty sure Help Wanted 2 is just a VR simulation made by Fazbear Entertainment to train employees. This would explain why Handunit is talking about the different employment opportunities that each minigame is based on.
This would be cool! I really liked the "game within a game" thing that Help Wanted 1 did (although it's not really that, i guess you could call it "game which acknowledges it's a game)
Also qould make sense that they do it this way (given that there is definitely someone up in management that wants the aftonvirus to spread/be free or something), more subjects to infect through VR.
yeah maybe in story it's a training game that was created specially for the only human employee left to give them some form of base-level education on what their job entails
@Kyle-cg3euBro, if you think the game is ass, why you watching this video and complaining about it? You could just, like, oh I don’t know, not watch the video? You’re literally going out of your way to trouble yourself and complain about it being bad??
The Ballora bit looks almost exactly like the fnaf escape room fan game level where you have to put Baby's limbs back on and un corrupt her system or something like that. You have to keep Freddy asleep with Bonnie's sound ques, and you have to shock Ballora when she crab walks up to the left and right doors. If you go look at it you'll understand what I'm talking about
in the HW2 trailer that's the sister location secret room, the one when you take a left instead of a right when Baby says to in the game... you're talking about the fnaf game The Glitched Attraction and yeah the ballora animation really reminds me of it xD
Small issues: First, the indie dev didn’t finish anything past 3, 4-modern is real. Second, Pizzeria Sim WAS open to the public, that is what the Tycoon section is, in fact animatronics can actively sneak into the building via hiding in things you order, meaning the dev could’ve easily seen Scrap Baby hiding
I have a theory about the endoskeleton section! Notice how the cards have a happy kid and a birthday cake, if you loop back around to security breach with the whole endoskeleton system. There’s a bunch of doors showing the do’s and don’t’s for what the Endos should do. For example, giving a child a birthday cake. So I believe this mini game, we are trying to train the endo to be “well behaved” and not a murder machine. I haven’t read the tales of the pizzaplex books so if there’s any connection to that, let me know!
I have something to tell about the Foxy Log Ride. In Ruin dlc when we enter Foxy's Log Ride attraction we cannot wear the mask, so just imagine if we are able to put on the mask we could actually see the log ride attraction in proper condition, because if we pause the game in that attraction, then in the bottom left corner we could see a description " THEY NEVER DID FINISH THE FOXY LOG RIDE. SAFETY CONCERNS " yet when we collect the AR Foxy Plush the description says " THAT LOG RIDE WAS SO MUCH FUN " which means that the log ride was built in AR WORLD not in the real world and Cassie's dad used Cassie to run a test ride, that's why she remembers about the Log Ride. So, finally we are going to experience Foxy Log Ride in HELP WANTED 2
A small theory I have is if Help Wanted 2 isn't entirely an in universe game, maybe there are new Funtime animatronics/endoskeletons. From the first trailer, we see Ballora's jumpscare, and she has blue eyes, unlike purple in the original game. Maybe some other or new employees brought or made new endos and used the shells that were left over after the events of Sister Location. If this game isn’t an in universe game 100%, that would explain why the SL animatronics are back again. Then again, if might just be a recreation like HW 1 since Scrap Baby and custom night are in this trailer.
If your idea of Vanny coaxing Gregory over to Glitchtrap really happens, I would LOVE if Vanny does the same gimmick as Glitchtrap hiding in the corner of the pizzeria in HW1. Standing in the dark corner, waving from the shadows, slowly approaching as the game progresses. Hell maybe we could even get the scene from the security breach trailer that got scrapped, with Vanny saying “it was just a glitch… your friends are worried Gregory. They’re with me” to lure him out.
Shot in the Dark: We are playing as Vanny being induced and getting rid of the other employees. Shes on mightmare gas the entire game while learning the history of freddys through these games. the Helpi section could very well be an employee shes killing but the visage of the gas makes her see Helpi and the ads on the tv (being the heart rate monitor/remnant tracker?). The popcorn is a subtle influence on her to see the foaming mouth on the suffering employee shes cutting as that FAZBEAR product.
Theory, the game isn't a game, well at least the part where you put a gas mask on Helpie, the gas makes the player think its Helpie but its actually a kid, and this whole game will be more dark than we think. Helpie even shakes from the gas, something a robot wouldnt do since its a "robot".
I’m really scared if they add in the night 4 springlock suit in sister location. I could barely beat it in sister location. I feel like it would be terrifying stuck in the suit and having to rush to do all of it. Maybe if you are moving too fast the springlocks will fail and you actually see them failing. Idk sees really cool and scary
My theory is that help wanted 2 is like those AR/VR booths from the books like Drowning, where instead of seeing the pizzaplex you see things low "what foxy's logfloon is going to look like" "here's what a pizzaplex staff life is like" that turns to bad because the person playing starts getting pursued by animatronics, but it turns out they are already dead. It happened too much in the books for it to be a book only idea
Maybe it's half VR game and half "reality" with Vanessa playing the games and Vanny carrying out Glitchtrap's plan. That would explain the Sister Location and FNAF6 era animatronics being included along side Security Breach era. Similarly, it could possibly be Vanny wearing the VANNI mask and those older animatronics are augmented reality to further instill Elizabeth's past into Vanessa.
I’m curious of something. Didn’t the original trailer say “Welcome back to *”another week”* yet now this is saying it’s our first day. Could the FFPS game play take place BEFORE SL? 🤔
Not gonna lie, that "helping Helpy" minigame has me wondering if the VR headset/mask we're wearing is making us THINK we're working on Helpy when it's really a human person (after all, robots don't feel pain and scream if you saw off a limb). If that's Vanessa that might be what happened to those kids that went missing from the Pizzaplex before Gregory got locked in. That would fit what we've seen the Vanny mask do in Ruin.
THEORY: Some people have been saying that we play as Cassies dad in fnaf vr 2, what if the sl section is that one technician mentioned in the original sl game that is in physical recovery, therefore he could've been there, with the fazwrench, (the fazwrench slots were shown in the first hw 2 trailer in the sl elevator), he worked at the pizza sim location, as the first guy (after the give pizza minigame we encounter scrap baby and she gets in, but only for that section) therefore we only see scrap baby, he prolly got fired for not salvaging everyone or bankruptcy, then was one of the remaining people working at the pizza plex, cassie knows ab his dad's work, and how she acknowledges the fazwrench like the one her dad has. I honestly like this thought and idk I think it'd be a really good way to connect it all.
Thank you, as someone new to the franchise your videos have been great, you're very good at explaining things and the structure and editing is so well done! I thought I should mention though that I found the music in the back of this video a bit distracting, but that might just be a me thing so take that feedback with a grain of salt of course !
I really like your interpretation but like you said the only problem is. That would mean molten Freddy and scrap baby both survived the fnaf 6 fire(which honestly is possible since springtrap did) AND that the Funtime all split up and went back to sister location to rebuild themselves like what baby did when she was kicked out. That’s the only way I can see this being real.(im 100% down for more scrap baby though so I won’t completely hate this. Since baby was so underutilized after she seemed like the new big bad)
Seeing Scrapbaby there makes me worry that Fuhnaf's "Baby is the big bad" theory is more correct than most of us want it to be. Best case scenario this game is a prequel to Security Breach and BABY survived Pizzariea Simulator but is destroyed before Security Breach
So you know how Helpy is effectively taken over by the mimic 1 program and the Glitchtrap virus, what if you’re actually sanitizing Helpy in that mini game with the foam? I could totally see them using a play on words for that Parts and Service mini game along the lines of sanitation and antiviral treatment. Literal vs metaphorical viral cleansing. Plus, that’s what happens when you use cleaner on dirty stuff, the product foams.
@@derrickdaniels3955 MatPat is off base with that one. That’s not popcorn. Why would we put a muzzle-like mask on him to make popcorn inside of Helpy’s body? Lol though nothing makes sense in FNAF anyway.
I had an Idea about Help Wanted 1 and I think it fits here too, maybe it gives a different perspective on things: What if we play as Gregory in FNAF Help Wanted? So Vanessa got taken over by the glitchtrap virus, she creates the tapes for players to find and collect, to get players to get "glitchtrapped" too (like a gaming mechanic to entice players) and the one who does it and gets taken over is Gregory. His parents feel like something's off, so they send him to therapy. In control, Glitchtrap makes him kill the therapists who get too close to the truth and one day, after the Pizzaplex finished being built, Gregory goes there and never leaves. Until he finds a way to disconnect himself from the Virus (maybe with help from Charlie and the Baloon Boy Arcade). Glitchtrap and Vanny search for him and they try using the other animatronics. When Freddy sees Gregory, he senses something is different, since Gregory isn't possessed anymore and maybe has the protection of Charlie on him (If she is even involved anymore), wich doesn't compute with the Virus so he short circiuts, gets set into safe mode and here we are at the beginning of Security breach! Just some thoughts though, but maybe this is a somewhat new take and I think it kinda makes sense. But Help Wanted 2 might throw away everything I just wrote xD Great Video by the way, I really enjoy your content, much love
Thats not really true. Because 1, we see in Help Wanted, when we put on the Vanny mask, a women is talking to someone (glitchtrap). Implying it’s US talking, aka Vanessa (since she’s Vanny). And also, tape girl being Vanessa doesn’t make sense since she doesn’t want the player to collect the tapes at the start. So, she can’t be Vanessa. It’s confirmed by the game itself that it is Vanessa. There’s nobody else it could be.
@@zAch90ed it was Just an Idea I had, never Said it was "true". Sometimes Just tossing around Ideas can give a different perspective. I know it doesn't completely makes sense but we have seen more outlandish theories in this Community haven't we? :D
That would be cool if help wanted 2 was like a prequel for security breach you know like what happened in the pizza plex before Gregory came before Bonnie got destroyed
I saw the title "help wanted 2 is here" and got flashbacks to when FNAF 3 dropped out of nowhere and I found out because people started making youtube videos with interesting lore things they found.
18:20 *that's three snags, five counting these ones* 20:42 *the pizzeria section of fnaf 6 literally states how many customers you get* *however we all know your talking about the vent and back ally sections*
am i the only one who thinks the glamrock endo matching thing IS mystic hippo? the cards flipped dont directly match yet the player still got a good result. and if i remember correctly the blog post said something about mystic hippo using cards. just a thought
well the cards were a child and a cake so the matching game is likely more about connecting concepts than literal pictures (possibly mirroring the murals in the endo corridors teaching them how to act.) Also mystic hippo is supposed to 'read your mind' via eyetracking and that specific minigame is psvr2 exclusive, so I don't think it really lines up with the Endo game.
According to one of the Tales From The Pizzaplex books, Ballora is in the building somewhere. So if this isn’t just a vr recreation in-universe, the books could explain why she’s there
Scrap Baby and the other animatronics were kinda implied to be roaming the streets since they just show up to the FNAF 6 alleyway, so someone could have seen them before Michael could drag them inside for salvaging
I think this game is going to be a continuation off Ruin and we’ll be playing as Cassie after she has put on the Vanny mask and probably gone insane. The Mega Pizzaplex was most likely built on top of Fnaf 6 & Fnaf Sister Location, so the mask could be recreating things that happened in those places from the past? I think by the end of the game we might catch on to what is happening, take off the mask and get some more lore on the mimic, maybe the blob or what not. I mean the first teaser for HW 2 starts in an elevator and the main Ruin ending ended in an elevator? 🤷♂️
What if help wanted 1 was to get Gregory on their side, with imagery of fnaf 1-4, trying to make him like the crying child, and making finding the tapes a fun sidequest for someone who loves gaming. While help wanted 2 will show how Vanessa was curupt
