Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic

Secret of the Mimic is the newest entry in the FNaF franchise, and like its two other entries, while it doesn't have an entire separate game in it, it still has a lot of leftover content.

To do: Finish ripping stuff. Add all the whiteboxed content outside of maps, such as the "Your Ad Here" signs in the intro.

Unused Graphics#

All of the props towards the entrance are missing, while the pathway leading to the warehouse and workshop airlocks contains some boxes, a shelving unit, a few posters and the Bonnie cardboard cutout from the Curse of Dreadbear DLC for Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted, which doesn't appear anywhere in the final game.

Unused Strings#

Fall Fest Ticket Book#

"1970 Fall Fest Ticket Book"

Unused Videos#

All videos are located in FNAF_SOTM/Content/Movies.

Unfilted Birthday Films#

Unfiltered versions of the five birthday films found in the Murray family's house.

The filters are applied in-game, and the audio is muted and replaced with its own files, despite this there is no audible difference between the 5 reels.

Cut Ending#

In the Level Sequence LS_TempEnding_04 is the synopsis for a scrapped fourth ending of the game, the ending would be as follows.

Ending 4 - “Redeemed“ (Good Ending) 
You override Mimic using the profile of the Inventor himself.
Mimic becomes “locked-in“ to the Inventor's persona. 
The game ends with the Mimic at his Son's grave, mourning the loss of his child"

There is not much more known about this ending, but it's assumed this was scrapped and reworked in favor of the third ending.

VR Mode#

The release build of the game contains a super unfinished version of the now-released VR mode. It is impossible to interact with most levers (requiring you to use the mouse), and all buttons are broken. You can play up until the end of Jackie's segment without the game locking up on you, though.

Oddities#

Hedgehog Hudgie's Name#

Hedgehog Hudgie's object names in certain maps refer to him as "Hedgehog Henry". Signs seen in the pre-release build of the game, seem to reveal that his was his original name.

He also originally went by Harry Hedgehog in the name of the audio track that plays from cutouts as distractions.

Dollie Cutout#

Alone tucked away in the corner of the Workshop are two cutouts, one of Barker and one of Dollie, while both of them have no textures (and in-game are overwritten by a default wood plank material), the Dollie cutout seems to have been modelled after her concept art.

Fazbear Singing Friends Record#

For unknown reasons, you can place the Fazbear Singing Friends record inside of one of the many projectors around the game, and this plays the FazForce advertisement from Help Wanted 2, although it has no audio.
