Censored Horror Elements (List)

[mdesaleah]

(found in the audio files for the game)

1) Gregory cutting his arm while crawling through the first vent. Dialogue cut stating he hurt himself. https://mobile.twitter.com/mazOnTwt/status/1475367848579158016

2) Freddy mentioning that Gregory is bleeding, which was the reason why he went to the medical room,

3) “You are broken” is not a theory hint, it’s just censorship since an unused line mentions bleeding instead.

4) Vanny does not have a knife even though it was all over her promotional material and figures.

5) The “disappearances” of the children where meant to be directly stated as murders.

6) A certain true ending character has a toned down appearance, although that may be because you barely see the model

7) Gregory mentions that Vanessa is “trying to get me” when first seeing her. It was originally “trying to kill me”.

So this game was pretty much censored to lower the age rating and to “””appeal to the fanbase”””

Whether censored or not to fit a rating for PlayStation which seems to be the ongoing theory, I stand with Phil here. The game could have been so much more, whether updates or DLC will add more clarity, I feel like the cheap jumpscares are kind of what the series has been for a long time now since FNAF 3. Less horror and more story driven, but the story in Security breach is too spread out thin. There should have been less endings and more to tie certain endings together, more explained than the vagueness most of them left. There was some dramatic shift in development that left this game the way it was.

Whether censorship or not, there's a lot of unused elements that definitely would've made it better.

Don’t think Playstation is the reason for all the issues. It’s just the easy way to avoid confronting the tough answers.

It just seems like the easy scapegoat in order to avoid blaming Steel Wool for just trying too much and overwhelming themselves while focusing on map size over functionality and horror.

And “indie team” doesn’t really excuse the quality when games like Outlast were made by even less people

In a horror game (or any other game tbh) simply cutting a bit on your arm or knowledge of a bystander character's death isnt scary and shouldnt be censored. They really wanna turn this franchise child friendly...

[mdesaleah]

Another interpretation is that Gregory didn’t get injured in the vents, but Vanny used her knife on his arm at the start of the game.

Since the knife got censored out, and so did the blood, then they completely cut the intro.

That would explain why it’s so sudden and like it’s missing something

I was a bit weirded out by In The Flesh at first, but now I'd rather see whatever the frick happened there than some unnecessary censors being applied to appeal to an audience that shouldn't be taking in anything from this franchise at all.

Assuming the second one was changed so that it could lead to the creation of the "Gregory is a robot" theory, there is absolutely no reason to replace 1st and 3rd. Especially 1st, since this is a series of games revolving around a child-killer.

True, if they really wanted him to be a robot in the cut version of the story, then it would be a maintenance room with spare parts

But that would absolutely give it away, I suppose. But that theory is probably wrong, although Mat makes a few points that aren't wrong.

I'd love to know as well on how the spares/endos work.
Vanessa threats Freddy to be disassembled and put a new endo below the Freddy suit.
I assume these suits are interchangeable a la Disney.


Would this affect the personality?
Seems each endo has some sort of issue or trauma ( Chica with the food issues, Monty with rage and envy issues, Roxy with her self esteem issues, moon/sun with bipolarity)

I also assume that each endo has its own way of acting, behavior, persona, etc.., they just program the character on top. (hence why each endo has its quirk)

Also... Would the "safe mode" be what made Freddy so friendly and protective of Gregory to the point of lying to Vanessa?
Their default mode made them completely obedient of Vanessa's orders? (as in why chica, roxy and monty seems to follow orders with no questions).

Fun Fact: properly compressing the game makes it 30gb instead of the ridiculous 80 currently

If you check the first teaser trailer, other than the cut dialogue she says that “Your friends are worried about you. They’re here with me”. So that confirms that there was originally going to be more to the “”””disappearances””””.


Although it’s weird that a game that was not meant for children would release a later sequel that was dumbed down for a rating

You can also find the mentioned cut lines in here but there are a lot of them, and it might be better to wait for a compilation video going over what happened with this entire game.

You crack me up. The game at no point would've been rated M period. I would easily rate these games as T max and you act like they weren't meant for kids. I disagree. Kids are exactly the intended audience. The fact you enjoy the series doesn't change that. There's been no real gore, swearing or anything else that would put this over a T rating. Hilariously stupid attempt at some form of gatekeeping to make you feel better about liking a kids game.

For the record I'm not even saying there is anything wrong with enjoying it as an adult, I've liked plenty of games that weren't M rated. I'm just saying at least be honest with yourself.

No one is saying it should be rated M xD.

But it’s pretty obvious that the the first game especially, and 2-4 are definitely NOT meant for children .

You can call it gatekeeping all you want, but at no point am I saying that children can’t play them just that the games shouldn’t be talked at children first like SB.

If SB was actually trying to be scary and not censoring the smallest elements of horror, kids would still play it so it only harms the game to make it less horror
