“ | So, let me explain the situation. One of our contractors, Edwin Murray, has gone missing, leaving our property abandoned in his warehouse. Your job is simple. Enter the warehouse and retrieve the technology that he was developing for us. It's a kind of prototype endoskeleton that can adapt to any costume, and become any character. We suspect it might be malfunctioning, so just be aware of the slim but non-zero chance that you could sustain significant injuries while attempting to retrieve it, including, but not limited to, death or dismemberment. We fully expect the retrieval process to go smoothly and without incident, but just in case, we suggest you get your affairs in order before arriving. | ” |

Trivia[]
- The game will likely take place in 1979, as the date breifly flashes on-screen at the end of the initial teaser trailer.
- Brian Freyermuth, the design director at Steel Wool, quoted Steel Wool's announcement post on X/Twitter, saying, "The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones," a quote from William Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar." It is currently unknown what this means in relation to Secret of the Mimic.[2]
- This was the first non-DLC FNaF game developed by Steel Wool to not be announced during a PlayStation event.
- The game was seemingly developed under the internal name "Carnival," as a project called carnival was hinted at in out-of-bounds text within RUIN, and the link to the game's PlayStation page also lists it as "FNAFCARNIVAL".[3]
