Put her in every trailer, marketing and the very icon of the game
ONly for her to be less than 5 minutes in the game?

>>713463310 (OP)
To not spoil the rest

>>713463310 (OP)
MY NAME IS EDWIN
I MADE THE MIMIC

>>713463310 (OP)
The Dimitrescu treatment

>>713463310 (OP)
MY NAME IS THE FUCKING MIMIC OH YEAH

>Circus Baby never appeared in Sister Location, except as a shell
>Scrap Baby barely shows up in Pizzeria Simulator
>Vanny shows up in a couple scripted segments in SB
at this point it's a series tradition for the marketed character to not actually appear much ingame

>>713466001
Hell, the title character for the series was relevant for exactly 1 (one) game.

>>713466124
For all its faults, at least SB gave Freddy the spotlight again in a fresh way.

The Mascot Horror genre relies a lot on having an eyecatching design for its primary marketing campaign. This is because the quality of a mascot monster design comes down to how close it is to being scary while simultaneously looking like something that was genuinely designed as a pure toy. You need a degree of originality and subconscious repulsion that is not found in more conventional Horror works who only worry about the first part.A good mascot that toes this line is therefore a good sign for the game and players know this.

For example, this is why Huggy Wuggy is one of the greatest mascot of the genre, he looks like a normal toy until his mouth opens.

All of this encourage the devs to put the design they are the most confident in front and center. For Secret of the Mimic, the Mimic himself is not cute/doesn't look like a toy, Big Top and Moon looks too weird, Nurse Dolly and the other costumes are too blands (though I think they could've done some clever marketing with them), and Red Tiger doesn't look like a robot at all, which is part of FNAF's identity. Jackie was the most suited for the role to reel people in, not to mentions clown being scaries is still a thing a little bit.

>>713463824
why did he do it bros

>>713463824
he made a lot more than that apparently

>No sex appeal
And that's why it failed...

>>713463824
NO... NOT THE CLOWN. WHAT HAVE I DONE? I'M SORRY!

>>713467854
CLOWN ATTACK!!!!!

>>713466001
SL has Baby talking to you basically nonstop though, so that's fine.

>>713467854
Lmao kek.

>F10NA gets you to put her in the Edwin house
>doesn't do anything
What?

>>713470884
But you don't do that. You just turn on the MIXES and then she blindly thinks Edwin is coming back when you return to the factory area.

>>713463310 (OP)
Nobody tell this guy how long the Xenomorph in Alien was on screen.

>>713471319

Half the movie?

>>713463824
THERE IS A CAAAAAAAR? AND IT IS GOING TO HIT ME-AAAHHHHHHH

>>713463310 (OP)
Okay, now make a game about Roxy or something.

>>713471219
Yeah I smashed the whole thing out in an 8 hour playthrough no idea what MIXES is. The orange power goo?

>>713472224
It's the rabbit ai from Ruin.

>>713472137
Before or after the FUCKING MIMIC AW YEAH tore her to pieces and slam dunked them in a garbage can (where she rightfully belongs)?

>>713463310 (OP)
This game was a fucking disappointment.

>>713467602
>>No sex appeal
Speak for yourself

>>713472629
Absolutely not. It was everything I hoped it would be and more.

I will say the game is incredibly comfy. It seems the mimic only regularly spawns in the lobby and loading bay floor so you can move around the whole map freely without worry. It's a nice place, good vibes.

>>713472717
You know what anon if you're happy I'm happy.

>>713472534
Nah, she 1v1d the mimic easy.

Total Steel Wool Death
I want every employee at Steel Troon hanged by their neovagina for turning FNAF into dogshit

>>713472806
It's a fucking walking sim

>>713467248
>Huggy Wuggy
Another funny example right here of a mascot not appearing

>>713473498
>What is stealth

>>713472534

>>713474021
This game is too forgiving to really use stealth.

>>713472717

You hoped it would be a garbage poppy playtime rip off with boring gameplay, no horror anything and horrible garbage lore that literally retcons Afton and Henry?

>>713474021
>>713472806
> The mimic doesn't even spawn
> BUT IT'S TOTALLY A STEALTH SIM

. . .

>>713463310 (OP)
I just wish it had a chapter select so you don't have to power through 9/10th of game to get full access.

>>713474931
>poppy playtime rip off
Stopped reading right there. Come back when you've played more than just a handful of mascot horror games.

>> GO AWAY AND DON'T COME BACK

You leave, nigger. Go b ack to sucking huggy wuggy cock.

>>713463824
IT WAS DIFFICULT TO PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER

>>713475360
>to get full access.

The secret ending is not worth it though it's literally 3 minutes long without a proper ending.

He did nothing wrong

He's a fraud and stole everything from Edwin.

THEY TORE ME APAAAART

THEY USED ME FOR PAAAARTS

>>713474931
Mascot horror fags will look you dead in the eye and say Tommy's Terror is a rip-off of Nignog and the Record Label, because Nignog and the Record Label was the first game EVER to let the player collect items

>>713476684
THEY TOOK AWAY MY FAAAACE

THEY TOOK AWAY MY ARM

Why the fuck was Mr. Big Top and Nurse so determined to get me?

>>713477572
Y'all never guess

>>713463310 (OP)
NO SHE PUT BOMBS IN MY BELONGINGS!

I think the Mimic was a dumb "correction" to Slick Willy being back yet again. The more I learn about it, the less I give a fuck about the direction of modern FNAF.

>>713463310 (OP)
I thought all the animatronics were walking around on their own, it wasn't until looking it up online that I realized the mimic was always the one chasing you or something.

>>713477572
logically speaking, because they got Mimic'd, and in the case of Dollie it's explicitly confirmed that this is the case
but They also kill you on their first appearances anyways so they have no excuse there
