Theory Briefing

  • In FNAF: RUIN's Standard Ending, an elevator is deliberately dropped on protagonist Cassie, with no clear culprit identified in-game.
  • The 'ElevatorCulprit' label is a fan-made catchall, showing how ambiguous narrative design fuels entire ecosystems of competing theories.
  • Leading suspects include Glitchtrap, the Mimic, and corrupted versions of Gregory — each supported by different readings of the game's lore.
