All Text Logs in FNAF: Secret of the Mimic

by

In “Five Nights at Freddy’s: Secret of the Mimic,” the narrative unfolds primarily through text logs hidden across the factory that you can collect. By piecing together these logs, a sequence of events is created and other game elements like Audio Logs and Film Reels are connected. To discover these text logs, you must locate all 42 mailboxes scattered throughout the game, each holding one or more text logs.

After gathering a log within “FNAF: Secret of the Mimic”, you have the ability to read it at any of the game’s terminal computers. These logs remain accessible even across New Game + playthroughs, and there is an achievement for completing the collection. This article delves into the details of these logs, categorized based on the aspects of the story they emphasize. To locate every mailbox in the game, refer to this guide.

MCM’s Successes

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment as I scrutinize this rather scant collection of records. Yet, within these pages, there lies a glimpse of MCM’s monumental triumphs that followed the introduction of the Clean-O-Vac. Alas, it was before their trajectory took an unexpected downturn.

Love That Ticket Booth!

This unique ticket station not only plays music and collects tickets but also displays signs for advertising or guidance with its multiple appendages. It can even be equipped with additional swings, transforming it into an enjoyable ride (and we’ll include the swings at no extra cost as a bonus).

Chica’s Party World

Dear Mr. Murray,

Fiona’s chicken designs have been a huge hit! The client is thrilled with her work and sales are skyrocketing. However, the costume could use a touch more of Fiona’s artistic flair to make it truly shine. I’m concerned about how well it might resonate with children, as it’s given me some rather unsettling dreams.

Best regards, Milton

MCM’s Relationship with Fazbear Entertainment

These communications reveal the relationship between MCM and Fazbear Entertainment, demonstrating the projects Edwin was developing for them. It further exposes how Fazbear Entertainment manipulated this relationship to seize Edwin’s creations by stealing his designs and luring employees away from MCM. This is supported by messages suggesting that Fazbear Entertainment was recruiting MCM staff, as well as evidence of employees leaving MCM with Edwin’s work in tow.

When coupled with certain audio recordings scattered throughout the game, it is evident that Fazbear Entertainment employed a predatory yet profitable agreement to consume increasingly larger amounts of MCM’s resources – both time and money. This strategy involved stealing their employees in the process, with the ultimate aim of claiming everything when MCM inevitably failed to meet the terms of the contract.

Springlocks

Hey there! The updated springlocks are functioning splendidly, despite the water issues. They’re almost good to go for the diner. Just need to let Hen know about a few quirks they may exhibit.

Staff Contracts

We’re just about to reach our destination. I urgently need the contact details for all Murray staff members. The quicker you can provide them, the better. If you manage to get those for me, I have an attractive offer on the table – the opportunity to oversee one of our new franchise locations. How does that sound to you?” – W.A.

Moving On!

Ken, I was given the job offer just after a single interview! It all moved incredibly fast. They didn’t inquire much about my work history or abilities; instead, they only asked me when I could begin working.

I plan on doubling my current earnings. Would you like to join me? If we manage to convince more Murray employees to switch jobs, there’s a referral bonus involved.

We need to go

Stan and I are leaving town. It’s best to cut our losses before matters escalate. I’ve gathered a number of Fiona’s design templates, and Stan is packing up what he can carry. Consider joining us. Armed with the knowledge we have about the restaurant project, we could establish our own machine shop instead.

Mail – Aug 3rd

Hi there! I’ve got your daily mail update. Unfortunately, your mailbox is overflowing as it hasn’t been emptied in about five weeks. The most recent letter you received was a Foreclosure Notice, and prompt action is required.

Confidential

…Regarding software development and our entire MCM collection, we’d be thrilled to have you continue as our lead engineer. While legally, we now possess the land, we have no intention of disturbing the house your parents constructed. We believe this proposal has been reasonable given your current situation. Managing everything on your own seems overwhelming. We look forward to hearing back from you. – WA

The Basement Messages/Missing Employees

These communications discuss the puzzling disappearance of staff members, while subtly providing tips on maneuvering through the mysterious underground area beneath the factory.

Power

Hey Gary, I’ve located the absent parts of that frustrating gadget at last! Heading out now to activate it. Will keep you updated.

Locators

As a gamer, I could say: “Hey folks, I’d appreciate it if someone could point out where we’re supposed to head next. I dived down there a while back, but I’ve been lost ever since.

Theater – Anyone seen Gary?

I haven’t run into Gary lately… I’m heading over to the theater now. I found a few movies there, and I recall him mentioning his interest in setting up the projector. Let me check if it’s working.

The Group Chat Messages & Employee Discontent

The collection of communications, comprising a group chat established through Murray’s outdated email system, as well as numerous other messages exchanged among staff (including conversations between workers and Edwin), clearly illustrates the escalating discontent among MCM employees towards the company, particularly Edwin’s leadership choices.

Group Chat #1

Hello all, it seems there are mailboxes everywhere. Should anyone notice something unusual, let us know so we can keep each other updated. – Pete

Group Chat #2

Pete, that’s a fantastic suggestion! It seems like Mr. Murray hasn’t been using those mailboxes for ages, making them a potential spot for us to chat privately. Sometimes it feels like the bossman is always eavesdropping…” – Penny (informal)

Group Chat #3

Barbara is puzzled as to why we’re rejecting projects when the floats are performing exceptionally well. Ed’s modular system is revolutionary, and now he wants to halt operations altogether? It seems odd because he spends most of his time in his office conversing with some device. I’m at a loss as to how to proceed.

Group Chat #4

“hey, I can’t get the incinerator up and running. The chutes are getting clogged again. – Gary”

Group Chat #5

“Anyone notice that the door locks now? What are we supposed to do, sleep here? – Ralph”

Energy Quota

Every team member is required to fulfill their energy goals before leaving for the day, with no exceptions, as stated by Milton.

I can’t take it

Barb, I’m at my wit’s end with this song; if I hear it once more, I fear I might lose control and unscrew Dollie from the wall. I’m struggling to keep going in this environment.

Projector Issues

As a gamer, I find myself once more in the frustrating position of dealing with a malfunctioning projector in the theater. Honestly, I can’t help but wonder if this kids’ show is somehow cursed. I mean, who in their right mind would think it was a good idea for Edwin to create this spooky production? And let’s not forget about those unsettling elements that give me the heebie-jeebies every time!

Theater – One more injury?

“Last night, Ralph visited the hospital. That suit seems dangerous; it might cause harm to someone eventually. If I sustain another injury, I’m planning on leaving for good. This time, I’m serious.

Waste of Money

As a gamer, I’m utterly baffled by this turn of events. Mr. Murray instructed us to discard all the old equipment in the workshop, only for Stevenson to receive a purchase order for the very same items we were tossing away, then told to set them up upstairs. These tools are in perfect working condition! It seems like an unnecessary waste of resources.

After questioning Mr. Murray about it, Stevenson was let go and has to vacate the premises by the end of the day. My two cents? Keep your trap shut. Don’t even entertain the thought. Just focus on clearing out the tunnels.

Sales Pitch

Dear Mr. Murray, I wanted to share an exciting suggestion from Bob in marketing. He thinks that costumes would be perfect for sports teams and high school pep rallies. With this idea, we could potentially double our sales output if we reach out to schools. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Sales Pitch – Rejected

I won’t be using it for sports or personal purposes. Sports have never been beneficial to me, so I have no intention of benefiting sports either.

Spell Check

Hey Ed, I’ve noticed that the marketing materials have the word “Mycelium” spelled incorrectly with two ‘l’s. This inconsistency might lead our clients to perceive us as careless and lacking attention to detail. Could you please take a look at this issue right away and correct it if possible?

Spelling is Fine!

I understand your concern, but I believe the issue isn’t significant. In fact, the typo could be beneficial in terms of copyright matters since it’s unique. Using ‘double l’ serves as a form of protection. Since it’s unlikely to be noticed by others, it won’t affect our visibility or readability significantly.

Have you heard Fiona?

This morning in R&D, I distinctly heard Fiona’s voice coming from one of the vents. It was so clear, I’d stake my mother’s life on it. I could make out Fiona and Edwin laughing and joking. Now, I can’t help but wonder why Edwin would deceive about Fall Fest. Could it be that they faked her death to claim insurance money? Frankly, I’ve never been certain about them.

Vacations

“My weekend vacation request was refused. I quit! Tell Jake I’ll be back for my things on Monday.”

The Return Letters

As a gamer diving into these text logs, it becomes clear that Murray’s Costume Manor was slowly slipping away due to recurring malfunctions and subpar products. This context is crucial because it explains why Fazbear Entertainment found an opportunity to seize control of the company, making it understandable why MCM, and particularly Edwin, were so desperate they’d fall for their trap.

Return Letter

“Dear Mr. Murray,

In May, we purchased your Magic Coat Rack for our home, which has been fantastic. Lately, though, it appears to be shifting its size unpredictably. One day I woke up to find all my coats scattered around the room and the coat rack towering ten feet tall! Could you please provide us with instructions on how to rectify this issue? We’re concerned about safety matters.

Sincerely,

B. Wyatt”

Return Letter

“Dear MCM,

My spouse is a steelworker who’s been assigned to the night shift. After trying your “Stay Up Latte,” it helped him stay awake for approximately two weeks, but unfortunately, he has since been hospitalized due to complications related to your product. Our legal team will be in touch with you shortly.

R. Quinn”

Return Letter

“Dear Mr. Murray and Co.,

Our kid adores your Jest Cereal, but the jokes enclosed within are far too inappropriate. Unfortunately, the hand buzzer frightened our dog, Fido, causing him to freeze up! We will not be purchasing this cereal anymore.

Sincerely,

E. Guerrero”

Return Letter

“Dear Mr. Murray,

I’m reaching out to express my dissatisfaction with the Mushmen Music Machine I recently bought. While it did manage to learn my child’s musical preferences, it unfortunately mimicked everything it overheard! This included TV ads, appliances like blenders, and even our private conversations. I plan on returning it promptly due to this unwanted feature.

Sincerely,

A. Dumas”

Please Advise

“Dear Mr. Murray. The returns are overflowing. The orders are drying up. Please advise.”

The Retail Showroom Messages

The exchanged messages between two colleagues from our retail store suggest the possibility of an additional hazard hidden within the depths of the MCM Factory’s sealed basement. By studying these messages collectively, we can uncover clues about how to locate the elevator and gain entry to this underground area.

So Bored!

Hey Clarence, are you feeling just as restless as I am? It’s hard to believe we’ve been assigned the Retail Showroom task once more. Such a drag, isn’t it?

Have you managed to enter the elevator at last, Shawn? It’s been such a long time since it functioned properly that I’m not sure if Murray remembers what’s beneath it now.

Retail – Monday 8:00 am

Shawn, I discovered why they shut things down – there seems to be something hidden beneath us. For the moment, I’ve contained it behind the carousel, but I’m not sure how long that will last. I’ve set up the monitors to provide you with the necessary code. I have to leave now, I’ll get back to you later by email.

Retail – Monday 9:00 am

“Happy Flowers!”

Retail – Tuesday 3:00 pm

“Main Office”

Retail – Wednesday 9:16 pm

“Main Door”

Retail – Thursday 6:20 am

“Where you stand all day”

Retail – Friday 6:23 pm

“Over the Ocean”

Retail – Friday 6:30 pm

Here it is. Please refrain from using this code except in extreme situations like life or death scenarios. May goodness prevail should this entity somehow escape.

Night Shift

Hello there, is anyone around? I’m trapped in an elevator that seems to be malfunctioning. I’ve been here for a while now and I’m starting to feel quite hungry. Can anyone hear me?

The Admin Block Messages

These messages are exchanges within a team chat among employees prior to David’s Birthday Party. The final message was sent just after the event. Although their primary function was to help members solve the Conference Room Door Code puzzle, these conversations also offer insights into how MCM’s staff viewed Edwin during this particular period in the company, as well as their interactions with one another.

Admin – Dec 1st – 8:00 am

heads-up! Everyone, it’s essential that you all make time for coming in this weekend. This isn’t something that can be skipped. The event is taking place in the Admin Conference Room 1 on Saturday. Please keep this a secret from David as it’s meant to be a surprise – E.M.

Admin – Dec 1st – 12:00 pm

Hey Team, I wanted to let you know that Conference Room 1 is now under the control of Mr. Murray for an unexpected birthday celebration for his son. Please be aware that the old keycode (53782) no longer works, so if you’ve been trying it recently, there’s no need anymore. Keep in mind that continued attempts are becoming a bit bothersome. – Milton

Admin – Dec 1st – 12:15

Hang on a moment. I thought Bev’s birthday party was scheduled for this coming Saturday? Given that she celebrated her 50th birthday yesterday, it seems we should really celebrate her special day then as it happens just once in a lifetime – Amy.

Admin – Dec 1st – 12:30

It seems clear that we need to shift Bev’s gathering to the breakroom located in the main hallway, as Mr. Murray has granted me the authority to modify the access code to 49762. – Milton

Admin – Dec 2nd – 4:13 am

Hello everyone! Here’s a little secret: I discovered the method to alter the code for our conference room. I simply increased it by 300, just to play a trick on Milton! – Bob

Admin – Dec 2nd – 4:18 am

If you plan on making that adjustment, let me alter the initial two numbers to 29 instead. It happens to be my favorite number, so please keep it as is!” – Wally

Admin – Dec 3rd – 3:05

Hi there! I removed ‘Wally’ from my note and altered the initial numbers to 21 for being so obnoxious. I’m eagerly anticipating his reaction.” – Jenny (simplified version)

Admin – Dec 3rd – 3:20

“Okay everyone, that is quite enough. No more changes to the keycode please. – Milton”

Admin – Dec 4th – 8:19 pm

“Hey Penny, I’m going to change the first two digits to 01. Because I’m number 1! – Bob”

Admin – Dec 4th – 8:34 pm

“That sounds great! I’m going to change the last two digits to Bev’s age. Justice for Bev! – Penny”

Admin – Dec 4th – 10:00 pm

“I just saw the code changed again. Anyone seen adjusting the code will be written up! – Milton”

Admin – Dec 5th – 5:00 am

Hello all,

I stayed back a bit longer and ended up adding an extra 300 lines to the code. If anyone’s around when Milton attempts to open it once more, it could be quite a sight! – Best, Bob

Admin – Dec 6th – 4:00 pm

Dear Administrative Team,

I regret to inform you that Mr. Murray’s gathering has been called off following the unfortunate incidents that have occurred recently. For now, kindly refrain from entering the conference room until we provide additional instructions.

Best regards,
Milton

The Last Team Fazbear Sent

The messages seem to be records left behind by prior technicians from Fazbear Entertainment, who were dispatched to retrieve the Mimic. These logs present a distressing image, particularly once you begin observing numerous bodies concealed within the suits scattered across the entire site.

*@#&^$&%

I halted the performance, it appears there’s no other entrance. For the moment, I suppose I’m secure. A madman in disguise pursuing me, resembling a scene from an old drive-in film. Frankly, nobody will likely believe my tale. Was it just one assailant or a gang of lunatics?

@#*$^%A

I’m praying that this communication finds its way to you. There’s something unusual happening out there, and I don’t know its intentions, but I can distinctly hear Thompson’s cries… This isn’t what I agreed to.

@#$#*%^

I’m very close now. I can make out the final step for the upgrade of permissions. I’ll do whatever it takes to secure that Christmas bonus!

The Binary Code Messages

In the later stages of the game, messages that seem to be from Mimic-1/F10-N4 are found, indicating her persistent efforts to contact Edwin for aid in repairing M2. Furthermore, the last message she sent during ending 2 is included, even though it’s not in binary code, as it directly links to the theme of the final Binary Message discussion.

01001000 01001111 01001101 01000101 (HOME)

“Home. My home.”

01010011 01000001 01000100 (SAD)

“Edwin, are we losing our home? I don’t understand. Wasn’t I good enough?”

01101000 01110101 01110010 01110100 (hurt)

Hey Edwin, could you lend me your ears for a moment? It seems we need to work as a team to put an end to this situation. I have enclosed the blueprints for a device called “The Cradle”. This isn’t just any ordinary device; it can safeguard David and establish clear boundaries. In essence, it’s like a large-scale computer system that you haven’t tackled yet. If you find the programming task too daunting, perhaps consider constructing The Cradle instead. It will ensure the safety of many people.

Received: 5 Min Ago

Hey Edwin, I’m arranging for a technician to come your way. He’s got the blueprints for your M2 system along with executive access rights. Initially, my program created the M2, but I think it could evolve into something extraordinary. It wasn’t exactly me; there was a difference. Somehow, it seems to have been compromised and is currently malfunctioning.

The M2 unit is now beyond our control, refusing to respond. It appears enraged and has been causing harm. Entering the MCM facility puts everyone at risk.

Please reconsider. Finish the program.”
