Cassie and Her Ties to Roxy and the Mega Pizzaplex
Once players start playing theRUINexpansion, they’ll be immediately treated to two important facts about Cassie. Her dad is a technician for Freddy Fazbear’s Mega Pizzaplex, and her favorite animatronic character isRoxxane “Roxy” Wolfaccording to the description of her Roxy-Talkie.

How Fans See the Pain of Five Nights at Freddy’s First Hand
While Gregory’s disappearance is a result ofSecurity Breach’s Princess Quest ending, he’s an exception to the rule withFNAFasFive Nights at Freddy’score storyrevolves around the child murders that have plagued the popular franchise chain for decades. Not only doesRUINemphasize that these incidents take their toll through Cassie’s visualized trauma over losing her friend Gregory, but also in what Cassie has to do in the game.
Cassie screams when she first encounters Roxy in the game, who mistakes her for what’s likely Vanny due to the mask Cassie wears to disable Security Nodes and collectFive Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach RUIN’s AR collectibles. This leads Roxy to freeze up in error, as she realizes just who she’s gone after. Unlike Gregory, Cassie has a guest profile, and Roxy later reveals why. Cassie celebrated her birthday party at the Mega Pizzaplex one year, and Roxy and Gregory were the only two people who celebrated with her as none of her other friends showed up.
This only gets fully revealed when players need to make what might be thetoughest choice in all ofSecurity Breach’sRUINexpansionas Roxy is the last Security Node keeping “Gregory” trapped. She deactivates her favorite animatronic after Roxy recognizes her and consoles her, and this upsets Cassie so much that she cries throughout the rest of the game afterward.
Players watch all ofRUIN’s storyline through the eyes of a kid who’s dragged into something she was likely never aware of, and all she gets for hurting the things she loves is three endings that see her lost or even dead. It adds weight to the situation surrounding the series as Cassie isn’t the first to go through this, and she won’t be the last.
Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach RUINis available for PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
