Candy Cadet is "voiced" by the IVONA text-to-speech program, using the "Brian" voice.
Candy Cadet's design is faintly similar to Class B-9-M-3 General Utility Non-Theorizing Environmental Control Robot (or simply Robot), a character from the science fiction television series Lost in Space that aired between 1965 and 1968.
The overall shape of Candy Cadet's head also bears an uncanny resemblance to Alpha 5, a robotic character in the popular 1990's television show The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers.
In Ruin, Candy Cadet's voice is most likely provided by a different text-to-speech program or a new voice actor. It is currently unknown as the voice is not listed in the credits.
The S.T.A.F.F bots also use text-to-speech and were referred to as "themselves" in the Security Breach credits and "still themselves" in the Ruin credits. Despite this, Candy Cadet wasn't in the credits at all.
Candy Cadet has two coin slots, each requiring quarters (25 cents). Although, the player is not able to insert the coins to Candy Cadet for story-telling upon interacting.
Additionally, every time the player interacts with Candy Cadet, they only use up one coin.
This could possibly be a real-life parallel, where many coin-operated amusement toys have two slots in case one gets clogged or has a coin-reading error.

Candy Cadet was originally intended to be part of the roster as one of the customizable characters along with Adventure Endo-01 from FNaF World, but was scrapped and replaced with Withered Chica and Withered Bonnie.
Scott stated that Candy Cadet and Adventure Endo-01 will still appear in the game but as background objects instead.
However, oddly in the final version of the game, only Candy Cadet appeared and Adventure Endo-01 was completely absent.
Oddly, Candy Cadet was called "CadetGhost" in the game's sound file folder.
Unlike the other characters who appear as merely environment objects in the game, Candy Cadet briefly activates.
Errors[]
Due to simply being an overlay, Candy Cadet does not move with the Office when the player is jumpscared. This could be an animation error.
Within the Office, a clipping error shows that one of Candy Cadet's claws will clip through his wheel when moving on occasions.
His story about the mother and her son is meant to be foreshadowing towards The Mimic, due to the monster in the story learning to mimic the mother's lullaby to trick the boy, similarly to the Mimic mimicking Gregory to trick Cassie.
It is unknown what Candy Cadet's stories could mean or represent.
One story is about a family dying because they didn't purchase a four for one deal at an unnamed pizzeria (possibly a Fazbear location) and is fairly decided is irrelevant to the lore.
The other story is about a young woman that was tricked by a young boy and eaten by a witch. This could represent Vanessa or be foreshadowing Cassidy's fate.
