I havent played it yet and I dont know if I will but...

FNAF Secret of The Mimic... looks kinda good so far (spoilers!!!!!)


to steal someone's comment, these are my thoughts on the artstyle:

I have heard some textures are a bit choppy/cut off in places with text, and a few environments could've been better, especially the driving segment.

but at the same time... I prefer this, it is much better than having millions of tree models everywhere that waste your pc's fps. thats something security breach would've done.

although they definately could've tried to hide this by placing large rocks around the place.

anyways other than that, this style feels pretty good to look at. its not worth screaming about but it doesnt need to be in my opinion, its good, its nice to look and thats all it really needs to be.

Now, this is something I'm already going to see people complaining about, and it's completely okay, since people are allowed to have their opinions, but...

"They look nothing like fnaf characters!"

You know what? yes, while these characters definitely don't resemble the classic FNAF designs we prefer, I think constantly looking back at the older FNAF era, while amazing without question, can sometimes be limiting. The thing is, these designs actually look completely fine and fit perfectly within the game itself. They weren't made for a game like FNAF 1, and you're never going to see them there as a result obviously. They were made specifically for this game's unique environments, and when you see them in action, they're pretty cool. Jackie in particular is pretty cool looking and easily the creepiest so far. Probably my favorite so far until the game introduces some other characters we dont know about yet.

I will not comment on the gameplay as I have not played it yet, if I ever get my hands on the game and play it for abit, then expect me to make a second part of this where I talk about it.


So far this is looking good though, overall obviosuly better than security breach, ever since that game the quality of the games has increased and im pretty proud of steelwool.

Security breach: Bad start

Ruin DLC: Redemption

Help wanted 2: really good

Secret of the mimic: possibly just as good if not better!

I think its really importent to give this game support to let Steelwool know "Hey, this is pretty cool. this is a direciton you can take fnaf in" or something like that.

Next up

Remember y'all, the game is coming out this Friday! As promised, I have added new screenshots to the gamepage, which finally meant I could get rid of those super outdated ones from when the game first started development.

I know no one asked but yes, Smiley's redesign was literally based on this gif lol

Patch ver 0.1.1 (read article)

#spawnday 2 years wow

With Yoda's AI finished, I'm finally free from the cycle of procrastination I've been stuck in since I first announced this project.

Canceled project

I can't believe we have the actual scrapped models from 2016 now, this is so sigma.

This gif isn't mine btw, it was made by @Disamol lol.

Okay so ya'll may or may not be getting the game on friday, if not sooner.

Yeah it just kinda hit me out of nowhere how little there is left to do before its ready lol.

will do a proper post about it soon as well as update the gamepage

Guess who just bought the Penumbra Series!

The Penumbra series is pretty cheap, so waiting for it to get a discount felt a bit silly. I'll be playing this while I wait for The Bunker to go on sale!
