So yesterday, JRs released! Today I finished the main story of the game, nights 1-6, and here's my honest review of it! NOTE: The last section will contain spoilers!

GAMEPLAY

So, the gameplay! For the main nights... Personally, it's one of the best I've seen in a FNaF fangame. It's cool, creative, and flows REALLY well! Even if it takes a while to get used to, when you understand how it works the game because super fun. I'd honestly see myself coming back to the custom night regularly to beat the challenges (as i haven't beat most of them yet).

Paulbear's sections are really cool too! Although they don't really have a purpose, they are still really cool too.

My only major gripe is that the gameplay is not explained in the slightest. Some people may prefer this, but personally I would've liked there to be a proper tutorial, perhaps with Paulbear's sections.

GRAPHICS

Personally, my favourite part of the game! Everything just looks so realistic and incredible. I genuinely have nothing bad to say about the graphics, it's all so good. Paulbear's 3D sections have a really cool PS1 style too! I'm not going to spend long on this section as there isn't really much to say apart from the fact it's really good. The animatronics look incredible, the environments, and even small props were so detailed and well modeled!

SOUNDTRACK

One of the best parts of this game, such good music! Especially the Night 6 track! I definitely will be listening to the OST in my spare time!

STORY

Something I didn't expect! Going into this game, I didn't expect there to be so much story, but I was pleasantly surprised! The VHS tapes at the end of the nights were really cool and got me speculating about the Mangle, and Paulbear is such a cool character! The way the main ghost ties into both the story and gameplay is incredibly creative too! I'll talk more about the finale in the next section!

NIGHT 6 (SPOILERS AHEAD)

I liked this part! However, there were a lot of things wrong with the finale...

First off, the gameplay of it. I liked how the first part of the night was like FNaF 2! It tied into the lore, which was cool. However, I do wish that were was some more original mechanics in it. I get that the second half of the night was supposed to be the original part, but it wasn't the best thing replaying FNaF 2 for the 6000th time.

The second part however, was way better! I loved the cutscene where it built up suspension. It was also really intense, where you had to speed click through the cameras to find the ghost, while mangle was coming to your office. I do think mangle should've been explained better, as when it first came through the vent, I had NO idea how to deal with it, and i had to redo the entire first part again. I liked how the office changed and became more eerie as you approached the end of the night too! I really liked this, but the first part of night 6 was easily the worst part of the game, at least gameplay wise. Second part was one of the best though!

Graphically wise, it's INSANELY well done, even though you didn't get to look at the rooms much due to the music box mechanic. All the rooms felt abandoned, and the withered animatronics look super good, and were quite original yet reminiscent of FNaF 2's designs. The mangle's design and model is incredible, I really like how you can see the owl plushie pop out of the vent when the mangle comes to your office!

And story wise, it is very cool! I loved the idea of going underground and having a seperate location with the final boss! The ending cutscene, and the reveal that Paulbear had multiple people go and investigate JRs, were really cool!

OVERALL

This game overall is one of my favourite FNAF fangames of all time. It's original, fun, and really well made! Not only were the graphics good, but the gameplay was addicting and fun! I would say the only okay/meh part of the game was the first part of night 6, but apart from that it was incredible! Congrats on the JR's team for getting this game released after 2 years, the game is awesome!

FINAL RATING: 8.5/10
