So, everyone knows the story, 2014, a king named Scott Cawthon released a game named Five Nights at Freddy's that destroyed everything on it's way. But today, the serie have been going but it lost the old aura, secret of the mimic is the most recent game but even if it's scary, it's maybe better than security breach but the game isn't that good, the lore is nice but the chases are lame, the antagonists are forgettable, only dollie's part is nice, and why doesn't fnaf feel the same as before? Maybe because people forgot what made this game so special, and im going to tell what made tis game so special.
1.the gameplay, unlike other games, in fnaf, you can't attack danger, you can't avoid or run away from it, you can only push the danger away and you are forced to face it.
2.the new kind of horror, the game wasn't following any trend of horror, no jumpscare or psychological horror, it's a new kind, named mascot horror by people, a kinf inspired by movies like friday 13th with reconizable and popular monsters instead of zombies or the imagination of the player, clear mascots that scare people and that represent the face of the franchise, even if today, there is shitty games on roblox or other where devs thinks that just a scary monster works, fnaf was the first and was already well made, animatronics are uncanny and represent well that weird feeling of the uncanny valley.
3.Mechanics, the mechanics of the battery, making using doors or cameras stressing, especially when we are under 10%, and when there's no power, the famous scene of freddy, in the office, his eyes glowing while his music box play in the darkness, even if today it's a meme, if you see it for the first time, it's a master piece of horror. And even each mascots represent a specific fear to make players uneasy, bonnie's attack are predictable but not avoidable, he's menacing, chica make noises and act weird, she's creepy, foxy appear at all sudden and run around like a maniac, he's unpredictable, and freddy hide in the shadow, we often only see his glowing eyes thought the darkness, he represent the fear of the unknown.
4.The ambience, the game is not only cameras and robots + battery, it also has the atmosphere. Every shot in the game doesn' t feel right, the eerie music and easter eggs, everything is weird, not on animatronics, just the empty rooms, half in darkness, with the blue-ish lights, it's weird, eerie, and make the player uneasy. and also that the game is not very polished make it better in the weirdness. Tell my your opinion in comment and also, i wish someone could make a remake of fnaf 1 with all these factors. Just you can tell your opinion or ask questions in comments, im interested in responding and in reading most of your comments.
