The Return to Freddy's 3: Legendary Edition

Despite all of its jank, the TRTF series, in my opinion, had great potential, only hampered by Tyler being uhh... not all that competent when it came to making a functioning game. The third entry in particular is probably my favorite in the series, real unpopular opinion I know, and I believed that it could actually be a great game that would hold up even now if it wasn't complete and utter jank.

At first this was meant to be a simple recode meant to fix only the core issues, but over time I kept adding on to it, as I'm not the type of person that would be satisfied with *just* a basic recode, when I could go at least a bit more beyond that.

So with the fluff out of the way, what does this add/change?

• A complete from-the-ground-up recode of the game in widescreen, as the game, in my opinion, would work fairly well in that ratio with its absolute fucking chonker of an office and cameras that don't take up the whole screen

• Rebalance of the enemies, along with a new Lights Shutoff mechanic, the idea for which came from the scrapped power out office sprites, and some quality of life improvements, like multiple characters being able to show up in the camera at once

• Night 6 and Night 8 now stand out just a bit more

• A fully implemented custom night with challenges and cheats

• A new secret ending for beating Night 8

• A small detail, you now collect plushies within minigames themselves

• A new post-night minigame for Night 4

• Nightmare Mode, introducing new enemies and having you use completely different mechanics from the usual gameplay

• Dread Mode - a more fleshed out spin on the Protect Your Son minigame, having you face off against waves of Ghoul Animatronics. Contains 6 characters, all with different playstyles, and an unlockable secret final boss

• The FNaF cast is still in the game!
