Happy Frickbear Friday! Be careful when checking the cameras - there may be Phantoms afoot!

Phantom BB, Freddy, Chica, Foxy, Mangle and Marionette all return as a single character - The Phantoms!

These guys lurk on random cameras, jumpscaring you if stared at for too long, as you would probably expect. Jumpscares from them are also nonlethal - as you would also probably expect - they just stun you temporarily and raise the office temperature! While not the worst on their own, they can very easily screw you over if paired with the right animatronics.

While the most effective way to avoid a Phantom jumpscare is to simply not spend too long on any camera, there is an alternative way to deal with them new to this game! Using the flashlight on any of the Phantoms will make them fade away. This is only temporary though, so you'll want to use it sparingly!

Any Phantom can appear on any camera, although the higher their AI level, the more that will appear at once. (Their AI level will also determine how long you can look at them before they jumpscare you.)

( ADDITIONAL NOTE: In Frickbear's 2, each phantom had a different negative effect when jumpscaring you. (for example, Phantom BB would disable the flashlight temporarily, Phantom Foxy would disable the mask, etc etc.) While they all do the same thing here, just raising the office temperature, this MIGHT wind up reverting them to how they worked in 2 for the final game depending on how it plays. If you have any preference for one or the other, be sure to let me know! I'm interested to hear peoples' thoughts :D )
