Clarifying how The Escape to Freddy's is going to play


I want to take the time to clarify some of the gameplay features of TETF. For those who haven't seen the gameplay preview posted previously, I'd highly recommend watching it, although it isn't a necessity.

Here's the link for those who need it - About that preview I mentioned.... As always some things here are s... - The Escape To Freddy's by Returning Paradox Team (gamejolt.com)

So, about the gameplay.

As you might've seen, this game has no cameras, and no doors. The player is stuck inside of the Freddy costume on stage, and due to this, has very few ways of defending themselves.

Firstly, the player has the ability to turn their neck between 3 positions, being left, right, and center. In any other game, that'd be an insane thing to mention. Here though, you'll find that where you chose to face at any given time may either save your life, or end it entirely.

Secondly, the player is able to lift up their mask, gradually filling up their oxygen meter at the expense of exposing yourself to things you'd rather keep hidden from. You wouldn't want to run out of air now, would you? Keep in mind, you gain oxygen faster the longer you have it off, so occasionally taking short breaths isn't going to help you out much.

Finally, the suit itself is equiped with a light that can be used semi-frequently. While the cooldown is rather short, it's not instant, so you need to be extremely careful with how you go about using it.

If any of these mechanics sound simple, it's because they are. It's the animatronic behavior that adds the complexity in.

As some of you may have guessed, this game takes a large amount of inspiration from Bondee's Barnyard. Fans of that game who also enjoy a good challenge should consider giving this one a shot as well, as it pushes simular skils to the limits.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to refer to this project's pinned post! I'll answer what I can, since I'm extremely excited to release this game to you all!

Next up

Stay tunes for later tonight, when I make a post deep-diving everything we found in the recently found Nightmares of Freddy's

Until then, here's a cool pic of what the title screen looks like without the static :)

Every couple of weeks I check up on the hoax wiki, and I now feel the need to shout out Peridot Freddy.

He's kind of just a slightly worse Emerald Freddy, but Emerald Freddy's awsome, so I like him

Shout out to Spring Mangle and Spring BB. 0 clue why they only appeared in One Nights At Springtrap’s 1 and then never again, but I view this as a wrong that needs to be righted.

Like, and least give them nightmare versions, sheesh.

Apparently it's more commonly known than I thought, but I need everyone to know that Five Nights at Fredbear's Family Diner has this thing as an Easter Egg.

0 clue what he's called, but I need him represented in more fangames right freaking now.

Here's some updated renders for 2.0; we're redoing it for all the characters to help them fit in with the lighting like bonnie and chica do. And also to make GB more ghoulish

Making the game compatible with shenanigans. here's this unused teaser we made for puppeteer before we decided to keep all the new dudes hidden

In the 2.0 update, we plan to give the game more animation. This includes having a vent pop down whenever sugar is about to attack on that side, as well as endo 03's eye flashing her countdown. We're hoping this will make the game feel more alive

Here's a guide to what each of the ETF characters are based off of.

Refurbished the page, and that has some news alongside it.

Sorry for the influx of hadmanposting. It will happen again. Anyway, I feel like onast3 is retroactively more fascinating with the fact in mind that it released TWO DAYS after fnaf 4.

Nightmare fredbear’s existence especially compels me for this reason
