Deadass if the game didn't have the tapes or didn't crash sometimes then this would be one of the best fan games to have come out and even then I still think it's solid. The only thing that makes or breaks this game is when talking about Garvey. This one of those things rather or not you care about the story. I for one don't think it's a deal breaker and only really focus on the gameplay but the story isn't executed the best it could've and that is a fact. The funny part is that without the tapes the rape inclusion would've been fine because both the Cardboard Theatre (though could've done better of hinting it but still) and the newsletter are more then fine ways of including this but Blackout still chose to have the fucking tapes . It just doesn't help Garvey or the game as it feels like its rubbing the fact that this subject is in the game when it doesn't need to do that and has 3 other ways of telling the player and comes across as pretentious and disrespectful.
Now Garvey himself, again the story doesn't make him better and hurts him as I said before, but I still fucking LOVE Garvey for the most part. The design and the way he looks is deranged with him climbing the walls and how TALL he is like my god. The VA also did a great job with him on nights 10 and 11 (expect again, the tapes... sigh) and makes him look desperate to get out of the hell hole he's placed in. His plan of taking over John's body to continue with his "legacy" is nothing short of evil, to use your own brother's body and face just to kill more people is vile and shows just how much humanity he has. The best part is that at the near the end of night 11 you can hear him bitching and pleading that it's not his time yet and is finished as he gets dragged to HELL. Good riddance.
If you hate Garvey then (good lmao) I understand and he isn't one of the best villains ever but I have a taste in villains that you just hate like Valentino from Hazbin hotel (don't like the show, only him) and Micah Bell from Red dead redemption 2. So again please take my opinion as that, an OPINION and not someone who is 100% right and I would prefer not to fight anyone about it. I don't mind discussing about this topic but I'm not going to be insulted about liking a character that doesn't exist lmao.
I wanna talk about the Havocs and the rest rq as they are descent with their looks too.
Freddy, Foxy, Chica and Molten Evil are my least favorite in the game but are still good for what they are.
B.O.A, Puppet and Soul cage are so cool and the ideas for both are super unique.
Golden Call and AMIREAL are fantastic and are some of the best fan made animatronics next to post shift 2 and Final Nights 4.
The main gameplay is also really smooth and the mechanics are fun to play around like AMIREAL or B.O.A as everything fits with everyone and is a pretty easy game (until nights 9, 10 and 11). However... the gameplay has three problems for me.
One is FUCKING GOLDEN CALL AND FOXY. Having a mechanic where you type the highest word or number while having to remember what AMIREAL said is a nightmare and that's not counting the office animatronics you need to fend off and your gonna rip all your heir out.
The sconed is the crashing/bugs, this isn't that big as most of the crashes come from going to full screen and also the game is 7 years old so it's bound to have those.
And lastly when Garvey is monologuing he can be louder then his sound cues in the office and can lead to unfair deaths at times, other then that it's a good boss fight.
Another thing that this game has going for it is it's side content;
you have night 11 (the hardest thing to do in the game, prepare yourself)
Freddy in space (kinda fun in concept but not really good, the end of it is cool though)
the tapes (you need to get all of them in each night, so get a guide or remember where you missed one because the game won't tell you. You can listen to all of them if you want to, you'll need to hear number 10 though)
Cardboard Theatre (also cool in concept but bad in exaction),
the AMIREAL minigame (please use an auto spammer for this, you'll thank me if you do)
and lastly night 12 (the end of the game and is pretty good tho easy).
That's at least 6 things to do in this game so your gonna be busy and that's a good thing.
I don't think I need to keep going, this is one of my favorite fan games of all time and will always be my go to game. If you don't like the game that's fine and I won't disagree with you, but if you haven't played the game yourself then I would encourage you to play the game so you have your own accord and thoughts about it.

That's it, I hope you have nice days and I'll see you latter :)
