Five Nights at Freddy's a scary game? Yeah right!

Post by Yami »

Okay I've seen fan arts and youtube videos about this so-called point and click horror game. Basically you are a night watchmen at this pizza place where the automatic characters play fun music for the kids during the day. But at night they run around loose, which would not be a bad thing but these robotic animals think you are out of costumes and will try to stuff your body into a bloody massive pulp as they put you in a costume full of gears and wires. More info here http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014- ... s-to-steam

To me I don't think they are so scary, all you do is just point and click around cameras trying to keep an eye on these dudes and when they get too close to your door you have the security doors to slam down on them to keep them at bay. The only scary part is when one of them gets to you and well game-over. Should be simple but it turns out the boss is a cheapskate and you have limited power supply to last until 6am. Each night the game play gets more and more harder and you have to end up using more power frequently.

To me this is just a stupid click-and-point game I mean it's not like Resident Evil or Silent Hills game. At least in those games you get guns to defend yourself with. But this is just my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

The game seems to play on fears of animatronics, it helps the animatronics themselves look pretty creepy. I haven't seen much of it but it seems pretty legit for a horror game, better than a lot of the stuff horror has been getting.

it all has to do with atmosphere dude and tension. basically you place yourself into the situation. you are a security guard, either a little dumb or down on your luck, and you know that the seemingly harmless animatrons come to life during your work hours. worse yet, they are out to kill you, and if they catch you, you are finished. and if you run out of power, you are through. you have to keep tabs on the animatrons, always keep on your toes, or they will catch you and you will die in the most horrible way.

basically as i said it is about atmosphere.
