I guess it's a nice game; afterall I can't complain too much considering it's price. However saying it's "rough around the edges" would be an underestimation. I really like the concept and I can see that there was a lot of work put into it. It has some cool mechanics and a pretty decent and interesting story. However, the "main" gameplay (so said surviving the nights) is really plain. It's really just the same thing over and over with barely any difficulty changes and it just gets boring at some point. Then, at the 8th night (which should be the last, I think) the difficulty shifts and it's sweatingly hard to win. The only enjoyable parts of the game are the intersections with the story-telling, but I don't think I would pay even this small price for just that. I also had some trouble when I first started playing it. When the second night came, the UI changed to something different (maybe a demo or beta version) and it was completely broken. I had to re-install the game for it to switch back to normal. And for some reason, the achievements aren't working either, and I'm not the only one appearently with this problem. My final view on this is that the game looks like it has potential, but it really would need some fixing around and some rework or features added, because for now it's just unpleasant to play. That's why I leave a good review, in the hope that even after 2 years of it being released, it can maybe improve in time. However, I'm getting my money back to spend it on a coffee, this game might earn them back when it'll be worthy enough.

good game, good jumpscares

Screechy random jump scares are not suspenseful. You can literally include a type of music that all horror movies/narrations use (DMC proof too) that instills the same anxiety without having screen jump scares.

This game was good, I did wish that I had been able to spend more time in the FNAF mode as that was very stressful rather than the weird stand in a corner and wait a minute lol. You'll know what I mean if you try this game. The story is disturbing and disgusting and sad, especially if you have children. I thought this game was a solid 8/10. The art style is also incredible. I think it's worth a try, especially since it's a short game and dev. is only charging a dollar at time of writing.

Was a fine enough FNAF clone until I got to the 8th and possibly final night. At this point the difficulty spikes beyond a ridiculous degree to the point where it's unwinnable. It seems like the game starts disrespecting it's own rules to the point where success here seems more like luck, especially given the unpredictable nature of the enemies. Half my playtime was likely attempting that final level, and I've had enough. Not recommended.
