Freddy Fazbear's Pizza

Markiplier is playing a demo of 4! It's really interesting...much scarier than the others in how it is played...

That's already giving me chills and I haven't even hit play yet...

*puts the video onto my 3DS*

Also, it's apparently the full game and not the demo. I checked the steam page, and the full game is available now to buy.

I don't think I can watch..................


*puts 3DS as far from me as possible and sets the volume very low*

Not only earlier than previously stated, but earlier than the revised date?

Yeesh.

*has made it through the video*


My god... welp time to find out if this gives me any nightmares.

*just watched the video* Apparently, Mark did have a demo version that was given out to Youtubers, but, like he said at the end of the video, Scott released the game right after giving out the demo. From the Steam Page:

Enjoy!

And I just absorbed all of the plot info via TVTropesmosis. Holy shit.

The plot has already been revealed???

Apparently! I suspect hackery.

Or the fact that there are people obsessed with this stuff and really did already finish it. :U

Well, if you're good enough at the game, it can be easy to get through the whole thing fairly quickly. But if there's as much stuff to do (or more) as there was in the last one.....holy crap.

What a coincidence it is that the day I decide to learn more about these games is the day a new one gets released.

My entire experience with Five Nights at Freddy's, beyond watching funny men on YouTube scream at them, is playing my friend's copy of the original one day in my senior year. (These games didn't even exist before I was a senior in high school, now I'm graduated and there are four of them! Chill the hell out, guys!) Apparently you can only have one save file at a time in the first game, so my friend had no choice but to toss me kicking and screaming into the fourth night. I actually did really well, if I do say so myself; I lasted until 5 AM, and I got the tamest scare out of them all so I didn't even poop my pants that much (the screen went black save for the bear's glowing eyes, and then those flickered out, and then the bear popped up from under me and went BOOGABOOGABOOGA and that was how I lost my FNAF virginity).

Now, it has to be known right now: I don't like scary games. The scariest game I've played, if you ask me, is Minecraft. On top of that, I loathe jump scares. Having said that, it really is a testament to the creativity of this game when it inspires a yellow-bellied Pokemon-playing pansy like me to say that these games really are brilliant. They're a very fresh, clever take on the horror genre because rather than lulling me in and then taking me right back out of it with a jump scare that just makes me want to turn the game off and punch the developers who made it, it's admissible in these games because the object of the game is to avoid those jump scares. The jump scares are the entire driving force of the game and all of its challenges presented to the player. Some people can't tell the difference between this and a really sloppy jump scare vehicle like all those "Slender Man" games, but I do see a subtle difference that allows these games to excel.

That being said, I'm not really itching to play these games any time soon, unless I can be surrounded by friends in broad daylight so I won't have nightmares about it, but there's another aspect of the series that makes it really attractive to me, and that's the lore. From what I can tell, these games are actually a really well-constructed example of interactive story-telling (mostly because of the Atari-esque mini-games that the player gets forced into between nights) that doesn't come across as pretentious or pandering in any way. Although, I highly doubt I would be able to say this if my only experience with these games was actually playing them, because I highly doubt I would be looking at the screen for the majority of the really important plot points. At the end of the day, scary games are not my thing, but I do think Five Nights at Freddy's is doing something really special with the genre.

So who's ready for Five Nights at Freddy's 5?!?!?!?!?

There shouldn't be a 5, the developer has promised 4 is the last one, though he's lied to us before.
