Honestly this is best thing they could’ve made with the franchise. I kinda like that vibe of as a kid, being trapped in something large like a mall with evil robots. Just some fantasy.
Idk certain endings are fine. Afton makes this story live and devs can’t go anywhere without it’s canon.
I wish they turn back with reboot set in 70s / 80s with more detailed, deep and better horror narrative, lore and gameplay.
Many years ago I had some WALL-E themed daydream where I had to stay perfectly still every now and then or else the little robots from that movie would detect me and come after me.
Idk at that point FNaF made made huge and ridiculous metamorphosis and turned into some sci-fi cyber- / bio- punk shit with childs being trapped by Afton to make a fully functional “scary” new fucking liveform robots with AI or robotized capsules for dead human brain and soul (wtf) with mind & senses, heart, what else… ass… wait, that was unnecessary but some artists will look into it. I can’t even say these are 70’s/80’s/90’s diner place animatronics with curse, these are just true fictional evil robots. And I can’t even say what these books are in terms of originality/plot/smth else because I don’t get the concept. So what do you expect?
