Five Nights at Freddy's. The indie horror game where animatronics from a pizzaria try to murder you - Games

What I think makes this game so effective is that it's essentially a simplified Papers, Please that takes place in first-person mode, mostly in the dark, and instead of keeping track of document rules and processing them as fast as possible, you're keeping track of killer animatronics and the only info you have is sound cues, the cameras (which you can only look at one at a time), and metaknowledge of the AI routines. You can't move, you can only see one side of the hallway at once, and you can see nothing of your surroundings if you have a camera up. limited information = lack of control = fear It's a delicate formula to get right, but it works like fucking magic if you can tap into that dark place of the human psyche. I don't know if anyone noticed, but in Markiplier's video several pages back (the one used to prove the Yellow Freddy poster/room teleportation IT'S ME scenario), there is a second Freddy/black-eyes Bonnie/IT'S ME flash-frame scare in the 17th minute, as soon as he clicks the camera over to Pirate's Cove and the curtain is parted with a familiar silhouette leering through the darkness. This occurs in the camera interface. [sp]Freddy's face appears for a frame as the security camera panel is almost completely flattened out of the way of the view of the desk when Markiplier is going back to viewing the room.[/sp]

the name pirate's cove reminds me of that creepy old candle cove story [editline]16th August 2014[/editline] [img]https://8chan.co/candlecove/src/1404171222270.png[/img] like shit this looks like it could be in the game

[QUOTE=Xonax;45708342]Does this game require audio? Or can I turn the audio off and listen to other stuff, because the only way I see myself playing this game is doing that, I can't make it past the phone call at Night 1.[/QUOTE] Turning off the audio to brace yourself against screams isn't worth the downsides involved. You'll have a much, much, much harder time keeping track of them all - making you more prone to getting spooked in the first place.

[QUOTE=J!NX;45708200]most of this game feels great but I'm going to be honest, the fact that it bases itself entirely on cheap jumpscares is lame as fuck Most horror games that uses them, at least, if its like, outlast, lets say, I've found to be really terrible games. At the same time I feel it builds tension before the jumpscare, so, I guess it's much more properly done in this game, it suits it better than other games. Jumpscares are the easiest to ignore in games though.[/QUOTE] There needs to be a payoff for all the tension and a jumpscare is the only real solution I can see.

I'm trying to think of what would be cool to mod in this game but all I can think of is silly shit like replacing Foxy with the pirate from that Lazytown song, making him shout "YAR HAR FIDDLE DEE DEE" as he runs to the security room and when he gets in and confronts the player proclaim "YOU ARE A PIRATE!" Trying to think of something better.

This bigbugz guy is doing amazing. It's like watching a pro Tetris player.

I think if this game had you roaming around trying to escape them it would be almost as creepy

Bonnie = Sundowner, He pops out saying "I'M FUCKIN INVINCIBLEEEEEE" And finally, Frederick von Fazbear as Senator Armstrong, his normal scream replaced by "I'LL TEAR YOU IN TWO" and his "u gon' fukken diiieee nigga" boxed song replaced by It has to be this way. I am just comin' up with the ideas today holy shet

If you go to 1:11:20 of [url=http://www.twitch.tv/mirigeddon/b/558235019]this video on Mirigeddon's stream[/url], you can see what I mean by breaking the game to win. Problem is I have no idea how you'd reproduce it.

[QUOTE=PaperBurrito;45708550]I think if this game had you roaming around trying to escape them it would be almost as creepy[/QUOTE] That'd be an entirely different game altogether, akin to Amnesia or Outlast. By essentially having to sit still and ward them away from you repeatedly, it establishes quite a unique identity of its own.

Personally, i would just like a mod that changes all the sounds in the game to just one guy imitating everything. To the fan.. (Wooooooooooooooooooshhh) to the childish laughter of a 20 year old laughing like a child, to the static on the monitors. (Tsssshk) Something similar to this.

You almost got it, but Blade Foxy would probably be "I'm My Own Master Now!"

Anyone got footage of Foxy literally breaking the door? Haven't seen it yet

[QUOTE=Clovernoodle;45708592]Anyone got footage of Foxy literally breaking the door? Haven't seen it yet[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure someone made that up.

What I don't get is - aren't there windows in the security room? They must be good windows if the animatronics don't try to break them.

[QUOTE=Doom14;45708650]What I don't get is - aren't there windows in the security room? They must be good windows if the animatronics don't try to break them.[/QUOTE] Plexiglass? I'd assume they would buy shockproof windows to go along with the blast doors.

[QUOTE=riki2cool;45708667]Plexiglass? I'd assume they would buy shockproof windows to go along with the blast doors.[/QUOTE] I figured as much, but besides Chica's occasional "oh hey" through them, they don't really muck with them in any other way.

I'm pretty sure they don't break the windows because that would be vandalizing company property which they're probably not allowed to do.

[QUOTE=IntenseBarney;45708707]I'm pretty sure they don't break the windows because that would be vandalizing company property which they're probably not allowed to do.[/QUOTE] But don't they break through doors?

[QUOTE=Tinbe;45708732]But don't they break through doors?[/QUOTE] I've never seen the doors physically break other than getting jammed.

He honked Freddy's nose... how or was that a joke because that was pretty funny and unexpected.
