Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I felt like the simplicity of the mechanics gave me a lot of room for every little aspect of the experience to get absorbed properly, resulting in the frantic flipping of cameras and general wasting of power that comes with that expertly crafted early night panic, so even the first parts of the game involve close calls with resource management for first playthroughs.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Plenty of jumpscares, a learning curve to work those brain muscles, and an excellent introduction to the FNAF world for those just jumping on the bandwagon, like me.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The high quality sound design, dark lighting, cramped setting and random events create a very unnerving atmosphere that still creeped me out at times in spite of knowing most of this game's tricks and details.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The MS Paint graphics give a timeless PS2 vibe, an area where realism and art style clash.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
