Rather than functioning as a straightforward remake of previous titles, it presents a virtual collection of experiences inspired by the series while introducing original scenarios that expand its gameplay.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
- I feel like hard mode was under utilised, as Steelwool had the opportunity to revitalise nights from the remakes and possibly make their own nights for them.
