![]() In fact, this version of Freddy is the one and only time we see an animatronic behaving as it should in the entire franchise.Ī genuinely lovely and caring child-focused creation. Something which later leads him to becoming our ally, because he’s not able to be corrupted by an exterior force. At the start of the game, we see Freddy enter Safe Mode. Our only ally? Freddy himself, a welcome change from the previous games. We quickly meet our antagonists, the other animatronics and Vanessa, the security guard. A simple premise, but with this new format, being able to explore means a new way to tell the FNAF story. The goal? Survive until 6:00AM, just like all the previous games. Instead, you step into the Fazbear-shoe wearing Gregory, a young child who seems to be locked in the Freddy Fazbear Mega Pizza Plex overnight. No longer is it just a point-and-click game where you’re locked in one position. The moment you start the game, you realise just how different this game is from all the previous instalments. I was eager to get back into it and unravel the next mystery. I had reacquainted myself with the lore and caught up on what I’d missed. All I had to do now was wait, until the game’s release.

In fact, in anticipation for the game’s release I wanted to remind myself about the complex background story to the FNAF games. ![]() It wasn’t until Security Breach’s trailer was released that I remembered the franchise. I would watch some of my favourite YouTubers play the fourth game and after that, I’d pretty much lost all interest in the game. After that, the formula started to grow stale. The last FNAF game I played prior to this one was the third, Five Night’s at Freddy’s 3. Instead, what I’ll be taking a look at is the latest – and certainly not last – addition to the FNAF franchise: FNAF Security Breach. ![]() I fear no amount of wordcount could get across the sheer complexity of this strangely endearing series. Now, I’m not going to go into the history of the Five Night’s at Freddy’s history, nor will I try to even explain the franchise’s lore and story.

What started as a point and click survival horror expanded into a series of thirteen (including spin-off) games, novels and a host of merchandise. ![]() Hard to imagine that one little point-and-click horror game released in 2014 grew to become one of the biggest multimedia gaming names out there. ![]()
