This Looks Phenomenal! Great Job!!!

I loved this game so much that I made some fan art for it. AvocadoDreams and ChostlyAsh made a phenomenal job with this experience, and I am patiently excited for both the mod for this game and the second one. If either GhostlyAsh or AvocadorDreams or even someone from the development team sees this, I wish you all the luck in life, and take your time with the project! Thank you for delivering such a wonderful game!

This game is just absolutely lovely in every capacity. Whether we talk about simple things such as the character designs or more complex things such as the gameplay, this game captures that sweet, cheesy (in a good way) style of Scott. The characters look uncanny and cursed, but in a way that feels unintentional, such as weird early CGI-animated characters walking that fine line of the uncanny valley, a thing that very few fangames achieve in their designs. The sound design is incredible; the intentionally done lower-quality sounds with exaggerated pitches in the screams combined with the little detail, such as the sounds of your heartbeat while checking for the main threats, do wonders for making the atmosphere feel uncomfortable. And even though the ambiance is royalty-free music, it is meticulously selected to fit the tone of the beautifully designed environments. Furthermore, the location feels more detailed and realistic than any location ever presented in the official FNAF series but does not lose in any way the little sprinkles of cheese, making every render of the game have a strong personality. The gameplay is just well-designed, with a heavy emphasis on checking the monitors to track down the animatronics, whether it's the mechanic of desynchronizing Benny and Chickadee 2.0 to not come at once or tracking down Foxie and Freddie to ensure you are prepared for their arrival and the random appearance of Dolly and dealing with him quickly; the management of your energy is in a way that's more polished even than the original FNAF 1 game. Even the story is great. Because all of the mechanics are being taught to you precisely in the text before the start of the night The Phone Dude can shine a light on the mystery of the supernatural nature of the animatronics while keeping his middle-aged cool-dad personality filled to the brim with personality! The final reveal in Night 5 gives a great explanation for all the events that unfolded throughout the nights and foreshadowed in the phone calls in a way that feels more cohesive and rational than any of the individual narratives presented in isolation in any FNAF game. with the cherry on top being the mystery of the dead corpse inside the final character of the overtime night, which is even strengthened by the suspicion of the company trying with all of its power to hide the events that unfolded throughout its existence. In many ways this game is even more of a polished experience than the original games, feeling like a genuine passion project meant to enhance all the concepts seen throughout the series in a more natural way while adding some ideas from the original fan theories from the beginning of the series. This game is just phenomenal, and I can't stop thinking about it! I was even genuinely terrified by this experience in a way that no FNAF game could've replicated since the first game. Every member of the GhostyDreams team did an excellent job, and I can't wait to see what the future of your creative process will be. I wish you all the luck and love, whether in making future titles to this series or starting something new altogether. 10/10
