12 Yr old me was the bravest. Still a pretty good game!
This is definitely the scariest in the series. The first 2 nights were terrifying. But I found the game pretty easy. I beat the first 4 nights without dying. But that might just be because of my epic gamer skills.
a little better than the first but not as good as people say it is
Five nights at Candy’s 3 is regarded as the best game in the series.
I don’t see it.
It’s better than FNAC 2, but it’s far from being as good as the original.
FNAC 3 suffers from the same problems I have with Fnaf 4. The gameplay never changes, and you do the same thing for the entire game. You look around the room for the rat. Once you hear him you flash your light on him before he enters the room. Eventually, he’ll get in so you have to play this minigame where you have to keep your light on his face to stop him from killing you. Once you win he’ll go under your bed. You then need to check under to see which side he’s on. After that, you then go out from there and wait on the opposite side of the bed until he makes a sound and flash your flight on him before he kills you.
Sounds complicated on paper right? Well, it is. It took forever for me to understand how everything worked. The first night is easily the best in the game due to this. Since you’re still getting used to how the game works Monster Rat is truly intimidating. Of course, once you figure out how to play, the game falls apart. You have to do the same sequence of actions for every encounter with Monster Rat. It was monotonous, and I got bored after a while. They try to spice up the game by introducing another enemy called Monster Cat, but he’s not a threat in the slightest. You have to flash your light on him when appears next to your bed. You’re already flashing your light through the entire room when you're looking for Monster Rat, so the Cat doesn’t add anything. Monster Cat is only a threat when he appears while Monster Rat is attacking you, which feels unfair since all your attention needs to be on Monster Rat to stop him from killing you.
Oh, there’s another enemy I haven’t mentioned. He’s exclusive to night 6 and is treated as the final boss of the game. He’s either unfairly brutal to deal with or an absolute joke if you use an exploit to win. He’s Monster Rat, but ten times harder and quicker. When you have to keep the flashlight on his face he’ll jump around and move his head to make it difficult to flash him. If the light gets off his face you instantly lose. It feels impossible. Thankfully due to an oversight, you can just stare at the door and win the entire night. As long as you don’t look at him he can’t attack you. This oversight turns this night into a joke.
There is one gameplay mechanic that I love. The game gives you a tape recorder that you can use to speed up the night. It comes at a cost. The music can make it difficult to hear Monster Rats' audio cues. And if Monster Rat gets under the bed while it’s on he’ll sabotage it forcing you to fix it before you can use it again. It also can be stolen. I don't know what causes it to happen but you are not able to use it for the rest of the night. I love the tape recorder system. I wish it was used in a better game.
There is one thing I love about this game that makes it slightly better than Fnaf 4, the story. Our player character Mary is suffering from nightmares due to a traumatizing incident that happened at the Cat and Rat theater. In between nights, you have these Yume Nikki inspired segments where you have to explore Mary’s mind to learn more about the theater and what happened. These are easily the best parts of the game. I love exploring Deepscape, there are so many things to find, like newspaper articles that help you learn more about the Rat and Cat theater, and arcade machines that unlock minigames. These in between sections of the game are the best parts of the game.
Five nights at Candy’s 3 is overall an meh game with a decent story that makes up for it. I recommend checking it out at least once for the Deepscape portions of the game.

Great story trapped inside a can of terrible gameplay. The minigames are cool but the nights are incredibly bad. Hoping for a better experience on the next one
Pretty neato. Monster Rat's pretty awesome looking.
Best in the FNAC series and doesn’t even feel like a parody.
Tbh kinda overrated but still good
yknow this is the one with the greatest groundwork for me . reminiscent of fnaf4 (currently my fav fnaf game) with some spooky bedroom setting and a mentally ill little girl with some kind of heavy PTSD and as i expected it ended up being my fav one in the fnac series . not that weird if you ask me since this is right up my alley but im really sad this didnt end up being a dealbreaker for the series like it was fnaf4 for me
this time around they shook things up quite a bit since gone is the office and the factory setting and you will be sitting in your bedroom trying to fight off these rat cat bodysuit who kinda look extremely kinky idk i have this weird vibe like why are these 2 made for children entertainment they look fucking hideous im not surprised she ended up doing cognitive behavioural therapy so anyway the main gimmick is that when the rat gets in your room you have to shine the flashlight in front of his face in whatever part of the room he is if youre too slow hes gonna get into the room and youll have to shine his face again in order to not get killed and hes gonna get under your bed and youre gonna check in what side of the bed he is so that you can turn around and wait for him to crawl out of the bed so that you can flash him to heaven and back the end
now if this sounds complicated it really is but youll soon get a jist of what you have to do since this is the entire gameplay loop youre gonna do for 5 nights and this is where the achilles heel of the game really rests . its gonna get real monotonous real fast and theres nothing to really shake up the tension after you understand what you have to do . even the implementation of cat into the equation isnt enough to bring the fear up a notch since hes just gonna be a hindrance all night
a nice addition that i though was super cool is the tape recorder that can play some relaxing music if you hit play and its gonna make the night go x2 faster . thats sick af if you ask me really brings some different strategy into the gameplay and sometimes the monsters are gonna fuck with it or even steal it (didnt happen to me but other reviews say its possible source: i trust them)
beside the weird fact that these guys are still trying to tag team the protagonist they do have some cool animation and spooky presence but in the end it wasnt as oppressive or claustrophobic as fnaf4 was for me even tho this one also plays with audio cues and shit like that
subpar gameplay for a really interesting story tho the little yume nikki segments are interesting and im pretty sure you can deeply explore the dreamscape but im too bad at it so my main source of lore was the ending scenes in the rat and cat theatre and that shits interesting af in particular the finale and the real reason this girl is scarred for life
its always interesting to me to see media tackling stuff like psychotherapy because usually they just pretend horror stuff can be dealt with with a "omg another day another slay" but the reality of that is way worse and im glad they implement this kind of storylines sometimes in the stories theyre trying to tell
anyway it was a nice game and possibly my favorite in the series i wish i could love this way more than i do but what can you do
also the special night with the rat dressed as a bdsm masochist im sorry ????????????? who thought that uhhhh that was a good idea cmon

I'm doubleteaming the cat and the rat, why the fuck not... the weird Puppet clone can watch too, I don't mind question mark ?
This was the ORIGINAL magnum opus of the Five Nights at Freddy's fangame community. I still really love it, despite certain gameplay issues which have been recounted very often throughout the fanbase. It has such a great span of content, but the best part to me is the emotional story which absolutely surpasses almost everything in the main FNaF games without being a vague puzzle.
melhor jogo da trilogia
da um otimo fim a franquia !
Melhor, finalmente um que consegue te dar uns sustos, mas não é aquele jogão não, encerra bem essa trilogia...(Está vindo um novo, Deus nos ajude).
