Fucking phenomenal.
A absolute masterclass in atmosphere, story, and acting.
This is an underrated masterpiece and is my favorite fnaf game by far.
Now yes, I may have some sentimental feelings toward this game because I played this game so much in my childhood, and I thought it was the coolest shit ever. It was my first fnaf game, and god I’m so glad it was.
Now okay, there are problems, and I’m not going to ignore that. I understand that the gameplay is less than stimulating, and is nothing like the traditional fnaf formula, but in my opinion sister location is not a game. It is an experience. The gameplay is nothing but an interactive element to it, and yes, it can be annoying at times, but you have to admit that it still crafts a perfect chilling atmosphere. This is a scary game, the voice acting is chilling, the color palette, and the limited vision is all really great stuff. But not only that, the game is also funny as HELL. Scott has a genuinely great sense of humor, and this film balances its tone perfectly.
The lore behind sister location is frightening stuff, and it is genius. The scooper ending is absolute perfection. Its tension goes so fucking hard and Ennard in the background is the scariest thing in the world. When the scooper finally scoops you, it is the biggest jump scare in the world, and is shocking. All the endings are fantastic, but this and the spring trap ending are the best.
Also the piano in the background in the spring trap ending is actually fantastic. Genuinely brilliant.
I could rant about how this is a masterpiece in every way, but I feel I’ve written enough. I understand why people hate this game (the gameplay isn’t the best ik) but everything else is a masterclass.
