sister location really feels like an odd one this time it basically took the entire premise of fnaf as a whole crushed it and yeeted it right through the window at the funtime auditorium for kids and adults to enjoy

this time around youre an engineer for an amusement park ? actually I'm really unsure if this is an amusement park to be honest maybe it's just a theatre ok whatever and you're gonna go through some menial tasks here and there to ensure that the animatronics are ready for a new day at this thing

I was honestly surprised to acknowledge the fact that this is actually MORE story heavy than I would've accounted for and the amount of voice acting and cutscenes were jarring at first but I guess they really did a good job both with the storytelling aspect and the voice acting making for a really gripping and immersive experience throughout ALTHOUGH if I'm being really honest the game was damaged by the 5 nights structure this time . right when it was getting good the game ends at probably under an hour (not counting the endless retries in those shit minigames) making the experience go too fast to even digest what the fuck happened and thats a shame because I really got deep into the atmosphere with this one

also the game has some pretty tongue in cheek humor that I was definitely not expecting making for some fun punchlines here and there my fav part is the angsty teen narrator ffs

gameplay wise oooooh boy so gone is the "force the animatronics OUT of your room" formula and instead this time you're the one whos gonna move in each beasts den trying to be sneaky sneaky about it and this part is kinda interesting cause each animatronic has its own gimmick like ballora is motion sensitive and funtime foxy gets triggered by the flashlight (the thing used to shine a light not the sec toy where you put your dick in) and these are probably the best segments because you're gonna be immersed into the darkness listening to audio cues trying not to fuck that shit up or else buagauaaaahguaaa jumpscare you're dead

unfortunately the parts I actually have a issue with are the minigames which can range from …interesting to absolutely fucking bad annoying and infuriating and I'm not even joking here some of them are really bad and most of my playtime was actually spent retrying minigames now I do understand that they couldn't make them too easy or else you wouldn't get too many jumpscares but the problem is that they don't even register as scary after 10 retries they're just annoying as fuck and a signal that you fucked that shit up . at first they were amusing but the more you progressed the more they got absolutely unbearable the bonnie puppet ? the face mask one ? the pad entering numbers ? bitch why the fuck would you make me purposely annoyed when I'm trying to get scared I can either be boiling of rage or shitting my pants and you chose the worst answer for the dilemma

there's definitely less animatronics than other installments but in this one you will be confronting face to face with each one many times so that you can counter their scares one on one and get accustomed to how they work and zap those fuckers

the designs are also interesting and I think ballora is really a nice addition to the cast and yknow it's pretty funny how the faces of these jerks open in 4 pieces does that make sense like they don't open their jaws they open their entire face I have no idea if this makes sense please pleek bear with me

anyway as I was saying being a more story focused entry you're gonna get lore on these characters and also insights on baby's story motives and 1 on 1 talk with her as she helps you out of the auditorium during your night shifts what a nice fella hahahahahah

SPOILER the fuck not if you get to the real ending you're gonna run right into the scooping room just for her to scoop your innards out so that they can wear your skin and run away from the auditorium biggest twist ever I audibly gasped when that happened its fucking insane I was not expecting that like I was really trusting this bitch animatronic who used the power of empathy these AI are getting to clever I fear ariana grande AI and jiafei watch yalls backs anyway that ones a pretty incredible ending but if you want another ending or a joke ending shall I say you can do an extra minigame and you're gonna get into a room resembling the one from fnaf1 and you're gonna do the exact same type of gameplay check security cameras and close vents and thats pretty SICK honestly I loved it

now umh in general this is a fun entry more fun for the story beats and the immersive narrative less fun for the actual gameplay really a missed opportunity to make the character move in purposeful ways chile anyway so
