I don't I have ever found a game that better conveys the vibe of being a kid and sneaking out of your room at night for a snack or something and being paranoid some larger than life monster will jump out from the shadows of the basement or the living room, with emphasis on the "being a kid" part, right down to your bedroom being the only true safe space. The use of furby-like animatronics for the horror was extremely inspired imo. The aesthetics of this game are stamped into my brain permanently. Honestly, I'm really glad this game didn't have any follow ups, because it had a chance to sell out and can stand as a self contained experience, even if it sucks that this game isn't really talked about as much as its contemporaries. I mean, yes this game has its flaws but I'm fond enough of it that I'm willing to look past it. And it helps that it's dlc was fucking awesome.
