How Audio Enhances the Horror of Five Nights At Freddy's

[@ScruffyMusic]

This video's gotten a bit of information wrong. For instance, the animatronic scream in FNAF 1 is not a recording of a child screaming, it's a sound clip of a woman's scream from an 80's sci-fi horror film called _Inseminoid_ (1981). Apologies for that!

@yeah up yours too buddy Freddy laughs when he moves to another room. His last stop before your office is the bottom right corner of the map. He doesn’t go into the camera blind spot on that side like Chica. If your door is open, Freddy is in that corner and you hear his laugh, then yes, you are already dead, and you can expect Freddy to suddenly be in your face a few seconds later.

[@imortal333]

@yeah up yours too buddy I don’t remember the camera numbers, but if that’s the bottom-right camera, then yes. Just like all the animatronics, if you look at Freddy in the camera, he’ll be frozen in place for a bit. The amount of time he’s stuck for is dependent on what difficulty he’s set to. A big part of winning 4/20 mode is doing a loop of closing both doors, looking at Freddy, looking at Foxy, open both doors, repeat. It’s still really tough because the strat is mostly based on Freddy taking his time when the power runs out, which he is much less likely to do on 20 difficulty.

16:07 So theres this theory that I find quite interesting. The theory is that when the pizzeria was open and the power were to go out, Freddy would start playing his song and lighting up his eyes to attempt to calm down distressed children. Since his song seems to be in a music-box-lullaby-style, this would make a lot of sense.

[@Chippur]

Yeah, that's actually a good theory. Because why else would he have that function installed?

[@samboi123]

I think that sort of design idea exists a fair amount in the series. iirc the Toy-series animatronics attack you because they’re programmed to protect children & the Glamrocks (at least Freddy & Chica) are designed to actively aid lost or stressed children until their parents or guardians can find them. In both cases you’re just sufficiently unfortunate that they’re instead trying to kill you.

The progression of the series is just the most surreal, terrifying, disturbing thing. The slow descension into pure insanity with each game coming out is what really gets me.

Can we also talk about how absolutely STRESS INDUCING it is when, during endgame when the power goes out, the only audio information you are given other than Freddy’s song Is his *footsteps* As he slowly walks to your door, then into your office For me, honestly, that’s when my heart-rate skyrockets the MOST

The creepy ambiance of red herrings gives me the chills, you feel the emptiness through the halls outside the office with slight underlying feeling of something twisted and gruesome going on within the pizzeria.

[@xornedge8204]

I just wonder how Scott came up with all of this alone. It’s hard to design functional concepts without prior knowledge in psychology. You have to know what gets people’s gears spinning. This game was far ahead of its time.

[@aquaticchaos1717]

I guess he had some experience doing games like this before. FNaF wasn't his first game, let alone his first franchise. He's done plenty of other games in Clickteam such as- which I'm playing through lately- The Desolate Hope. It's actually free on Steam if you're curious. I believe it's the only non-FNaF game under Scott's publishing name that is on Steam.

[@moron4]

@@aquaticchaos1717 What about Chipper game?

[@QueenofSilence101]

I would assume he talked to other game devs he knows personally, and asked people in his life for feedback. Maybe some of the people he previously worked with had an interest in horror. They could've given advice on how to create a solid horror atmosphere.

[@i_like_lemons]

There are many great horror sound designs from other games to learn from.

[@morbidilian]

he did say in the Dawko interview that, while working on the game, he would let his kids test the mechanics so i guess that adds up to it. He knows how to scare someone

[@ProphecyxOffic]

You should analyze FNAF 4, 3 and 6 who depends on sound mechanics as well! Good video!

"Having some non-zero sound ambience actually makes an environment calmer than one with total silence." Straight facts. The library at my school is dead quite, so if I were to try to study there, I'd be anxious about not making the slightest noise that would interrupt the silence.

[@aquaticchaos1717]

Funny, that kind of ties into the next FNAF-related video he made. Specifically the Pizzeria Simulator section, "food tastes better when you're hungry." Which means sounds you cause yourself feel louder than sounds you don't- especially in situations with a lack of sound and/or when you have to focus. So kind of like when you sneak into the kitchen to grab a midnight snack while your family is asleep, and every little creak of the floorboard and opening the cabinet sounds SO MUCH LOUDER than had you done it around noon because of having to focus on staying quiet.
