The Most OVERRATED FNAF Fan Game

One thing you forgot or missed about the Candy's remaster: Beating Shadow Candy unlocks CAM 13 during regular gameplay, allowing you to see the Rat's place of residence. What the game does not tell you is that this enables the Rat on *every* night of the game, and CAM 13 also persists if you hit New Game, essentially allowing for a pseudo NG+ mode.

This video finally answered a mystery that's been plaguing me for years. For the longest time I thought that Five Nights at Freddy's was about some kid losing a bet and being forced to hang out in an abandoned pizzeria for five nights. I thought this because I overheard some friends of mine discussing it. They had all actually played FnaF, though, and the newspaper clipping and the phone conversations make it pretty clear you're a night guard so I always thought it was weird they'd said this. Now I know that they must have been talking about FnaC 2.

I feel like for the third game, hiding from Cat under the covers might have been a good way to change things. The dread of Ret getting in without you being able to see if you hide for too long would probably be pretty impactful, maybe even paired with a nice jump scare of him pulling back the covers to scream in your face if you do sit there for too long.

I have never been afraid of any animatronic or found any design scary. Not one, across the ENTIRE umbrella of 'FNaF content,' has caused me to lose sleep at night. There have been designs I've thought were cool, or designs I thought were objectively scary, but none that I was personally afraid of. None, except for the Rat. For whatever reason, the design of the Rat absolutely terrifies me. I first saw it in FNaC 1 when I was 13ish, and immediately had nightmares from it. I can remember laying in my bed staring at the open closet with my damn imagination trying its best to ensure I don't sleep. Now I'm 19, and I STILL get scared of its design, ESCPECIALLY Monster Rat. To this day, I haven't so much as watched gameplay of FNaC 3 because of how petrifyingly afraid it makes me.

[@commentyouraddress]

Yeah, i'm a total sucker for good character design as a graphic artist, and I agree- Nightmare Rat definitely stands out to me for a few reasons. Him and Nightmare/Monster Cat obviously stand apart from the rest with their more gritty models, but something about Rat makes him infinitely superior to Cat, even if they look alike. I think the nightmare models in general just look more uncanny- probably due to their much taller and lanky stature. Rat's model in particular has a skinny, very lengthy tail that smoothly trails behind him whenever he runs, which i think just amplifies his whole design. Rat's face is also just generally more eerie. Cat's face model is simple, and just looks like a cat, maybe with the ears just higher up. Rat's face, however, looks like one of those old drawings of cartoon rats with comically large ears, but his face is noticeably longer than Cat's, which is again exaggerated by his gaping mouth. His eyes, which because of his long face also seem very close together. His eyes being close together is very important. His eyes to me are the most interesting part of his character design, because we're actually hardwired to fear it. Cat's eyes are just like a cat- front facing, because they are predators. Rat's eyes, however, are also front facing. Rats do not have front facing eyes, and usually need to turn to the side to see, similar to horses (herbivores) and birds (scavengers), who are much more passive creatures and not predators. Rats are not predators, they are prey. It makes his design seem unnatural, because we know there's something wrong with it, and that detail is just enough to make it tap in to our very primal brain that is telling us "that thing is not a rat". Front facing predators are hunters, who actively look for things to kill, and so we intentionally or not associate that with Rat. His teeth are still rat teeth, which clashes with the "this is a predator" signals our brain is sending to us and adds to the uncanny valley. He's also just more of a threat than Cat in game. Anyways, sorry if that was long, I love good character design in horror.

As a person who worked on Five Nights at Sonic's, I seriously hope you both do and don't cover it. I want to see someone give a proper retrospective on the impact the series left on FNaF fangames (mostly negative) as well as a full opinion on the series from someone who wasn't invested in it for years like most reviews of it tend to be, but I also really don't want some of the games I worked on in the past to get torn to shreds by a comment section. It's a double-edged sword. edit (4/14/23) - I made this comment when I was really tired and did a terrible job getting my point across and I really regret asking uhyeah to make the video, not because of peoples' opinions but because it brought unneeded attention to the series when Cy (creator of the games/friend of mine) has been trying to move on for like 3 years. I personally feel guilty about it.

[@nezelia2705]

why a negative impact? just because it was sonic or was there other drama as well?

[@ShadedAkumu]

​@@nezelia2705 Its main negative impact was community-wide acceptance of art theft and recolors. There's also smaller things like the fact that it ended up setting the idea that as long as you use popular established characters your game will get popular, regardless of quality, which isn't exactly what its creator intended but that is what happened, and low-effort and/or low-quality fangames based on other franchises followed pretty fast.

[@randomcoloradan2878]

Here's how i would fix some of the problems in FNAC 1. 1. Have night vision drain power very quickly 2. No glowing eyes. Instead, each animatronic would have specific, faint audio so you could hear which room they went to instead of just looking for eyes wihout night vision. Old Candy and especially RAT would have much more subtle audio 3. Have some kind of flashlight to shine down either hallway. However, Old Candy and RAT would hide from the light, so you would have to listen for audio or check the cameras. 4. To make cameras useful other than camera 11, camera 4, and camera 6, have Blank move to camera 2, 3, or 7 before he starts attacking. If he goes to camera 7, you have to close the left door. If he goes to camera 2, you have to close the ticket booth. If he goes to camera 3, you have to close the right door.

[@GhostlyBanes]

Fnac 1 was a pretty good fnaf clone and was very unique with its designs and characters.

I actually came up with an interesting concept for a Blank skin for FNAC 2 watching this a few weeks ago: Since the animatronics have been stored in a (now abandoned) warehouse, it would make sense that rebellious teens would leave their mark not only on the walls, but on Blank as well. A character that was once a canvas for innocent youths to express themselves and play with crayons and markers, now nothing more than a withered, rotten shell, graffitied and tagged by the most recent visitors to the warehouse. Best part? With that description above, it could lean into the classic theme of murderous animatronics. Did Blank murder the previous explorers? Or is that description meant to be taken innocently at face value?

Honestly I oddly found comfort in five nights at candy's 3, due to it centering around trauma and repressed memories caused by that trauma which was probably because I was going through some trauma myself at the time I watched it be played, oddly though I never found the cat and rat's mechanic boring in it. I completely am fine with saying the gameplay has flaws, heck something not mentioned was Lollipop's minigames which are Honestly incredibly hard to the point its frustrating.

@PannacottaFugo90 thats....not what I'm saying. I relate to some shit that I hate I relate to characters from stuff i find really bad. I'm saying I personally found the game good and a factor in that was because i found comfort(not relatability) in it as it helpped me a bit through my own trauma that was very obviously different from Mary's trauma. The game holds value to me because it holds a place in my heart for that fact, thats something thats normal. Omori is a game where people have a very similar outlook to it, its also a game about trauma and im planning to check it out because some have said its helpped them as well along with it being a good game. (Edit: i played Omori, its a absolutely wonderful and beautiful game that perfectly represents its themes I'm currently even now finding stuff I missed in it.) Relatability though can be a factor in games, ESPECIALLY in games about traumas, Depression, Personal Demons, and Anxiety. No ones saying its good just because they relate to it and especially not me. I found it fun, I really loved the story and I loved Vinny and Lolipop, I loved the extra area with the toys to encounter Lolipop, I loved the secret ending with origami cat, I loved the little touches to the game.

Something I'm suprised Uhyeah didn't bring up when talking about the cassette tape in FNAC 3 is the fact that sometimes Nightmare Rat will mess with the tape when he goes under the bed, and it will make a weird garbled sound. This makes it so it's really difficult to hear the sound cue for when Rat comes out from under the bed. Maybe it didn't happen to him and he didn't know about it?

An animatronic you can draw on and sketch, I wish there were concepts of Blank's interactions with children. Like does he kneel down or sit before the kids, does he laugh like it tickles when he gets colored? Does he show his drawings off like a proud father puts artwork on a fridge?

Ripppp nobody here talking about FNAC 3's minigames.

They even had a somewhat convincing CRT filter as opposed to the common "vertical black lines" other fan games tend to go for.

Another thing they could have done to make Caticus more unique is have them mess with the tape (maybe have them swap out the tape and instead start playing creepy stressful music, which could also cause Raticus to become more aggressive while it’s playing). This could add more to the gameplay loop by needing you to fix the music, giving Raticus time to attack you. It also gives the tape more of a use than just story reasons.

[@testerwulf3357]

Honestly would of loved if the cat could pause the music, like occasionally you had to check the tape to make sure it's hand wasn't reaching for it..if you got there in time the light would make it leave but if not it'd pause the tape then leave.

The "Cylinder effect" in the first game is called "Perspective", it's used (especially in the older FNaF games) to fake the 3D effect since the game engine is a 2D engine (So FNaF 1-6 and UCN) are 2D. Personally I really like the effect because it just looks cool in the game.

Hell, maybe the light causes Monster Cat to attack the player. So when he and Monster Rat are in the room at the same time, it’s more challenging because you need to scare off Rat while making sure not to accidentally hit Cat with the light and send him into a frenzy.

I have an idea for the cat gimmick in 3. Hear me out, the tape rewinding gimmick is cool, but what if the cat reaches up from behind the bed to try to grab it? All you have to do is shine the light at it to make it go away, but if it fully grabs it then it will stop the time and you have to do the night for infinity. Or alternate version, if the cat grabs the tape, then it will slow the night down by 0.5x speed. Idk feels kinda boring, just a thought though!

For FNAC 1, I think it would have made more sense, for the Animatronics to make some sort of sound effect when they reach the door, rather then have lazer eyes that peer through the darkness. Maybe the older animatronics had some sort of other gymic to make them more interesting.

I’m not sure if you know this, but in FNaC 3, there will be points where Monster Cat will try to pause the cassette player, and slow the night. In my opinion, this is a clever mechanic as it allows for the cassette player to stop suddenly, and forces you to return to check on it sooner than you’re use to, but I think we can agree that it would be better if a mechanic was added where you don’t respond to the cassette player suddenly pausing in time, Monster Cat will kill you.

[@kamuta1640]

As a huge fnac fan, I find characters the best thing these games have and for me, a person who is not really interested in actual gameplay and firstly looks at the story and characters, this is what makes it my favourite fangame. I do agree with all critique you told in this video and I don't even think that fnac plot is as genius as some people say (It's just not bad and people mostly like it for being laconic, but it still has very annoying plot holes). However, the character designs are the thing that made me literally obsessed with this series for my whole fucking teen age. And in the first place I would blame Blank. His unique weird design got me hooked right in the first trailer and he's still my favourite character

I think something that could make the cassete better is if an enemy had something to do with it A concept for this would essentially be: the cassete begins to sound strange, you have to stop the cassete and completely rewind it, also another thing, the cassete should actually take a long time to rewind DEPENDING on how long it's been playing, so if you played it for the full length, you then have to rewind it for the full length Another thing that would be cool is adding sanity and having it go down as the music isn't playing When sanity reaches 0, maybe enemy encounters are increased? Plus a chance for Vinny to spawn It gives the player and actual reason to use and rewind the cassete

With the telephone mechanic in the second one, I was thinking maybe three different ways to limit the amount of uses and make it more difficult: 1. Cooldown time, you have to wait for a certain period of time to use them again 2. They can only be used once each night or throughout the entire duration of the game so you can use them sparingly. 3. Knowing the penguin's mechanic of crashing the camera system, maybe they could mess with the telephones by destroying certain ones or malfuncfioning them. Or for each night you can use them however many times you want and the ones you use will be out of order the following night and remain broken for the rest of the game. There's so much wasted potiential in that second game and is definitely the worst of the bunch of Candy games.

There was also another glitch for the Vinnie that I knew about and when I played Candy's 3 and FINALLY got to the night with Vinnie (I can't remember but it's the 6th night right?) I tried it but it didn't work. It was basically that you just had to play the casette player right away when you get in the game and then just hide under the bed. Maybe they fixed the glitch or something because the video I got it from is really old. I'm really sad I didn't find this video sooner because I could've beated that night if the glitch still works, but I already uninstalled it.

[@davidnissim589]

I think the Five Nights at Wario's franchise is my favorite because it has very unique gameplays unlike most of the other fan games. The first two games are based off of the first two FNAF games... BUT, in the third game, you have to choose a different room to hide in every night, and each room has its own mechanics. In the origins game, you actually get to walk around the building, and trying to dodge the demons that way. Pretty fun. In the fourth game, you are watching a haunted TV where the demons appear, and you have to get rid of them by changing the channel, turning the brightness off, turning the radio on, etc. That's probably the most unique mechanic in a FNAF fan game I've ever seen.

And the amount of power you have would be GREATLY reduced

[@sushisuke]

Great vid, Candy's never gets content like this. I have one nitpick (or at least disagreement). I do not at all agree with your comment on the lack of impact from Blank's jumpscare (10:25), you seem to have missed the point or expected something more like Foxy's that goes by within a second or two. The point of the gap between the glass smashing and the jumpscare is to make you panic. The pacing here is interesting if you break it into three parts: the glass smashing is slow, clunky, unexpected. The sudden flashing makes you panic, frantically searching if you have any way out of this situation. And finally, as everything goes dark, Blank slowly approaches, as mechanical, worn and ominous as always. Your unfair judgement seems to focus too much on the speedy impact, which may fit a character like Foxy, but doesn't fit Blank. As is, it's one of the most memorable situations in a game that, as you said, has a ton of piss-easy and samey nights.

[@testerwulf3357]

Exactly this. Just look at people playing the game getting attacked by blank for the first time, they had no idea what was happening and you could see them pissing themselves trying to find a way to keep blank out only to figure out he was already inside before they died. Longer deaths can be very impactful and scary. Short ones it's like "AHH- ..so like anyways" but long drawn out ones have you panic and question what you did wrong, you feel the incoming dread as you know it's over.

25:20 thats why the 3rd game is probably my least favorite. Sure everything is cool but the gameplay is very very bad. As said in the video you gotta look back and forth until you get attacked BUT you only get attacked if you shine the flashlight at a monster. If you dont shine your light at them the attack will never begin, meaning you can beat the nights by just afking. Works with rat vinny, shadow rat and im unsure if you can just shine the light at the bottom of the screen to scare cat but it might be possible, making the games only actual danger be cat

In Candy's 3 I think it would have benefited from swapping up the Cat's mechanics. Instead of a death risk why not have the cat be a thief that will steal the tape that's attracted to the dark and comes out when the rat is out. The cat can have a set or randomized timer to when he's likely to steal the tape. This way you have to either deal with the rat or risk having the cat steal the tape and make the night much longer. I'm just thinking aloud here but it's something to consider.
