Content Nightmares?

[VolnuttHeroP64]

Excuse me, I find this game somewhat disturbing & Harmful mentaly. Considering this is a Prank Scare title, will this game cause nightmares? I'm just concerned, that's all, and I want to keep some people safe.

OH okay. I don't think FNaF goes under "extreme" though, really.

Then which Factor do you think it is?

[BabyCharmander]

I'm not certain, because I don't know how the system works. I honestly think it would be on the lower scale of things. There's very little visual violence (like the eyeball thing I mentioned earlier), though other things are mentioned in hidden newspaper clippings, and the guy on the phone explains that the animatronics will try to shove you into a suit and wind up killing you that way. You never actually see the animatronics killing you--they scream in your face, but that's it.

It IS a scary game, but it doesn't fall under the "violent" sort of scary.

There are obviously jumpscares, but only if you lose. The atmosphere is scary--the locations you see through the camera are dim, there are creepy noises that get worse as the game progresses, and you are neither able to fight the animatronics nor run from them (you only defend yourself from them by shutting the doors in time).

Does that help?

They'll kill you In-Game which is Graphic. Only someone brave enough would play it. So count me out. I find that this game is uncomfortable.

Are you those casual gamers? Because the death scenes in this game do not compare to the other ♥♥♥♥ thats out there.

[BabyCharmander]

...Why is "casual gamer" an insult? How do you even define casual gaming?

In any case, you can just look at a person's profile to see what sort of games they play if it's so important.

Stop trying to protect those who can defend themselves - the game is labelled exactly how it is, and anyone who picks it up by mistake is clearly not paying attention to whats being stated. Since no actual GORE or death is onscreen, only implied, the title is heavily unlikely to be labelled as an extreme title...theres a whole lot worse than this in the genre.

And that list isn't even a real professional thing - so this is ridiculous anyway.

I have read some of your posts, understand what you are doing, and think that it is good parenting.
Sure nightmares might not harm people, but as a kid it can really affect you. A lot of people on the internet prefer to just act tough and pretend problems do not exist at all. So you will likely get criticized so they can puff their chests out, or they are used to horror games like this and are unaffected.

To give you my opinion on this game: Yes, this game will likely give a kid nightmares. The game pulls off a great eerie environment despite being set in a kid-friendly location at night. It may scare them to not want to stay after dark which is good, but may also make them imagine it branching to other kid things they liked previously.
Should you deny them it? It is moreso up to them, as they know themselves better than anyone and individuals react to things differently.
Engaging fears is a part of life however, and if they learn to face their fears early on it will help them a lot in the future.

The BEST compromise you could make is find all the information on the game as you think necessary(like asking here or watching gameplay) and instead of deciding for them: give them the information you have found, tell them your opinion and why, and let them ultimately decide.

Well, i dont find any scare thing in living animal robots. My hardest nightmare is my girl ♥♥♥♥♥♥ with random guy. And after this nightmare, its was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ real.

youll only get nightmares if you were afraid of chuckechees as a girl

[FoutBallon]

The game is 2spook4me but even if you did put some "block" to prevent the kiddies from playing it, they can always watch videos of the game, play the demo or buy it from somewhere else. And if they get sp00ked, then they'll definately get some nightmares.

But really, this is just a humorous game, let the kids run wild and have a slice of pizza with gud ol' Freddy Fazbear.

That is, if the kids are ready for Freddy...

[Firing Line]

Well I have never bought this game I will NEVER buy a horror game they jsut aren't my kinda game but this game interested me so I looked it up on the Youtubes and I think about it during night but i blot it out and think of music that I like in my head (it hekps me sleep) so this game could give you nightmares if you aren't ready 4 freddy. Also when ever i'm the FNAF dicussions I feel very uneasy not sure why though...

Too bad, people who wanted to play it said yes, and now it's here and you need to deal with it.

[Firing Line]

Well it maybe because this game is differnent from all the other horror games it's just you get a feeling you never have while in other horror games just so tense and always afraid that Foxy will kill you when you don't look at Pirates cove and the first time you see that jumpscare... damn
