I (somehow) enjoyed playing it, BUT HOLY ♥♥♥♥ THERE IS NO WAY THIS SHOULD HAVE RELEASED IN THIS STATE.

I would love to give this a positive review as it has reinstated my interest into the series but $40 is just way to much for the lack of optimization and polish and the amount of bugs.

Game is overall cool and has its moment, but feels not play-tested at all, my save got completely bugged after 10 hours progress which is making me start all over, if anyone is thinking about buying it wait for some patches

I do not recommend it right now, and I have yet to finish it. I recommend waiting until the future to buy it, but let me list the pros so I don't just seem like I'm complaining.
1. It's very beautiful on max settings, a revolutionary experience looking at these animatronics and environments in beautiful computer-busting ultra graphics.
2. There are horror segments in this game that are stellar, I love them.
3. Mapping out a route ahead of time, using Freddy as a desperate last attempt to escape imminent doom just hits the right way, and the sprinting feels fast while having a reasonable amount of stamina.

Now the cons I have are mainly just the fact that this game is an early birth and should've been put back in the oven before the hamster behind Steel Wool fell asleep on the release button.
1. Optimization is just... garbage. My set up isn't top tier NASA computer, but it can reliably play taxing games at high frame rates, but this game just obliterates the set up. The rendering is sometimes just egregious and I have gotten stuck in an unloaded chunk way more often than I should for a $40 game.
2. Bugs. Bugs galore. Bugs everywhere.
3. The animatronics, I can run around a corner with a dead end and they'll actually lose me. I genuinely hope this is just a bug and not how this is meant to be published, because this ruins the anxiety of being chased when I know that safety is a turn away. I only have my word as proof but I swear I lost an animatronic just running around a food stand, this is incredibly stupid.
4. Teleporting animatronics, because that's what the game needed. I would love to say that this is a bug, but it doesn't seem so. Apparently, the patrol S.T.A.F.F have mastered magic, because they can teleport to the beginning of their routes and they can also just teleport animatronics over to you.
5. Texture pop in so blatant it makes games from 2015 look more advanced. I started off playing on low settings, and there are times where I couldn't read signs because I had to wait for the textures to load.

Just... just please wait for the game to be fixed. Buying it now would only reaffirm that Steel Wool can get away with releasing unfinished product.

edit: There are people saying "It's the fans fault for yelling at Scott Cawthon/Steel Wool to release it early." I don't believe that people wanting to play a game sooner should impact the quality of the game, since you should still release the game at a finished, not as buggy release. There are great games that have had a lot of hype before release and still come out at a good standard. And as of this edit, all the issues in this review are still there, even when I've upgraded my hardware over the holidays. I do love this game, but the flaws of it's current status shouldn't be ignored or glossed over, when the issues have been resolved, this will become a positive review.

edit2: This game has had no serious update that fixes any of the complaints listed in this review, it's been around a month and the closest thing we've seen is fixes for minor things. As I've played more, not only have my complaints remained, but more have accumulated. This game shouldn't have been released like this. At this rate, I'm so close to saying don't ever buy this game, save the money and go buy a sandwich or something.

This game is a true testament to how Steel Wool is a company of ex-Pixar employees. The animation and art is lovely, everything else is an absolute train wreck.

Updated

1) There is no sense of direction as the game is trying to be both linear and open world. There are no map icons or repeated hints from the characters to somehow direct the player. Doors and specific locations lack the fundamentals of game design and seem to hide themselves from the player instead of being rightfully obvious. More likely than not you will get lost several times while playing this when the solution to progress should be painfully obvious.

2) The AI is terribly designed and more of a chore to work around. Animatronics will teleport instead of naturally having to hunt and look for you, they almost always know where you are. Whether or not you are hidden/safe is unclear and the hiding/distraction mechanics rarely come into play and can actually get you killed. Security bots are just thrown into environments as some pathetic means of creating tension and stealth when it's just an exercise in futility once an actual bot spawns. The animatronics are really just annoying obstacles at times and will get in the way rather than pose as a threat, leaving players often stuck or no choice but to game over.

3) The saving system is a joke. Why are we still doing this savepoint garbage in anything? You will almost guarantee to see a YouTuber run into this issue if you're planning on watching a playthrough, as the spaces between save points are ridiculous and will send players back miles in progress from guaranteed, unfair deaths. I have repeated multiple segments after being unable to find the savepoint or otherwise being spontaneously game-overed out of nowhere.

4) Give the player something to do for once. I am baffled that we are in a game expanding an entire mall but exploration is rewarded with nothing but bad texturing and bloated gigs of empty rooms. Like most, I figured a mall would let us mess around and do fun little games from time to time, especially with the concept art and general idea of the location itself. But no, other than finding collectibles for an achievement there is zero reason to peek around every corner, which is pitiful coming from a Five Nights at Freddy's product.

5) This game's optimization should be an obvious problem for anyone with eyes. Even with high graphics settings you'd be too wishful to think most of the textures will render in properly. What is even weirder is that not all the textures appear to be affected by your graphics settings and are either stuck looking clear or completely dead. The camera system in-game is this gaudy, seizure-inducing mess of visual clutter. An issue like this has been a staple for near every FNAF game and I cannot fathom why no one working on these things realizes how painful it is to look it.

6) After looking through my own playthrough and what others have found this game has shockingly nothing lore-wise. Nothing that was built up in the previous titles is considered and the game rushes forward with no consideration for actual player intrigue. Stuff happens while other things just don't, with most of the teased content just not being in the final product. After a few hours you really start to notice just how much the game does not give you and this is especially shocking for a Five Nights at Freddy's installment.

7) Half of the puzzles in this game are rage inducing and can literally leave the player with no choice but to quit. I’m dead serious. God speed to the people who found out the solution to the Mazercise puzzle, otherwise I would have just had to end my run permanently. I thoroughly refuse to buy any indication this game was play tested with half the puzzles and missions they let in.

8) This one feels inexcusable to me in every possible way but the later end of the game, which is around 3 hours of content, does not have saving enabled at all. The game gives you a choice to leave or stay in the mall to explore the rest of what is going on and if you want an actual normal experience you'd stay. But after that, there's literally zero saving. None. How tf are you going to encourage exploration of more areas, extra missions, and a finale segment but then REMOVE all possibilities to save? If a player gets bugged or just cannot continue playing because of their personal lives, they pretty much have to start over. You can only finish the game if you're ready for a 3-hour play session that you perform flawlessly.

Some of the worst game design choices I've EVER seen in my entire life.

Some final short gripes:

- Enemies repeat the same five lines of dialogue while you're being hunted
- There's no clear understanding of stealth, robots are often able to see you when you're completely cut from their cone of vision, and it's not clear if the dark protects you in any way
- A stamina meter in an exploration game of this size is the dumbest game design choice I have ever seen in my entire life
- Utilize the hiding and distraction mechanics, they're much too rare and some areas leave player's completely defenseless

This review may be subject to change after enough patches, but at its current state in January 2022, the game is not finished.
Very rarely will you go a full 2 minutes without some immersion-breaking bug appearing out of nowhere. This is a horror game, and when everything works it is quite scary, but with lackluster AI and broken stealth mechanics it is impossible to play the game how it was intended. There are an overwhelming amount of security bots that will teleport animatronics near you if you are spotted, which seems neat on paper, but their pathing is sporadic and unpredictable in the heat of the moment, and even when you have the time to watch for when it is safe to move on, sometimes it feels like you will inevitably be caught because of how many there are, not to mention how broken the sightlines are.
This barely scratches the surface of the problems the game has, but honestly, I did enjoy this game. The few moments it has where everything works is an amazing experience and I am extremely disappointed that this game wasn't delayed further. Steel Wool obviously didn't want to delay the game any more than they already had, and because it was the holiday season they felt they had no choice but to release it just a few months before it felt complete.
I would recommend this game for Five Nights at Freddy's fans that will play anything FNAF related and that's about it.
Let me reiterate, I understand this game was pushed out too early. I understand Sony forced Steel Wool to release the game, and I understand that Steel Wool is a very small company, and they did an incredible job with what they had, but it doesn't matter how much heart and soul is poured into a game, it doesn't matter the circumstances, the bottom line is if the game is fun to play or not, and while I enjoyed this game very much, It's likely because I'm a huge FNAF fan, and I imagine if I wasn't such a big FNAF fan I wouldn't have enjoyed this game nearly as much.
The game is simply not finished. They needed more time.

[This may contain light spoilers about gameplay mechanics, but will not discuss the lore of the game, except for when I discuss 6AM mode, at the bottom of the cons list.]

[PROS IN COMMENTS!- Yes, I do enjoy a lot about this game!)


>UNFINISHED

----> I paid $40 for this game, and it isn't finished. It's clear that this game had not even been quality-tested before its release.
----> The game is 80GB but for no reason. Arbitrary, meaningless assets are fully-detailed (textures on walls/floors/random junk to fill up a room, etc.). Assets that are actually important gameplay-wise are not detailed enough (s.t.a.f.f. robots moving at a lower frame rate than everything else.) Often, I go into the atrium and stare into a black void for a couple seconds before the room renders in.
----> It is very laggy and buggy. Most noticeably in spaces with too many assets (a crowded room, or a battle with several animatronics active.) This not only makes for an unenjoyable experience, but feels frustrating and unfair when you die to an animatronic due to lagging. (I played on the lowest visual setting, on a gaming computer.)



>QUALITY-OF-LIFE
----> This game does not properly use autosaves. There are a plethora of manual save stations throughout the game, but some would be unnecessary if there were appropriate autosaves. It's expected that, when you get to an important part in the game, that it would autosave. (Say, before a boss fight. But The game relies on the player manually saving beforehand.) This game does have some autosaves, but they are random and, in my opinion, misused.
----> On a related note, autosaves should be able to start the player off after a line of unskippable dialogue or cutscene. (i.e. the Lost and Found office, Monty Fight, 6AM reload). These are areas where players might die often (I did), and having to sit through the dialogue every time is- frankly- annoying.
----> Freddy's battery (without upgrades) is unreliably short. He might be on 3 bars for 30sec, and then 2 bars for half a second before immediately dropping to 1.
---->This game should be linear, not choose-your-own. If you go to Monty Golf before Fazer Blast (how I played) the game is basically on hard mode. There's no reason for this. The game is already free-roam, which is fun. Making it non-linear does nothing but make it confusing, and harder than it needs to be.

>MISSIONS
----> These need to be more reliable. The player cannot rely on key information about major events given solely by Freddy one time, and not repeated or reiterated elsewhere. No chat log, anything. (i.e, getting into Roxy Raceway by climbing stacked boxes). I have seen so many people confused on where to go, and how to get to places, because the information they needed came from Freddy and no where else.
----> The Missions log is not intuitive, and very confusing. They need to be more-detailed, and actually lead the player where they need to go.


>KEY ITEMS
----> These need to be more noticeable. And the player needs to be led to them. It is so, so easy to overlook key items in this game. (i.e. Dance Pass in Roxy Raceway.) This causes backtracking and frustration.
----> Important key items should not be in gift boxes; they need to be in something completely unique to them. Otherwise, it is easy to overlook them as some random collectible (that not everyone cares about)- and that's if you even find them in the first place.


>INVENTORY
----> Personally, I think the inventory should be a tab on the TAB menu screen, not the ESC menu screen. The ESC menu screen is expected to be non-in-game options (Settings, Audio, Visual, Control, Exit Game, etc.) The TAB menu is for in-game items, so the inventory should be there.
----> Inventory items need descriptions. It is very confusing to pick up something labeled 'Freddy Upgrade,' and have no idea what it does.This could easily be solved by a description for each item on the Inventory screen. Both key items and lore items. Lore item descriptions would be a lot of fun and add more flavor to the game, and key item descriptions are just kinda necessary.

>MAP
---->The map is not useful. Nothing is labeled, And the way it is laid out is not intuitive. Even if areas were only labeled after you visited them, that would be okay. They aren't labeled at all, and it is confusing.
---->Freddy will say "I've marked it on your map," but he hasn't. The only things ever marked on your map are the recharge stations (not all of them, even), and Freddy's location (which, to be honest, doesn't even matter because he can teleport to your location so long as you're in an area that can summon him. The map key has icons that literally are never, ever used.

>MAZERCISE
---->Mazercise is very difficult and very confusing. I'll run out of characters if I talk about all of its flaws. It's broken.


>6AM MODE
----> Overly punishing. It isn't challenging, it's just unfair and frustrating. Especially when the game has so many rando-deaths. (Freddy killing you if you mess up in Parts and Service, seemingly absolutely random Endoskeletons in Bonnie Bowling) At this point, there is still a(at least) 1 major boss battle, and multiple areas that still need to be explored by the player. It is not fun to explore and make progress when you know a single death takes it all away.
----> This is a free-roam, lore-based game. If you are going to have collectibles, people are going to want to collect all of them! Especially the Retro disks, which are only available late-game. Again, it is not fun to go around collecting everything, and then lose it when you die.
----> I can only imagine there is a final boss fight with Vanny, and I cannot imagine going through everything just to die there, and have to restart, finish the last boss, and get to that point all over again. I have gotten as far as all of the upgrades, only to die to really inconsequential things, and it's just frustrating, and does not incite the player to want to keep trying.
----> if you want to up the difficulty, consider only having a few save stations active, instead of doing away with every single one. The general consensus, I've noticed, about 6AM mode is that it's unfulfilling, frustrating, and unfair. The game is inherently punishing the players that care enough to want to stay and figure out all the lore. (myself included.)
----> It bears repeating that I paid $40 for this game, and the "True Ending" is kept behind a difficulty wall. That is not only unfair, but insulting.

---

I would not be so harsh if this wasn't FNAF. At the end of the day, despite whether the studio has made a game like this before or not, I don't care. FNAF is a million-dollar IP, and the makers of this game knew it would sell. I'm not going to go light on a studio that released an unfinished game and lined their pockets with it. The marketing for this game really sold it as this polished, put-together experience when it wasn't, and that's grossly irresponsible. I am upset to have paid $40 for a game worth a lot less in its current state. And the difficulty of 6AM mode is like a slap-in-the-face. You can't even enjoy the entire experience, and the base game has no replayability. This game reeks of 'release it now, patch it later,' which is such a disgusting sales model that I have never and will never respect.

Five Frames At Freddy's

People need to be honest about these kinds of games especially when they cost this much money. People are giving this game really great reviews and completely ignoring all of the HYPER GLARING FLAWS that the game has. Some of the game mechanics are so absolutely frustrating that you're going to stop playing or throw something. Check the forums if you don't believe me on what's going on in the game. The forums speak to the issues at a much better level than I can in this review but I'll get into it.

Security Breach is a BEAUTIFUL and well laid out game. The environments are honestly top notch and you really get a sense of wonder as you walk through the halls and the different exhibits that the game has to offer. The voice overs are really well done and the characters feel real enough. It feels like an amusement park that could really exist. They clearly put a lot of thought into the environments and locations that you are going to visit. This part of the game is top notch and it's refreshing to play a horror game that puts so much time into custom assets and designs.

The story pacing is great as well. The atmosphere and setting that they have created is great. You never feel very safe and are forced to keep moving most of the time and as though you can't sit still in any one area too long. This is helped by the CONSTANTLY patrolling enemies in EVERY SINGLE CORNER OF THE GAME. I am really not exaggerating here. Every area of the game you will be hunted and chased by these animatronic killers and patrol bots. There is almost never a room in the entire game so far that you can just take everything in because you will be caught. Is it a good thing? I don't think so. The game starts to fall apart for me here because you never get to come down from the fear of the bots. Well made horror games will give you a chase and then a period of time where nothing really happens so that you can let your guard down and the next chase is that much more impactful. Not so here. You will be chased and killed in every section of the game. Because they do this, you stop being afraid of robots about 30 minutes into the game. Every section is "Oh right, the wolf is back. Oh and the alligator... and the bird. Okay so they are just here all the time great." It just stops being tension building and leads to you being so oversaturated with them that they are just an annoying obstacle instead of something that should be scary. I will say that the one exception to this is the Moon. The moon can go straight to heck but that's because the day care section is one of the least well thought out designs ever. Let's get into the mechanics.

What really REALLY brings this game down is the constantly frustrating game mechanics and mission designs. First off you have the absolutely laughable AI that runs the bots. Put a chair or a single flower vase in between you and the robots? You may as well not exist. Many times you can just stand in front of them in the open and they won't see you. It's really a joke. There is a section of the game where you need to balance power on two doors to keep out the enemies and after dying to this section 4 or 5 times (even after beating it but being unable to save, which is another problem entirely) I just sat in between two desk chairs and the AI couldn't see me even though they were looking right at me. Enemies will routinely teleport right to you when you are trying to get through different areas and you should expect to die OFTEN. Let me say that again. YOU ARE GOING TO DIE A GREAT DEAL. It wouldn't be quite such a chore but many sections of the game DO NOT LET YOU SAVE after completing a very challenging area so you are forced to do tedious sections of the game again and again. Again. And Again. And again. For some god awful reasons the developers have chosen to not use auto saves after challenging sections instead opting for a save system similar to Alien Isolation where saving is infrequent and takes 2 - 3 seconds for the save to go through. The difference is that Alien Isolation AI wasn't janky and the game balanced challenge with the ability to take a breath and save your game.

let's talk about a particularly poor designed section of the game. The day care. You have to start up 5 generators in a playground maze. The issues are numerous. First off the generators are absolutely invisible when the lights go out and you start the mission so finding them is an almost non-option. If you read the forums they pretty much all suggest the same thing. You have to basically MEMORIZE the location of the gens when the lights are on and plan your route through the entire area in order to do it when the lights go out. This is not good game design! You shouldn't have to basically memorize an entire layout of a section of game because it's impossible to do when the lights go out. Not to mention the AI in this room will just RANDOMLY teleport behind / near you so it's impossible to figure out where he is or where you will be safe. I've seen him do it numerous times and it's trash. Having to memorize your route removes all the fear of the entire section because you either do the gens or you die. The section where you have to manage your battery power on the doors later on made me so frustrated that I threw my headset onto my desk and had to stop playing for a bit. The AI will routinely bug out at your doors and not move or follow their routes so you will automatically fail when the battery power goes out.

Let's talk about saves and your mission objectives. First off when you get a new mission it's usually fairly unclear where that objective needs to be done or what you may need to do there. Objects that you need to collect as mandatory for the game progression are the same design as optional collectibles and upgrades so you can't tell what is important and what is not, so I hope you enjoy scouring everywhere for all of the easter eggs because you may not know what is important and what is not. Saves are infrequently placed and you are going to often get through a tough section or a chase (which is basically the whole game) and you'll die and have to do the entire thing again. Get used to doing things QUITE a few times. Again, if you don't believe me go check the forums on how people feel about the save system.

That's not even getting into why this game runs like ♥♥♥♥ often times and constantly drops frames and lags. I have a 5900x, 3080 and 32 gigs of ram and this game STILL cannot run nicely. If you have less specs than this, well good luck.

I think it's great that fans of the FNAF series are getting another game but holy christ this game is full of bugs and was not ready for a release. That's not even going into the number of people's games who are soft locking and hard locking and causing them to have to start all over. Seriously, this game is a frustrating mess. If you really love the franchise I am sure you will find a way to get through it but my strong suggestion is that you wait for them to make a patch that fixes the majority of these issues.

tl;dr - Game is a buggy mess and I strongly recommend you view the forums to get a good idea of what you are going to deal with while playing this game. Fanboys are just reviewing the game positively here and not discussing the huge number of issues.

I decided to my video for the first hour and a half or so so you can see for yourself. I will play through the rest of it on the channel if you care. If not, buy it and play it yourself:
https://youtu.be/76wJFKVA99I

EDIT FOR THE PEOPLE JUST COMING IN, 12/27: I decided to add a few things now that I am at the 5:15AM part of the game.

First off quite a few people in the comments are saying that the animatronics aren't teleporting around, well here's your proof that they definitely do, especially in the daycare:
https://youtu.be/76wJFKVA99I?t=4601

Next, after about 10 hours in the game I completely BRICKED my save. Couldn't progress at all.

I grieve for what this game could have been had it been released as a complete, fully packaged game. I'll keep this as simple as possible. This'll be going over (mostly) bugs, but things that I liked too.

NOTE: Spoilers ahead.

Visuals:

• The lighting is incredible.
  
• Environmentally, the setup of the pizzaplex is memorable; it stands out.
  
• Models are great, in terms of animatronics/staff bots! However, both Vanessa and Gregory have... Dead, lifeless eyes. Vanessa doesn't emote much facially, though her animations are fluid and look great, there's no life nor definition to her face- it looks very... Flat.
  
• There are so many broken textures and even builds. For example, the flooring in the elevator has a weird stretch(?) to it and the walls/ceiling don't match up. (a little nit-picky, I know, but remember that this was a $40 game.)

Gameplay:

• Fun, though with the sheer amount of content cuts, it's really only enjoyable if you like fetch quests and getting lost somewhere along the way.
  
• Bugs. Bugs, bugs, bugs. The elevator feels like a practice in experiencing fear by itself. That feeling of impending doom that existed in FNAF 1 where you were sitting in the office, in the dark, waiting on Freddy to stop his little death song to kill you? That. Kinda nostalgic, even. Freddy can blow the games back out at any point, Monty can create hordes of himself to ensure that there would be nothing more to Gregory but a name on the missing children section of a newspaper, Roxy won't leave me alone and at this point I'm too afraid to ask why, and Chica often dissociates by her lonesome in the kitchen, unmoving.
  
• The SHEER amount of STAFF BOTS IN ANY GIVEN AREA IS ABSURD. I've been throttled more by the employee's at Freddy's Mega Pizzaplex more than the animatronics themselves.
  
• There's no real fear factor. There's jumpscares and near misses made by the animatronics, but once you realize that elevated surfaces are safe zones, those pesky animatronics will never be an issue ever again.
  
• The simple fact that you can complete this game in under 5 minutes.

Audio:

• Spectacular! The ambiance and music design for this game is incredible and I really enjoyed the atmosphere it created.
  
• ... However, there would be times that the audio would bug and overlap itself, such as the music in the atrium. It would overlap so many times that at some point, it just sounded like white noise.

Story:

• By far the most disappointing part of Security Breach thus far. If you wanted to play for the story, don't. Just wait until the game is actually updated and they (hopefully) fix it.
  
• It's not explored why Freddy suddenly had a physical and mental shutdown on stage after seeing a child in a sea of children while performing.
  
• The endings themselves are so short and don't feel... Finished, in some cases.
  
• The whole thing with Vanny isn't fully explored- she isn't really even a big part of the game at all. Yes, I played Princess Quest. She shows up once in the beginning, is a bit of a pest not too long after her initial introduction, then BAM, you don't see her anymore. Vanessa pops in twice to give the verbal equivalent of a thump on the nose to Freddy and disappears yet again into the nether.
  
• Bonnie. We get one little note for whatever happened to Bonnie and nothing else- no other hints, nothing.
  
• There's not but two times that missing children are mentioned- they're hardly made into a huge concern. I'll tie this back in when I talk about one of the endings.
  
• Gregory wants to escape the Pizzaplex. But he's also scared of Vanessa. Vanessa voices she has beef with a child, Gregory. This is never looked at again. Suddenly, Gregory is then taken over by the unquenchable thirst of blood and decommissions the other animatronics to take their parts... To go see Peepaw? Mind you, this is an opportunity after 6AM, but there's so little information given TO Gregory for there to be any real... Need, to do that?? No, I won't take "he's just a dumb kid" as an excuse, either; Gregory had one goal in mind and that was to leave, how in the world is this kid going to go into an elevator, be told it can only go down once because it's busted, and think "sure, being stuck at the bottom of wherever this takes me will surely help me achieve my goal."
  
• Speaking of after 6AM, this is one of the first times missing children are mentioned. Gregory says something along the lines of "What about the missing children?" which, given the lack of voice lines and bits of story we're given, it wouldn't leave me to assume that Gregory just knew about them, and if he did, would he know they were directly connected to the pizzaplex?
  
• This leads me to one of the endings, where Freddy burns down the whole pizzaplex. This doesn't only downplay all the concern Freddy had for his friends at some point, it also just... Doesn't make sense with both YOU and FREDDY knowing SO LITTLE about missing children or what's been happening.
  
• The William Afton ending feels so empty. So, what, we come down to Peepaw Town, see a LIVING, BREATHING MASS OF ANIMATRONICS and Freddy's singular line of "They aren't happy", then we're just thrust into Grandpa Beatdown mode?? There's no explanation, no real reason for Gregory to be down here- there's not even, at the very bare minimum, some evil monologue given by Peepaw himself as he's trying to take over Freddy. He wakes up with geriatric ire and just starts swinging. We "deal" with Chica, Roxy and Monty during the boss fight, though it's so bugged that it made it more of a wild goose chase to stop Freddy from being hacked while also being terrorized by Roxy the entire time. What about the angry, living and breathing MASS of animatronics? I personally would have loved if they played a bigger part- maybe even just telling Gregory why they're there, why Peepaw needs to die- RAISE THE STAKES. Speaking of endings being too short, after you hurt Peepaw's feelings with a bit of fire-therapy, SUDDENLY the Mass is a concern again but ONLY to attack and, what I can only assume, kill Peepaw. Mind you, Peepaw has not said a word during any of this. It then cuts to Gregory and Freddy running away as everything starts to catch fire- this isn't what catches the entire Pizzaplex on fire- Freddy does that, in a separate ending, just because.
  
• The CD's about Vanessa leave... Much to be desired. Vanessa isn't given a chance to actually speak with her therapists(?) if they can be called that. It gave little information to the story aside from "Vanessa gets gaslit by her therapists, Episode 1 of 16".
  
• In the Vanny Ending, you're suddenly thrust into a cutscene where both Gregory and Freddy are in Fazer Blast standing on one of the ramps, STAFF bots on either side. Vanny hits a button and tells the STAFF bots to disassemble Freddy. Gregory is then tasked to run past Vanny, the other animatronics, and the STAFF Bots to hit a button and tell the bots to disassemble Vanny. You get a comic of exactly that happening, Freddy passes away, and the Pizzaplex is closed due to health concerns (though it'll open next season!!!), the end. I just want to understand why we were suddenly thrown into a cutscene where the stakes are already so high (for what reason?? She had that ability this whole time???), because there's just no initial build up to this moment. There's no prior knowledge Gregory had to prepare us.

TLDR; This game is unfinished, buggy, and lacks HUGE parts of its own story. Save your $40 and 80GB until there's an update.
