Rather than leaning on the uncanny mix of their plush cartoonish appearance intersecting oddly with the mechanical insides, the animatronics have leaned directly into typical horror tropes with multiple rows of razor sharp teeth, glowing eyes, and multiple patches of felt torn out of their bodies to make them almost zombie-like. As the boy stays up late in fear of being caught by the animatronics, he finds that the original set of four characters have been warped into new nightmare forms. The unsettling appearances of the unintentionally disturbing restaurant mascots is finally at the root of traumatizing a child rather than being twisted into making these robots legitimately dangerous to a night watchman, but like many things when you’re young, the imagined version is much worse than the reality. However, for the fourth installment, the game that was originally planned to end the series, we find ourselves not in the problem-filled pizzerias but instead the bedroom of a little boy who has no cameras, no mask to hide his identity with, or any sort of technology to assist him save a little flashlight.įive Nights at Freddy’s 4 is a prequel game focusing on a young child who is being plagued by nightmares of the animatronics found at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. After three installments in the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise, it seemed like the games were all going to be built from the same formula of sitting in a security office and looking at monitors to help avoid being killed by roaming animatronics.
