dualbooting takes space, and macbook airs have very small hard drives. i think i have like 20gb free, i should prob invest in an external hard drive but i cba.

Oh jees. I didn't know you had an air. Ha. Yeah, buy an external SSD. They're worth it. We shouldn't clog up this thread though.

Glad you liked it! Though, I think there's like 3 more sequels that got released since then.

Really, anyone should give it a shot one way or another.

My first times playing this, I always shitted my pants. Then, when I played over and over again trying to beat Night 5 (when I got to it), the game just wasn't scary anymore. So, I got bored, deleted it and quit playing it ever since.

What is it?

Five Nights at Freddy's is an independent horror game by animdude, released on July 24th, 2014. The gameplay is relatively unique in that rather than exploration or fighting, the player is tasked with utilizing security cameras to monitor relatively harmless (or so they're told) animatronics that seem to malfunction at night - there is no other way to protect themselves other than blocking the doors electronically while their power - and lifeline - slowly drains away.

What is it about?

The player walks in the shoes of a security guard starting his new job as the night shift at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, a local family pizzeria. The job is simple - watch over the animatronics during the night time to ensure that nothing is damaged in the restaurant - including yourself, as the player is to learn. Unbeknownst to the new security guard, these robots tend to malfunction at night and start to wander the premises, looking for new employees to "help" into costume - that is, forcefully and brutally stuffing their bodies into machine animatronics until nothing but their eyes and teeth pop out of the mask.

The only means of protecting yourself is to monitor these machines as they walk about the restaurant, checking the hallways periodically, and shutting the automated doors when they get a bit too close for comfort. Beware though: due to the budget costs of the restaurant, you're only given a certain amount of power throughout the night, and you must efficiently utilize the lights, cameras and doors to ensure your own safety. Be careful, because as the nights go on deeper into the week, the animatronics tend to become more active, unpredictable, and deadly...

Final notes

It doesn't have the most gracious graphics nor most horrifying scares, but it really breathes a new type of gameplay into the horror genre. Don't think it won't get to you though - paranoia and anticipation are the key factors of the fear in this game, and it engrosses you pretty darn deep. If you're looking for something alternative to play after all the first-person horror games, give this game a try.

great game, but repetitive after a while
