Steam reviews

What players say

Most players recommend this mascot horror entry for its tense Mimic stealth and its smaller, better-paced design, though many cite bugs, repetitive segments and a short runtime.

Many players say this is a clear step up from Security Breach: the map is smaller, sections unlock one at a time, and the Mimic creates steady tension during hide-and-seek sequences. Reviewers also praise the story and lore, the atmosphere, the sound design and the chase scenes. Complaints centre on bugs, crashes and softlocks that sometimes force a restart, and on stealth sections that repeat. Some players find the game short for its price and say it lacks the classic FNAF feel. Reviews from the last year are more mixed than Steam's totals, with several calling the story weak, the endings repetitive and the VR version poor, and a few urging others to wait for a sale. Players with long playtimes mostly describe replaying for endings and collectibles, where the repetition becomes a problem.

Praised

  • Tense Mimic stealth

    Players say the Mimic, which hunts by sight and sound, makes hiding and sneaking tense and surprisingly smart.

    Many players
  • Story and lore

    Reviewers praise the contained story about Edwin and the Mimic, and say it ties together older FNAF lore.

    Many players
  • Smaller, better-paced design

    Players like that sections unlock one by one, which feels more polished and less empty than Security Breach's open world.

    Many players
  • Atmosphere and sound

    Reviewers praise the visuals, the mascot-museum setting, the soundtrack and the eerie sound design.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Bugs and softlocks

    Players report crashes, softlocks and game-breaking bugs that sometimes force them to restart.

    Many players
  • Repetitive segments

    Players find the hide-and-seek, chase and objective loop repetitive and predictable, especially in the later game.

    Many players
  • Short length for the price

    Reviewers feel the game is too short for its full price, and suggest waiting for a sale.

    Some players
  • Weak VR version

    Players with VR headsets report poor movement, blurry visuals, missing options and a version that barely works.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy tense stealth, mascot horror and FNAF lore, and who want a more focused entry after Security Breach, are likely to enjoy it.
Who should skip it
Players who want a long game, a classic FNAF feel or a smooth VR experience should skip it or wait for a sale.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with long playtimes mostly replay for endings and collectibles, where repetition and the reset after endings become a problem, while newer players focus on the story and tension.
