I keep my eyes on the dolls, especially Mr. Tatters the clown. I do the same thing every single time, but sometimes I am caught, other times I’m not. Other than that, really fun Also, I would like an online version to help survive. When you have buddies, it may be easier to survive. ALSO, SERIOUSLY BIG PART! At 4:am, you just have to run into Emily and keep doing it. Just find her, and run into her. Thanks! Have a great day/night! ### 2/5 — Not fun *2026-07-04, version 1.1* Game not fun, why are we a pizza guy? ### 3/5 — It’s OK *2026-06-25, version 1.1* The graphics look jailbroken, but it did scare me and my daughter ### 4/5 — Wow *2026-06-02, version 1.1* This game is good the only thing g is when the lights turn out in the beginning with the black fill you can’t find the light switch because it’s too dark 🫢🌚 ### 4/5 — Pretty great! But… *2026-05-14, version 1.1* Ok I love this… but… I usually get scared out of my mind and even scream. Like, at the top of my lungs. So, I mean, that's not a bad thing, because that’s kinda the whole point, but… just saying. Ok, so this game is straight up terrifying. I pretty much just camp out in the corner. Rarely do I get up and ACTUALLY move around. But I have been jump scared, like, a thousand times. So ummmm, ya. Imma get to the point. There’s a small issue. When the door closest to the entrance opens, and I go into the room, I immediately get caught. I go into the bedroom, and I just get caught. And then when I continue, I try to go to the kitchen, but the door doesn’t open. So then, I pretty much have no choice but to go into the hallway, which leads to the bedroom, which leads to death. So yeah. Those are the only things. And the dolls pretty much just stop you, like the entire time. They’re constantly right behind you, or in front of you. And at some point, you are going to get caught. You just are. And I don’t really survive for long. I don't know how others are on the last hour. Like, huh? I mean, I find the game pretty fun, but difficult. I would also like to have only a like, 1 or 2 dolls. I mean, I can barely handle one. And I pretty much can’t handle 2. So just wanted to let you know. Also, I would like an online version to help survive. When you have buddies, it may be easier to survive. ALSO, SERIOUSLY BIG PART! I AM AT 4:00 O'CLOCK, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AFTER THE TIMER WHEN EMILY COMES! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WHILE THE TIMER IS GOING! PLEASE HELP ME! Thanks! Have a great day/night! ### 4/5 — Nostalgia *2026-02-11, version 1.1* I’ve been playing this game in 2019, and I think it’s a very nostalgic scary game. ### 3/5 — Love this game but 5am is practically impossible to beat *2026-02-08, version 1.1* I liked how the difficultly increased each level adding more dolls. The hidden basement was fun to find. When 5am comes around with all 3 dolls, you have to find Emily, your on a timer, it’s impossible to get past this, makes it’s not fun to continue when you can’t win, there are also glitches were Chester will keep following me even when I’ve made it to another room ### 3/5 — This game is ok. *2026-02-01, version 1.1* I've watched many others play this game and I wanted to try it out for myself. I play on mobile and sometimes it's difficult to open up the doors because u have to tap in a specific spot which annoyed me a lot. Especially when Chester is coming and I can't make it into another room in time because of it. But overall, this game is fun and very scary. ### 4/5 — Very much for me *2026-01-31, version 1.1* I played it with my brother and it was so good and I love it it's so fun!!! ### 4/5 — Nice game.. But *2025-12-23, version 1.1* I love it but how do u fined her meds ### 5/5 — Majestical😳 *2025-12-14, version 1.1* This game is so majestical it’s just so good. I will admit. I did almost pee my pants few times and screech like a small child but that means it’s amazing. I love this game. I’m so close to finishing it. I just have one last hour and I haven’t done it yet. Good luck to the people who did get it. It’s a wonderful game bye-bye lovelies🥰 ### 5/5 — Difficult but fun! *2025-12-14, version 1.1* It’s a difficult pattern horror game, where you have to watch what you do when you’re near a certain toy, it’s gets more difficult with every night and is very fun!! If you like a challenging game, this is for you! ### 2/5 — Totally boring *2025-12-10, version 1.1* For the first night and then the second night it just just repeats over and over. It’s like no fun no seriously no fun and they have an amazing job but it’s no fun. ### 5/5 — 😳 *2025-12-06, version 1.1* Pretty fun and scary and mysterious ### 5/5 — How i play *2025-11-16, version 1.1* Hours 1 and hours 2 is too easy you to stay in a Connor the whole time and be still and wait. Hours 3 is easy but you use go to hallway it by 4 door these doors is close to you. When Coryxkenshin played this it was hard for him. I find a easy way. ### 5/5 — I love it *2025-11-10, version 1.1* amazing game. i got this from my favorite channel from looking at old videos and it was kinda scary but cool.
