### 5/5 — Love this game

*2026-06-20, version 8.6*

This game is fun although I saw that it said it had no ads and then I got one but its fine because it was super short!

### 2/5 — I like big black men

*2026-03-01, version 8.6*

This was not scary at all,it didn’t make me shiver in my timbers

### 4/5 — Oke🤙

*2025-07-02, version 8.6*

Muy bueno, era facil, bueno mejor asi, de lo contrario ni lo acabo.

Una cosa a mejorar, solo una: el susto que te pega, no asusta ni a un mosquito, tiene que ser mas intenso como los sustos de FNAF 4 (Personaje Nightmare)

P.D. Cuando acabas todas las noches, donde esta el maravilloso premio despues de aguantar todas las noches🤔.

### 2/5 — Caca

*2025-06-15, version 8.6*

Five nights at Freddy’s mal hecho

### 1/5 — Helen Keller experience

*2025-06-11, version 8.6*

As soon as flashlight dies I can’t see anything, pointless game the monster looks like a mëth addict and doesn’t even come out  and when it does he is just so ugly. Also why does he come out of the closet like ??!? One star not recommended

### 5/5 — Update

*2025-06-11, version 8.6*

It was a very good game, like 3 years ago or a little less, I played it and I had the streak of the night 127 I think, for me I say that the game has potential and I would like the monster or in this case the penguin to appear in more places and the battery to last a little longer and there could be many more things about this horror game that would be good to implement.

### 5/5 — Question

*2025-04-25, version 8.6*

Was this inspired by Five Nights at Freddy’s

### 5/5 — Nice game

### 5/5 — 🎮🤌

*2024-06-30, version 8.6*

### 4/5 — Honnetement 🧍🤌

*2024-06-30, version 8.6*

Le jeu est vraiment bien, c'est juste un peu dommage qu'il n'y ai pas plus de nuit...
