I liked Fab Freddy's better when it was called Double Switch. No, wait, it was shit even then.

Needs more Dana Plato.

this guy needs to not record himself

I'm actually thinking about downloading it for my phone, as 3 bucks is a pretty good deal for what looks like a well-made spooky game (and the kind of game I'd like to sit and play on the bus or the toilet or something) so the complaints about additional content that costs money mean nothing to me: I mean, Tapped Out was free but I definitely gave EA at least 3 of my head-earned dollars for donuts, and I'd rather give it to an indie developer with a cool idea.

My daughter has been playing this game on her phone non-stop but every time I ask how it's played I get a description that makes me wonder where the fun in the game is.

I'm so glad Five Nights At Freddy's is finally a linked tag. It's the Platonic ideal of what video game horror should be. Yes, the jump scares are way too Youtube-friendly, but so what? The game itself is almost perfectly designed and avoids virtually all of the tropes video game horror usually succumbs to.

You're not a space marine or haunted novelist, you're a sub-minimum wage security guard at a shitty Chuck-E-Cheese knockoff. You have no weapons, Quick Time Events, or sassy female sidekicks. There's no cutscenes because none are necessary; the spooky story is told entirely through the characters' actions (Foxy is, hands down, the creepiest; he or she hides from the cameras, sprints down the hallway when you're not looking, and pounds on the door. Like, say, a crying child trying to escape a murderer.)

It's just pure gameplay. Over long, uncomfortable periods of silence, you manage a single resource--energy--various ways, and as hard as you try to be a neutral, objective scientician about it, sooner or later anxiety takes over and you start checking the camera just to see you're safe and then SHRIEKING HAUNTED ROBOT HIPPO RABBIT UP IN VARIOUS GRILLS

Yes, Youtube megastars love to overact and self-consciously scream JESUS FUCK for 18 minutes even though they've played this level 85 times. Don't let them dissuade you from playing this game. It's so much fun, especially with friends.

From the Wikipedia article the gameplay sounds like a reverse Hunt the Wumpus.

This game is good for 5 minutes of cheap scares and that's it. There are non intuitive gameplay rules you'll never guess, and the only way to win is to never bother with the cameras and just keep spamming the lights and doors in a set pattern. It is literally impossible to beat the last levels any other way
