Softonic review

Horror themed video game

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location is an eerie video game that takes place in an underground facility: Circus Baby’s Entertainment and Rental. The title is cross platform and available on AppleiOS, Android, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, and Xbox One devices. This point and click survival game is designed and developed by Scott Cawthon.

What is the story of FNAF: Sister Location?

Released in October 2016, Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location is the successor to the four games that came before, with the first game having had had a release date in 2014. The prior games were given basic titles: Five Nights at Freddy’s 1, 2, 3, and 4; FNAF: Sister Location is the first to have a subtitle.

The prior four games were based on a stationary gameplay – whereas within this fifth edition, gamers move from room to room and essentially obey the narrator, HandUnit; people that play the game are tasked with being a late-night technician for the establishment. A directive voice will guide the players through the game to knock out a series of tasks.

The commands that are given are corrupt; the game begins in a shady elevator with HandUnit giving a review to the gamer on their role as a technician in the facility. The first untrustworthy order has the community members input their names into the system while in the elevator; from there, the malevolent nature of the game advances as the players are asked to do questionable actions.

How many nights are in Sister Location?

The FNAF: Sister Location gameplay spans over a five-night period in which the technician is exposed to the different cramped spaces, active machinery, and large animatronic characters: Ballora, BidyBab, Bon Bon, Circus Baby, Funtime Foxy, Funtime Freddy, Minireena, Springtrap, etc. The gamers are able to move around, although to do that they need to follow directions – as this is a job opportunity that they are embarking on as technicians.

There is a large list of duties to handle; within every room that is entered there are either flickering or no lights. Still, the main aspect that the player handles is the interactivity with the gang of antagonists. These evil entertainers are rented for children parties at arcades, pizza places, etc.; this rental hole was created in response to the closure of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza.

The venue wears the cloak as a family fun place, although be aware that this is a fantasy; violence and death towards the kids and anyone that gets in the way are the goals of the animatronic machines. As the technician, the FNAF community members experience the surprising terrors inside the control rooms, vents, etc.

The disturbing gameplay

Upon meeting HandUnit in the elevator, the community members disembark on an expedition through the convoluted site and meet menaces while being responsible for sprucing up the establishment: turning on the machines, resetting circuit breakers, etc. The technicians need to listen to and obey the narrator to move forward in the game, while simultaneously guarding their lives.

As the game continues through the nights, the assignments become more terrifying. Minigames are sprinkled into the main gameplay and offer insight into the twisted lore of the series. While the technicians do get to go home on certain nights, there are other periods that are not as fortunate.

The gamers are subject to being kidnapped and tortured by the vicious characters in FNAF: the Scooper that is responsible for the dismemberment of humans and the animatronics. If players survive the Scooper, then they will face the wrath of the compilation of all the creatures combining themselves into one villain: Ennard.

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location is comprised of tension-filled moments fending off the amalgamation of the malicious machines to keep his life. Although the game begins considerably slow with the mundane tasks of entering names and turning on lights – do not get too comfortable, because the game escalates to moments in which energy supplies can be depleted and ultimately lives can be ended.

The wicked lore

The series of the Five Nights at Freddy’s titles that have been the predecessors of this fifth edition lay the foundation for this game’s story. Fans of FNAF often ask questions: ‘Is Five Nights at Freddy’s Sister Location real?’ ‘Where is FNAF in real life?’. They want to know about the creepy characters: ‘Who is the purple guy?’ ‘What is Ballora’s backstory?’.

The ratings deem the gameplay as difficult. This may be due to having to keep track of the scary storyline while simultaneously holding back the mischievous characters that want Afton’s body for them to escape the rental location and wreak havoc on society. Nevertheless, the fandom games’ popularities are still apparent.

Alternative sinister survival video games

Bendy and the Ink Machine and Slender Man are alternate options to Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location – along with the other FNAF game titles. All of the aforementioned titles include intimidating images, and they are all available on Steam to download and purchase.

The games have considerably cutting-edge graphics and intense gameplay genres: action. People that enjoy these terrifying titles can enjoy completing one of them and moving on to the other.

Horrifying game catering to fans

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location continues the shocking storyline from the Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza catering parlor to the underground realm of Circus Baby’s Entertainment and Rental where they are hiring a night repair technician. Relentless beasts are stationed there after having been transferred from Circus Baby’s Pizza World – which had been shut down due to a supposed gas leak.

The action adventure game has the technician account for a series of tasks in an underground nightmare. Players need to use their intuition to not be led astray by villainous creatures that target children, adults, and each other.
