i like how nearly all of the soundtracks are quiet and almost unnoticeable in the actual game then you got old dog new tricks sounding like you bouta beat every demon into the ground
One interesting note that makes "old dog, new tricks" stand out for me is whilst the music has this dreadful atmosphere, the ticking clock that usually plays near the end is NOT present unlike the other shift ost. Kinda devastating since it cements the fact Rodriguez was never going to survive either way.
i know the drama definitely is the reason the story feels so rushed but MAN is the atmosphere in this game awesome. one of the best in a fan game by far
In a vacuum, "Old dog, new tricks" just sounds so unnerving. Like enough to make one's skin crawl. But within the game itself? It's a weird case. Like both a final, last ditch desperate attempt to survive but also a victory lap at the same time. Truly, it do be a banger.
This soundtrack and whole game, its sounds and plays (or played, because now you can't find game legally) like a that type of nightmare, than you sicked in far 2014, you can't go in school and for fun you watched on night first time FNAF 1 walkthrough from [place_popular_in_2014_youtuber_nickname], you was scared by Freddy or other animatronic, or by whole game, you went a sleep, and you see a dream, where you come for your pc and see icon of FNAF 1 on your deskpot. Of course, as you remember, you didn't buy a game, so you happy, because "WOW I HAVE FREE FNAF 1 APYEEEE". After opening file you see some strange things: freddy is not in menu, music removed from menu too, name of the game "floating" on the screen, and buttons somehow is strange. After pressing "new game", you spawn in office... wait, i remember in steam version i have left and right door, not in middle, and phoneguy don't speak a much, like a "blahblahblah security cameras blahblahblah you can do it, goodbye". You open cameras and see on first-eye its usual animatronics, maybe ugly ah, but still... oh wait, why camera changes after short time? I dont remember kitchen camera is worked before. And why they put camera into my office? Why Bonnie looks so strange after scene? Why Chica running into my office, this is Foxy's work, isn't it? Where Foxy, and why some bat standing on his place, not a fox? Wait, they added a snake in game? Why Freddy called here Freddybear, and why he look's so... demonic? Wait, why all cast looks so demonic? Why music start sounds cursed? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH FREDDY ON THE KITCHEN!? IS HE... TRANSFORMING? WHY HE RUN INTO MY OFFICE? Wait, he gonna BRAKE MY DOOR? WAIT, HE BREAKING THROUGH MY MONITOR INTO MY ROOM!? WHY HE SO BI- and after he jumping on you, you wake up on your bed. Its was just a bad dream? You turning on pc and watch deskpot: You don't have a FNAF 1, it's just was a bad dream, next time don't watch youtube to much on nights. And it's literally discribing a GSAF - nightmare while you ill and have 39.1 ⁰C: Its looks like the same, but is not. By the way, i have near experiense, but not with FNAF, it was in 2015 with Call Of Duty Black Ops 3 in ending of prologue (if you know... you know), i was ill, and after *THAT* scene i went a sleep and have nightmare, where i as security guard sitting on my post on sort of secret base or facility and watched on some experimental robots on this base. Of course after some time they start moving into my post to kill me, and i can't kill them, because i dont have a gun. And after some time of defending one of these came to post and reproduct *THAT* scene from BO3 prologue ending, and damn, after that nightmare i had sort of psycological trauma, what transformed into robofobia, so thanks to the terapist, who helped me with removing robofobia after year of fighting. Oh wait... am i "made" my own fnaf-fangame in my head, where we have robots in usual term, not animatronics (Robots from Security Breach not counted)? Huh, i want play that game IF of course someone gonna make it, i just marked the idea. (And sorry if some words have mistakes, just my england trying best what he got)

reminds me of the cry of fear sound track they both have a sound a like soundtrack well cry of fear has a forest soundtrack that sounds like the first one
What I think I like most about the songs for the nights, in both name and instruments, is that they contain an aspect of what's coming to hunt you tonight. I'm not a music theorist, but I can give my idea of what's going on. "private guitar lessons" appears to contain a bass speaker in the beginning that I think might be old, and it's barely buzzing from the guitar that's just been dropped. "mother hen knows best" contains strange noises that I can only really describe as a "rowling" from within the chicken's throat. "pricked by the berry bush" starts the piano, backed up by an electric/synth guitar - only to be gradually drowned out by heavy drumming. "showdown" makes it sound as if everything is spinning - like a sense of vertigo from hanging upside down, with the clock ticking replaced with a rattling. "old dog, new tricks," for what it's worth (and how everyone describes it), is a song that starts with dread - It's the year of Freeware, and the trial is expiring. Everyone gathers to say "goodbye" - not to you, though - the shift doesn't end at 6. It ends with Dreaddybear.
ldk if there is going to be a sequel with the drama and other factors in-game in would be impossible unless theresnosteak comes back and decides they want to make a sequel and someone wants to make a fangame
I really have a love-hate relationship with this game. Mainly because of the ending. We may not know who Sam really is, but it really is saddening how he fought so hard to survive. To uncover the horrors of freddybears and most likely see his mother again. All that work wasted just to die in the end. I was really hoping he would be able to survive.
well, it wasn't a waste his efforts allowed him to survive until 6, meaning someone nearby was awake to hear him scream, hence they were able to call the police before raglan could clean up freddybear's FINALLY gets investigated, meaning it's thanks to sam that it can be shut down and the missing people can be avenged it's a textbook bittersweet ending
And on grave danger mode's ending The Police finally found the cellar and the multitude of corpses, as well as his fresh one He died, but the secrets of freddybears' were only revealed due to him
I read somewhere in a few comments, that apparently Mrs Rodriguez from the cutscene isn't actually Sams mom but his wife and their son supposedly went missing at freddybear's a while ago. This is the reason Sam stayed all five nights and fought so hard to uncover the truth. Raglan even hinted at this in some of the phone calls. Raglan (Night 1): "...The only reason you got this job was because under your cons you mentioned and I quote ' *You couldn't sleep well at night* ' ..." Raglan (Night 5): "...Why? Why didn't you leave? Was it the money... *Or something else* ." Honestly makes everything even more tragic than it already was.
@blackspy8331 the problem with that is that they all still died and the end of the game really never said what happened to the puppets which clearly arent just puppets so maybe Mr.Raglan got what was coming to him but were they really avenged. Just a thought
Showdown and Old Dog, New Tricks feel the strangest to me in terms of titles. Like Private Guitar Lessons, Mother Hen Knows Best and Pricked by the Berry Bush all make sense (Bonnie's is the most straightforward as he's the guitarist, Chica is a chicken and thus a "mother hen" to Cream, Berry is a bat which do sometimes eat fruit and it's a play on her name). I get that showdowns were the term used for cowboy gunfights it feels like the title is...missing something. Old Dog, New Tricks meanwhile as someone else pointed out feels more suited to Wolfgang than Freddybear, heck I feel like the track could've been either "Time's Up" as it's a recurring phrase in the game and has a double meaning or "As Above, So Below" to play on the demon origins of the puppets and referencing the official art where Freddybear does the pose
I think Old dog is more meta than that. GSAF freddy's mechanics is pretty much one to one with fnaf 1 freddy despite everyone else being remixed in some way. He's an old dog adapting to a different game.
@@robotrannicthesurprisingly9085 Hm, fair enough. Especially since GSaF was intentionally designed as reimagining of FNaF1 (although the only think I'd say makes Freddybear different from the OG is that if he gets to you you're completely screwed)
Genetically, bears are in the dog family " caniformia. " not to be mistaken with dog dogs " canines. " so bears are dogs. they are actually the closest relatives to dogs that aren't wolves, foxes, coyotes or basically the dog dogs. your mutt at home is closer to a bear than a hyena scientifically speaking. so calling freddy a " dog " is scientifically accurate. *Edit* but even I agree Wolfgang would fit the name better since he is a dog dog and would make more sense with the people who don't know anything about zoology. If I would introduce wolfgang into the game it would be night five along with freddy and have him look like a zombie with his fur charred and his bones exposed since he died. he can peak from the door behind the window in the office and can be fended off by shining your light at him 3 to 8 times like in fnaf 2. not only we can have wolfgang in the game without breaking canon or the game loop but it would give more use for the lights and would also help with freddy's mechanic of not wanting to be watched and would fit the name of the song better for people without Any idea of zoology.
I seriously can't get enough of Night 5's track, it's such a perfect embodiment of what this situation is like for the player and the character they control. For the player, it's a musical method of measuring how far they've made it this time. The player is rarely going to have a single moment to spare to eye the clock and if they do they'd have to look so quick their brain wouldn't be able to process it. That or possibly the moment of inaction leads to their demise at the hands of an opportunistic puppet. The track ramps up in intensity, essentially working as the clock itself in audio format. I know other fangames, namely Percy's has done this similarly but where I think this track especially shines is how even though the stress it imposes creeps up overtime, the song remains reserved. The compression almost makes it sound like it's been slowed down which is an effective distortion for a game where you have to _wait_ for the right moment to act. It's a complement to the gameplay, despite it drowning out Berry's song. Like I mentioned earlier, it also does a great job of expressing what's going on in the character's mind, Sam Rodriguez. The game leaves little hints here and there before the reveal after this night that your character IS coming back for a reason. The death screen (to me) seems to hint that Sam is doing this to uncover the truth so that justice can be dealt for the horrifying number of people who have disappeared to this cursed building. The music exemplifies the horror that one would feel in this situation. The guy who hired you, who you _know_ has been lying through his teeth to you since the moment you saw them move completely and genuinely honest with you, but only because you unknowingly pushed these creatures to a point of hunger induced madness they've never had to suffer before. There's no benefit to lying to you anymore, because it's the last time he'll be speaking to you. Sam knows that there's no way this is going to end well for him, but just has to find the truth. He knew the risk he took when he took this job, but he never expected to go out like this.
Regarding the night 5 song, “Old dog, new tricks” it’s Complete and utter hopelessness, fitting for such an unbelievably dark and twisted version of FNAF’s end. Unlike FNAF 1, where the game ends with you collecting a happy hopeful paycheck, this game ends with your fate already sealed “your going to die tonight” said by Steve raglan as dreadybear comes for you as soon as the clock strikes six. Graveyard Shift at Freddy’s preys on the fear of complete and utter alienation, specifically alienating itself so far from what the first FNAF game was to the point where the idea of just how different it is becomes terrifying. Animatronics that aren’t even animatronics but some sort of meat suits, every last ounce of control (figurative and literal) and knowledge of the first FNAF game stripped away from what was once ironically a close reimagining of the first fnaf game turned alienated nightmare.
@@theovazquez7375 it’s almost as if GSAF is such an uneasy, terrifying corruption of what FNAF 1 is to the point of corrupting and twisting even the core concept of FNAF to be something a million times more terrifying and horrific than normal FNAF ever was.
i think the way the chord progression gets grander and grander yet somehow more sinister at the same time as the night progresses reflects on how sam is realizing that he really isn’t intended to get out of this. as the animals outside the ticket booth grow more aggressive i think raglans words of “the only way this ends is for you to die” are really settling in, and the increase in volume and fullness of the sound is just a reflection of the stress and despair he’s feeling as freddy gets closer and closer to him. freddy is basically inevitable in this night as even if he does attack you in the playable part he goes through the back where you can’t defend against him. you can only keep him away from you for so long. sam begins to realize this as the night goes on, and i think freddybears theme is perfect for the night as a whole
'Old Dog, New Tricks' is a lot like 'TamaTerrorz' from fellow FNAF fangame Playtime with Percy in the way that it ramps up over time. Either way, both are BANGERS
Bro, I LOVE Old dog, new tricks The almost hopeless and sad vibe the first part of the song gives before the climactic synth and drums kick in really gives a feeling of “Well, this is it. You’re stuck with them… but hey, if you DO die, maybe there’s a chance that they’ll find you and the rest of the people that these freaks killed! Now, that’s something to die for!”
Here's a interesting theory. Sam Rodriguez was a reporter for the news so what if the whole game (with it's slightly pixely aesthetic and possessed feel) is a recording of Rodriguez last moments (possibly recovered by the corniner?)
The ramping up of the music towards the end of each shift reminds me of Phobia: The Awakening; the same concept was used, mostly noticeably on Night 5.
I like how this whole game sounds so oddly flash game-like, if that makes any sense. Paired with the choppy animation it truly feels like you went back to 2015 to see fnaf in an alternate universe
I actually love this idea of giving the animatronics little themes when they activate if it’s a day-by-day progress. Gives them a bit of personality and help separate them from the last beast Edit: As a little side tangent. Berry’s theme is clever as hell because it literally sounds like it could be a theme for Dracula or some kind of Vampire. While Berry isn’t a vampire, he is a bat. So it works VERY well
@@doot7730And in Sheriff Slithers’ theme They use those same instruments (or what sounds like them) but they use it in a different way. So instead of it being an organ-filled music piece that makes you feel like you’re in Dracula’s castle It gives a different vibe where it makes you feel like you’re in a good ol’ standoff showdown in Texas THE DETAIL IN THIS GAME
