The Most RAGE Inducing FNAF Fan Game... 

damn I remember this one!!!

Even though the original game isn't too good, the sequel thats still in development actually looks great and doesn't look much like FNaF, seperating it from the series, which is great.

it's sad to see this because judging by the looks of the game, this person has an incredible amount of talent. This artstyle is fantastic and I really wanna see more of it. Someone else in the comments said they're making a sequel so I hope that one turns out better

I think it's fine that this is getting sold on Steam. Scott made a game which is really unique, and in the first moment you would think that anything similar is a fangame and shouldn't be sold in any way without Scott's permission. However, technically Scott made a new genre of haunted animatronics and while this game really reminds of Sister Location it's still its own game with its own characters (even if similar to Sister Location), its own story and its own gameplay, its own assets and its own code (at least I hope so). I wouldn't say that this is enough to get taken down from Steam, just because it is a really obvious FNAF inspired game. If every game similar to another one would get taken down on Steam and other platforms we really wouldn't have a lot to play, but in the first moment it's almost logical to think that games like these should get taken down, although it uses a really unique genre which only one person used commercially on Steam yet, until this game came out.

my issue with it is the theming doesn't match the threats. You're in a school right? Why is there robot wolves and stuff? Feels like they wanted animatronics because "that's what fnaf has". If the game focussed on original monster concepts, I don't think people would've taken as much issue with it, aside from complaining at it's difficulty

There's not really any reason this game should get taken off of steam. Although the game isn't particularly original, Scott Cawthon can't exactly copyright the idea of an abandoned building with spooky animatronics.

To your ending question. This game is only inspired by FNAF, which is not nearly enough to copyright strike somebody for that alone. As both an artist & game dev myself I can tell you that something has to actually have been stolen from the other property in order for it to violate copyright, whether if it be precise art designs, story or whatever. Something merely being highly similar is not grounds to claim ownership over it and take it down. Furthermore it never looks good for any creator to abuse copyright systems out of pettiness!

Before I realized this was a paid game on steam I actually liked the first few phases of the game. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and level design Of course it all goes off the rails after phase 2

As someone who bought the game i think its more like chase animatronics, its fnaf inspired but not a clone. Or a cash-grab. II didnt like the later phases but theres much work and effort put into it, but i dont think its worth the 8 bucks

0:29, according to the Iceberg you saw, Five Nights at The Krusty Krab is the first fnaf fangame to be sold on steam, albeit briefly.

I think it's fine that it's on Steam. I'd say I'm actually interested in checking it out, but the unclear instructions and terrible balancing on the last couple of phases is pushing me away and considering the age of the game I doubt there'll be any fixes.

Technically it's allowed, If I make a platformer and say Mario and Sonic "inspired" me it doesn't mean its a fan game of Mario or Sonic so long as the things in the game are original to the creator. Now it doesn't mean the game is any good, but because the only mention of Fnaf is a small line of text saying it's inspired and there is no sight or sound of one of the Freddy's animatronics the creator is within their rights to try to earn money off their project just like Case Animatronics did. Hell Popgoes could've probably gotten away with it back when the original came out if the story wasn't so tied into the fnaf lore. If the culture didn't build itself on Game jolt we probably would've seen a lot more of these types of games trying to make money off the new Genre that Scott Cawthon created.

this game has been in my memories since I watched Dawko play it and I honestly think I've never seen him more bored with a game ever

Whether or not you think its good or bad, I don't think Scott has the right to take it down.

This game does have a lot of potential to be an amazing fan game! The main problem is the insane difficulty and how long some points can be

Bruh the "Wooden" has to be the worst fan character design for FNAF I've ever seen.

Ahh i remember this game from 2017 This game and Circus baby's nightmare world was a pretty amazingly made game which emulates the fnaf feeling pretty well Imo it doesn't do any harm than being a mildly challenging and annoying games at times, and there isn't anything too dramatic in it nor with its devs that "ruins" the franchise I'd say keep it, if someone buys it it's probably because they have loose change and want to pay for a fnaf fan game

5:28 Perhaps it is because I am not a native english speaker that "forces" me to think of all the possibilities or something, but although this is the first time I see this game, it is... KINDA clear, no? Even with the broken english. "Focus the light to wooden" - "move fast the mouse". It is said that we gotta focus the light to woodens and then move the mouse fast, no?

Not going to lie, the mechanics are clearly wonky. And the game is overall unfair. But the models and renders of the scenes are pretty beautiful. Mostly the clock level has a very pleasing look to it and a cool atmosphere

The game developer was just like “eh they’ll figure it out” no instructions, just tosses you to the wolves

It's great to see your channel growing, because this truly is quality content!

I think it’s different enough where it can clarify as a different game, sister location wasn’t the first horror point and click game and that is such a vast genre too, having an animatronic and jump scares in the game makes them a little more similar but those things are pretty common horror features

1:08 wait what

dawko trying not to curse was the most mildly funny thing in this video

Here's the thing it is clearly inspired by Fnaf but as long as it makes no direct references and/or mentions to Fnaf itself it makes this a legitimate game as long as the creators don't directly call this a fan game, animatronics were only popularized by Fnaf in the horror game genre and such, Scott does not own them however. Edit: Doesn’t change that the game is bad though.

I remember when Dawko played this. I don't think I have ever seen him more bored and frustrated at a game.

Scott doesn’t own the use of animatronics. The mascot was it’s own design and the wooden figures are common to artists doing pose sketches. It had its own mechanics so I think it works as it’s own game. Probably too expensive though especially for it not working properly

The character development of Trace having legs is crazy

The topic of this game definitely intrigues me, but I actually wanted to comment to tell you congrats on 40K! The surprise I had when I heard that you've been making videos since 10 was something I wasn't expecting XD I really like your style of video, BTW- good luck with your future! I hope you thrive!

This seems like a good game but there some problems them being: Balancing issues Confusing tutorials Missing information Nothing extra after finishing the game (from what i know) And hard to undertsand mechanics If they parched this game and remade some stuff it might be worth like 4-8 dollars

0:55 Who said I'm going to pay ? 😈😈

7:05 just judging by the video I think it did. The game says "move mouse fast" when shining it on the woodens. Personally when I heard "mvoe mouse fast" I immidiately thought of wiggling it.

Duh it can stay on Steam. If games had to be taken down because of similarities so many large companies would have their way with the market. Inspired works or spiritual successors would not be allowed to exist as paid products. And if they companies can remove games from store fronts, they probably can use their powers to remove fan games that are only inspired. Nintendo already removes fan games that use their properties. Imagine if they could remove games that just look similar and play similar to their games? Tbf, I think a lot of younger gamers have a "it's a fan game and shouldn't be monetized" because they've grown up in an age of internet we're so many good free fan games have been made and it's set a precedent. It probably also stems from the "it's an indie game so it should cost less" mentality. Either way, don't sell yourself short. If you make a good game, don't feel ashamed to charge money for it unless it blatantly uses copyrighted assets. That will get you in trouble.

5:38 i thought you were on a scalp fighting off headlice

I know a lot of people defend the game saying it’s only inspired by fnaf and not a fan game, but I think it’s important to keep in mind just how much is being lifted directly from fnaf. The “woodens” are mini-reenas, the animatronics look in the same style as fnaf, the building designs could easily be a dupe of sister location, etc etc. You don’t have to use the same characters and names as something to be ripping it off. Like if we saw people fighting in space with light sticks we would immediately think it’s just like Star Wars, y’know? It’s fine to take inspiration, but this is just a bit too far, and since all SC asked is do what ever you want w his ip as long as you don’t charge for it, I think it’s fair to say 8 dollars is a little outrageous, especially given the quality of the game. If the game dev just changed a few things, it’d be fine. Still not worth 8 dollars, but better than being hated for being a paid “fan game”.

The second you said you beat LASO H2 I subscribed. I have endless respect for people how have. The patience, the endurance, the skill it's all something that I strive for.

Wasn't one of Scott's rules that fangames shouldn't cost money?

7:33 that was the most submissive jumpscare noise ever

did some quick math at 8:37. that was 20 frames on youtube, endless inside runs at 60-120 fps, so he had a third of a second at best and at worst 1/6 of a second.

bro started his dream at 10 yet im here at 16 wonderin how tf im meant to make a fnaf fangame all by myself.

Halo 2 on laso?! Dude that’s insane! The only thing I have worth bragging about is beating all the games on legendary solo.

It's kind of a shame this turned out so poorly. Seeing the "Mystery Case Files" as part of the inspirations is kind of cool. I love those games, especially 13th Skull. It's a really fun series of games, and while its mostly Hidden Object 'Horror/Mystery,' I think it does mesh well with the general idea of FNAF. This game could have been really good. I hope there will be more 'Mystery Case Files Fnaf' someday. The MCF games have great atmosphere and environments. First one I ever played was the Banshee one, and I remember it well. First game of the genre I played, too.

Awesome video! Glad I discovered this channel. Gonna binge through the rest of you channel now!

If Dawko is done with your game, you know it‘s a bad game.

They definitely have to redesign some characters. Like the wooden. And maybe change the look of a few props. But otherwise I don’t think it has to be removed from steam. What people have to remember is that Scott doesn’t own the „Pizzeria/random location with deadly Animatronics“ idea. Sure his game made the idea popular, but it’s not a part of the fnaf franchise.

Ooh, redesign! I really like it :D Really quality content.

Hey there man I just found your channel and the thought the game looked interesting as soon as I saw that human spider looking thing I had a wave of nostalgia thank you for bringing back memories cuz this is why I love fnaf, this game is trash yes but I love fnaf cuz it brings out some amazing work so thank you for reminding me why I should Carry on my fnaf fan game 😊

honestly plain, you are underated and funny. im subbing

To me a fan game takes characters or story elements from the original series and either expands upon it or reimagines it. I don't believe game mechanics, genres, settings can be protected under copyright. Games like Minecraft wouldn't exist if that were the case. The only thing Scott really owns are the characters, brand names, locations, whatever he made solely for his games. Technically Candy's, Popgoes (after removing Shadow Bonnie), Flumpty's could all have been sold from the start because though they share mechanics, they have their own characters, locations, story, ect. So yeah this game can be on steam if it wants.

Though it uses similar concepts to the FNaF series (point and click survival, haunted animatronics, are style direction, etc.), I would say it's allowed to stay up for money, as long as it doesn't use any characters, locations, or items from FNaF. And as long as it does that, too, it's also not necessarily a fangame- it's just inspired by FNaF

Despite the video topic, I just want to say that this channel just makes me RELIVE the old fnaf. I have quit the fnaf community since fnaf VR and haven't been interested with fnaf again.. until now. I guess my way of dealing with nostalgia will be joining the community once again. And just now I realized why I quit the community.. FNAF seemed dead to me. But now, now I'm not so sure.. The fanverse stuff and fnaf+ look pretty much alive and active! I can't wait to play fanverse games and especially FNAF+ for that nostalgic but refreshing experience. And all of this thanks to this channel and new amazing TLT song, that reminded me that fnaf is a thing.

Great video! I have to say, I am keeping my eye on your channel pal! I can see you going places and each video the quality just gets better!

Oh dang, I vaguely remembered watching a few people play the intro parts of this back in the day. Guess I now know why they only did a part one lol...

FNAF fangame made by ea

0:29 CASE: Animatronics is actually the first fangame to cost money, it came out on Steam on August 3rd 2016.

Scott doesn't own the IP of "Spooky Robots Try to murder you", So as far as the law is concerned its fine.

You bringing up the fact that you best halo 2 laso made me subscribe instantly. Love the content man keep it up

I personally think It's fine since they gave credit to Scott, but they should definitely look into better coding of the woodens and better tips

I just randomly remembered this game exists, saw 8BitRyan's gameplay and he had a bug where the spider-esque doll runs towards you during the ballerina dancing, it loops running against you a few times whenever you look up

1:50. This touch me, idk why. +subscriber Hi from Brazil 💚

The artist of the game managed to perfectly recreate Scott's art style and that takes some talent.

Man I remember watching dawko play this game back then

My 12 yo sibling found the trick to phase 2. Both switches when activated make their respective number add 1 digit, but make the other number in the screens go down by 1. So you must make both equal. My sibling says that the only way to do so (or probably the easiest one) is to make both screens dial 5.

Have you thought about talking about the CASE: Animatronics games at some point? After watching this reminded me of that game, and when looking it up I saw it came out in 2016, a year before this one, it is a 3D game, walking around the environment and such, though I do not remember fully how the reception of that game was, and its sequel

Its a shame. There was a lot of potential in this game. These things could have been solved with playtesters

The game looks good and actually peaked my interest a bit. However, if the dev could tweak the game a bit then that would be great. Also, if I’m not mistaken (though, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. I am just saying what I heard long ago) Scott didn’t allow fnaf fan games to be paid or have in app purchases (Again, I may be wrong about this) so if the dev could at least lower the price or make it free then that would be another bonus.

What stinks is that under the fnaf inspiration credit, it also says it was inspired by Mystery Case Files, which is sad because sense those games aren't nearly that bad. I would like to see people like Dawko try and play a game like 13th Skull, Shadow Lake, and/or Dire Grove. Feels right up their alley.

Would you be willing to go more into Baby's Nightmare Circus (or do a review)? It looks awesome!

Reminder that Scott didn't make the horror genre, he just popularized it.

this game LOOKS really good. but i can imagine after playing it, i would hate it. this should at least be free. not only is it very much a fangame, it probably isnt worth the price at all.

1:07 Damn boy! That was some unexpected news, but congrats on beating it! May the Sniper Jackals rest in trash where they belong.

The claim of it being more rage inducing then gravemind LASO is the most insane expectations ever set and this somehow met all of them

10:05 i'm gonna have a bit of a controversial opinion i think it's fine it's obviously inspired by FNaF, but I wouldn't say it's to the degree of copyright infringement

Holy shit you completed halo 2 on laso. Mad respect dude, that is absolutely incredible

Wait you Kicked Something back into my head I Remember Fuzion doing some gameplays of this fnaf fangame were you are in a office simular to the one that animatronic runs passed and another section were you find this animatronic on stage and you talk to her that was years ago but maybe there the same game

Hey congrats on reaching 40k subs man

0:30 actually (i dont know if that count) there is another fnaf "fan game" that you have to pay called "case animatronics" that was a free room game, he was originally a fnaf fan game but the game was so unique that is become a separate game on steam so much so that he even has a sequel "case animatronics 2" and the game is so good the gameplay is good and the jumpscares are amazing.

It does have the right to be sold as it has none of the characters as FNaF. Sure, it was heavily inspired but Scott doesn't necessarily own the genre. So as long as it has origional characters, it kind of can get away with it.

the bit in 6:12 just kind of reminds me of hair and lice 💀

I salute your LASO achievement, I am actually on my way to LASO Master myself. My brother and myself are attempting to beat every single halo campaign on LASO, currently we have completed Halo Reach. A true achievement of itself but no feat matches Halo 2, I salute you again. Stuck on Halo:CE but we're pushing through. Love your videos, fnaf is also great, second to Halo B)

not really a fnaf fangame tbh. maybe it was at one point in development, but in the state you played it in, it's distinct enough in gameplay, characters, and story to qualify as its own beast entirely. i know this has been said but i think it's important to reiterate.

I think it's good enough visually to stay on steam, but it would be cool if this video got seen by the dev and they fixed the gameplay

Dawko wanted to curse so badly, you can hear it in his voice.

As well holding a frame of a animated carter allows you to pout in more details and your carter is highly detailed.

I think the reason that this game was able to marketed and sold for 8 dollars, is because while this game is similar towards SL, it technically doesn't infringe on Scott's IP. Remember, while Scott does hold the rights towards the FNAF franchise, he doesn't hold the right to the whole "deadly animatronics" concept. Not trying to defend this person, but I'm just playing the Devil's advocate here.

Eh, this game has enough of it's own identity to be it's own game It's just unfortunate that it doesn't seem like an actually good game lol

Congrats on 100k!

Hey Plain, i think your a really good youtuber, you've put in a lot of work and deserve more popularity, I hope you well for the future of the channel

The original game costed $7.99 until 2017 Scott changed it to $3.99

Oh man I completely forgot about this game

Man, I love watching your content and I think you deserve at least 1M subs.

1:26 Another way of putting this is "The one thing that matters in a game is bad in this one, but if you can look past that it isn't bad". The best graphics in the world don't do anything if the gameplay is trash

Yeah just pausing this to say YOU BEAT HALO 2 ON LASO!? Dear lord dude, I’m just trying to beat them all on Heroic before I even think about Legendary, let alone LASO.

Yeah don't purchase this game because it's similar to this other game I like, is what that intro is saying. I get the fact it may be similar but like Scott Cawthon does not own the haunted animatronic genre, it's been a thing before FNAF it was just the one that popularised it. In the video you literally praise the game for how well made it is. Regardless of the similarities it may have it is its own game and telling people to not purchase it is kinda dumb :/

Oh, you also watched tylerland’s fnaf fangame iceberg (which everyone should watch)

5:59 ignore my friends goofy ahhhh laugh

I think its distinct enough from fnaf to be sold the animatronic stand ins being wooden dolls is a really cool way to stand out it just needed more time in the oven cause man those designs fail and sister location has a pretty basic gameplay loop hear voice go through hall animatronic encounter + puzzle so i dont think using that loop can really be considered ripping it off since again it is so simple and the design of the place is super similar to sister location which isnt really enough to copyright strike it

I only had to see the title to know it was immediately gonna be this game

They put this game up with a price tag but couldn't be bothered to proof-read the in-game text? The very first part of the game is a wall of text, and making sure that was done properly was too much?

i love how in the thumbnail you try to do a thumbs down with no fingers
