Looks coo, will maybe buy when it's up on Steam.
I think people aren't talking about it here because so far I've only seen it on tumblr where people post either short gifs of it and pretend to be scared, or just straight up furry porn.
It doesn't look scary at all, it looks fucking goofy. The jump scares aren't even really jumpy or scary. The sheer quantity of furry porn of it quickly popping up everywhere is the most scary part of it.

I've seen a lot of commons on YouTube, from people complaining it's not scary, a crappy game, or that it's lame because all the popular YouTubers are playing it.
Really, I feel like it's a good use of limited resources. For one, even though the game appears to be 3D, it's running on a 2D engine, so all the 3D effects are pre-rendered. In addition, it does a good job and giving you a feeling of helplessness. Most horror games give you some means of self-defense (some give you so much they call it action horror, and some go over board so the horror aspect can be interchangeable with any given enemy type). Here, it's all about survival, and the only thing that can protect you is the doors, as well as the camera and lights that well tell you where the killers are. Because all three drain power, you have to reserve them for when you need them the most, necessitating that you keep a mindful eye on Freddy and his gang, while learning how they movie to avoid getting killed. The fact that the game has no music, and leaves you reliant on sound and what limited vision you can helps add to the frightening atmosphere. The game uses jump-scares, which most would call a cheap tactic in regards to making things scary, but the thing is, you don't know when or where one of the robotic mascots will show up (since some of them can apparently teleport). Since seeing one of them close to you means instant death and a Game Over, it's only natural to be fearful of them and be shocked when one of them pops up when you're least expecting it.
Really, even though I haven't played this game and only seen the Game Grumps (or rather, Arin/Egoraptor, Barry, and Suzy on Steam Train) and Markiplier play it, I applaud this game's efforts for doing good for the horror genre when it comes to video games. Sure it's a bit light on story, though there ARE some juicy nuggets of insight if you look deep enough, but it really succeeds in unnerving you in a way only a good horror game would, and NOT just because the mascots are creepy-looking in general.
It's definitely a lot better then Slender, THAT'S for sure.

The jumpscare aren't really that scary.
But that fucking face in the doorway. Fuck that.

The jumpscares are awesome! I love them because they get me like every time.
The scariest part about this game is the suspense. Like, you have no idea when it's going to happen. That's really what I find true scary to be is when you cannot predict when it'll happen.

I watched a few videos but these type of games scare the shit out of me. I know a lot of people say this isn't scary but what freaks out a person is subjective to begin with, that's why not everybody has a fear of heights.
That piece of shit that runs really fast, pops in and screams is the worst. Fuck that thing. Every single time that scream freaks me out. I only watch them because a few of the channels I'm subscribed to decided it'd be a good idea to play it, I guess I like seeing their reactions to it. Some are completely unfazed and others keep their calm until the asshole I mentioned before pops in.

Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly!
Jumpscares are the lowest form of scaring in my opinion. Anything that relies on massive amounts of jumpscares isn't scaring right too. I mean they are effective, and heck they even get me all the time, but relying on only that is cheap.

I wouldn't say lowest, but a more basic form of scaring. It's something that is easy to pull off while effectively doing it's job. I wouldn't call it cheap.
The thing though is that the jumpscares are really not the scariest part of this game. It's the fact that you know and you're anticipating it, and so you start freaking out not knowing when it will happen. It has an element of surprise that you can never predict. You may flicker a light, and next thing you know Bunny is standing right near the doorway, or you'll change the camera and look to see Ducky moving closer and closer, or Foxy slowly pushing his face from behind the curtains.
It really is the scariest part, as the jumpscare is the climax of the scary, but also as a relief knowing that it's over.
Yeah, the anticipation is probably the difficult part. Though in a way that's what makes the sound effect of the fox running down the hallway that much scarier because you're so used to not hearing anything from these dolls and not having to worry about dealing with them so quickly.

I dunno. Change the camera and suddenly seeing a figure running after you after just seeing no movement in an of the cameras makes it scarier than if you were used to seeing things running or moving a lot.
