Review:
I used to not like this game that much. I felt it was a weird mix of fun tycoon gameplay with a lesser and more dull version of the classic fnaf gameplay inbetween. That has changed. I still feel like it's not the most tonally consistent of the franchise, but I've come to really love the "night guard" gameplay. It focuses pretty much obly on sound, and the most effective jumpscares end up being ones you've put there in order to make more money in the tycoon gameplay. It's stressfull, but uniquely enough, only as hard as you make it. A very good game and a much better conclusion to William Afton than the new games.
Strategy:
STOP USING AUDIO LURE! This might be effective when you're dealing with 1-2 animatronics, but if you, like myself, have decided to play with all 4 of the animatronics in your vents, then this will probably get you killed. For starters, don't accept all of the sponsorships. After a while you will be making more than enough money to not have to take them. Personally I took the first three, and that was enough for me. Just buy the right things for your pizzeria and the money will start to flow in. During the "nights", keep the silent ventilation on, and focus only on the tasks. The animatronics won't camp your vents, they will kind of rythmically make their way towards your office, and then wander off, as long as you listen to what side they are on and stare them down when they enter. With the silent ventilation on, you don't need to keep the main ventilation on anywhere near as much. Instead, try to keep the temperature around 80 degrees (the temperature basically stay still if your computer is off and you use silent ventilation). When the temperature inevitably rises to about 100, you want to find a good moment to turn your main ventilation on. I recommend doing this during a "stare-down" since you are stopping the animatronic from entering your vent, just be sure to not have it on for too long since you might not hear if someone is entering from the other side. It seems to me that the animatronics don't enter both vents at the same time, but enters one vent if the other is clear. I don't know that for 100%, but that's how it's been going for me.
And that's all. This strategy might need some patience, but it certainly made the game easier for me.
