The Walten Files

The Walten Files is a quality web series. It's a little slow at times, but it builds up tension and can genuinely be scary. It also has a good and enjoyable story with some nice mystery. The series is overall very awesome.

Interesting plot and characters, great spooky moments, and despite being animated on a phone, the art style is very interesting and benefits the series. The show uses very few jumpscares despite what it's originally based and instead relies on psychological horror and dreadful moments.

The main story of the series is very heavily inspired by the five nights at freddys series, drawing on many of the same elements. However the visual and auditory design of the tapes is amazingly well done, and work together to create a truly creepy atmosphere.

The Walten Files is an amazing show that has several disturbing moments.

Episode 01 - Company Introductory Tape starts the series off slow. It introduces us to Bunny Smiles Inc, a company which has previously had several mysteries surrounding it. We even get to see one of these gruesome kills toward the end of the episode.

Episode 02 - The Relocate Project revives the series, however. No longer just a short introduction, we see several tapes which all happen at the same time - a contrast to the tapes being all over the place in the prior episode. Once again, we get to see a gruesome kill, even more horrific this time. This episode keeps you hooked onto what will come.

Episode 03 - BunnyFarm brings in a lot more scares. Following the previous episodes, it takes a new direction of a haunted arcade game. This allows to show several haunting deaths, even more disturbing than before. Finally, Episode 04 - CyberFun Tech brings the series in another new direction. Now less centred around spooky scares, instead it begins to tell an interesting story - still with some disturbing moments. It also takes the series away from found footage, instead making it an animated horror series. Overall, the series is very promising and gets me exited for the upcoming episodes.

I understand this series is inspired by FNAF, but in my opinion, the walten files does a better job at telling its story than fnaf. That might be due to the fact that it's clear fnaf didn't have a clear storyline when it originally started, but it's obvious the walten files does. I also understand the story is just getting started but it's already had some really strong footing. As surface level wacky some of the scenes are, the character design is really unique. This is likely the peak of analog horror and fnaf-inspired story telling but i'm not gonna hold my breath for it. I don't know what else to add.
