This is by far the most excellent Five Nights at Freddy's fan project I've ever seen. The series is set and centered around the early days of the series' timeline regarding Fredbear's family diner and the characters involved, who would later create a chain of events throughout the rest of the franchise. It explores the characters motivations, relationships and dynamics in a very nuanced and satisfying way that fans of this franchise will appreciate. Especially since we don't see it that much in any of the actual games. By the time I was finished watching this, a part of me forgot this was fan-made and not official. It's very well written and there's quite a bit of subtle foreshadowing that some fans will catch onto, while also taking some creative liberties, such as the aesthetics and designs of the animatronic characters. They're stylized to look more like actual 80s animatronic mascots compared to their original designs, which makes things feel more grounded and realistic in a sense. There are also some small tweaks to the story as well, particularly the way a certain character's death was handled. Which I think was a good change for this adaptation, it has a long lasting impact and consequences that fit well later with the rest of the plot. The visuals and quality were great, but some of the animation can seem a little off in certain frames at times, especially in the earlier parts of the series, but if you can ignore that and keep watching you'll be more than pleasantly surprised by the end. It's a very heavy and tragic tale that I think any fan from any era of the franchise will love.
