The Walten Files

My critiques for this series are very few. The story is easy to follow, the art style is true to the theme of the series, which adds to the creep factor, the lore is my god, SO GOOD, and it does require a bit of thought to process some things shown. For something that was originally a fan game of FNaF, it's actually really good. But positive things aside, I will get into my very few critiques. (This is not a complaint but I will say the series is very gory and there is LOTS of body horror, real screaming, distorted faces, eye contact, and realistic animation.* The story can drag on at times, but is overall easy to follow. There are times where you are left at a point where you have no idea what is happening. The story is a bit too inspired by FNaf, but I'll let it slide because they put an amazing twist on it. I enjoyed the extra videos they hid inside, but I wish there was more. That's it. Enjoy the series. Peace.

The one thing you'll notice as soon as you start watching is how closely it resembles FNaF, but it does just enough mixing and matching elements of its inspiration that it has equal parts original story (a much simpler one, by comparison) and inspired or borrowed ideas that you can appropriately call it inspired and not a mishmash of parts and pieces with names shuffled around.

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.

Good plot, great soundtrack, and so interesting characters. An oppressive atmosphere, does its job.

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.
