Five Nights at Freddy's 3

Five Nights at Freddy's 3 is a horror puzzle game for Android phones. A new story begins after the pizzeria closes, with the appearance of an electronic doll. The player's goal is to survive, living in the Fries Bear haunted house from midnight to 6:00 AM. Players must control the security cameras and restart the security system to survive. The game features a dark and terrifying atmosphere, providing a more thrilling experience. Players need to read the guide before playing, employing strategies to survive. It's recommended to review the lessons learned from each game before starting the next.

Gameplay

Like the prior two games, your goal is survival. You must survive five nights at Fazbear's Fright, making it alive from 12:00am - 6:00am. Each round is roughly four minutes of real-time.

Survival means ensuring that Springtrap, an evil animatronic, doesn't kill you by entering your security office and delivering one of Five Nights at Freddy's famous jumpscares. Unlike previous games, Five Nights at Freddy's has only one main enemy. This creates a different feeling than most Five Nights games and one that leaves players in even more discomfort.

In order to survive, you must monitor security cameras and ensure that three different security systems are always working, rebooting them as necessary. If you have issues with the ventilation system, you will black out and hallucinate, with animatronics from the previous games hindering your progress and making it harder for you to successfully reboot the security systems and survive.

The graphics of this game are creepy and grainy, and like previous editions, Five Nights at Freddy's 3 successfully integrates a haunting visual style. The game makes perfect use of its every pixel in order to hide Springtrap and create an atmosphere that will absolutely terrify you when Springtrap inevitably reaches your office. The gameplay starts slow but becomes faster and faster. Indeed, it moves so slowly that you may not even realize how much trouble you are in until...too late.

Advantages and disadvantages

Jumpscares and evil animatronics feel a bit tired as the game goes on.

I really live this game! The lore revealed is great and the gameplay isn't too challenging, I'm just... bad at it. Although sometimes my audio won't work even though the audio isn't disconnected, and springtrap goes a tad too fast from cam 10 to my door... even though the vents are a boost it's still too much. And uh- my game won't let me seal the vents... at all. I double tap and it doesn't work and if it does it gives me no indication. Other than that oh my gosh I love this game.

So, I installed the mobile port about a month after it released, and I managed to beat it, a few times, but due to the revamped minigame mechanic, I never got the good ending, which is my fault, I suppose. Anyway, I uninstalled it out of frustration. I reinstalled it recently, and I have gotta say, I am SO glad that it plays the same as the PC port. Thank you, Clickteam and Cawthon!

Five Nights at Freddy's is one of my favorite horror videogame franchise of all time, but this is my top 1 favorite on my list. Because I can go through 1-5 nights for the normal bad ending, and checking out secrets to get the good ending, and looking at extras for animatronics, jumpscares, mini-games for the good ending as stated above, and cheats to do the nightmare mode on aggressive mode.

Summarize

Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 – the game takes place thirty years after the events in Freddy’s pizzeria, after which it had to be closed. But a very long time had passed and what had happened was nothing more than an unpleasant childhood memory and forgotten rumors. The new owners of the pizzeria decided to revive the old legend and turn it into a PR move for the opening and popularity of the institution. But only after so many years, not much remains of the past things. Old dolls, costumes that turned into rags… only now a new animatronic appeared out of nowhere… Something’s wrong…
