Parent reviews for Five Nights at Freddy's

Scared my 12 year old just hearing about it and watching friends play it at school. He was so unsettled by it, we ultimately tried playing it with him to help him conquer the fear and move on. Unfortunately, this did not work. Apparently, this game if his "fear button." Everyone has something that fully scares them and this is his. I would not normally allow this game to be played due to the violent and sadistic nature of it. It is so popular right now that my son was unable to avoid it. Although there is no blood, there is the suggestion of extreme violence, which I think can be worse as it allows the player to use their imagination, inserting perhaps more disturbing images. If you are a parent, please read the background story of the game and characters so you can make an informed decision about whether to allow your child to play FNAF.

I'm sorry but it's not scary it's creepy and makes you jump but NOT SCARY!!!!!

My son played this game after I had previously removed it from their devices. Now he is scared of things he wasn't scared of previously. If your child cannot handle jump scares or tension games, or if their imagination often goes haywire, don't let them play this!

I' am writing this because of my 8 year nephew and other first hand accounts of other children playing this demonic game...My sister was telling me that one evening her son said he was hearing voices telling him to "hate god, love the devil"...My sister was concerned because there was no one else around in his room and no tv either, he just had his tablet. She asked him what was he watching to make him say he was hearing voices and he denied watching anything...The next day while her son was at school, the teacher called my sister at work and stated she was concerned for my nephew because he was hitting his own head saying he was hearing voices telling him "hate god, love the devil", when my sister gets off the phone with the teacher, she confided with her co worker what was going on with her son, and her co worker also told my sister, that her son (co worker) use to play this game and that he would tell her (co worker) that he was seeing dead people in his room. So when my sister gets home that day she asked her son again what was he watching on his tablet and he finally told her about 5 nights at Freddy's, she had no clue about this so she googled it and was surprised on the horror. With that being said she forbade him from watching this again. Also, I informed my friend who has young boys not to let them watch, my friend stated to me that lately his son had been having nightmares since watching freddy. I believe all these things mentioned are true and I also believe there are demonic spirits associated with this game.

If you have mature 12/13 year old this game is fine. I would definitely start playing it together at first and both remember that this game is a work of fiction with very fictional characters. I would not recommend this game for children and teens who have or have previous fears of clowns, animals, stuffed animals and sudden noises/sounds as this game has characters and noises that could trigger those fears again. The background story is very disturbing for some as children are "supposedly" murdered at the pizza place. Talk about this with your child before you even try playing the game with them but don't even think or tell them you don't think they can handle it. This puts them down and makes them only want to play it more. Never play before bed or in the dark as this makes the illusion more real. If you or your child are doubting yourselves don't play!

so I got this game a while back, and only played it really recently. you start up the game, the start screen has the title character, Freddy Fazbear, and then you start. This guy named by the community Phone Guy, tells you that the characters Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy try and get into your office and won't recognize you as a human(but as an endoskeleton), implying violence, but never shown. there are jumpscares, but also they're short and not very intense. PLAYING the game is an important step in deciding, and different people at different ages have different opinions. I know a 17-year-old who hates it, and a 5-year-old who LOVES it. The site, scottgames.com, is a picture. no interactivity at all. One more thing is that there are rare screens that imply more violence, but as they're rare, and hard too see, the damage, if such, is self-inflicted. this game really helpec Scott Cawthon, is fun and challenging, teaches management(with power) and strategy skills, and really shouldn't(in my opinion) be bashed unless played.

This game is frecking scary and tramatizing . This can scar a kid for about 1 year . My friends 5 year old brother played this and know is scared to got to Chucky Cheese! So if your a little kid do NOT play this . Also do not play it if you are scared easily. P.S. i gave it a star rating because I love it!

It is a fun and addicting game. Parents need to know that it has a lot of jump scares that may terrify young kids. It makes you paranoid in real life. Off for age 8 and under, pause for age 9-10, on for age 11 and up! Enjoy!
