Games/franchises like this feel like they’re aimed for youtubers. But do people actually enjoy them as games, or do they enjoy them as reaction/gaming videos?
I might be a bit out of the loop with these, but I kinda feel the “main audience” is mostly kids, are the kids actually going to go to the movies to see it?
Yea, there’s always the one that innovates and then there’s the imitators. Trend setters and trend chasers.
Now, I’m fully admitting my experiences with any of these mascot horror things is limit to youtube videos, but still… to me these just feel like cheap jumpscares and kinda jank youtuber-bait games with excessive tacked-on lore… But that’s just me, if anyone enjoys these, don’t let my grumpy old-man-yells-at-clouds-grump dampen your parade, go you go!
Poppy playtime at the very least is unique. The chapters follow the pattern of spooky exposition, puzzle section, then monster chase. Definitely different than anything presented by fnaf.
The episodic nature of the release is absolutely geared to YouTubers, as it makes itself relevant again every few months.

Yeah pretty much. They’re just chasing fnaf’s fame, which pioneered mascot horror and blew up through YouTube.
Fnaf itself was actually a very innovative game series, and I’ll admit the movie wasn’t awful and was pretty accessible to non fans of the series.
