Ratings and reviews

It doesn't give you ANY new information. It does talk about popular fan theories, but never actually GIVES any details or information. It doesn't confirm or deny any of the discussions, it just showcases them. Besides not revealing anything, it does have a very full and detailed description of all the characters/games mechanics-- which WOULD be cool if you couldn't just look up all that info on the wiki already. Besides some cool illustrations and a tasty recipe for eggs benedict, this book was a disappointment for any real fans looking for answers...

Really a far cry from what I was expecting and hoping for. It's more like a description of the games, how they work, what they entail and some summaries of the theories online. I was looking for concrete evidence and lore from Scott. Not just repeats of stuff I've watched on YouTube in a book. Disappointing.

If you're looking for a detailed guide on the inner workings of FNAF's mechanics, or simply want to support the creators, you've got all that here. The book also goes into some popular theories provided alongside summaries for each game, but if you're coming in looking for the missing key to the mysteries, you'll be disappointed.
