The Most Terrifying FNAF Fan Game You Never Heard Of (A Shadow Over Freddy's)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июн 2024
- Out of all the core FNAF games from Five Nights At Freddy's 1, FNAF 2, FNAF 3, FNAF 4, FNAF Sister Location, and Five Nights At Freddy's Security Breach, I never felt the same amount of fear from those game as I did from playing A Shadow Over Freddy's. This game truly was one of the scariest experiences I had while playing any fnaf fan game. It is a shame that not a lot of people have even talked about it. Even though it is completely free to play, there weren't that many who played it either compared to other more popular games. So, today we are going to explore the most terrifying FNAF fan game that you never heard of. Hopefully you enjoyed this video as much as I did researching it!

I wasn’t expecting the first night to end with a dog murder.
Same
Even more insane when you realize that it's not only how Afton first discovered remnant, but also ties into the Midnight Motorist minigame.
@@Jedi-ge6lr What's that mini game about?
@@kagemushashien8394 Midnight Motorist?
@@Jedi-ge6lr Oh is that the one where you're in the car and you drive to your home to realise your child escaped through the window?
It is a twist, probably for an alternate universe because Afton was Henry's partner when they made the franchise.
If I remember correctly.
I remember I installed this game, played it for 5 minutes, and then uninstalled due how terrifying it was. It was giving me war flashbacks of At Dead Of Night.
This game is so amazing with its visual i don’t blame you for doing that!

This game gave me back those childhood vibe that whenever you turn off your lights, you better run as fast or the shadowman will get you, AND THIS GAME GAVE ME BACK OF THAT TRAUMA.
LMAO same here
I like how there's not really a "good" ending for the character we play as, because even if we get the "good" ending our character will still be tormented by his shadows for the rest of eternity.
The only difference is, is that our character actually shows remorse for what he did and accepts his punishment fully.

@@thegermanfool8953 Fuck... That hits deep not gonna lie, good words bro
I want more FNAF fan games like this! Instead of repeating the same game mechanics from the original games like so many do, the mechanics are used in a different way and the atmosphere is terrifying along with the ambiance.
I also love how this game portrays William Afton ; a man that causes suffering who also suffers himself. If a new FNAF fan game uses him again as an enemy character, I think he should act as a secondary antagonist and make a new main villain of its story.
I completely agree! I love the original formula but seeing games inspired by fnaf and changing the mechanics completely is so refreshing and makes me love the new concepts. I’m trying to find some new games that do that so if you have any recommendations let me know :)
I’ll try to find something for ya pal! ;)
No

I find the stories to be a cool interpretation of why William was a murderer. This kinda feels like Charlie’s version of custom night rather than Cassidy
Why?
@@Based_Gigachad_001 it's not a raw onslaught of rage and endless faces from William's past. It's slow, methodical and calculated in the punishment of William, getting into his head and tormenting him mentally as opposed to the non-stop maiming and brutalising from the 50+ animatronics after you
@@Based_Gigachad_001 Charlie possesses the puppet. The puppet is torturing William in this game, whereas in ultimate custom night it was the vengeful spirit doing it.
@@Whispurer Ok.
@@Based_Gigachad_001 you asked, fuck off
Something beautiful is the jumpscares, it’s not there to rip apart your eardrums. With the quiet and near silent ambience. The sudden “RAAH!” out of nowhere sends you into another plane of thought. The animations are nice and simple with the Animatronic quickly sliding into frame before zooming into the camera. It’s simple but all that’s needed
That’s a neat twist with William Afton. The first story of the boy killing his dog automatically had me predicting he’d be a damn serial killer, and while it’s been done before where a villain/antagonist was later revealed to be the player all along, it still works.
*_Is it_* a neat twist? Up until the Puppet dropped the bomb, "William" had been a complete blank slate- no face, no dialogue, no hints at all that he was anything more than a nameless playable avatar for the player to imprint themselves onto as they immerse themselves into the story.
You can't point at a silent, nameless empty space of a character, declare that they were a named character with an established backstory and personality all along, and _Poof~! it is so!_ Especially if they're still gonna continue acting like a blank slate even after the reveal. You understand how jarring that is?!
In short, call my sense of immersion "Charlotte Emily," because this game went and frigging _killed it!_

Not sure if you know this, since you didn't mention it in the video, but Phisnom, the creator of this game, is being paid by Scott Cawthon to make an official remake of the first Five Nights at Freddy's, FNAF+
He's made sure to not reveal much about the game, but the main 4 animatronics have had a major redesign, there will be a really in depth custom night, there will be more than 5 nights (I believe rn the confirmed number is 12-14, with the main 6-7 nights, along with the "+ mode" nights), it also seems to have new mechanics, like you now have to manually move the cameras instead of them automatically scrolling left to right, it seems cameras can be disabled, and Freddy might have a new mechanic relating to the new power room next to the right door, also the Puppet seems to be involved in the game, you can customize the UI and office, and I believe Phisnom has gone on record saying the story won't be the same as the mainline FNAF series
gawddamn
PHIL MADE THIS GAME?! no wonder it gave me major fnaf plus tapes vibes with those mechanics!
@@aug.6259he did
he truly is an amazing game developer
Ahhh him making this makes a shitload of sense tbh. He's a fuckin amazing dev
if a game is made by phisnom you know it's gonna be good
A lot of their games are top notch!
PHIL wrote this?!! _Aw man, FNAF Plus is gonna SUCK~!!_
😂
My earlier comment aged _amazingly..._
@@blackheartzerotheundergrou3225 Some might say... *stupendously*
I love how this game forces you to focus really hard on what you are hearing, just so that when you do get jumpscared it will be even more terrifying.
I was already way too scared for the scrap baby salvage in pizzeria sim (while knowing that it would happen), that I shut the game off when it came up, no way that I'm ever touching this game lol.
So far I've watched all three videos on your channel and I really enjoy listening to the information you give us on each game! I never got to see the ending to this one, since the youtuber I watched the playthrough of this never completed it, but this game scared me so bad. I love the point and click mechanic it has to move to a different place, as well as the lack of color to make it more interesting and standing out to other fnaf fan games. You definitely earned a subscriber out of me, can't wait to hear more! :]
So this video was the first time you got to see the ending? Really happy that you got to enjoy all my videos, hopefully you’ll enjoy the future ones as well!
The scream for the jumpscares is apparently a modified recording of Phisnom himself screaming, which is pretty impressive. I have never heard a more terrifying scream than the one in this game, although The Joy of Creation: Story Mode's scream in the 4th night comes really close.
8:07 I was never expecting a Music Box cover of Break My Mind of all songs, but I appreciate it! Also despite the grim story, your voice is very relaxing, and this video helped me sleep 😅
My theory:
The good ending is William’s good ending and not everyone else’s. Based on the night 5 story this game might take place after fnaf 3, this is William’s 2nd death. After getting the good ending, William can finally escape into his next form: ScrapTrap. The plushie might represent how they’re all still there unable to move on and collecting them is just keeping them trapped with you(William) until fnaf 5.
I feel like this is what five nights at Freddy’s used to feel like, Erie, Unknown, and was genuinely terrifying. Now there’s a ton of lore, and you understand the animatronics almost 100%. That along with the Memes of the game really made it less scary. This definitely helped relive what those early days of Fnaf really felt like.
I love how this game perfectly predicted UCN plot (just with Golden Freddy)
Lol love that with the first night’s story I was like “I have no sympathy for that kid cuz killing the dog is unacceptable to me” and then we find out it was William and I was like “Perfect, I’ve always hated William anyway!” 😂😂😂
Meanwhile, when I learned you were playing as William, I was like, "... Wait, what? Where's this coming from? Wha? The player character has been a blank slate for the entire game! You can't just reveal that a blank slate was a named character like that, especially if that character is gonna keep being a blank slate even after the reveal. That doesn't make any sense!"
They could type entire paragraphs of text telling you how much you suck, but they couldn't devote any of that writing to take us inside of the player character's head? Maybe have a paragraph before each night detailing William's thoughts as he's roaming the place he's trapped in.
have William dismiss the first parts of the puppet's tale as a lame ghost story. It's better to SHOW that the player character has little to no sympathy for the victims of the toy-obsessed child's murderous machinations, than to just TELL you he doesn't, you know?
Have his monologues note that the later parts of the puppet's tale sound eerily familiar to him, enough so for his search for an exit to become more and more desperate. Until finally, he puts the pieces together and begins truly panicking. And THEN you can have the Puppet drop the bomb!
Make his tone go from _"oh wow, big spooky toy child murdered a dog! this is so lame..."_ to _"this is still very stupid and goofy, but something about it..."_ and finally, to _"I gotta get out of here. I remember everything now, and I HAVE to get out of here!"_
This seems like a very fun and immersive game. Kudos to the devs for making something i actually see as great
Return to Bloody Nights should be another contender for most anxiety inducing game
Helping with the algorithm!
Thank you!
Got me to see the video.
Yessir, gotta love the horror genre
Welp, it worked!
Heck you, I'm disliking this comment😡
I'm planning on playing this game someday and man it does genuinely look terrifying and that's something I don't say about horror games.
Also some massive compliments about your style of narration, it's so comforting even with the topic you're presenting.
I knew it was the Puppet immediately, with ot pulling you to safety, wanting to help you, and having the white eyes. I also knew the boy was gonna be Purple guy once it said he was testing trying to make the dolls come to life. I was not expecting us to play as him though
What an amazing video, thank you for this! This game truly captures the true horrors of the franchise, and you even enchanted this stressful feeling with your top notch creepy commentary!
i prefer this story over the main one, it just makes more sense :p
This one is a LOT more simple, there’s countless fnaf timelines that keep changing since there’s parts that literally make no sense ;-;
@insomniacloserxo Especially with how William Afton just keeps coming back. He gets killed in a springlock suit? Nope, he survived! He got left in the suit for 30 years? He survived! He got burned in the amalgamation of metal and flesh that he is? Guess what? HE SURVIVED!! He went to another location and got burned again? *HE FREAKING SURVIVED!!!*
God level fanmade, god level commentary, and godly amazing edit
I played this game on stream a week or two ago. FNAF games don't normally scare me or make me jump, but this game did. I was genuinely afraid. So far only this game and The Return to Bloody Nights have ever made me feel real fear. After beating 20/20/20/20 mode I think the fear factor has worn off a bit but I can still remember the dread and panic I felt.
I absolutely love this channel! I just found it and I’m definitely staying!! Your commentary is easy to understand yet very informative and easy to listen to ^^ good job on this
I love your way of telling the stories of these games. I hope you keep making videos like these that breath life into me. The feeling i get from your narration was eiry and anxious, yet filled with curiosity and interest. Keep up these videos bro!
duuude your narration, and the presentation for this video makes it even more scary! Hopefully this video blows up because this is so underrated keep it up!
Got recommended :) I suspect very strongly that the game's name is a reference to The Shadow Over Innsmouth, but I have never seen anyone point this out so far, not even in the comments which is crazy considering how well-known that story is. I don't know how Lovecraftian the game itself is but yeah.
Same thing I thought! It's a very clear reference to a Shadow over Innsmouth in the name at least
Wow, this purgatory is far better and far more torturous for William than UCN. Great video!
I’m enjoying your videos a lot.
Keep doing what your doing cause this is the best fnaf content around.
Thank you! More is definitely coming out :)
God this channel is so good, keep up the good work. You're doing an amazing job
Thank you! We’re posting usually once a week so hopefully you stick around :)
Underrated channel ngl, the editing is top notch and I love your content. Can't wait to see your channel grow even more :3
Thank you I really appreciate that a lot :)
to be fair he just started uploading like 13 days ago, so hes doing great for just an upstart
Loved the video i really liked your format and the way it was explained I hope to see more content soon !!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video! There’s going to be more soon so stay tuned :)
I can't understand, the quality of this channel is absolutely stand out, and there's only 3 videos, I'm already a fan of this channel and might just subscribe
Plus the fact, i always wanted someone to make a video about this game, because as you said, no one talks about it, and finally there is a video about this wonderful game, couldn't be happier
4 videos and I don’t even need to watch the others to know that they’ll be good. The editing combined with the voiceover and knowledge of the game shows that you are actually passionate about this type of video
Looked it up and its by phisnom??? No wonder its so good. Super excited to see how fnaf+ is gona be now!
Same here!
I swear to God, if the ending of FNAF Plus is _"You're William Afton, f**k you!"_ I'm hunting that slime for sport!
I've got bad news for you 💀
@@blackheartzerotheundergrou3225 lol, lmao
I’m glad I found this person on here it’s cool to see somewhat smaller RUclipsrs
Nice commentary bro, kept me watching the entire video interested with the story and the great visuals of the game and the edit.
Good channel!
Watching this video sealed the deal on me subscribing, you absolutely deserve after making 2 bangers in a row
Dude,your videos are sooo awesome !! Good job,the writing,the explanations,everything is so good !!! I hope to see more of your videos/work,i really enjoy it,youre super cool !!
Bro I don’t think people forgot doors. It’s definitely not as popular as before, but it’s not dead
Very good video! I'll make sure to watch the next one when it comes up.
Glad that you enjoyed this one :)
I love William's bakstory in this fan game, it's just that it perfectly fits and i'm amazed for that
Bruh imagine you wake up at Freddy Fazber Pizza and you see the clock and it's 11 am 💀
nice commentary dude really gave me chills
If i had a nickel for every time William Afton was trapped in a purgatory by one of the MCI victims to get tortured by animatronics for eternity, I would have had two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
I find it funny that in fan games Afton gets capped for the crimes he did and the souls rest but in main games he’s still out there
I had always heard about this game but never looked into it. Great synopsis!! I really appreciated this and now wanna watch the game play! What an awesome fan game, what a great video, love ur voice. Thank you!
i love your videos! i was so excited when i saw your new video in my recommended!! your voice and editing are amazing!
Great Video! This is One of my Favorite Fan Games next to the Jolly Series..
That is truly a good video before I sleep. It's almost 2AM for me...
This game is awesome, ive watched someone play this before and another analizing it, i love it
I really like the music box 'break my mind' version of the song in the background.
Bro love your videos. I swear by the end of the year you will be at 100k
Nicely explained, no complaints about the video
Nice spin on the formula with William, Also would like to see a new antagonist with william having more of a second antagonist role
Great video keep on goin I just subbed
point and click horror games traumatized me, Yknow those games in Y8 games? Yeah those.
The music box music that you put under your voiceover while explaining night 1 is actually an old Polish lullaby!
i remember watching 8bitryan, and fusionzgamer play this. I loved watching both channels playthroughs. Great fan game. Wish it was more well known.
If I played that game, you'd expect to see an ambulance at my house in 5 minutes.
this game Makes TJOC a complete joke to laught about. The Jumpscares are really violent
this game is legit disturbing, I was NOT expecting the death of the dog. I had to pause the video and take a moment to process is all. Holy shit.
ooooh imma pause this and go play it. the art in the cutscenes is really familiar, kind of like the bad dreams series?..
I seriously don't mean this in a weird way, but I get you were trying to go for a dark tone with your voice, but it ended up being soothing 😂
Would love to see you cover Joy of Creation. While I actually liked the demo much better, the story mode final game was still REALLY good!
4:54 im already spooked and have both my eyes wide open. its 10 pm for me also im subscribing
The only thing i dont like about this game is the fact that the dog dies
I really didn't expect this game to be so good the dark twist of William aftons story is done so well in my opinion and the dark and gloomy nature of the game really makes sense for William aftons torture this game is so criminally underrated and I think it needs more attention
It really makes sense how there isint a real good ending you can't escape the torture that you did upon those kids
Also night 1 ending with a dog murder was just so unexpected
Phisnom really is a talented game creator. I think this was his first or second game that he created that is related to FNAF, and he was a teenager when he created this!
I quit the game after the first like 20 minutes when the dog got murdered, the game didnt make me scared, just sad and upset, might just be me but it was honestly just cruel.
4:40 what the dog do he just wanted to play
I know ;-; I hated when that happened
A shadow over Freddy's aka what happens when charlie joins Cassidy in tormenting afton and goes fuckin ham
This man is really good at narrating 😮 ❤
I hope there would be more that type of game because it’s creepy as hell and also very good
Amazing video love your voice dude
Thank you, really appreciate that :)
For some reason it took me till the explanation of night 3 to realize the BGM for the whole video, I hear Fnaf songs in the tune of a music-box. The only ones I could recognize are "Break My Mind" and "Ballora's theme"
I remember when this game just came out, its sad that mark hasn't played this yet
The way he speaks so quietly just makes it more terrifying
Wow, Great videos holy shit. Keep doing what you doing!
Actually, the difference with the good ending is that you don't get trapped inside a springlock suit when you make it to the backroom.
oh god,this fan game is actually really good. I remember playing it, being scared like seriously scared
okokokok this fangame is amazing but i can't stop thinking how you would make a good Puppet voice
Finally after 40 years, William Afton felt remorse for killing like a bajillion kids
Why couldn't THIS be UCN? This fangame seems more interesting, honestly!
Definitely scarier than fnaf Jr's.
I played this when it came out, I was stuck on second night for like a week, but I finished it. Yeah, it was pretty creppy and gameplay was really fun to play
I was not expecting the third night to end with a giraffe murder.
“Who put a rat in my ravioli” type voice
Legit my worst nightmare idk how you played this
the break my mind music box is a nice soundtrack
It really was :)
'we notice that it is the puppet, this revelation changes things' bro I knew it was the puppet from the first scene we see it 💀
Well I know this from phisnom but I'm happy you covered it also
HERES SOME HELP WITH THE ALGORITHM
fr tho you deserve more views
Giving you a heart for the help with the algorithm :)
@@insomniacloserxo giving you a like for the heart for my support of the algorithm
for a start up channel, everything is genuinely superb, subscribed to see your progress as a creator and to enjoy more videos! Will you ever do a review of JR's or maybe different horror franchises?
I remember seeing this when I was younger, the dog part traumatized me for 2 weeks
thank you leafy for the great video!
you could have warned about the jumpscares, holy shit i got scared. you made me drop my croissant
Quaso
I have bad humour. Thanks for the heads up though
Awesome video!
