    So this is what we've come to? Every indie horror game from now on has to get compared to Five Nights At Freddy's?

    News flash: jump scares don't make everything an FNAF clone ..... jump scares weren't invented in 2014... they've been a staple of horror since horror has existed. Furthermore, Tattletail has in no way resembles its game mechanic or narrative. The only thing the two games have in common is that they're horror games, and maybe the "cute is scary" factor. So if you're just going to compare every indie horror game to FNAF, you're gonna have a bad time. It's like watching Jaws and comparing it to The Exorcist.

    Like with most atmospheric games, there has to be a minimum of buy-in from the player here. If you just sit back and say "okay, Tattletail, BLOW MY MIND," you're already doing it wrong. But if you just get into the mood it sets and judge it on its own merits, you will find it's a wonderfully creepy little piece of first-person gaming with some pretty fresh concepts.

    Or you can go on judging this game based on a standard it has nothing to do with, end up disappointed, and have nobody to blame but yourself. Your choice.    … Expand

    A painfully average game, just another "ooo, look at me so scared" game for let's players. I don't recommend it, as it is incredibly shallow. FNAF this is not.

    Other people say it copied fnaf because it has jumpscares in it. I say it's inspiration. Whatever it is, the game overall is good. There's charm. Gameplay with obvious flaws, but it is still fun. The difficulty curve is perfect. The ending wasn't too satisfying, though.

    For five bucks, I think it's worth a try.

    Typical 3D horror game, nothing very special about it. It does a good job of making a creepy atmosphere, and the mechanics in the game do a good job of making the game scarier without making it complicated, but it's basically five nights at freddy

    This game is awesome for what it's trying to be. Because this game isn't trying to be an amazing horror game or anything it's simply trying to be a short but scary experience and it does that very well. And for that, I applaud the game and its developers. (AND FOR THE LOVE OF THE LORD STOP SAYING THIS GAME CLONED FNAF)

    While it’s by no means perfect, Tattletail goes beyond mere jump-scares and delivers an experience that is genuinely and persistently frightening.
