The music in the game plays a crucial role, particularly through the music box that must be wound to subdue a puppet-like entity. Players must manage the music box's winding while using a flashlight to detect approaching animatronics, adding tension to the gameplay. The reliance on the music box creates a unique dynamic, as its failure can lead to dire consequences.
“The music box on the prize counter must constantly be wound, and your flashlight is your only means of detecting animatronics as they make their way towards you, either through the vents or the hallway.”
“During our second attempt at night two, the music box ran out and quit playing.”
“That music box on the prize counter must constantly be wound, and your flashlight is your only means of detecting animatronics as they make their way towards you, either through the vents or the hallway.”
“No worrying about running out of total power, just flashlight power and winding the music box.”

The story is praised for its intriguing and well-crafted backstory, offering a significant improvement over earlier installments in the series. However, some players feel that the lack of explicit narrative details from Scott Cawthon detracts from the overall experience, leading to mixed feelings about the storytelling approach.
“The backstory is smartly crafted and very intriguing.”
“The only reason I give it 4/5 is because Scott Cawthon provides no story for the game.”
“Easily a better story than the first few nights, but in Five Nights at Freddy's case, sometimes less is more.”
