The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting numerous glitches and bugs that significantly disrupt gameplay, especially in co-op mode. While some find the experience enjoyable when it functions properly, the overall consensus is that the game is currently too unstable to recommend.
“The game is in a very buggy state and stuff kept breaking when I was playing with a friend, but it was really funny with the bugs. I would buy and keep this if it was in a more stable version.”
“The game was pretty fun when it worked, but the amount of glitches makes this game not worth playing.”
“This game is very fun in co-op mode; however, after night three it gets really buggy; the doors and cameras stop working at random.”

The gameplay has been criticized for its lack of originality, as it closely mirrors previous installments with only minor updates like new textures and toys. Players have noted that the difficulty feels inconsistent, with some mechanics not functioning as expected, and the absence of movement options in single-player mode limits accessibility. Overall, the experience could benefit from a fresh map layout and innovative gameplay mechanics.
“The first time I completed the 20/20/20/20 mode, it took me around 4 tries since I was already accustomed to the mechanics at play, but I was able to beat it in just one try after resetting the difficulty.”
“The gameplay is mostly identical (up to every camera angle) except for the new textures and toys haunting you.”
“There isn't any type of movement during gameplay (at least for singleplayer) so you're relying on real life movement which isn't always possible (having a small room or different disabilities) so I suggest adding at least a teleportation method.”
“This would've been a lot more enjoyable if it had an original map layout and some original mechanics.”

The review does not provide any insights into the game's story, focusing instead on technical aspects related to settings and sound volume. Therefore, no summary can be made regarding the story aspect.
“The only settings in the game are a microphone and sound volume bar on the main menu screen, and I've also tried modifying the sound button, but it didn't actually lower the game volume, so I had to manually lower my Quest 2 volume.”
“I've played the game on my Quest 2 via Air Link.”

The humor in the game is highlighted as both funny and scary, particularly when played with a friend. While the comedic elements are enjoyable, the presence of bugs adds an unexpected layer of humor, though players express a desire for a more stable version to enhance the experience.
“It's very funny, but also scary, especially with a friend!”
“The game is in a very buggy state, and stuff kept breaking when I was playing with a friend, but it was really funny with the bugs. I would buy and keep this if it was in a more stable version.”

The game's optimization is generally well-received, offering good performance; however, some users feel that the price point of €9.75 is not justified given the limited content compared to other titles like FNAF: Help Wanted, which is priced higher but offers more value.
