We'll still see hints of the old school FNAF games, as Gregory is able to access security cameras in the building to plan escape routes. There's a suggestion in old FNAF lore that the bots are possessed by the souls of dead children (cheery stuff), so perhaps Freddy is protecting this young boy so he doesn't end up a murder machine too. Then again, in most of the other games we've played as adult characters (as night security, mostly). Interestingly, he'll be helped by Freddy himself, who's been a main deathbot in most of the other games. He's stuck inside a Pizzaplex (lol) and needs to survive until morning while uncovering the truth about the freaky animatronics who're programmed to hunt down intruders. Security Breach is a first-person survival horror where you play as a kid named Gregory. (And yes I know that Sister Location and FNAF VR don't lock you into the camera thing, but they still didn't let you just run around all willy-nilly.)
This is the eighth mainline game in the long-running pizzeria-based horror series (I know, there are loads of spin-offs too), and for the first time it will let players properly roam free, rather than be tied to a desk monitoring cameras. Five Nights At Freddy's: Security Breach launched last night, inviting players to fend off a whole new crew of animatronics. You know what Christmas was missing? The unmatched fear of being chased by terrifying killer robots through a shopping mall.
