I had been eyeing this one for a while. I’ve always found Five Nights at Freddy’s captivating. I remember watching Markiplier’s videos of his gameplay when it was first becoming popular back when I was in high school.

Picking this up, I didn’t know what to expect. I found the story moved quickly. Some parts felt rushed. I wish we had gotten some more of the story, maybe a longer-length graphic novel. I found it enjoyable, but I didn’t love it. I wasn’t blown away.

I will say I’ll probably still pick up the others. Just to see how they are. But unless you really enjoyed FNAF, you might not enjoy this one.

Since reading this, I have discovered this is a full-length novel, so I might read that and revisit this to see if my thoughts have changed. If you're interested in this graphic novel, I'd suggest checking out the novel first.
