i think its a great SFW DEMO the slow pace of cameras makes it more challenging since i'm used to the oldest builds where not even the speed of light would succeed in the party level

Honestly I think the most punishing part with the plushie is how slow the cameras pan.  The longer it takes the camera to pan from left to right the more sanity you lose and the more sanity you lose the longer it takes to swap cameras making things just snowball so quickly.


Otherwise I think it is a fine mechanic.  Maybe make it so it can't be stolen while below a certain threshold or something but I don't know if that's necessary.  Or maybe could try to come up with a mechanic where the player can get one of the girls (probably Maddie or Ari) to return it to them when they stop in but that comes with a cost.

Yeah, it definitely has led to some fun moments of panicked searching as I hear banging on the doors, but the camera pan speed makes it a chore.

Some voicelines like:"I'll be taking/borrowing this" could be helpful too. The first time I tried a demo I didn't know if it was gone forever or not until I stumbled across it, but the difficulty was low enough that I probably would have been fine without it for most of the night.

Honestly, I can see Maddie doing that. She's such a cinnamon roll.

I, myself didn't really have a problem with the plushy being stolen as I have beaten the 5 nights but it got me thinking.

It might be more fluid and easyer for the player as well to introduce some visual ques as to what the girls are up to and doing.

For example cause sammy is a magician (I believe due to the hat) when the plushie is about to get stolen when you watch her trough the camera she will take the plushie out of her hat before making it dissapear again.

For the bomb poppy could put the rabit and the bomb down and you watch it go to the nearest vent by whatever means would fit lorewise.


All in all I think it would be nicer to see them do more stuff and walk around more. And interact more with what they do like sammy's new mechanic , speaking off. 

I like the demo and I find sammy's mechanic also fun even though I didn't get it at first.
Overal I can only say good job.

So the last question I would have is when can you pet her?

And here i thought Sammy was supposed to block the player only.

I actualy didnt know that she was the reason the plushie got stolen.
Also trying to find said plushie in the first place when it was gone was way harder then it was supposed to be. Not to mention that interacting in the cameras was sometimes wonky so would have to back out of the cameras, and then directly to where you saw it in order to interact with it.
