Secret of the mimic seems to be the best written game in the fnaf series

General

(I keep saying it will be the last time, but I keep finding more things to talk about on here)

I know it’s kind of a low bar for anything that’s decent or even good from fnaf as of today, but I do think in my opinion that secret of the mimic is the best written game in the series.

For one, the story. The story in the game is actually straightforward and easy to follow and only leaves some questions that aren’t that important doesn’t jumble everything into a mess, you can actually look around and find details on what is going on and why which I like about it because it seems like Scott is actually communicating and planning things out and not rushing into things or leaving bigger questions than answers(security breach)

Second reason is the characters. The game has actual good characters because they’re actual characters with depth and personalities that you don’t have to make headcanons about to know what they’re like. The Murray family is easily better written than any other character in the game series, especially the aftons(again, it’s a low bar but it’s still better)

Now there are issues of course like the timeline placement. I can’t really understand how all that took place in the 70s or why the mimic is so strong in the first place and what happened to white tiger after the factory caught fire, and I still don’t care for the mimic, etc

Overall, I think the lore in this game is good, better than anything we got these past years and I think Fnaf is going in a better direction I feel like and I hope that continues
