The Most Terrifying FNAF Fan Game You Never Heard Of (A Shadow Over Freddy's)

Out of all the core FNAF games from Five Nights At Freddy's 1, FNAF 2, FNAF 3, FNAF 4, FNAF Sister Location, and Five Nights At Freddy's Security Breach, I never felt the same amount of fear from those game as I did from playing A Shadow Over Freddy's. This game truly was one of the scariest experiences I had while playing any fnaf fan game. It is a shame that not a lot of people have even talked about it. Even though it is completely free to play, there weren't that many who played it either compared to other more popular games. So, today we are going to explore the most terrifying FNAF fan game that you never heard of. Hopefully you enjoyed this video as much as I did researching it!

I wasn’t expecting the first night to end with a dog murder.

[Miltedink]

I like how there's not really a "good" ending for the character we play as, because even if we get the "good" ending our character will still be tormented by his shadows for the rest of eternity.

The only difference is, is that our character actually shows remorse for what he did and accepts his punishment fully.

I remember I installed this game, played it for 5 minutes, and then uninstalled due how terrifying it was. It was giving me war flashbacks of At Dead Of Night.

[inknteethstudio]

I want more FNAF fan games like this! Instead of repeating the same game mechanics from the original games like so many do, the mechanics are used in a different way and the atmosphere is terrifying along with the ambiance.
I also love how this game portrays William Afton ; a man that causes suffering who also suffers himself. If a new FNAF fan game uses him again as an enemy character, I think he should act as a secondary antagonist and make a new main villain of its story.

[ozzytres]

I find the stories to be a cool interpretation of why William was a murderer. This kinda feels like Charlie’s version of custom night rather than Cassidy

[lunartears]

That’s a neat twist with William Afton. The first story of the boy killing his dog automatically had me predicting he’d be a damn serial killer, and while it’s been done before where a villain/antagonist was later revealed to be the player all along, it still works.

Something beautiful is the jumpscares, it’s not there to rip apart your eardrums. With the quiet and near silent ambience. The sudden “RAAH!” out of nowhere sends you into another plane of thought. The animations are nice and simple with the Animatronic quickly sliding into frame before zooming into the camera. It’s simple but all that’s needed

[giornogiovanna]

Not sure if you know this, since you didn't mention it in the video, but Phisnom, the creator of this game, is being paid by Scott Cawthon to make an official remake of the first Five Nights at Freddy's, FNAF+
He's made sure to not reveal much about the game, but the main 4 animatronics have had a major redesign, there will be a really in depth custom night, there will be more than 5 nights (I believe rn the confirmed number is 12-14, with the main 6-7 nights, along with the "+ mode" nights), it also seems to have new mechanics, like you now have to manually move the cameras instead of them automatically scrolling left to right, it seems cameras can be disabled, and Freddy might have a new mechanic relating to the new power room next to the right door, also the Puppet seems to be involved in the game, you can customize the UI and office, and I believe Phisnom has gone on record saying the story won't be the same as the mainline FNAF series

[judegreypotatoes]

if a game is made by phisnom you know it's gonna be good

[draco]

The scream for the jumpscares is apparently a modified recording of Phisnom himself screaming, which is pretty impressive. I have never heard a more terrifying scream than the one in this game, although The Joy of Creation: Story Mode's scream in the 4th night comes really close.

So far I've watched all three videos on your channel and I really enjoy listening to the information you give us on each game! I never got to see the ending to this one, since the youtuber I watched the playthrough of this never completed it, but this game scared me so bad. I love the point and click mechanic it has to move to a different place, as well as the lack of color to make it more interesting and standing out to other fnaf fan games. You definitely earned a subscriber out of me, can't wait to hear more! :]

[AceTechn]

8:07 I was never expecting a Music Box cover of Break My Mind of all songs, but I appreciate it! Also despite the grim story, your voice is very relaxing, and this video helped me sleep 😅

[orecraft]

My theory:
The good ending is William’s good ending and not everyone else’s. Based on the night 5 story this game might take place after fnaf 3, this is William’s 2nd death. After getting the good ending, William can finally escape into his next form: ScrapTrap. The plushie might represent how they’re all still there unable to move on and collecting them is just keeping them trapped with you(William) until fnaf 5.

[carsontenbroeck]

I feel like this is what five nights at Freddy’s used to feel like, Erie, Unknown, and was genuinely terrifying. Now there’s a ton of lore, and you understand the animatronics almost 100%. That along with the Memes of the game really made it less scary. This definitely helped relive what those early days of Fnaf really felt like.

[Kurotitan]

Return to Bloody Nights should be another contender for most anxiety inducing game

[supertrike]

I love how this game perfectly predicted UCN plot (just with Golden Freddy)

[rileyinscoe]

I knew it was the Puppet immediately, with ot pulling you to safety, wanting to help you, and having the white eyes. I also knew the boy was gonna be Purple guy once it said he was testing trying to make the dolls come to life. I was not expecting us to play as him though

[nyhom]

What an amazing video, thank you for this! This game truly captures the true horrors of the franchise, and you even enchanted this stressful feeling with your top notch creepy commentary!

[helloimskip]

I'm planning on playing this game someday and man it does genuinely look terrifying and that's something I don't say about horror games.

Also some massive compliments about your style of narration, it's so comforting even with the topic you're presenting.

[ItsAK]

This seems like a very fun and immersive game. Kudos to the devs for making something i actually see as great
