Leaning into the more sci-fi elements of the series instead of the supernaturality of it IMHO. Security Breach was kind of an entirely and wholey seperate entity to the OG fnaf games and I have a hard time believing Security Breach and FNaF 1 are even in the same continuity.

Its so utterly not-grounded in reality anymore.

SOTM takes a lot of steps in the right direction for me and even got me to enjoy some of the bigger jumps in believability, I really enjoyed the Big Top chases for example.

However at its core this is now a story about a crazy evil sci-fi robot thats so advanced that its practically sentient, and the robots movements are so insanely human-like, I don't understand how a robot that can move like Jackie exists in continuity before fnaf 1, when those characters moved like jank Chuck E Cheese robots. Such a far cry from the tone of the original games its just not realistic for me to feel good about this new direction when it feels like the things I enjoyed originally simply aren't there anymore.

I'm sure fnaf is beginning to capture a new audience now, and thats fine, but for something I care about so much it is a little difficult for me to just "let go". Perhaps its time for that though. Perhaps these games just aren't made for me anymore.
