The player can find glitchy cassette tapes scattered throughout the game, which contain logs recorded by a female employee working on the game. They inadvertently released a malevolent entity in the form of a non-animatronic Spring Bonnie costume into the game. Instructed to scan these into their system to expedite the game's development.
During development, the development team was sent a box full of parts from the old animatronics, particularly their PCBs. The game was originally developed by the company "Silver Parasol Games". Sometime after the event of FNaF 3, in an attempt to counter their reputation as dangerous (caused largely by the events of the original Five Nights at Freddy's saga), Fazbear Entertainment has commissioned the Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience, a virtual reality game based on the legends about the various locations.
From a first-person perspective, players explore dark hallways, complete puzzles, and try to avoid menacing, malfunctioning animatronic figures. This is a VR puzzle/horror game in which players assume the role of a repair person tasked with monitoring/repairing animatronic characters at a pizzeria.
Unlike its original VR counterpart, it is available on more gaming platforms outside of Windows and PlayStation 4 at a later date, such as Nintendo Switch which was released on May 21st, 2020, Oculus Quest on July 16th, 2020, iOS and Android on October 27th, 2020, as well as Xbox One on October 29th, 2020. There is also a story available through collecting hidden cassette tapes throughout the game. The game is a canonical continuation of Scott Cawthon's original series.Ī non-VR required update of the game was released on December 17, 2019. It also features many returning characters and locations from the past games and different game segments the player can pick from. The game focuses on the player surviving minigames based on segments from previous games, as well as new ones, such a repairing animatronics, revisiting the first three games, repairing ventilation systems, and more. The game was going to be released on May 21st, 2019, until it was delayed to the 28th.
