Meanwhile, developer Steel Wool Games has developed four mainlineFNaFgames so far, includingSecurity Breach.
The same developer will be picking up where they left off with the upcomingSecret of the Mimic.
The Mimic is a sophisticated skeleton that can mimic your voice and behavior.
Youll probably remember his character as the primary antagonist ofSecurity Breach’s RuinDLC.
Story
At present,Security Breachis the biggest game in theFNaFfranchise.
It features a free-roam style of gameplay, so you could explore the environment at your own pace.
In that sense, you spend plenty of your playthrough discovering hidden secrets.
All the while, youll be evading deadly animatronics.
You may have to hide from them or distract them with paint cans and toys.
The key characters inSecurity Breachare Gregory, the primary protagonist, and Vanessa, the main antagonist.
Youll meet many more characters, including the animatronics that are the main enemies youll face.
But also, Vanny and Freddy tie the whole narrative together with a bow.
Overall, the story is funny and scary, too.
You do have moments of genuine fright, but you also see jump scares coming from a mile away.
If anything, the bugs were the main source of frustration, rather than the story or gameplay.
However, the developer has also been steadfast in releasing patch updates.
As a result, the story bathes in a genuinely fun, family-friendly experience.
Secret of the Mimic, on the other hand, is likely to shine its spotlight on The Mimic.
Having a primary antagonist who mimics your voice and behavior has the potential for some truly spooky encounters.
Players can freely roam around in the shopping mall, with no restriction tying them to a specific area.
it’s possible for you to also discover hidden secrets as you explore while also engaging with some minigames.
On paper, it all sounds interesting.
However,Security Breachdropped the ball on implementation.
Many of these issues have been ironed out through patch updates.
Now, all eyes are on theSecret of the Mimic.
Verdict
Its too early to say whetherSecret of the Mimicwill be better thanSecurity Breach.
The upcoming game will likely focus on The Mimic as the primaryantagonist.
Beyond that, we hope for a high-performing game with fluid gameplay and engaging content.
TheFNaFfranchise has always been able to induce genuine panic in fans, all in good fun, of course.
