Why Phone Guy Being a Bad Tutorial Is a Good Thing

Phone Guy from Five Nights at Freddy’s is technically one of the worst tutorials in gaming history. He gives you bad advice, omits crucial mechanics, and doesn’t even survive his own training program… That is exactly why the original Five Nights at Freddy's works. In this video, I break down why optimizing FNaF 1 kills its horror and explain why the tutorial we got doesn’t. This tutorial is a masterclass in unintentional horror design. Watch my previous video to see me nitpick Phone Guy’s advice in full detail and truly grade him! : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv4tqpuhgSo Info Source Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FglwH1710gg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOYQJJ6IcJo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DfCRVKLUuA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPFsuc_M_3E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raQNjzLLtKs (I unfortunately cannot put a link, but the technical fnaf wiki was instrumental in making this video) Otherwise Referenced Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I71EZFfGpQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5E4ZJQoNrA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5GfhGFVCFE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egYTAXLRsqM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXtVrNdD3YA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOztnsBPrAA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPFsuc_M_3E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGAPCYGSyg8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrp_QGFVTkg https://www.youtube.com/live/t3BVB_s8T0U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpPr5yoq5EI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp33GwEgM7Y This video took somewhere between 30-40 hours to make between rewrites and full on re-recordings (Plus correcting some of my 1st-3rd draft inaccuracies lol).
