History YMMV / TheJoyOfCreationReborn

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: ...Or rather [[RandomEventsPlot Alternative Plot Interpretation]]. Since the only clear factor of the timeline in Story Mode is that the story plays out on exactly the same single night all the way through, everything else about the timeline is ambivalent, and the game's reason to exist is ambivalent too. So are the origins of the animatronics the player has to battle against, along with the ending. The Basement level is an attribute for this confusion since, unlike every other level, the protagonist's true identity on that particular level is made unclear.

* SignatureScene: Ignited Bonnie's jumpscare, where he screams before punching you in the face, is possibly the most famous jumpscare in ''FNAF'' fangame history.

* AccidentalAesop: In the Bedroom memory, Nick's methods of avoiding the Ignited's detection will greatly reduce his {{sanity| meter}} when applied more than necessary. This easily applies the message that understanding and undertaking of fear is necessary for survival, but being overwhelmed by fear is substantially detrimental to such survival as well.

** While the Bedroom isn't a cakewalk, most players struggle with the Living Room due to Foxy and Freddy increasing speed to the point where slowing them down and timing their (and Bonnie's) appearances to hide in time for each become more and more of a hassle. Add in Chica who will stun you if you spend too long at the cameras, and it complicates things further.
** A moderate example with the Office, due to some major GuideDangIt in regards to [[spoiler:Freddy, who will kill you if you don't stun him enough times, which is hardly even hinted at in the messages]], and Bonnie, who will likely knock out all your cameras with very little warning if you don't anticipate it the first few times around.
* TheWoobie: Scott does not have it easy in this game. He cancelled his franchise that appears to have been long forgotten since then, and it only seems to get worse for him from there. ''Much'' worse. His wife Val and their child Nick aren't any better.

** A version of Springtrap that's been in a fire and is missing his costume's lower jaw? Are we talking about Ignited Springtrap, or [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach Burntrap]]?

* PlayTheGameSkipTheStory: While the narrative isn't bad, the game's strongest and most praised point is its gameplay.

* BetterThanCanon: Gameplay-wise at least, the fangame is often admitted to be really well done, with a ton of various different gameplay styles in both the Endless mode and Story mode. The mechanics are sometimes praised of being better than the ones in the official series.

* BreatherLevel: GuideDangIt in regards to Freddy aside, the Office is generally agreed to be a lot easier than the levels that come before and after it. Bonnie knocking out cameras seems bad at first, but is actually be a blessing in disguise, as Foxy cannot appear at doors that have a broken camera.
