Down to his last dollar and sleeping rough, Andre’s desperation leads him to BonBon’s—a neon-lit diner offering a lifeline: guard the glitchy animatronics overnight, earn cash, keep the roof overhead. The gig seems simple until his first shift, when BonBon’s mascot, a rabbit with a flickering smile, whispers a warning in perfect English. As the machines’ quirks escalate into unsettling sentience, Andre uncovers faded employee logs hinting at disappearances. Are these robots yearning for freedom… or luring him into a trap set by something far older lurking beneath the diner?
Gameplay
1. Glitch Triage: Use a jury-rigged toolkit to stabilize malfunctioning animatronics mid-shift—overfix a bear’s voicebox, and it might recite coordinates to a hidden vault; ignore a fox’s twitching paw, and it could slash the power grid.
2. Shift Roulette: Survive randomized “incident cycles” each night—sabotage security cameras to explore restricted areas, or play along with the bots’ eerie tea parties to extract clues about missing staff.
3. Morality Overclock: Forge bonds with specific animatronics by fulfilling their cryptic requests (e.g., retrieve a doll from the dumpster), but favor one too much, and jealous rivals may turn hostile.
Key Features
1. Living Code: Animatronics adapt to your choices—repeatedly fix a wolf’s broken leg, and it begins limping theatrically to distract you from its thefts.
2. Diner Archaeology: Scour grease-stained menus, sticky-note riddles, and arcade high scores to reconstruct the diner’s dark history, piece by piece.
3. Ambient Dread: The soundtrack shifts subtly based on animatronic moods—a fox’s jaunty showtune slows into a funeral dirge as it corners you near the freezer.
Pro Tips
1. Battery Barter: Hoard spare batteries from repair jobs—trade them to the duck animatronic for access to its black-market stash of keycards.
2. Fault Theater: Trigger intentional glitches during customer hours (e.g., spill soda on a dancer’s circuit) to create diversions for sneaking into the manager’s office.
3. Voice Mimicry: Replay recorded animatronic laughter through the PA system to confuse patrolling bots, buying time to disable alarms.
