The Game Jolt version upgraded the overworld's graphics to pre-rendered 3D.
After each battle, all characters, including those who may have been knocked out, are restored to full health. The player can also swap the current party with the reserve at any time. Once a turn is used, the player has to wait for some time until the next turn begins. The commands have different color tags and have different impacts, including healing the team (pink), providing status buffs (white), single-target attacks (orange), area attacks (red), poisonous attacks (green), and possible instant-kill attacks (black), among others. For each turn, the player is given choices for each character and must choose one of their three commands, which differ depending on the characters. The battles consist of turn-based random encounters, with several boss battles. Upon defeating an enemy, the player will gain experience points and "Faz Tokens", which are used to buy upgrades such as "chips" and "bytes" to aid the player during the game. Many enemy characters can be found throughout the game, each exclusive to their own area, which can be battled with. Initially, the world was depicted in a 2D Atari-like style, but as of Version 1.2 released in May 2016, the world has been redesigned into that of a pre-rendered 3D style.
Once new areas are revealed and a special button is pressed in them, the player can use "jumping" to teleport between each area through an overworld map. The gameplay consists of exploring through the game world and accessing new areas. These tips frequently break the fourth wall due to Fredbear's seeming awareness of the situation he is placed in. Along the way, a character known as Fredbear will give the player tips on what to do next. As the player continues, they collect more characters to place in their party, with there being 40 characters available in total from across the first four games.
The starter characters, the original and toy versions of the first main games characters, can all be swapped in and out of the party. The player starts by choosing two parties consisting of four characters each. The game also has two difficulty levels to choose from, Normal and Hard. Going through the path on the right but going downwards will lead to Nightmarionne next to Foxy.EXE, and Coffee and Jack-O-Bonnie next to FNaF 57: Freddy in Space.The player has two modes to play in: Adventure and Fixed Party.Going through the path on the right then going upwards goes to a big mansion, Jack-O-Chica and Nightmare BB and a portal to Foxy Fighters.
Through the path on the right, there is Animdude who will talk about how he was demoted from Final Boss after being beaten and used for code for a game about a rainbow.Downwards is a sprite version of the Purpleguy who talks about a secret path that leads to this graveyard at the start of the game.Going back into the portal will take the player back to Fazbear Hills.Near the entrance, Fredbear is there to explain what the location is for.It's also home to some mansion-like buildings. A lot of leaves fly by and crows can be heard chirping away. Occasionally there are some rocks and scarecrows. Follow the secret path to find the warp into the Backstage area.īackstage of the Halloween Update is a very Halloween-themed location with dead trees, a dark dirt ground and jack-o-lanterns that act as a light source. Hold left while going into the tree there for several seconds until Freddy phases into the trees. From the Jump Point in Fazbear Hills, head up and left until Freddy is directly to the north-west of the windmill between two rocks positioned diagonally from each other. Hold left while standing in this position to access the secret area.Within the new area, Purpleguy mentions a secret path leading into the Backstage area from the beginning of the game. After his dialogue, a portal will open granting access to the new area. After talking to him and leaving his house, Fredbear will appear outside to tell the player in a defeated manner about another issue arising. Upon beating either Normal Mode or Hard Mode, the player must visit Desk Man in his home.
