The Walten Files

The one thing you'll notice as soon as you start watching is how closely it resembles FNaF, but it does just enough mixing and matching elements of its inspiration that it has equal parts original story (a much simpler one, by comparison) and inspired or borrowed ideas that you can appropriately call it inspired and not a mishmash of parts and pieces with names shuffled around.

My critiques for this series are very few. The story is easy to follow, the art style is true to the theme of the series, which adds to the creep factor, the lore is my god, SO GOOD, and it does require a bit of thought to process some things shown. For something that was originally a fan game of FNaF, it's actually really good. But positive things aside, I will get into my very few critiques. (This is not a complaint but I will say the series is very gory and there is LOTS of body horror, real screaming, distorted faces, eye contact, and realistic animation.* The story can drag on at times, but is overall easy to follow. There are times where you are left at a point where you have no idea what is happening. The story is a bit too inspired by FNaf, but I'll let it slide because they put an amazing twist on it. I enjoyed the extra videos they hid inside, but I wish there was more. That's it. Enjoy the series. Peace.

Interesting plot and characters, great spooky moments, and despite being animated on a phone, the art style is very interesting and benefits the series. The show uses very few jumpscares despite what it's originally based and instead relies on psychological horror and dreadful moments.

The Walten Files is absolutely one of the most perfectly written and put together web series I've watched. I absolutely love this series and hope it gets the attention it deserves.

This is one of the most interesting Fnaf inspired spin-offs I've ever seen. I think the animation mixed with live action is so cool and is a nice contrast. The story is really sad and is about the failings of humans and their relationships with some animatronics and murder mixed in. Overall, I enjoyed this SO much and I highly recommend for anyone that loves Fnaf and/or horror!
