The Joy of Creation: Halloween Edition

About The Joy of Creation: Halloween Edition

The Joy of Creation: Halloween Edition is a free fan game by Nikson, released in 2016 as a standalone follow-up to The Joy of Creation, with an animator, a writer and music by Nathan Hanover. It is a Windows download on Game Jolt, with a Lite edition that strips out wires and clutter for slower PCs.

Its tagline sets it up: the metal groans and shrieks, the flesh rips, the body is on its very last stand, but the desire for vengeance is stronger than ever, and now it is his turn. The one enemy is Springtrap, ignited and decayed, and the place is Fazbear's Fright, the horror attraction of the third FNAF game.

You are free to roam its blue-lit corridors and back rooms in first person. Your aim is to find what you need to destroy the building and free what haunts it; your tools are borrowed from the series: cameras to see where he is, a sound you can play to draw him somewhere else, and a phone. You crouch to stay quiet, and when he finds you, there is no fighting back.

It asks for a reasonably strong PC. It suits players who liked hiding from Springtrap in the official games and want to do it on foot.

How to play The Joy of Creation: Halloween Edition

1. Download the free version, or the Lite edition for slower PCs, from the game's Game Jolt page.
2. Press Tab to see your objective, and explore Fazbear's Fright in first person.
3. Switch cameras with the left mouse button to see where Springtrap is.
4. Play a sound with the right mouse button to lure him away from where you need to go.
5. Crouch with C to stay hidden, and complete the objectives without being caught.

Tips

• Check the cameras before you move into a new hall.
• Use the sound lure to send him to the far side of the building first.
• If the game stutters, the Lite edition removes the wires on walls and floors.
