Fetch
by Andrea Waggener, Scott Cawthon, Carly Anne West
Fetch: Ending was super open which isn't always a bad thing, but come on I want some gory shit from a Five Nights at Freddy's short story. Bloody sheets just aren't gonna do it for me. The concept of an AI with the intent to please the owner, without realizing and adhering to moral boundaries or even plotting to do it maliciously in the first place, is one of the more interesting concepts that's been introduced throughout the franchise.
Lonely Freddy: Kind of forgot that this was a short story from the FNAF franchise, because, similar to some of the other stories at times, the narrative about the creepy animatronics haunted by dead children murdered by a purple man takes a back seat in order to give the attention to whatever angsty "unloved" child is the protagonist. The latter half of the story was solid, the idea of the consciousness swap was interesting, and the dynamic of Alec and Hazel had the potential to be really cool. The horror felt a bit more gimmicky? I don't know, it felt really slow the majority of the time which caused Alec's character development to really drag.
Out of Stock: Having a protagonist who is able to have a somewhat clear idea of who they are and what their place in life is, makes the story a lot more readable. Sure, still an emotional 12 year old kid, but the relationships with his mum and his friends felt more compelling and real rather than having a parent there for the sake of having a parent character. Plushtrap felt a bit underutilized, and the story did suffer for it slightly by feeling like the shortest of the three.
