Short thoughts on each of the stories:

Step Closer: it's not a bad story, but it is hurt by the fact that this formula has been overused in the previous collections. Makes it feel uninspired, unoriginal. It's basically Lonely Freddy repackaged.

Dance With Me: opposite of Step Closer by actually breaking away from the Fazbear Frights formula. It's nothing special, and the whole mechanic of this story was kind of weird to me. That's strange to say about a FNaF story which are inherently weird, but it's missing some of that good old supernatural logic that is actually present in the overarching series.

Coming Home: Some actual FNaF lore!! Figuring out what was going on was maybe a bit too easy, I wish it took a bit longer to understand the situation. I really enjoyed this one, and it again breaks away from the pre-set notions of what a FNaF story should look like. But to me, it just wasn't too impactful. Sorry, Susie.
