Five Nights at Freddy’s World creator Scott Cawthon has admitted that he has released the game in a less than finished state.
“This isn’t exactly an announcement that I’m enjoying writing, but it’s one that I feel I owe to the community,” wrote Scott on Steam. “You know, I’ve been accused of rushing my games ever since FNaF 1, but I’ve never felt that I’d released a game too early… until now.”
“There are a lot of features that this game should have had before release, features that I was told about, but ignored and didn’t implement. Features such as being able to see what abilities do during battle, or being able to see a stats page for your characters. These are features that any good RPG would have,” he added.
“I got too eager to show the things that were finished, that I neglected to pay attention to the things that weren’t. I’m going to fix this, and I’ll be updated the game with these features in the coming weeks.”

The game was meant to be out on 19th February but popped up on Steam last week. It has mostly positive reviews on the platform but there are a number of complaints, “Next time Scott, please don’t hype a game and then rush it into the ground and turn into a pile of horse crap,” was one of them.
UPDATE: The game has now been pulled from Steam and refunds will be issued to all who purchased the game. Once Scott has finished all the additional work the game will be re-released, for free, on GamingJolt.
