Soft Reboot

## System requirements

Microsoft Edge

**Soft Reboot** (aka **The Past Terrors 3**) was a "Five Nights at Freddy's" fangame developed by, Kahle Mazza.

## Story

September 17, 2000; You take the role of a man by the name of Luther Archer You have suffered through amnesia and insomnia. But now you have seen yourself awoken on the floor of a rotten facility. A facility that holds many terrible secrets. A facility holding the screams of children and workers. A facility meant for torture….

## Overall Gameplay

In all of the demos in the game, they all feature a free-roam mechanic, along with a flashlight. In the final demo of the game, there is a sanity mechanic known as the nyctophobia meter. If the player were to stay in the dark for too long, it would rise until the player goes insane! And if the player had his flashlight on for too long, the battery would eventually die. Making the final demo the most intense demo of them all.

A few months after the rebranding of the game, the developer released a tech demo to show the players what has been done so far! The developer did say in the now-deleted post that the game will show its newly coded advanced AI. The free roam, flashlight, and nyctophobia meter has been completely removed! It is unknown if the game will eventually have those features, but it is hard to tell. It could be predicted that the game will take on the "Five Nights at Wario's 3" style. But that theory is not fact.

## Trivia

* Soft Reboot was originally called "The Past Terrors 3". Clearly signifying that it is the third installment of the trilogy.
* The developer at one point abandoned the game to then work on a different project called, "Golden Entwine." That game was then abandoned 2 months later, and the developer then temporarily left GameJolt.
	+ When the developer returned to GameJolt, he started the development of this game all over again.
* The developer originally disliked this game due to it being too similar to "The Return To Freddy's 5." Or as the developer nicknamed the game, "Bootleg TRTF 5." That is until the game got its reboot.
* In the original game, there were several more animatronics in the roaster.
	+ Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, Fredbear, etc; were removed from the game entirely.
* The game was originally going to take place on September 19, 1984. But the day was later changed to September 17, 2000.
* In the previous demos of the game (excluding the tech demo), there was a free roam mechanic, a flashlight, and a nyctophobia meter (aka the sanity mechanic).
* Unlike Past Terrors 1 and Past Terrors 2, this game will be leaning more into the story and will be very puzzle based.
* In the tech demo of the loading screen; instead of labeling the night "Night 1," it was instead labeled as "Endless Mode." Implying that there maybe an Endless Mode to the game.
* There is a prediction that the game will release in mid-2023, or late 2023.
