Review | “Lally’s Game: FNAF Tales from the Pizzaplex Volume One” by Scott Cawthon, Kelly Para, and Andrea Waggener

This review will contain spoilers.

First published on July 19th, 2022, by Scholastic Inc., “Lally’s Game” is the first book in the latest series of short stories being published about the video game series “Five Nights at Freddy’s”. Dubbed, “Tales from the Pizzaplex”, this latest series delves into further horrors from the FNAF universe, including tales connected to the latest location from video game “Security Breach”, “Freddy Fazbear’s Mega Pizzaplex”.

This series is very much in the same style as the “Fazbear Frights” books, containing three short stories and a bonus mini story with lore implications for the series as a whole. Whilst “FF” had a bonus story all about a character known as the Stitchwraith, it appears as though “Pizzaplex” is going to focus on the construction of the mall and why the FNAF 6 location is situated underneath it.

I listened to this as an audiobook, as I’ve done with the majority of the FNAF books, so I’ll also be talking a little bit about that as well.
