Review: Five Nights at Ralseis:

This game is an interesting concept, trying to combine two well known game franchises into one fanmade game. A big project for sure. 

Gameplay: The game is fairly unbalanced. For example, having all doors closed and lights on does not consume alot of power, making you able to keep said protections online for the whole game without going out of energy, which trivialises the whole concept of the game in the first place.
Other than that, the gameplay feels good, being very smooth and mostly on the point.

Characters: What we've gotten in terms of characters is Ralsei, a darkner-Goat prince from Deltarune, and three, most likely fanmade, differently colored versions of him. There is no lore or characterisation for any of the three antagonists given.

Music/Sounds: Nonexistent except for the jumpscare sound, which was of decent quality.

Bugs: Sadly a whole plephora of them, including but not limited to:
-Using the camera randomly closing the right door
-Keeping on the lights making antagonists unable to get closer to you, making them become stuck in the hallway
-The password-based save system being (In my case) unusable because of the UI not reacting to input
-The antagonists periodically not moving at all all night long
Blue Ralsei periodically becoming pink Ralsei when he jumpscares you

Conclusion: The game is still in its very early stages and I recommend waiting for a few updates and bug-fixes before playing. Nonetheless, if you are a fan of strategy games like Five Nights at Freddy's, then this will surely be a treat to try out!

(Note to the creator: If you're unsure of using sounds, just try using royalty-free music from the web. You dont need licensing for using them. Also consider adding a CREDITS tab in the main menu to fairly credit your work. Seeing how you are most likely a newbie, this isnt all that bad work for starters, dont let this review keep you from enhancing your skills to make better work in the future!)
