Information

After completing the mini-games, players can replay them again in a nightmare mode of some sorts, which cranks up the difficulty and distraction in every game. Upon fully completing the game, players are treated to an end game which expands upon the lore of the games.

New Animatronics

 * PlushBaby- As confirmed by Scott Cawthon, the small Babys featured in a teaser are known as "PlushBaby", something he describes as monstrous and says they are, "the best original addition to any game ever." In the trailer of the game, they are briefly seen in the closet, convulsing violently. There will be at least three variations: A normal one, a PlushBaby with a blue skirt, and a Golden PlushBaby without one eye.


 * Glitchtrap- Within the game, an unknown animatronic is described roaming the pizzeria. Tape Girl's tapes describe it as a rabbit-like figure in the hall, staring through the glass, unlike Chica, in a manner that appeared as if it was watching her every move.

The game was met with positive reviews from critics, holding a score of 81 out of 100 on Metacritic.

Trivia

 * On March 11, 2019, a teaser, a portion of the box art for the game, was uploaded on Scott's website. Fans, however, soon realized that half of the animatronics from the teaser art were questionably traced from fan-made renders (noticeably Funtime Foxy and Spring Bonnie). A few hours later, Scott took the teaser down and sent an apology and revealed some gameplay details about Help Wanted.
 * The deleted teaser reveals hidden messages when brightened:
 * "Don't listen to them."
 * "We let something inside."
 * "It was an accident."
 * "Remember Jeremy."


 * The source code for Scottgames.com had a set of scrambled numbers and letters, which would reveal black and white images of the game. Seven images were found as a result, though one of them remained unrelated to the VR game itself.
 * In the trailer, Nightmare Fredbear had brown fur and a black top hat/bow tie, similar to Nightmare Freddy, rather than the yellow/gold fur and purple top hat/bow tie that he had in all other games, he was also missing his buttons on his stomach. According to Scott, this was because the trailer was made a long time ago, and the models were unfinished at the time, which explains Nightmare Fredbear's off color scheme.
 * In Help Wanted's Steam page, the model is now fixed.
 * This is the first title to be made in a game engine other than Clickteam Fusion 2.5, as Help Wanted is made in Unreal Engine 4.
 * This is the first title to have been developed by another company, rather than by Scott Cawthon.
 * This is the first game in the Five Nights at Freddy's series to be published on a console.
 * Scott Cawthon planned to have a website to advertise the fake company that help create the The Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience, Silver Parasol Games, but decided not to do it because he did not what to blur the line between fact and fiction.
 * This was still left in the game in early builds, however, resulting in somebody creating a fan-made website idea that featured a developer named Jeremy. This was debated on until Scott eventually disproved it.
 * This is the first game in the series to have subtitles, and is also the first game to have different language support as well.
