The ‘Idea Theft’ of the Walten Files

In the wake of Five Nights at Freddy's and its massive success, many other series in countless mediums have appeared to profit off of the popularity of its ideas. The Walten Files is an analog horror series here on YouTube that many have labelled as a "copy" of FNAF. Is this truly the case, or does The Walten Files have merit of its own?

‼️In 2021, YouTube and Google AdSense forcefully closed my account, meaning I don't get paid for any of my content on YouTube. If you wish to help with this, consider tweeting @TeamYouTube on Twitter, bringing their attention to the problem. It's easy, and could help massively. If it’s just me contacting them, it tends to be ignored, but if some of you can help as well, we can make a change. You can also support the channel on Patreon. Thank you.‼️
