1
The first night is never usually that bad in any of the games, so I'll play through - AHHHHHH!
2
Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier, and welcome to Five Nights at Freddy's 4.
3
Now this is the final chapter in the Five Nights at Freddy's series, and this represents what Scott wants to be the scariest game in the entire series,
4
and this is such a big deal, and it's dropped on me like early in the morning, so I had to rush over here and get recording on it, but it necessitated the return of my glasses.
5
Also, my mom told me that I needed to put my glasses off, because apparently my face is TOO ugly.
6
Five days until the party.
7
What party?

28
Okay, alright then.
29
So, I got locked in my room.
30
Why?
31
Why is any of this?
32
Also, my mom didn't say that I was ugly at all.
33
I love my mom very much.
34
Everyone, my mom would never lock me in my room all by myself!
35
Hello!
36
Oh no!
37
Oh no, that's so sad!
38
Why is this happening?
39
tomorrow is another day is it I don't know
40
if that's the primary concern right here okay oh night one okay cool
41
so so what it all right click here to run to the door okay hello whoa what was
42
that what did I do what did I do I did a Oh no, what did I do?
43
What did I do?
44
Was that information?
45
Oh no, oh no, oh no, I didn't know that.
46
I didn't read.
47
Okay, that does that.
48
So that's the same button that did the flashlight before because I remember from the trailer But oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no,
49
oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no I'm missing.
50
Oh, I'm missing very valuable information probably.
51
Oh, I'm gonna die in such horrible ways.
52
Oh no OH, I'M GONNA DIE IN SUCH HORRIBLE WAYS!
53
O -okay!
54
Okay, so, there's probably a way to - there was a way to - Oh.
55
Ah, there we go, okay.
56
So, from what I remember from the trailer, there was a few different zones, and I was trying to analyze the trailer to get an idea how the game was gonna be.
57
So there's behind you, which for some reason you're not sitting on the actual bed, I guess because you have to run up and do things, and then there was like, the three things here.
58
So this is reminiscent of the first games like office
59
or any of the games offices Actually oddly enough to kind of put myself in the mindset
60
and to try to get a true comparison as to what
61
is going to happen I actually replayed the first game the first few nights of the first game, so
62
I don't know what to expect from this one
63
But I definitely wanted to get an idea of what came out of the last ones before I did anything here
64
What was that?
65
What was that?
66
This is a phone But the phone no do phone guy.
67
The phone no do phone guy stuff He still squeaks.
68
Okay found the squeaker.
69
Okay, so I I'm just under the assumption for some reason Okay, I was locked in my room But this looks like the room
70
because that lamp there and that dresser looks like the room for the little What is that?
71
Why is my fan not going my purple fan up there it no go Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
72
no, no, no, I don't even know what to expect.
73
I'm pretty sure I missed out on some very important instructions.
74
Okay, so, how do I, how do I close a door?
75
I don't know how to close a door.
76
Like, if something's coming down the hallway, how do I close a damn door?
77
Space?
78
No.
79
oh oh okay shift okay that's important information oh that's important
80
information well there was like crap I have no idea what
81
I'm doing I have no idea what I'm doing maybe that's for the best
82
because maybe going into this totally uninitiated is actually good for me for some reason fuck that what was I'm dead!
83
BOO!
84
Okay, ward off all the monsters, apparently!
85
What was that?
86
It was one of those little jibber -jabber dudes!
87
The Freddy jibber -jabbers!
88
I don't like that.
89
I don't like that.
90
I don't like that at all.
91
Okay.
92
So far, so nothing.
93
And I don't know what the sound outside is.
94
It either sounds like rain or someone's pulling up in the driveway.
95
I don't know.
96
I don't know what that is.
97
Oh, maybe it's behind me.
98
Is it behind me?
99
AH FUCK YOU!
100
GET OUT OF HERE!
101
What are you doing?
102
Disappearing into the wall?
103
Son of a bitch.
104
You're supposed to keep me safe, Freddy!
105
Supposed to keep me safe.
106
Didn't work.
107
Okay, so those sounds are the sounds of the little jibber -jabbers behind me.
108
I don't know what that is.
109
Cause apparently, Foxy's in here.
110
I can close that.
111
Okay.
112
Which is good, I guess.
113
It's like Foxy's curtains back from the first game.
114
Oh, man.
115
If I had any guess as to what Scott wanted to
116
pull from for this game It was definitely probably from the first game, but to kind of completely turn the formula on its head
117
Which kind of is what is going on here because it's it's bizarre because there's no camera checking.
118
It's all like Do I have a dog?
119
And and why is dog no come protect me Okay.
120
5 a .m.
121
So I'm pretty close.
122
I'm doing good, but then the first - Get out of here!
123
You son of a bitch!
124
Jesus.
125
Okay, so the first night is never usually that bad in any of the games, so I'll play through - AHH FUCK!
126
WHAT THE FUCK?!
127
AHHHHH!
128
AHHHHH!
129
It's always when I'm saying something.
130
It's always when I'm - Oh, I'mma be okay!
131
Oh, everything's fine!
132
Oh, God.
133
Maybe I can read the instructions now.
134
Oh, let me fast -forward through this.
135
Oh my god My heart God, I didn't even see what happened.
136
Please let me out of this hellhole.
137
Why am I in this hellhole?
138
Why is any of this a hellhole in the first place?
139
Why does a child's life have to be a hellhole?
140
Tomorrow is another day.
141
Let's just get through tonight, shall we?
142
Listen carefully if you hear breathing - Oh, okay.
143
If you hear breathing, hold the door shut.
144
If you do not hear breathing, then use your flashlight.
145
Okay!
146
Alright.
147
Now I get it.
148
Now I can play the game.
149
Good for me.
150
The thing is, I don't know what the breathing sounds like, cause I kinda - I kinda flicked on my flashlight too quickly
151
and I had no idea that there was gonna be something there.
152
I'm pretty sure it was Chica.
153
I only saw like a bear - I -I thought - I saw a beak thrusting at me from the darkness.
154
I have no idea what it was it all went by too quickly
155
and it's definitely changing up everything that I've known about playing before it's really interesting
156
well I'll have to reserve judgment until I get later on in the game
157
and I find out more about what's going on in terms of the lore
158
and everything else is happening what was that what was that was
159
that a thing okay okay man I'm gonna to become a marathon runner with all this sprinting back and forth I'm doing.
160
We're okay.
161
4 a .m.
162
We're doing fine.
163
The night actually seems to be going quicker than the past nights.
164
Probably because there's not as much. Was I breathing?
165
OOOH I THINK THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BREATHING!
166
OOOH I THINK I'M ABOUT TO HEARD SOMETHING!
167
Ah fuck you!
168
Wait.
169
That was - Tha - the face on the d - uh phone was doing something different!
170
I could have sworn.
171
Wait, it was - might have been out of the corner of my eye, Yeah, but it looked like the phone face was a little different.
172
No, is Chica in the kitchen?
173

192
I've died twice on the first night my crown is slipping
193
from my head oh no why God's five days never mind okay it's just
194

195

196

197
Okay.
198

199
Okay.
200
Okay.
201
Okay.
202
That was a thing.
203
I just, it's just like, I don't think that's breathing, but you never know.
204
Hi, go away, please.
205
Thank you.
206
Okay, so No!
207
Oh, that was the breathing!
208
Oh, I didn't know that was it!
209
Ah, god, okay, so it's not breathing!
210
It's a freakin' radio!
211
God dammit, oh man.
212
Why am I so bad at this?
213
Oh, why am I so bad?
214
Okay, I know what the breathing is now.
215
It's any noise.
216
That's not the normal noise.
217
It's it's weird.
218
It's it's really weird about it It's that moment of apprehension.
219
That's like right before I turn on the flashlight every single time I'm like is it I'm pretty sure but is it?
220
God if that was the intention that was well done
221
Just the little moment of hesitation like the am I going to die
222
if I do this and I will die instantly The first time I tried this, it was easy!
223
I got to 5 a .m.
224
I didn't even try!
225
Ugh.
226
I didn't even read the instructions.
227
4 a .m.
228
Okay, just come on!
229
Just get to 6 a .m dammit!
230
It's the first night!
231
I should be able to win this!
232
I'm the king of something!
233
Oh, get out of here!
234
5 a .m.
235
Come on.
236
I just gotta get to 5 a .m.
237
Oh, 6 a .m.
238
I mean.
239
Okay, we're fine.
240
I'm just gonna go up here and shut the door.
241
He -!
242
I mean that might be mom making me a tasty sandwich No
243
What was that why did blink maybe that meant you get when he went away I don't know!
244
I don't know!
245
OH COME ON!
246
I HAD IT CLOSED!
247
I HAD IT CLOSED!
248
IT WAS CLOSED!
249
Oh, jeez.
250
I need to, like, have a better understanding about the basic fundamentals of this or else I'm never gonna get through this.
251
I'm never gonna get through to the later of the game unless I actually understand, like, the specifics of this.
252
So I need the specifics of it.
253
My thought is maybe I got to the door too late anyway, because he was down the hall I saw him which meant that he was coming that way
254
so what that meant for me is
255
that I needed to be more vigilant on that door period
256
but I went to the other door
257
and I kind of hid away from it I tried to avoid it
258
but what I needed to do is probably go over there
259
and quickly shut the door then I don't know how long I hold the door is the question
260
oh hey okay so there's a chica down here Chica's - Chica's down here.
261
Okay.
262
Gotta check behind me.
263
Clear him off.
264
Okay.
265
Now Chica's down there, so...
266
Breathing?
267
Okay, so I gotta check the other side.
268
Bonnie might have snuck up.
269
Okay. Is that laughing?
270
So Chica might still be coming up on the right side.
271
Okay.
272
Alright.
273
Okay, we're okay.
274
Okay.
275
I think we're okay.
276
Okay.
277
Booby -de -booby -de -boop!
278
Boop!
279
Booby -de -booby -de -boop!
280
I think I won!
281
I think I got it!
282
I think I'm okay!
283
YAY!
284
Yeah!
285
What the hell is that doing?
286
Woo!
287
I did it!
288
Okay.
289
Wow.
290
Wow.
291
Okay.
292
So, the trick is, you have to be proactive.
293
You have to be as proactive as possible in what you're doing.
294
You have to actively try to do what you need to do.
295
So either way, that is the first night of Five Nights at Freddy's 4.
296
This is going to be amazing!
297
Because if, if, if, they add a lot more to the game on top of this, this could be a PHENOMENAL game!
298
It's so scary!
299
It's great!
300
I love this!
301
I can't wait to play more!
302
So the demo isn't out for public, but the real game might come out very soon because Because, in the past, whenever a demo got released to, uh, like the YouTubers, uh,
303
pretty soon after, the full game got released for everybody.
304
So, stay tuned for that!
305
Thank you everybody so much for watching!
306
Let me know what you think of this game in the comments down below.
307
And as always, I will see you.. in the next video!
308
Buh -bye!
309
Hey!
310
Oh goddammit!
311
How are you doing?
312
You know, I feel a deeper connection now that we're looking at each other in the eyes.
313
Excuse me for a second, I'm gonna - You

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
