For the FNaF side of that Mark clip:
It feels like every time you look back at Security Breach, you uncover more debris and dead bodies it left behind.
While I liked the art and the Glamrock aesthetic, it's become more and more undeniable that the series should have never left the 70's-90's tech/culture range, and should have never left small, intimate settings. That is the secret to FNaF's strength, and it should be stapled to the series and refined and honed until it is immaculate. If they want to convey the idea of a futuristic setting, it should be Cassette-Futurist: The future through the lens of the 70's and 80's. Not the look or feel of 2020's tech.
The developers also should have been told the story, and the more complex your story is, the more mandatory it is to have named characters talking to each other on screen. SotM at least had more than one character talking to each other on audio tapes, but I will never understand why Mascot Horror hates animating characters talking to each other and interacting in order to convey the story.
The sit-and-survive gameplay also still has life in it, even if the devs don't think so. It's clearly still memorable and beloved enough to be the dominant gameplay style for fangames. It's what made FNaF unique, and I really think it needs another shot. Exploring in a 3D setting for lore and such can still be a thing (if the map is small enough), but the core gameplay being some form of point and click should still be explored. It's a collection of simple, reliable rules that cannot be confused or altered by physics engines, aggro ranges, items not spawning, or other stupid bullshit.
Also, volumetric lighting will carry your 80's aesthetic on it's back, if you let it. Take advantage.
