FNaF actually succeeds very well at being a stress-horror game. At it's core the game is about management of its mechanics, the jumpscares are just the outcome. The horror comes more from the atmosphere and the tension leading up to the jumpscares rather than the jumpscares themself. The jumpscares are just there to tell you "You lost, start over."
