Welcome, Mike Schmidt, to your new job at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. A happy place for children and grown-ups all through the day. During the day, the animatronic creations are friendly but, at night, if they find a human, they will try to stuff them into a Freddy Fazbear costume. That wouldn’t be so bad if not for the cables, wires and braces inside. Unfortunately, you work security at night from midnight until six A.M. Good luck on your first five days at work… you’re going to need it.

Five Nights at Freddy’s is a point-and-click horror adventure game. You must check the cameras to see where any animatronic creatures may be. Particularly, check Pirate Cove on occasion, as Foxy the Pirate will run to you if left unchecked too long. If an animatronic gets into your security room, it is game over.

In addition to the cameras, you have a light to check each hallway right outside your door and a door button to close the door. Don’t be wasteful as your power is limited. If you run out of power, you will lose your lights, cameras and the doors will reopen.

This will, often, soon lead to your death. Each night, the animatronic A.I. gets smarter. If you survive all five nights, you get a sixth night to try to survive which is even harder.

Survive that and you can create custom A.I. level nights to try surviving.
