The story follows a group of childhood friends who meet in their hometown and discover unnerving secrets of the once-loved restaurant Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. According to Cawthon, the novel "expands the mythos and reveals a human element never before seen in the games".

It is the second spin-off of the "Five Nights at Freddy's" series, the first one being "FNaF World". The game was released on June 27, 2018 for free on Steam and Game Jolt.

of over fifty animatronics from all six main "Five Nights at Freddy's" games, as well as from the spin-off, "FNaF World", most of which allow the player to set their difficulties to determine how aggressive they are during the night, much like the "custom nights" from the earlier games in the series. The player is also able to select the office they want to play in, and has 16 themed game modes available to them. On August 18, 2018, Cawthon confirmed on

The game starts with a minigame which shows a young boy who is locked in his bedroom with plush toys, which he calls his only friends. It is speculated that "Five Nights at Freddy's 4"'s gameplay is the result of the boy suffering from nightmares that he is being attacked by the animatronics and thus must protect himself. After the

Five Nights at Freddy's (often abbreviated to FNaF) is a media franchise based around an indie video game series created, designed, developed, and published by Scott Cawthon for Microsoft Windows, iOS, and Android. The series is centered on the story of a fictional restaurant named Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, a pastiche of restaurants such as Chuck E. Cheese's and ShowBiz Pizza Place. The first three games involves the player working as a nighttime security guard: they must utilize several tools, such as checking security cameras,

Set thirty years after the events of the first game, the main character (who remains unnamed) works at "Fazbear's Fright", a horror attraction based off the long-gone Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. The player must defend themselves from a deteriorated animatronic-costume hybrid known as "Springtrap", which

A pizzeria called Freddie's Pizza & Pasta in Roseville, California also suffered from this. Cawthon has since asked fans to refrain from calling numbers that they believe are associated with the game, as seen in the footer of his webpage. "Five Nights at Freddy's" merchandise is predominantly produced by two companies, Sanshee and Funko. Products created through these companies include

Similar to the previous game, "Five Nights at Freddy's 2" centers around the fictional Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, where the player acts as a security guard and must defend himself from the restaurant's animatronic mascots, who are possessed by the souls of murdered children out for revenge on their murderer. The game also introduces several new gameplay components, such as a flashlight

Completing all five nights will unlock an additional sixth night, where the four animatronics will haunt the player until Nightmare Fredbear takes over when the clock hits 4 AM. Completing the sixth night will unlock the "Nightmare" night, where the animatronics are very persistent and Nightmare Fredbear is replaced by the highly aggressive Nightmare, who has a unique game over screen compared to other

After beating each night, the player may play a timed minigame titled "Fun with Plushtrap", where they must lure a plush edition of Springtrap, the central animatronic in "Five Nights at Freddy's 3", to the top of an "X" marked on the ground within a specific amount of time.

It is impossible to use the time bonus in the unlockable modes. Additionally, if the player gets a game over, the bonus is no longer valid for further plays of the same level. Like previous games, the game's main storyline takes place over five increasingly-difficult nights with unlockable extra levels. The first four nights will put the player against four animatronics: Nightmare Freddy, Nightmare

Critics from "PC Gamer" stated that although they enjoyed the new reworked camera system, the jumpscares from the animatronics "felt a little stale by the third night", to the point of becoming a mere annoyance.

Announced in mid-2015 under the working title "Five Nights at Freddy's: The Final Chapter", the game is considered a departure from the previous games, which took place in a security office. Instead, the game takes place in a child's bedroom, placing an emphasis on timing and auditory warnings to complete nights.

The gameplay deviates from the previous games in the series slightly. In keeping with the first two installments, players are once again tasked with surviving a week of night shifts, lasting from 12 A.M. to 6 A.M. (4 minutes of real time). However, this game features only one animatronic that can physically attack the player and end the

"Five Nights at Freddy's 3" replaces these tools with a monitor panel, where the player must keep certain systems from malfunctioning, so as not to hinder the player's ability to successfully complete the night. These malfunctions can be triggered randomly, or by hallucinations of past iterations of the animatronics. The ability to seal vents is also added, and must be used to prevent the sole tangible animatronic from entering the office. The player can also use an audio
