Five Nights at Freddy's

About Five Nights at Freddy's

Five Nights at Freddy's is a point-and-click survival horror game created by Scott Cawthon. You play as a night security guard alone inside Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, a family restaurant whose animatronic performers behave very differently after closing time. The cheerful setting turns tense once the building goes quiet and every hallway sound starts to matter.

You cannot explore rooms freely or fight the animatronics directly. Instead, you stay in a fixed office, switch between security cameras, check the blind spots beside each doorway and close the left or right door only when a threat is close. Cameras, lights and sealed doors all drain the same limited power supply, so every defensive choice has a cost. If the electricity runs out before 6 AM, the office goes dark and your last protection disappears.

Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy each follow different routes and timing. Early nights teach camera habits and door discipline, while later shifts demand faster checks, better listening and stricter power control. That mix of simple controls and rising pressure is what makes Five Nights at Freddy's memorable. When you are ready to practice the routine, continue to the How to Play section for camera checks, hallway lights and door timing.
