It’s elegant in how it sows fear, and is a must-own for anyone who likes scary games." -Joel Couture IndieGameMag. Simple still images and proper character design steal the show in this game, and show that Scott Cawthon knows quite a lot about the secret fears people feel when looking at creepy dolls and toys. In the first game, you play as a security guard named Mike Schmidt working the night shift, and you’re told that the animatronic characters (Freddy Fazbear and his friends Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy) roam around at night because their tech might get. It’s a fantastic example of how cleverness in design and subtlety can be used to make an experience terrifying. The premise of the games is centered on the fictional restaurant chain, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. "For all the simplicity of the game’s controls and premise, Five Nights at Freddy‘s is frightening. That means when you run out of power for the night- no more security doors and no more lights! If something isn't right- namely if Freddybear or his friends aren't in their proper places, you must find them on the monitors and protect yourself if needed!

You have a very limited amount of electricity that you're allowed to use per night (corporate budget cuts, you know). They are animatronic robots, programmed to please the crowds! The robots' behavior has become somewhat unpredictable at night however, and it was much cheaper to hire you as a security guard than to find a repairman.įrom your small office you must watch the security cameras carefully. Welcome to your new summer job at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, where kids and parents alike come for entertainment and food as far as the eye can see! The main attraction is Freddy Fazbear, of course and his two friends.
