Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNaF) is a legendary survival-horror game that takes place inside Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, a kid-friendly restaurant with a dark secret. You play as the new night security guard, assigned to watch over the building from midnight to 6 AM. The job sounds simple, but the animatronics come alive at night — and they’re hunting for you.
Gameplay is built around tension and strategy. You can’t move from your security office, so survival depends on watching cameras, listening for footsteps, and managing limited power. Every action drains electricity — closing doors, turning on lights, or checking cameras — so players must make smart decisions under pressure. The animatronics behave unpredictably, creating a nerve-wracking experience where every second counts.
What makes FNaF so iconic is its atmosphere. The flickering cameras, echoing hallways, and sudden audio cues build constant suspense. The game rarely uses cheap jump scares — instead, it keeps players on edge through slow-building fear and clever sound design.
Perfect for short, intense sessions, FNaF runs smoothly in browser versions and remains one of the most influential horror games of the decade. If you enjoy strategy, suspense, and heart-pounding moments, Five Nights at Freddy’s is a must-play classic.
