Five Nights at Wario’s (FNaW) is a fan-made horror game inspired by the classic Five Nights at Freddy’s formula but with a unique twist: the haunting characters are based on the Mario universe, with Wario taking center stage. Although the premise sounds playful, FNaW delivers real tension, eerie atmosphere, and clever gameplay that keeps players on edge throughout the night shifts.
You play as a security guard watching over an abandoned factory once owned by Wario. The building has a dark past, and now strange figures wander the halls after midnight. Your job is to survive each night by checking cameras, managing doors, and listening carefully for audio cues that reveal where the characters are lurking.
What makes FNaW stand out is its creepy reinterpretation of familiar Nintendo characters. Wario, Luigi, Peach, and others appear in distorted, ghost-like forms that move unpredictably across the map. The limited power system forces players to use cameras sparingly, making every glance a strategic decision.
The pacing is tight, the tension builds naturally, and the jumpscares hit harder because of the game’s unsettling atmosphere. Whether you’re a FNaF fan or just enjoy horror games with a fresh twist, Five Nights at Wario’s delivers a surprisingly chilling and memorable experience.
