Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF) is a legendary survival-horror game that quickly became one of the most iconic titles in modern gaming. In FNAF, you play as a night security guard working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, a family restaurant filled with animatronic characters. During the day, these mascots entertain children—but at night, they become unpredictable and extremely dangerous.
Your goal is simple but terrifying: survive five nights while monitoring the building’s security cameras. As the hours pass, the animatronics grow more active and attempt to reach your office. If they catch you with your guard down, the game ends instantly with a classic FNAF jumpscare.
FNAF stands out because of its minimalist mechanics, chilling atmosphere, and intense psychological tension. Instead of fighting the animatronics, you must manage your limited power supply, close doors at the right time, and watch camera feeds to track each character’s movements. Every sound, flicker, or shadow can be a clue. The combination of strategy, timing, and fear creates one of the most memorable horror experiences ever made.
With its simple controls, deep lore, and dozens of sequels and spin-offs, FNAF has become a major fan-favorite in the horror community. Whether you're a beginner or a series veteran, the original game remains a must-play classic.
