## About Five Nights at Freddy's

Five Nights at Freddy's is a 2014 indie horror simulation game developed and published by Scott Cawthon. Players take on the role of a night-shift security guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, a family entertainment venue featuring animatronic robots. The core gameplay revolves around camera-monitoring, survival-horror mechanics, and nightly-challenges that escalate in difficulty as the week progresses. Players must carefully manage limited resources while avoiding jump-scares from the animatronics. The game holds a 93% positive rating from over 32,000 Steam reviews and is verified for play on Steam Deck. Players describe the experience as anxious, dark, and stressful, and reviewers highlight the tense-atmosphere, iconic-characters, mystery-and-lore, and nostalgia-inducing-sounds as compelling hooks. The game is available for $4.99 USD.
