## About Five Nights at Freddy's 3

Five Nights at Freddy's 3 is a survival horror simulation developed and published by Scott Cawthon, released in 2015. Players take on the role of a night security guard at Fazbear's Fright, a horror attraction built around the legacy of the infamous closed pizzeria. The gameplay centers on system management, using cameras to monitor areas, employing audio lures to redirect threats, and avoiding phantom entities that cannot be stopped by conventional means. Environmental storytelling and hidden minigames gradually reveal the narrative backstory. Reviewers highlight that the atmosphere and story are compelling, noting that dread and fear build effectively throughout each shift. Players describe the experience as tense, eerie, and anxious, with the environmental storytelling drawing them deeper into the mystery. The game holds an 89% positive rating from over 6,400 Steam reviews and runs verified on Steam Deck.
