Five Nights at Freddy's|FNAF Video Game Series
A series of games developed by independent developer Scott Cawthon. Initially, the productions Five Nights at Freddy's were horror games, but over time the gameplay of subsequent titles began to be diversified with new elements and solutions. Currently, its development is handled by the publisher ScottGames and the development team of Steel Wool Studios.
The first installment of the series, simply titled Five Nights at Freddy's, was released in 2014. Parts two and three continued the story told in it, while the first major changes to the formula were introduced only in Five Nights at Freddy's 4. In 2016, the first spin-off of the series was released, FNAF World, which was an RPG production with a much more cheerful atmosphere than its predecessors. In the following years, new installments were regularly released, most often diversifying the well-known mechanics with new solutions, such as Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator (2017) mixing horror with economic strategy. In 2021, through Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach a new antagonist named Vanna was introduced to the series. Titles under the banner FNAF can be played on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, as well as on mobile devices and Nintendo Switch.
In the first installments of the series, we play the role of a watchman of a pizzeria, who has to survive in it for five nights. He is threatened by the mechanical teddy bears living on the premises, and his only weapon is a flashlight that deters them. In the process, we have access to surveillance, so we are able to track their actions throughout the building. Meanwhile, we learn about the dark past of the place, linked to mysterious disappearances of children. The formula of the game was changed for the first time only in the fourth installment, where we didn't see everything from the perspective of the cameras, but of a child staying in a house controlled by these murderous toys. Subsequent parts have already told new stories, whose common element is the plushies threatening the protagonist.
The series achieved very high popularity, despite the not very high ratings of the subsequent parts. In addition to high sales, the brand was also transferred to other media. In 2020, it was confirmed that Blumhouse Productions had begun production of a film set in the universe of the FNAF, and since 2015 books written by the author of the games themselves and Kira Breed-Wrisley have been published.

The gameplay focuses on exploration of the eponymous realm and turn-based battles. We can recruit all the toys from Five Nights at Freddy’s universe to our team, each of them having unique attacks and special abilities. There is also an option of activating their alternative forms to modify their behavior, strength, and abilities. The game is presented in colorful, fabulous visuals and features humorous animations.

We cannot track their movements by a monitoring system and have to check out each of the five available locations (two parts of a kid's bedroom, cabinet, and left and right hall) on our own. For the first time in history of the series, we can run, peek through the door, look into the cabinet, and turn around. Our only weapon is the flashlight that lets us scare the animatronics away.

March 2, 2015

When the memory of the tragic events that occurred in previous installments of the series becomes almost forgotten, the pizzeria that was closed for thirty years becomes renovated. The new owner intends to use the deadly past of the place as a marketing trick which will attract many customers. A new mechanic toy is a very important part of the decorations – there is only one, but it is stronger and scarier than its predecessors. The gameplay is based on similar principles as the previous installments of the series. The player assumes the role of a night watchman who must survive five nights in this dangerous place. Simple gameplay mechanics are only the tools used for telling an intriguing story which the player will reveal as he progresses in the game. The plot forces the player to repeat the game many times in order to discover all hints related to the story.
Five Nights at Freddy's 2
Adventure
November 10, 2014
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 provides a continuation to an unusual game created by Scott Cawthon and awarded a series of prizes - it was considered the most original horror title of 2014. In this second installment, the player takes on the role of a new watchman working at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Despite the warnings received from his predecessor, he decided to give it a try and stay at the restaurant overnight. Although the entire building was rebuilt and the famous animatronics were gifted with completely new software along with a face recognition system, the robots are still hungry for human lives after dark. Surviving five subsequent nights at the restaurant turns out to be quite a challenge. In terms of the mechanics, the second installment is based on a slightly modified gameplay formula of the original game. Instead of being in charge of a lighting system, the protagonist is equipped with only a flashlight. The watch room has one entrance only now, but without a door. Thus the only way to avoid getting killed by the animatronics here is to put on a special mask which fools the face recognition systems of the robots.
Five Nights at Freddy's
Adventure
August 8, 2014
An original horror game created by Scott Cawthon, an independent gamemaker. The player assumes the role of a watchman who takes up a seasonal job at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. What is important about the restaurant, is that mechanical mascots are its main attraction. A seemingly easy job turns into a true nightmare during the very first night, when the protagonist discovers that the sympathetic animatronics come to life after dark and display a hostile attitude towards humans. Trapped in a cramped watch room, the protagonist has to avoid contact with murderous robots during five subsequent nights. The task is not easy, because using various devices, such as lighting and monitoring systems, as well as locking the door drains the power supply, which has to be appropriately managed throughout the entire night. Despite its simplistic mechanics, Five Nights at Freddy's provides a good dose of anxiety and is capable of frightening the player with ease.
