If one of the animatronics makes it to the office, the player is jump-scared, and the game is over. The player must use cameras, lights, and doors to track the movements of the animatronics and prevent them from reaching the player's office. However, at night, the animatronics become active and start to roam around the restaurant, with the player taking on the role of a security guard trying to survive until dawn. The game is set in a pizza restaurant where animatronic animals, including Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, and Chica, entertain children during the day.
Five Nights at Freddy's is a survival horror video game that was first released in 2014.
