Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNaF) is an indie horror game series created by Scott Cawthon, first released in 2014. The core premise places the player in a mundane but terrifying job—typically a night security guard—tasked with surviving several nights while hostile animatronic characters attempt to reach and “kill” the player. Gameplay emphasizes limited resources, surveillance, audio/visual cues, and tense decision-making rather than combat. The original game’s simple mechanics, distinctive jump-scares, and strong atmosphere launched a major franchise spanning sequels, spin-offs, books, and a film. Website: https://fnafgame.us/
