Five Nights at Freddy’s, often called fnaf games, is a horror and survival game that challenges players to survive five nights as a security guard at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. The game may look simple at first, but surviving each night requires careful observation, quick decisions, and good use of limited resources. Learning how the cameras, doors, lights, and animatronics work is the key to staying alive.

At the beginning of each night, the player sits inside a small security office. The main objective is to survive from midnight until 6 a.m. without being attacked by the animatronics. The player cannot freely walk around the restaurant. Instead, they must monitor the building using a security camera system. By checking different rooms, players can keep track of where the animatronics are and react when they start moving toward the office.
