Five Nights at Freddy’s is a new indie horror game developed by Scott Cawthon. It was released on Aug. 8 and has since received a lot of hype. In the game, the player gets a job as the new security guard at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, a Chucky Cheese-esque entertainment center.

You receive a voicemail saying that the animatronic animals there free-roam the restaurant. When they see humans during the day, their job is to entertain them, but at night, they see humans as animatronics without a costume on. So they try to shove you into the animatronics and your eyes and jaw pop out of your head.

The object of the game is to survive by checking the cameras, closing the doors when they get close to you, and using the lights by the doors so you know when they’re coming. However, all this takes out your battery life, so use them in moderation.

The four animatronics are Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Bunny, Chica the Chicken, and Foxy the Pirate Fox. Your shift starts at midnight and you have to avoid the animatronics from attacking you until 6 a.m. (eight to nine minutes in real time).

The base level of each animatronic is one, but you have the choice in which difficulty you would like to set. The max for each animatronic is 20 and you can set a different difficulty for each. One very important easter egg in the game is the Bite of ‘87. This is a story you hear about in a voicemail about why they stopped letting the animatronics free roam during the day. Apparently, one of the Freddy animatronics led some children into a back room and killed them all, so when you set the difficulties to 1-9-8-7, you automatically die.

“[Five Nights at Freddy’s is] probably the creepiest game I’ve ever played in my life,” junior Zac Conden said. “I mean, the entire game was scary but the scariest part was when you would look into one camera, switch to the others, come back, and realize Bonny wasn’t there.”

Recently on YouTube, there have been many Let’s Play videos and such of the game, but the first person to ever beat 20-20-20-20 mode is a gamer who goes by the name of BigBugz. The creator commented on his video congratulating him on his victory.

“I had seen a lot of videos of the game but never knew how scary it really was,” Conden said. “I’ve learned to never play it at night or I’ll go insane.”

Five Nights at Freddy’s is available for the PC through Steam for $5 or on the Google Play Store and Apple Store for $3.
