Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location (often abbreviated to Sister Location) is a point-and-click survival horror video game created by Scott Cawthon. It is the fifth game in the Five Nights at Freddy's series. The game was released on October 7, 2016. A mobile port for Android devices was released on December 22, 2016, and an iOS port was released on January 3, 2017.
Sister Location distances itself from several key gameplay and storytelling mechanics used in previous games, instead featuring walking access to any area in the game, each with its own differing objective the player must carry out. Throughout the game, the player interacts with a new cast of animatronic characters, central to which is a seemingly benevolent animatronic named Circus Baby.
Additionally, Sister Location is the first core game in the series to feature professional voice acting and an original soundtrack.
The bulk of the gameplay in Sister Location does away with the survival aspect of previous games. Instead of remaining in one place and preventing the animatronic antagonists from attacking, the player must move from room to room in order to fulfill a series of objectives that change during each of the five nights. For example, Night 2 requires the player to sneak across a dark auditorium and reset a group of circuit breakers, while for Night 4, the player is placed inside a costume suit and must keep its spring locks wound up while shaking off the animatronic dolls that climb onto it.
As in Five Nights at Freddy's 2, when a game ends, the player may be given a chance to play an 8-bit minigame, in which Circus Baby must give cupcakes to children and then bring an ice cream cone to a little girl. Completing this minigame grants access to a secret level during Night 5, a near-recreation of the gameplay in the original Five Nights at Freddy's. Here, the player remains in a security office and must prevent a hybrid animatronic called "Ennard" from entering it by watching surveillance cameras and closing electric doors, all of which consume a limited power supply.
