Five Nights at Freddy's (often abbreviated to FNaF) is a series of indie survival horror point-and-click video games centered around jump scares created, designed, developed, and published by Scott Cawthon.
The first three games revolve around the player working as a nighttime security guard, in which they must utilize several tools, most notably checking security cameras, to survive against animatronic characters, which become mobile and homicidal after-hours. The fourth game, which is drastically different than its predecessors, takes place in the house of a child who must defend against nightmare versions of the animatronics by closing doors and fleeing on foot. The fifth game takes place in a maintenance facility, which can be accessed through an elevator. In this game, the player character is a technician instead of a night guard, who must do different tasks as told by an AI voice heard in the game.
A novel adaptation, Five Nights at Freddy's: The Silver Eyes, was released on December 17, 2015. Two more written publications are currently being worked on: a second novel adaptation, Five Nights at Freddy's: The Twisted Ones; and a guidebook based on the series, The Freddy Files. A film adaptation is also in production at Warner Bros. Pictures.
On May 8, 2016, Cawthon announced that all titles would be remade by third-party companies for release on consoles. No release dates have been confirmed as of present.
The series appeared in the Guinness Book of Records: Gamer's Edition, breaking the record for the most sequels released in a year.
