As each night progresses, the animatronics like Freddy Fazbear and Foxy become more aggressive. Power must be conserved wisely when sealing doors and using lights. Running out of power means almost certain death.
With limited mobility as a security guard, players experience vulnerability and terrifying suspense in a creepy pizzeria environment. Eerie ambience and jump scares add to the horror.
Five Nights at Freddy's relies on atmosphere and tense cat-and-mouse gameplay rather than gore. Its simple mechanics mixed with edge-of-your-seat thrills made it a hugely popular indie horror title.
