Five Nights at Freddy's

Developed by Scott Cawthon

About the game — TGN editorial note

Five Nights at Freddy's places players in the security office of a family pizzeria as night guard Mike Schmidt. Watching security cameras and shutting steel doors keeps roaming animatronics at bay, but every action drains a limited power supply, and running out leaves the office defenceless. Scott Cawthon, a solo developer in the United States, made it in six months with Clickteam Fusion 2.5 and released it in 2014, launching a wider media franchise.
