Video Game Of The Month

Five Nights At Freddie's

Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria - you are working as a security guard from 12 p.m. to 6 a.m. Your aim is to survive your shift. There are 4 animatronics: Freddy, Chicka, Bonnie and Foxy that want to stuff you in a suit (and kill you during the process), so you can't let them near you. You are sitting in an office and you have access to security cameras to see the movement of the animatronics. They can move at night and when they get close to you, you can close the doors to avoid them.

As you progress throughout the game, you will find that there is actually a 5th animatronic - "yellow bear" as referred to by the game files, also known by fans as Golden Freddy.

also known by fans as Golden Freddy. Ignoring the rules of physics, Golden Freddy appears and disappears even if the doors are closed. A poster of Freddy is shown in one of the cameras that you can look through to see where the animatronics are. If that poster changes to Golden Freddy's face when you put the camera away, Golden Freddy will be waiting to jumpscare you but unlike when you get jumpscared by a normal animatronic and get the "game over" screen, here the game crashes.

Also, unlike the other animatronics, you can't stop Golden Freddy from coming into your office.
