Da vizzle game series fuckin started wit tha eponymous game pimped n' published by Cawthon fo' Microsizzlez Windows up in 2014. Da game was followed by a fuckin shitload of sequels, prequels, n' spin-offs busted out fo' Windows, iOS, n' Android, wit ports fo' Xbox One, PlayStation 4, n' Nintendo Switch. Da series is centered on tha fictional Freddy Fazbearz Pizza, a pastiche of pizzy restaurants like fuckin Chuck E. Cheese's n' ShowBiz Pizzy Place.

Da fifth game, Sista Location, is set up in a maintenizzle facilitizzle owned by a sista company of Freddy Fazbearz Pizza, n' sees tha playa characta as a technician whoz ass must complete different tasks each night. In tha sixth game, Freddy Fazbearz Pizzeria Simulator, tha playa assumes tha role of a freshly smoked up balla of tha pizzeria. Da seventh game, Help Wanted, features virtual reality gameplay, n' focuses on a seriez of minigames based on previous entries up in tha franchise. Da upcomin eighth game will feature a modernized hustlin mall.

Da success of tha vizzle game hustled ta tha publication of three novelizations (Da Silver Eyes, Da Twisted Ones, n' Da Fourth Closet), a guidebook (Da Freddy Filez), n' a activitizzle book (Survival Logbook), as well as merchandise fo' realz. A horror attraction based on tha series was featured up in tha Adventuredome fo' Halloween 2016 fo' realz. A film adaptation is planned.

Da series rocked up in tha Guinnizz Book of Records: Gamerz Edition, settin a record fo' tha phattest number of sequels busted out up in a year.[1]

History n' pimpment

Da scam fo' Five Nights at Freddy's stemmed from wack erection ta Scott Cawthonz previous game, tha crew-friendly Chipper & Sons Lumber Co.. Players holla'd dat tha main characta (a lil' beaver) looked like "a freaky animatronic animal", n' reviewer Jim Sterling called tha game (unintentionally) "terrifying".[2][3] Initially discouraged by tha criticism, Cawthon (who had previously primarily pimped Christian-oriented games) eventually used tha feedback ta make suttin' intentionally scarier.[2]

Da first Five Nights at Freddy's game was busted out via Desura on August 8, 2014. On August 20, afta dat shiznit was approved by tha servicez crowdsourcing platform Greenlight, Five Nights at Freddy's was also busted out on Steam.[4] Da sequels was busted out on November 10, 2014, March 2, 2015, July 23, 2015, October 7, 2016, n' December 4, 2017, respectively fo' realz. A spin-off from tha series (FNaF World) was announced up in a Steam post by Cawthon up in September 2015,[5] n' was busted out up in January 2017. Cawthon releases most pictorial teasers fo' his wild lil' freakadelic game on his joint, Scott Games,[6][7] n' teaser trailaz on his YallTube channel.[8]

Dude used Clickteam Fusion 2.5 ta create tha Five Nights at Freddy's game n' Autodesk 3dz Max ta model n' render tha games' 3D graphics.[9] To enhizzle FNaF World n' Five Nights at Freddy's: Sista Location, Cawthon used professionizzle voice hustlas.[10] Dude announced dat all titlez would be remade by third-party g-units fo' release on consolez.[11]

Cawthon posted on his joint up in 2015 dat he planned ta publish his wild lil' first novel (Five Nights at Freddy's: Da Untold Story) up in tha near future, wit its canon separate from dat of tha games. Da novel was lata renamed Five Nights at Freddy's: Da Silver Eyes.[12] On June 20, 2016, Scholastic announced dat it would collaborate wit Cawthon on a multi-book deal.[13] Five Nights at Freddy's: Da Silver Eyes was busted out on December 17, 2015 on Amazizzle Kindle;[14] tha paperback version was published on September 27, 2016, slightly earlier than its original gangsta October publication date.[15] A second novel (Five Nights at Freddy's: Da Twisted Ones) was published on June 27, 2017,[16] followed by Five Nights at Freddy's: Da Fourth Closet on June 26, 2018.[17]

Gameplay

Da main Five Nights at Freddy's series consistz of horror-themed vizzle game up in which tha playa is probably a night-time hommie at a location connected wit Freddy Fazbearz Pizza, a gangbangin' fictionizzle childrenz restaurant similar ta Chuck E. Cheese's n' ShowBiz Pizza.[18] Da restaurant has game-size animatronic charactas dat big-ass up at childrenz parties. Put ya muthafuckin choppers up if ya feel dis! Da animatronics wander tha restaurant at night n' tha guard is instructed ta peep over them, since previous guardz was beat down (and capped) by tha characters. To progress all up in tha games, tha playa must guard theyselves from tha animatronics wit a variety of tools.[19] For da most thugged-out part, however, tha playa remains stationary up in they defense. In tha straight-up original gangsta game, tha playa can control tha two securitizzle doors connectin they crib ta tha adjacent hallways as a funky-ass barrier against animatronics up in tha vicinity. Each night, tha playa has a juice supply which depletes fasta when a tool is used; if tha playa exhausts tha juice supply tha doors will remain open, allowin a animatronic ta breach tha crib.

Five Nights at Freddyz 2 has different tools; tha protectizzle doors is absent, n' tha playa must instead use a empty Freddy Fazbear head ta defend theyselves wit (which bustin it will fool most animatronics). Juice use is replaced by a gangbangin' flashlight which wardz off one animatronic. Lights may be used ta brighten dark areaz of tha pizzeria. Da game introduces a noize box which must be kept wound up ta prevent a battle by a particular animatronic. 8-bit minigames was introduced, which can be played randomly afta dirtnap.[20]

Five Nights at Freddyz 3 replaces these tools wit a monitor panel, where tha playa must keep certain systems from malfunctioning. These malfunctions can be triggered randomly or by tha hallucinationz of past iterationz of tha animatronics. Da mobilitizzle ta seal vents be also added, n' must be used ta prevent tha sole tangible animatronic from enterin tha crib. Da playa can use a audio-based function as a meanz of defense, which triggers a cold-ass lil childlike voice ta lure tha animatronic away from tha playaz crib.[21] Da 8-bit minigame return n' is activated by completin side tasks like fuckin clickin on a posta or inputtin a cold-ass lil code tha fuck into a wall. If tha playa completes tha minigames, they unlock a secret ending.

In Five Nights at Freddyz 4, tha gameplay occurs up in a funky-ass bedroom setting, n' tha playa is reintroduced ta removed tools (the doors n' flashlight, wit slightly-altered uses).[22] When tha playa approaches a thugged-out door they can hold a funky-ass button ta close it, n' it will reopen if tha playa moves away or releases tha button. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch fo' realz. A freshly smoked up maniac be added; tha playa must listen fo' tha animatronics' breathing, which can determine whether tha flashlight is used or tha doors closed. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! If tha playa hears breathang all up in tha side doors, they close tha door n' wait fo' tha animatronics ta strutt away. If they close tha doors too early, however, tha animatronics jump scare tha playa when tha door is opened. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! If there is no breathing, tha playa uses tha flashlight ta ward off tha animatronics. If tha playa shines tha flashlight while a animatronic is up in tha doorway, tha playa is ghon be jump-scared. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Foxy lives up in tha closet, n' tha playa wardz his ass off by keepin tha door closed. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Da flashlight, which no longer runs outta power, can deta tha "Freddles" on tha bed.

Five Nights at Freddy's: Sista Location retains tha doors fo' a secret ending.[23][24] Da flashlight is nonfunctional; it is permanently on when up in certain rooms, n' permanently off up in others fo' realz. An elevated control pad is introduced, which can light a room or shock tha animatronics. Other mechanics include a second control pad up in tha breaker room (which controls juice ta tha facility) n' a gangbangin' flash beacon, which allows tha playa ta peep up in tha dark Funtime Auditorium n' stay tha fuck away from its animatronic. Sista Location is tha only game where tha playa can move between rooms.[25]

Freddy Fazbearz Pizzeria Simulator has business-style gameplay, n' tha playa must spend in-game scrilla ta loot features fo' tha pizzeria fo' realz. A seriez of minigame can be played by testin tha establishmentz attractions fo' realz. Afta tha playa has completed dis portion of tha game, they complete tasks up in a room n' fend off hostile, previously-salvaged animatronics. Da gameplay of Pizzeria Simulator shares a fuckin shitload of elements wit Five Nights at Freddyz 3, includin tha importizzle of ventilation n' tha mobilitizzle ta distract tha animatronics wit sound.

Each game requires tha playa ta survive fo' five nights, wit each night increasin up in difficulty.[26][27] There be a unlockable sixth night up in all game except Sista Location, wit additionizzle nights varyin by games; tha straight-up original gangsta two game gotz a cold-ass lil customizable seventh night, which allows tha playa ta configure each animatronics AI level.[28][29] A custom night downloadable content be available fo' Sista Location.[30] Da third game aint gots a seventh night; tha fourth game has non-customizable seventh n' eighth nights, n' you can put dat on yo' toast. Da fifth game is tha only game wit five nights, if tha custom night DLC aint included.

Ultimate Custom Night be a cold-ass lil customizable night, up in which almost all charactas is present n' gotz a maximum AI level of "20". There is nuff mechanics included up in tha game, like fuckin doors, vents, ducts, etc. all up in which tha animatronics can enta tha crib fo' realz. Also, there be additionizzle components along wit power, like temperature, noise meter, tha Global Music Box, etc. "Faz-Coins" is also present as in-game currency, which can be used ta loot freshly smoked up crib skins or thangs durin tha night. Da game is noticeably harder than most game up in tha franchise, as all tha charactas is present, wit maximum AI level of "20".

Da spin-off FNaF World be a role-playin game up in which tha playa battlez fo' experience points, unlockin areas as they progress all up in tha game. Da playa reaches one of eight endings, each of which unlocks a trophy on tha title screen when it is completed.[31] Da game received a update, Update 2, which introduced tha animatronic charactas up in Five Nights at Freddyz 4's Halloween DLC n' charactas from Cawthonz olda games. Da update also introduced a funky-ass boss characta fo' tha playa ta defeat n' minigame ta unlock tha freshly smoked up characters.[32]

Five Nights at Freddyz VR: Help Wanted combines tha gameplay of every last muthafuckin other games, as it aint nuthin but a virtual experience of dem wild-ass muthafuckas. Well shiiiit, it has almost tha same gameplay mechanics, correspondin ta tha respectizzle gamez virtual gameplay. Well shiiiit, it also introduces nuff muthafuckin other minigames, up in which tha gameplay is variant, n' also at times has free-roam.

In Five Nights At Freddyz AR: Special Delivery, as tha name suggests, tha gameplay consistz of augmented reality. Da playa can switch on his camera, n' tha footage itself is ghon be tha gamez background. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Da animatronics will try ta battle correspondin ta tha environment. Da animatronics generally have cloaking, which leadz dem ta bein invisible fo' realz. Although, they can be peeped when they is rushin all up in tha playa or goin haywire. Da playa can bust a cold-ass lil controlled shock ta shock tha animatronics n' prevent gettin jumpscared. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! As previous installments, dis game also has limited juice available fo' its certain mechanics. Da playa can also make they own endoskeletons by obtainin parts by certain means n' bustin animatronics ta they playas.

Common elements

Securitizzle cameras

All tha main game except tha fourth n' tha sixth gotz a security-camera system, which observes tha animatronic characters. One location can be viewed at a time, n' some areas aint visible on tha cameras.[18] Most camera feedz is dull, sometimes almost black n' white up in color, n' full of video noise. In tha third game, tha cameras stop hustlin if they associated system fails.[33] Cameras is used up in Five Nights at Freddy's: Sista Location as a maniac up in tha fake endin n' custom night DLC, not up in tha main game.

Lights

Lights (includin tha flashlight n' flash beacon) is found up in all but tha third main game fo' realz. Although they use varies by game, lights is generally used ta ward off animatronics or warn tha playa n' shit. Lights up in tha straight-up original gangsta n' second game is activated wit buttons on tha walls n' illuminizzle tha playaz blind spots: tha doorway or vent exit, respectively.[18] Da lights is similar up in tha fifth game yo, but is mounted on a cold-ass lil control pad n' illuminizzle tha animatronics. Da flashlight up in tha second n' fourth game has a gangbangin' finite battery game, n' must be turned on n' off up in tha second game.[34] Da flash beacon, introduced up in Sista Location, is used ta orient tha playa up in tha third n' fifth nights' pitch-black rooms.[26]

Jump scares

Jump scares is up in all of tha series' main game when any animatronic reach (and attack) tha playa.[35] In most jump scares, a animatronic characta suddenly appears up in tha playaz view followed by a funky-ass bangin bellow. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Some jump scares, includin dem by Golden Freddy (in tha straight-up original gangsta game), Nightmare, n' Nightmarionne, consist of a single screen wit shrill, distorted audio; these jump scares probably crash (or restart) tha game. Da playa can use tools ta prevent attacks (and jump scares).[22]

Minigames

Five Nights at Freddyz 3 "Happiest Day" minigame from

In all game except tha straight-up original gangsta n' tha seventh, tha playa gains access ta a seriez of (predominantly eight-bit) minigames�"randomly afta dirtnap, or afta completin a specific task.[36] Da minigame probably relate ta a rap or event relevant ta tha game, up in a cold-ass lil cryptic manner.[37] Da minigame up in Five Nights at Freddyz 2 reportedly portray previously-mentioned homicides, n' tha reason of tha animatronics bustin game.[20] Da minigame up in Five Nights at Freddyz 3 show tha rap behind Springtrapz creation, n' tha Puppetz succeeded effortz of lettin tha lil pimps pass on ta tha afterlife. Minigame up in Five Nights at Freddyz 4 tell tha rap of a cold-ass lil characta (possibly tha playa) whoz ass takes a thugged-out dirt nap up in a tragic accident.[37]There is only one minigame up in Sista Location, which depicts tha rap behind Lil' Willy Aftonz daughter n' shit. Da minigame up in Freddy Fazbearz Pizzeria Simulator depict various events up in tha franchise, all connected ta Afton.

Phone calls

In all tha main game except tha fourth n' fifth, tha playa receives a telephone voice message from a previous worker (or baller) of tha location. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Da lyrics is a tutorial fo' tha playa, describin nuff muthafuckin gameplay mechanics n' outlinin tha locationz backstory.[38] In tha straight-up original gangsta n' second game, tha voice up in tha lyrics is tha same; up in tha third game, it has a California accent. Sista Location has a AI voice which tutors tha playa n' shit. Phone calls from tha straight-up original gangsta game can be heard up in Five Nights at Freddyz 4 as a Easta egg.[39]

Closings

In tha straight-up original gangsta three main games, tha playaz location closes shortly afta tha game ends; up in tha straight-up original gangsta game, tha location is holla'd ta close by tha yearz end cuz of a "tragedy dat took place there nuff muthafuckin years ago".[38] Da Five Nights at Freddyz 2 location closes cuz of malfunctionin animatronics,[38] n' Five Nights at Freddyz 3's location closes afta a gangbangin' fire.[40] Circus Babyz Pizzy Ghetto is closed before Sista Location begins, apparently cuz of a gas leak.[41]

Characters

Humans

Da main charactas up in tha Five Nights at Freddy's series is generally securitizzle guardz hustlin at a Freddy Fazbearz Pizzy or related location. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. None have distinct personalities, n' most of tha gameplay is from they point of view. In Five Nights at Freddy's, tha guardz name is Mike Schmidt, lata revealed ta be Mike Afton. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. In Five Nights at Freddyz 2, tha guard is named Jeremy Fitzgerald fo' tha five nights n' tha bonus sixth night; he is replaced on tha custom night by Fritz Smizzle. Da name of tha securitizzle guard at Fazbearz Fright: Da Horror Attraction up in Five Nights at Freddyz 3 is unknown, however, nuff theorize dat tha securitizzle guard may be Mike Afton yet again n' again n' again or Henry Emily, tha daddy of tha Puppet. Da main characta of Five Nights at Freddyz 4 be a anonymous protagonist whoz ass has nightmares bout tha animatronics yo. Dude is most often theorized ta be Mike Afton, tha lil hustla of Lil' Willy Afton (also known as "the Purple Guy") afta tha straight-up original gangsta game cuz of tha a shitload of eastsidea eggs. Da playa up in Five Nights at Freddy's: Sista Location n' Freddy Fazbearz Pizzeria Simulator is confirmed ta be Mike Afton. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Da playa up in Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted be a biatch named Vanny. Even though Illest Custom Night is regarded as a standalone game, nuff theorize it takes place afta Freddy Fazbearz Pizzeria Simulator, wit tha playa controllin Lil' Willy Afton bein tortured up in hell by one of his suckas.

Except fo' Mike Schmidt/Mike Afton, Jeremy Fitzgerald, Fritz Smizzle, Lil' Willy Afton, Henry Emily (the playa on tha cassette up in Freddy Fazbearz Pizzeria Simulator), Vanny n' other less blingin characters, none of tha other human charactas up in tha series is named. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! In tha straight-up original gangsta three games, a playa identified as Phone Guy leaves a recordin all up in tha beginnin of each night which advises tha playa bout dealin wit tha animatronics. Phone Guy is present on all five nightz of Five Nights at Freddyz 2, four of tha main nights up in Five Nights at Freddy's, four of tha main nights up in Five Nights at Freddyz 3, n' night six of tha second n' third game fo' realz. Although he aint present up in tha fourth n' fifth games, his wild lil' first-night recordin up in tha original gangsta game is sometimes played backwardz up in Five Nights at Freddyz 4.[42] His call all up in tha start of night four of Five Nights at Freddy's implies dat da thug was capped by tha animatronics. In tha third game, a playa identified as Phone Dude, calls tha playa on tha straight-up original gangsta two nights ta tell his ass bout tha exhibit, while Phone Guy is heard up in archived recordings discovered by tha creatorz of Fazbearz Fright, on all other nights, n' you can put dat on yo' toast. Five Nights at Freddy's: Sista Location has a humanoid AI named HandUnit, who, like Phone Guy, tutors tha playa n' shit.

Da series' main antagonist is Lil' Willy Afton, co-smoker n' balla of Fazbear Entertainment (the company behind Freddy Fazbearz Pizzy n' Fredbearz Family Diner) n' CEO of Afton Robotics (the company behind Circus Babyz Pizzy Ghetto n' Circus Babyz Entertainment & Rental).[43] A serial killer, Afton murdered nuff muthafuckin lil pimps (the game hint dat itz round eleven) whose spirits bust moves up in tha animatronics. In tha third game, it is hustled dat he moonwalked back ta Freddy Fazbearz Pizzy afta it closed ta dismantle tha animatronics. This busted out tha dead childrenz spirits, scarin his ass tha fuck into hidin n' bein crushed ta dirtnap fo' realz. Afton becomes Springtrap, tha third gamez main antagonist.[44] In tha sixth game he returns as a mo' withered version of Springtrap (known as Scraptrap) when he reunites wit his fuckin lil' daughta n' one of two sons, before bein burned kickin it by Henry, his oldschool bidnizz partner n' shit. Da seventh game implies da thug was resurrected digitally via tha scanned circuitz of tha animatronics n' became Glitchtrap, successfully possessin Vanny, tha playa character n' shit. Well shiiiit, it is speculated da thug will play a major role up in tha upcomin Five Nights at Freddy's: Securitizzle Breach.

Animatronics

Da first game has four main animatronics: Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie tha Bunny, Chica tha Chicken, n' Foxy tha Pirate Fox fo' realz. A fifth animatronic (Golden Freddy) occasionally appears,[28] n' his jump scare can crash tha game. Da four main animatronics return up in various forms up in tha followin games, except fo' Chica (who be absent from tha fifth game), while Golden Freddy rarely appears, often as a secret character n' shit. In tha second game, "Withered" versionz of tha charactas is present, along wit they freshly smoked up "Toy" counterparts, n' Balloon Boy n' tha Puppet. Da only legit animatronic up in tha third game is Springtrap, whoz ass be lookin like a thugged-out decayed golden version of Bonnie.[45] Additionally, Freddy, Chica, Foxy, Balloon Boy, Mangle, n' tha Puppet return as hallucinations (or "phantoms"), disturbin tha gameplay n' allowin Springtrap ta end tha night.[46]

In tha fourth game, nightmare versionz of tha original gangsta four animatronics (Nightmare Bonnie, Nightmare Chica, Nightmare Foxy, n' Nightmare Freddy) haunt tha protagonist fo' realz. A nightmare version of Fredbear replaces tha animatronics on tha fifth night n' is tha gamez main antagonist.[22] Two animatronics debut: Plushtrap (a toy version of Sprin Bonnie)[47] n' Nightmare, a thugged-out dark version of Nightmare Fredbear whose jump scare resets tha game. Da gamez Halloween edizzle also has Nightmare Balloon Boy (who replaces Plushtrap), Nightmare Mangle (who replaces Nightmare Foxy), n' Nightmarionne, a nightmare version of tha Puppet whoz ass replaces Nightmare. Nightmare Bonnie n' Nightmare Chica receive freshly smoked up skins up in tha Halloween edizzle which resemble Jack-o'-lanterns.[48] Besides Nightmare Balloon Boy, none of tha Halloween edizzle charactas is initially holla'd ta be canon n' only serve as re-skins fo' they correspondin character, although, all tha DLC animatronics did step tha fuck up in Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted all kindsa muthafuckin theorize dat tha DLC animatronics may be considered canon.

In tha spin-off role-playin game FNaF World, tha playa can unlock up ta 30 characters�"charactas from tha straight-up original gangsta four game n' charactas from Cawthonz other games: Coffee from Da Desolate Hope, Chipper from Chipper n' Sons Lumber Co, Funtime Foxy (an intact version of Mangle) n' Animdude, tha characta on Cawthonz logo. Lolbit (a characta from Five Nights at Freddy's: Sista Location) debuts as a non-player character.[49] Enemies up in FNaF World resemble original gangsta charactas (Ballboy n' Balloon Boy, White Rabbit n' Toy Bonnie, Redbear n' Shadow Freddy) or is designed (and named) ta match they location (Chop 'N Roll up in tha forest, n' Chillax up in tha snowy fields).[50][51]

In tha fifth game, "Funtime" versionz of tha original gangsta cast (except Chica) is present, along wit Ballora, Minireenas, Bidybabs, n' tha main antagonist Circus Baby joinin dem wild-ass muthafuckas. On tha last night, each of dem merge they endoskeletons ta form Ennard. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! In tha non-canon custom night, four freshly smoked up charactas was added, namely Bonnet, Electrobab, Yenndo, n' Lolbit. Yenndo n' Lolbit step tha fuck up in tha canon nights as Easta eggs.

In tha sixth installment, only four animatronics is a threat ta tha playa: Scraptrap (Springtrap afta tha third game), Scrap Baby (Circus Baby afta bein forcefully detached from Ennard), Lefty (an animatronic wit tha Puppet trapped inside), n' Molten Freddy (those dat remained up in Ennard). There is also other charactas yo, but only fo' decorating. These include Rockstar versionz of tha original gangsta cast, Candy Cadet, Securitizzle Puppet, Funtime Chica, El Chip, Music Man, tha Mediocre Melodies (Nedd Bear, Orville Elephant, Kool as fuck Frog, Mista Muthafuckin yo. Hippo, n' Pig Patch), n' Trash n' tha Gang (Bucket Bob, Mista Muthafuckin Can Do, No. 1 Crate, Mista Muthafuckin yo. Hugs, n' Pan Stan). Only Lefty be also included as a thugged-out decoration up in tha pizzeria yo. Helpy, a miniature version of Funtime Freddy, also appears as a helper fo' tha playa.

In Illest Custom Night, nuff charactas from tha six installments is present. Oldskool Man Consequences, a cold-ass lil characta from FNaF World, be also present, along wit Dee Dee (and her shadow form named XOR), whoz ass summons other minor charactas from tha series.

Many other charactas also step tha fuck up in tha series as rare scenes. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Shadow Bonnie n' Shadow Freddy rarely step tha fuck up in tha second game. When stared at fo' too time, they crash tha game, like Golden Freddy from tha straight-up original gangsta game. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Shadow Freddy also appears up in tha third game, as a Easta egg fo' realz. Additionally, up in tha second game, a endoskeleton, known as Endo-2, is spotted rarely. Endo-1 is present up in tha straight-up original gangsta game, wit no major role fo' realz. A biatch counterpart of Balloon Boy, JJ, also can be rarely peeped under tha crib table, posin no threat. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Biatch also returns up in Illest Custom Night. Fredbear n' Sprin Bonnie, although not present up in any of tha nights, is shown all up in minigames. Fredbearz counterparts, Nightmare Fredbear n' Golden Freddy, can be peeped up in they respectizzle games, while Fredbear his dirty ass cook up a cold-ass lil cameo up in his fuckin legit form up in Illest Custom Night. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Sprin Bonnie appears up in tha game as Springtrap, wit Lil' Willy Afton up in tha suit, which further goes on ta become Scraptrap yo. His Nightmare counterpart, Plushtrap, be also present.

In Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted, nuff of tha charactas up in tha series is present. Blacklight versionz of tha original gangsta cast, Mangle, n' Springtrap step tha fuck up in tha Blacklight levels. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Some freshly smoked up charactas appear, includin Plushbabies, Grimm Foxy, n' Dredbear. Shiiit, dis aint no joke. Da main antagonist, Glitchtrap, is peeped as a virtual version of Sprin Bonnie n' Lil' Willy Afton. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch.

In Five Nights at Freddyz AR: Special Delivery, no freshly smoked up animatronics is introduced; only animatronics from tha previous series n' they various re-skins appear. Shiiit, dis aint no joke. Glitchtrap is only hinted at up in in-game emails.

Cheesez n' ShizzleBiz Pizzy Place) from 12 A.M. ta 6 A.M. game time (approximately seven minutes n' six seconds), without bein beat down by any of tha animatronic enemy charactas dat wander from room ta room. There is multiple different animatronic characters: withered versionz of tha original gangsta gamez antagonists: Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie tha Bunny, Chica tha Chicken, Foxy tha Pirate, n' Golden Freddy, as well as toy versionz of Freddy, Bonnie, Chica n' Foxy (referred ta as "Mangle"), tha Marionette (often referred ta as "Da Puppet"), n' a humanoid robot (referred ta as “Balloon Boy").

Five Nights at Freddyz 3 (2015)

In January 2015, a image was uploaded ta Cawthonz joint teasin a third entry up in tha series.[61] Other images followed[62] before a traila was busted out on January 26, 2015. On February 15, Cawthon posted on Steam dat Five Nights at Freddyz 3 was shut down afta a hacker allegedly leaked tha game.[63] This was lata revealed as a hoax; tha "leaked" downlizzle linked ta a humorous clone of Cawthonz previous game, There is No Pause Button![64] Five Nights at Freddyz 3 was busted out fo' Microsizzlez Windows on March 3, 2015, wit Andrizzle n' iOS ports followin on March 7 n' 12. PlayStation 4, Xbox One, n' Nintendo Switch console ports was busted out on November 29, 2019.[57]

Yo, set thirty muthafuckin years afta tha eventz of tha straight-up original gangsta game, its main characta works at Fazbearz Fright: a horror attraction based on tha long-gone Freddy Fazbearz Pizza.[65] Da playa must defend theyselves from tha deteriorated animatronic-costume hybrid Springtrap, tha only animatronic dat tha attractionz workers could find.[21] Burnt n' tattered hallucinationz of previous games' animatronics appear; although they cannot bust a cap up in tha playa, they hinder ventilation, sound, n' camera systems (which can also fail by other means). Failure ta maintain tha systems can create nuff thangs fo' tha playa, includin dysfunctionizzle cameras n' tha inabilitizzle ta play audio ta lure away tha animatronic. Da playa receives guidizzle from a gangbangin' smoker of tha horror attraction fo' tha straight-up original gangsta two nights, n' listens ta oldschool tape recordings (related ta tha backstory of previous locations) which was found by tha attractionz workers.[66]

Da game has two endings: a "good" endin n' a "bad" ending. Da phat endin is reached by completin secret minigame up in which animatronic charactas brang a cold-ass lil cake ta what tha fuck seems ta be a sorrowful childz soul, thought by some ta imply dat tha soulz of tha murdered lil pimps done been freed.[67]

Five Nights at Freddyz 4 (2015)

On April 27, 2015, Cawthon fuckin started postin images on his joint teasin another game up in tha series which was originally known as Five Nights at Freddy's: Da Final Chapter.[68] A traila was busted out on July 13, 2015, hintin dat tha game was set up in tha main characterz house.[69][70] Five Nights at Freddyz 4 was announced wit a release date of October 31, 2015. Dat shiznit was pushed forward ta August 8 n' again n' again n' again ta July 23, when tha game was unexpectedly busted out on Microsizzlez Windows all up in Steam fo' realz. Andrizzle n' iOS ports was busted out on July 25 n' August 3, 2015. PlayStation 4, Xbox One, n' Nintendo Switch console ports was busted out on November 29, 2019.[57]

Da playa characta be a lil' boy, wit delusionz of bein beat down by nightmarish versionz of tha original gangsta animatronic characters.[37] Da playa must defend theyselves wit a gangbangin' flashlight, doors, n' hearing ta locate tha animatronics. Da rap of (possibly) tha same lil' pimp is holla'd at up in minigames, up in which he is bullied cuz of his crazy-ass muthafuckin irrationizzle fear of a restaurant wit a yellow animatronic bear n' rabbit yo. Dude is guided by a animatronic plush toy, whoz ass speaks ta tha characta when he is ridin' solo. Da lil pimp is eventually capped by Fredbear, tha bear animatronic, up in a gangbangin' freak accident.[39] Da game had Halloween-style DLC wit "nightmare" versionz of animatronics from Five Nights at Freddyz 2 n' Halloween-themed reskins fo' Nightmare Bonnie n' Nightmare Chica.[71]

Five Nights at Freddy's: Sista Location (2016)

Cawthon posted a teaser image on his joint up in April 2016 of a cold-ass lil clown-like animatronic named Circus Baby from a upcomin game, Five Nights at Freddy's: Sista Location.[72] Several teaser imagez of different charactas n' hints at they origins followed.[73] Da traila fo' tha game was busted out on Cawthonz YallTube channel, wit freshly smoked up animatronics n' a freshly smoked up location. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Da release date was announced as October 7, 2016. Cawthon done cooked up a prank release of tha game on October 5, apparently releasin a "mature" edizzle afta a thugged-out decision ta delay tha game ta make it mo' kid-friendly. Da downlizzle link hustled ta a cold-ass lil clone of Cawthonz previous game, Sit 'N Survive.[74] Five Nights at Freddy's: Sista Location was busted out fo' Microsizzlez Windows on October 7, 2016, followed by ports fo' Andrizzle on December 22, 2016 n' iOS on January 3, 2017. Dat shiznit was also busted out on Nintendo Switch up in Uptown Tha Ghetto on June 18, 2020, n' on Xbox One on July 10, 2020.

Da playa character, apparently named Mike n' clowninly called Eggs Benzedrine,[75] is a freshly smoked up hommie of Circus Babyz Rentals n' Entertainment (a sista company of Fazbear Entertainment which rents animatronics fo' childrenz parties). Da animatronics was originally intended fo' Circus Babyz Pizzy World, which never opened cuz of a gas leak.[41] Mike is guided by HandUnit, a AI characta similar ta tha Phone Guy of previous game yo. HandUnit instructs his ass bout his thang, often spittin some lyrics ta his ass ta disregard safety; tha animatronic Circus Baby often gives instructions which contradict HandUnit's, n' is vital ta survival.

Da game has "custom night" DLC,[76] up in which tha playa can use mechanics reminiscent of tha straight-up original gangsta game (like fuckin interactizzle doors n' a cold-ass lil camera system) which was absent from tha main game. New minigame is also available up in tha DLC, describin tha fate of "Mike" afta tha eventz of Sista Location.[77] A cutscene is shown afta tha "Golden Freddy" custom-night preset, up in which a cold-ass lil characta named "Michael" speaks ta his wild lil' daddy up in a gangbangin' forebodin way.[43]

On December 4, 2017, afta teasin tha game nuff muthafuckin minutes earlier, Cawthon busted out Freddy Fazbearz Pizzeria Simulator on Steam.[80] Da game appears ta be a funky-ass bidnizz-simulation game up in which tha playa plans (and runs) a pizzeria yo, but frequently shifts tha fuck into tha survival-horror vein of tha series' other main games. Da playa may accept a cold-ass lil corporate sponsor fo' tha restaurant yo, but bustin so causes bangin vizzle adz from tha sponsor ta play durin tha gamez night shifts (makin it hard as fuck ta hear approachin animatronics).[81] Da playa has tha option of salvagin damaged animatronics from tha previous games, increasin revenue n' tha possibilitizzle of bein beat down durin tha night shifts.

On August 18, 2018, Cawthon confirmed on his Steam thread dat tha next main installment up in tha Five Nights at Freddy's series would be available as a virtual reality game.[82] On March 25, 2019, durin Sony Interactizzle Entertainmentz State of Play live stream announcin nuff muthafuckin freshly smoked up game fo' tha PlayStation 4, a traila announcin tha game was shown.[83] In tha game, tha playa be a technician repairin a pizzeriaz animatronics.

Grahame-Smith holla'd dat they would collaborate wit Cawthon "to cook up a insane, terrifyin n' weirdly adorable porno".[116] In July 2015, Gil Kenan signed ta direct tha adaptation n' co-write it wit Tyla Burton Smizzle.[117]

Reception

Da first game was praised by muthafuckas. Joel Couture of Indie Game Magazine commended its artistic design, freestylin dat "itz a incredibly terrifyin experience ta try ta save yo ass from tha single jump scare dat endz tha game" n' callin tha game a "fantastic example of how tha fuck defnizz up in design n' subtlety can be used ta cook up a experience terrifying".[135] PC Gamer's Omri Petitte noted dat playas would probably be familiar wit its setting, similar ta restaurants like fuckin Chuck E. Cheesez fo' realz. Although "the AI aint some masterwork of procedural unpredictability, it would [still] head straight ta you n' smoke yo' grill off, or it'll play round like a innocent lil pimp before closin up in fo' tha kill. Yo crazy-ass mind will fill up in tha rest."[136]

Da second game received mixed ta positizzle props. Petitte of PC Gamer freestyled dat what tha fuck dat schmoooove muthafucka had hoped fo' up in tha sequel "was mo' mind game n' mo' uncertainty. I wanted tha ploddin animatronic suits ta find mah crazy ass n' rip mah grill off up in freshly smoked up n' bangin-ass ways. I wanted hustlin hairy-ass legs ... what tha fuck I gots was a horror game dippin heavily tha fuck into deception n' subtlety ... trippin' off tha phat parts, though, comes wit a cold-ass lil cost of a gangbangin' frustratingly steep difficulty".[34] Nic Rowen of Destructoid gave tha game a generally positizzle review, saying: "It aint nuthin but straight-up terrifyin ta know dat you could be beat down at any moment from multiple avenues" n' praisin tha freshly smoked up animatronics n' mechanics yo, but dissin its jump scares n' callin tha game "too hard fo' its own good".[137]

Da third game was slightly less ghettofab wit muthafuckas fo' realz. A PC Gamer review holla'd dat although they enjoyed tha reworked camera system, tha animatronics' jump scares "felt a lil stale by tha third night" n' became buggin.[138] A Destructoid review holla'd dat although Five Nights at Freddyz 3 was "by far da most thugged-out technologically proficient n' mechanically satisfyin installment yet", Fazbearz Fright n' Springtrap "[lacked the] charm of tha original gangsta cast n' locations".[139]

Da fourth n' fifth game received mixed props, wit Destructoid dissin tha fourth gamez excessively-loud jump scares n' callin its breathang maniac too hard as fuck n' confusin fo' playas fo' realz. A GameZebo reviewer, however, praised tha gamez intense environment, creepy soundz n' graphics, n' jump scares.[140] A PC Gamer reviewer called it "another rivet up in tha series' steel-clad design which immortalized its Letz Play legacy up in all dem short months" n' "certainly tha scariest of tha four [games]", dissin its gameplay ("the humdrum repetizzle of tha same sequence over n' over ... is too much of a cold-ass lil chore ta straight-up pull me in") n' tha lack of tha series' signature camera system.[141]

Destructoid called tha fifth game "slightly above average" n' noted dat "fanz of tha genre should trip off dis game yo, but a gangbangin' fair few is ghon be left unfulfilled."[142] A GameCrate review holla'd dat "Sista Location be a gangbangin' dunkadelic horror game, even if it don't particularly feel like tha rest of tha FNaF series."[143]

Da sixth game received mostly-positizzle props, wit GameCrate callin it a "must-play game fo' Five Nights at Freddy's fans" n' tha "best value up in gamin right now".[144] Rock, Paper, Shotgun also gave tha game a positizzle review, callin it "spooky as hell".[145]

Illest Custom Night received positizzle props. Dominic Tarason of Rock, Paper, Shotgun called tha game "an intriguin mess",[146] n' Shaun Prescott of PC Gamer busted lyrics bout it "a neat, customisable take on tha funky-ass game horror formula".[147]
