Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF) is a point-and-click horror survival game that was founded on a simple enough premise: Last one week working as a night guard in a pizzeria populated by homicidal animatronics.
But what evolved from this concept quickly consumed gamers the world over.
Fast forward a bit and (thanks in part to FNAF's startling jump scares) hilarious/terrifying Let's Plays dominated video-sharing sites, fueling the public's curiosity and resulting in billions of views. Still, gamers soon realized there was more to FNAF than just deadly animatronics.
Lurking in the darkened corners of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza are the threads of a disturbing mystery. This mystery-hidden throughout the game in posters that change, hallucinations, and even the mysterious fifth animatronic-has kept fans playing an replaying that first game since it was released in August of 2014.
So what's all the hype about? We're glad you asked.
