—Markiplier

Five Nights at Freddy's is a point-and-click survival horror video game played by Markiplier and the first game in Five Nights at Freddy's series. It was developed by Scott Cawthon and released on August 8, 2014. A sequel titled Five Nights at Freddy's 2 was released on November 11, 2014, only a few months apart from the original.

Game information[]

Plot[]

The true story behind Five Nights at Freddy's is very vague. What little is known reveals that a famous pizzeria known as Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has been popular for many years until an incident known as the Bite of '87 where an animatronic had bit off someone's frontal lobe. The place's popularity began to drop and got worse when five children mysteriously went missing and were presumably murdered when an unknown man dressed up as a mascot lured the children to the back of the place and killed them and stuffed them in the suits as the bodies were never found. Later on the animatronics were reported to have blood and mucus oozing out of their mouths and eyes. By the time the game takes place, the pizzeria is on the verge of closing and is said to be shut down by the years end. In Five Nights at Freddy's 2 it is then revealed that a new entity known asthe Puppetis a mastermind behind many points in the story and brought Freddy and the others to life to give them a chance at revenge against their killer.

Gameplay[]

The player must survive their shift, lasting from midnight to 6:00 a.m. (approximately 8 minutes and 36 seconds in real time and 4 minutes and 30 seconds on the mobile and tablet editions), without being attacked by one of the animatronic animal robots roaming the facility. The player, who sits in an office and is unable to move, is given access to a network of security cameras throughout the facility to track the movement of the animatronic robots. Four of the five characters have distinct movement patterns while the fifth, "Golden Freddy", only appears when certain actions are taken; however, most of the characters' movements take place off-screen. The camera feeds are dimly lit and distorted, one of the rooms only contains an audio feed, and the cameras do not cover certain areas of the building, most notably the two hallways directly to the left and right of the player. The player cannot leave the guard room, but can close the doors to defend themselves, and briefly turn on lights in the hallways to check for animatronics. Use of these actions consume the player's limited electrical power; if the power runs out, the cameras become inoperable, the doors open, and the lights go out, leaving the player with no defense against an attack. Once these things happen, music will play, it will go pitch black, and Freddy will jump scare the player, losing the game.

Trivia[]

  • Mark is sometimes referred to by his self-stylized title as the "King of Five Nights at Freddy's" by his and the game's fanbase due to his perseverance and strive to 100% each title in the main series. His playthroughs also greatly contributed to, both, his and the series' popularity.
  • YouTube wise, Mark was the second person to beat the game's 20/20/20/20 mode—The first one being Bigbug. Mark has stated that this instance of victory had given him more joy than when he beat Vanish a month prior.

FAQs

Is FNAF ok for 8 year olds? ›

Five Nights at Freddy's is all about heart-pounding jump-scares. It's rated 12+, so it's not quite suitable for many preteen players. That said, the series forgoes the blood, gore, and violence typically associated with the horror genre in favor of innocent (if still pretty terrifying) shocks.

Why does Google suggest FNAF? ›

My explanation on WHY Google is showing heaps of results of "fnaf" is because that could be a very popular and prominent topic/trend. That is something that i've found several times across mi career in Search. If this is something that continues to bother you, I'd recommend to use some of the advanced search operators.

How to beat FNAF without doing anything? ›

When you start the night, do nothing until the call ends, when the power should be around 79%, then close down the left door and keep it that way. Doing this prevents Foxy from coming into your room (yes, Foxy can come into your room on night one if you don't do anything at all).

Some strong profanity that are unsuitable for children. Mild profanity is also used as well.

Is the FNAF movie PG-13 or R? ›

Why is Freddy Fazbear so evil? ›

In the original FNAF, setting the tone for the rest of the series, Freddy is possessed by the soul of a murdered child. As such, he and the other animatronics are seeking revenge against their killer, whom they mistake the various night guards for.

Do the animatronics like Mike? ›

Since Mike's babysitter is one of the vandals who gets murdered, Mike is forced to bring his younger sister Abby to work the next night. On the third night, while Mike is asleep, Abby is awoken by the animatronics and ultimately befriends them, but the animatronics are still skeptical of Mike.

Are the FNAF robots evil? ›

The robots- animatronics- in FNaF aren't inherently evil. They just want to be avenged. The reason they try to kill you is because, as a Nightguard working for the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Industry, you're required to wear purple uniforms. William was wearing a purple uniform when he killed those children.

How many laughs does Freddy do? ›

Kitchen-> East hall-> East Hall Corner. If he laughs a sixth time while the door is closed, he has gone back to East Hall (and if he laughs after that he will be back in East Hall Corner), however, if he laughs while the door is open, he is most likely in The Office, and will jumps care you at any point.

Is Five Nights at Freddy's rated R? ›

Blumhouse went for a PG-13 FNAF film right from the beginning to get the film a widespread appeal. An R-rating limits movies to a smaller audience. So, keeping FNAF as PG-13 turned out to be the best decision as it brought in $80 million (per Box Office Mojo) on its opening weekend and $136 million worldwide.

What is the age rating for the FNAF books? ›

According to the book's details on Amazon, the book has a reading level or twelve years or older, so yes. It's 400 pages long and deals with some, uh, serious themes (ie murder) because it's FNAF. Hm, it could be. I'm a 13 year old preteen, that I had actually checked it out of my own school library.
