"
five nights at freddy's" was released in 2014 for PC and consoles and quickly gained a large fan base due to its unique survival horror gameplay. The game casts the player as the night watchman, who must utilize blurry security camera feeds and electronic door controls to follow the animatronics' activities. The player wins if they survive five nights and a bonus night (by getting fired). Subsequent sequels and tie-in books developed the game's universe and macabre lore.
