Have you ever wondered what it's like to face your fears, armed with nothing but a flashlight and a dwindling power supply? Welcome to the thrilling, heart-pounding world of Five Nights at Freddy's, a game that has captivated millions with its unique blend of horror and strategy. If you're new to the franchise or just looking for a refresher, this guide will walk you through the basics of surviving your first night at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

Introduction to the Nightmare

Fnaf, at its core, is a point-and-click survival horror game. You play as a night security guard, tasked with monitoring a creepy pizza parlor from midnight to 6 AM. Sounds easy, right? Think again. The establishment’s animatronic mascots – Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Bunny, Chica the Chicken, and Foxy the Pirate Fox – have a tendency to "wander" at night. Your goal is to prevent them from reaching your office and, well, doing what animatronics in a horror game do. The beauty of Fnaf lies in its simplicity yet intense atmosphere, where every creak and shadow could signal your impending doom.

Gameplay: Master Your Limited Resources

Your office is your sanctuary, but it's far from invulnerable. You have access to a network of security cameras, which are your eyes and ears throughout the pizzeria. However, using them consumes power, a precious and finite resource. Your office also has two metal doors and lights on either side. These are your primary defense mechanisms against the animatronics.
