There are just a few people on the internet by now that has never heard or played Five Nights at Freddy’s. Sure, it is originally a point and click game for PC’s and even consoles, but Five Nights at Freddy’s has gained a lot of attention from being playable in cellphones and tabs too. It has gained so much popularity though its gameplay is very straightforward and even downright simple. Garnering so many fans from so broad a demographic, this game has gone on to merit two sequels to the original game a testament to the success of this simplistic yet very likable game.
Five nights is a scary game where the player works as a night watchman for a pizza place not that different from a regular Chuck E. Cheese. All one has to do is get through five nights of being in the guard’s quarters. There is one kicker thought at night, the haunted animatronics of the pizza place move and become murderous.
More than anything, the game five nights at Freddy’s succeeds at being one thing-scary. It is, at its very core, a horror game. There is not much that can be said about it except that it is just a bunch of clicking.It does fit in well to the goal of the game though- checking the security cameras for the activities of the scary animatronics and conserving electricity to survive the night.
The game gives a great portrayal of the creepiness that comes with a job of being a night watchman. People have loved the simplicity of the operation of the game and the fact that it is not as complicated as other horror games. That said, the game’s not being complicated most certainly doesn’t mean not complex. Yes, there is a background story to the game. There are a lot of things that happen on and off screen and some that one would just have to be very observant about to know more. In this, the game succeeds by not pretending to be
anything more than what it is- a scary point and click game.
Though there are some detractors, this game still proves to be a very worthwhile endeavor for its creator as it delivers exactly what it promises chills down the player’s spine. This type of game may bore others but for those open-minded and adventurous, this is one that should never be missed.
