Five Nights at Freddy's

You'll never see Chuck E. Cheese's the same way again.

Five Nights at Freddy's is a series of Survival Horror games created by Scott Cawthon. In each game[1], you play as a featureless security guard who works the night shift at a local pizzeria. Sounds simple enough, right?

But there's a catch... At night, the animatronics come to life and try to attack you, so you have to keep and eye on them using the security cameras. And if they manage to get into your office, they'll Jump Scare you and it's Game Over.

The first game was released on August 8, 2014, and has since spawned several sequels, some spin-off games, several tie-in books, and even a movie (which had been in the works since April 2015, but didn't actually start filming until February 2023).
