The original Five Nights at Freddy’s is a landmark in the horror game genre. The game’s premise is simple but effective: players must survive five nights as a security guard at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, where animatronics roam free after hours. Using only security cameras and limited power, players must monitor and defend against these terrifying creatures. The game's minimalism, combined with its eerie atmosphere, creates a palpable sense of dread. The jump scares are some of the most iconic in gaming, and the game’s terrifying concept was a breath of fresh air in a genre dominated by traditional horror. The lore is mysterious and cryptic, keeping players engaged even after they’ve completed the game. FNaF's combination of tension, atmosphere, and limited resources makes it a standout in the indie horror genre.
