If the animatronics get too close to the room that you are in, you have to shut the doors or turn on lights to fend them off.

There are many different cameras, each one connected to a different room in the building, and while the animatronics do not move when you are looking, they can change rooms when you are not. You on the other hand, are stuck in your security room. These animatronics (robots in animal costumes) roam freely all night and are your main enemies in the game. You have to work through 5 nights (hence, the name of the game) and watch low quality security cameras to monitor the animatronics throughout the building. The basic premise of Five Nights at Freddy’s is that you are an overnight security guard at a children’s entertainment center, not unlike Chuckie Cheese. But what is it and why is it so popular? Is it even appropriate for children to be playing in the first place? Five Nights at Freddy’s or “FNAF” for short is a game that has garnered a massive cult following among children and adults alike.
