Five Nights at Freddys Simulator sends the player to Freddy Fazbear's pizzeria, where truly terrible things happen. Indie horror contains elements of a business simulator. The gameplay has added funds needed to purchase animatronics - complex robots that consist of a metal endoskeleton, which is dressed in a plush suit, and looks like an anthropomorphic person or animal. Animatronics were created as employees of the establishment in order to entertain children and adults, as well as perform various types of work. This is Freddy the bear and Bonnie the hare, Chica the chicken and Foxy the fox, who once decided that it was necessary to work at night so that their servos would not burn out from idleness. The problem is that it is at night, when meeting a person, that the heroes mistake him for an endoskeleton, which must be dressed in a mechanical suit-shell. The user also purchases various items for the pizzeria. The user will try on the role of a night security guard of the establishment, who will have to sit in the office at night, watching what is happening through cameras, and defending himself from the animatronic villains.Available at the start of Five Nights at Freddy's:
- Fred Fazbear - an antagonist, an animatronic bear with a black bow tie, top hat and microphone, who is in Free Roaming, that is, he can turn on in the dark. Pushes people into suits, and can, after the protagonist's energy runs out, go to his office and moves exclusively out of sight of the cameras.
- Bonnie - an animatronic rabbit with long ears and a lilac body color, as well as a red bow tie. Entertains the crowd with bass guitar. The most active character can turn off the cameras.
- Plustrap - a villain, plush variation of Bonnie, or is known as a spring trap. Not able to kill, but noticeably slows down the player's movement process. Moves when the light turned off, and from a regular toy in such circumstances it changes to a dangerous tricster.
FNAF clearly proclaims the conditions for visiting the pizzeria: in case of property or a person damage, the report is submitted within 90 days, and cleaning will be cleaned first. Here, the user can try on the role of not a guard, but one of the heroes of animatronics, or antagonists. All parts of the game are united in the horror, so there are all locations, levels, characters that Gamer himself chooses at the start.
