Five Nights at Freddy's is Scott Cawthon's first survival horror point-and-click game. It was released on Desura on August 8, 2014 (but later removed) and on Steam on August 18, 2014. The player's goal is to survive five nights at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza without being caught, stuffed into a mascot costume, and killed by the animatronic characters. It's set in the same timeline as Five Nights at Freddy's 2 and the prequel to 3.

Your small office must monitor security cameras. Nightly electricity usage is limited (corporate budget cuts, you know). No more nighttime security doors or lights! If Freddybear or his friends are out of place, you must find them on the monitors and defend yourself.
