Five Nights at Freddy's is now available
on Steam, offering an
offbeat simulation with a creepy vibe based around conflicts with animatronic
bears in a haunted pizza parlor, which is not what we would call a crowded genre
(thanks nin via
Joystiq). Here's word on this unusual game:
Welcome to your new summer
job at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, where kids and parents alike come for
entertainment and food as far as the eye can see! The main attraction is Freddy
Fazbear, of course; and his two friends. They are animatronic robots, programmed
to please the crowds! The robots' behavior has become somewhat unpredictable at
night however, and it was much cheaper to hire you as a security guard than to
find a repairman.
From your small office you must watch the security cameras carefully. You have a
very limited amount of electricity that you're allowed to use per night
(corporate budget cuts, you know). That means when you run out of power for the
night- no more security doors and no more lights! If something isn't right-
namely if Freddybear or his friends aren't in their proper places, you must find
them on the monitors and protect yourself if needed!
Can you survive five nights at Freddy's?
