Five Nights at Freddy's made its debut in 2014 and quickly gained immense popularity due to its compelling storyline and haunting atmosphere. Players take on the role of night guards in a creepy pizzeria, tasked with surviving five nights while being pursued by a cast of animatronic characters.

The plot centers around these robots being haunted by the spirits of children who were tragically murdered. As the series progressed with numerous sequels, the narrative deepened, and the franchise expanded beyond games into books, merchandise, and an upcoming film adaptation.

In 2016, creator Scott Cawthon launched fnaf world, a whimsical RPG spin-off that added a fresh perspective to the franchise. This RPG format allowed fans to engage with beloved characters like Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy in a new way, focusing on combat and exploration rather than mere survival.
