Since it is Halloween, or at least the month of and I am covering several things horror themed I figured it only fair to cover the popular horror game Five Nights at Freddy's which is up to number 4, as it is a small indie game there won't be much to say about each one.  I will post links to some people playing the games if you want to watch and a few other bonus videos and pictures.

Check out Markiplier's YouTube page for more Five Nights at Freddy's Playthroughs.

Five Nights at Freddy's: The one that starts it all, you are a overnight (12 am to 6 am) security guard for Freddy Fazbear's pizza. You are in an office with lights outside both doors which are open, you can close them but it cost electricity/energy. You only have so much and everything you do takes away from it, you have to use your video cameras to keep an eye on all the animatronics from Freddy the bear, to Bonnie the bunny, Chicka the Chicken and even Foxy. 

You have to keep watch and shut the door when they come up the hallway to your office, you have to guard things for 5 nights plus a harder 6th night and each night you have a recorded message telling you what to do and some backstory in to all of this. The game proceeds to slowly build up tension and uses major jump scares throughout. At the end you get your paycheck and learn some more about what happened but not everything. Including something about a bite of '87.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2:  This is a prequel, you are at a much nicer Freddy's with sleek, more cartoon, kid friendly animatronics that still want you dead. You learn more about why, I won't spoil all the story but Freddy's Family Diner(the first of the restaurants) and Freddy Fazbear's Pizza have a disturbing history of murder and child endangerment. You are a different security guard this time, maybe even one hinted at in the first game, You are again overnight but this time there are NO doors, you have a flashlight with limited power and can watch the video camera with no energy drain.

Now you also have a few other things to watch out for, there are two air vents into the office and a long hallway leading right into your office in front of you. You have the four animatronics from the first game as well as the old ones

and Balloon Boy. Mangle joins the group and there is a evil puppet that you can NOT stop and must keep asleep my winding a music box every so often.  This time instead of doors you have a Freddy head you can put on but it does not fool all of the machines. Again you have five nights with a harder bonus sixth night.





Five Nights at Freddy's 3: This is way in the future, by this time Freddy's has been closed up for years and years. The legend of the bite of '87 and all the murders that were unsolved but blame for at least a few were blamed on someone. It is a weird story, someone gets a idea to create a horror house based on the Freddy legend. You are again a night watchman watching over the site where the haunted house will be, you get messages again about stuff they have found and the legends of Freddy's.

This time you have to watch not just the rooms but the air vents, but it is an old system and now and then you have to reset the video or audio or vents or some combo of the three. If you don't you start to have hallucinations of the old animatronics but it doesn't end the game like last time but does distract you which could allow you to lose. On the second night they find SpringTrap, a new animatronic which you learn over the story may very well have a human trapped inside it who could have been the killer from the previous games. Somehow it has stayed "alive" and it's evil has festered waiting to strike and now it is coming after you. 

You learn about the children and the killer, and you have several endings depending on what you do and the choices you make.

Five Nights at Freddy's 4: This one has more story then the others, you play a child in this one, and it is set mostly in your bedroom where nightmare versions of the animatronics come down the hallway, you have to rely on audio clues this time, a nice change from the others where it was mostly sight. You can shut either door while you are near it, Foxy comes from you closet and you can shut that too but as soon as you move back to the safety of the foot of your bed the doors crack open. 

Shadow Freddy's also can attack from behind on your bed, just looking at them make them go away. As the nights progress you learn that your older brother is a giant dick who hides in the house and jumps out at you in a foxy mask, you are sometimes in Freddy's but you want to leave every time, the poor kid always ends up crying on the floor after every scene and you learn a horrifying fact in the end. A bonus to this game is due out on Halloween and is supposed to answer all the questions.
