The first Five Nights at Freddy's release came in 2014, and immediately rose toward the top of the survival horror genre thanks to the deeply tense nature of its sinister gameplay. In the game, the player takes control of a nightshift security guard at a derelict pizzeria known as Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, which is rumored to contain haunted and reanimated life-size animatronics that wander the facility at night.
