The game Five Nights at Freddy's (fnaf) came out for Microsoft Windows on August 8, 2014. The game is about a character Mike Schmidt. He starts working as a night security guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Where the animatronics move at night and kill anyone they see by stuffing them into a spare animatronic suit.

They said that animatronic movement is a "free-roaming" mode that is a program on purpose to keep the servomotors from locking up. From 12 a.m. to 6 a.m., the player must stay alive. To protect themselves from the animatronics, they can only use a camera system and two doors with lights. The hostile behavior of the animatronics comes from the angry spirits of children who died at the restaurant.

The previous night guard, "Phone Guy," guides the players and helps them fight the animatronics. After seven nights on the job, Mike is fired. Because "messing with the animatronics, having bad body odor, and being generally unprofessional."
