Oh boy, it’s that time already, and not just for Comic Sans. That’s right, Five Nights At Freddy’s! I’mma go in and look through the gameplay, characters, and most importantly, the LORE.

First up is our boy, Phone Guy. He is-was the night guard before you. More on that later. Luckily, he was kind enough to leave you messages, telling you how to stop the animatronics before they get to you. Again, more on that later.

Next up is You, the player. A man who gives his name, as Mike Schmidt. A night guard at a pizzeria called Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. Sounds legit. Also, you get paid  120 dollars a week. Which is 4 dollars an hour. Meaning this game took place in 1993.

So anyways, Night 1. You are immediately placed in an office with a fan (MatPat’s favorite!), several monitors, a desk (obviously), two doorways, two sets of buttons, one on each side labeled light, and the other buttons labeled door. These will come in very handy in time(!) And a phone. So yeah, once you get in, the phone starts ringing. Let’s read what Phone Guy says! 

“Hello? Hello hello?

Uh, I wanted to record a message for you, to help you get settled in on your first night. Um, I actually worked in that office before you, I’m finishing up my last week now as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I’m here to tell you there’s nothing to worry about, Uh, you’ll do fine. So, let’s just focus on getting you through your first week, okay?

Uh, let’s see, first, there’s an introductory greeting from the company, that I’m supposed to read. Uh, it’s kind of a legal thing, you know.

Um, “Welcome to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, a magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced.” Blah blah blah.

Now that might sound bad, I know. But, there’s really nothing to worry about.

Uh, the animatronic characters here, do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I’d probably be a bit irritable at night too. So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay.

So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uh, they’re left in some kind of free roaming mode at night, uh, something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long? Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too, but then there was The Bite of ’87. Yeah. I-It’s amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know?

Uh, now concerning your safety. The only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won’t recognize you as a person. They’ll pr-They’ll most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now, since that’s against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, they’ll probably try to…forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Um, now, that wouldn’t be so bad, if the suits themselves weren’t filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices. Especially around the facial area. So you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort, and death. Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask. Heh. Yeah, they don’t tell you these things when you sign up.

But hey, first day should be a breeze. I’ll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night.” Wow, what knowledge! But yeah, let’s talk about the only two active on night one, Chica and Bonnie.

Bonnie and Chica work relatively the same, with both slowly making their way to your office. This is why you have the buttons marked, “Door”. Use the doors to make them not able to get you, and make it from 12:00 am to 6:00 am. If they get to you, well… You get stuffed into a Freddy suit and Phone Guy’s prediction comes true. But yeah, that’s all for this post, and as Phone Guy said, I’ll chat with you tomorrow.
