Five Nights at Freddy's, usually shortened FNaF, is an indie point-and-click survival horror video game series by Scott Cawthon (the company named after the developer).
The usual goal of the series is for the player to try to survive the night at a specific location (usually "Freddy Fazbear's Pizza" or a related establishment) while avoiding getting caught and killed by the animatronic characters, and tracking their movements via the location's security cameras.
