Overview Five Nights at Freddy’s 4 (FNaF 4) is the fourth main installment in Scott Cawthon’s Five Nights at Freddy’s series, released in 2015. Unlike earlier entries set in security- or maintenance-focused locations, FNaF 4 places the player in a child’s bedroom where nightmarish, twisted versions of the animatronics stalk the player. The game emphasizes psychological horror, childhood fear, and unreliable perception.
