The first installment of Scott Cawthon's indie point-and-click survival horror video game series is <a href="https://fivenightsatfreddys.onl">five nights at freddy's</a>. It was released on Desura on August 8, 2014 (though it was later removed at an unknown date), and on Steam on August 18, 2014. The player's goal is to stay at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza for five nights without being caught, stuffed into a mascot costume, and thus killed by the animatronic characters; this is accomplished by tracking their movements using the restaurant's security cameras. The game takes place in the same timeline as Five Nights at Freddy's 2 and serves as a prequel to Five Nights at Freddy's 3, making it the series' fourth installment.
