In between nights, the game shifts into 'faux-retro' minigames which follow the child the player is playing as, who is subject to abuse from their father and brother.Īfter beating each night, the player may play a timed minigame titled 'Fun with Plushtrap' (in the Halloween update, Plushtrap is replaced by a nightmarish version of Balloon Boy from the second game) in which a plush edition of Springtrap, the central animatronic in Five Nights at Freddy's 3, must be lured to stop on an X marked on the ground within a specific amount of time. The player must rely on audio cues, such as muffled footsteps, to determine whether an animatronic is approaching, to shine their flashlight or to shut the door. If the player does not sufficiently monitor the four entrances-the bed, two side doors, and the closet-an animatronic will jump scare and kill them, and they must start the night over again. Each night lasts from 12AM to 6AM, or roughly eight minutes in real time. The player, who takes the role of a child, must defend themselves from variants of the four animatronics of the first game-Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy-for five nights. Unlike previous installments, it is set in a child's bedroom rather than a security office.
