The stalkers in question are living animatronics of the pizzeria you are working the night shift in. At night, these cute little guys want nothing more than to make their personal acquintances with you. Awww isn't that polite?
This is how it works; as the night janitor, you must guard the property using the various camera's installed along the hallways and rooms. By doing so, you will keep the animatronics in limited check, and hopefully they won't bother for a midnight snack(which you happen to be a part of).
However, you have a limited amount of an electrical power supply available in order to keep checking the camera's, but also to be able to lock the doors in your room and scout the nearby area's with the lights. The more you use your defensive mechanisms, the faster it depletes.
But what's even more scary is that you must also keep checking the door entrances to your left and right, because sometimes the stalkers move with such sneaky movements that they will follow the blind spots of the installed camera's and basically they can scare the shit out of you if you don't know where they are!
The brutal tension is a result of limited controls, the artstyle, the random aspects and the irony that the animatronics are supposed to be cute and friendly! It's such an effective indie game made by 1 guy only that it's quite impressive for what it achieves despite being a short game.
Five Nights at Freddy's is unique, quite unpredictable, effective, entertaining and definitely scary! With each night appearing, it gets increasingly more challenging and tense, and it's hilarious to see others play it too.
The fear of something approaching is the finest moment you will experience in here. Embrace your paranoia with Five Nights at Freddy's!
