Five Nights
at Freddy's 4, (originally named Five Nights
at Freddy's: The Final Chapter in development and often abbreviated to FNaF4),
is an indiepoint-and-clicksurvival horrorvideo game created
by Scott Cawthon. It is the fourth
installment of the Five
Nights at Freddy's series. Originally planned for release on October 31, 2015, the game was pushed forward to August 8, then again to July 23, when it was unexpectedly released
on Steam.[1] It
was released for Android devices on July 25,
2015, and for iOS devices on August 3,
2015.
Unlike previous Five Nights at Freddy's games,
the game is not set in a security office, but in a child's bedroom. There are no cameras, and instead of "Phone Guy", the player is given on-screen instructions to help the player during the
game.[2] The
player is equipped with a flashlight, similar to the second game, although the light has
unlimited power.[3] It
can be used to ward away any animatronics seen down the hall; however, if the player hears either Nightmare Bonnie's or Nightmare Chica's breathing at the door or they see Nightmare Fredbear or
Nightmare upon turning on the flashlight, they must immediately close the door, however, the door will open as the player walks away. The player must also monitor the closet to avoid getting attacked
by Nightmare Foxy by closing it if necessary, as well as shooing three miniature animatronics named 'Freddles' on the bed before they summon Nightmare Freddy to attack the player. If the player is
not careful in shining the light towards the hallways or leaves the doors, closet, and bed unattended for too long, the player will be jumpscared,
leading to a game over.
