''Five Nights at Freddy's'' is a horror game with a simple premise on paper: you are Mike Schmidt, the newly employed watchman over at [[Suck E. Cheese's|Freddy Fazbear's Pizza]], and are tasked with surveying the restaurant after hours via security camera to make sure no harm whatsoever falls upon the animatronic characters who perform for the visiting children during the day. Sounds easy, right?
Well, your employers didn't quite tell you that the animatronics need to roam around at night to prevent their servos from locking up. Understandable, right?
Well, you also weren't told that the animatronics have screwy AI that causes them to think that any humans spotted after hours are bare endoskeletons, and will react by following restaurant protocol by getting you in costume. And by "getting you in costume", I mean [[Cruel and Unusual Death|shoving you into an empty Freddy Fazbear costume that is filled to the brim with sharp metal components, wires, and crossbeams that will basically act as an iron maiden.]] Well, that's no big deal, right? After all, the only two doors that can lead to your office are easily shut with a press of a button.
Line 18:
* [[Adult Fear]]: While children absolutely love the animatronic band, adults are unnerved by them, and for good reason. {{spoiler|At least five children were murdered in the pizzeria years ago and were stuffed inside of the animatronics. The animatronics still smell awful and are said to leak blood and mucus to this day}}.
** In fact, let's look at the fact that {{spoiler|a monstrous excuse of a human being was able to dress up as one of the characters that children loved, and lured five of them away from their parents and murdered them in cold blood. Just about ''any'' parent in their right mind would be horrified that this could happen to their own child one day.}}
* [[
* [[Alone with the Psycho|Alone with the Psychos]]: There's absolutely no friendly presence aside from the phone messages left behind by a former employee that play at the beginning of each night: it's just you and four bloodthirsty killer animatronics {{spoiler|and a pants-shittingly terrifying hallucination Freddy costume}}.
* {{spoiler|[[And I Must Scream]]: It's heavily implied that the robots are possessed by the spirits of dead children who were murdered in the restaurant by a madman in a costume and have no way to move on to the afterlife while they are forever trapped within the animatronic bodies of the characters they loved so much.}}
Line 27:
* [[Artificial Stupidity]]: The animatronics don't suffer from this as they're quite adept at slipping into the office whenever you're distracted, but at the end of the day, they will ''always'' enter from a certain door: Bonnie and Foxy through the left, Chica and Freddy from the right. If you close one door, it will be impossible for two to get in, though one of the other two remaining will kill you from the other while Freddy will flat out murder you if you shut both.
* [[Bait and Switch]]: All promotional materials for the game made it seem like you'd only have to be dealing with three animatronics: Bonnie, Chica, and Freddy. Come Night 2 however, you're going to start needing to keep tabs on Pirate Cove on a regular basis, unless if you're ready for the unexpected fourth animatronic Foxy to bum rush you. And as a truly nasty surprise, he's able to show up on Night 1 in case if you thought you could cheese the night by simply never checking your monitor because unlike Bonnie and Chica who only attack once you look at and lower the monitor, Foxy will attack no matter what.
* [[Bear Hug]]: This is Freddy's jumpscare whenever the power's out.
* [[Behind the Black]]: Whenever you're looking at your security tablet and put it down, if you weren't being careful you'll find Bonnie, Chica, or Freddy waiting to scream in your face. Somehow you weren't able to see them get in despite the fact that realistically, you'd be able to see them while looking at your tablet as double tasking isn't hard.
* [[Big Bad]]: Freddy Fazbear himself is this, of course. He does nothing for the first couple of nights and isn't all that active on Night 3, but from Night 4 onwards, Freddy cuts the shit and gets serious, and proves to be THE hardest animatronic to deal with. And should the power go out, he's always the one who will confront you, leering at you from the darkness while his damnable music box plays before swooping in for the kill.
Line 73:
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: While Freddy has the same hellishly high-pitched scream as the other animatronics, his laughter as he crosses the Pizzeria is incredibly deep.
** {{spoiler|Meanwhile, Golden Freddy is the opposite: the laughter that plays when you summon him is high pitched, but his scream is so deep that it's a ''roar''}}.
* [[Expy]]: Freddy and friends are pretty much horrific analogues to the original Chuck E. Cheese characters before everything got revamped.
** {{spoiler|Meanwhile, Golden Freddy has been compared to both Winnie the Pooh and Slenderman. The Pooh Bear comparisons come from him being a yellow bear meant to entertain children, while the Slenderman comparisons come from how he causes hallucinations just from being looked at, and his face covers the screen should you die to him}}.
* [[Eyeless Face]]: Bonnie and Freddy can appear this way whenever they stare directly into the camera, and Bonnie has this effect going on in a rare, terrifying game over screen and hallucination. {{spoiler|Golden Freddy however ''is'' truly eyeless... though he has tiny white pinpricks faintly glowing at the centers}}...
