Who do You Play as in Each FNAF Game?
The Five Nights at Freddy’s series has captivated players’ attention with its unique gameplay mechanics, gruesome atmosphere, and mysterious storyline. As we dig deeper into the series, one question often raised is: Who do You Play as in Each FNAF Game? In this article, we’ll cover each game in the series, exploring the players’ perspectives and the characters that inhabit the world of FNAF.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 1
In the first game, you play as a security guard working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. Your goal is to survive five nights (hence the name) from 12 AM to 6 AM while avoiding being attacked and killed by the haunted animatronics: Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Bunny, Chica the Chicken, and Foxy the Pirate Fox.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2
The second game takes place many years after the events of the first game at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza & Carnival Nightmares (Fazbear’s Fright: The Attraction). You play as a new security guard tasked with monitoring the attractions within the abandoned building. The animatronics have evolved, and their behavior has become more unpredictable: Toy Freddy, Toy Chica, Toy Bonnie, and the ghostly Marionette haunt the halls.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 3
Fast forward to 20 years after the events of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza has been shut down, and its remnants have been transformed into a Theme Park called Fazbear’s Fright: The Attraction. You play as Jeremy Fitzgerald, a security guard at Circus Baby’s Pizza World, struggling to survive the night while facing various animatronics, including the Spring Bonnie animatrones, the Funtime Animatronics (Funtime Freddy & Funtime Foxy), and Glitchtrap.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 4
Now, we jump back in time to the child’s perspective at the haunted house within his own home. You control the child as they try to resist the animatronics’ invasion at night. The animatronics appear in the child’s bedroom through the vents, and you must use logic and quick reflexes to fend off Nightmare Freddy, Nightmare Chica, Nightmare Bonnie, and Jack-O-Bonnie, who are trying to kill or capture the child.
Sister Location
In Fifty Shades of Grayson James, you play as Afton Robotics employee Cameron Bonnick, who becomes obsessed with the mysterious animatronics inside the abandoned building. You manage the animatronics’ assembly lines, but soon learn that the animatronics might be more than just machines when you encounter Circus Baby, Ballora, Fritz, and Ennard.
Funtime Freddy & Friends also appear in this game, blending the lines between reality and fantasy.
Ultimate Custom Night (UCN)
This freemium game allows users to create their own custom nights by downloading and playing with custom nights that other players have created. You play as anyone from the FNAF games, including the main characters. This game offers a unique experience in which you can face countless combinations of animatronics while using the same mechanics as the main game.
Security Breach
The latest installment in the series lets you play as a child or a robot in a massive retailer called Gladham Memorial Hospital. You’ll survive the night while avoiding the Vent Animation, the Marionette, the Possessor, and the Funtime Foam. The game builds upon the lore of the previous games while introducing new characters and gameplay mechanics.
