Players take the role of a security guard at Freddy Fazbear&#8217;s Pizza, a pizza restaurant franchise known for its family-friendly activities and singing animatronic band. However, at night, the animatronics become aggressive and wander the pizzeria on their own, leaving the player to complete their six-hour shift without being attacked by them.
