The game takes place in the same universe as FNaF, and you play as a security guard at Ned’s Waffle House.
As you start your first night at the Waffle House, you quickly start to realize that this restaurant is not what it seems. Shortly after your first shift begins, the main robot mascot of the Waffle House, Waffles, starts wandering around the building trying to hunt you down and kill you.
Eventually you survive your shift but you have to keep going back for Five Nights so that you can get your paycheck to pay your medical bills.
Each night, a new animatronic is introduced with different routes and/or mechanics to always keep you on your toes!
