The Five Nights at Freddy's Franchise

Since the first game in 2014, the Five Nights at Freddy's (FNaF) series has become one of the most popular and influential franchises in gaming. In it, you play different people and must try and survive with limited resources while robotic animal mascots try and get you. While the play is different between each game, they all rely on jump scares by the animatronics to keep you on edge and have a bizarre sense of humour.

Becoming initially popular on YouTube for the simple survival gameplay and jump scares, it quickly became a cult phenomenon renowned for having an intriguing story underlying and connecting every game, with huge groups of fans dedicated to finding every detail and clue. The franchise now also spawns several book series, graphic novels, and a film series.
