NOTE: Remastered version from the PC version. A device with at least 2 GB of RAM is required for this game to run properly. Welcome to your new summer job at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, where kids and parents alike come for entertainment and food as far as the eye can see! The main attraction is Freddy Fazbear, of course; and his two friends. They are animatronic robots, programmed to please the crowds! The robots' behavior has become somewhat unpredictable at night however, and it was much cheaper to hire you as a security guard than to find a repairman. From your small office you must watch the security cameras carefully. You have a very limited amount of electricity that you're allowed to use per night (corporate budget cuts, you know). That means when you run out of power for the night- no more security doors and no more lights! If something isn't right- namely if Freddybear or his friends aren't in their proper places, you must find them on the monitors and protect yourself if needed! Can you survive five nights at Freddy's? NOTE: Interface and audio in English. Subtitles in English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish (Latin America), Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Korean. #MadeWithFusion

This app is designed to be used with the Scream Game from Funko Games. This cooperative board game is played in real time. It's a fun, tense and fast-paced experience! Work together to play cards as fast as you can. Rush to draw and trade for the cards you need to complete your scene. If you complete all the scenes before time runs out, and before any player is killed, you all win! If not, Ghost Face gets you and you all lose! Ghost Face (voiced by Roger L. Jackson) will call you using this app to taunt, threaten, or stalk players during the game as described in the instructions and how to play video. Make sure to keep working together and prevent players from becoming Ghost Face's next victim! Need more of a challenge? Select Hard Mode in the Settings and Ghost Face calls more often and you have less time to win. The game defaults to Moderate language, but you may choose Strong language for more graphic and intense narration from Ghost Face.
