No more camera systems or security offices, FNAF 4 puts you in the perspective of a lone child in the middle of a dark room, where only breathing, footsteps, and dense darkness make you uneasy.
Taking place entirely in the bedroom, FNAF 4 puts you in the role of a boy who has to fight against Nightmare versions of familiar animatronics. The small room becomes a dangerous maze, with two dark hallways, a wardrobe in front, and a bed behind.
Traps players in a child's bedroom
You need to survive until 6 am. There are no modern tools, no monitoring screens, only your intuition and sharp ears to distinguish between harmless noises and signs of approaching threats.
The survival mechanism in FNAF 4 relies mainly on your ability to listen. If you hear breathing right in front of the door, absolutely do not turn on the light, because that is the signal that the animatronic is nearby; instead, close the door tightly until the sound disappears.
You need to check the wardrobe regularly to prevent Nightmare Foxy from taking over, and the bed must be constantly lit to prevent Freddles from accumulating. Just a moment of carelessness, a wrong move, and you'll get a jumpscare immediately. Transform into an elite warrior and enter dramatic battles in Masked Special Forces - get ready to play and show off your skills now!
The control system in FNAF 4 is minimalist but requires absolute precision: WASD to move between positions, mouse to rotate the view, and Ctrl to turn on the flashlight. Holding down the left mouse button helps close the door when danger is near, and Space allows you to turn back to check the bed quickly.
Enemies like Nightmare Bonnie and Nightmare Chica ambush from two hallways, Nightmare Foxy hides in the wardrobe, while Freddles gradually accumulate to summon Nightmare Freddy. Later on, the appearance of Nightmare Fredbear makes all the rules more severe, forcing you to react quickly and keep absolutely calm.
