Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location

Enter Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location (FNAF 5) and face terrifying animatronics—use your instincts to survive five dangerous nights underground.

What Is Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location?

Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location is the fifth entry in the iconic FNAF horror franchise, released in 2016. Unlike earlier titles that restricted players to a single security office, this installment takes place in Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rental, an underground facility filled with highly advanced animatronics created by William Afton.

You take on the role of Michael Afton, a maintenance technician assigned to repair the animatronics—though their intentions are far from harmless. Circus Baby, Ballora, Funtime Freddy, and others display unsettling sentience. Their manipulation pushes the story into psychological horror, eventually revealing the creation of Ennard, a horrifying amalgamation desperate to escape the facility.

A New Kind of Challenge

Gameplay in Sister Location departs from the traditional FNAF formula. Rather than staying in one room, you must move through multiple areas, each introducing new mechanics, threats, and objectives.

Every night brings its own set of challenges, such as:

• Repairing malfunctioning animatronics
• Navigating dark and dangerous maintenance tunnels
• Listening carefully to instructions—sometimes from machines, sometimes from something far more sinister
• Balancing stealth, timing, and quick decision-making

This unpredictable structure heightens the tension, making each night feel like a fresh test of survival and mental resilience.

Controls

• WASD or Arrow Keys: Move between rooms or crawl through tunnels
• Mouse: Interact with panels, switches, and animatronic systems
• Spacebar: Use specific tools or confirm actions
• Headphones recommended: Many threats are identified through audio cues

Survival Guidance

• Listen carefully. Audio cues help you detect movement and anticipate attacks.
• Follow instructions—strategically. Some tasks require obedience, while others demand you act against the guidance to stay alive.
• Stay calm under pressure. Many mechanics rely on steady, controlled timing.
• Learn each animatronic's behavior. Ballora senses movement, Baby manipulates trust, and Funtime Foxy reacts to noise and light.
• Work efficiently. Completing maintenance tasks quickly reduces the chances of encountering danger.
• Replay Custom Night for deeper lore. It unlocks secret cutscenes that expand on the Afton family's story.
