What is Five Nights at Freddy's 3?

A first-person, point-and-click survival horror game set in Fazbear's Fright, a horror attraction that revives the legend of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza decades after it closed. Over successive nights, you watch cameras, use audio to draw away the attraction's lone animatronic, and repair failing systems.

For you if...

  • +you like strategic horror focused on a single pursuer
  • +you enjoy finding hidden story details and secrets
  • +you prefer single-player games structured around successive nights

Not for you if...

  • −you want fast-paced action instead of camera surveillance
  • −you dislike jump scares in your horror games

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, sound design, and hidden story details. Many complain that switching between audio lures and system repairs gets repetitive, while unpredictable animatronic movement can make deaths feel unfair.
