Massive WIP, but I thought I'd share.
My daughter is massively into FNaF, so I hear a lot about it, and thought a demake would be a good learning experience.

Directional buttons control the doors/lights and show how much power you're using.
Clock in the upper-right counts to 12 PM (which is technically wrong, but good enough for testing)
At 12, a "night over" message appears.

That's all it does for now.
Next will be adding the power supply/usage mechanic.
Then cameras, then I'll populate the pizzeria!
My goal is to come as close to 1:1 with the first game as Pico-8 will allow.

Any input is welcome and encouraged.

There was one other person working on this, @pirsquar.

Personally I would love to see a completed version for Pico-8 - including all of the opening dialogue.

And yes this is all my niece talks about. This crazy game, Five Nights At Freddy's. :)

For those unfamiliar, the basic game premise is you are a security guard at a pizza parlor at night. You are at a station that allows you to use cameras to see all the rooms.

The animatronic robots that normally entertain children have come to life and seek out the security guard, to "correct" the mistake that he's not in his costume.

At his station the security guard can close doors which use electricity and turn on lights which also use electricity. The object of the game is to survive the night without letting the animatronic enemies catch him or run out of electricity leaving him vulnerable to capture.

It uses jump-scare tactics to show you have lost the game.

The opening text you hear played from a telephone answering machine when you start the game is:

"Hello, hello ? Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night. Um, I actually worked in that office before you. I'm finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact.

So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about. Uh, you'll do fine. So, let's just focus on getting you through your first week. Okay ?

Uh, let's see, first there's an introductory greeting from the company that I'm supposed to read. Uh, it's kind of a legal thing, you know.

Um, "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. A magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person.

Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced."

Blah blah blah, now that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about. Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them ? No.

If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath ? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too.

So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right ? Okay.

So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night. Uh... Something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long.

Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too. But then there was The Bite of '87. Yeah. I-It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know ?

Uh, now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person.

They'll pr- they'll most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to...

Forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Um, now, that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area.

So, you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort...and death.

Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh.

Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up. But hey, first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary.

Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night."

with the current resources of pico-8 it would be possible to continue the project :)

Dark is such an interesting game play element and underutilized. I was loosely inspired by Five Nights at Freddie's for Santa Scouts.
