TERMINAL Nights at Freddy's

TERMINAL Nights at Freddy's

TNaF is a fan-made parody horror game inspired by Five Nights at Freddy’s 1, but fully played inside a terminal. In this version, everything happens in a text-based interface, creating a unique feeling of tension and a retro-style atmosphere.

You play as a night security guard who must survive from 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM in the security office. Your task is to watch the animatronics through the cameras, control the doors and lights in time, and prevent them from entering the room.

Every action in the game consumes limited power. If the power runs out, defense becomes almost impossible. If an animatronic reaches your door and it is open, the game is over.

This is an unofficial fan project created as a parody/inspiration of the original FNaF series.
