Five Nights at Freddy's is the result of throwing Chuck E. Cheese, Night Trap, and the Weeping Angels into a blender. The end result is a bombshell of a horror game that manages to pull off suspense, terror, and multitasking all at the same time. For a while, you could not escape this game.

It also loves using jumpscares as a form of punis-

SCREEEEEEEEEEEE

To do: This gallery has explanations on how the AI works, as well as several bits of unused text.

Unused Text Lots of duplicates, why not.

Debugging Material

"test"

To no one's surprise, "test" is a counter used for debugging. This was used to test the length of Foxy's "locked" state whenever he is viewed on the cameras, which always selects a random value between 50 and 1,050 every ten milliseconds. It should be noted that values that always decrease like these are not calculated in seconds but frames instead (unless it is tied to a timer event). Since Five Nights at Freddy's runs at a constant 60FPS, this would mean that Foxy's locked state can last anywhere from a minimum of 0.83 seconds to a maximum of 17.5 seconds if the cameras are not being watched.

Cheats and Debugging Codes

Key	Effect
C + D + 0 (v1.0)	Skips the player straight to 6AM while in any level.

Miscellaneous

Cut-Off Sounds

Generic Jumpscare Scream

The infamous animatronic scream actually lasts for a full five seconds. It is actually a sound byte from an old audio library released in the 1990's. The sound itself was sampled from the 1981 horror movie Inseminoid (referred to as Horror Planet in the United States release). While the game does use the full sound, it will normally get cut off after the first second. However, pausing the game during a jumpscare by pressing CTRL and P allows you to hear the full sound in-game.

Golden Freddy Jumpscare Scream

Golden Freddy's scream (which is actually a slower, distorted version of the main animatronic scream) lasts for about 16 seconds, but is only played for a single second before the game closes itself. Pressing CTRL and P during this jumpscare allows you to once again hear the full sound.

UI Oddity

The code for opening the monitor is set to make the Power Left and Usage text at the bottom left of the screen reappear, though this doesn't actually do anything as nothing during gameplay hides it (besides the power out cutscene, where you cannot use the monitor). However, running out of power on the same frame as opening the monitor does allow the effects of this code to be seen, albeit in an unintentional manner, as it causes the text to be visible during the aforementioned cutscene. It's possible that this code is a remnant from a time where the power UI was only shown when viewing the monitor, meaning it would've needed to reappear each time you open it, or it might have just been a weird oversight.
