<P> The game involves a character, whose name is later revealed to be Mike Schmidt, who has started a job working as a night watch security guard at the restaurant Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, where the animatronics move at night and will kill anyone they see by stuffing them in a spare animatronic suit . Apparently, this is due to their misinterpretation of the player character as a metal endoskeleton without their costume on . Animatronic movement is explained to the player as a purposely programmed "free - roaming" mode, as to prevent animatronic servomotors from locking up . The player must survive from midnight to 6 AM . </P> <P> The player is not able to leave the room, and must use a camera system and two doors with lights in order to defend themselves from the animatronics . The hostility of the animatronics appear to be the result of possession by the vengeful souls of children who were killed on the restaurant's site . The player is guided by an unknown entity known as "Phone Guy", who assists them in their defense from the animatronics . Mike is fired from his job after the seventh night, due to tampering with the animatronics, odor and general unprofessionalism . </P> <P> Five Nights at Freddy's was first released for Microsoft Windows on August 8, 2014, followed by ports for Android and iOS on August 27, 2014 and September 11, 2014, respectively . A version for the Windows Phone was also released, but was taken down soon after due to the down - scaled graphics of the port . </P> <P> Shortly after the release of the first game, developer Cawthon began to confirm rumors of a sequel . Just one month after the original game's release, Cawthon posted a teaser of the sequel on his webpage, and continued to post teasers until the game's release . A teaser trailer was released on October 21, 2015, introducing various new animatronic characters and the absence of doors . Five Nights at Freddy's 2 was first released for Microsoft Windows on November 10, 2014, earlier of its planned release of December 25, 2014 . Ports for Android and iOS were released on November 13 and 20 of the same year . A Windows Phone port was also released, but was taken down for the same reasons as the first game . </P>
