Five Nights at Freddy’s 4 moves the setting from the familiar security office to a child’s bedroom. You no longer sit in front of cameras. Instead, you listen for sounds in the dark and react quickly to survive. The game takes place over several nights, each one harder than the last.

Gameplay

You stand in the middle of the bedroom with two hallway doors, a closet, and a bed behind you. The main task is to stop the animatronics from getting too close. They will approach quietly, so hearing them breathe or move is the only warning you get. You use a flashlight to check each area, but shining it at the wrong time can bring danger closer.

Key Actions to Survive

• Close doors when you hear breathing.
• Check the closet for movement.
• Look back at the bed to remove small nightmare creatures.
• Do not overuse the flashlight; listen first.

Extra Notes

The game forces you to rely on sound more than sight. Wearing headphones can make it easier to tell where a sound comes from. Many players fail early because they rush between doors without stopping to listen. There are no official cheats for Five Nights at Freddy’s 4. Some unofficial builds offer night skipping or immunity, but these remove the tension the game is built on.
