2
React Quickly
When Epstein appears at the window, you have only 0.5 seconds to react!
3

Advanced Game Mechanics
Camera System
Similar to FNAF 3, you use cameras to monitor different locations. Cameras can break randomly and need to be fixed. Use the camera system to track enemy movements and plan your strategy.
Audio Lure System
Use camera audio to lure enemies away from you. Play audio from cameras near enemy locations. CRITICAL: The audio lure does NOT work twice in a row in the same room—you must alternate between cameras (e.g. Cam 7 and Cam 8) to push enemies back. Overusing lures can also cause cameras to break; when they break, go to the control panel and restart them. Audio lures don't affect Stephen Hawking. Pro tip: Keep enemies in the back hallway "hook" (cam 9, 10, 11) for easier management.
Vent Management
Trump attacks through vents in camera 1 or 2. When you hear banging, close the vents immediately. Wait until you hear banging again (meaning he left) before opening the vents—opening too early can get you killed. If you leave them closed too long, you die from lack of oxygen.
Multi-Tasking
You must manage multiple enemies simultaneously. Monitor Epstein's location, lure FC away, manage Trump's vent attacks, and electrocute Stephen Hawking regularly. Quick thinking and fast reactions are essential.
Camera Maintenance
Cameras can break if you overuse audio lures. When cameras break, you'll see a "Camera Error" message. You must restart the cameras at the control panel before you can use electrocution again—you cannot electrocute Stephen Hawking while cameras are out. Restart immediately or you'll be blind to enemy movements!
Night Progression System
Each night lasts from 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM (each hour is 30 seconds real time). The game has 7 nights total: main Nights 1–5, then Night 6 and Night 7 unlock after beating Night 5. More enemies appear as you advance; Nights 4 and 5 are the hardest.
1
Night 1 - Introduction
Epstein and FC appear. Focus on learning the camera system and audio lure mechanics (alternate Cam 7 and 8).
2
Night 2 - Vent Attacks Begin
Trump joins, starting at Camera 9 and attacking through vents in Camera 1 or 2. Listen for banging; wait until he leaves before reopening vents.
3
Night 3 - Electrocution Required
Stephen Hawking appears at Camera 6. Electrocute him regularly (warning goes yellow then red). You cannot electrocute while cameras are out—restart them first.
4-5
Nights 4-5 - Maximum Difficulty
All enemies active; these are the two hardest main nights. Near 5:00 AM prioritize Stephen Hawking, then keep Epstein as far back as possible (hook strategy).
6
Night 6 - Special Night with Epstein
Unlocked after Night 5. Only Epstein (appears bright yellow). No Trump or Stephen Hawking. Ending audio is decodable for the secret ending.
7
Night 7 - Final Story Night
All four enemies return at high difficulty. Same strategies as 4–5; after beating it, Custom Knight (Ultimate = 20/20/20/20) unlocks the third star and secret ending.
Camera System Deep Dive
The camera system is your primary tool for monitoring enemy locations. Understanding camera layout and audio lure mechanics is crucial for survival.
Camera Locations
Key cameras and how to use them:
- Camera 1-2: Vent entrances where Trump attacks
- Camera 6: Stephen Hawking's permanent location—electrocute him here
- Camera 7-8: Alternate audio lures between these (same room twice doesn't work); push enemies back toward the hook
- Camera 9, 10, 11 — "The hook": Back hallway. Keep enemies here as long as possible. Cam 10 is the furthest safe spot. Epstein and FC start at 11; Trump starts at 9 (Night 2+)
Audio Lure Mechanics
Audio lures must be played from cameras near enemy locations to be effective. Important rules:
- Audio lure does NOT work twice in a row in the same room—alternate between Cam 7 and Cam 8 (or other pairs) to push enemies back
- Overusing audio lures can cause cameras to break—go to control panel immediately when you see "Camera Error"
- You cannot electrocute Stephen Hawking while cameras are out—restart cameras first
- Audio lures don't affect Stephen Hawking (he's immune)
- Keep enemies in the back hallway "hook" (cam 9, 10, 11) for easier management
Camera Maintenance & Electrocution
When cameras break, go to the control panel to restart them immediately. You cannot electrocute Stephen Hawking while cameras are out. For Stephen Hawking: the warning goes yellow then red—electrocute before it turns red. Don't spam electrocution (it can force enemies to move). In a crisis, prioritize Stephen Hawking first, then Epstein.
Being without cameras means you're blind to enemy movements, which is extremely dangerous!
Custom Knight Mode
After beating the main nights, unlock Custom Knight to set each character's level. Set all to level 20 for Ultimate Night—beat it to unlock the secret ending and earn your third gold star!
Pro Tip: Night 6's ending audio is decodable and may help you achieve the secret ending!
Characters & Enemies
Quick enemy reference below—cameras, vents, and controls are in How to Play.
Epstein
Description
The main antagonist who appears at the window. You must react within 0.5 seconds when he appears.
Behavior
Always starts at camera 11. Moves extremely quickly between camera locations - can move from cam 11 to cam 3 in just 1 second! Can be lured away using audio from cameras, but is very difficult to see on screen.
Strategy
Keep him in the back rooms (cam 8 or cam 11) using audio lures. The audio lure must be played from a camera near where Epstein is located. Press E immediately when he appears at the window - you only have 0.5 seconds!
FC
Description
A character that always starts at camera 11 and can be lured using camera audio.
Behavior
Begins at cam 11. Responds to audio lures from nearby cameras.
Strategy
Use camera audio to lure FC away from you. Make sure the camera playing sound is near where FC is located.
Trump
Description
Attacks through vents in camera 1 or 2. You'll hear banging when he's in the vents.
Behavior
Starts at camera 9, then enters vents in cam 1 or 2. Makes banging sounds when in vents. Can be lured with audio but prioritize Epstein.
Strategy
Listen for banging sounds. Close vents immediately when you hear banging. Open them after a few seconds when banging stops, or you'll die from lack of oxygen.
Stephen Hawking
Description
Always stays at camera 6 and is not affected by audio lures. Requires periodic electrocution.
Behavior
Permanently located at cam 6. Immune to audio lures. Will leave cam 6 if not electrocuted regularly.
Strategy
Electrocute Stephen Hawking on cam 6 periodically to prevent him from leaving. This is essential for survival.
