Five Nights at Epstein’s (FNAE) is a viral fan-made horror game inspired by the point-and-click survival mechanics popularized by the legendary Five Nights at Freddy’s. While it borrows the familiar formula of monitoring cameras and managing limited power, FNAE pushes the concept into a more unsettling and psychologically intense setting.
Set inside a mysterious mansion on a secluded island, the game places players in the role of a night guard hired to monitor a group of highly suspicious “guests.” As the nights progress, the atmosphere becomes increasingly oppressive, blending tension, strategy, and jump-scare horror into a high-stakes survival challenge.

Story & Setting

Unlike the family-friendly (but creepy) pizza restaurant setting of its inspiration, FNAE takes place in a shadowy mansion filled with dark corridors, locked rooms, and disturbing secrets. The isolation of the island setting heightens the sense of vulnerability — there’s no help coming, and escape is not an option.

Each night grows more dangerous as entities become more aggressive and unpredictable. The unsettling sound design and dimly lit environments create a constant feeling of dread.
