## Five Nights at Freddy's Plus

### Genre

Survival Horror

**Five Nights at Freddy's Plus** was an upcoming survival horror game developed by Phisnom. It was to be an unofficial re-imagined version of the original *Five Nights at Freddy's*.

## Description

As of **August 5th, 2023**, Five Nights at Freddy's Plus has been removed from the Steam store following the termination of Phisnom's contract, deeming FNaF Plus as cancelled.

The official Steam page for Five Nights at Freddy's Plus described the game as such:

**"Five Nights at Freddy's Plus" is a fan-made remake/reimagining of "Five Nights at Freddy's" by Scott Cawthon, officially licensed and published under the "Fazbear Fanverse Initiative".**

A brand new take on **“Five Nights at Freddy’s”**, *plus* some more! Featuring completely remade visuals, new character designs, remixed survival mechanics, new camera animations, expanded secrets and rare events, loads of bonus post-game content and a new interpretation of the original story. A game built to surprise and scare both newcomers and veterans of the FNAF series alike!

## Gameplay/Features

Five Nights at Freddy's Plus described itself as a "reimagined experience that's sure to surprise both newcomers and veterans of the FNAF series." It includes five standard campaign nights, an additional sixth night, and a custom night, just as the original FNAF did. Though it is also stated that it has "many more post-game bonuses to complete. It is also slated to come with a "Plus Mode", a form of 'New Game Plus' featured in many modern games.

In terms of gameplay changes, it has been confirmed that some of the in-game cameras will need to be rotated manually, presumably to view animatronics that are out of the player's immediate view. There are also screenshots of cameras being replaced by a hazard symbol (⚠️), possibly to indicate that a camera is no longer able to be switched to. The office also replaces the standard door buttons with levers that may need to be pulled down by clicking and dragging down.

## Characters

* Freddy Fazbear
* Bonnie
* Chica
* Foxy
* The Puppet

## Development

The development of the FNaF 1 remake can be traced back to a fan-game Phisnom had made before this, *Five Nights at Freddy's 2: Open Source* (also known as *Another FNaF Fangame: Open Source*), which was made on June 2nd 2020. The game is a reimagined version of *FNaF 2*, and it also allows others to modify the game and change its look to however they want. However, this breaks the rule as it can be modified to a free version of FNaF 2. The game was taken down by Scott Cawthon eventually, and will not be re-released anymore. But on a plus side, this had opened the possibility for an official remake of FNaF, which led to this project.

"FNAF games, especially the ones in the "Core Collection", are still being sold and rereleased to this day. These are the backbone of the entire franchise, so having a free alternative product available for people to choose over the original would devalue the games made by Scott.
Other Fazbear Fanverse games are free because they are meant to be their own series, with different characters, stories, mechanics and ideas. FNAF Plus by comparison is too close to the original source material, so as a remake/reimagining it cannot be granted that same freedom."

On August 22nd 2020, The Fazbear Fanverse was revealed by Scott, and announced the making of FNaF Plus, along with other games. On August 28th, an official FNaF Plus Twitter account was made, with a new teaser image to be shown. And on September 12th, a YouTube channel was made for FNaF Plus, with a teaser video marking the completion of all character models. On November 19th, Phisnom stated that the game is almost reaching the next milestone, completing all 3D assets. He also clarified that, due to legal reasons, the game will be sold on all platforms and, unlike other titles in The Fazbear Fanverse, will not have a free download version on Game Jolt.

On January 19th, a series of teaser videos with the found-footage style were posted. There are four tapes available, with one of them unlisted, and can only be found by finding clues in the first three tapes. The hidden video was found several hours later. The fifth and sixth tape was followed up on August 8th.

On August 12th 2022, a "Steam Wishlist Trailer" for FNaF Plus was posted, along with a Steam page for the game. This Steam page came with several new in-game screenshots, showcasing the different cameras, UIs, and reinterpretations of past promotional materials.

On December 28th, ending on the 29th, Phisnom began a series of Security Breach live streams attempting to raise money for the Trevor Project. Having surpassed his stretch goal of $20,000, he revealed a series of posters from the game. This provided us with a closer look at an undamaged Foxy, Helpy, among other things.

## Trivia

* This is the only title in The Fazbear Fanverse that isn't a new installment of an existing FNaF fan-game series.
	+ Due to the said reason, it is also the only title that doesn't have any other titles in the same series featured in a bundle.
		- An exception is The Joy of Creation: Ignited Collection. However, the said game itself is a collection of remakes of previous titles in the series.
* This title alongside The Joy of Creation: Ignited Collection are the only titles in The Fazbear Fanverse that have no free download version on Game Jolt.
