Five Nights at Freddy’s can be considered a cultural phenomenon. Since its debut in late-2014, the franchise has received thirteen games, several series of novels, and graphic novels in addition to a legion of fan-made games.
It’s also home to lore the likes of which you almost never see in indie games, let alone other, triple-A releases. But, with the laundry list of titles in the franchise, it can be confusing for new players where they should start, and in what order. Fortunately, we have you covered.
