You know those singing, dancing robots at children's entertainment restaurants like Chuck E. Cheese's? The ones whose eyes are unblinking, bottomless pools of rancid death? Yeah, Five Nights at Freddy's is a game about watching them. At night. Greaaaaat.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna continue never going to places with dancing animatronic animals ever, ever again.
