Five Nights at Freddy's (Windows)

Five Nights at Freddy's is the result of throwing Chuck E. Cheese, Night Trap, and the Weeping Angels into a blender. The end result is a bombshell of a horror game that manages to pull off suspense, terror, and multitasking all at the same time. For a while, you could not escape this game.

It also loves using jumpscares as a form of punis-

Cut-Off Sounds#

Generic Jumpscare Scream#

The infamous animatronic scream actually lasts for a full five seconds. It is actually a sound byte from an old audio library released in the 1990's, the file itself being titled "XSCREAM.wav." The sound itself was sampled from the 1981 horror movie Inseminoid (referred to as Horror Planet in the United States release). While the game does use the full sound, it will normally get cut off after the first second. However, pausing the game during a jumpscare by pressing CTRL and P allows you to hear the full sound in-game.

Golden Freddy Jumpscare Scream#

Golden Freddy's scream (which is actually a slower version of the main animatronic scream) lasts for about 16 seconds, but is only played for a single second before the game closes itself. Pressing CTRL and P during this jumpscare allows you to once again hear the full sound.

Oddities#

Loading Screen Duplicate Code#

Not counting additional time due to the next frame loading its assets, the loading screen takes exactly 0.1 seconds to jump to main gameplay. Despite this, code exists beneath it calling for the loading screen to take a single second to load the frame. It is currently unknown why this line of code exists or why it wasn't removed, as the 0.1 seconds event launches first.

Power Left UI#

The code for opening the monitor is set to make the Power Left and Usage text at the bottom left of the screen reappear, though this doesn't actually do anything as nothing during gameplay hides it (besides the power out cutscene, where you cannot use the monitor). However, running out of power on the same frame as opening the monitor does allow the effects of this code to be seen, albeit in an unintentional manner, as it causes the text to be visible during the aforementioned cutscene. It's possible that this code is a remnant from a time where the power UI was only shown when viewing the monitor, which is further evidenced by an unused "per second" indicator using code that calls for it to appear when using the monitor.
