Cawthon noted that the game is a spin-off, considering the main arc of Five Nights at Freddy's completed with the fourth game. The announcement was considered to be a hoax due to similar PR actions taken by Cawthon, however, it was not disproven until its release. Later, a trailer was uploaded to YouTube, depicting the characters of the four previous games as cute. The Flipside has four layers in total, although going beyond the third level is a point of no return.įNaF World was first announced on September 15, 2015, in a Steam post by Cawthon. There also exists an inner dimension known as the "Flipside", the world's game code, in which there are several glitches that enable travel to otherwise unreachable places. Once new areas are revealed and a special button is pressed in them, the player can use "jumping" to teleport between each area through an overworld map.įNaF World takes place in a world inhabited by enemies and FNAF characters, who live in different biomes, that include a snowy plain, deep forests, graveyard, lake, carnival, and caves. The player is then tasked with exploring the game world and defeating enemy characters in battle. Along the way, a character known as Fredbear will give the player tips on what to do next. As the player continues, they collect more characters to place in their party, with there being 40 characters available in total from across the first four games.

The starter characters, the original and toy versions of the first main games characters, can all be swapped in and out of the party. The player starts by choosing two parties consisting of four characters each. The game also has two difficulty levels to choose from, Normal and Hard. The player has two modes to play in: Adventure and Fixed Party. On February 8, 2016, the game was updated, and re-released as freeware on Game Jolt free of charge. The game was released for Microsoft Windows on January 21, 2016, but came with unfinished gameplay and a large amount of bugs, leading to bad reception and ultimately the decision for the game's takedown from digital storefronts. It is the first official spin-off to the Five Nights at Freddy's series.

FNaF World is an indie role-playing video game created by Scott Cawthon.
