In the game, you take on the role of a new pizzeria owner who must manage their restaurant during the day while dealing with creepy, haunted animatronics at night. The gameplay is split into two distinct phases. By day, you handle the operations of the pizzeria, designing the layout, upgrading equipment, and crafting the perfect menu to attract customers.
You earn money by running the restaurant effectively, using your profits to improve and expand. However, this seemingly mundane business simulation hides a dark secret, and as the night falls, the game takes a chilling turn. At night, you must survive against terrifying animatronics that roam the pizzeria.
The game switches to a survival mode where you must manage limited resources and protect yourself from these dangerous, malfunctioning creatures. You can use various security systems and tools to keep them at bay, but you must be careful with your energy and actions. If you fail to manage your resources properly or make the wrong moves, the animatronics will catch you.
As the story progresses, you uncover disturbing details about the pizzeria's past and the horrific events that occurred within. Every choice you make – whether it's about the pizzeria's setup, how you handle animatronics, or how you spend your money affects the outcome of the game, leading to multiple possible endings.
