FNaF 6 appears to be a cute business simulator on the surface. You're setting up a small pizza place, placing tables, choosing games for the arcade, and decorating it as you see fit. There's even a segment where you toss pizza to hungry children. It all starts light and playful. But that’s just the bait.

After the bright first impression fades, you're running a night shift alone in the dark with broken animatronics roaming your building. You're trying to finish your office work using an old computer that's noisy enough to attract trouble. You can turn off systems to keep quiet, which means your tasks take longer and must be done to keep the business alive. The game tracks your budget, customer satisfaction, lawsuits, and even health violations. It turns out that running a pizza place is rough, especially when haunted robots want to kill you.

What makes FNaF 6 more interesting than the earlier titles is that it blends management sim with the core survival horror. It gives you more to do than just check cameras and shut doors. Your daytime choices affect how hard your nights get. Want to buy a flashy arcade game to raise your score? It may pose a safety risk. Get too greedy, and you'll pay for it.

Each night becomes a careful balancing act—between your tasks, noise level, temperature, and avoiding animatronics. You’ll use audio lures, motion detectors, and silent ventilation to get through it. But you never know if you’ve made the right choice until it's too late. That tension sticks.

A strange story lies beneath it, scattered throughout cryptic audio, hidden mini-games, and odd cutscenes. If you piece it all together, you'll find the conclusion to a larger story that has been built over the years. But the game doesn't spell it out. It expects you to dig.

How to Play?

Step 1: Open the game and start with the pizzeria phase. Begin by placing items on the floor plan, like tables, games, and animatronics.

Step 2: Use your budget wisely. Each item adds entertainment, atmosphere, or revenue. But some come with “liability risk.” Choose carefully.

Step 3: After setup, go into night shift mode. Your job now is to manage the computer, order supplies, and maintain the building—all while ensuring your safety.

Step 4: Use the audio lure to distract animatronics and keep them away from your office. Continue to check the motion detector to track movement.

Step 5: Toggle the ventilation. Turning it off lowers noise but raises heat. Overheating increases danger, so find a balance.

Step 6: Listen for audio cues. If you hear footsteps or breathing, stop what you're doing and check your surroundings. React fast.

Step 7: Survive until 6 a.m. without getting jumpscared. Then, return to the pizzeria phase and buy upgrades.

Step 8: After a few days, you'll receive "salvage" sections. Choose to keep or throw away animatronics. They increase risk but offer rewards.

Step 9: Your ending depends on how well you run the business and survive.
