The Five Nights at Freddy's franchise has developed a massive and loyal fan base since its initial inception in 2014, and it is clear to see why. Originally garnering fan attention due to the wholly unique nature of its outwardly simplistic gameplay, the franchise has expanded greatly over the years in complexity and narrative.

Perhaps one of the most appealing factors of the current state of Five Nights at Freddy's is the intense amount of detailed and compelling lore that surrounds the many events and characters of the series. Across many mainline games and a litany of spin-off titles, the lore of FNAF runs deep and may be understandably overwhelming for somebody new to the franchise.
