Freddy Fazbear has actually jumped off the screen this time, much to the chagrin of anyone who’s ever been knocked out of her computer with fright. At a live event in Cardiff, Wales, fans of Five Nights at Freddy’s and just generally masochists of all kinds subjected themselves to the live torture of enduring a FNAF game-like experience.
“Players” seated themselves at a desk modeled after the security station from the first game while “animatronic” versions of Freddy Fazbear and the rest of the gang cavorted around, waiting for an opportunity to leap out and terrify the, well, suspecting audience member. The process, all told, lasted about 10 minutes for each person.
It took plenty of volunteers and impassioned devotees to bring this project to fruition, and the people at Nightmares from the Discotheque can be thanked for the surprisingly amazing set-up featured in the video posted below.
The video, which features uber-FNAF-streamer Dawko, goes into depth about how the set-up was erected and just how it worked. There’s no word from Cawthon himself, but judging by the video, the event was a complete success. Unfortunately for you US-based fans of the series, FNAF live is currently limited to the UK, but Nightmares from the Discotheque plans on bringing them to other areas, popularity-pending.
If you’re feeling the absence of your favorite animatronic demon-beasts, rest easy: Five Nights at Freddy’s World, a Freddy’s-themed RPG, is set to be released sometime in the near future.
