Five Nights at Freddy's is an indie horror game series that took the world by storm. Its concepts, lore, and gameplay have inspired many games like it. Although, this horror game is just one of many, and it may not be as hard as you think to overcome the jolt of fear that comes when being hunted by animatronic monsters.

Steps

Using the Game

Go to YouTube. Look up Let's Plays of the games, or some jumpscare animations. With repetition come familiarity.

Play the games. By playing the games, you can experience the fears and thrills yourself. After watching enough videos about any of the games, playing should be relatively easier. Try looking for YouTubers who lay out a strategy that can be followed.

Become familiar with the jumpscares. If you didn't get enough jumpscares, you have the option to keep watching videos or go to the custom night menu.

Using the Fandom

Try dabbling into the FNAF fandom a bit. This may not be very high on your list of priorities, but if you can find out why so many people like it, it may be easier for you.

Focus on the lore of the games. The FNAF series has a very complicated and sometimes incomprehensible backstory. Deciphering the mystery has become a mission of sorts to many people online, and it has yet to be debunked. There are several FNAF YouTubers such as Smike and 8-Bit Gaming who produce FNAF videos on a regular basis that you can watch. Game Theory also has done a few videos on the series.

Watch the How to Make Five Nights at Freddy's Not Scary videos. The videos are produced specifically to poke fun at FNAF, and make them seem not so sinister.
