About
A Shadow Over Freddy's is a short point & click exploration horror game created to showcase unique free-roam gameplay while keeping the spirit of Five Nights at Freddy's intact. Playing as an individual trapped inside an abandoned Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, you must traverse the location while avoiding the creeping darkness that infests every corner of the building. Complete different objectives each night, uncover your lost memories and find a way out of the accursed restaurant. Relive the horror of the first FNaF game, as you explore every nook and cranny of the dilapidated remains of the original location, but with a new twist on the formula that will scare even the veterans of the series. With no doors, no cameras, or time on your side, will you survive one last time against the shadows of your past?
