Five Nights with Nextbots
A night guard's job is rarely easy, and this one is no exception. You're stationed in a dimly lit office connected to a network of security cameras. Strange, corrupted entities known as Nextbots have infiltrated the building, and your only defenses are the doors and lights, which draw from a limited power supply. Each night, these digital anomalies grow more aggressive, forcing you to balance vigilance with conservation. The experience is a test of nerve and strategy. With every camera switch, door closure, and light toggle draining precious energy, you must decide when to monitor and when to act. One wrong guess could leave you vulnerable. Survive from midnight to six AM for five nights, and you'll earn your paycheck—if you can keep your cool.

What is Five Nights with Nextbots
Take on a lonely night shift in an office stalked by corrupted nextbots. Use cameras and doors to survive until sunrise, but watch your power meter.
How to Play
Use the camera system to track Nextbot movements and the door controls to block their path when they get close. Keep an eye on your power reserve and prioritize actions to last until 6 AM.
Tips for Playing
- Conserve power by avoiding unnecessary camera usage during quiet moments.
- Wait until a Nextbot is right at the door before closing it to minimize energy waste.
- Use the lights to check hallway presence without fully committing to a door closure.
- Keep your camera feed on one location for too long can blind you to threats elsewhere—scan periodically.
- Memorize the audio cues; every Nextbot has a distinct sound that can warn you of its approach.
