If you haven't come across Five nights at Freddy's before, the premise is simple enough. You have landed a summer job as a night watchman at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

However, the job is not quite as straightforward as you hoped. The main reason you got hired was that the crowd-pleasing animatronic robots go rogue at night. Since you are a lot cheaper to hire than a repairman, you get to herd the faulty robots at night when their behavior is unpredictable.

From your tiny office filled with security camera screens, your task is to keep order and round up the robots whenever they go astray. But, and there's always a but, you only have very limited reserves of electricity you can use each night. So if you don't use your electricity wisely, you will run out of power. And that means no lights or functioning security doors.

So your sweet night security gig isn't the easy number you expected as you are spending your time rounding up robots and getting them back to their proper positions, ready for the next day.

Will you manage five nights of robotic mayhem? Or are you going to quit and look for another job?

How to use

Five Nights at Freddy's is downloadable from Google Play and Apple's App Store.

Android users need to have 107 MB of storage space to accommodate the game and be running a minimum of Android 5.0.

Google Play reviewers have awarded the game an impressive 4.7 out of five stars, off the back of nearly 130,000 reviews. It's worth taking a look at the glowing reviews if you are at all skeptical about the merits of this game. You will be hard-pressed to find many reviewers with a bad word for it.

So hats off to developers Scott Cawthon and Clickteam for producing such a compelling game and transitioning it so successfully to mobile devices.

It's pretty much the same script over at the App Store, where reviewers have given Five Nights at Freddy's a highly respectable 4.6 out of five.

Interestingly, the iOS version requires less space, not more, than its Android counterpart. FNaF is a lightweight 68.1 MB, which is almost nothing for an iOS game or app. And iOS users will get away with iOS 8.0 as a minimum to run the game.
