On the first night, the player receives a message claiming to be a current employee, informing him of some horrifying realities not listed in the job ad: six new dolls with facial recognition systems from a database of local criminals, and four old dolls kept in the background for backup and parts stock, will wander around the store at night and act against real humans. The player will take on the role of a new night guard who came to work at 'Freddy Fazbear's Pizza' (Freddy Fazbear's Pizza) in November 1987 and announced his name as Jeremy Fitzgerald in the latter part.
