Verified against v2.0.2
Current version is 2.0.2, the hotfix for the Four Layers Down expansion. The game is free on Game Jolt, runs on Windows, has five endings, four playable guards and 87 threats in the 2.0 roster. You do not need to play the first two games.
It is a free fan-made survival horror game by SpookyRick, built in GameMaker Studio. You work the night shift in a haunted pizzeria, defend an office with doors, a mask and a flashlight, then salvage animatronics between nights to earn tokens and upgrades. The 2.0 expansion, Four Layers Down, adds a second mode and roughly doubles the roster.
Yes. The only official build is the Game Jolt page for Five Nights at Frickbear's 3 + Four Layers Down, which hosts both the current 2.0 build and an archived 1.1.4 base game. This site does not mirror the game files; it links to that page and explains the install.
No. The developer states that the third game and its story are completely self-contained, so you can start here. Playing the earlier games only changes how many of the references you recognise.
Version 2.0.2, a hotfix for the Four Layers Down 2.0 expansion. The patch fixes a crash caused by remapping controls and a bug where keyboard-controlled minigames swallowed mouse input.
The base game shipped with more than 40, and Four Layers Down adds about 40 more for a total of 87 threats. Our character index documents the entries whose mechanics we have verified against 2.0.2 and grows as the expansion is tested.
Five: Slacker, Money, Evil, Good and Ultimate. Slacker is the default. The other four depend on route items such as the mask set, Vanny's salvage list and Talbert's Files.
The base campaign runs six nights, with Night 6 carrying the route's finale and, on the Ultimate route, a true final encounter afterwards. A first playthrough usually takes several sessions because each ending shares most of the same nights.
Jeremy Fitzgerald. He is the Easy guard: slower animatronics, cheaper upgrades and one salvage per location. Mike runs two per salvage, Vanessa three, and Fritz four at maximum aggression.
No. The official release is a downloadable GameMaker build for Windows, with the store page also listing support for another desktop platform. There is no official browser version and we do not link to unofficial ports.
Yes, and the scene is active. Mods include custom guards, custom night challenges and save files; most are published on GameBanana. Install one package at a time and back up your save folder first.
The Game Jolt listing carries content descriptors for cartoon violence, mild bloodshed, strong language, alcohol and tobacco references. It is a comedy-horror fangame rather than a realistic horror title, but it is not aimed at young children.
No. Frickbears3.org is an independent fan reference. It is not affiliated with SpookyRick, Game Jolt or Scott Cawthon, and all game assets remain the property of their creators.
The two pages that resolve most remaining questions are the install guide and the threat index. If something here is wrong, the about page explains how to report it.
