Jump scares in FNAF

A presentation at FNAF in in New York, NY, USA by jonathanhans

Every main fnaf game in the series has jump scares, which cause the player to lose because it seems like the animatronics are coming after them from off-screen. Most jump scares involve an animatronic character that pops up out of nowhere, followed by a scream or roar. Some jump scares, like those by Golden Freddy (in the first game), Nightmare, and Nightmarionne (in the fourth game), consist of a single screen with shrill, distorted audio. These jump scares usually crash (or restart) the game. In each game, the player must use different tools to avoid being attacked by jump scares and move forward.
