What kind of game is it?
Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic is a single-player, first-person horror adventure developed by Steel Wool Studios and published by ScottGames. It was released on June 13, 2025.
The game sends you into the abandoned workshop beneath Murray's Costume Manor. Your assignment begins as a search for Fazbear prototype technology, but the building is filled with locked routes, damaged machinery, fragmented records, and the Mimic: an adaptable endoskeleton that can use different costumes to change how it hunts you.
What do you do in the game?
- Explore interconnected showrooms, workshops, offices, hospital spaces, warehouses, and tunnels.
- Use tools such as the Data Diver to restore systems and open restricted routes.
- Solve keypad, power, machinery, crane, minigame, and environmental puzzles.
- Hide, move carefully, and react to enemies that behave differently in each area.
- Collect presents and logs, then use New Game Plus for the hidden ending route.
This is not a traditional night-shift survival loop. Progress is built around exploration and puzzle solving, with chase and stealth sequences between objectives.
