Horror Video Game Night: Five Nights at Freddy’s

Want to play horror games, but too scared to play them on your own? Join us on the 25th to play Five Nights at Freddy’s together!

On the big screen, we will play:
Five Nights at Freddy’s 1&2
Welcome to your new summer job at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, where kids and parents alike come for entertainment and food as far as the eye can see! The main attraction is Freddy Fazbear, of course; and his two friends. They are animatronic robots, programmed to please the crowds! The robots’ behavior has become somewhat unpredictable at night however, and it was much cheaper to hire you as a security guard than to find a repairman.

From your small office you must watch the security cameras carefully. You have a very limited amount of electricity that you’re allowed to use per night (corporate budget cuts, you know). That means when you run out of power for the night- no more security doors and no more lights! If something isn’t right- namely if Freddybear or his friends aren’t in their proper places, you must find them on the monitors and protect yourself if needed!

On a seperate screen, we will play:
I’m on Observation Duty 1
I’m on observation duty is a short horror game where your job is to monitor live surveillance camera footage and spot anomalies in the monitored rooms. Anomalies range from furniture movement to otherworldly intruders. When you spot an anomaly all you have to do is file an anomaly report describing the type and location of the anomaly. Simple, right? You will need sharp eyes and good memory to survive the entire night. Are you up for the task? Maybe you’ll even discover some secrets along the way.

About this event
Media artist Roos Groothuizen is currently researching smart doorbells, responsible tech, trust & horror. These “surveillance cameras” are quietly taking the country by storm. Viral videos of cute children, pets and delivery drivers are flooding the web. Does this mean we can finally trust the surveillance camera as our friend?

This event focuses on horror games using surveillance cameras as game mechanics.

This event is made possible with the financial support of CBK Rotterdam and Stimuleringsfonds.
