One Night at Flumpty's (ONaF) is a point-and-click survival horror game inspired by the popular Five Nights at Freddy's series. Developed by Jonochrome, ONaF offers players a unique blend of humor and horror, challenging them to survive a night against eccentric characters led by the mysterious Flumpty Bumpty.
Originally released on January 28, 2015, ONaF quickly gained attention for its distinctive art style and engaging gameplay mechanics. Set in a cramped, dark room with various cameras to track the movements of Flumpty and his companions. The main goal is to survive until 6am by preventing these characters from entering the room to attack you, with limited electricity and doors.
ONaF follows the FNAF franchise's traditional survival gameplay, where you monitor and track activities through cameras and defend with doors, so planning your strategy consistently is key. Players must use the power of doors and lights wisely to prevent other characters from entering their rooms. Each character has its behavior, requiring players to understand how to use the tools to their fullest potential. For example, Grunkfuss the Clown's progression is tied to the use of cameras, forcing players to balance surveillance and safety.
Jonochrome developed ONaF using GameMaker Studio, inspired by a joke between friends. The game's development took about 20 days, culminating in a product that fans of the genre sympathize with. Over time, ONaF has received several updates to improve gameplay and address copyright issues. Notably, on August 22, 2020, an update replaced some of the licensed characters with original designs and introduced a “Hard Boiled Mode,” which offers players an increased difficulty level.
One Night at Flumpty's is accessible across multiple platforms. Players do not need to download it and can play it online on multiple platforms, such as mobile (available for both Android and iOS devices) or on the web; you can play at fnafgame.io.
One Night at Flumpty's is a testament to the creativity within the game's fan community, turning an inside joke into a critically acclaimed horror experience. Its combination of quirky characters, strategic gameplay, and humorous tone has cemented its place in the annals of indie horror games. Whether you're a veteran fan or new to the genre, ONaF offers a thrilling challenge that's both nostalgic and fresh.
