About Five Nights at Freddy's: Afton's Nightmare
Afton's Nightmare places you in a security room with a tablet and a hiding spot beneath the desk. Springtrap and Baby move through the camera views, and their disappearance can signal that it is time to hide. The challenge is noticing the change and leaving the tablet quickly enough to respond.
Follow Springtrap and Baby
Open the tablet and inspect the camera feeds. Pay attention to which character is present in a room before switching away: an empty view matters when you know someone was there. Continue checking the feeds as the characters move through the building.
If Springtrap or Baby disappears from a camera, lower the tablet and hide beneath the desk. The hiding spot is below the remote control, so locate it before an urgent encounter. Staying on the cameras to search every remaining view can cost the time you need to reach cover.
Listen Before Returning
While hidden, listen for footsteps and wait for them to stop before emerging. Then return to the tablet and locate the next approach. This creates a clear cycle: observe the cameras, respond to a disappearance, wait in cover and resume surveillance.
Freddy can also appear during the shift, so return to the feeds after a hiding sequence rather than assuming the danger has passed for the rest of the night. Each new visit calls for the same careful attention to what has changed on screen.
