What is Five Nights at Winston's?
Five Nights at Winston's is a fan game in the style of Five Nights at Freddy's, made by Calder Young in 2018. You play as the janitor of a school. Each night starts at 12 AM in a small office, and you must survive until 6 AM.
The creatures are erasers with creepy faces and paperclip limbs. They move through the school while you watch. You have a door switch, a button on the wall, and a camera panel at the bottom of the screen. Every tool uses power, and the power left shows in the bottom corner.
Controls
| Key or action | What it does |
|---|---|

| Bar at the bottom | Open and close the camera panel |
| Wall switch and button | Use the door and the light |
| Skip Call | Skip the phone message at the start of a night |
How to play
Choose New Game. Listen to the phone call on night 1, because it explains the rules. Then check the cameras to see where each creature is. Close the door only when one is close, because a closed door drains power fast.
The usage meter shows how many tools are on. More bars mean the power drops faster.
3 tips
- Do not keep the cameras open all night. Check, then close them.
- Watch the power percent. If it runs out before 6 AM, the night is lost.
- Play with sound on but quiet. Many warnings are sounds, not pictures.
