Aftonbuilt

About

Aftonbuilt is a survival puzzle game inspired by Five Nights at Freddy's. You play as a mechanic repairing broken animatronics in four haunted locations, using scavenged tools to craft traps and barricades. Gameplay balances stealth and combat, forcing you to outthink aggressive robots by manipulating the environment. Each level hides lore fragments that piece together the history of William Afton and Fazbear Entertainment's dark past. The game's non-linear structure lets you tackle levels in any order, altering dialogue and story outcomes based on your choices. This creates multiple valid playthroughs with shifting revelations about Afton's motives and connections. While jump scares are minimal, the focus on environmental puzzles and lore hunting offers a different challenge than traditional FNAF entries. Fans report around 8-10 hours for first playthroughs with 30%+ completion rates on subsequent runs.
