Show Notes
In 2014, indie developer Scott Cawthon turned failure into fear with Five Nights at Freddy’s, a game that changed his life and horror gaming forever. Today, we follow his journey from Christian animation and struggling indie projects to the moment he embraced the criticism that sparked a phenomenon. We talk about how his faith, frustration, and creativity brought Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza to life—and how YouTube, novels, spin-offs, and even a movie helped turn it into a global hit. Join us as we monitor cameras, conserve power, and survive the night through Five Nights at Freddy’s on today’s trip down Memory Card Lane.
