FNAF: Help Wanted is a 2019 survival-horror game developed by Steel Wool Studios and Scott Cawthon, and an official entry in the Five Nights at Freddy's series.

It bundles remade versions of the classic FNAF 1–4 nights with original minigames, playable in both VR and non-VR ("flat") modes. You can buy and play it on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Meta Quest, and mobile.

It is a paid game, not an official free browser title, and its intense jump-scares make it better suited to teens than young children.

FNAF: Help Wanted is a 2019 survival-horror game developed by Steel Wool Studios and Scott Cawthon, and an official entry in the Five Nights at Freddy's series.

It bundles remade versions of the original FNAF 1–4 nights with new minigames, putting players inside the franchise's haunted animatronic world.

The game has a clever in-universe framing: you play as someone testing a series of "simulations" supposedly built by an indie developer hired by Fazbear Entertainment.

That setup lets the game remix the older titles while weaving in a fresh story thread, including the introduction of Glitchtrap, a character that became central to later FNAF lore.

It was built VR-first to put you physically inside the security office, then later received a non-VR version so players without a headset could experience it too. For longtime fans, it works as both a greatest-hits collection and a genuine new chapter.

Key Insight: "Help Wanted reframes the classic FNAF games as in-universe 'simulations,' turning a remake collection into a new story with its own villain, Glitchtrap." FNAF: Help Wanted was developed by Steel Wool Studios in collaboration with series creator Scott Cawthon.

Steel Wool has since become the primary studio behind the franchise's 3D and VR titles, including the sequel. To play FNAF: Help Wanted, you complete a series of short survival-horror minigames where the goal is to avoid the animatronics and last until each level ends.
