For those who believe that the animatronics from Fuzzy Dice were the inspiration for FNaF, you're wrong. Here's the actual story behind the game:

Before Scott Cawthon, the developer of the game, created FNaF, he made more family-friendly games. The people who played those games heavily criticized the poor animation and the fact that the characters in the games looked like animatronics. Scott was about to give up in the videogame industry because of these reviews, until he decided to use this to his own advantage, and thus, Scott created the indie game we all know as Five Nights at Freddy's.
