Five Nights at Scratcher's

Five Nights at Scratcher's is an indie point-and-click survival horror video game and the first installment of the series developed by Zachary Byrum. It was first released on Desura on August 8, 2020 and released on Steam on August 18, 2020. The goal for the player is to survive five nights at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and Candy's Burgers and Fries' business competition, Johnny Scratcher's Ocean Parlor while avoiding getting caught and killed by the animatronic characters and tracking their movements via the restaurant's security cameras.

Summary
Welcome to your new summer job at Johnny Scratcher's Ocean Parlor, where kids and parents alike come for entertainment and sea food as far as the eye can see!

The main attraction is Johnny Scratcher, of course, and his two friends. They are animatronic robots, programmed to please the crowds!

The robots' behavior has become somewhat unpredictable at night, however, and it was much cheaper to hire you as a security guard than to find a repairman. From your small office you must watch the security cameras carefully. You have a very limited amount of electricity that you're allowed to use per night (corporate budget cuts, you know). That means when you run out of power for the night — no more security doors and no more lights! If something isn't right — namely, if Johnny Scratcher or his friends aren't in their proper places, you must find them on the monitors and protect yourself if needed!

Can you survive Five Nights at Scratcher's?

Gameplay
The player sits in an office and monitors security cameras positioned throughout the restaurant to observe the animatronic mascots. The player has a limited amount of power to view camera feeds, light hallways, and close the doors on either side of them.

The player must use the camera feed locations in the building and hold the animatronics off using the doors. If the player fails to do this, they will be jumpscared and receive a Game Over. To advance to the next night, the player must survive from 12:00 AM to 6:00 AM (8 minutes and 37 seconds in real-time, 4 minutes 30 seconds on the mobile edition).

The four animatronics that the player must avoid are the titular Johnny Scratcher and his three friends: Slick, Barkster, and Pincher. There is an additional animatronic known as Dark Scratcher who only appears when the player experiences a hallucination.

Trivia

 * There is a secret animatronic known as the Jacksepticeye Animatronic, who's only an Easter egg in the game if you click on the Jacksepticeye icon on one of the posters. If you click on it, the animatronic will jumpscare you, but it will all be a hallucination.


 * If you complete the levels, you'll collect some clips for you're extras board, which are shown as commercials for Johnny Scratcher's Ocean Parlor.


 * Five Nights at Scratcher's was created on the same day Scott made the game, Five Nights at Freddy's
