This game is a fan-created survival horror title (often found on platforms like GameJolt or mobile app stores) that combines two massive internet horror trends.
The game shifts away from the static "sit and survive" gameplay of traditional FNAF titles into an active exploration and evasion style.
1. Exploration and Navigation Players must navigate the procedurally generated or maze-like levels of the Backrooms. The goal is usually to find an exit or collect specific items (such as notes, keys, or plushies) to progress to the next level. The monotonous design of the walls makes it easy to get lost, requiring players to maintain a mental map or use environmental landmarks.
2. Active Stealth Because the animatronics are wandering the map, you cannot simply close a door to stop them. You must use stealth mechanics:
3. The "Tales" Element Depending on the specific version or update of the game, there is often a narrative layer. Players uncover notes or audio logs that explain why these animatronics are in the Backrooms. Is it a hallucination? A glitch in reality? Or a sinister experiment gone wrong?

Status: Sanity Fragile. Battery 12%.
The layout makes no sense. The wallpaper is peeling, stained with a dampness that smells like old pizza and sulfur. I keep walking, turning corners, hoping to find an exit sign, but the backrooms are infinite.
I spotted Bonnie near the pillar about an hour ago. He looks wrong. The fluorescent lighting washes out his purple fur, making him look pale, almost grey. He doesn’t walk; he twitches. In the pizzeria, he came from the left hallway. Here? He came through the wall. I watched him phase through the drywall like it was water, his dead white eyes locking onto mine before I sprinted into the labyrinth of mono-yellow.
The Rules Are Different Here:
The Objective: Find the "Party Room."
Rumors among the other lost souls suggest that if you can find a room set up like the pizzeria—complete with a checkered floor and a long table with birthday hats—you might find a way back. But that room is guarded by Golden Freddy. He sits in the chair, limp, teleporting around the level. If you look at him too long in the Backrooms, you don't get a game over screen. You wake up in the "The Void."
Current Threat: I hear the music box. It’s playing "Pop! Goes the Weasel." The Puppet is here. In the Backrooms, there is no gift box to wind up to keep him away. The music is getting louder, but it sounds distorted, playing backward.
I have to keep moving. The lights are flickering. This game is a fan-created survival horror title
End Log.
Freddy's Tales: Backrooms Survival (often abbreviated FTBS) is a fan-made or low-budget indie horror game that cross-pollinates two major internet horror phenomena:
Core premise: The player is trapped not in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, but in a Backrooms level that has been "infected" by Fazbear Entertainment's haunted animatronics. Survive both the environment's madness and the stalking animatronics.
Note on legitimacy: There is no official Freddy's Tales game from Steel Wool Studios or Scott Cawthon. Multiple small developers on itch.io and GameJolt have used this or similar titles. This report analyzes the most complete fan version (circa 2022–2024) found on platforms like GameJolt. The Objective: Find the "Party Room
Final rating (fan-game standards): 7/10 – Creatively terrifying, technically shaky.
