Five Nights at Epstein's

Five Nights at Epstein's challenges players to survive five terrifying nights using security cameras, sound traps, and strategic defensive controls.

What Is Five Nights at Epstein's?

Five Nights at Epstein's is a dark survival horror game set on an abandoned island compound. After being discovered during a secret investigation, you are forced to hide in a locked bathroom while waiting for rescue. Unfortunately, you are not alone.

When night falls, the compound turns into a hunting ground. Dangerous figures roam the hallways, crawl through vents, and move across the camera grid. You cannot fight back or escape. Your only option is to monitor security feeds and use sound distractions to stay hidden.

The objective is simple: survive until 6:00 AM. Repeat this for five consecutive nights to win.

The Camera-Based Survival System

The entire experience takes place through a security camera interface. Enemies constantly move between rooms, vents, and blind spots, forcing you to stay alert at all times.

Audio lures can redirect most enemies, but repeated use may damage nearby cameras.
If cameras break, they must be restarted from the control panel.
Vent attackers signal their approach with loud banging, requiring you to close the vents quickly.
One specific enemy cannot be distracted by sound and must be handled through direct intervention.

Each night increases the difficulty. By Night 4, all threats become active simultaneously. On Night 5, power drains rapidly, and even a small mistake can end your run.

Success depends less on fast reflexes and more on smart prioritization and careful system management.

Controls and System Management

You control everything using your mouse and the central control panel.

Main actions include:

Switching between camera feeds
Activating audio distractions
Closing and reopening ventilation systems
Restarting damaged cameras
Triggering defensive systems when necessary

Quick and confident decisions are essential. Delaying even a few seconds can lead to failure.

Extra Modes and Challenges

After completing the main five nights, additional challenges become available:

Night 6: A special mode where enemy behavior becomes far more unpredictable and aggressive.
Custom Night: Select which enemies appear and adjust their difficulty to create personalized survival scenarios.

These modes push the game’s mechanics to their limits and offer a much tougher test of strategy and focus.

Survival Tips

To increase your chances of lasting all five nights:

Rotate audio lure locations to prevent system overload.
Keep enemies positioned as far away from your hiding spot as possible.
React immediately to vent warnings, then reopen vents promptly to avoid suffocation.
Regularly check camera status so repairs do not interrupt critical moments.

Staying calm is more important than acting quickly. Panic often leads to mistakes.
