The game starts with a minigame which shows a young boy who is locked in his bedroom with plush toys, in which he calls his friends.[5] It is speculated that Five Nights at Freddy's 4's gameplay is the result of the boy suffering from nightmares that he is being attacked by the animatronics, and must protect himself. After the player survives the first night, Fredbear tells the boy that "he" (who is presumably the boy's brother) is hiding in the house, before the boy is jump-scared by his brother, who is wearing a Foxy mask. [6] After the second night, the boy is abandoned at the pizzeria, only to be warned by Fredbear's voice that "he" is coming and that he needs to be brave; however, the boy is sensitive and afraid of the animatronics and costumed mascots, and he ends up crying. An easter egg during this scene briefly shows the "Purple Guy" from the second and third games placing someone in the Spring Bonnie suit.[7]
After the third night, the minigame reveals that other children tease the boy, calling him a coward and crybaby,[8] and that there are rumors of the animatronics coming to life at night and attempting to murder people.[9] The boy, in turn, sees his plush toys as his only friends and generally eschews interaction with other people in favor of them. After the fourth night, it is revealed that he was once locked in the building's parts and services room as a prank.[10] If the fifth night is completed, the boy is shown crying at his own birthday party in the pizzeria. "He" is revealed to be the boy's brother, alongside other bullies wearing the masks of the animatronics from the first game to terrorize the boy.[11] The group, deciding to prank the boy, grab him and try to get him close to the mouth of Fredbear for a "kiss"[12] and end up stuffing the boy's head into the mouth of Fredbear.[13] Suddenly, Fredbear, who was in the middle of singing, forcefully closes his mouth, resulting in the boy's head being crushed while the brother and his friends stare in abject horror.
After the sixth night, the boy hears a voice apologizing to him,[14] as Fredbear promises him that no matter how many times he "breaks", he and the others will always be there to "put him back together" and will always be his friends.[15] The characters then fade out one by one by each sentence, and the faint sound of a heart monitor flatlining can be heard, ending the game. Following this, the player unlocks Nightmare mode, which is the same as the sixth night with the exception of a new animatronic, Nightmare (theorized to be a nightmarish version of Shadow Freddy, as seen very rarely in Five Nights at Freddy's 2 and seen in the minigames of Five Nights at Freddy's 3) who is a more aggressive version of Nightmare Fredbear.
If the player completes Nightmare mode, an image of a locked metal trunk is displayed; if the player wiggles the padlocks, the game eventually states "Perhaps some things are best left forgotten, for now."[16] Cawthon has remained cryptic about what is inside the trunk, and has yet to reveal so.
Throughout the game, when one looks in the background, very rarely, they can see a container of pills on the night table, an IV, and flowers on the night table, implying that the boy is now in the hospital after the events of the Bite, and one theory suggests that the reason that he sees the animatronics, particularly Fredbear, (his root fear) as nightmares is that he was killed by one of them.
