The gameplay of "Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator" is a unique blend of tycoon management and survival horror, offering players the chance to build and manage their own pizzeria while navigating tense night shifts filled with animatronic threats.

- “The gameplay loop involves doing the same tasks over and over again, with only minor variations in difficulty.”
- “The actual night part of this is atrocious, the animatronics don't listen to the audio cue and even just with one character it's unnecessarily hard and that doesn't help that even if it did work right, it would still be awful just because the mechanics in general are just plain dumb.”
