The player takes control of a young boy named Gregory, who is locked in a large shopping mall filled with murderous animatronics and must complete numerous missions to survive the night in order to escape.  

The story begins with a beta tester hired by Fazbear Entertainment named Vanessa to work on a project that became the game FNAF: Help Wanted. A previous beta tester working on the project found a glitch in the system and affixed it to her logs, then split the logs and hid them within the game in order to contain the strange glitch. Vanessa, the main character of FNAF Help Wanted, compiles the logs and releases an entity known as Glitchtrap.

They expedited development of Help Wanted by scanning the circuit boards from the remains of the previous fire. Scraptrap, aka William Afton’s soul bound to the remains of a Bonnie suit (that’s different somehow than Springtrap). This is the likely method in which this “glitch” first appears, but after Vanessa reassembles the tapes then Glitchtrap becomes fully activated at this point. He also locks Vanessa away, in a digital prison that’s later revisited in the 3 star ending where you free Vanessa from the prison in Princess Quest.

Vanessa, who is dressed as a night guard, is working the night shift. It’s assumed she’s working in an official capacity, as the animatronics respond as if she is; however, do not be fooled. It’s clear the memory of the animatronics are quite altered and reality might not quite be as it seems.

Vanny, continuing William Afton’s streak, was attempting to capture Gregory when he escaped into Glamrock Freddy somehow. It’s unknown how Vanny couldn’t just pull Gregory out of Freddy or how this works, why Gregory was there or who Gregory is. 

Gregory wakes up inside of Glamrock Freddy who is in his room presumably to take photos for the guests and whatnot. Immediately upon waking up, Vanessa shows up and Gregory then goes on a quest to release Glamrock Freddy. Freddy then takes Gregory to the entrance, which is now closed.

Gregory then goes to begin getting security passes in an attempt to find another available exit. The first stop is the first security pass, which is located in the Daycare. The Daycare Attendant (Sun/Moon) is inside and non-hostile until the lights are turned off and they switch to Moon. Gregory turns on the generators in the room, gets the lights on and is immediately kicked out.

Every hour, the lights are turned off and Gregory must reach a recharge station with Freddy to be safe from the Daycare Attendant. Freddy and Gregory run to a recharge station. Gregory obtains a map and then, while attempting to get on an elevator, is captured by Vanessa and taken to Lost & Found.
