Animatronic horror games

In these games the threat is a costumed robot built to entertain children. You sit in an office, a bedroom or a repair room, watch cameras, shut doors and manage power while animatronic bears, rabbits, foxes and clowns move closer each night. What frightens is the stillness: a figure that has not moved on the last camera, a face in a doorway, a sound in the vents.
