Game Overview

Chaves Nightmares is a Five Nights at Freddy's-style survival horror game featuring characters from the classic Chaves TV series, reimagined as terrifying nightmare creatures.

Core Gameplay

You're trapped in the vecindad at night. Your goal is simple: survive until 6 AM.

  • Manage limited resources (power, doors, lights)
  • React quickly when characters approach
  • Survive increasingly difficult nights
