SHOWMAN'S: The Awakening release was ahead of schedule

One of the best Five Nights at Freddy's fangames, especially in term of scariness, this is one of my top 3 of all time! SHOWMAN'S: The Awakening is developed by Iz with Blender, a remastered version of Phobia: The Awakening (2021), originally expected to be released in June 2025, it ended up launching at the end of May.

The version features overhauled models and introduces new characters to replace those originally based on The Wiggles. This not only gave the developer more creative freedom but also helped avoid potential legal issues tied to using copyrighted characters. While the original Phobia version is still available, but you never know how long that might last…

The gameplay follows a little bit of FNAF 2 style and FNAF 6 (salvage minigame), five nights + one boss fight on Night 6, just like the Phobia version. However, this time Night 6 introduces a new mechanic, instead of the mask, you use a flashlight to defend yourself and to look around in a dark room. You can also replay any night after completing it, which allows you to search for five hidden tapes, one in each night, that reveal secret parts of the story. After collecting all five, the final hidden tape becomes available in Night 6.

Easter Egg

List of the different:
  • New models & characters
  • New maps (in the camera)
  • Since there's new maps, the secret tape locations are also different
  • New cutscene animations (roughly 13 minutes)
  • Night 6 different mechanic
  • Game Over Screen with voicelines
  • Extra easter eggs / rare events
  • Remake the room of watching the secret tapes
  • Remake the Gallery, with description of each character
Full gameplay walkthrough including the secret tapes

DarkTaurus FNAF fangames' save files (updated on January 2026)

Sometimes, due to computer repairs, hardware changes, or file corruption, I end up losing save files that I spent a lot of time playing. So now, I'm going to back up as many game saves as possible here, just in case the same problem happens again. Since they've been uploaded, I’d like to share them with you as well. Note: 1. All saves have completed the main story, but not all have 100% completion (e.g., challenge modes, custom nights, achievements). 2. Save file locations are based on the version I’m playing and might change in an update.
