Five Nights in Anime: The Visual Novel ReBuilt
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Hey there! Do you remember the FNiA Visual Novel? The one made by TurnerJFrost? You're probably very familiar with it if you watched Mairusu's channel back in 2016-2017, it's one of, if not the most infamous fangame from back then, Mairusu's videos on it have gathered almost 20M views, it was such a big thing that almost every single FNiA artist from back then had at least one or two sprites made exclusively for it.
Nowadays, however, the original visual novel is completely unplayable, mainly because almost every single image used on it is hot linked from a bunch of different places on the internet, and since Turner isn't around anymore, no one ever bothered fixing it... Until now.
This is a completely rewritten version of the novel, rebuild completely from scratch using the same engine as the original, with the purpose of being as accurate to the original as I can possibly make it be.
Important Info:- You may notice a few small differences in the text when compared to Mairusu's videos. This is primarily due to the fact that the text in this version is based on the most recent update of the novel.
- Some of the images might look a bit low quality, that's because a lot of the links for the original images are dead, so I had to on a wild goose hunt trying to find re-uploads of them.
- I made a few changes to some parts of the game to make sure that all routes can be accessible and played. M
aybe you'll even find some things you've never seen before ;)
You can find the credits for the assets in the original page
Also, massive shoutouts to Pyrohinton, who's playtrough of this game has helped me tremendously with the rewriting process

That's because there is no sound buddy
Fun stuff
Can you maybe make it available to android? (i would love to play this but i can't because my pc broke)
Technically yes, since it's a javascript game I could try to make an online version that can be played directly on your browser, a native android version might be possible, but I have literally no idea where to even begin.
oh but take ur time, i can wait.
Notifie me please when you ever release it on android or browser i would love to play it!!!
As much as I really like this, I do wish there was a way to implement the NSFW descriptions. (images not even needed)
You could get creative too if you'd like as well by writing some of your own descriptions.
Don’t know if this is what you mean by that, but the original game had a +18 version that made the game overs more explicit (text-wise). I did manage to salvage some of these game overs, but due to that version of the game being deleted a looooooooong time ago and because I was only able to find like 2 of them. I didn’t end up implementing a way to trigger them.
About that, I have found some videos showcasing quite a number of them... Perhaps you could re-create them from this footage?
Fnia visual novel episode 1 part 2 me and baby feel uncomfortable with Xander and baby of course (youtube.com)
Uh I have a question, so when I download it I dont find a way to play it, only the archives on the folder, but not the executable, someone here may help?
You find NO executables? Not even NB?
A few of the paths stop letting you progress after certain lines of dialogue, such as the neighbor telling me to shower and then meet her for tea and a chat. In the 83 story, it stops progressing after Terra scares Christine.
Unfortunately, that's just how they end normally, there isn't anything beyond that point. In the original game they get cut off like that, and since I wanted this version to be as accurate as possible, I just left them like that.
Why not pick up where Turner left off? You might make something good out of it.
Thank you for this internautas
😁
thank you for this!
what is the "payload" program? is it a virus?
Idk, it's somehting that CloudNovel threw with the rest of the files, It probably has something todo with the fact that CN is html-based.
is this project completed or not except for the game over scenes basally i want to know if all routes are done.
Yeah everything is done
thx
are some of them supposed to say wip
yes
k and im guessing you couldent get the wip off of some of them.
yep
Android?
CN can't export to android.
game have erotic
?
nah not really most suggestive scene been cut from what I saw
the +18 version is long deleted before it could be recover I think
Yep, the +18 version was deleted sometime around 2017 I belive, I did manage to recover some of the game over scenes, but couldn't find a convinient way to implement them in the game withouth breaking the entire thing, so they're inaccessible right now.
Turner disappear entirely from internet, pretty sure same goes to anyone associate with this project
