About the Game

POPGOES is an official Five Nights at Freddy's spinoff series, produced by Scott Cawthon and developed by fans as part of the "Fazbear Fanverse Initiative".

In POPGOES Arcade you'll play through two RPG campaigns: "POPGOES: The Dead Forest" (originally released for free in 2020) and "POPGOES and The Machinist" (a built-in sequel for the Steam release!). These fun, colourful, and mysterious adventures will introduce you to new characters like Popgoes the Weasel and Manora the Mouse, but with no attention taken from classic FNAF characters like Chica the Chicken and Foxy the Pirate.

Featuring...

  • A large, expanding map to unlock, explore, and fight bad guys in!

  • Tons of interesting characters, easter eggs, secrets and lore!

  • A retro art style, inspired by the minigames in the FNAF series!

What's in POPGOES and The Machinist?

  • An entire sequel campaign available after fully completing The Dead Forest!

  • Completely new areas, enemies and abilities like Overkill and Scrap Coins!

  • Deep, dark secrets connected to the wider POPGOES universe...

And on top of POPGOES and The Machinist, the Steam version also has...

  • A customisable room that displays your progress with weapons and trophies!

  • The Bestiary and The Index, encyclopedias of encountered enemies with tips!

  • 50 Steam achievements, 25 for each chapter!

What's Fighting Chance?

  • Fighting Chance is an overhaul to POPGOES Arcade released in 2025.

  • Introducing "Battle Gifts", super fun, random modifiers to spice up battles!

  • Lots of abilities, mechanics, and visuals have also been redesigned!
