Night Watch At Wilford's

Night Watch at Wilford's is the survival horror experience that brings all the fun and thrills of FNaF (and more!) to your Atari 2600.

As the sole nighttime security guard at the once-spectacular Wilford Wombat's Funtime Pizzeria, you must defend yourself from a band of rogue animatronics out to devour you. Can your quick wits, resourcefulness, and heed get you to the end of your shift — much less your first week on the job — alive?

- 7 NIGHTS OF UNBRIDLED CHAOS AND HORROR
- PLAYS LIKE FNAF 1 AND THEN SOME
- GENESIS/MEGA DRIVE/2-BUTTON CONTROLLER SUPPORT*
(The classic joystick works just fine, but boy, you'll have a much better time if you have that extra button!)

GAMEPLAY:

CONTROLS:

Left/Right: focus on one of the side doors in your office.
Left/Right + Up: open one of the side doors.✝
Left/Right + Down: close one of the side doors.✝
Left/Right + Fire: Turn on either door light.
Down then Fire (red button): Shut off all power; can be used in emergency situations.*
Up then Fire: Set off emergency alarm.**
No joystick motion, then hold Fire: enter security camera mode.
Hold Fire, then Joystick in any direction: switch security camera feeds.
B/W Switch: pause game
Left difficulty switch: Activate/deactivate Dave the Devil (see below)
Right difficulty switch: Enable/disable power usage handicaps (see below)

✝ On compatible two-button controllers, e.g. Sega Genesis/Mega Drive controllers, Left/Right + Second Button (C button) opens and closes doors.
* You'll have a limited amount of time to do this. When the right difficulty switch is set to B, it will slowly replenish when the power's back on. It will not if it's set to A.
** When the right difficulty switch is set to A, this will cease to function if you can no longer switch off the power.  

The amount of power you have left is shown in the left stamina bar. The amount of power being used at once is shown on the right.
The following actions will consume power, so do them strategically:
- Checking the security cameras
- Closing the doors (I'm happy to say that whoever designed those doors in your office was fired)
- Turning on the door lights (see if Carol or Mia are on their way into your office)
- Setting off the emergency alarm (wards off intruders and animatronics already in your office, but provokes animatronics' aggression for a bit)  

You'll have to deal with five animatronics:
- Carol Caw: Goes after you through the rooms on the left of your office. Very persistent.
- Mia the Monster: Goes after you through the rooms on the right of your office, including an area whose camera can't pick up any video signals. Extremely patient.
- Dave the Crane: Will slowly emerge from the second show stage before charging straight for your office (through the left door). This can be avoided by checking the cameras frequently and shutting your left door whenever he does come to get you.
- Wilford the Wombat: Unlike the others, Wilford has a bit of a strategy when it comes to popping into your office when you least expect him. He'll hang out by the right door or the nearby break room and wait patiently for your attention to drift elsewhere before attacking.
- Dave the Devil: Will only appear when the left difficulty switch is set to A. He'll attack you directly if you look at the cameras too much at once or if you've exhausted your ability to shut off the power. David the Devil was featured during the establishment's first year or so of business, but promptly retired and replaced with a shoddily-built crane when a bit of controversy broke out over it.

You also may or may not have to deal with the occasional Burglar (you were hired to deal with them, after all). They will attempt to blend into their surroundings and hastily and quietly traverse from the front entryway and towards the power supply near the main stage. If you can catch them in the act, sound the alarm! But if you don't, you'll be all out of power before you know it.

STORY:

The year is 1983. The owner of Wilford Wombat’s Funtime Pizzaria and Games is looking to turn his promising restaurant into the next big thing in family fun. However, mere weeks after entering negotiations with a potential parent company, things start to feel... off. It’s bad enough that there the arcade hasn’t been as profitable as before or that the pizza isn’t particularly tasty. A few kids have gone missing. Some patrons swear that the animatronics have been staring at them. Some of the managers have been acting strange. The place is falling into decay at an alarming rate.

Fearing the worst, the owner of Wilford’s puts his business meetings on hold and returns home. In order to get everything back in order, a large portion of what little money they have available is spent on a new state-of-the-art security system. It comes equipped with battery-powered doors, extra cameras, and an easy-to-use alarm system. Sadly, the funds dry up before the kinks can be straightened out, and all they can currently afford is a single security guard to manage it all. Unfortunately, the one they already had hasn’t arrived for his shift tonight. He won’t even pick up the phone.

That’s where YOU come in.
This is the only job you’ve been able to get in this town. That’s alright, because It’s done in six hours and it pays decently well. Your boss seems to appreciate your presence for once. All seems well.

And now here you are: alone, with only deafening silence and some finicky equipment to keep you company - Or so you thought. It’s becoming evident that something in this place wants you dead, and you haven’t got another second to think about it.

Can your quick wits, resourcefulness, and heed get you to the end of your shift — much less your first week on the job — alive?

The basic design framework of this game was based upon the original Five Nights at Freddy's, released by Scott Cawthon in 2014.
