The Joy of Creation: Reborn is a fan-made horror game inspired by the Five Nights at Freddys franchise. Its first version was published on Gamejolt April 6th, 2016.
Created by famed animator Nikson with the Unreal Engine, Reborn just might be the most terrifying fan-made interpretation of the FNaF series to date. Still in its alpha stages, the project began with “Endless Mode” that follows a Featureless Protagonist navigating his way through his house on a dark rainy night. The first level is the houses First Floor, haunted by the “Ignited Freddy” animatronic, the second level is the Basement, haunted by “Ignited Bonnie”, the third level is the Attic, haunted by “Ignited Foxy”, and the fourth level is the Forest, haunted by “Ignited Chica”. A Halloween update has also been released, in which the player is pursued through Fazbears Fright by “Ignited Springtrap”.
After Endless Modes development was complete and released, Nikson began working on “Story Mode”, starting with the “Living Room”, where all animatronics have the player trapped in their living room.
The story mode was completed on July 17th, 2017, and goes a little something like this: indie developer Scott Cawthons family finds that a man named Michael had arrived in their house in the middle of the night, and he can barely remember how he got there. Worried, the family allows him to rest at their home, but they quickly find that Michael wasnt alone…
In August 2020, it was confirmed that all 3 games (the original, Reborn, and Story Mode) are being bundled up into one game: The Joy of Creation: Ignited Collection, as part of Scott Cawthons Fazbear Fanverse Initiative. The original and Reborn are being reworked entirely, while still keeping the arcade highscore-based gameplay, while the story mode is planned to have more minor changes in terms of gameplay, but there are expected to be changes to the story itself.

What is the story of The Joy of Creation?
The Joy of Creation takes inspiration from the Five Nights at Freddy’s game and has been created by Nickson, a fan of the FNaF series. The original TJoC is a survival game where the main character is none other than Scott Cawthon, the creator of FNaF. It follows Scott as he tries to survive a night in a house haunted by animatronics.
After TJoC was released, Nickson informed its fans that there wouldn’t be a sequel to the game. However, four months later, he took fan votes into account and created Reborn, a game with a few subtle features, better than the original. Another game called The Joy of Creation: Story Mode brings the elements of both games together and follows Nick Cawthon, the son of Scott, as he visits the abandoned house after 10 years.
Its the night of August 8th, 2016, and Five Nights at Freddys 2nd Anniversary has passed. Celebrated worldwide, the hit indie horror series and its creator have made themselves a place in modern culture and the hearts of many.
Play through the eyes of Scott Cawthon and his family, as they try to survive inside their own home on the dreadful night that brought the horror into reality, the scorched beings whose origin and motives are yet unknown. Find the secrets lurking in the house, and uncover the mysterious events that led to the cancellation of the next game in the series.
The Joy of Creation: Story Mode is a horror FNaF fan game made by Nikson. Its the third and final installment of The Joy of Creation series. It was released on July 18th, 2017 for Microsoft Windows and it will be released as part of The Joy of Creation: Ignited Collection for consoles and mobiles, but the date isnt confirmed.
