"Five Nights at the Chum Bucket" is a fan-made horror game inspired by the SpongeBob SquarePants universe and also influenced by the style of Five Nights at Freddy's. In this game, players must survive 5 nights against an onslaught of animatronic-like automatons inside the Chum Bucket, a location from SpongeBob SquarePants. It is a point-and-click survival horror game created by Syncaroonie, placing players in a situation where they are trapped inside a steel and concrete building and must survive through the nights by managing threats from characters akin to SpongeBob characters turned hostile. The game is a sequel of sorts to "Five Nights at the Krusty Krab," another fan game in the same style.
Another related game with a similar theme is "6 AM at The Chum Bucket," where Squidward quits working at the Krusty Krab and ends up in the Chum Bucket experiencing horror-themed challenges. This title, created by Dave Microwaves Games, highlights survival horror with stealth and spooky elements, featuring enemy encounters like Karen and other SpongeBob-inspired foes.
Overall, "Five Nights at the Chum Bucket" blends the iconic underwater cartoon setting with horror survival gameplay mechanics inspired by the Five Nights at Freddy's game series.
