The Office Demo is a demo for THE JOY OF CREATION, developed by Nikson and published by Clickteam LLC. The Office Demo was planned to be released before the end of 2023; though, the game was delayed a few times before being released on August 2, 2024, as a part of Five Nights at Freddy's 10-year anniversary lineup.

Gameplay[]

The player begins in an office, where they play through a short segment guiding them through the basic mechanics of the level. Afterwards, the power shuts down and they are forced to check their computer. Text appears on the computer, introducing the player to Ignited Freddy's mechanics. More of these tips introducing Ignited Foxy and Ignited Bonnie's mechanics appear as the player dies. Once the player dismisses the text, the night begins.

Located in the office is The Creator's desk, two three-drawer shelves, four larger lockers, and a fuse box. The player can look inside of any of the drawers or the lockers to search for items. The Creator's desk contains a set of three monitors that can be used to monitor a closet to the left, a larger hallway in front of the desk, and an outside window exit to the right.

Throughout the night, the player has to manage their power by replacing fuses in the fuse box with fresh ones found throughout a room. There are a total of five sections that need to be managed: one for the main power, one for the flashlight, and one for each camera. The camera power drains as the cameras are used, and when a camera runs out of power, "NO SIGNAL" text will be displayed on the screen and it cannot be interacted with until the camera is powered up again. The flashlight decreases in power every time it is used (for a total of six uses). The main power drains at a consistent speed regardless of what the player is using. When it drains fully, it cannot be powered back up again. After a short amount of time, Inner Freddy will appear in his inner form and kill the player.

The player must flash their flashlight on Freddy a total of twelve times to conclude the night. Every time Freddy is flashed, the time on the analog clock and the digital clock in the room will increase by one hour. Freddy will appear in either the left or right corner of a camera. If the player flashes the wrong side of the room, He will flee. If the player fails to flash Freddy in time, he will leave the room.

While attempting to survive the night and flash Freddy, the player will be attacked by a variety of the other Ignited Animatronics. They become progressively more powerful and resistant to the player's attempts to fend them off as they replace more fuses.

Bonnie will eventually appear at either side of any room in any camera and continue to periodically appear throughout the night. When the player looks at him on the camera, he will attack the camera and instantly drain all of its power. Not looking at him prevents his attack. Looking at him at the door while he is in a room will cause him to non-fatally punch the player.

Foxy will later appear right in front of any camera and continue to periodically appear throughout the night. Opening a door while Foxy is at it will instantly result in a jumpscare. To prevent Foxy's jumpscare, the player must look as his eyes as he moves around repeatedly until he disappears. The amount of times the player must look at his eyes increases as the player spends more time in a night, but it doesn't necessarily increase depending on the in-game hour.

Ignited Chica appears last and will crawl out of a hole in the ceiling in front of The Creator's desk. The player must find anywhere from 3-6 Ignited Cupcake's and flash them with the flashlight. Once all of the Cupcakes are removed, She will disappear. These flashes will drain the player's flashlight power like a flash to Freddy would. Failing to ward off Chica after a significant amount of time will result in a jumpscare.

Once the player completes the demo, a short cinematic plays revealing an unnamed new antagonist.
