Chica first appeared in Five Nights at Freddy's, the 2014 indie horror game by Scott Cawthon, where animatronic characters stalk the player through a night shift. Her kitchen noises and proximity moans became some of the most recognisable audio cues in the series, shared widely in fan videos, soundboards and horror edits. Fans often pair this moan with the FNAF jumpscare scream to build a scare in two steps, first the warning and then the attack, which is why the clip keeps circulating long after the original release.
