Nico's Nextbots is a Roblox horror game created by developer nicopatty, built around being chased through maps by flat image entities known as nextbots. The concept grew from the wider nextbot meme in Garry's Mod and spread through Roblox clips, streams and short edits on social platforms. Short in game cues like the lights on sound were lifted into soundboards because they are instantly recognisable to players. It remains popular as a shorthand for a horror game moment turning dangerous, even for viewers who have never played.
