Nico's Nextbots is a Roblox horror game built around being chased by nextbots, strange characters that pursue players across large maps until they make contact and trigger a jumpscare. Clips from the game spread through Roblox gameplay videos, livestreams and short-form edits, where the sudden scare became a recognisable shorthand for a run ending badly. It remains popular because the setup is instantly understood even by viewers who have never played: run, get caught, react. Fans of Roblox horror also compare it with the Roblox oof and the FNAF jumpscare scream.
