What this site is
Five Nights with Maids Tips is an independent fan wiki for the night-watch survival horror game from developer Now, published by Saikey Studios. It launched on Windows PC via Steam on October 16, 2026.
The site is deliberately narrow. Night-by-night walkthroughs, endings and platform basics are already covered well elsewhere. Rather than duplicate them, this site focuses on four gaps:
- Characters: a roster with confirmed names and reported approach routes.
- Cross-night tips: a power-first method that applies to every night.
- Patch tracking: a record of what the publisher has actually shipped.
- Review and specs: a source-based reception summary and the official PC requirements.
How facts are handled
Every page separates three kinds of information:
- Official: published by Steam, the developer or Saikey Studios. Examples: release date, price, minimum specs, the five character names in the achievement API.
- Community-reported: repeatable observations from public player reviews. Examples: camera routes, shutter cues, launch-build input issues.
- Unknown: details nobody has published. Examples: character ages, official biographies, post-launch patch plans.
The third category stays empty. This site does not fill gaps with plausible-sounding lore or invented patch numbers.
A numeric score implies a precision that a 57-review launch sample does not support. The review page summarises recurring praise and criticism, states the price and requirements, and lets you decide. Scores will be reconsidered only if the sample becomes large enough to justify one.
Sources
Each page ends with the primary sources it relies on: the Steam store listing, the Steam achievements API, the publisher’s product and patch pages, the Steam news hub, public reviews and Metacritic. The page-level notes explain what each source was used for, so a claim can be checked without trusting the summary.
Patch follow-up
The patch-notes page is a living document. When Saikey Studios publishes a new build, changelog or content patch, the update is added with the date it was checked and a link to the source. If no changelog exists, the page says so rather than inventing one.
The current tracker was last checked on October 18, 2026. It records the October 16 launch and the October 17 uncensored patch (v1.0.0, about 263 MB).
Independence and funding
This site is not paid by the developer or publisher, does not host the game, and does not sell the patch. There are no affiliate links or ads. Analytics are aggregate and cookieless. Hosting costs are covered by the site’s operator.
Corrections
If a fact is wrong, send the page URL, the claim, the correct information and a source. Corrections that can be verified are applied and the page’s checked date is updated. Reports without a source may still be investigated, but they are not published as fact.

What comes next
- Add verified patch entries as soon as the publisher ships an update.
- Expand character notes if official profiles or behaviour documentation appear.
- Keep the review page aligned with the public review sample and any price change.
- Add new pages only when they fill a real gap, not to inflate the sitemap.
