Five Nights at Wario's: Cabin Fever is a series of games made by Developer EpicTagey. Set in the FnaWniverse (a series of Five Nights at Wario's fangames from different timelines merging together), the story talks about the Pianissima family, dealing with various monsters hunting them.

The original game, released in 2022, sees the player take the role of Katie Pianissima, a girl with a talent of music that was lured inside a cabin. The little girl must fend off the monsters by using her musical talent, utilizing a flute.

The second game, also released in 2022, sees instead the father of Katie, Carlos (or Carl) Pianissima, a father who lost his daughter and wife, being forced to fend off againts a demonic invasion from different universes. Following major disappointment from the community and consequent Creator Backlash, Tagey removed the game (but later reuploaded it), stating that he would've remade the entire game from the ground up, using the consequent reputation of the game as a lesson for future games.

In 2023, Tagey released a demo for the remake of Chapter 2, titled Cabin Fever: The End, set as the true canonical ending of the FnaWniverse as a whole, with full version releasing a year after on Valentine's Day. The game is completely reworked from the ground up, now utilizing a gimmick based around moving through rooms while checking the cameras at the same time, on top of also utilizing a character swap system with Katie joining you from the third hour onwards.

The full version of The End includes a lot of bonus content on top of the main game, such as a recode of Chapter 2 (labeled as "Classic mode" and being deemed non-canon) with help by fellow developer Raytheree, a secondary gamemode inspired by FNaW 4, some secret extra unlockables, and an endgame quest, requiring Chapter 1 and FNaW: High Rollers to be played.

Despite Tagey still owning the FnaWniverse label, The End is gonna be the last game he's gonna work as the main developer, with Raytheree taking his place for future projects (Tagey will still assist the development).

The first game can be downloaded here, while The End can be downloaded here.

A remaster of the first game, set to fix a bunch of problems and to change a bunch of features, is still being developed, and can be viewed here.

     Cabin Fever 
     Cabin Fever Chapter 2/Classic Mode 
  • Downer Ending: After learning about Katie’s death, Carlos is left alone.
  • Killed Offscreen: Katie is revealed to be dead following the last hour of the game.
     Cabin Fever: The End 
  • Adaptational Alternate Ending: Instead of Carl defeating The Spider and later being left alone like the original story, this time around is Katie fighting and defeating The Giant. Eventually, some Gods request Katie help to find a way to stop the invasion. However things don’t go to plan and the Fake Devolper reigns supreme and captures Carl.
  • Adaptation Deviation: Compared to Chapter 2, a lot is changed to be less cliché and more interesting.
    • Katie appears during the third hour as an amnesiac ghost instead of being completely dead and being confirmed as such via an extra level. She also ends up being a second character the player needs to control alongside Carl.
    • There are now new God-like entities who need help in order to reset the universe and "defeat" the fake developer.
    • A majority of the monsters have been completely changed, in order to fit the new gimmicks. For the fans of the original monsters, they return in the Endgame quest as a result of getting reutilized as a last ditch effort by The Fake Dev.
  • Adaptation Name Change: Carlos in this game is sometimes shortened as Carl.
  • Big Bad: In this timeline, there's now a real threat, being The Fake Developer (the fake identity of Dry Wario), an entity who tries to imitate Tagey likings, but as a result he ends up becoming a dark and twisted version of him.
  • Disc-One Final Boss: The Giant seems to be the final threat of the game but then The Fake Developer takes center stage in the later canon modes.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: After all the hell father and daughter go through, they’re finally able to live happily after defeating Dry Wario.
  • Mythology Gag: In Custom Night, there's a Nostalgia Filter option that will turn every monster into their counterparts from the original Five Nights at Wario's, utilizing the same exact jumpscares (except for Peach, as she's over The Infected, a character that doesn't technically have one).
    • When this option is toggled on, the background of the custom night and the extras will be replaced with the original image of Wario and Waluigi inside the factory.
  • You Are Already Dead: If the breaker goes out there’s nothing you can do but wait for your death by Slammer.
