Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is a first-person horror game where you go back to working at the famous Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, where some pleasant robots entertain the little kids during meals. The problem is that these robots behave rather strangely during the night.

Your job consists of keeping an eye on Freddy and his friends during the night through the security cameras. That said, because of a budgeting problem, you'll have a limited amount of electricity that you can use each night, and if you run out, well, you'll be at the mercy of Freddy and his friends, which in the second part are more numerous and aggressive than ever.

The controls in Five Nights at Freddy's 2 are very simple: at any moment you can close the room's security doors to protect yourself, although this consumes a lot of electricity. You can also switch security cameras, which consumes a bit less energy.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is a horror game that despite its rather abnormal premise manages to give more than one good fright. In the free trial, you'll only be able to play the first night, but that should be more than enough to get a taste of the terror and shocks awaiting you in the full game.

Gameplay

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is a survival horror video game where the player takes on the role of a security guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, a fictional family entertainment center. The player's goal is to survive five nights while being stalked by a group of possessed animatronics, including Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, and the new Toy animatronics: Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, Toy Chica, and Mangle.

The player has access to a limited set of tools to defend themselves, including a flashlight, a mask, and a music box. The flashlight can be used to temporarily stun the animatronics, while the mask can be used to hide from them. The music box must be wound up periodically to prevent the Puppet from attacking.

Story

The game takes place in 1987, shortly after the events of the first game. The player character, Jeremy Fitzgerald, is hired as a security guard at the newly reopened Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. However, the pizzeria has been plagued by a series of mysterious disappearances, and Jeremy soon learns that the animatronics are not as friendly as they seem.

As the nights progress, Jeremy begins to experience hallucinations and nightmares, and he starts to suspect that something sinister is happening at the pizzeria. He eventually discovers that the animatronics are possessed by the spirits of five children who were murdered by a serial killer named William Afton.

Gameplay Mechanics

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 introduces several new gameplay mechanics that were not present in the first game. These include:

* The Toy animatronics: The Toy animatronics are more aggressive than the original animatronics, and they can move around the pizzeria more quickly. They also have unique abilities, such as Toy Freddy's ability to teleport and Toy Bonnie's ability to crawl through vents.

* The Puppet: The Puppet is a new animatronic that appears in the Prize Corner. If the Puppet is not kept wound up with a music box, it will attack the player.

* The ventilation system: The ventilation system can be used to slow down the animatronics' movements. However, the player must be careful not to use the ventilation system too much, as it can overheat and cause the animatronics to become even more aggressive.

Reception

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 was met with positive reviews from critics. The game was praised for its improved gameplay, its creepy atmosphere, and its clever use of jump scares. The game was also a commercial success, selling over 10 million copies worldwide.
