Five Nights At Freddy's Wiki

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is the successor to Five Nights at Freddy's. It was submitted to Steam Greenlight on October 21, 2014. The demo was released on November 10, 2014, with the full game being released on the same date. An Android port was released on November 13th, and an iOS port was released on November 20th.

The game itself is a prequel-sequel, meaning that it is a sequel, but it is chronologically a prequel as it takes place before the events of the first game. The player is a different security guard known as Jeremy Fitzgerald. The Custom Night has him replaced with Fritz Smith.

This installment features new animatronics which are Toy Chica, Toy Bonnie, Toy Freddy, Balloon Boy, Mangle, and The Puppet (If not including you). The animatronics from the first Five Nights at Freddy's also make a return.

Summary

"Welcome back to the new and improved Freddy Fazbear's Pizza!

In Five Nights at Freddy's 2, the old and aging animatronics are joined by a new cast of characters. They are kid-friendly, updated with the latest in facial recognition technology, tied into local criminal databases, and promise to put on a safe and entertaining show for kids and grown-ups alike!

What could go wrong?

As the new security guard working nights, your job is to monitor cameras and make sure nothing goes wrong after-hours. The previous guard has complained about the characters trying to get into the office (he has since been moved to day-shift). So to make your job easier, you've been provided with your very own empty Freddy Fazbear head, which should fool the animatronic characters into leaving you alone if they should accidentally enter your office.

As always, Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for death or dismemberment."

Reception

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 received generally mixed to positive reviews. Many critics mentioned the game difficulty increase over the first game as mentioned by Nic Rowen of Destructoid when he said that "...Five Nights [at Freddy's] 2 is too hard for its own good. Dying can become such a frequent and recurring event that it becomes exhausting rather than exhilarating"; he gave the game a 7/10.

New Features

The second game introduces seven new characters: three toys, Balloon Boy, Puppet, and Mangle. It shows us the Freddy mask, camera lights, the flashlight, and the music box. Also it gives us an introduction to Purple Guy in all the minigames.

New Game Mechanics

The second game now allows the use of a Freddy Mask upon clicking a red button that will put it on. The Camera also comes back as the white button right beside the Freddy Mask. It also brings back the lights. As now they have a main hall light, and the Left Air Vent and Right Air Vent as a button is above them. In addition, to lights now on the cameras you can use the light upon clicking the screen. The last and newest mechanic is a winding of a music box to keep The Puppet from coming out.
