== Summary ==

<!--This is the official summary from the [http://store.steampowered.com/app/332800 Steam page], so while some elements are contrary to the guidelines on this wiki, please do not change it.-->

''Welcome back to the new and improved [[Freddy Fazbear's Pizza (FNaF2)|Freddy Fazbear's Pizza]]!''

''In Five Nights at Freddy's 2, the [[Withered Animatronics|old and aging animatronics]] are joined by a [[Toy Animatronics|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 [[Jeremy Fitzgerald|new security guard]] working nights, your job is to [[Monitor|monitor]] cameras and make sure nothing goes wrong after-hours. The previous guard has complained about the characters trying to get into [[The Office (FNaF2)|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.''

== Gameplay ==

Like the first game, ''FNaF 2'' is an indie point-and-click survival horror video game. The player controls Jeremy Fitzgerald, the night guard at the newly revamped Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Like in the first entry, Jeremy must survive from midnight to 6 A.M. without being attacked by the [[Animatronics and Bots|animatronics]] wandering through the building. The game introduces the Toy animatronics as the main antagonists, while the [[Classic Animatronics|Classic animatronics]] from ''FNaF 1'' return as Withered Animatronics - damaged shells of their former selves. This game also introduces two new animatronics, [[The Puppet]] and [[Balloon Boy]].

As in the first game, Jeremy will be located in the security office for the duration of each night. He will have access to a monitor that allows him to scroll through the security cameras and a [[Flashlight|flashlight]] with limited battery that can illuminate rooms being viewed on the cameras. Animatronics will slowly navigate the building and attempt to get into the office, either through the [[Main Hall]] or one of two [[Left Air Vent|air]] [[Right Air Vent|vents]] on either side of the desk - all of which can be illuminated using [[Hall Lights|light]] [[Air Vent Lights|buttons]]. Unlike in ''FNaF 1'', however, the [[Doors|doors]] and [[Power Indicator|power]] mechanics have both been removed, meaning that the player cannot stop animatronics getting inside the office.

Jeremy can put on a Freddy Fazbear head to disguise himself if an animatronic enters the office and evade being attacked - however, this does not work on [[Foxy#Withered Foxy|Withered Foxy]], who must be scared off using the flashlight instead. To prevent the mask from being abused, however, there is a [[Music Box|music box]] in the building's [[Prize Counter]] that slowly winds down over time. The player must frequently open the monitor, flip to the Prize Counter and rewind the music box - if it fully unwinds, the Puppet will escape from its prize box and head towards the office, and like Withered Foxy, it cannot be fooled by the Freddy head. Failure to defend himself from an animatronic (except Balloon Boy, who will instead disable the flashlight) will result in them [[Jumpscares (FNaF2)|jumpscaring]] the player and killing Jeremy, resulting in a game over.

The game's main campaign is split into five levels, or "nights," just like the original game. Beating [[Night 5 (FNaF2)|Night 5]] will unlock an extra-difficult [[Night 6 (FNaF2)|Night 6]], and beating that unlocks a customizable [[Night 7 (FNaF2)|Night 7]] which allows to adjust the difficulty of each animatronic. There are also [[:Category:FNaF2: Minigames|four hidden minigames]] that can randomly occur upon receiving a game over, which allows the player to play as the animatronics in Atari-style levels that give insight on the plot.

For specific information and strategies on each night, look [[:Category:FNaF2: Levels|here]].

''Five Nights at Freddy's 2'' received generally mixed reviews from critics.

Omri Petitte from ''PC Gamer'' gave the game a score of 70 out of 100, commenting that what he wanted in the sequel "was more mind games and more uncertainty. I wanted the plodding animatronic suits to find me and rip my face off in new and interesting ways. I wanted working legs. What I got was a horror game dipping heavily into deception and subtlety, a wonderfully cruel cocktail of supernatural mystery and jolts of panicked adrenaline. Enjoying the good parts, though, comes with a cost of the frustratingly steep difficulty."<ref>[http://www.pcgamer.com/five-nights-at-freddys-2-review/ ''PCGamer's review of Five Nights at Freddy's 2'']</ref>

== History ==

Development on ''Five Nights at Freddy's 2'' presumably began in late-August to early-September 2014. The title would officially be announced on September 12, 2014 with a teaser image on Scott Cawthon's website, [[Scott Games]], depicting [[Freddy Fazbear|Withered Freddy]] with the text "2" and "Grand Reopening."

Something new..." next to the pair.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20140928232206/http://scottgames.com/</ref> The next month, on October 7, Scott Games would once again be updated with a new teaser of [[Foxy]] and his new counterpart, [[Mangle]], peeking out from a purple curtain with their hooks, with a sign containing the number 2 in between them.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20141008043422/http://www.scottgames.com/</ref> A little over a week later, on October 15, a new teaser would be added to Scott Games depicting a first-person perspective from a Freddy mask with Withered Foxy seen in a hallway through the mask's right eye hole. The top of the teaser contained the text "NO PLACE TO RUN, and exactly one place to hide."<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20141016033536/http://www.scottgames.com/</ref> On October 21, ''Five Nights at Freddy's 2'' was uploaded to Steam's now-defunct Steam Greenlight platform for community review<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20141022074242/http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=329921390</ref> along with a trailer that was uploaded to Scott Cawthon's YouTube channel.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVPONdZBh6s</ref> The game was successfully greenlit on Steam Greenlight on October 23, 2014.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20200822075714/http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/updates/329921390/1414108767</ref> The next month, on November 4, Clickteam posted an article interviewing Scott Cawthon, which pushed the release date up to December 2014.<ref>https://www.clickteam.com/clickteam-blog?p=interview-of-the-author-of-a-top-paid-game-in-appstore</ref> Later, on November 9, a new teaser was uploaded to Scott Games, displaying a darkened image with the label "[[Prize Corner|CAM 11]]" at the bottom right next to a red alert icon. When the teaser was brightened, it revealed the [[The Puppet|Puppet]] exiting their music box and a portion of the games [[map]].<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20141112195226/http://www.scottgames.com/</ref>

== Trivia ==

* Coincidentally, the release of ''Five Nights at Freddy's 2'' was 87 days after the release of ''Five Nights at Freddy's''.

** However, nothing related to "87" was in the second game other than the date revealed in Night 5 and Night 6.

* In original mobile versions of ''Five Nights at Freddy's 2'', the Music Box in the Prize Corner can be muted by tapping the location of where the "Mute Call" button is usually located. However, this cannot be done while simultaneously winding the Music Box.

* This is the first game where none of the animatronics have multiple jumpscares.

* The Paper Pals have their own AI level.<ref>https://youtu.be/jAPHNtlJMkc?si=8WdTEx3CoT4lixoQ&t=269</ref>
