What it is
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is a single-player survival horror and point-and-click adventure set during night shifts at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. The old animatronics are joined by new characters presented as updated, kid-friendly performers with facial recognition and links to local criminal databases. You play as the night security guard, watching cameras and trying to keep the characters out of the office. The previous guard reported that they attempted to get inside, so the new guard has an empty Freddy Fazbear head intended to fool them if they enter. The premise pairs a family-entertainment setting with the danger of being alone on the night shift. The Steam listing identifies it as an indie game and includes Family Sharing. It was released in 2014 and is listed for Microsoft Windows, with Windows as its Steam platform. Its listed genre also includes point-and-click adventure, alongside survival horror.
