Summary[]
Rebuilt. Enhanced. Upgraded.
We brought joy to many, but that was long ago.
Broken. Fractured. Damaged.
In the end, we ended up where we came from.
Gameplay[]
The gameplay of Five Nights at Candy's 2 takes place at Rowboatics Corp. Factory.
Throughout the night, withered animatronics will try to attack you. You have access to the camera panel, which can be used to protect yourself and view the cameras. You can use your cellphone to flash the hallway in the office, revealing the long corridor in front of you. If you spot an animatronic throughout the hallway, you must use the phones in the cameras by pressing one of the phone icons. If you use a phone for too long, animatronics in the same room as the phone will temporarily disable it.
One of the animatronics, Withered Chester (or the The Cat), will use the ventilation systems to get to you. If you hear a loud banging noise, you must find the camera where Chester is and ring the phone to startle him, making him leave.
To win, you must survive from 12AM to 6AM. After successfully surviving a night, an after-night minigame will play, revealing some of the story.
