Five Nights at Freddy's 2, or fnaf 2, is a survival horror game that expands upon the mechanics of its precursor while incorporating new elements to improve the gameplay experience. A comprehensive examination of the gameplay mechanics is provided below:
Animatronics:

The game includes a combination of new and recurring animatronic characters. Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, Toy Chica, Mangle, and the Puppet are included in the new additions. Players are required to acquire new behaviors and challenges in order to effectively navigate these characters. The game's complexity and reminiscence are further enhanced by the return of characters such as Foxy and Bonnie.
The camera system is a critical component of the game, enabling players to monitor the animatronics' movements by enabling them to alternate between a variety of camera feeds. This system is indispensable for monitoring the location of each animatronic at any given moment, thereby enabling players to anticipate their subsequent actions and formulate them accordingly. Players must frequently inspect the cameras to prevent being caught off guard, as they encompass various areas of the pizzeria.
Freddy Fazbear Mask: The Freddy Fazbear mask is one of the main mechanics introduced in this installment. Players can don the mask to deceive animatronics into believing they are one of them when they approach too closely. This mechanic introduces an additional layer of strategy, as players must promptly don the disguise when an animatronic is in close proximity to prevent being attacked. Timing and rapid reflexes are essential, as the game may be terminated if the disguise is not donned in a timely manner.
Limited Resources: Five Nights at Freddy's 2 necessitates that players manage their time and resources in a distinct manner, as opposed to the initial game, which required them to manage their electricity supply. Although the game lacks a power meter, players must remain vigilant and exercise caution when managing their actions. This entails the sparing use of the lantern to inspect dark areas and the winding up of the music box to deter the Puppet. Effective resource management is essential for the survival of each night.
