Players can use flashlights and a few other tools to defend themselves, but they must be careful not to use too much power, or else they will lose. The animatronics will move around the pizzeria at night, and they will attack the player if they get too close. By avoiding animatronics controlled by the ghosts of deceased children, players must survive five nights in the pizzeria. In Five Nights at Freddy's 2, the player controls Jeremy Fitzgerald, the night guard at the recently reopened Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
The game was released for Microsoft Windows, iOS and Android on November 11, 2014. It is the second installment in the Five Nights at Freddy's series and a prequel to the first game. Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is a point-and-click survival horror video game developed and published by Scott Cawthon.
