One Night at Flumpty’s 2 is a vast improvement over the original.

In Flumpty’s 2 the characters don’t kill you outright. Instead, they peak into your room and your exposure meter increases. If it reaches max, you die. To stop it from increasing, you have to monitor where the characters are on the cameras to see if they are about to enter your room. If they are about to enter, you turn off your lights so they can’t see you when they peek into the room. That prevents the exposure meter from increasing. It’s a unique gameplay style I haven’t seen done in a fnaf fangame before.

It would be too easy if you only needed to stare at characters on the cameras. So, some of them have things that spice things up. The Owl, for example, attacks you from the vents. If you don’t close the vent door when it flies through, it’ll instantly kill you. There’s also Gunkfuss The Clown, who appears in your room after the timer on his camera goes to 0. So you need to check the camera’s timer to turn off the lights at the precise moment. These mechanics combined create an intense gameplay loop of constantly checking what every character is doing to survive. I enjoyed how the game focuses more on the cameras than most other fnaf-styled games. The camera’s are usually an afterthought, so it’s nice to see it getting some well-deserved focus. Overall the gameplay is a lot of fun!

The art style is also gorgeous. I love how the environments are drawn in a 2D art style. It gives the game a unique vibe I haven’t seen before in a fnaf game. It’s not scary, but I don’t think it’s trying to be.

The music is fantastic. The music track that plays during the night is oddly relaxing, which got me into the zone when I was playing.

Overall Flumpty’s 2 is a vast improvement over the original. In my opinion, skip the original and jump straight into the sequel. It's way better and more original.
