As if Haunting Melissa wasn't creepy enough, her story continues in Hooked Digital Media's Dark Hearts.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is a blisteringly hard nope-fest that will have you stocking extra underwear as you play. The game is a sequel to the popular Five Nights at Freddy's, and once again you have accepted a meager wage for a terrifying job: night guard at a children's character restaurant.

The old night guard has since moved to the day shift after some strong words with his manager about the characters trying to get into the office to do... things. But hey, the characters have all been upgraded with the latest facial recognition technology, tied into local criminal databases. So what are you complaining about? It's not like they're going to try to dismember you, right? Just stick your Freddy Mask over your face, wave your flash light around, and pray they go away.
