Five Nights at Wario's: Cabin Fever Chapter 2, commonly referred to as just Chapter 2, was a point-and-click survival horror game added to the base Cabin Fever game and was the finale to the FNaWniverse series. Chapter 2 was removed, however was reuploaded on November 13, 2022.

## Description

### A number of the game's characters and story are no longer canon.

Chapter 2 revolves around an unseen entity named The Fake Developer, the same one who lured Katie to the cabin in the first part. This entity uses the power of Katie's melody to lure in entities from multiple universes via portals, and use their souls to create combined creatures and cause havoc. The largest creation, the Giant, is responsible for a large amount of the damage. The player controls Katie's father, Carlos, and must survive 5 hours.

The gameplay involved watching security cameras and moving a shelf infront of the door. Certain entities will cause a noise meter to go up if not dealt with, and other entities can kill you themselves. The noise meter hitting full results in death. Chapter 2 introduced antagonists not seen before or often in FNaW, those being Birdo and Nabbit.

The end of the game involves the "Real Developer" approaching Carlos, thanking him for giving enough time, and proceeds to reset everything back to before the cabin incident.

Chapter 2 was taken down mere hours after it was uploaded. It remained unavailable for a few months, and was reuploaded to the Cabin Fever game page on November 13th.

## Reason for Removal

Multiple factors resulted in the removal of the game.

1. Unhappiness through the community. Players described the game as broken, confusing, lazy, and disappointing.
2. Regret from the developer. The developer himself, EpicTagey, admits the game took 2 months instead of the 6 month window between Chapter 1 and 2. He seemed heavily embarrassed by the game as well, due to the fact the game was taken down just hours after uploading. The original Cabin Fever was also taken down, but shortly brought back up. Tagey even asked YouTube creators not to create videos on the game, though some went on to do so regardless.
3. Unhappiness through the developer team. Tagey's team themselves show disdain towards the game as well, mainly after uploading.
4. Chapter 2 did not feel like a true ending or something worth waiting months for, and instead felt like an add-on that should've been including with the primary release. The ending was also cliche and anti-climactic, while also not making sense. Even if the game was improved upon, polished, and tweaked, it still wouldn't be enough.
5. From the character designs, rushed ending, and gameplay itself, Chapter 2 was all in all incredibly lazy.

## Reupload

The Chapter 2 update would be reuploaded on November 13, 2022, despite it's numerous poor qualities and being disliked by the developer and team.

Tagey revealed multiple reasons why the game was reuploaded:

1. Players already had access to the game after the removal via sharing websites such as MediaFire.
2. Cabin Fever 2: The End is nearing completion.
3. Self-reflection. Tagey states he felt bad about the game at first, but has moved on and reuploaded the game to serve as something to look back on to see how future games have improved.
4. Though Tagey and the team dislike Chapter 2, Tagey admits there are some features in the game that he still enjoys, such as some character designs and mechanics.
5. Chapter 2 is still a part of Tagey's history.

## The End

After the disastrous release of Chapter 2, EpicTagey vowed he would learn from his mistakes. Currently, Cabin Fever 2: The End is in development. The End plans to give the players a true ending, better characters, and much more gameplay. New team members have been introduced to assist with the game.

Progress on The End has reportedly been very successful and regarded very positively by the development team. EpicTagey has promised to users that the game is already everything Chapter 2 should've been and may even be his best game of all time. Progress is going fast due to the work speed of Tagey and his team, though they are not attempting to rush.

A 2 Night Demo was released for The End which showed positive reception from players.

## Trivia

1. A majority of the Chapter 2 enemies having "The" in their name was inspired by games like Left 4 Dead, where special enemies also had it in their names.
2. Tagey admits Chapter 2 was even worse than Custom Room Edition, his first FNaW game ever made that was heavily trimmed down upon release and very clunky. Though with Custom Room Edition, something good came out of it, which was Tagey's development team. Just like with CRE, something good came out of Chapter 2, that being it led to development of Cabin Fever 2: The End.
3. Chapter 2 is very often compared to another FNaF fan game by the name of Post-Shift 2, which also performed poorly on release date.
