POPGOES Arcade 2

**POPGOES Arcade 2** is an interactive teaser to POPGOES Reprinted and the second game in the original POPGOES Arcade style. It was announced on April 1st, 2017 and released on April 8th, 2017.

## Story

It's close to the grand opening of Fazbear's Fright and Phone Dude is preparing everything. For now, he's playtesting **Fazbear World: The Phantom Scourge**, an arcade game celebrating the history of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. In the game, a virus has corrupted the kings of four lands and the player as JJ decides to help them. To win, the player has to "beat the curse out of them", defeat all four kings, collect their masks and then fight against The Puppet.

There are six areas in the game - Freddy Forest, Bonnie Burrow, Chica Meadow, Foxy Coast, Puppet's Realm, and Shadow Freddy's Hideout.

There is also a secret ending, where the player can encounter Shadow Freddy. He gives you Shadow Freddy's mask, which allows to find hidden cupcakes and open the entrance, but the ending Phone Dude created was altered.

## Gameplay

POPGOES Arcade 2 is a simple RPG game. It works with the modified mechanics from the first POPGOES Arcade game.

The player can fight all the NPCs (except Balloon Boy and Shadow Freddy) once, and also randomly encounter the phantom versions of the Classic and Toy versions of Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy. During the battle, the player can see his, and enemy's health and attack. If they encounter an animatronic, when having their mask on, they will be asked to answer a trivia question. With the special animatronic, it's required to use a mask of the land, they are in.

The player gains money from defeating the enemies and answering the trivia questions, which they can use to buy the consumable items and stat-ups from Balloon Boy. The maximum stat points are 200 Health and 50 Damage.

The battle is turn-based. The player always starts first. They can either attack the enemy, defend or use an item. The enemy can attack normally or charge a triple power attack. The Puppet has also a special attack, where the player has to choose the correct mask to minimalise the damage.

Before defeating the King of a specific land, there is a corrupted area, where the chance to encounter the Phantoms is bigger.

## Trivia

* The original idea for PA2 revolved around Bonnie Glade's backstory
	+ It was going to be called POPGOES Hystery (History+Mystery) and be a puzzle game where you played as Bonnie Glade on her laptop, talking to Marylin Schmidt about both of their parents' pasts. It had a huge focus on paranormality being an actual, real science in the POPGOES/FNAC universe.
