Two Nights In Scratch is a comedy horror fan game series created by Random.

## Gameplay

The games involve you trying to survive two nights at a location that can vary. The player is required to use their camera monitor and a given mechanic to out-smart Scratch Cat and his friends. A plot twist may or may not be introduced to throw off the player.

## Story

### Two Nights In Scratch

Jeremy picks up a job at Scratch's Coding Place, a local children's arcade and party plaza. On his first night, he gets a call from one of his managers, telling him how to work the camera and doors. The main threats for both nights are Scratch Cat and his golden counterpart (Golden Scratch Cat.) If the player dies in-game, they are met with a jumpscare and game over; the game over screen is a newspaper headline that reads, "local nightshift worker at Scratch's Coding Place found dead." with a picture of Jeremy/the player lying dead on the floor.

### Two Nights In Scratch 2

The player is offered a job at a local dine-in restaurant, $200 a week for a simple night shift worker. The player is tasked with keeping an eye on the place using surveillance cameras and keeping a pot of soup boiled. The characters have been reworked and/or changed due to violence acts at the previous location; the characters in question are Scratch Cat, Elly, Shade Cat, and Golden Scratch Cat. If the player dies, they are given the game over screen with yet another newspaper that reads, "Local Dine-In establishment planned to close down by the 31st." presumably because there were deaths that happened there.

### Two Nights In Scratch 3

Golden Scratch Cat has been turned against by his friends. For unknown reasons, he is now the player that needs to survive two nights. Due to the gangs anger towards him, they give him a surprise third night that lasts until 9 AM. If the player succeeds, they are given a ending cutscene that shows all the characters lined up for a roll call; If they die, they are not met with a game over screen.

### Two Nights In Scratch DELUXE

A group of lost teenagers find themselves in an abandoned clubhouse, where they decide to take on a challenge given to them by Scratch Cat and the gang, and they do not actually die when they get jumpscared. When the teens finish the challenge, DJyeets comes for revenge. DJyeets hangs Elly on a rope, throws Shade Cat and Sheriff S off a bridge, and wins in a deadly fight with Scratch Cat. DJyeets forces the teens to play one last night with him and his clones in the clubhouse. If they win, DJyeets gives them the code for Claws Mode; if the player enters the code on the title screen, they get to play a very hard, lengthy night with Scratch Cat's gang, DJyeets, and his clones all at once. Though Scratch Cat's gang is still deceased and cannot play in Claws Mode, DJyeets found their bodies and compressed their organs into animatronic parts, which is the reason the player is able to play Story Mode and Claws Mode a second time. This game marks the death of Scratch Cat and his friends, and the end of the series.

## Trivia

* Two Nights In Scratch 1 was created without intentions for a sequel for full story.
* The game is abbreviated as TNIS, as used by Random.
* In TNIS DELUXE, Golden Scratch Cat did not actually revive, and is just the soul of him calling to the player. This is why his mechanic is different than the other games.
* Random still makes animations for Two Nights In Scratch, even though the series was called off and the games received their last update in June of 2023.
* Random jokingly shared a screenshot of a project named "Two Nights In Scratch 4." Though TNIS 4 will never exist, and is just a joke.
* On May 22, 2023, tyty301455 remixed the first Two Nights In Scratch (1) as "Two Nights In Starch," along with several other projects including Two Nights In Scratch characters and the titular Starch Cat himself. Random liked Starch enough to make him canon.
