Boogeyman 2 contains examples of: Bait-and-Switch: On the second night, the door opens. At first you think it's the Boogeyman, but it turns out to be your dog. Bittersweet Ending: You survive against the Boogeyman, but it's hinted that he got to your brother. Bogeyman: Just like the original, the antagonist of the game is the boogeyman. Comeback Mechanic: While in the first game, you had to check under your bed for more batteries (which was dangerous, since there was a chance the boogeyman would be there), in this one, if your flashlight runs out of juice, you can place the batteries in the charger beside the bed. Controllable Helplessness: No light? Best hope you're close to dawn, otherwise you're the Boogeyman's. Creepy Doll: The girl's doll just sits in its perpetually rocking chair, and every night warns you of the boogeyman. Creepy Good: The doll is clearly on your side, otherwise it wouldn't bother to tell you about the danger that you're in each night. Creepy Long Fingers: The boogeyman sports them. Heroic Dog: Some nights, your dog will spend the night with you, and start barking to warn you when the boogeyman is close by. Horror Doesn't Settle for Simple Tuesday: It's revealed that the Boogeyman can only attack on the week of Halloween. Immobile Player Character: Just like the last game, mostly. You can move around the room before you start the game proper. Jumpscare: Like the last game, this is how you die in the game. Kid Hero No Name Given: Unlike Thomas from the original, the protagonist of this game is never named. Offscreen Teleportation: Just like in the last game, the boogeyman can warp to any of the five entryways in the house at any time. Pink Is Feminine: The walls of the girl's room are pink. Sequel Escalation: The first game gave the boogeyman four ways to enter the Player Character's room. This game features a fifth, a small tent in one of the other corners. Ten-Second Flashlight: Just like the previous game, you need to be conservative with how long you leave your flashlight on to be able to survive the night. Weakened by the Light: Just like the last game, the boogeyman will immediately retreat when light is shined upon it. You Don't Look Like You: The Boogeyman looks a bit different from in the first game. For one thing, he's now wearing a trenchcoat, whereas before he was naked.
