Our take on Boogeyman 2
The bounce point arrives when flashlight power becomes scarce: conserving batteries or attempting a recharge becomes part of the threat. Players who want uninterrupted exploration may stop there, while changing weather adds another variable to each night.
What is Boogeyman 2?
Boogeyman 2 begins with a doll warning that a monster has arrived to take the player away.
The player uses a flashlight to search for the Boogeyman before being found. Gameplay centers on watching and listening rather than direct combat. Flashlight batteries have limited life, requiring power conservation or an attempt to recharge them. Weather changes each night and affects how the game is played. The sequel has a separate story from the first game, so the earlier title is not required. Full virtual reality support is available through Oculus Rift CV1 at 90 frames per second, with a listed minimum specification of a GTX 970.
