Game-play deviates from the previous games in the series slightly, with the player once again tasked with defending themselves from a malfunctioning animatronic during the night shift, this time at a local amusement park. Players must monitor two camera systems and three subsystems; audio (used to lure the animatronic away from the player's office), cameras (used to ovserve and track the animatronic), and ventilation (which must be kept running to avoid seeing hallucinations during the player's shift.) The subsystems can fail periodically and must be rebooted to avoid undesirable effects. Between levels the player is able to play minigames as the animatronics from the first game, with hints scattered around the levels to find additional content, if they can be deciphered by the player, as they are left deliberately vague.
