Fnaf Rewritten 87 is a fan-made remake of the second game in the Five Nights at Freddy’s series, built with the goal of refining and reimagining the experience while keeping its original structure. Set in the year 1987, the story centers on Jeremy Fitzgerald, a newly hired night guard at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. Players are tasked with surviving nightly shifts by managing threats from malfunctioning animatronics using limited tools. The game keeps its horror elements intact while improving design, animations, and the flow of gameplay.
Security Tools and Gameplay Systems
The core gameplay is built around observation and reaction. Players use a camera system to track animatronic movement throughout the building. When the characters approach the office, the player must respond quickly using specific tools. A Freddy mask tricks some animatronics into leaving, while a flashlight wards off others. On top of this, the music box for the Puppet must be kept active, and new mechanics such as power disruptions and breaker resets increase the level of attention required.
Key Gameplay Elements
Fnaf Rewritten 87 includes several important systems:
· Camera monitoring to observe animatronic routes
· Mask and flashlight usage depending on the enemy
· Music box management to prevent Puppet attacks
· Breaker system to fix sudden power failures
· Progression with new characters introduced each night
Each system must be balanced during the six-hour shift, with increasing difficulty as more animatronics become active and behavior patterns change over time.
Storytelling and Unlockables
The game expands the original story with added cutscenes and hidden events that provide more background to the location and its characters. Players can uncover extra details through mini-games between shifts, revealing incidents involving missing children, staff members, and unexplained events tied to the pizzeria’s history. These moments give context to the nightly threats and connect to other characters in the series, offering fans a deeper look into the timeline surrounding the infamous Bite of 1987.
Fnaf Rewritten 87 manages to keep the atmosphere and pacing of the original while introducing improvements that make the gameplay smoother and more immersive. Its combination of familiar mechanics and new narrative pieces creates a version of the game that feels both respectful and fresh. For fans of the series, it serves as both a tribute and an update, giving the second entry in the franchise a new way to be experienced.
