What frightens From 12 to 6 AM you guard a pizzeria under reconstruction while its new mascots grow more erratic; a spotlight shows what is coming down the halls, a mascot head fools intruders but costs you oxygen, the generator can fail and leave you in the dark, and a music box must stay wound for one special animatronic.
Content: jumpscares, loud sounds.

The Return to Freddy's: Winter Wonderland is a free FNAF fan game by Luminance, a reboot of the 2015 fan game The Return to Freddy's 2. As the night guard of a rebranded pizzeria under reconstruction, you survive from 12 to 6 AM with a spotlight, a mascot head, a generator and a music box, then finish a maintenance task after each night.

About The Return to Freddy's: Winter Wonderland

The Return to Freddy's: Winter Wonderland is a reboot of the 2015 fan game The Return to Freddy's 2, made by the team at Luminance and released on Game Jolt for the 2020 holidays, with its main release in 2021. It is a free download for Windows, and the makers also publish its Clickteam Fusion source code.

Fredbear's Family Diner has closed after a tragedy, and Fazbear Entertainment is rebranding and reopening it as Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, with a new set of animatronics in place of the ageing old cast. The building is still under reconstruction, so it needs a night guard. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for death or dismemberment.

From 12 to 6 AM you survive your shift as the mascots behave more and more erratically. A spotlight lets you see down the office halls or disorient whatever tries to enter. A company-provided mascot head fools intruders, but wearing it too long uses up your oxygen. The generator has to be repaired when it breaks down, or the power goes out completely, and a music box keeps a special animatronic happy. After each night comes a maintenance task, and beating the game unlocks two more nights and a reward.

The screenshots show a cramped office with scaffolding, a fan and a drink on the desk, a camera map of the building, and Bonnie and Freddy standing in the dark. It suits fans of the second Five Nights at Freddy's who want its mask-and-music-box tension in a rebuilt fan setting.

How to play The Return to Freddy's: Winter Wonderland

Download the main release free from the Game Jolt page and run it on Windows.
Check the cameras and use the spotlight to watch the office halls.
Put on the mascot head when something gets in, but take it off before your oxygen runs out.
Repair the generator when it fails and keep the music box wound.
Survive until 6 AM, then complete the night's maintenance task.

Watch your oxygen when wearing the mascot head.
Never let the music box run down.
