Popgoes 2 Gameplay speculation: (a Popgoes Prediciton)

The main gameplay of Popgoes 2 has not been revealed yet but given the recent teasers and info on the game I would like to take the time to speculate what the main gameplay would have been. The reveal of sec buttons has only strengthened my belief that I am mostly correct in what the gameplay for Popgoes 2 would be.

The office: The office has a hall to the left and a hall to the right. There would also be a camera system, some of the cameras in the location would have printers, from the cameras you would be able to print out the “toy animatronics’ heads” (toy bonnie, toy chica, mangle, toy freddy, and bb).

The Epitomes: The epitomes would roam the cameras with an ever increasing “aggression” meter. Once the meter rise to 100% they would come to one side of your office. To avoid them you would have to hide on the other side of your office and stay there until they run by. Once they run by the epitomes aggression would lower back to 0% before rising again gradually throughout the night. This sounds easy at first but with multiple epitomes coming at once from both sides you would be done for. You would check the animatronics aggression meter by utilizing sec-buttons which would scan the animatronics and tell you their level of aggression. In order to lower the epitomes aggression meters so two don’t come to you office at once you would have to print out heads of the toys animatronics (to scare them) when the epitome is in the same room as a printer, scaring them would lower their “aggression” meter and keep them from coming to your office for a longer period of time. You MUST print out the correct toy head to its corresponding epitome or the epitomes aggression will only rise higher.

Further epitome speculation: each epitome would probably have unique traits, Popgoes would probably be standard only wandering from camera to camera, Blake would maybe try to shut down your equipment if his aggression is unchecked, Sara and saffron would probably utilize the vents occasionally like the first game, and stone would probably interfere with the camera system again like the first game if his aggression rose too much. Also, I believe that some sort of audio lure may have been planned for the gameplay as you would need to use it to lure an animatronic to a printer if they were in a room that did not have one.

The Heartless: It was already confirmed that the heartless would not be a direct threat to the player and would only make the epitomes more active (this makes sense since the popgoes 1 animatronics never directly attacked the player). I believe the heartless would just “spawn” into the map and wander the area from camera to camera until reaching your office. Once a heartless enters the office it would stay there and you would be unable to get rid of it. Once in the office the heart less’s corresponding epitome would have their aggression meter permanently rise quicker throughout the night. To stop the heartless from getting into your office you would use the audio lure to lure its corresponding epitome into the same room as their heartless counterpart, which would scare away the heartless and “Despawn” them from the map for a while so they do not go into your office.

This is what I came up with the main gameplay for popgoes 2. Some of it may be wrong and I know a lot of it is speculation but this is what makes the most sense for me. I do not know how Simon or the cameos would play into the gameplay if at all.
