Gameplay

The gameplay is very similar to 123 Slaughter Me Street, where the basic gameplay model had been first introduced. In the game, the player must navigate and escape the abandoned building by reaching the end of the hallway and scaring the puppets with the flashlight in side-scrolling style; the apartment has 13 difficult floors, unlike its original game. After reaching the end of certain floors, the player must go up against the Nightmare, who serves as a recurring boss in the game. In addition, the last floor includes a house-like bonus floor in which the player must go through to reach the end of the floor, while the Follower is still chasing the player.

Unlike its original game, the flashlight does not have an infinite battery life; instead, it has a meter and four batteries. If it runs out of battery, the player becomes vulnerable to attack. Although, the player can collect a battery after battling the Nightmare. Whenever the player fails after losing all the battery lives, they will be placed in an area with The Nightmare flying above them, who gives one battery and a strike.

Once the player completes the game, they will unlock a store and additional money. In the store, the player can buy items such as "Follower Mitts" or the "Devil Nose". Beating the game a certain amount of times will unlock other items such as: Shades, a hockey Mask, a Greeter mask, a Waiter mask, a Follower mask, and the Ultimate SMS Fan costume and more additional money.
