Story
At the start of the chapter, the title of the chapter will be displayed on the screen. Strange whistling sounds can be heard.

The player wakes up in a long hallway with two corners. Two doors can be seen before the end of the hallway: One is locked, and the other leads to a high ground with a glass isolator that isolates the higher ground with the lower ground. The lower ground has a corridor on the left side, The Decal Monster is standing in front of it. If you flick a light switch, The Decal Monster lurks in the dark corridor but still can be seen by the player. Unlike the Smiling Man, the Decal Monster can go into the light. For example, he creeps past in a maze before the Stranger breaks out.

At the end of the hallway there is a door, and behind the door, a junction. Writing can be seen on the wall, one is very scribbly and the other is tidy. The content of the writing is: "I KNOW THEY HAVE SEEN THE BASEMENT. Yes, we already got the first guy, now we just need to get the other." The player wonders "Could they be looking for me?" The left door is blocked. The right door leads to a mini maze. After taking a few turns, Decal Monster will briefly appear and disappear.

The exit of the maze leads to a huge hallway, approximately 10 times a player in height and 20 times in width. This is where the monster, The Stranger, makes his first and only appearance in the whole game (Save for Chapter 6 in extras). A wall breaks and The Stranger busts out and chases the player. After the player reaches the end of the hallway, the monster falls into a deep hole. As the player continues, the entrance is blocked off.

After a number of time, the player finds a button, and presses it. The button activates an alarm. The player shouts "I NEED TO HIDE." and hides in the locker. The lights go out. Note that opening the locker door during the blackout will cause death. After the lights flicker on again, a door which wasn't there before with a sign that says "EXIT" appears. The player enters it and a loud noise plays.

The player is teleported back to the house. The footprints, the window covers and everything that was there before is now gone. The player says "I guess it was all a bad dream." And goes to bed. Chapter 2 ends and Chapter 3 starts.
