Garten of Banban 2 refines the formula into a compelling horror puzzle adventure that prioritizes thematic depth and unsettling atmosphere over cheap jump scares. The game utilizes its claustrophobic new setting—the labyrinthine sectors of the underground facility—to create an overwhelming sense of systemic corruption. Players are constantly reminded that they are trapped in a perverse testing ground, not a kindergarten.

The heart of this horror puzzle adventure is the expanded functionality of the drone, which acts as the player's primary tool for solving environmental hazards. Navigating the drone through narrow vents and past monstrous foes to activate key systems is central to progression, making every puzzle a test of risk assessment and timing. Success is not just about finding the right item; it’s about flawlessly executing the multi-step process needed to open the next sector.

The introduction of new antagonists, such as the disturbing Slow Seline and the erratic Baby Opila Birds, creates engaging new puzzle types beyond simple key-card hunts. This diverse menagerie of monsters forces players to constantly adapt their strategies, requiring them to engage in everything from stealth and avoidance to rapid-fire target practice in a frantic attempt to survive. This constant strategic switching keeps the tension high.

This creepy adventure game significantly expands the lore, rewarding observant players who dedicate time to reading the scattered notes and tapes. These fragments detail the sinister experiments and the origins of the mascots, satisfying the segment of the audience invested in uncovering the truth behind the seemingly innocent franchise. The game finally starts to deliver on the dark promise of its premise.

Garten of Banban 2 offers a uniquely challenging and rewarding experience for those who appreciate high-stakes psychological puzzles interwoven with creature evasion. It is a necessary purchase to witness the terrifying scope of the underground facility and follow the dark, evolving narrative of the mascots. Don't fall behind; the secrets of Banban's Kindergarten are waiting to be uncovered in this deep horror puzzle adventure.

How to Play?

Step 1: Start the game and select “New Game.” You begin inside Banban’s Kindergarten, stepping into the role of a parent searching for your missing child.

Step 2: Use the on-screen joystick to move around. Interact with glowing objects — these can be notes, switches, or locked doors that need activation.

Step 3: Call your drone using its icon. Aim it toward highlighted buttons or targets to open doors, unlock puzzles, and reach spots you can’t access.

Step 4: Solve puzzles to advance through the rooms. They might involve colors, sequences, or keycards hidden around the environment. Most clues are in plain sight — check walls, desks, or notes.

Step 5: Be alert for the creatures. They appear unexpectedly and usually signal danger. If one starts chasing you, follow the signs or open pathways quickly to escape.

Step 6: Gather key items such as colored keycards, batteries, or small tools. They’re often placed on shelves, inside boxes, or in corners.

Step 7: Use audio cues wisely. Unusual sounds — footsteps, mechanical hums, or distant knocks — can help you anticipate movement or threats nearby.

Step 8: Keep exploring until you uncover all the hidden areas. The game has no combat; your survival depends on solving puzzles and staying alert.
