Popgoes Encore!

About

Popgoes Encore is a cancelled sequel that never left the concept phase but survives as a playable fan project. Players take on the role of the last survivor in a production studio where fake animatronics have gone haywire. The story picks up after a group of internet theorists built their own versions of the characters to scare an audience, only for these X Animatronics to become possessed and kill the crew. You must survive one single night by running through the warehouse and setting up barricades to hold back the monsters until your solar generator runs out of power. What makes this project stand out is its origin as a scrapped title from 2015 that finally got a playable form thanks to community effort. The atmosphere relies heavily on concept art and unfinished models rather than polished assets, giving it a raw, found-footage feel. Since the original development team never finished coding, this version fills in the gaps with a tight horror loop focused on resource management. It serves as a complete narrative experience despite being built from leftover materials, offering a glimpse into what could have been if the project had launched back then.

Storyline

The game was supposed to take place one or two years after the POPGOES: Silent Night. A group of people interested in the mysterious events that happened in The Popgoes Pizzeria and Freddy Fazbear's Pizza creates an internet forum, where they theorise about these events, often coming to the false conclusions, just to keep the story going. They decide to create a movie in a warehouse, they changed into a Production Studio, based on their fake stories. They create their own versions of the Popgoes' and Freddy's animatronics, X Animatronics. They weren't accurate, they were malformed, designed to scare the audience. Later, Popgoes Encore and Freddy Encore were possessed by Fritz Glade and Mike Schmidt Jr.. They killed every worker, and stuffed them in the animatronic, they were working on, except the player. Now, he has to survive the single night, and run from the Production Studio, when everything is over. To survive, he needs to create barricades that will stop the animatronics until they use all the power from the solar powered generator.
