History VideoGame / Kindergarten2

''Kindergarten 2'' picks up where the [[{{VideoGame/Kindergarten}} previous game]] left off. It's finally Tuesday, and you've been moved to an all-new school, with a larger number of classmates to befriend and/or kill, and more ways to die if you're not careful. It was released in June 2019. Like the first game, it was developed by Con Man Games and [=SmashGames=], with the latter also being the publisher.

* MatureWorkChildProtagonists: Sequel to ''VideoGame/{{Kindergarten}}'' with the same child protagonist along with more students, school staff, and ways to die.

!!This game provides examples of:

* AchievementMockery: If you decide not to microwave a cat after being asked one more time if you want to microwave said cat. The [[BreakingTheFourthWall player character will say you get an achievement]] for avoiding such a monstrous action. Your character also mention that you won't get an achievement if you actually microwave a cat.
* AndYourRewardIsClothes: A hidden collectible in the game similar to the Monstermon cards. Do certain tasks or complete certain missions to win outfits and hairstyles for the player character.

** There's a lot less guesswork and memorisation required involving what order things will happen in while in the same area, due to helpful labeling of the apples. If there's a character's face on it, it means that something major will happen with that character once that apple is consumed, ranging from the character leaving the area to being killed/killing someone else. Speaking of being killed, there's also a variety of apple which has a skull and crossbones, such as when in a room with toxic gas. [[TheManyDeathsOfYou It doesn't take Dr. Danner to figure out what happens when that apple's used up.]]

** Cindy dies from [[spoiler:sticking a fork in the outlet in "The Hitman's Potty Guard"]].

** Buggs is able to die [[spoiler:by being strangled by Ms. Applegate in "Creature Feature" or getting shot by Penny in "Opposites Attract". Also, if you press the red button during "Creature Feature" when trying to get Bugg's knife back, Buggs also gets shot with you]].
** Bob can (and has to be) killed by the other janitor [[spoiler:in "A Tale of Two Janitors"]].

* AppealToForce: The Janitor beats Stevie up for getting in the player's way while doing his errands. He sets the example for the other hall monitor to allow the player to come and go subsequently.

* ChekhovsBoomerang: During the final route: [[spoiler:You give Nugget the drill during lunchtime in order to break into the teachers' lounge, and he comes back at the end to save you from the mutated principal using it.]]

* DaycareNightmare: Kindergarten is still this, in spite of the new principal's insistence that "Safety is our highest priority!"

** When he says no talking in study hall, that includes [[ShmuckBait answering any questions he asks you]].

* EyeScream: Almost all of the laser guns at this school seem to have the odd property of aiming for the eye...
* FalseRapeAccusation: Subverted. Cindy tries to pull this like she did last game, but Ms. Applegate cuts her off.

* FoodFight: Buggs starts one in the missions "Opposites Attract" and "Things That Go Boom".

** In "The Hitman's Potty Guard", she tasks Ted with doing this to one of the new girls if he wants to be her boyfriend, much like she does to the player in the first game. He reluctantly does so to Carla, leading to some complications when he and the player need her help later in the mission.
** In "Creature Feature", Cindy agrees to help with the player's plan to [[spoiler:kill off the teaching faculty]] if he does this to Penny. Since [[spoiler:Penny makes no fuss whatsoever about it due to being remote-controlled into not retaliating by the protagonist]], Cindy calls it the most disappointing gumming ever, but still keeps her promise.
* HolidayMode: The outfit you get from [[spoiler:the calendar in the principal's office]] changes depending on the time of year. For example, summer has an Uncle Sam outfit for the Fourth of July, while October has a pumpkin outfit for Halloween.
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: In the secret route of [[spoiler:"Cain's not Able"]], Buggs takes offense to being called fat, but not to being called a street rat. He clarifies that he's cool with people (or at least Ted) mocking his poverty, just not his weight.
* IgnoringBySinging: Cindy does this in "Breaking Sad" after the player gives her a fake gem to get her out of the way.

* InsultFriendlyFire: Felix does this to ''himself'' if you talk to him during the food fight in "Things That Go Boom". He says that Ted is defending him with "his fat head", only for the player to point out that since they're twins, that would mean Felix has a fat head too.
* JetPack: Dr. Danner uses one to leave the school when [[spoiler:Penny is decapitated by the magnet]], knowing that he will be fired [[spoiler:or whatever the consequences are should the principal find that [[YouHaveFailedMe he has failed her]]]].
* LoveLetter: Cindy tasks the player with delivering one to Felix to ask him to be her boyfriend in "Flowers for Diana". Aside from some [[MistakenForGay initial awkwardness]] between Felix and the player character, it goes a lot better than Nugget's attempt in the last game.

* MutagenicGoo: [[spoiler:The principal has a vat full of it in her secret lab. She falls into it thanks to the protagonist, and emerges as a monster bent to kill him, Lily, and Billy.]]
* NobodyHereButUsBirds: Parodied in "Creature Feature". [[spoiler:Billy does this as a signal to Carla, only for her to point out how little sense it makes given that they're in the cafeteria at the time.]]

* OntologicalInertia: Played with as a somewhat minor detail. The time loop is stable, repeating the same Tuesday with all the events the same and your actions dictating the precise outcomes, but some things you bring with you will be mysteriously misplaced in a loop you enter with them in your inventory. Case in point: Miss Applegate’s faculty remote [[spoiler: for Penny]], which you receive from helping her and Monty in “Breaking Sad,” is missing when you commence “Creature Feature” with the plushie (from “If You Can Dodge a Nugget,”) laser-enhanced explosive device (from “Things That Go Boom,”) and the aforementioned remote.

* PrisonRiot: Sorta, [[spoiler:everyone's not trying to escape. In the last mission, you end up recruiting students to kill off both the teachers and rescue the 3 missing students. Dr. Danner gets blown up while you stab Ms. Applegate, who's about to murder Buggs. The principal hides in the secret lab waiting to kill off you, Billy, and Lily. Too bad she didn't expect [[DynamicEntry Nugget to come through the ceiling of the lab]].]]

* ScaryStingingSwarm: There's a beehive hanging precariously from a branch in the school's playground. You have the option of shaking the tree [[spoiler:and getting Penny stung by bees]].
* SiblingMurder: In the appropriately named mission "Cain's not Able", [[spoiler:Felix calls upon the player's help to realise his plan of murdering his twin brother Ted. Unless, of course, you would rather reverse the roles by informing Ted about the plan.]]
* SicklyGreenGlow: There's a vat of ''something'' glowing green in the janitor closet, and at some point it begins to emit thick fumes. When that happens, taking more than one apple-consuming action while inside the room ''will'' kill you.

** With a bit of a playful TakeThat: The developers apparently saw [[WebVideo/GameTheory Matpat's]] video on the subject of how many nuggets would be needed to survive the fall into the Nugget Cave, because now there are even fewer nuggets to cushion the fall, and there is a message that, while some theorize it should be bigger, apparently it's enough.

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Adding to all the kiddie murder you could've done in the last game, now you can [[spoiler:microwave a live cat]].
* VirtualPaperDoll: The player can use the wardrobe to give the main character the hair and outfits of different characters, and mix and match the two as they please. As a rule of thumb, you unlock a character's outfit by killing them.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In "Creature Feature", [[spoiler:the principal tells Margaret to make off with her research for its preservation. The latter isn't seen at any point after, and it's unknown if she ever reached the UndergroundBase and succeeded with her sister's demands.]]
* WhatTheHellPlayer: If you get a cat from Agnes, then you actually get the option to microwave it in the teacher's lounge. If you choose to do that, your player character [[BreakingTheFourthWall will call you out on how sick such a thing is while pointing out that there is no reward for doing it]]. If you go through with it anyway, he then decides to just [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere end the day early]].

!!Tropes exclusive to the Monstermon Card Series:
* AttackBackfire: When certain cards are played against another card, the damage goes back to the attacker.
* MutualDisadvantage: Yellow cards can block purple cards, and vice versa.
* ShoutOut: The Monstermon cards have multiple shoutouts to pop-culture.
** Dune Worm is a shoutout to the Sandworms from ''Franchise/{{Dune}}''.
** Dank Magician, Mystical Tomato, and Pot of Grease are ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' card shoutouts.
** Legendary Sword is clearly the Master Sword from the ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series. The way you get it is a reference to the Lost Woods puzzle that has appeared in multiple games from the franchise.
** Monstrous Flytrap is based on Audrey II from ''Film/LittleShopOfHorrors''.
** The Lonely Dragon looks strikingly like a Charizard from ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''.
* TacticalRockPaperScissors: Not counting cards that reduce damage by just 1, red cards may intercept green cards, green cards may intercept blue cards, and blue cards may intercept red cards.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In "Creature Feature", [[spoiler:the principal tells Margaret to make off with the research for its preservation. She isn't seen at any point after, and it's unknown if she ever reached the UndergroundBase and succeeded with her sister's demands]].
