What it means

Our interpretation.

The second instruction changes the meaning of the first. What begins like a simple act of kindness becomes an unsettling suggestion that objects and living identities can be joined. The spare imperative language lets the player perform the sequence before understanding its implications.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2014) presents these as successive instructions in the Give Gifts, Give Life death minigame. The player controls the Puppet, first distributing gifts and then placing animatronic masks on four small figures. The page combines the two screen prompts in their familiar title form; they are instructions on screen, not spoken dialogue from a named character.
