The Walten Files 2, also known as Relocate Project, is the second episode of Martin Walls’ analog horror series. It is not a conventional video game and contains no controllable character, combat, puzzles, or interactive levels. Instead, viewers follow a compilation of fictional training tapes, company recordings, and found footage connected to Bunny Smiles Incorporated and the closed Bon’s Burgers restaurant.
Story and Setting
The story takes place mainly in 1978, several years after Bon’s Burgers was closed. Bunny Smiles Incorporated plans to restore its damaged animatronic performers and reopen the restaurant through the Relocate Project. The machines are stored inside the K-9 facility, where disturbing recordings suggest that the official explanation for the restaurant’s closure is incomplete.
Tape Structure
The episode functions as a sequence of four sections rather than traditional game levels. Each tape provides new information about the company, its animatronics, and the employees involved in the relocation attempt.
The episode contains:
- a company presentation explaining the Relocate Project;
- instructions for reprogramming Banny’s facial expressions;
- a technical support and orientation tape for K-9 caretakers;
- found footage recorded by three Bunny Smiles technicians.
The final section follows Hilary, Ashley, and Kevin as they spend three days inside the storage facility. Their attempts to repair Bon, Banny, Sha, and Boozoo fail because the animatronics are severely damaged. Ashley later uses a small key to enter the restricted Backdoors area, where she discovers unused equipment, strange characters, the Billy animatronic, and a cassette containing several names.
How to Experience the Episode
Because The Walten Files 2 is an analog horror video, there are no keyboard or movement controls beyond standard playback functions. Viewers should watch the tapes in order and pay attention to distorted frames, altered voices, dates, background images, written instructions, and brief visual interruptions. Pausing or replaying individual scenes can help reveal hidden details. The episode continues the mystery introduced in The Walten Files 1, so watching the first installment provides context about Bunny Smiles Incorporated, Jack Walten, Felix Kranken, Bon, and the K-9 facility. Its ending also establishes information that becomes important in later parts of the series.
