Story
Three months have gone by since the events of the first game. Rick is still suffering from his guilt of being unable to save Jennifer and has been plagued by nightmares of her and the Terror Mask, which reformed after breaking at the climax of the first game. Suddenly, the mask reappears to Rick and tempts him to find the house, telling him that Jennifer can be saved. It closes by telling Rick that it will give him power. Rick succeeds in rescuing Jennifer, and the House sinks into the bottom of the river.

Rick's health is indicated by hearts on the bottom of the screen. He loses a heart when he takes damage from an enemy and loses a life when he runs out of hearts. The Japanese version has a limited number of continues for when the player runs out of lives; the overseas versions have a password system.
