I don't think I can give Ultimate Custom Night a rating. It is a best of compilation that exists to push masochists to their absolute limits. It isn't a Five Nights at Freddy's game as much as it is a bragging right, which I can respect.

I would explain how the game operates but I had to watch a four hour long playlist of explanations of each individual mechanic to reliably make it to 1:00 AM. I don't know where this falls in the Five Nights at Freddy's narrative (And to be honest, I'm terrified of looking up any story past Sister Location), but this game is my own personal Hell. Every issue I have with each individual Five Nights at Freddy's game is accounted for made exponentially worse by the fact this game requires 100% concentration to play (Which if you require me to be sober and not listen to random Spotify playlists when playing a game as simple as Five Nights at Freddy's, you've pushed me to my absolute limit).

Ultimate Custom Night lives up to its name because if you do not care, then you'll move on. I mean, most people have better things to do than put 119 hours in a video game to say you beat it (That's just my Steam time, I tried on PlayStation but stopped after seeing the control list and feeling like I'd have an easier time learning how to play "Tommy the Cat" by Primus with a missing arm). This game is terribly designed and it revels in that fact. It knows its audience and who is going to be playing it and it earns respect for that. The game is fucking brutal and asks you for its undivided attention because you can't brute force this game.

I enjoyed my time... but if you ever make me play this game again, the screams of the voices of the damned will be heard from across the world.

Rating: ???
Genre(s): Point and click adventure, rage game
