## About Ultimate Custom Night

Ultimate Custom Night is a free-to-play single-player horror strategy game developed by Scott Cawthon, released in 2018. Players manage animatronic AI behaviors through door and vent controls while navigating custom difficulty sliders to shape their experience. The game features progression gates and nightmarish repetition across its massive scope, presenting a brutal challenge that reviewers describe as stressful, tense, and unsettling. Players highlight the mashup of every animatronic from the franchise appearing in one title, with the 50/20 mode standing as a final epilogue that challenges them one last time. The grinding session shape rewards persistence, and players describe the experience as contemplative despite its intensity. The title holds a 95% positive rating from over 31,000 Steam reviews and is not supported on Steam Deck.
