A fully customizable survival horror challenge
Ultimate Custom Night, developed by Scott Cawthon, delivers a challenging survival experience set in an office where players must fend off killer animatronics. The game offers extensive customization options and a demanding gameplay loop centered on resource management, quick decision-making, and defensive strategy.
As a standalone entry within the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise, it brings together a wide variety of characters from across the series. Rather than focusing on a traditional story campaign, the game centers primarily on gameplay-driven challenges. Players must carefully manage tools and office entry points while defending against animatronic attacks under increasingly intense conditions. Moreover, the game is completely free, providing full access to all its content without restrictions.
Players can adjust the difficulty of all 50 selectable animatronic characters, setting each from 0 to 20. This system allows users to customize the experience to their preferred level of challenge, from manageable encounters to intense survival scenarios. Alongside 16 themed preset challenges and unlockable office skins, the game offers strong replay value.
Creating your own custom night
Core gameplay centers on managing multiple office entry points—two side doors, two vents, and two air hoses—all of which lead directly into the office. Players must also operate a variety of defensive tools, including a global music box, heater, air conditioner (A/C), power generator, and laser traps set in the vents.
During each session, players collect Faz-Coins, which can be spent at the prize counter for helpful items. Monitoring two Pirate Cove curtains adds another layer of multitasking, increasing the strategic depth of the survival experience.
