History NightmareFuel / UltimateCustomNight

Don't let the "fact" that [[CanonDiscontinuity this game is non-canon]] lure you into a false sense of security, since it's ''nothing'' like [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysWorld the previous non-canon spin-off]]. While there may be no more lore revelations, the game is still jampacked with more animatronics than ever before; drawn from every corner of the series such as the creepy Classics, the broken down Withereds and the enigmatic Springtrap just to name a ''select'' few, combined with a large plethora of positively mortifying mechanics only befitting this franchise, and bone-chilling secrets and {{Easter Egg}}s that will strike the player to their very core, JumpScare or otherwise. With all of this included and even more, the aptly named ''Ultimate Custom Night'' perfectly lives up to its role as the end of [=FNaF=] games.

[[folder:Post-release -- Animatronic mechanics]]

* Toy Bonnie and Toy Chica attack you through a pair of hitherto-unmentioned trapdoors, Toy Bonnie from the right and Toy Chica from the left. As Scott himself points out, there is no way to stop either of them from entering your office; and the only way you can prevent them from attacking you is by immediately putting on [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2 a Freddy Fazbear mask]] and looking at them to convince them you're an animatronic. Of course, if this is anything like ''[=FNAF2=]'', the mask will also obscure your visibility and prevent you from doing other crucial tasks...
* One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is the note Scott added to the top of his post shortly after he added Springtrap, Molten Freddy, and Ennard. What is this note? Well, it just clarifies how the vents and ducts work...which wouldn't be too bad if it weren't for the fact that, according to said note, ''there are no vent or duct cameras, and instead the vent and duct systems rely on sensors like the system in the main game.'' Yeah, this ''may'' complicate things...
* Jack O' Chica has been added! And what does she do? Why, ''appear at both doors at once, of course!'' Apparently closing either of the doors individually won't have an effect, and instead you'll need to check on Jack O' Chica using the hallway cameras. When she fully materializes, you'll have to close both doors at once to get rid of her. [[HopeSpot Thankfully, Jack O' Chica only appears when the office starts to overheat...]] so hope and pray that the Mediocre Melodies aren't out for your blood, because if they are... well, ''someone's'' going to [[JumpScare get you.]]
* The big man (or bear) himself, Freddy, has been added in. He comes out of the left hall (as he does when the power goes out in ''1''), emerging from the dark in stages (which means that he may regain his EvilLaugh), and while the player can close him out...''he will not stop coming through the hallway'', especially if the temperature is hot, in which ''he'll just go in faster.'' Mistime clicking the door button or end up forgetting about him, and your night at Freddy's is '''[[JumpScare done]]'''.

* Lefty sits in the closet off of the left hallway. He becomes more and more agitated if the office becomes too noisy or too hot, until [[JumpScare eventually...]] Lowering the noise won't reverse the effects, nor will reducing the temperature, [[OhCrap and doors won't prevent Lefty from getting to you]]. The only way to ease his temperament is to switch on the Global Music Box, which soothes all music box animatronics... at the expense of extra power being drained.
** Also, the mere existence of the Global Music Box implies that ''there are more animatronics that can only be stopped by the music box.'' As if the Puppet wasn't enough...

* What Scraptrap's mechanic lacks in complexity, it more than makes up for in scares. Sure, [[HopeSpot he only attacks once per night]], but you have [[ParanoiaFuel no way of knowing when that's going to happen]], [[NothingIsScarier if at all]]. When he attacks from the right vent, your only warning will be a loud noise from the corner and a flickering of the lights; you'll then have only '''a fraction of a second''' to close the vent door before Scraptrap [[JumpScare gets you]]. Oh, and even if you block him in time, you'd better hope that Music Man hasn't gotten too close to you, or else that clattering sound might just push him over the top...

* The Trash Animatronics were posted the same day as Rockstar Freddy, and their mechanic is... [[TheUnreveal three question marks]]. [[NothingIsScarier What the hell are these things going to do?]]

** Mangle's voicebox is...well, mangled, leading to a hazy, high-pitched voice that, [[BrickJoke if you listen carefully, has both male and female voices]].

* The [=FNaF 3=]-inspired office is still creepy as one would expect. Phantom Chica staring at you from one of the arcade machines, and Springtrap looming in the darkness of a window in the background, implied to be a hallucination since he's ''still'' there whether you have him selected or not.

* The final cutscene of the game opens up on a blank screen with eerie music playing in the background. after a few seconds, Golden Freddy will appear on the screen in his [[BookEnds iconic]] ''[[BookEnds FNAF 1]]'' [[BookEnds pose]], only this time, ''he's twitching uncontrollably''. Then it just ends. No words. No fanfare. Not even a JumpScare. Just... ''[[NothingIsScarier nothing]].''

** There is also another theory. Remember that William Afton wore a Golden costume to kill the five children in the first and second game. That final cutscene could be what is going on with William while he's trapped in a hell of his own making. One layer has him facing animatronics...and another layer has him contained in the ''same costume he wore to lure those children. Twitching in agony as he's dragged into the darkness. '''Forever.'''''

* One of the secret animatronics that Dee Dee (or Xor) can summon is Nightmare Chica. You'll know she's active when ''rows of razor sharp teeth close in from the top and bottom of the screen'' until the entire screen is blocked out. By the time you know she's there it's too late; you're in her grasp. And what's worse: Nightmare Chica's mechanics, like for all the animatronics that Dee Dee summons, are not explained, yet nobody's quite pinned down her behavior yet. Her jaws just close in on you out of nowhere and ''you have no idea how to get out.''[[note]]Using the Power A/C drives her off, but it's unintuitive, meaning that you ''will'' get chomped the first few times you see those jaws.[[/note]]

* Sometimes when Happy Frog, Nedd Bear or Orvile Elephant kill you, they will speak in extremely out-of-character lines with a child's voice echoing over them — often saying a variation of "This is what you deserve for what you did. I will never let you leave." On their own the quotes just ''drop'' their happy-go-lucky tones and sound really sinister, but together with the child's face that keeps appearing and the "one you should not have killed" lines, it's implied that Afton isn't exactly in Hell, but is being tormented by one of his victims — a restless, powerful, and '''''royally pissed off''''' child ghost. One of Orville's lines more or less confirms this to be the case — referencing the ending of ''FNAF 6'' and establishing that whatever has Afton trapped, it's going to torture him in perpetuity for as long as it's able.

** But perhaps most of all... why do the Melodies say this? One would expect quotes like these to come from Freddy and co, the original generation. But only Foxy speaks out of the five, the rest are silent. So why is it just these three random, just-introduced animatronics? How many people did Afton kill, again?

* While the idea that this is William Afton's Hell, or pseudo-Hell (if not the actual one) brought on by the Vengeful Spirit is nightmare fuel, let's consider the idea that the children who inhabited the Animatronics, and maybe even the animatronics might ''also'' be in this hell as well! Many of the animatronic quotes imply the suits being sentient or the spirits are in there with him and killing him over and over. It's no so far of a stretch to consider this.
** The Animatronics were made from the get go to murder people, but they were also shown to have a sort of Sentience as well, if Baby and the garbled message in [=FNaF=] 1 of how metal can achieve sentience is of any indication. More than a few of the [=FNaF=] 1 and 2 Animatronics have supposedly killed the Night Guards (the Phone Guy for sure), Springtrap was possibly used by William Afton (and in turn, DID kill Afton), Golden Freddy accidentally kills the Child, the Sister Location animatronics did murder two technitians and technically Eggs Benedict. The Nightmare fuel (and partially tearjerker) is the factor that most of the Animatronics were doing what they were programmed to do. They didn't have any agency or ability to decide otherwise, and yet they were sent to Hell as well for things they couldn't help.
** The Children were notably enraged at being murdered, and the factor that the animatronics were made with remnant, which acts as a fetter that can hold dead souls, makes them the perfect vehicles of their vengeance. However, they went after the Night Guards rather than the one who actually killed them. They took misplaced retributive justice, and have killed just as much, if not more than William Afton ever did. The nightmare fuel (and just as possibly tearjerky) is that these kids shortsighted actions have caused them to enter Hell for eternity. No seeing their loved ones, no heaven, [[EsotericHappyEnding the image of their gravestones on a sunny day only a sweet illusion covering their true fate]]. Oh, and [[KarmicTransformation they're now stuck in the form of the very animatronics they were trapped within while haunting the earth]]. Baby's quotes in particular, who in [=FNaF=] 6 wanted to be a killer like her father, showcase that she (or rather, William Afton's daughter) is at least in the same place. Though at the very least, they'll be able to deliver their vengeance towards William Afton, who is also in the same place...
---> '''Baby''': (''In a somber voice'') Oh... I guess you forgot about me.

Then it just ends. No words. No fanfare. ''[[NothingIsScarier Nothing.]]''

* Toy Freddy sits in the Parts and Service room playing ''[[GameWithinAGame Five Nights With Mr. Hugs]]'' on a TV. The problem is that if Toy Freddy loses his game, [[SoreLoser he will blame YOU for it]]. In ''Five Nights With Mr. Hugs'', there are three ways into the office, and only one door can be closed at a time. Click the cams on Toy Freddy's monitor, then be sure that the appropriate door is closed to prevent Mr. Hugs from getting into his office. If you check on Toy Freddy and see GAME OVER on his screen, that means that Mr. Hugs has already jumpscared him, and now Toy Freddy is on his way to JumpScare ''you''. Once Toy Freddy has been jumpscared, [[YouAreAlreadyDead there will be no way to calm him down, and no way to save yourself.]]

** All of the voiced Nightmares have the standard sort of demonic reverb added to their lines. Nightmare Freddy is a deep CreepyMonotone, Jack-O-Chica is a crackly reverberated voice, Nightmare Fredbear has [[VoiceOfTheLegion a multi-layered voice]], while Nightmare and Nightmarionne have [[GutturalGrowler voices so deep it's like they came from Hell itself]]. And Nightmarionne's voice is glitch too!

** The Puppet's voice is a little girl's. Creepy as hell.

** But perhaps most of all...why do the Melodies say this? One would expect quotes like these to come from Freddy and co, the original generation.

** Another equally frightening possibility is that Golden Freddy represents 'The one [you] should not have killed'. Since it's been accepted that the game is the child spirit punishing William Afton for all eternity, the ending can be seen as this child refusing to move on, instead choosing to keep Afton in torment indefinitely. Notice that Golden Freddy's eyes are ''still'' lit up as he disappears into the dark, signifying that the child still remains. There's no happy ending to be found here, no neat resolution. Just a murdered child, utterly consumed by hate and vengeance, vanishing into the darkness to endlessly torture the man who killed him forever. Not that Afton doesn't deserve it, but ''brrr....''
** Then again, one can potentially interpret the sight of Golden Freddy vanishing into the darkness as the kid finally growing satisfied with his torment and ascending. Of course, this means Afton will have to go down and have some tea with Old Scratch himself.

[[folder:Post-Release Info]]

* [[https://steamcommunity.com/games/738060/announcements/detail/2698097983460171459 In response]] to Dawko, Scott has let something slip: [[TheReveal there may possibly be a]] '''''[[UpToEleven 51]]'''''/20 mode.

** On June 7th, it's finally revealed to be '''[[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysWorld Dee Dee]]''' of all characters. Her mechanic is revealed to ''appear at any time without warning,'' '''add a new character to attack you''', and '''''set it at an unknown difficulty.''''' Yes, there's a new [[MemeticMutation Enragement Child]] in town, and she somehow outdid all the others combined! Even worse, Scott confirmed on Reddit that she'll make 50/20 mode '''''[[UpToEleven even more difficult!]]'''''

* Remember how much of a problem [[KidsAreCruel Balloon Boy]] was in [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2 the second game]]? Well, meet his pal JJ, who is ''[[UpToEleven even worse]]''. Balloon Boy and JJ both enter your office through the side vent, and you have to lock it before they get in; if you aren't quick enough, or don't notice them... well, Balloon Boy will just temporarily disable your flashlight, but JJ will '''disable all door controls''' until she decides to leave.

* Phantom Mangle will appear at random in the viewing monitor; if the player doesn't quickly close the monitor or switch viewing modes to make it disappear, it will "invade your office temporarily, causing audio distractions and increasing your noise meter". This doesn't ''sound'' so bad... until you consider that the "noise meter" is probably in reference to ''Music Man'', who will undoubtedly start approaching you as soon as Phantom Mangle sets foot in the office.
* Mangle. Holy shit, ''Mangle''. Mangle also crawls around in your vents, but unlike the other vent animatronics, [[AmbiguousGender he/she]] ''doesn't'' get dissuaded by a locked grate; instead, he/she waits right at the grate until you open it back up, then enters the office immediately. If it gets in, it [[YouAreAlreadyDead hangs around on the ceiling for a little while]] before jumpscaring you; it also creates audio distortions while doing so, meaning that if Mangle doesn't get you, Music Man definitely will. The only way to keep it from getting in is with something called a "vent snare", which can only be active on one vent at a time; and since Mangle is capable of moving between '''both''' vents, this forces the player to keep a ''very'' close eye on Mangle's location at all times. Oh, and you know how Withered Chica can sometimes get stuck in the front vent, preventing Springtrap, Ennard, or Molten Freddy from getting in? Well, guess what? ''Mangle can slip right by her with no problem.''

* Fredbear has been [[https://youtu.be/o3eaVCTN9yM?t=1m56s found]] in-game, and he proves to be '''''fucking terrifying.''''' Activated by Golden Freddy being set to 1 and then using the Death Coin on him, he is the single animatronic who you cannot fight against; you will be killed by him instantly. While all of the other animatronics utilize a screech from their own respective games, Fredbear has a unique one. His scream is by far the most violent out of the series, sounding like a feral machine breaking all hell loose, and his animation is just as rapid as the others, if not moreso; overall, he proves to be one of the scariest elements in the entire game. And, when the game over screen appears, you can hear BlackSpeech or an EvilLaugh. Even if he is the one animatronic who must purposely be triggered, Fredbear proves to be one of, if not the scariest of the lot.

** The Children were notably enraged at being murdered, and the factor that the animatronics were made with remnant, which acts as a fetter that can hold dead souls, makes them the perfect vehicles of their vengeance. However, they went after the Night Guards rather than the one who actually killed them. They took misplaced retributive justice, and have killed just as much, if not more than William Afton ever did. The nightmare fuel (and just as possibly tearjerky) is that these kids shortsighted actions have caused them to enter Hell for eternity. No seeing their loved ones, no heaven, [[HappyEndingOverride the image of their gravestones on a sunny day only a sweet illusion covering their true fate]]. Oh, and [[KarmicTransformation they're now stuck in the form of the very animatronics they were trapped within while haunting the earth]]. Baby's quotes in particular, who in [=FNaF=] 6 wanted to be a killer like her father, showcase that she (or rather, William Afton's daughter) is at least in the same place. Though at the very least, they'll be able to deliver their vengeance towards William Afton, who is also in the same place...

** What's worse is that there's an EasterEgg related to Old Man Consequences - set his AI to 1 and do the minigame - where you return to his pond from [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysWorld FNaF World]], where he says the following; as he says this, you can hear a loud metal droning sound that, when sped up, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19WGPavLa6s becomes]] ''[[https://www.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/8uf3g4/theres_sound_of_a_man_screaming_something_in_the/ robotic screaming]]'' that many are theorizing is [[DyingDeclarationOfHate William cursing Michael and Henry's names]], and crying out for help that will never come.[[note]]Although the audio is muffled, one can barely make out Mike and William's names along with screams of "I HAAAAAAATE!"[[/note]]

* Two months after the release of ''VideoGame/FreddyFazbearsPizzeriaSimulator'', Scott gave the fans a decision what to pick — an endless tycoon mode, or a Custom Night. The latter was the winning choice[[note]]although the tycoon mode will still be added later[[/note]], and it has been confirmed that the mode will feature not ten, but ''[[FourIsDeath forty]]'' — no, wait... actually '''''[[HolyShitQuotient fifty]]''''' ''animatronics, all of which come from both this game and the previous five!'' The roster includes: [[TheBusCameBack the original Freddy's crew from the first game]] (including Golden Freddy in his ''[=FNAF2=]'' incarnation); two withered animatronics not counting Golden Freddy; the Toy animatronics; three Phantoms; '''eight''' Nightmare animatronics; Ballora and Funtime Foxy; the Puppet, Nightmarionne ''and'' Lefty; several of the purchasable animatronics from ''[=FNAF6=]'', including [[UncannyValley the Music Man]]; and ''not one, but '''[[FromBadToWorse BOTH]]''' versions of Baby, Ennard,'' '''''and Springtrap'''''. One can only imagine what would happen in a mode where every single one of those things wants you dead. There appears to even be ''{{Evil Former Friend}}s'' in the roster, since it includes Helpy and Phone Guy. And it even includes [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysWorld Old Man Consequences.]] [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer We do not jest.]] [[ParanoiaFuel And that's just who he's telling us is appearing.]] '''''Pray for your lives.'''''
