Ultimate Custom Night, challenging your mental strength

         Ultimate Custom Night is a horror game developed and produced by Scott Gogh, a spin-off of the Five Nights in the Teddy Bear's Harem series, which was released on 27 June 2018 for Microsoft Windows.

    Prior to Ultimate Custom Night, six games in the series have been released. The gameplay is largely similar, with the player taking on the role of a night guard, staying inside the house in the middle of the night from a first-person perspective, operating lights, security doors and surveillance systems to ensure the dolls don't invade the player's guardhouse. Ultimate Custom Night, as the name suggests, takes fear and difficulty straight to the top.

    Ultimate Custom Night features a collection of 50 teddy mechanical bears from the previous game. Not only are the core four dolls Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy included, but each character has a different attack style, so players must defend themselves with the corresponding method. In addition, a character named "Dee Dee" will randomly join other characters during the night to increase the difficulty of the night. Players can adjust their difficulty to gain high scores, and with certain scores they can unlock transitions, most of which are of the anime variety. Players can set which dolls to include and even customise the difficulty level of the characters. You can start with the characters you know and gradually increase the difficulty step by step. If you want to take on the highest difficulty, then you can add all the teddy mechanical bears!

    Some gamers have said that author Scott Cawthon is a horror author who got caught up in the game. In fact, he has released several horror novels. I have to admit, the author's horror atmosphere is one that will send chills down the spine of the player. The brightly coloured creepy dolls, combined with the creepy soundtrack and sound effects, create a tense pace that successfully keeps most players hooked.

    Ultimate Custom Night is not only a collection of characters, but also an innovative system of player control. In this game, while controlling doors, surveillance systems and vents, you also have to pay attention to details such as music boxes, generators, ventilation systems and pipes, and air conditioning temperatures. With limited power, it's important to stop moving and keep an eye on everything, even if you're scared. The author knows how to use the contradictions of the human mind to scare people, in the same way that we want to cover our eyes when we get scared watching a horror movie. Players who are afraid of being suddenly startled at any time are more likely to be unusually tense at such times when they have to keep their eyes open.

    The spirit of 'scaring yourself' is fully reflected in the fact that the horror game is customised to be played by the player. Because of its effectiveness, the "Five Nights in the Teddy Bear's Harem" series is also loved by many live action owners. Many gamers have laughed that the series is popular because people like to see the reactions of live action owners.

    It is admirable that the author has hidden countless eggs, plots and puzzles in the series. Even The Game Theorists, a well-known team of egg hunters, exclaims in the film that Ultimate Custom Night has got him stuck and shouts to Scott for more clues. For those interested in the series, you may want to keep an eye out for the author's ingenuity in the game as well.

    Ultimate Custom Night has received an astonishingly 'overwhelmingly positive' review of nearly 100 per cent since its launch, a level that would not be an exaggeration to call it a masterpiece. The reason for this, apart from the fact that it is the ultimate culmination of the series, also has to do with the fact that the game itself is so entertaining (and scary). This game fulfils the desire to throw all the great characters together in one big brawl. Of course, the free download is also a must-play key.
