FNAF Ultimate Custom Night is indeed the Ultimate Custom Night because you can customize all
the ways to make you hate yourself.
But don’t worry.
Rack up enough of those sweet, sweet points and too you can behold the majesty of FNAF
anime.
It’s the thing nobody asked for but everybody needed.
I think.
Regardless this game is everything we could have ever wanted.
It gives me the dance-inducing, euphoric rush that only comes from enduring cancer and getting
to the bottom of that gnawing, unsolved mystery.
FNAF Ultimate Custom Night is a beautiful combination of nuggets to solve said mystery,
chaotic noise meant to throw us off the scent of the truth, and ...we’ll call it bold
artistic expression.
However.
Underneath the surface of this kaleidoscope of things and stuff is something... quite
rock solid.
A BEDROCK SO FOUNDATIONAL IT HAS HELD UP THE COLLECTIVE CONVERSATION ABOUinterestingT THE
EVER-PUZZLING FNAFSTERY.
That’s a word that means FNAF mystery.
I made it up.
It’s pretty clever.
BUT THAT’S NOT WHAT’S IMPORTANT.
FNAF ULTIMATE CUSTOM NIGHT IS THE ULTIMATE CUSTOM NIGHT FOR A REASON.
A reason that will blow your brain through your eyeballs and make you question everything
you’ve ever thought.
About FNAF.
In our last video I speculated that the character we play as during UCN is in fact William Afton.
And he’s clearly stuck in some kind of never-ending, terrible purgatory.
There are just too many ridiculously obvious voice lines from animatronics that point to
this.
During a nightmare Marionette jumpscare we get the line, “This is a nightmare you won’t
wake from.
This time… death cannot save you.”
Then we’ve got nightmare freddy who says, “I am remade but not by you.
By the one you should not have killed.
No light can save you now.
I have always been hiding in your shadow.
What a gift to relish...a victim that can’t perish...I am given flesh to be your tormentor.”
So if we’re to take nightmare freddy seriously...and he seems like a pretty serious guy...
Then not only can the character we’re playing as not die...no matter how many times the
animatronics eat his face off, but also there’s also someone...someone he should not have
killed.
Now the popular consensus buzzing ‘round youtube is that we play as William Afton during
UCN and this who game is some kind of creepy, terrible, endless hellish purgatory.
William is reliving the terror he caused others over and over and over and over and over and
over and over again.
That’s a lot of overs people.
THIS STUFF IS CRAZY.
SO PREPARE YOURSELF...FOR THE STORY OF THE ONE WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN KILLED.
FOR THE STORY OF WILLIAM AFTON’S HAUNTING SECRET FOR WHICH HE WILL BE PUNISHED FOR ALL
ETERNITY.
THIS IS THE STORY OF FNAF ULTIMATE CUSTOM NIGHT...the story...you never knew.
So then.
We’ve got some uncovering to do don’t we?
You see, the more I look into it the more I realize the importance of…”the one you
shouldn’t have killed.”
And no gentle viewer I’m not talking about the one YOU shouldn’t have killed but rather
the one...William Afton shouldn’t have killed.
In case that wasn’t obvious.
Indeed time and time again this mysterious person is thrown into our eardrums by animatronic
voice lines.
There’s Nightmare Freddy yes but then there’s Withered Chica, Jack-o-Chica, Mangle, and
plenty of others who all chime in to tell dear William that this guy he totally shouldn’t
have murdered was one step too far.
It’s pretty spoopy stuff.
AND I’M HERE TO UNCOVER IT ALL.
So let’s do that.
What’s interesting is knowing how many lives William Afton has ended.
The idea that there’s one he shouldn’t have killed is a little odd.
We’re supposed to believe things were all fine and dandy until one particular person
got murdered?
Seems a little weird until the connection is made that William is trapped here in purgatory
because of that person.
This one who should not have been killed is somehow responsible for William Afton’s
eternal torment.
SO WHO IS THIS PERSON??
And how did they manage to trap their murderer outside of time and space to be in agony forever?
Those two questions are of vital importance so let’s dive into them.
Since I’m a chronological kind of guy let’s tackle the first question.
Who IS the one Will shouldn’t have killed?
Well.
Clearly it’s someone who feels particularly wronged by our legendary antagonist.
In order to figure out who caused all this let’s look at what we know.
One cornerstone of UCN is Golden Freddy.
After getting a high enough score we’re given this mysterious cutscene of Golden Freddy
spazzing out.
My takeaway from this is there’s clearly a restless soul still trapped in this horrible,
horrible suit.
Or at least...there was.
You see, good ol’ GF fades away into the distant darkness which could mean that this
soul is no longer trapped.
You know...symbolism!
On top of that, Golden Freddy has always felt like an important animatronic.
He was the original incarnation of freddy fazbear, he has spooky paranormal powers like
being able to appear from nowhere and haunt your mind, and other cool stuff!
AGAIN I SAY!
This animatronic is important.
And so surely it’s no coincidence that in what’s supposedly the final FNAF game we
get a cutscene with him and AND this minigame.
If you go through the proper motions you can unlock the Old Man Consequences minigame.
OMC was originally a forgettable character in FNAF World but now...he’s anything but
forgettable.
In this red-tinted minigame...Old Man Consequences fishes in a secluded pond and when golden
freddy talks to him we’re given the line “Come and sit with me a while.
Leave the demon to his demons.
Rest your own soul.
There is nothing else.”
Then the only way to “beat” the minigame is to drown in the pond.
While this is happening a strange whirring sound can be heard.
Speeding this up we hear
Hmmmmm.
Now many have speculated as to what this voice is saying.
The popular consensus is something along the lines of…”I hate Mike”.
Is this the voice of William saying “I hate Mike”?
Maybe.
Honestly I’m getting flashbacks to Ghost Adventures where they try to find words out
of meaningless noise and while I do love Zak Bagans I’m more of a hard evidence kind
of guy.
Fact is...these words are incomprehensible.
What isn’t incomprehensible, however, is that whoever is saying this line sounds like
they’re in horrible agony.
And considering golden freddy is featured in this scene I’m gonna guess this is Golden
Freddy’s voice...crying out during the crisis of death.
The same crisis of death also represented when he fades into the darkness and the background
while twitching uncontrollably in agony.
If there’s anything to learn from OMC’s minigame and Golden Freddy’s cutscene it’s
that whatever soul was trapped in this world in the vessel named Golden Freddy is now free
to pass on...to the same place William passed on to!
You know...the proverbial “other side”.
We know William died at the end of FNAF 6 thanks to Henry’s fiery master plan.
And we know that every animatronic died as well...except for...golden freddy...who was
surprisingly absent from that game.
So I believe we’re witnessing this golden animatronic finally joining the others in
death thanks to Old Man Consequences and his sweet pond.
This was the final happening needed to set William’s hell in motion.
You could say Old Man Consequences...is ready to deal out some consequences.
To William.
Anyway in trying to answer our first question of “who is the one William shouldn’t have
killed” I accidentally answered our second question of how exactly did this person trap
William in a hellish purgatory?
The answer is that thanks to Old Man Consequences and his mysterious death-giving powers Golden
Freddy was able to take his bizarre, semi-omnipotent self to the otherside and begin crafting William’s
hell.
If you still don’t believe that GF is the king-poobah behind Ultimate Custom Night then
why is he the one shown after beating the game?
Why is he the only animatronic to be half material half ghost?
Indeed if anyone was going to haunt William forever...it would be this guy.
So that answers that...AND it’s now safe to say that the soul inside of Golden Freddy
was the one William shouldn’t have killed.
Nothing says “you messed up” more than doing something that causes someone to make
you to suffer for all eternity.
Shoun’ta done that.
Naturally, from here the next logical step is to find out who Golden Freddy is.
Or rather...who is in Golden Freddy.
What soul has haunted him for so long?
In a recent video of ours we got the name Cassidy.
But let’s rewind a little bit.
To give some context, the answer can be found back in FNAF 4.
Recall that we witness the crying child get his head caved in by the GF himself.
This implies a connection between Golden Freddy and the crying child.
The crying child being...Michael Afton.
Then immediately after we see fredbear aka golden freddy saying he will put Michael back
together.
Then all the other animatronics disappear one by one until it’s just these two.
Which I take as a poetic way of saying Michael’s soul absorbed into Golden Freddy.
So case closed right?
Michael Afton is Golden Freddy who is the one running the show that is William’s hell
and therefore is also the one William shouldn’t have killed!
Hooray!
That was easy BUT WAIT.
We know FNAF 4’s gameplay consisted of a hospitalized child seeing nightmares.
Which means Michael survived the bite...at least for a while.
Maybe.
AND thanks to the FNAF Survival Logbook we know the spirit inside Golden Freddy is named
Cassidy.
I even made a video on it!
We get this from the word search where the name Cassidy is found by using a series of
keys.
Using these keys to uncover one letter at a time we eventually spell out the name Cassidy.
And also in this wordsearch is the phrase “It’s me.”
Which golden freddy totally says.
BAM!
Cassidy is Golden Freddy.
BUT THAT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE WITH MICHAEL BEING GOLDEN FREDDY.
Or does it?
In MatPat’s latest FNAF video he brought up the idea of Michael being a super realistic
android animatronic created by William to replace his son.
This explains how Michael was able to survive the scooping in sister location and why he
was able to hold down a job in FNAF 1 despite having been the victim of this bite.
Makes sense.
He was recreated as a super invincible android!
So then what if the gameplay in FNAF 4...the gameplay that consists of a child experiencing
nightmares with hospital equipment around...what if this isn’t showing Michael during his
recovery from having his frontal lobe taken out...what if this is Michael after being
re-animated because he effin DIED.
Michael lost his life and his original name...Cassidy.
Which is usually a girl’s name.
But it can also be a boys name.
And Scott likes to make things needlessly confusing.
And hey I had a lady geometry teacher in high school named Ryan anything’s possible!
Indeed Cassidy Afton died that day, fused into Golden Freddy and then he was “rebuilt”
in android form and renamed Michael.
This new mechanical body was then infused with that super cool lifeforce called remnant.
And thanks to the remnant taken from Cassidy and put into this android...Michael is still
haunted by nightmares experienced by Cassidy.
Including surreal visions of familiar animatronics and hospital equipment from when doctors likely
tried to save Cassidy’s life but to no avail.
We even see Cassidy’s spirit trying to communicate with Michael through questions in the Survival
Logbook.
Questions like “What do you remember?”
and “Do you remember your name?”
Cassidy also says things through the Logbook that only he would know like how his favorite
toy used to be a purple phone.
The same one from fnaf 4.
All this in an attempt to remind Michael of who he really is.
We even get this creepy, mysterious face occasionally during game over screens.
My guess is this is our deceased lad Cassidy staring back at us.
The only hole in this whole theory is that Cassidy was found in the newest FNAF book
and she was revealed to be a girl.
However.
We know the books are an alternative timeline...a timeline so alternative that golden freddy
is some dude named michael brooks, and fritz and susie are still alive whereas in the game
they’re dead, and also there’s all those twisted animatronics that aren’t even in
the games at all.
So really...Cassidy being a girl in the books just isn’t a big deal!
And all of that...gives answers to the mystery.
We now know the identity of the one who should not have been killed.
He was a boy named Cassidy.
Cassidy Afton.
And rather than rest his soul (as recommended by old man consequences) Cassidy decided to
bring his vengeance and weird Golden Freddy powers to the other side and (with the help
of the other souls who were also freed by death) make William will relive the terror
of death over and over and over and over again.
Sure a happy ending would be all the kids who were murdered just moving on and forgetting
about all this and not getting revenge for all eternity but hey FNAF was never about
positivity.
That’s the understatement of the century.
And...that’s the story of William’s wickedness going one step too far.
The story of Five Nights at Freddy’s Ultimate Custom Night.
The story...you never knew.
And...that’s make take on Ultimate Custom Night.
