FNF: Dead Air
FNF: Dead Air Overview
FNF: Dead Air (also known as dead air) is a horror mod for Friday Night Funkin', inspired by creepypasta stories, haunted websites, and creepy internet folklore. The mod brings a creepy atmosphere through six main tracks (plus one hidden track) that immerse players in a digital nightmare.
Under the creative direction of vladosikos17, the project features contributions from programmers, composers, artists, and animators—including staticfyre, data5, Out_Mance, Sandi_019, Lock_Trap_LT, Jim, Triki Troy, Icey131, TacoGSucks, Infry, Gavinn, and pappo.
How to Play FNF: Dead Air
Dead Air essentially retains the familiar rhythm mechanics of FNF—you press the arrow keys to the beat of the music—but with a twist designed to incorporate horror elements. Expect creepy sound effects, glitches, sudden changes in background images, and jump scares to be incorporated into each song. These elements are meant to cause distraction and panic, testing both your rhythm and composure.
Each song—Under the Tree, Comatose, Fancy Island, Big Eater, Shelter, and Remembered—takes inspiration from various internet horror themes like haunted websites, Minecraft creepypastas, and deep-web myths, adding to the creepy atmosphere.
A few tips to help you play FNF: Dead Air better
- Focus, don't panic: The distorted and creepy visuals are designed to distract you. Pay attention to the arrows and rely on muscle memory.
- Pay attention to the audio: Many horror elements disrupt visual cues. Listening closely to rhythms and audio patterns will help you keep the beat even when the visuals are distorted.
- Memorize notes: Some notes may be corrupted, disappear, or be delayed. Familiarizing yourself with note patterns can help you avoid glitches.
- Stay calm amid glitches: Mods can simulate bugs—like disappearing UIs, inverted inputs, or fake game crashes—to distract you. Don't let panic ruin your streak.
