Project Afternight custom song basics
Project Afternight is a Roblox-based Friday Night Funkin’ experience built around a large catalog of mods, fan songs, remixes, and soundtrack additions. A “custom song” in this context usually means a track added from a featured fan project or an additional music collection, not a player-upload system.
The standard route is simple: enter a stage, select a category, choose a song, and set the difficulty. Performances can be played alone or through multiplayer formats such as 1v1, 2v2, and 4v4. This structure makes the song browser the central tool for finding custom content.
| Content group | What it represents | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Playable mods | Full FNF mods and themed song packs | Explore complete experiences |
| Fan songs | Community-made tracks connected to a mod or creator | Find unusual charts and remixes |
| Additional tracks | Music from other games, artists, and OST collections | Broaden the song catalog |
| Removed content | Projects no longer listed as active | Treat as historical information |
The catalog includes recognizable FNF projects alongside music connected to titles such as OMORI, ULTRAKILL, Undertale, Touhou, Persona, and other fandoms. Availability can change when a project is removed, revised, or placed under review.
Start with a familiar mod or artist category, then move to fan songs and additional tracks. This reduces browsing time and helps you select a chart that matches your skill level.
How to find and select a custom song
Use the following process whenever you want to locate a specific fan song or test a new chart. The menu names and catalog contents may change with updates, but the selection logic remains consistent.
Join a stage
Enter the main song-selection area and wait for the stage interface to load. If you are playing with others, confirm that the group is ready before changing the selection.
Choose a category
Browse playable mods, fan-song bundles, miscellaneous FNF content, or additional tracks. Select the category closest to the song’s original project or musician.
Pick the track
Read the song title and associated mod information carefully. Some categories contain multiple versions, remixes, one-shots, or songs with similar names.
Set difficulty
Select a difficulty that lets you maintain accuracy. For progression goals, begin with a reliable chart before attempting the hardest song in a pack.
Play and review
Finish the performance, check your accuracy, and record whether the result was a clear or Full Combo. Repeat the chart only when the practice has a clear goal.
| Selection decision | Recommended choice | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| First attempt | Moderate difficulty | Builds familiarity without wasting attempts |
| Practice session | Short or familiar chart | Makes timing errors easier to identify |
| Multiplayer match | Known chart | Reduces selection disputes and loading delays |
| Progression push | Hardest fitting chart | Useful for song-specific titles and challenges |
Do not assume that every track listed in older references remains playable. The project has documented removed mods, requested removals, and work-in-progress notices. Verify the current in-game listing before planning a long grind around one song.
A song’s appearance in a historical catalog does not guarantee current availability. Check the live selection menu and avoid treating removed or outdated entries as active content.
Custom song progression and Full Combo goals
Performance quality is more useful than simply clearing a large number of songs. A Full Combo, commonly shortened to FC, means completing a chart without breaking the combo. Project Afternight also uses unique song Full Combos for progression toward custom icon access.
The documented custom icon requirement is 50 unique song FCs, and each qualifying song must contain at least 175 notes. This makes careful tracking important: repeating the same song does not replace a missing unique chart, and a short chart may not count toward the requirement.
| Goal | Requirement or focus | Practical method |
|---|---|---|
| Clear a song | Complete the chart | Use a comfortable difficulty first |
| Earn an FC | Finish without a combo break | Replay after identifying weak sections |
| Count toward custom icons | Unique song, at least 175 notes | Track qualifying songs separately |
| Earn a song-specific tag | Strong performance on a fitting chart | Target the mod’s hardest or most thematic song |
Some tags are themed around the source material. Examples include “Club Member” for Doki Doki content, “Escapist” for Piggy references, and “Prime” references associated with ULTRAKILL. These are not generic purchases; they are tied to strong performance on a specific song and difficulty.
Accuracy First
Choose charts where your timing is stable. A clean result is more valuable than repeatedly failing a song above your current level.
Unique Chart Tracking
Record every qualifying FC by song, not only by mod. This prevents duplicate clears from slowing the 50-song target.
Themed Challenges
After building consistency, attempt the song most closely associated with a mod’s identity or title reward.
Build a personal FC list with the song name, mod, difficulty, note count when known, and result. This keeps the custom icon goal measurable.
Unlocks, icons, and performance rewards
Project Afternight separates performance unlocks from conventional paid progression. The referenced game description states that animations, icons, noteskins, and notesplashes are unlocked by playing the related mod or song. It also describes a shop interface without a points system or microtransaction model.
Custom icons become available after the required FC milestone. The upload format is based on three states—neutral, losing, and winning—with an image structure similar to Psych Engine’s icon system. The documented image range is 150x150 to 450x150 pixels.
| Feature | How it is earned | What to remember |
|---|---|---|
| Animations | Play the related mod or song | Unlocks are connected to source content |
| Icons | Play related content; custom icons require 50 unique FCs | Track unique qualifying songs |
| Noteskins | Play the associated mod or song | Not described as a paid purchase |
| Notesplashes | Play the associated mod or song | Availability can follow catalog changes |
| Custom icon upload | Reach the documented FC milestone | Prepare neutral, losing, and winning states |
A strong routine combines variety with repeat practice. Use new songs to increase unique progress, then revisit difficult charts to improve accuracy. If a song is connected to a title or cosmetic reward, learn its chart patterns before attempting the highest difficulty.
Custom Song Progress Checklist:
- Choose a category that matches the target mod or artist
- Confirm the song and difficulty before starting
- Record unique Full Combos and qualifying note counts
- Practice difficult sections instead of repeating random charts
- Review unlocks after completing related songs
Treat noteskins, notesplashes, and icons as personalization and progression rewards. They can improve readability, but chart knowledge and timing remain the main performance factors.

Join a stage, open the category connected to the mod or musician, select the track, and confirm its difficulty. Search related fan-song bundles when the song is not listed under the original mod.
