;April Fools' Day 2021: A new feature is introduced where swiping right on a song reveals controls that would change the displayed difficulty ratinghttps://twitter.com/arcaea_en/status/1377411950875865090. Lower the Future difficulty of dropdead so that it reaches "?". Then attempt to lower the difficulty several more times.
;April Fools' Day 2022 onwards: Tap repeatedly on the "Like" (heart) icon of dropdead.
=== Difficulty Modification ===
Holding down on the difficulty number of a song in Song Select would bring up + and - buttonshttps://twitter.com/arcaea_en/status/1377411950875865090. Pressing one of these buttons would increase or decrease the song's difficulty rating for that level respectively by 1 unit (counting 9+/10+ as independent difficulties from 9/10). Ratings could be set to a minimum of 1 (or ? in the case of dropdead Future) and a maximum of 11. When changing the rating, an up or down arrow would appear next it depending on if the custom rating was above or below the real rating. These ratings would be accounted for when sorting songs by difficulty, though the currently selected pack or sort mode would need to be changed first for it to apply. Starting a song or exiting the Music Play menu would reset all song ratings. The custom rating does not appear during gameplay.
== Trivia ==
* overdead. is a remix of dropdead.
* According to Nitro, the title, composition, and sound design of overdead. were intended to evoke the concept of underflow error, and overdamage mechanics in fighting games and RPGs.https://twitter.com/NitroX72/status/1379937273811103746 The name is also a callback/inversion of the "OVERDRIVE" in dropdead's charter credits.
* This song is only playable on April Fools' Day from 2021 onwards.
* Like other April Fools' songs, this song has several idiosyncrasies:
** Future only: no Past and Present difficulties.
** Undefined difficulty level: the Future chart difficulty is just displayed as "?".
** Undefined chart constant: playing this song has no effect on Potential.
** Camera feature: notes can be outside the usual input boundaries.
* This song has several peculiarities of its own:
** Notes and traces can come in different and independent speeds.
*** This enables some notes to come from behind the judgement zone, like in Malicious Mischance. Similarly, arcs can also bend backwards.
** There are notes that never actually have to be tapped.
* Instead of the irregular timing of 15/16 in the original dropdead, this song used an irregular timing of 17/4.
* As of v3.5.3, this song has the highest BPM in the entire game at 500 BPM.
