📋 About This Mod

Dark Future contains gameplay elements that may be upsetting to some, including themes of addiction and anxiety. While these features can be disabled, you may still see references to them in various descriptions in the game. If you struggle with addiction or mental wellness, you may not have a safe experience when using this content. Stay safe, choom!

The Nerve, addiction, and other various mechanics that Dark Future portrays each come with negative status effects and are presented as problems to be solved. This mod does not engage in the "glorification of real-world substances that would cause physical harm to a person", and does not " ... depression in a way which romanticises, glamorises, glorifies or normalises it". As such, while this mod is thematically tailored toward mature audiences, this mod is not flagged as Adult Content on Nexus Mods.
