📋 About This Mod

Do you have what it takes to survive? Are you ready to make decisions that will decide the fate of others?

This is a horror quest that will take you through scary places, give you puzzles to solve and decisions to make. Depending on your decisions you will get a different ending. The mod is of course fully voiced.

You don't need to go anywhere or do anything to get the quest started. Just load a save.

I got inspiration to this mod from watching a certain youtuber who plays Amnesia. Those of you who are familiar with this game may recognize some noises and music from it.

Because of the fact that this is a horror quest, it's not recommended to use any spells that generate light, no matter how scary it might become. It can at some points ruin the scary feeling.
