Gigeresque - Giger's Horror World

Gigeresque immerses players in the dark universe of biomechanical nightmares inspired by the works of H.R. Giger. This mod transports you to a world where deadly xenomorphs, neomorphs, deacons, and black goo mutants lurk in the shadows.

Mod Features

Underground, you may discover mysterious black monolithic structures hiding ancient life forms that were sealed away for good reason. Inside these dungeons, you'll find strange leathery egg-like capsules containing terrifying facehuggers and mutagenic black goo.

Unlike its predecessors, Gigeresque focuses on the atmosphere of ancient cosmic horror. Xenomorphs don't roam the surface like ordinary mobs - they patiently wait in their hiding places until careless explorers release them, much like opening Pandora's box.

Key Elements

Xenomorphs are the main, but not the only, threat in this mod. These terrifying parasites, likely engineered rather than naturally occurring, use spider-like facehuggers to find warm-blooded hosts. After egg implantation, an adult creature violently emerges from the victim, retaining distorted features of its host.

Adult xenomorphs are capable of egg morphing - a frightening process of transforming living biomass into new eggs, ready to restart the deadly cycle.
