The Root of Fear

Video review of the modification

About the Modification

The Root of Fear mod introduces players to a new dangerous monster called the Wilted — a mutated relative of the Creaking creature. This being has merged with its heart and managed to break free from the Pale Garden, gaining the ability to roam freely throughout the entire Overworld.

The Wilted draws power from surrounding darkness, making the player — the main source of light in the world — its primary target. The monster is characterized by extreme unpredictability due to a complex artificial intelligence system that includes randomly generated behavioral patterns with each appearance.

You're about to face a real challenge... Good luck.

Gameplay Features

• Two days before the monster's arrival, you'll begin hearing its voice at night
• On the day of the attack, the Overworld will be enveloped in a dense mysterious fog
• At night, the Wilted will appear disguised as an ordinary creature — you need to hold out as long as possible
• Direct confrontation with the monster is not recommended
• When the creature reveals its true form, immediately seek safe illuminated shelter
• Destroy the roots that cover your light sources
• Survive the attacks until morning
• The first appearance of the Wilted will occur on the second night, after which the monster will return 2-10 days after the previous attack
