![Shape of Madness](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/d52dc6f7b20fa4867eae0424c7513ec42a5334bd.png)<\/p>\n

\n**A world abandoned by whatever god you choose to believe in. Be prepared to survive or die.**\n<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n


\nBy day, a search for resources and survival, and by night, a struggle between sanity and madness.
\nShape of Madness is an RPG and Survival experience mixed with psychological horror, containing some creatures that are definitely not human.
\nIt can be played smoothly in single-player mode, but it also has its own server, so you can play with others, help each other, and maybe even discover the legends of this world\u2026 if they are only legends. <\/p>\n

This world is unforgiving. Surviving alone is possible, but not expected. Choose your allies wisely \u2014 or walk alone and hope something doesn’t find you first.

# \ud83e\ude78 Highlights<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udd75 **Relentless Survival** \u2014 thirst, temperature, exhaustion, and resource scarcity slowly break you down. Every step feels like a battle against the world itself.<\/p>\n

\u2694\ufe0f **Weighted Combat & Physical Limits** \u2014 short stamina, heavy swings, and slow-growing proficiencies turn every fight into a life-or-death decision.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf19 **Sinister Celestial Events** \u2014 anomalous moons and unpredictable nights twist the world, revealing behaviors no one should witness.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc41\ufe0f **Truly Hostile Creatures** \u2014 fast, aggressive, disturbingly intelligent enemies. Some hunt you. Others simply watch. Always.<\/p>\n

\ud83e\ude78 **Sensory Horror** \u2014 sudden distortions, blood-blurred vision, distant echoes, whispers far too close. You can\u2019t be sure any of it was real.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfd5\ufe0f **Deep Exploration** \u2014 vast caverns, living ruins, and structures that feel wrong\u2026 as if the world rejects your presence.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf92 **Character Enhancement** \u2014 accessories and special items shaping your build, each pushing you deeper into the madness of this place.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udf2b\ufe0f **A Living, Breathing World** \u2014 expanded biomes, unsettling ambient sounds, and a constant presence that makes you wonder if you\u2019re ever truly alone.<\/p>\n

\nI didn\u2019t even understand what happened. One moment everything was normal\u2026
\nand the next, I was here.
\nWherever \u201chere\u201d is \u2014 I still don\u2019t know.
\nAll I know is that I can\u2019t find a way back.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been trying to stay calm, but something\u2019s wrong with this place.
\nI keep hearing footsteps that stop the second I listen for them.
\nI\u2019ve looked over my shoulder so many times my neck hurts,
\nand every time, I swear I catch a glimpse of something pulling away from the edge of my vision.<\/p>\n

I just need to keep moving.
\nIf I stop, I feel like whatever\u2019s following me finally will too.
