About The Sham
The Sham is a mod that adds the Bedlam, a living nightmare disguised as a bed...
Beds are no longer safe
Spoiler(at least at full moons and new moons)
Whenever you go to sleep during a full moon or a new moon, there is a chance that Bedlam will appear. This isn't just jumpscare, this creature is fast, brutal, and specifically designed to punish careless sleeping.
With this mod installed, nighttime becomes a real decision: Sleep in a bed and risk facing a deadly enemy. Or stay awake, fighting weaker but numerous enemies until dawn.
Compatibility
