Unknown is a psychological horror mod that feeds on the player’s fear and confusion. The entity known only as Unknown watches from the darkness, appearing when your sanity begins to fade.
The mod introduces a dynamic sanity system, where your perception of the world changes as your mind deteriorates—sounds distort, vision blurs, and reality bends. The more you lose control, the closer Unknown gets.
Your sanity goes up if you sleep, regenerate, or if you are in a zone with lights
It goes down when you take damage, when certain interactions happen, when you see something uncanny, when you hit an entity or when you are in the dark
It can:
grab you by the feet make body fall from the sky make your screen black and white interactions in chat knows your name can jumpscare you when you are sleeping cool sounds
