You were not supposed to be here.
The Broken is a psychological survival horror mod that reshapes Minecraft into an unsettling exploration experience. The world feels fractured and hostile, where silence is oppressive and the environment subtly reacts to your presence. Fear is built through atmosphere, not jumpscares.
Explore abandoned terrain, uncover fragmented lore, and survive a world that feels aware of you.
