You're not alone anymore. 
Backrooms: Lifeform psychological horror experience where entities stalk, observe, and hunt unpredictably instead of simply attacking like normal mobs. These types of horror mods are known for stalking mechanics, distant sounds, and unpredictable behavior that builds tension before the entity even appears.
This mod focuses on fear through atmosphere, not just jumpscares.
You won't always see them… but you'll hear them.
And sometimes… they'll be right behind you.

Unpredictable attacks
You’re not just fighting mobs…
You're being hunted.
