A predator that doesn't rush you. It watches, it closes in, and after three days... it commits.
The concept
The Stalker is a single relentless horror entity built around a staged hunt. Instead of a jump-scare mob, it plays a slow psychological game — lurking at the treeline, creeping closer over days, whispering with your own words, until it finally attacks.
The three stages
- Observe — Stays far out ,circles, watches from your blind spots. Never attacks.
- Closure — Tightens the noose, moves in close, pressure builds with sound and FX.
- Terminal — It chases and kills, hitting harder than it did before, with a custom death message.
It never teleports in front of you — it stalks and paths in naturally, and even follows you across dimensions by reappearing far behind you. It won't despawn mid-hunt.
Atmosphere & dread
- Tall, gaunt, blocky horror model with glowing red hollow eyes (emissive), long clawed arms, a hunched ribbed frame, and creepy idle/lurch/lunge animations (GeckoLib).
- 17 ambient events — whispers behind you, distant sounds, soul flames, darkness, heartbeat pulses — scaled up at night, in the dark, and when it's actively hunting you.
- Chat mimicry — it echoes your own typed messages back, distorted.
- Optional Simple Voice Chat replay — it can play back snippets of your voice.
- Client tension HUD + low proximity heartbeat when it's near and terminal.
