Monitor and Respond to Sanity Loss

Read Your Sanity Bar

The on-screen madness bar displays your current sanity level in real time. Watch this bar during intense situations—it depletes as you cast powers or encounter dangerous entities. The bar's color and position show at a glance how close you are to critical sanity loss.

Recognize Warning Signs

As sanity drops, visual effects intensify. You'll see screen glitches, static overlays, and distorted visuals when you're approaching dangerous levels. These aren't just cosmetic—they signal that your character is losing grip on reality.

Manage Sanity Strategically

Plan your ability usage to avoid bottoming out your sanity in combat. Some powers cost more sanity than others. If your bar is low, switch to abilities with lower sanity costs or retreat to recover.

Environmental Effects at Critical Levels

When sanity reaches critical thresholds, the mod triggers environmental visuals like blood rain, creeping frost, heartbeat pulses, and staring eyes. These effects are both atmospheric and a gameplay warning that you need to restore sanity immediately or face severe consequences.
