Understanding Phase Progression
The mod uses a phase-based system where danger escalates as in-game days pass. Strange occurrences begin subtly and intensify over time, creating mounting psychological pressure rather than sudden threats.
To survive, monitor your surroundings carefully. Listen to the custom audio cues—familiar biomes will sound wrong and unsettling. Build defensive structures early, as world events can disrupt your base safety at any phase.
Your ultimate goal is to construct the hollow altar, which serves as both progression marker and your means to confront the darkness. Prepare resources and gather information about the uncanny creatures appearing in your world. Combat encounters test your skill and awareness, so stay alert and avoid overconfidence. The mod rewards careful observation and strategic preparation over raw stats.
