Deep Quiet

Every sound is a risk.

One of your friends becomes the monster. Everyone else must work together in an abandoned city, finish six connected preparations, and choose how to survive: call a rescue aircraft or unlock the weapon that can end the hunt.

Deep Quiet is an asymmetric multiplayer horror minigame for Minecraft Java 1.20.1 / Forge by Hoot Al Ghawas. The city, game rules, models, effects, and tutorials are included in the mod.

Hunt your friends — or keep them alive

• Three playable monsters: the blind, fast Listener tracks sound and pulls survivors with its tongue; Verity stalks with a rush, ground slam, and marked teleport; the huge Beast Titan throws boulders and unleashes a terrifying roar.
• Five survivor classes: Medic, Gunner, Trapper, Scout, and Decoy. Heal teammates, prepare a noisy shot, set traps, scan for danger, or lure the hunter away.
• Six shared, multi-step missions: collect and assemble a radio battery, pump and deliver fuel, grow wheat and escort a lost calf, repeat radio melodies, solve relay circuits, and align a rooftop antenna.
• A city built for chases: escape windows, roof routes, ladders, wardrobes, crates, and spaces under beds. Hiding buys time, but staying too long can make noise.
• Distractions and supplies: throw bottles or bricks to create a sound elsewhere, find respawning supply crates, and use escape utilities.
• Downed teammates can be revived. Taking a risk to save someone may change the round.
• Four endings: escape by aircraft, defeat the monster with the unlocked resonator, lose the entire survivor team, or face the monster's final overload when time expires.
• 5–15 minute rounds, built-in survivor and monster tutorials with English narration, and solo practice for learning the controls.
• Custom monster animations, sound effects, chase ambience, warning effects, and jump scares.

Start playing

1. Install Minecraft Java 1.20.1, Forge 47.x, and Java 17. Forge 47.4.10 is the tested target.
2. Put deepquiet-1.0.jar in the mods folder on every player's client and the server. Everyone must use the same file.
3. Open a world or join your server, then press J to open the lobby. Choose a survivor class, monster preference, and round duration.
4. Each player selects Play. With two or more players in the lobby, the host can start; one player is chosen as the monster.
5. During the round, press J for the field map, mission steps, and objective guidance. First time here? Choose Tutorial, Solo human, or Solo beast from the lobby.

No separate map download is needed. A real match needs other players; solo modes are practice modes.

Default controls

Keys can be changed in Minecraft's Controls menu. Follow the on-screen hints for interaction, mission puzzles, and your current character.

Optional microphone integration

Simple Voice Chat is optional. When installed and configured on the clients and server, microphone activity can create sound cues for the hunt. The core game works without it. GeckoLib is not required.
