Forgotten Frequency

Forgotten Frequency is an atmospheric horror mod that adds anomaly events, radio warnings, and limited protection tools.

It is built for both singleplayer and multiplayer and focuses on tension over cheap jump scares.

Core Idea

The world is not safe.

From time to time, strange anomalies emerge: whispers, sudden environmental cues, and rare harmful phases that can directly hit players. Some dangerous events are preceded by radio static, giving just enough time to react.

The focus is not jump scares, but persistent psychological pressure.

Main Features

Shared anomaly scheduler (server-authoritative)
Atmospheric and harmful event pools
Radio warning phase before selected harmful events
Rare automatic protection item (Amulet)
Craftable manual protection item (Incense)
Ward effect as temporary protective state
Threat-driven pacing with configurable behavior
