TREPIDATION — Story-driven Horror Roguelite

『 ⧗ TREPIDATION ⧗ 』

"Every death teaches. Every run changes. Every moment counts."

⊱༒︎━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━༒︎⊰

⊱༒︎━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━༒︎⊰

Inspired by Hades, Dark Souls, and DOOM Eternal. TREPIDATION is a horror modpack that completely transforms Minecraft into a speedrunning action-roguelite game.

You spawn in the Nether and immediately notice there is a timer on your screen ticking down. Battle upwards through terrifying dimensions to the top of the world and kill the Ender Dragon before time runs out.

Each dimension is vertically stacked on top of each other and are unique with their own barriers, progression, mobs, challenges, bosses, and more. Mobs are enhanced with smart and dangerous AI, allowing them to break blocks, pillar upwards, dodge, lunge, and even use special abilities.

Master a dynamic and satisfying movement system built for fast-paced combat.
Chain together dashes, double jumps, and wall climbs to navigate treacherous biomes with fluidity.
These skills aren't gifts, they're necessities that will burn into your muscle memory from countless runs.

⊱༒︎━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━༒︎⊰⚰️ But be warned, panic breeds mistakes, and mistakes will be punished. ⚰️

**A modern fast-paced combat system built from the ground up.**Dynamic animations, new core mechanics, meticulous balancing, polished QoL, playstyle-changing gear set bonuses, massive perk and skill tree, unique weapons that do more than just slash, and trinkets that expand your agility and combat options even further.

Combat isn't just fun, it's satisfying.
Dynamic gore, decapitation, on-screen effects, impactful per-weapon hit sounds, and more...

🔪 TREPIDATION combines robust agility and combat for a virtually infinite skill ceiling. 🔪

TREPIDATION overcomes conventional Minecraft horror, weaving together cosmic dread, psychological torment, and paranormal terror into an thoughtful blend of fear.
Every aspect, including sounds, music, visuals, creatures, and gameplay have been meticulously crafted to create an atmosphere of perpetual unease, aiding the overall narrative and immersion.

**🩸 This is not a collection of horror mods. 🩸**This is a coherent, evolving world and story where every element serves the narrative and gameplay drives the tension.

Competition is the heart of TREPIDATION. Use the knowledge you’ve gained from all your deaths and race against the community to compete for the best time. Take part in community-wide challenges ranging from combat, speed, unorthodox strategies, building, and more.

Join the Discord, discuss strategies, discover new metas, and cement your name as the best runner and world record holder in TREPIDATION history.

Delve into the shattered Realms, where each fragment holds pieces of a cosmic tragedy.
You awaken as a Runner in a dying world, piecing together torn memories of another Runner named Elara. You will uncover journal entries and buried fortresses that whisper of rituals that cracked time's spine.
Why does your skin remember scars you've never earned? What primordial debt binds you and Elara to time's feast? Every warped artifact pulses with Its influence, every maddened Dreadswine's howl carries echoes of your own voice.

TREPIDATION contains mature content and themes, some of which may not be suitable for some audiences. These include: Excessive gore/decapitation, realistic arachnids, paranormal themes, jumpscares (Mind's Abyss only), and other frightening scenes.

These two videos below are very out of date (dozens of major updates since then) but still fun and serve as a way to get a barebones idea of the early gameplay. TREPIDATION is very different than what you'll see in these videos.
