What it does

Abby asks the player to take part in riddles, and the riddles are the only game the mod uses. The mod is server-side only, so players join a server running it without installing anything. Its Forge files target 1.20.1 alone, and the latest build, 0.0.3, was released on 2026-09-13 on the beta channel. It is released under a custom license and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Riddle-based horror

    Every interaction is a riddle posed by Abby, with no other game mechanic in the mod.

  2. Scripted event trigger

    A riddle can trigger a scripted event, and the author notes a final release is planned for later.

  3. Content warning

    The author flags a scopophobia trigger in the mod, and a spoiler note is included in its description.
