Purgatory
by subzeroditto
Purgatory is an asymmetrical horror minigame in which one Killer hunts down Sinners in a three-minute round.
What it does
Rounds are built around a place called Purgatory, where those who died unjustly are sent. The Killer chases the Sinners across a map, and each round lasts about three minutes. A Killer usually has three or four abilities, while a Sinner typically has one or two. The game is delivered as a data pack, so it runs on a server without any client-side installation.
Players can pick their roles, or let the game select a Killer and Sinners at random. Once everyone is ready, the function purgatory:roundstart begins a round, and the mod can run rounds back to back with a 15-second break between them. A gamemaster that spawns during the break is set to Darkness by default, while the default Killer is Rusher and the default Sinner is named on the same settings screen. Players who want one specific round type can run its function directly. Play is designed for four to eight friends.
