The Other Side
by Firyx
Set in a survival world that decays night by night, The Other Side is a Fabric horror mod built around lasting consequences.
What it does
Nightly nightmares, which the mod calls ancient presence events, force the player to choose how to respond as the world changes around them. Sky, water and fog in the Overworld turn blood-red, and animals run wildly, keeping the player in constant panic. The mod uses flashing lights, sudden jumpscares and screamers, and its author recommends wearing headphones to play it.
An entity drains the player's strength. Each encounter can permanently remove three hearts, taking away 6 maximum HP and leaving the player slowed down for good. Physical stats are restored after death, but the world remains corrupted. A player who chooses to leave the world forever has the save file permanently deleted, and the computer is disconnected.
Key features
Progressive decay
The world changes gradually from a normal survival start, with each night adding to the nightmare.
Permanent hearts loss
An encounter with the entity can take three hearts and 6 maximum HP for good, so the loss carries into later play.
Corrupted world after death
Physical stats return on death, while the world keeps the changes made by the entity.
Sensory horror
Flashing lights, jumpscares and screamers are part of the atmosphere, and the author advises headphones.
