The Broken Script

Overview

The Broken Script is an analog horror Minecraft mod, containing several random events and entities you encounter throughout the game. It takes itself slowly, ramping up the tension and building a creepy atmosphere over time, without a true release. It allows real, raw, fear to develop in the player's mind, un-knowing of what is there to come. It develops an ARG (alternate reality game), a sort of internet mystery told through small clues left for people to find. The ARG tells the story of what happened in the mod's deep lore, and why.

Reach

Currently, it is sitting at over 2 million downloads on both Modrinth and CurseForge, and has a large and dedicated community figuring out its secrets and story.

Authorship

The mod was originally created by wendigodrip, and since he left I have taken over core development responsibilities and lead the incredibly talented team. My responsibilities include writing and optimizing code, managing the team, overseeing the development of the ARG and lore, and leading the development of assets.

The mod is written in Kotlin and Java, for Minecraft 1.21.1, and almost all code in the mod is loader-agnostic, and could work on both Fabric and NeoForge.

The mod is closed-source, however its core library that contains the foundations for almost all features will be open-source upon the release of version 2.0 of the mod.
