  • I ignored this one for much too long! I assumed it was just cosmetic mod plus had a gimick of being blind (there was a mod for blindness previous to Downpour), but that is not the case at all. This one is the first mod I've encountered that uses dreams the same way as in Artificer. The story is also very sad, and good. Anyone who has played Hunter and taken a slugpup to Subterranean will be able to relate ;_; This was a really fun, good mod.
    That said, I did encounter some issues (lagging and crashes) but this is highly likely to be my fault rather than the mods as I had way too many campaign mods active at the same time.

      if they broke the red grid things that the white spiders maintain, i think that would just straight up kill them from the sound

    3:08, I think that's the whole dream. This is why Darkness is blind, they had echolocation in that dream and were no longer a slugpup, so they were underground in the dark for long enough to get adapted, then a scavenger threw a flashbang RIGHT in front of their already sensitive eyes.

    From what I understand, the darkness's backstory is a nightcat-colored baby that was taken care of by Hunter and left around the depths
    The fact that these exact scenarios happened to me and my hunter run is rather... personal.
    As for the gameplay I love the implementation of overseer's "light" as the way to navigate, echolocation but amplified? Idk seeing the world in a new perspective is cool!

      Yeah! Pretty much!
      From what I can see Hunter revived Moon and found Darkness on the way back through Industrial on the way to Chimney and Pebbles, because she didn't recognize you. Then he visited Pebbles with Darkness, Pebbles /did/ recognize you. Then took Darkness to The Depths, Darkness got killed by the Guardian.
      However, because Hunter dove into the Void Sea he wasn't there when Darkness' cycle restarted. So the now alone pup survived and lived in Filtration for long enough to grow from a slugpup to a slugcat, figuring out echolocation and having their eyes adapt to the darkness. Unfortunately as soon as they left Filtration a scavenger threw a Flashbang and it landed /right/ in front of Darkness, blinding them forever. And that's generally where the campaign starts.

    my understanding of the story is: a black slugpup, Darkness, was being taken care of by Hunter (or well, generally a red slug, but lets call it Hunter, i don't think it really matters). Hunter wanted to ascend with its pup, but Darkness was not let through by the Guardians, and ended up stuck in the depths, while Hunter ascended. due to living underground, Darkness developed better hearing, that's why in the last dream sequence (3:02) it already had the wobbly textures around it. the screen a little bit further on the right was normally visible, so we know that Darkness still had functioning eyes at this point. it got so used to the darkness of the depths, that the sudden light from the flashbang thrown by a Scav at a lizard blinded it. without its eyes, Darkness' hearing adapted even more, allowing it to navigate the world completely blind.

    This looks cool. I recently read a story about a blind slugcat and I'm thinking of trying to make a mod around it. Though instead of just making everything darker and harder to see I'm going to try actually implementing echolocation.
