<p align="center"><em> By day, a search for resources and survival, and by night, a struggle between sanity and madness. Shape of Madness is an RPG and Survival experience mixed with psychological horror, containing some creatures that are definitely not human. It can be played smoothly in single-player mode, but it also has its own server, so you can play with others, help each other, and maybe even discover the legends of this world… if they are only legends.
This world is unforgiving. Surviving alone is possible, but not expected. Choose your allies wisely — or walk alone and hope something doesn't find you first. </em></p>

🩸 Highlights
🥵 Relentless Survival — thirst, temperature, exhaustion, and resource scarcity slowly break you down. Every step feels like a battle against the world itself.
⚔️ Weighted Combat & Physical Limits — short stamina, heavy swings, and slow-growing proficiencies turn every fight into a life-or-death decision.
🌙 Sinister Celestial Events — anomalous moons and unpredictable nights twist the world, revealing behaviors no one should witness.
👁️ Truly Hostile Creatures — fast, aggressive, disturbingly intelligent enemies. Some hunt you. Others simply watch. Always.
🩸 Sensory Horror — sudden distortions, blood-blurred vision, distant echoes, whispers far too close. You can’t be sure any of it was real.
🏕️ Deep Exploration — vast caverns, living ruins, and structures that feel wrong… as if the world rejects your presence.
🎒 Character Enhancement — accessories and special items shaping your build, each pushing you deeper into the madness of this place.
🌫️ A Living, Breathing World — expanded biomes, unsettling ambient sounds, and a constant presence that makes you wonder if you’re ever truly alone.

<strong><em> I didn’t even understand what happened. One moment everything was normal… and the next, I was here. Wherever “here” is — I still don’t know. All I know is that I can’t find a way back.
I’ve been trying to stay calm, but something’s wrong with this place. I keep hearing footsteps that stop the second I listen for them. I’ve looked over my shoulder so many times my neck hurts, and every time, I swear I catch a glimpse of something pulling away from the edge of my vision.
I just need to keep moving. If I stop, I feel like whatever’s following me finally will too. </em></strong></p>
