Silence 0.3.4

Stay still and silent, or die.

Overview

Silence is a horror event mod for Lethal Company that introduces random blackouts inside the facility.

When the lights suddenly go out, a mysterious "Shh..." sound warns everyone to stay quiet.

After the reaction window, moving or speaking will result in instant death. Players who remain completely still and silent will survive.

There is no physical monster. The event itself is the threat.

Gameplay Preview

How It Works

• Random Blackouts: Every 25 seconds, there is a 3% chance of triggering an event while living players are inside the facility.
• Event Duration: Blackouts last between 8 and 12 seconds, with a 60-second cooldown after each event.
• Lights Out: Facility lights temporarily shut off, accompanied by the original breaker switch sound and a "Shh..." whisper.
• Reaction Window: You have 1.0–1.5 seconds to stop moving and speaking. This is included in the blackout duration.
• Stay Still: Walking, running, crouch-walking, jumping, and climbing ladders will trigger instant death. Looking around and holding a stationary crouch are allowed. Remaining airborne from a jump when the reaction window ends is lethal.
• Stay Silent: Speaking or making detectable noise through your microphone will also trigger instant death.
• Survive: Once the blackout ends, the lights return to their previous state and players can move and speak freely again.
• Multiplayer: Events are synchronized across all players. Only living players inside the facility are affected.
