Dread

Atmospheric horror overhaul for R.E.P.O. Ambient dread, scarier monsters, and a tension system — without breaking the vanilla experience.

Features

Ambient Audio

Rare positional sounds placed around the level during runs — scraping, distant footsteps, breathing, whispers. Fully spatial and unpredictable. Each sound plays at a randomized pitch so no two are identical.

Monster Overhaul

• 1.2x speed and acceleration — monsters are noticeably more aggressive
• Randomized audio pitch — each enemy has a unique, randomized voice on spawn
• Wider detection radius — voice and physics noise alerts enemies further away

Tension System

• Adrenaline — sprint energy drains up to 70% slower when an enemy is within 15m
• Panic sprint — brief 1.25x speed burst on sprint start near an enemy, 20 second cooldown
• Out of breath — gasp sound plays when stamina runs out after sprinting, 60 second cooldown
• Fake footsteps — footstep sounds occasionally spawn behind you with no source

QOL

• Crouch speed — 30% faster, making stealth movement actually viable

Netcode

Monster changes are host-authoritative. Atmospheric effects only appear for players with the mod installed. Players without Dread can join modded lobbies.

Config

All features independently toggleable via BepInEx/config/elytraking.dread.cfg (generated on first run). Compatible with REPOConfig for in-game editing.

Requirements

• BepInEx 5.4.21+
• No other dependencies
