Addon: I Heard It Too Official

I Heard It Too Official is a progressive horror add-on inspired by the short horror film. A dangerous creature called the Maternal Wraith enters the world and gradually changes its behavior in response to the player.

Author: No-Visor

The Maternal Wraith can leave abnormal limbs and remains behind. Some remains can be destroyed normally, while others can be processed with the Portable Saw to obtain useful loot.

Darkness Level is a hidden spawn mechanic. The add-on tracks how much time players spend in dark places and uses that value when choosing a target.

Players who often explore caves, forests and other poorly lit areas attract more attention. The level is individual for each player in multiplayer. For another experience built around visions and a growing threat, try Hallucination.

The creature can adapt to attacks and environments. During adaptation it dismantles its current body, grows a new form and can become immune to the attack that triggered the change. For a different dangerous stalker with a dark atmosphere, see The Fogwalker.

The add-on works without experiments, supports achievements and is multiplayer friendly. It includes a guide book that explains its important systems.

Settings let you control spawning, death behavior, progression and the active game mode. The phone contains several apps used to monitor and counter the creature.

The Call and Status apps provide information about current events and adaptations. The Flash app briefly slows the creature and cancels its adaptation cycle.

Two separate modes are available: Classic and Abnormal. The desired mode can be selected through the add-on settings.

Classic mode focuses on the true form of the Maternal Wraith. Abnormal mode adds paranormal events, stolen loot, copied player names and other unpredictable actions.

Devices can be placed in the world and activated after installation. Their functions are also described in the in-game guide.

The new equipment includes a phone, speaker, walkie-talkie, powerbank, portable saw, batteries and electronic components.

Battery:

• used as a component for several electronic devices

Dual Mini Speaker:

• a compact component required to craft the full Speaker

Universal Motherboard:

• an important circuit used in several machines and devices

Portable Saw:

• processes abnormal body parts left by the creature
• can produce useful loot from the remains

Powerbank:

• recharges the phone Flash when its charge is completely empty

Mobile Phone:

• gives access to Flash, Status and other useful apps
• can be crafted again if the original phone is lost

Speaker:

• instantly distracts the Maternal Wraith with a sound that affects only the creature

Walkie-talkie:

• detects whether the creature is nearby
• plays static when nothing is found and a strange signal when danger is close

The Maternal Wraith spawns in many Overworld areas, especially forests and jungles. It avoids deserts, oceans, caves, icy biomes and mountains, and does not appear in the Nether or End.

Its appearance changes as it takes damage, similar to an iron golem. Flash is the main weakness: it slows the creature and temporarily removes its adaptations, giving the player a chance to finish the fight.

Version 1.6 fixes missing attack and chase textures, improves timed despawning and allows abnormal limbs to be killed without the Portable Saw. The phone Status screen remains the best way to check what the creature has adapted to.
