Lingering Whispers...

Description
Features:
Throughout your play-through, you may hear a singular murmur in the horde, a contorted voice at the door as it tries to break in, pleading souls hidden away, fleeting minds of men giving guidance or begging for mercy as well as lot more.

This occurrence is exceptional rare (0.1% chance but adjustable), you may forget this mod even exists. Their minds are extremely broken & degraded, but despite it all, you can sometimes witness 1-4 understandable words amongst the endless thrum of undeciphered protospeech. This mod is purely text-based (no voice acting) as well as state-sensitive depending on what the zombie is doing, it is meant to be an immersive, somewhat vanilla-friendly, creepy horror mod & it should work in Multiplayer.

This is my first mod, hope you enjoy :) There is a lot that i'd like to add to this, such as even more whispers, multi-speak lines, state-sensitivity based on current zombie decay level (how far they are gone), a whole bunch more creepy scenarios where they can talk & so on but unfortunately I am not a very competent coder, so if you'd be interested in helping out with this or future projects, let me know.

STORY VIDEO NARRATION:
"Dwindling minds...

Trapped bodies no longer their own, an internal struggle takes root... Festering psyches on fire, it sputters & cracks with madness! The horrors they've committed... the loved ones they betrayed... And the struggle for control through waves of insanity & the tortuous decay of thoughts and flesh!...

...But somehow, through that seemingly endless ocean of hallucinogenic thought, rare cases of unfathomable mental resilience somehow occurs... Is this the human spirit...?! Or echos of deeply nested psyche barely holding on! Whatever it may be, through that manic & necrotic choir, Lingering Whispers are heard!

. . . █ █ █ █ █ █ . . .

What was that.... real?!

Or is it just a cruel trick of the dwindling mind of my own...?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, check out Lingering Reflexes, a mod created by Mr Sunshine that expands upon this concept and takes these dwindling minds a little further!

@Aacad you can change the probability in the customized world type settings menu

I want the probability of starting this mode to be around 5%

I think it would be more realistic. There's no place left to talk to yourself
