Build adaptive horror pacing with data-driven tension, weighted events, safe zones, diagnostics, and stalker-state coordination.Horror Tension Director is a modular runtime system for creating dynamic fear, threat, and stalker encounters in Unity. It lets designers control tension buildup, reveal timing, threat sources, event pacing, safe zones, stalker states, spawn points, and player objectives through reusable components and ScriptableObject configurations.The system is highly customizable and suitable for survival horror, psychological horror, stealth horror, haunted environments, and narrative exploration games. Tune tension curves, thresholds, cooldowns, stalker behavior, reveal rules, and gameplay events without modifying the core framework.
