Mod turns Fallout 4 into a dread-soaked horror experience
http://www.pcgamer.com/mod-turns-fallout-4-into-a-dread-soaked-horror-experience/
Fallout 4 can be a bit spooky from time to time, and often startling when ghouls come lunging toward you, but it's not a horror game. You can make it one now, though, using a mod called Pilgrim—Dread the Commonwealth. Dread is definitely the right word: just watch the trailer above and see Fallout 4 turned into what looks like a mix of the Stalker games and The Road. It's bleak, yo.
