![Dysthymia-6 [Дистимии-6]: Russian Horror Mod for Serious Sam](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WlsqgG0mEzk/mqdefault.jpg "Dysthymia-6 [Дистимии-6]: Russian Horror Mod for Serious Sam
Dysthymia-6 [Дистимия-6] is a Russian mod from unknown origin. It hasnt been translated to English. It is atmospheric horror. 1 maybe 2 jumpscares are present. No combat mechanics. Just walk forward while chilling noises play.
Ive done quite a bit of research but most pages are in Russian. Using Google translate Ive found many posts of people talking about this game on Russian websites/pages. However, everything reads like a creepypasta.
An excerpt from a post found here: https://gamerulez.net/articles/distimiya-6-vy-ne-spasetes
Nothing is known for certain about the author of this work, although rumors about his personality are extremely numerous. According to the most popular one, his head is not all right, and his work is direct evidence of this. Whether this is true or not, we are unlikely to ever find out, but for especially impressionable players, the creation of this anonymous person really causes a state of anxiety and fear.
Using that same excerpt, the author explains that the random text in the upper left hand say stuff like You will be alive until I finish, I will start with your eyes, You will die.
The same author compares the mod to Dantes Inferno:
9 tiers of mod embody 9 circles of hell. The zero tier resembles a place in front of the entrance to the underworld, where, according to Dante, useless souls gather who have not shown themselves during life either from a positive or a negative side. The lower you go, the stronger the psychological pressure exerted on you, which is also quite logical: below, according to the Divine Comedy, there are the most notorious sinners deserving inhuman torment.
Creepy game though it may not be the horror others like. It certainly scared me!
As stated in the video this mod does contain malware. So if you desire to play this mod yourself youll need three things:
A copy of Serious Sam: the Second Encounter
To avoid malware affecting your computer, get a virtual machine whether its VirtualBox or VMware
And youll need a copy of Windows XP [which is what I used] or Windows 7 as some have gotten it to work in that OS.
Again, please be aware that this machine does affect your machine in the name of horror like changing your wallpaper. Long lasting effects seem to be rumors and I have yet to see any credible sources prove that it damages a computer. However, better safe than sorry, get a virtual machine.

Shoutout to Jeff Schleg for getting this mod up and running. Took him months to get it working with little to no crashes. He is also the one who introduced me to this mod. I had no idea it existed.
