Madness

Madness is one of many Afflictions you can get in We Need To Go Deeper by ingesting the putrid waters found inside The Meteor.

Effects
When you contract Madness, your character's mind will grow erratic, forever changed by what they witnessed in the depths of The Living Infinite, as well as the eldritch knowledge emerging upon them after the ingestion of the twisted waters that flow inside The Meteor. Unknown sigils, perhaps older than time itself, are engraved upon their consciousness as their wretched sight follows the poor souls that have been marked by their Madness. Beings whose bodies are immaterial and existence defies all manner of sense appear and disappear in a rhythmic cycle, making reality hardly distinguishable from the horrors brought forth by their broken imagination. In the eyes of the insane, reality is torn apart at every second, and their imaginary horrors find themselves serving as their eternal companions as Madness slowly, but surely, takes over their shattered minds.

Constructs of Madness
The Constructs of Madness are incomprehensible beings that haunt those afflicted by Madness.

Description
It is unknown if they are constructs of broken minds or eldritch beings that feed upon the fears on the mad, the sorrows of those whose minds were broken by the abyss. They often appear in the corner of the eye, at times disappearing before they can even be properly seen, although all that have fallen to Madness knows their presence full well. Their eternal grin strikes terror onto the hearts of the insane, emerging from the shadows in nightmares that end in blood - their appearances leaving behind maddened, incoherent husks of men, easy prey for the monstrous beings that lurk in this eldritch place.

Behavior
The Constructs of Madness randomly appear for those that have fallen to Madness. It is impossible to interact with them in any way, and they will simply remain stationary, at times revealing some horrendous glimpse of whatever horrors they truly contain, but will not pose any direct threat. After a while, they will slowly fade into nothingness, only to reappear somewhere else, after some time passes. There Constructs of Madness can appear in three different forms:
 * Madness Heads
 * Break Illusions
 * Fake Dunwich Horrors
