Immersive Voices: Babbler Mod for Shadows of Doubt
What is Babbler?
The “Babbler” mod enriches the Shadows of Doubt experience by making NPCs more immersive through audible speech. Whether you’re engaging in direct conversations, over the phone, or simply hearing NPCs nearby, Babbler ensures that their voices are heard. The mod offers three speech modes: Synthesis for understandable text-to-speech, Phonetic for phonetic gibberish (similar to Animal Crossing), and Droning for repetitive gibberish (similar to Undertale).
A Note On Gender Identity
Babbler goes the extra mile to create an inclusive and immersive experience by providing extensive gender identity options. While default settings align with Shadows of Doubt, players can tailor these aspects according to their preferences. The mod aims to represent everyone respectfully, fostering a diverse and authentic gaming experience. Player feedback is always welcome.
