INTRODUCTION
Like the official safe mode for SOMA and its predecessor the Wuss Mode mod, this add-on for Amnesia Rebirth allows players to explore the world at their own pace without the fear of Tasi losing her mind and running off into the darkness. Enemies can no longer 'kill' you but will still behave in an aggressive manner if provoked, and although your sanity will still drain you will no longer 'die' if it runs out.
After completing Amnesia Rebirth I wanted to explore the world without having to worry about monsters or my sanity running out. Although I mainly made this mod for my own benefit I hope other people can find enjoyment in it as well.
While the official adventure mode is a much better option for those who wish to simply explore the world, this mod provides a middle-ground for those who wish to play at a slower pace without entirely removing the horror elements from the game.
If you haven't already played the main game, I'd encourage you to do so as this mod will not be in line with the developers original vision.
FEATURES
General
-Although your sanity will still drain, nothing happens when it is completely depleted apart from the usual effects and sounds.
-If you lose a struggle QTE, your character will simply fall to the ground and get back up.
Ghouls
-Movement speed decreased by around 50%
-If a ghoul spots you, it will slowly start moving towards you in a threatening manner
-If you get too close it will pick you up and throw you away
-This applies to Leon and any other characters who share the ghoul AI
Wraiths
-Movement speed decreased by 50%
-If caught in it's searchlight, it will scream and start slowly moving towards the player.
-If you get to close it will start the struggle QTE. If you lose it or get caught again, it will simply pick you up and throw you to the ground.
DISCLAIMER
As I am still trying to work out the nuances of the enemy AI scripts there will likely be some bugs however nothing that should break the game. While I fully intend to polish and update this mod, I am wary of investing too much effort due to the possibility of an official safe mode being released some time in the future. Please report any bugs and leave suggestions in the comments.
This mod is no longer in development and I do not intend to release any further updates as I feel that it fills its intended role just fine in its current state. Please continue to report any major bugs however and I'll address them whenever I can.

Recent changes to my real life circumstances mean that going forward I will be likely quitting gaming all-together in order to focus on the more important things in life. Consequently this means I will no longer be updating or supporting my mods for SOMA and Amnesia Rebirth.
As of December 2021, all my mods should be working with the current versions of their respective games at the time. As we saw with the Chinese update it's not totally impossible that FG will release a micro-update that ruins everything and in the event of this happening it's likely that certain mods (Especially Mavs Hard Mode) will stop working.
As a result of this, all my mods are now completely open source. Modify them, re-upload them, continue working on them or even steal them and call it your own work. No need to ask permission or even credit me as I won't be monitoring the ModDB or workshop pages anyway.
The exception to this will be the later versions of Cutting Room Floor: Omicron that contain the restored patchwork man as this was done by another author, "Random Person" who you can contact on the Frictional Games Discord for permissions.

Is there an update for this? Game crashes after the loading screen with this error:
FATAL ERROR: Could not load the script for 'MenuHandler'
'custom/modules/MenuHandler.hps'

Hi, apologies for the late reply. I have uploaded the fixed version of the mod to the files section. Seems I had updated the steam version but forgot about ModDB. Hopefully it now works without issue.
I think the Ghouls are too slow. When the first Ghoul comes through the door to you and you just wait for him. It looks like he will never reach you when coming closer. This is a bit too much.
You also removed these annoying death animations with the stupid jump-scares?
When I get killed, the screen just turns black and stays that way.
V1.1 uploaded to the files section this should fix the issue.
Mav__ Hello can you explain me how to release a format like custom story from level editor Rebirth? it just save it as only .hps format.
Hey mate, although it is incomplete the HPL3 wiki is a good place to start. It has all the information you need to get started as well as helpful tutorials for other aspects of modding. You should also join the official friction games discord as well as there are helpful modding channels where you can ask the community about any questions you have.
