⚠️ Known issues
Animation direction problem
- **Animations in the front and rear directions may be incorrect** - When killing from behind, the front-facing ending animation will sometimes be played.
- *This is a limitation of the animations available in the game and cannot be fixed at the moment*
Blunt instrument test
- **Non-lethal weapons have not been fully tested** - The terminal effects of blunt and other non-lethal weapons require further validation
- *If you are pursuing a non-fatal kill, it is recommended to use strangulation directly*

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
