About this mod Author’s original text

True Steelsoul mode

Have you ever found yourself playing Steelsoul mode and at the slightest inconvenience (almost dying) you pushed the pause button and returned to the main menu? Or hit Alt+F4 in sheer panic? With this mod such blasphemy can happen no more!

Features

  • Makes the "Return to Menu" button unusable while in battle
  • Ends your Steelsoul run if you exit the game during battle (e.g. via Alt+F4)
  • Turns you into a true gamer who will never back down from a real challenge

You are considered to be in battle if you have taken damage in the past 10 seconds or have 3 or fewer masks remaining.

Warning! This mod can end your Steelsoul run if you ignore the rules!

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
