About this mod Machine translation

Every life matters now! This mod gives Henry a certain amount of health. When he loses his last life, the entire game save will be deleted and you will have to restart the game.

permadeath

💀 **Every life matters now! ** This mod introduces a hardcore, configurable health system to the game.

🎯 Core Mechanism

Henry starts with a limited amount of health:

  • Each death consumes one life
  • When losing your last life, your current game save will be permanently deleted
  • Have to start a new game from scratch

⚙️Technical Notes

Due to Lua limitations, the core logic runs in an external DLL:

  • DLL automatically starts with the game
  • Monitor specific events in the "kcd.log" file
  • Delete game saves when needed

⚠️ **Compatibility Warning**:

This mod is incompatible with mods that modify the following files:

  • Libs/UI/GameOver.gfx
  • Libs/UI/UIElements/GameOver.xml

🌟 Main functions

  • 🔧 **Configurable Number of Lives** - Customize Henry's starting health
  • 🎮 **Multiple Mode Selection** - base death only or all game over situations
  • 🛡️ **Fall Damage Protection** - Optionally disable health loss from fall damage
  • 💾 **Existing Save Protection** - Option to not enable mods for existing saves
  • 🌍 **Multi-language support** - Supports all in-game languages

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. 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.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. 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.
