About this mod Author’s original text
Saw Tapes
Saw Tapes is a mod that adds new mini-games.
These games are triggered by a tape from which the infamous killer Jigsaw will explain the rules of the game to you.
Games
When one of the players enters the effect zone of a tape, a gas is released, causing them and other random players to faint.
The group is teleported to the dungeon's main entrance. There, the tape and, if necessary, items are made available to them.
A player must activate the tape to start the game.
Will you rise to the challenge?

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- 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.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- 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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
