🔧 Features
- Some time after the start of a run (configurable) a cannibal is chosen, either at random or by the host (configurable), to be a cannibal.
- The cannibal enters their pyschosis after 60 seconds (configurable).
- The cannibal will see EVERYONE else as nice yummy roasted chicken, and can eat them all!
- When a campfire is reached, they enter the safe zone, and cannot eat anyone within it.
- When a campfire is lit, if manual selection is enabled, the host will chose the next cannibal; if it's random selection, then a new cannibal is chosen or maybe even the same player will be chosen again.
- Try and survive all the way to the PEAK without being eaten!
NEW SETTINGS
- Only Lit Campfire Safety Only: While true, campfires are only considered safezones while they're actively lit, as opposed to constantly.

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:
