🔧 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 20 seconds (configurable).
- The cannibal will see EVERYONE else as nice yummy roasted chicken and cant 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, then the host will chose the next cannibal; if its 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
- CustomEatTime: instead of having to press and hold the interact button for 3 seconds to eat the player, you can change the amount of time. Allowing you to make it shorter, longer or practically instant. The default config is for instant eating. This setting must be enabled with EnableCustomEatTime for it to work.
- ConstantCannibal: the player chosen after run start will be cannibal forever!
- ManualCannibalSelection: now allows the host to use a GUI to manually click on a players name in the list to choose who the cannibal will be.

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:
