Allow pause menu on death

🎮 **A small tool to free up your waiting time for death! **

Have you ever been angry about a "grotesque" death, only to have to wait for a long slow-motion and settlement screen before you could load the game? This mod is for you!

✨ Core Functions

  • **Instant Pause**: After the character dies and before entering the slow motion stage of the "death" black screen, **immediately** open the game pause menu.
  • **SKIP THE WAIT**: No more enduring a full death cutscene, you can directly select "Load Game" or return to the main menu.
  • **Lightweight Script**: Only a very small script file, **zero impact** on game performance.

🎯 Usage scenarios

Imagine this:

You are fighting fiercely with the enemy on the edge of the cliff, and accidentally slip and fall... In slow motion while your body is still falling in the air, you can press the pause button and load the file and start over again! This saves you the boring wait of dozens of seconds watching the character fall to the bottom and the "death" screen pops up.

Whether you fail a mission, die unexpectedly, or want to try again quickly, this mod can greatly improve your game fluency and experience.

📝 How to use

  • Install the mod (usually just place the `.asi` or script file into a specific folder in the game directory).
  • Play normally in the game.
  • When the character dies and the screen enters the slow-motion special effect, **press the pause key directly (usually the Esc or Start key)**.
  • The familiar pause menu will appear, and you can freely choose "Load Game", "Settings" or "Exit to Main Menu".

💡 **Tips**: This mod is especially suitable for players who challenge high difficulty, often die, or like to speed pass. It can help you save a lot of precious time!

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.
