✨ Core Functions

By changing Unity's global time scaling variable, you can freely control the speed of the game:

  • ⚡ **SPEED GAMEPLAY** - Quickly skip repetitive cutscenes
  • 🐌 **Slow Down Game** - Slow down and enjoy every detail
  • ⏱️ **Optional Timer Scaling** - Adjust in-game timers as needed

🎯 Usage scenarios

Especially suitable for the following situations:

  • Scripted cutscenes sped up on repeat playthroughs
  • The scene at the beginning of the game where the wasp is weak and walking slowly
  • Any time you want to adjust the pace of your game

⌨️Default control keys

  • **Period key** → Toggle time scaler
  • **1 key** → Decrease target time scaling by increment value
  • **2 key** → Increase target time scaling by increment value
  • **3 key** → reset target time zoom to 1x speed
  • **F5** → Reload configuration file from disk

⚙️ Custom settings

The default multiple is 4x speed, you can adjust it in the following ways:

  • Press F1 to open the BepInEx configuration menu
  • Edit configuration file: `Hollow Knight Silksong/BepInEx/config/com.Wagyu.SkongTimeScaler.cfg`
  • Setting a value less than 1 can make the game run slower

📥 Installation Guide

  • Install BepInEx
  • Unzip the Silksong Time Scaler.zip file
  • Extract the "BepInEx" folder to the root directory of "Hollow Knight: Silk Song"
  • Done!
⚠️ **Note**: Although no issues have been found so far, using custom time scaling may cause unexpected behavior, so please use it with caution.

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.
