🐺 About the GoodestBoy
In the deep fog of the Black Forest, where roots twist like old curses and the wind carries whispers of forgotten gods,
a lone hound wanders — frightened, hungry, and searching for a kind soul to call friend.
GoodestBoy will accept nearly any food, but his heart belongs to BestestTreats, offered by hand like a true bond between warrior and beast.

🪵 Fetch Like a True Companion
Throw the BestestBall and your hound will chase it with the joy of a pup discovering the world.
Whether he returns it… the gods alone decide.

Blow the GB_Whistle to summon your companion from the shadows.
Be warned: all hounds within earshot may answer the call.

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. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
