About this mod Author’s original text

mm_recomp_gloom_mode

This mod adds Gloom Mode to Majora's Mask: Recompiled!

  • Damage values are unaffected
  • Dying removes a heart permanently (you can still gain hearts as normal)
  • Double Defense essentially doubles your heart count, and gaining a new heart will also make it a Defense Heart
  • Losing all your hearts will cause the Moon to crash and reset you to the beginning of your cycle

RECOMMENDED: Delete your save file upon getting a moon crash >:)

(this will likely be added as a config option in the future)

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
