Obeliskial Options
This is an Across the Obelisk mod that contains a number of options to alter gameplay.
Broadly speaking, this mod makes the game easier; I encourage you to try harder madness levels, corruption modifiers and personal challenges to re-balance the game.
Should be multiplayer-friendly, though all players must have the mod. The host’s settings will override other players’ for options in the below tables with MP Override = true.
