Saw Tapes

Saw Tapes is a mod that adds new mini-games. These games are triggered by a tape from which the infamous killer Jigsaw will explain the rules of the game to you.

Games

When one of the players enters the effect zone of a tape, a gas is released, causing them and other random players to faint. The group is teleported to the dungeon's main entrance. There, the tape and, if necessary, items are made available to them. A player must activate the tape to start the game

Will you rise to the challenge?

Survival Game

• Monsters progressively spawn and hunt the players
• The players must survive until the time runs out
• A special item (Pursuer Eye) can be used to teleport a monster to another distant player
• These items spawn throughout the dungeon and disappear once the game ends
• The game is won if a player escapes alive

Hunting Game

• Each player wears a Reverse Bear Trap on their head, which activates after a certain amount of time
• A key is needed to remove the device, and it is hidden inside one or more monsters
• Each player must defeat one of these monsters and retrieve the key before time runs out
• There is only one monster per participant, so choose wisely to avoid conflicting with another player
• The game is won if a player escapes alive

Escape Game

• Two players are chained together and must progress while avoiding traps
• The spawn probability for each trap is configurable and you can add or remove traps as desired (traps from other mods can be used; configurations for traps from 'Code Rebirth' are included by default)
• If one of the players dies, the second is no longer chained to anything and can move freely, making it easier for them to reach the saw
• A saw awaits at the end of the path and at least one player must reach it to win
• The saw becomes visible throught the walls when players get close enough to it and can be teleported using the secondary action key
• If no player reaches the saw before time runs out, everyone dies
• The game is won if a player escapes alive
• The saw can be used to one-shot any non-immortal creature, but has only 3 uses (configurable)

Explosive Game

• One of the players is randomly given a bomb with a countdown timer
• The timer ranges between 15 and 30 seconds and resets each time the bomb is passed to another player
• If the timer runs out or the bomb is dropped on the ground, it explodes — with a blast radius larger than a standard landmine
• The objective is to deliver the bomb to a containment unit before it detonates
• When the bomb is passed, the receiving player is slowed for a few seconds and cannot immediately pass it back
• The game is lost if no one survives. But those without the bomb must decide: help… or watch from a safe distance, and let another take the fall
• Once the bomb is placed inside the container, additional time is added to the global countdown, and players are given two options:
  • Interact with the container again to end the game immediately
  • Search for a key to defuse the bomb and keep it as a powerful reward
• Players have only 20 seconds to make this decision. After that, finding the key becomes mandatory
• The key is carried by a Hoarding Bug that spawns nearby and begins fleeing toward its distant nest
• Both the creature and the key emit visible auras for 30 seconds (configurable)
• No shovel is provided, but the key can be stolen directly from the creature’s hands — at the risk of enraging it
• To defuse the bomb and win the reward, the player holding the key must interact with the container
• Once defused, the bomb becomes an item that can be attached to any enemy — even those normally invulnerable
• After attaching the bomb, a countdown starts. Move away quickly to avoid being caught in the explosion

Subtitles configurations

The 'ST.subtitles.json' file is created when the game is launched (if they don't already exist), and you can find it in the 'config' folder.

This file allows you to change the subtitles: 'timestamp' is the field that corresponds to the moment when the sentence is displayed on the screen according to the recording duration of the tape and 'text' is the sentence displayed.
