Cursed Comedy Mask

A cursed comedy mask for Lethal Company. Wear it to become invisible to all monsters - but a 60-second death timer starts ticking, and you can no longer speak. Pass the mask to another player to transfer the curse - the timer continues where it left off!

Features

The Cursed Mask

• Monster Invisibility: While wearing the mask, ALL monsters ignore you completely
• 60-Second Death Timer: A visible countdown appears on screen - when it reaches zero, you die
• No Voice Chat: Your microphone is muted while wearing the mask - you cannot communicate
• Hot Potato Transfer: Drop the mask and let another player pick it up - the timer transfers with the remaining time!
• Buyable in Shop: Purchase from the terminal (configurable price, default: 80 credits)
• Spawns as Scrap: Also found as loot on all moons (configurable rarity)

Visual Effects

• Mask on Head: The comedy mask appears on the player's face, visible to all players
• Glowing Green Eyes: The mask's eyes emit an eerie green glow
• Dark Smoke: Green-tinted smoke swirls around the wearer's head
• Screen Vignette: Green tint at screen edges, turns red and pulses when time is low
• Death Explosion: When the timer runs out, dark green smoke explosion + screen shake

Audio Effects

• Heartbeat Sound: Procedural heartbeat that gets faster and louder as time runs out
• Pitch Increase: Heartbeat pitch accelerates dramatically in the final seconds

HUD

• Timer Display: Large red timer at the top of the screen showing remaining time
• "CURSED" Label: Green text indicator while mask is active
• Pulsing Warning: Timer text grows larger and flashes orange/red below 10 seconds

Controller Support

• Full Gamepad Support: All interactions work with keyboard AND controller
• Interact Button: Curse transfer uses the game's native Interact input (E on keyboard, X/Square on controller)

Multiplayer

• All players need the mod installed for full experience

Installation

Manual

1. Install BepInEx 5.4.21+
2. Install LethalLib
3. Copy the CursedMaskMod folder into BepInEx/plugins/
4. The folder should contain:
   • CursedMaskMod.dll
   • cursedmaskbundle

How It Works

1. Find or buy the Cursed Mask
2. Pick it up - the mask attaches to your face
3. You are now invisible to all monsters - walk past them freely!
4. But your voice chat is muted and a 60-second timer starts
5. When the timer reaches zero, you die in a green smoke explosion
6. To survive: drop the mask before the timer runs out
7. If another player picks it up, they inherit the remaining time
8. The mask resets to 60 seconds after someone dies
