The BepInEx console will not appear when launching like it does for other games on Thunderstore (you can turn it back on in your BepInEx.cfg file). If your PEAK crashes on startup, add -dx12 to your launch parameters.

ðĪŠ Hikers Hunger - A cannibal game mode!
Hikers Hunger is a 'Cannibalistc Psychosis' that plagues the island. A hysteria sometimes passed from 1 individual to the next! The only safe place is the campfire! ðïļ Gamemode made best played with a full group! For Questions, Concerns, Bugs, Appreciation Head over to the Peak Modding Discord
ð§ Features
- some time after the start of a run (configurable) a cannibal is chosen, either at random or by the host (configurable), to be a cannibal.
- The cannibal enters their pyschosis after 20 seconds (configurable).
- The cannibal will see EVERYONE else as nice yummy roasted chicken and cant eat them all!
- When a campfire is reached they enter the safe zone and cannot eat anyone within it.
- When a campfire is lit, if manual selection is enabled, then the host will chose the next cannibal; if its random selection then a new cannibal is chosen or maybe even the same player will be chosen again.
- Try and survive all the way to the PEAK without being eaten!
NEW SETTINGS
-
CustomEatTime: instead of having to press and hold the interact button for 3 seconds to eat the player, you can change the amount of time. Allowing you to make it shorter, longer or practically instant. The default config is for instant eating. This setting must be enabled with EnableCustomEatTime for it to work.
-
ConstantCannibal: the player chosen after run start will be cannibal forever!
-
ManualCannibalSelection: now allows the host to use a GUI to manually click on a players name in the list to choose who the cannibal will be.
