Despair Mode
A Challenge mode mod that makes Madness slightly harder.Details
Despair Mode
This is a simple challenge mode mod that updates all of the Madness Corruptors to have additional effects to make the game slightly more challenging, and hopefully more fun.
Comes with several difficulties that unlock effects for the Madness corruptors, so feel free to turn down the difficulty.
Despair mode is only for the masochistic among you. It is most likely not even fun, and certainly isn't balanced. Good luck. You'll need it.
This has not been tested in multiplayer yet, so let me know if there are any issues!
