Features
This hack is the first to explore the new script-editing tools created for the randomprime patcher. As a result, edits to rooms provide much more *"dynamic" 😏* interactions with the player than in any previously released mod. It also makes use of all the usual patcher features (e.g. shuffled items/elevators/doors, quality of life improvements etc...) seen previously.

This description of features is intentionally vague; All you need to know is I spent a *lot* of time trying to make this one interesting and memorable. While this project started as a glorified shitpost, I ended up getting extremely invested and it very well be my magnum opus. I promise you have never seen anything like this.

Difficulty
This hack is intended for players who have spent a non-trivial amount of time learning the likes of the speedrun, the randomizer and other sequence-breaking runs. If you do not feel like you have a grasp on the fundamental techniques used by those kinds of runs, this hack may not be for you.
