Night of Revenge “HELLGATE: Descent Into Darkness” – New Version 1.2.5 [NoXeKeeper]

Info: HELLGATE is a massive Total Conversion project that fundamentally re-architects Night of Revenge from a linear action-platformer into a deep, unforgiving, and highly dynamic 2D Side-Scrolling Dark RPG.
The original world deserved far more than just surface-level mechanical tweaks. Built as a permanent architectural framework, HELLGATE transforms the familiar environments into a brutal, unpredictable sandbox where your tactical choices, your reputation, and your psychological sanity dictate whether you survive or utterly break.
Instead of just clearing linear maps and moving mechanically from one hostile zone to the next, you are thrown into a living, reactive ecosystem. Here, six warring factions clash in real-time, dynamic economies demand high-stakes risk, and a deeply integrated, mind-shattering madness system dynamically warps your entire gameplay experience. HELLGATE expands the core game into a true dark fantasy role-playing platform—built seamlessly for players seeking a harsher challenge, a deeper narrative atmosphere, and complete agency over their journey.

Installation & Launch Guide
Extraction: Extract the NightofRevenge107 folder to any drive. It is highly recommended to use a short path (e.g., C:\Games\Night of Revenge\) and avoid folders like "Desktop" or "Downloads" to ensure the mods run stably.
First Launch: Launch the game and select your preferred language from the available options.
Important Loading Note: Launching the game can take some time. Do not click or press anything after the Unity splash screen — the loading process takes about 1 to 1.5 minutes.

⚠ IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE NOTE:
Loading the game takes about 1 to 1.5 minutes due to the massive size of the mod. Once you see the Unity splash screen, do NOT click anything or press any keys. Just wait for the main menu to load completely. If you click, Windows might flag the game as “Not Responding” and crash it.

Change-Log 1.2.5 (Update)
• DeepForest Mod
Added the latest version of DeepForest Mod.
• Splash Options
New Options menu on the HellGate splash: Gore Content, Easy/Medium/Hard difficulty presets, Language, Done/Exit.
Difficulty copies both NoREroMod.cfg and NoREroMod_HellGate.cfg from BepInEx/config/{EASY|MEDIUM|HARD}/ (restart required).
Language can be changed later from Options (saves and quits; relaunch to apply).
Language/Gore preferences are preserved when switching difficulty.
• Boot Tips & Tutorial Guide
Localized loading tips during startup hydrate, then an illustrated mute video guide (Back/Pause/Forward, Done → splash) in all 10 HellGate languages.
• DeadArmor (SlaveBigAxe / OtherSlavebigAxe)
Breaking girl armor (NikuArmor) plays a PNG death clip + sound.
While armored, SlaveBigAxe grab-via-attack becomes a short hold + knockdown throw instead of an H-snap; after the armor breaks, normal grab/H return.
Gated by splash Gore Content (throw remains separately configurable).
• MeatArmor / SlaveBigAxe H
Localized H-scene dialogue for SlaveBigAxe.
After the fade/game-over path, Aradia can swap into the armored MeatArmor walk patrol (camera follow, proper escape back to combat/H).
• HellTraps
New lethal lightning button trap (lightningTrap_button): warning → strike VFX → lethal hit + CustomDeath clip if you stay on the button.
Same Gore gate as other lethal traps.
• Gore Content
Splash toggle (General.EnableGoreContent) turns DeadArmor death clips and CustomDeath lethal traps on/off.
• Difficulty Presets
Easy is much more forgiving (lower enemy/elite HP, generous QTE/struggle SP).
Medium/Hard remain the standard/hard HellGate pressure.
HP potion escape (allowPotionEasyEscape) enabled on all presets.
Shelter Attack trigger chance default set to 5%.
• DeepForest Compatibility
Fixed Take Vengeance / respawn falling into the void after saving at DeepForest altars (Woods House and related maps no longer reuse the Underground Church altar id).
• MindBroken Bad End
Minimizing / Alt+Tab during the 100% countdown no longer dumps the whole pause into one frame (no instant Bad End on restore).
• Factions / Spawn
Bandits ↔ mafia friendly; inquisition ≡ church alias; rescued hostages inherit |faction=.
Spawn lines X,Y,Key default count to 1; spawn/cache hardenings (trap_mokubaenemy from Prison, typo alias InchchurchSlave → InchurchSlave).
• Combat / H Fixes
Struggle/QTE lockouts respect vanilla easy-escape and struggle level 10 (no forced 15s unlock).
Faction AI no longer void-punches during WallHip/trap H.
blackoozetypeb can re-arm after struggle escape.
Credits list refreshed.
