A GIFT'S JOURNEY

How a gift reaches the game

Four stops, in under a second.

  1. A viewer sends a gift

    From TikTok, Twitch, Kick, YouTube or Starvios: a gift, a follow, likes or a chat command.

  2. OverInteractive

    Receives the event, checks your active profile for the matching effect and sends it.

  3. Hades II mod

    A mod the app installs in the game folder. It receives every gift while the game is open from the app.

  4. Hades II · during a run

    The effect shows up in your run in real time: enemies in the room, empty magick or a swapped weapon.

STEP BY STEP

Getting started

Everything happens from the game's status bar, at the bottom of the app.

  1. 1

    The app finds your game

    It detects your Steam copy of Hades II on its own. If it lives in another folder, pick it with «Set path» in the bar below.

  2. 2

    Install the mod in one click

    Press «Install mod» with the game closed. The app drops the mod in the game folder and adds one line at the end of a game file so it loads, keeping a copy of the original first. No other mod loader needed.

  3. 3

    Open it with «Launch game»

    This step is required: the mod only connects if the app opens Hades II. Opened from Steam or a shortcut, the game runs normally but without effects.

    Opened from the app, the game keeps running even when you switch to OBS or chat.

  4. 4

    Wait for «Connected»

    A few seconds after it opens, already on the title screen, the bar below switches to «Running · Connected».

  5. 5

    Choose what each gift does

    In «Profiles» create an example one in a click or build your own: each gift, follow or chat command fires the effect you pick.

EFFECTS

What your chat can do

Each effect is assigned to a gift, a follow, likes or a chat command.

Enemies

Whispers, Lamias, Lycaons, Satyr Hoplites, automatons, Sky-Dracons and hordes from any region. Plus clearing the room, freezing time or double damage.

Melinoë

Heal, hurt, raise max health, Death Defiance, invulnerable, faster or slower, no dash or super dash.

Magick

Refill or drain magick, raise max magick, unlimited magick for a while or charge the Hex.

Boons

A random boon, Pom of Power, rarity upgrade… or strip them all.

Weapons

Forced swap to the Witch's Staff, Sister Blades, Umbral Flames, Moonstone Axe, Argent Skull or Black Coat.

Economy

Gold rain or take gold, and give Bones, Ashes, Psyche, Moon Dust, Nectar or Ambrosia.

Screen

Shake, zoom, slow motion, tints, blur, no HUD or frozen controls for a few seconds.

IMPORTANT

Before you go live

Always open it from the app

The mod can only talk to the app if the app is the one opening Hades II. From Steam or a shortcut, the game works but no effect gets through.

At the Crossroads, they wait

Almost every effect needs a run in progress. Whatever arrives while Melinoë is at the Crossroads is queued and applied when the next run starts, one per second.

Unlocked weapons only

Weapon swaps only use the Nocturnal Arms you already have. If chat asks for one you haven't unlocked, that effect is dropped instead of gifting it to you.

After updating Hades II

If Steam updates or verifies the game, it may remove the line that loads the mod. If it stops connecting, press «Reinstall mod» in the ⋯ menu of the bar below.

FAQ

It copies the mod into the game folder and adds one line to a file to load it, keeping a copy of the original. It installs no third-party loader and you can remove it from the app.
