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. Pawned Souls mod

    The app installs a mod loader (BepInEx) and the OverInteractive mod in the game folder. The mod uses the game's own shop, health and pieces.

  4. Pawned Souls

    The effect lands mid-match and an on-screen notice says who sent it.

STEP BY STEP

Getting started

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

  1. 1

    Locate Pawned Souls

    Since it isn't on Steam, press «Set up» in the bar below. The wizard looks for it with «Detect automatically» or you pick the folder that holds Pawned Souls.exe with «Choose folder…».

    If you downloaded the ZIP from itch.io, extract it first: the wizard needs the folder with Pawned Souls.exe.

  2. 2

    Prepare the mod

    With the game closed, in the wizard's «Prepare the mod» step press «Install» on the BepInEx loader and then on the OverInteractive mod. No original file is touched.

  3. 3

    Open Pawned Souls

    Press «Launch game» in the wizard or the bar, or open it as usual. The first time after installing it takes longer to start: the loader prepares its files once.

  4. 4

    Wait for «Connected»

    When the game finishes loading, the bar below switches to «Connected». Effects land as soon as you start a level.

  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.

Help the pawn

Full heal, healing flasks, souls for the shop, invincibility, infinite stamina, stunning every piece and destroying enemy pieces.

Upgrades and gear

Free damage, health, stamina, speed, souls, shield and roll upgrades, or a random one, plus the Gold Sword, the Crimson Sword and the special shield.

Enemies

Spawns pawns, knights, bishops and rooks on the board, fighting like the level's own, and heals wounded pieces.

IMPORTANT

Before you go live

Only inside a level

Effects act on the board and the pawn: in the menu, on a loading screen or after a checkmate they wait for the match to start.

The first launch is slower

The first time you open the game after installing, the mod loader generates its files and takes much longer than usual. Don't close it: after that it starts as normal.

The levels' pieces

Pawns, knights, bishops and rooks spawn in Path to Queendom and The Kings Gambit. The tutorial only has pawns, so the rest don't show up there.

Not on Steam

The app can't find it in your library: the wizard locates it the first time. If you move the game folder, locate it again from the bar below.

FAQ

Yes. Pawned Souls is a free download from itch.io and OverInteractive is free too.
