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. Risk of Rain 2 mod

    A mod the app installs in the game folder, together with BepInEx, that applies every effect to your survivor, your inventory and the stage.

  4. Risk of Rain 2 · run

    The monster, the item or the heal reaches your run as soon as the gift arrives.

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 Risk of Rain 2 in your Steam library. If it lives somewhere else, press «Set path» in the «Game» step of the bar below and pick the folder the game is in.

  2. 2

    Install the mod in one click

    Press «Install mod» with the game closed. The app puts BepInEx, the standard mod loader for Unity games, and the OverInteractive mod in the game folder.

    If the game is open, the app asks you to close it before installing.

  3. 3

    Open the game and start a run

    Open it from Steam or with «Launch game», pick a survivor and start a run (solo or as the host).

  4. 4

    Wait for «Connected»

    The bar below switches to «Running · Connected». From then on every gift reaches your run.

  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.

Your survivor

Heal, hurt without killing, full barrier, invincible, launched into the air, random teleport, level up, swapped for another survivor… or killed outright.

Boosts and afflictions

The game's own buffs, icon included: frenzy, full crit, no cooldowns, cloak, tonic… and on the other side slow, cripple, blind, grounded, zero gravity, poison, burn and bleed.

Items and equipment

A specific item or a random one of the tier you pick, falling from the sky like out of a chest; stolen items; equipment given, swapped or fired.

Gold and coins

Gold at the stage's price, gold taken away and lunar coins.

Monsters with your name

45 of the game's monsters, from beetles to magma worms and bosses, with any elite type: the viewer's name floats over the monster and shows on the boss bar. Hordes, director waves and kill them all.

Allies and drones

Beetle guards, elder lemurians, golems and Aurelionite on your side, plus gunner, healing and missile drones and the TC-280.

Stage and run

Charge the teleporter, a Mountain Shrine, skip the stage, move the difficulty clock forward or back, slow motion, a meteor storm and chests, printers, shrines and scrappers that appear next to you.

IMPORTANT

Before you go live

Effects need a run in progress

In the menu, on character select, during loads or with the game paused nothing is applied.

Only when you are the host

In multiplayer the host runs the game: effects reach the run you host. If you join someone else's run, nothing is applied.

Summon cap

Up to 30 chat monsters at a time (3 bosses) and 12 allies. Whatever does not fit waits in a queue and appears as soon as a slot frees up: no gift is lost.

Some effects kill or cost dearly

«Kill Survivor» always does, a boss or a meteor storm can finish you and «Time Warp» raises the difficulty for the rest of the run. Put them on expensive gifts.

FAQ

A few metres from the survivor, on a valid spot of the map picked by the same director the game uses: on the ground for walkers and in the air for flyers.
