WKSR: White Knuckle SpeedRun

Race other people up the same White Knuckle climb. Both of you get the exact same seeded world, you see each other's splits as you go, and your opponent climbs next to you as a ghost.

What you get

• Ranked races against whoever is searching, with a rating.
• Friendly lobbies: send a friend a code and race them.
• Practice: solo runs on any seed. Your best run on each seed comes back as a ghost to beat.
• WKSR, a small app that sits next to the game. It finds matches and shows your splits and results. It comes with this package and opens when the game starts.

Getting started

1. Install this package with your mod manager. BepInExPack comes with it.
2. Press Start modded. WKSR opens next to the game.
3. The first time, WKSR asks for a username. Other players will see it.
4. For ranked races, press LINK STEAM once. Steam's own page opens in your browser to confirm the account. WKSR gets your Steam ID and no other data.
5. Press FIND GAME, or SOLO to practise.

Always start the game through your mod manager or WKSR's LAUNCH GAME button. Starting it from Steam directly doesn't load mods for this game.

The rules

• One run each. No restarts.
• If you die, you lose.
• First to the top wins.
• If someone's game or connection drops, the run pauses for up to 60 seconds.

Fair seeds

Seeds are random, but the mod adjusts every race world so early-game luck doesn't decide the impact as much:

• Every Deep Storage level that can have them gets at least one food bar and one pill bottle.
• The Safe Room's experimental perk console offers Conditioned Polyphagia or Metabolic Overdrive.
• The Silo to Pipeworks interlude offers Metabolic Stasis and always has a slug grub.
• The interlude consoles before the Habitation and the Nest offer Rabbit DNA or Pulse Organ.
• A Blink Eye is for sale in the Safe Room or the Silo to Pipeworks interlude.

NOTE: A toggle will be in place to turn these features on or off.

On top of that, both racers get identical levels, items, spawns and perk cards, and everyone counts as having everything unlocked. Practice runs use the same rules.

Privacy

WKSR connects to our race server in the EU. It keeps your racer name, rating and race results, and nothing is sold or shared. The i button in WKSR shows exactly what is stored, and how to get a copy or have it deleted.

Made with AI

This mod and WKSR were built with an AI assistant: the code was generated with Claude, by Anthropic, directed and play-tested by a human. It has been tested in real races and practice runs, and backed by close to 200 automated tests. If you find something that slipped through, REPORT BUG is the fastest way to tell us.
