Developed by dedicated members of the modding community (primarily leveraging tools like UE4SS for Unreal Engine 4), the multiplayer mod is a client-side and server-side injection.

• Climax: players assemble the device under a timer while the Neighbor isolates the last player; a coordinated distraction allows escape or fails dramatically — emergent storytelling complete.
