Known scope and limitations

• This review covers mod release 0.1.2 and its bundled World. The game is available on Windows and macOS, but this integration listing covers the documented Windows installation; macOS compatibility was not established.
• Install BepInEx 5.4.23.2 and copy the mod ZIP into the game directory. Launch once to create the configuration, close the game, then set ConnectionList and ActiveSlot before restarting. The guide lacks a complete standalone APWorld generation walkthrough.
• Avoid the challenge setting for this release: the World has no matching branch through its After cogs transition, leaving later locations logically inaccessible even with all items.
• A Deafness Trap is always included in the item pool and permanently disables game audio. No game-specific opt-out is provided.
• Full item resynchronization can reapply previously received effects. No automatic reconnect lifecycle is provided by the mod; a failed synchronous check send can also leave a game hook waiting.
• Save paths are separated by server seed and slot, but the seed suffix is not sanitized. Room passwords are stored as ordinary configuration text. Use an explicit wss:// address when supported and remove credentials before sharing configuration.
• The World models completion on reaching its late-game region, while the client signals the white-screen ending. An exact final-ascent logic model is not established.
• The inspected distributions contain integration code and identified libraries, with no complete game assembly or audiovisual asset payload found. Package notices and reproducible build instructions remain incomplete; no game execution was performed.
