Cat QuestArchipelago randomizer mod

Compatibility notes

• The guide specifically requires the English-language, 32-bit Steam game. The documented GOG, Epic and Amazon editions are 64-bit and are not substitutes for this setup.
• Install BepInEx 5 x86, version 5.4.20 or later, launch once, then extract the mod ZIP's contents directly beside Cat Quest.exe. Do not install BepInEx 6 or use the x64 loader.
• Use game mod 0.3.1-alpha with APWorld 0.3.0-alpha. The world lists Archipelago 0.6.4 as its minimum, but its prerelease suffix is not a valid numeric world_version for newer manifest validation; expect a warning rather than treating the metadata as modernized.
• Only one game save is available. Starting a new Archipelago adventure permanently replaces the previous save unless you back it up yourself; this is not a multi-slot save manager.
• If the installation has never saved a game, play until the first vanilla save, return to the menu and choose New Game again. The Archipelago start button appears through that flow or New Game+; enter room information there.
• Continue reconnects to the previously used slot. The mod also stores room information and its received-item index locally; do not publish the RoomInfo.json file because it can contain the room password.
• Disabling quest experience can create substantial grinding, especially for level-99 goals. Prefer the main-story goal with quest rewards enabled for a first run.
• No DeathLink option is exposed by this APWorld. Windows is the established 32-bit mod route; macOS Steam availability and generic loader instructions are not proof of macOS or Proton integration support.
• The project remains alpha and public issue creation is restricted. These source and documentation checks do not establish compatibility with every future game update or an independently completed Panludia playthrough.
