The Unbound Slugcat

"I was never supposed to be here."

While this mod is FUNCTIONAL, it is not currently up to the standard it WAS at prior to Watcher's release. Graphics are disabled if you have Dress My Slugcat enabled. Please disable DMS if you plan to play Unbound to his fullest!

Unbound, he / they
- Double jump by pressing jump again in the air. No other keybinds.
- Recharge is determined by ring colour
- Six pips to hibernate, one to save. This isn't meant to be an easy mod
- Entomophage (eater of bugs and meat)
- Terrible spear throw, but excellent maul
- Custom echo dialogue
- Unique overseer friend
- More, probably


Dress My Slugcat- Has special slots for jumprings. Most graphics will be disabled if DMS is enabled.
Random Buffs- If missing his tail, Unbound's cyan jumps are limited. However, NO graphics are enabled when Random Buffs is enabled (regardless of remix settings), as it completely breaks otherwise.
Expedition- Sometimes starts in different locations than usual.
Push to Meow- Has custom meows that sound similar to lizards.

Using Simplified Moveset to wall-climb may cause Unbound to launch rapidly. It's funny, so I may keep it in or make it a future remix toggle.
No known incompatibilities. If you find one, please let me know- I wish to make this mod as compatible as possible!
People in modding servers insisted I add Regionkit and CRS as dependencies. They DO help, so they will stay dependencies.

- Sometimes the game gets weird if you DON'T have More Slugcats enabled. I want to fix this, so please report any errors if you do not own the DLC!
- Sometimes this mod will ping your antivirus. This is because it finds files (used for atlases), checks if other mods are enabled (for compatibility, such as removing graphics so Random Buffs can work), and tracks keystrokes (used for Unbound's jump). If you are concerned, here is the VirusTotal log[www.virustotal.com]. If you are STILL concerned, check the Github. You can read his code any time.
- All code appears to be disabled when in any Arena gamemode. This is a basegame issue.

And a huge thank you to everyone who was and is kind enough to cheer me on!



- Backend room editing / coding
- Tweaked intro area, including revising the room palette and removing water causing a glitch
- Fixed error in intro where leaving the room would still save the den location

- I am not in a good mental place for unwarranted criticism. You don't know my life story, you don't get to complain when I don't want a million comments about how terrible my OC is under the guise of it being "criticism." Consider supporting me instead, my ko-fi is here: https://ko-fi.com/neoncityrain
- Neopronouns or "it" are also good when referring to Unbound! He wouldn't mind.
- No, it's not completed. This has been a work in progress since 2023, I find the gameplay itself more important than a cutscene you will see once, and I don't care for my own art 99% of the time. I am more focused on tuning how he interacts with the ecosystem. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
