[+] CORE GAMEPLAY MECHANICS:

• Escape Methods (STAGGER vs KILL): Choose whether escaping staggers the infected away or kills them instantly.
• Dual Input Modes (HOLD vs MASH): Hold shove for steady progression, or tap shove for a QTE rush.
• Incapacitated Struggle: Downed survivors can fight back! Break free while downed instead of waiting to die.
• Solo Mode (Optional): Enable struggle only when you are the last survivor standing.
• Autonomous Bots: Customize toggles, methods, general durations, per-SI durations (e.g. Nick vs Hunter), and incap struggle for all 8 survivors individually.
• Difficulty Scaling (Optional): Bot struggle speeds automatically scale with game difficulty (Easy to Expert). Can be toggled on or off.
• Self-Damage Sacrifice (Optional): Optional health penalty sacrificed when breaking free (0-100 HP, 0 = disabled).
• 13 Languages: 100% native translations with high-contrast color formatting across all UI, commands, and hints.
