Dead or School Cheats (Debug Console)

Instructions on how to open the in-game debug tools and how to use them.

Introduction

These tools are intended for debugging & testing the game, they aren’t meant for end-users in order for your rescue file gets corrupted or your game crashes, please do not bother the programmer with the issues.

This manual isn’t complete, it just covers the fundamental operation of the debug UI. I might add more later but considering the game is in early access along with the debug UI might be removed from the last version I do not think that it’s well worth the effort.

Launch Options

To enable debug mode, a launch option needs to be added.

• In Steam, right-click the game and select Properties
• Click “SET LAUNCH OPTIONS…”
• enter “_debug_on” into the text box

Using the Debug Console

Now that you have debug enabled you can use the following shortcuts by pressing numbers on the numpad.

0: Reset (resets any of the debug options you have chosen)
1: Invincibility
2: Full Heal (gives you full health & stamina)
3: Super Speed (makes you attack/ run/ jump/ dodge really fast)
4: Damage (damages your health slightly)
5: Down (insta kills you)
6: Quick Save
7: Unlimited Jump (gives you unlimited double jumps)
8: Attack Up (gives you a huge attack power boost)
9: Warp (instantly returns you home)

And then with ctrl + numpad number

1: Res Enemies (respawns all enemies)
2: Kill Enemies (kills all enemies)
4: Money (gives you some more money)
5: Customise (opens the weapon customise screen from anywhere)
7: Level Up (gives you a lot of experience)
8: Restore Weapons (gives you full ammo and full durability)
9: Teleport (will teleport you to where your mouse cursor is)

The most useful alternative is ctrl + 9 for helping out when something goes wrong. . I dropped through the ground in a few areas and I’d have had to reload to continue playing.

If you’re having trouble figuring out where your cursor is you can enable an option to always display the cursor in the options menu.
