Seasonal Events

Seasonal Events are scripted events that happen when the system clock is set to a specific date. Events only change the game cosmetically by adding appropriate headwear to all enemies and changing the main menu's music and subtitle. The background images of intermission cutscenes and [ 2-S: ALL-IMPERFECT LOVE SONG ] are also altered, adding headwear to characters present in them as well.

Notably, these events begin in real-time, rather than on game startup or level start; the moment the system time reaches a valid seasonal date, enemies will begin to spawn with the appropriate headwear.

Halloween[]

If the system clock is set from October 25th to October 31st, all enemies in the game (and V1) will have a glowing pumpkin placed on their head (or whatever equivalent of a head they have). Skulls will also be replaced with pumpkins, although their functionality will remain the same. Due to the glow that pumpkins emit, dark levels such as [ 0-S: SOMETHING WICKED ] or [ 4-3: A SHOT IN THE DARK ] will become much easier.

The main menu's "EARLY_ACCESS READY" text will disappear, and the text "HAPPY HALLOWEEN" will appear below it, as well as its music being played by spooky organs.

Christmas[]

If the system clock is set from December 22nd, 12:12 AM to December 28th, all enemies and skulls in the game (and V1) will wear red Santa hats.

The main menu's "-- EARLY ACCESS --" text will be replaced with "-- MERRY CHRISTMAS --", as well as its music getting additional Christmas cheer in its instrumentation with bell instruments.

Easter[]

If the system clock is set from Good Friday to Easter Sunday (changing every year), all enemies and skulls in the game will wear pink bunny ears.

The main menu's "-- EARLY ACCESS --" text will be replaced with "-- HAPPY EASTER --", as well as its music becoming much faster and overall more cheerful for the duration of the event.
