If you don't know what Deus Ex Randomizer is, then here's our trailer which shows a breakdown of how it works:
Here's a trailer for WaltonWare mode. WaltonWare mode is focused on quick wins by completing a single bingo line, and increasing difficulty after every win. The bingo goals are all scaled to their minimum settings and you start in a random area. All bingo goals will be completable within just a few maps!
See the full README here. Also check out our Discord and Mods4Ever.com
Major Changes

EDIT: This has been hotfixed in v3.2.1, along with a new tweak for the Halloween modes!
Turns out the lighting was a bit dark for some people, and since during October the cosmetics affect the regular randomizer modes too, we will be releasing a hotfix soon. For now remember that you can use the flashlight without any energy cost, and you can also increase the Brightness Boost settings in the Rando->Visuals menu. You can also disable the memes setting entirely in Rando->Gameplay.
