As the name suggests, this is the mod loader for Into the Breach. It is a collection of lua scripts and DLL files, which provide a framework that loads mods and empowers them with additional features. It works with both Steam and DRM-free version of the game.
The mod loader only supports Windows systems. There's no plan for Mac, Linux, or Switch support at the moment. This can change in the future with help from the game's developers, or an experienced C++ programmer to alter the DLLs.
