Control Resonant Hardcore Mode features permanent death and double damage for Leit. Unlock via completion or cheat code.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    In Hardcore Mode, Leit takes double damage.
  2. 2
    Death is permanent; on game over, the game must be restarted from the beginning.
  3. 3
    The signpost nearest to where Leit wakes up on the beach is changed to explain the rules of Hardcore Mode.
  4. 4
    An additional shortcut is available through the Timbre Woods.
  5. 5
    At the stream with two bridges (the topmost leads to the picnic spot), the stream leading north is passable, cutting off much of the woods. This makes Hardcore Mode theoretically faster to speedrun.
  6. 6
    The end screen displays when the game was played in Hardcore Mode.
  7. 7
    A different final music track plays at the end of the game.
Tips
  • Be aware that death is permanent and requires restarting the entire game.
  • Utilize the Timbre Woods shortcut to potentially speed up your playthrough.
