If you've played this game so much that "Hardcore" is already a walk on the beach for you, this is what you're looking for.
This difficulty imitates the one from "The Evil Within" and "The Evil Within 2". In case you haven't played any of those games, I'll explain it.
One hit, and you are dead.
Enjoy!

Things you must know
1. This mod works for any difficulty, any game mode.
2. A few enemies, like G's or Lickers, won't execute their death animation when they grab you, but you'll die anyway.
3. If you play Kendo's minigame, you won't die if you get poisoned by zombies (because there is not an animation for that), but the game will react like you're dead, and you won't be able to progress.
4. Once you activate the mod, there is no way to deactivate it unless you close the game, so be careful!
