Download for Windows Things to know first

Things To Know Before Downloading The Client

  • It downloads as a .zip, not a bare .exe.

    The site’s download feature doesn’t allow .exe files. The .zip is 3 MB and holds the .exe and a short readme. Visitors are asked to confirm before it saves.

  • Windows will probably warn people the first time.

    It may say “Windows protected your PC” because the app is new and unsigned. They click More info, then Run anyway; the website and readme explain this.

  • Requirements:

    Windows 10 or 11, the PC (Steam) version of Gorilla Tag, and Microsoft Edge, which comes with Windows. The client opens in its own Edge window.

An overlay viewers can follow

Fast games are hard to read on stream. Amethyst puts the information on screen so your audience always knows who's who and what's happening.

Player nametags

Clean, readable names above every gorilla, colored by team so taggers and runners are easy to tell apart.

Live scoreboard

Team names, round score and a round timer across the bottom of the screen, ready for comp matches and scrims.

Tag feed

See who tagged who the moment it happens, so you can call the play instead of hunting for it.

Smooth camera

Adjustable smoothing and field of view take the shake out of player movement, so your stream doesn't make anyone motion sick.

Quick player switching

Jump the camera between players in a single press when the action moves across the map.

Stream-ready output

Hide the menu with one key and capture the game window in OBS for a clean broadcast feed.

Set up in four steps

The Amethyst Client app manages your mods and launches the PC (Steam) version of Gorilla Tag. It runs on Windows 10 and 11 and is a 3 MB download.

  1. Download the client

    Click Download for Windows and unzip AmethystClient.zip anywhere you like.

  2. Open Amethyst Client

    Run AmethystClient.exe. It finds your Gorilla Tag folder on its own.

  3. Add your mods

    If it asks, install BepInEx first. Then add the Amethyst mod on the Mods page.

  4. Press Play and cast

    Launch the game from the client, join a private room and open the Amethyst menu.

Download for Windows

Windows may say it protected your PC because the app is new. Click More info, then Run anyway.

Use it in private rooms. Gorilla Tag's mod rules only allow mods in private and modded lobbies. Casting a public lobby with any mod can get your account banned.

Questions casters ask

What is a casting client?

A casting client is a spectator tool for Gorilla Tag. It gives a caster or streamer camera control and on-screen information so they can broadcast a match the way esports are shown, instead of streaming one player's headset view.

What does the Amethyst Client app do?

It shows every mod in your BepInEx plugins folder so you can turn each one on or off, lets you start the game with or without mods, and launches Gorilla Tag in one click.

Do I need to be in VR to cast?

Amethyst is controlled from your PC, so you can run cameras with a keyboard and mouse while you commentate.

Does it work on Quest standalone?

No. Mods like Amethyst need the PC version of Gorilla Tag running through Steam.

Can players see that I'm casting?

Players in the room see your gorilla like any other player's. Let them know a caster is in the lobby before the match starts.

Is it free?

Yes. Download it, set it up and start casting.

Your next match deserves a real broadcast
