Scarab is a Windows-based mod manager developed by fifty-six that streamlines the installation, updating, and removal of community-created modifications for Team Cherry’s 2017 action-adventure title Hollow Knight. Designed for players who want to expand the base game with new areas, gameplay tweaks, quality-of-life improvements, or total conversions, the utility replaces the manual file-copying process with an automated workflow: users browse an indexed repository, select desired mods, and let Scarab resolve dependencies, download packages, and inject them into the correct folders without altering original game assets. The interface presents installed mods in a sortable list where individual items can be toggled on or off, reordered to satisfy load-order rules, or uninstalled cleanly, thereby reducing conflicts and easing troubleshooting. Built-in profiles allow enthusiasts to maintain separate mod configurations for different play-throughs or speed-running categories, while version-locking prevents accidental updates that might break a stable setup. Since its initial release, the program has evolved through three public versions; the current stable build, 2.6.0.0, introduces incremental fixes for .NET 6 compatibility and tighter integration with the popular ModInstaller backend. Although Scarab is specialized for Hollow Knight, its lightweight architecture and open-source codebase have made it a reference within the mod-manager category for indie titles that rely on Unity engine assemblies. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
