In this save file, I have only killed the Watcher. Reloading it doesn’t seem to bring it back at all. I don’t remember it taking damage, but I may have had my sound off at the time. I don’t want to impose, as this is very much your game, but maybe you could install an update that shows how much health your lights have? Maybe even a method of repairing them? (Also, this new world also has the same problem of enemies and bosses not appearing in the codex)

I beat the game and got all the pearls - it was a very fun experience! My only confusion is in regards to the dialogue.

But otherwise, it was a great game!

I started a new world, and it seems my tower has despawned. It’s still showing up as on the map, but it is gone

Since I keep writing comments, I’ve decided to limit them to replies under this comment. I will henceforth be calling them “Elfie’s Research Notes”, discussing what I’ve found in the game so far. I will be using the spoiler tag so as to prevent future spoils.

Oh my gosh, I can see the world now!!!!! I had no idea I was missing any of that, that's so cool!!! Maybe now I can finally figure out what the boss items do XD

Has anyone discovered the map yet? I've been playing for several weeks at this point, and I haven't been able to figure out where/how to get it. I'm sure I'm just not putting the pieces together in my brain, but it's genuinely puzzling me.

My bases certainly won't be happy with the new monster spawn system, but I sure am. Thank you for the update! I will let you know new glitches as I find them!

Okay, after doing some experimenting, it seems this glitch was only happening in my swamp furnace? I went to a different furnace and it works fine now! (Also, there seems to be a glitch where monster noises will keep repeating after they're dead? It's only happened with the newest update, though)

Yes, I was! I'll experiment getting closer, but I was able to craft the other furnace-exclusive items from the same distance.

I got all the materials for the Void Sword and it won't let me craft it :(

Update: I have figured out how to get more dark aura creatures!!!

Turns out I wasn't far-off with my "limit on potential spawning" theory two weeks back. If you run away from an enemy and it vanishes, the game still holds that enemy in a kind of stasis storage but - and here's the part that's strange - the enemy only "exists" somewhere near the spot it first appeared. If you exceed the maximum amount of stored enemies, the game will stop spawning new ones, leaving you free to run around (but ultimately dark aura-less).

Unfortunately, in order to solve this issue, I had to open the debug menu using the "`"/"~" key. In that menu, you can see how many enemies are currently stored in quantum space, ready to appear the next time a new space is uncovered. The enemy that will appear is limited to whatever biome you're in (or nearby), and since each of the lil desert sprite thingies count as their own enemy, they fill up the enemy total real quick. If your home base is near a large stretch of desert/wasteland biome, consider venturing into that area more to do some spring cleaning, and lowering the total enemies count in the world. You'll know you're doing it right if at random points in the game the total monster count goes up by one, which means you're about to see a new monster!

Once you have new monsters spawning, I advise moving to the patch of void that is most convenient to you, and do the usual quantum pacing strategy. Sometimes you will get the other ghosts/spirit/thingies spawning, just remember to dispatch them as they arise. Rinse and repeat, and you should eventually find the dark aura creatures! 

Happy hunting, everyone. This is Elfie, signing off! :D

Notes on new update (will edit as I find new things):

-Crops do not stay upon reopening the game

-Going to and from full screen removes the ability to see what's in your hand inventory. One way I've found to get it back is by catching a fish

-The spawn rate of dark aura-dropping monsters seems very low. I had found three within my first 20 minutes, but 2 hours later, I've still yet to find another

I reached 50 prestige points, but I can't seem to get to Johto? Where to I go to advance to the next region?

I think the little quantum campsites are despawning after a certain amount? I came back into the game, and where I had put my lights they were gone (light still there, but the campsite is gone). Maybe I've simply explored so much of the map that there can only be a certain amount of those campsites at a time? No clue when this started happening, but I think I'm gonna avoid exploring too far for now, just to be safe. Collecting resources is satisfying enough, as is.

Learn from my mistakes: 

1. Do not play without a mouse

2. Do not go behind the ringed planet, there is nothing there. The doors will still be there once you complete a rotation, but it is not worth it.

I think the Cleric fight may be too difficult as it is. Maybe I missed some upgrade farther back, or maybe this is simply a skill issue, but I cannot dodge the Cleric's attacks in time. If there is a trick to this fight, like the Landlord before it, I haven't been able to find it. 

When the game is updated, will the saves remain? I really enjoy playing this game, and even though I can't progress anymore past this point, I still want to keep making more light totems and explore the world. If I do that, will that progress save over to the next update? Thank you for making such an awesome game - I eagerly await the next update! :D

I ask that there be a separate control available to rotate objects, please! I do not have a mouse, so right clicking at the same time as dragging is not possible for me. Maybe the Q and E keys could be used to rotate? Thank you!

This game is great, with an awesome atmosphere and nice pixel art. The only complaint I have is that whenever the shadow hands appear, my game glitches out, freezing it in a black screen where it can't be interacted with; leaving me with no choice but to refresh the game and start from the beginning. (Also, there was one textbox in the library that was stuck in Russian, so I hope it wasn't too important) Other than that, I loved it, and would like to see more of this game!

Art style is great, but the puzzles are far too confusing. In the first room alone there are (from what I've found so far) three sets of two numbers, and two sets of two numbers (plus the 4 digit year) in the second room. I've used every single combination of those numbers into the 4 digit safe to no success. Normally when it comes to puzzle games, I assume I'm just missing something if I can't figure it out. There needs to be more of an indication of what numbers go where.

I think this is where I'll stop. My poor laptop needs a break from overheating, and there is no "pause" feature that would allow me to stop and come back later.

My Max HP:  4,745

My Max ARM: 3,495

My Max Damage: 6,873 aka (4745/20)*29

Some important notes/advice I can give after spending far too much time on this browser game (as of writing this message):

-The max level of coin you can hold at once is $150, and the max multiplier from the gold ball is 11 (11*Whatever Slot)

-Always put the widest slots in the middle to increase the odds of a critical. You must aim to get as many of the crits as possible, as if you don't, the enemies will overpower you faster than you can upgrade

-Balls that do not land in the wheel are not counted, and will return to their place in the tube once the turn is over

-There is no max HP or max ARM limit, or if there is, it is far beyond a reasonable playthrough... or my device strength

-The balls take effect (from the tube to the wheel) in order of right to left, and will not change in order

-If you still have balls in the wheel when the wave is won, the game will cycle through their effects. If you have enough balls, you can wait out the timer for a wave to transition into the shop. While in the shop, any (non-damaging) effects from the balls will carry into the next wave {I suspect this to be patched in a possible future update, but considering how finnicky the requirements for this "glitch" are, and how far late into the game you have to be to achieve this properly, I think its a worthy edition}

-The green HP multiplier ball is, as of writing this, the only way to increase the max damage ceiling beyond an 11 multiplier. I cannot overstate how useful this strategy is once you reach a high enough HP total

Upon gathering the four items and returning to the robot, there is no way to give the items to the robot. If there is, it is not explained. There is also a big grey column on the right side of my screen with seemingly(?) no function. Unsure if these are glitches or just an error on my part.

||I think I got caught in the Yume Nikke Void||

You may want to include in-game instructions for how to use the special attacks, because it currently is not clear.

It would be cool if we could redo the daily challenges to try and get the highest score possible. But other than that, no notes; great game!

I think my translation tool might just be off. If there are codes hidden in the Japanese itself, it must not transfer with google translate.

The farthest I've gotten is Heights Kurezaki... .v.

Can you clarify this, please? I really do want to play this game, but I can't get it to translate without copying the text directly into a different translator.

The furthest I got:

I got all the keys, but I'm not quite sure what to do now. Great game, by the way!

Ohh boy, this run was complicated. By the end of it all, my brain was spinning. I do hope that there is a setting in the future that turns off the stories without the need to right-click. As much as I love narrative, one can only handle so many ai-generated summaries before their empathy degrades.

This is as far as I got before I had to close it. Sadly, there is no save/load feature, so this is where I must claim my limit. I wish you all the best of luck (and computer strength) to go further beyond.

I... may have gone too far.

If I could make a suggestion, I think there should be a catalogue in the menu for the final bosses and their skillsets. Given the time it takes to get there, it feels really unfair when I used the scout card at room 30 and died immediately upon using it. That, or maybe a "you died to [x]" in the game over screen, because I have no idea what I was supposed to do in that situation. Thanks!

I went back into the game today, and all my saves and progress were gone. Every time I opened the game they would be there, but today is an exception. I was just about to start Chapter 4, too. I will download my saves for my next playthrough, though I imagine it will take a few days to get back to where I was. But the game is definitely worth that time.

Yes - it worked! Thank you very much! :D
