Welp, the patch downloaded while I was asleep, and now three of my four saves don't work, and on the fourth one, the insight appears to be out of sync (Alyssa mentions having to save the hostages, even though that has already happened and I was about to start Chapter 2.). Guess I'll just restart, was only like an hour in anyway.

Decided to pick it up on Steam! Please get Steam Cloud going though, I really use it a lot. Hopefully I'll get the chance to play a little tonight. It's downloading now
As far as I know, it was up yesterday.
You build up hyper charge each time you use a move (indicated by the blue boxes on the character portraits). When all the boxes are full, you go into "hyper" mode (yellow glow around your character), and your moves do extra damage for that turn. The boxes then empty, and the amount of charge required to reach hyper mode then goes up by one.
How about the style stuff? As far as I understand it's a passive boost to dmg/healing that continuously increases for both you and enemies? Is there a cap to this? Highest I've gotten is like 110%

Hahahahaha oh dear. Can't imagine being such a worthless, pathetic manchild that gets offended so easily by the existence of Girls Doing Things Too.Is this a RPG, JRPG, or SJWRPG?
Awesome. Reminds me of Skyborn on Hard difficulty. I rarely found useless or mediocre abilities in that game, and every party member had a unique set of skills that were almost all useful at some point. I really enjoyed that game (more than I thought I would), and CSH looks to be even better.
What difficultly level are you playing, btw? Heroine or Super Spy?

For anyone here who's enjoying the game, don't forget to leave a steam review! Really helps out for indie games like this 
I believe Robert was referring to the in-game menu. I have played 1.01 since 6 PM PST last night.

The PS4 patch went live about 15 hours ago. If it's not showing up for you, I believe you can go to the game icon and press Options and force the system to check for updates.

Oh man, I feel so tricked now. To think I supported this game:
Who knew we had SJW female empowerment agendas back in 1987.

Did you finally get to throw back a couple beers and pass out cold from exhaustion last night?
When are you guys distributing review copes? I want to get in on the action!

lol...I remember bringing the manual of this game to work for a week and reading it in the toilet,among other places lol...the king.
Going to squeeze some play in between ME A and MSG5 today...
I remember getting stuck trying to find the MIrror Shield for Odin and calling their hotline, 1-800-USA-SEGA and they sent me a 70 page printed strategy guide for the game in an envelope that was probably a half inch thick.

For some reason, I spent hours looking for the Dungeon Key. You know, the one the old man in Eppi talks about:
"I've hidden a dungeon key in the warehouse in the outskirts of Camineet."
Maybe because Phantasy Star I was my first RPG, I could never imagine that a new item could suddenly appear in a place I had already been to just because someone talked about it ^_^
Got my key last night.
In case anyone else is having trouble with getting their code off Humble remember it's tied to your kickstarter e-mail which isn't necessarily your main Humble account e-mail. I had to check my other account to find they key which I was able to claim without tying that e-mail to Humble.
Haven't started yet because I punched the code in right before bed but it's next on my list after Yakuza 0.
How "kid friendly" is this game? Is this something I could play with my 4 year old while reading the story to her?

Nah, I don't drink, but after we finally got the PS4 patch working, I spent some time playing dress up with one of my daughters and then watched some Community before going to bed at a reasonable time.

Ha. Sounds like my life lately, daughter time and then Community with the wife, talk about coincidence, just about to finish season 1. Well deserved, this game is great so far.
Yes, the ‘in-game' menu would be the ”New Game, Spy Directory" and ”Credits". There is no option for ”Insight".
He did check and the game and it says it has the most current update. The version number is 1.01. So I guess it is the current one, but why doesn't it say ”Insight" then on the in-game menu?
Edit: I'm mixing title menu up with in-game menu. Haven't started the game yet because I wanted to make sure I had the right version before I save.

It's the actual menu when you are playing the game, like with items and equip.
Not the title menu.
Edit: missed your edit
I was just reading that one metacritic user review that gave it a five, and since he stupidly got key info wrong just for the record:
When you clear a screen of enemies, select "Battle" from your menu to fight more battles on that screen. That is the way you "grind" in this game.
If you are playing on super spy you will need to remember this

Good!
Hopefully y'all can start looking at your Kickstarter inbox now
Want to play the game already! Haha.

Discovered that bit by accident, just by clicking around the menu, seeing what did what.
Some people just can't be arsed to experiment I guess. And if that's the case, and with this battle system, he's gonna have a bad time.

So what does it do, re-populate the screen if you choose Battle, or throw you into a random encounter of some sort?

From my experience it will just repeat whatever encounter you had in whatever area you're in.

IIRC, this feature is explained in-game in Chtulhu Saves the World. Since it's still pretty unique, maybe they should have explained it again in CSH.
Automatically throws you into one of the battles that took place on that screen prior. I think it chooses which of the battles to put you in from that screen randomly, since it switches between which one.
Maybe. I mean sure, especially if you are playing on easier modes. But I sorta dig discovering what my options are for myself
What are your sys specs and game resolution? Does it happen at windowed modes?
2k res with a gtx980 and s 140ish framerate. I'll try windowed mode tonight. To be clear it's only the companions slowing down in actual speed and overlapping one other sprites. Alyssa and the frame rate remain stable. I switched to a new map area and it hasn't happened again yet so hopefully it was just in that jungle map.
I love that someone else did and remembers this. I still have all of those mailings from them in a box somewhere. My friend and I were probably such pains in the asses back then. I think we'd call daily even if we didn't really need any help. Haha I loved Sega so much.
Honestly think I'm more annoyed with the guy in the second reply.
The thread creator sounds like an idiot but that guy just sounds like a complete asshole.

I just want to reiterate that the soundtrack is absolutely amazing, and I am 100% in love - guess finishing my assignments just became 1000x cooler. Time to retire the Umineko and Persona 5 soundtracks (FOR NOW).

Just launched the game and I'm having a hard time changing the resolution.
The game defaulted to the lowest resolution available, it opened in a tiny window. I tried changing it to 1080p and it crashed. I restarted the game and it was 1080p windowed. Chose fullscreen, the game crashed again.
Restarted the game. It was indeed fullscreen, but there were huge black bars around the image. Weird.
Checked Nvidia Control Panel. Game defaulted to my onboard video card (Intel HD Graphics 3000). Changed it to my NVIDIA 840M. The issue persists.
I have an ASUS X550L Notebook, i5 42100U, 1.7 GHz, 6GB RAM.
Not really a problem for me, as I can play fullscreen 1080p using Borderless Gaming, but I think I should report this bug anyway.

It's very much like Chrono Trigger, to the point where you fight the enemies in the same space you encounter them. No transition screen.
Kickstarter gave me Divinity Original Sin, Pillars of Eternity, FTL, Shovel Knight, and Hollow Knight just off the top of my head. Yeah. Kickstarter has been worthwhile.
If you're just asking whether this game is good, there are already posts here that say it's pretty great. I haven't actually dove in like I wanted to yet because another certain Kickstarter game completely stole my attention. But I'll get to this game soon.
