Each update takes way too long for me nowadays to go through for everything given now we have 11 playable characters to test and all the other nitty gritty things I need to hunt down for. Also IRL obligations limit the time I can spend on these sort of things. I wasn't even able to really get started on the recent update due to being away from my setup until 4 months later. Whoo. Drop me a line if anyone's interested. I'm seriously getting burnt out from this game.

If that's what you were trying to squint at

A list of all the other side things I wrote down while working on the codex and bestiary. Hopefully they'll be of use to someone. This is not a walkthrough. Just more list of things that can maybe help you decide how to plan your playthrough.

This guide contains a list of perks, allies, spells, status, and town status things. I didn't do a thorough testing of spells, so if you are looking for game breaking advantages you won't find them here. The thing with Expel Evil is fixed now.

Some allies are currently not recruitable so they won't be listed. Students will be listed separately because they are completely random in terms of stats or effect and they aren't always the same STUDENT A-F. I'll only be listing students in name only, in the off chance they are necessary for some events down the line... All the students can be recruited at School.

There are 3 human potential recruiting areas, so there's a chance that the None Student allies will show up here: Hospital event Paranoid Patient, Village event Masked Figures, and Seaside event City Docks. However I'm not sure if all 3 locations will have all the characters available. It's also possible to recruit allies while on the Festival case, sometimes multiples of the same character. Don't ask me how you understand what Dog wants though. Must be that festival spirit.
