Summary (AI)

Kotama and Academy Citadel version 2.0 introduces significant gameplay adjustments, including the requirement to carry sufficient Temporal Coils to access certain areas and progress in some side quests. The game features four large Academy maps, two hidden levels, and various difficulty modes chosen at the start, with no option to change mid-game. Monster distribution, strength, and platforming mechanics now vary based on Temporal Coil counts, adding strategic depth to exploration. Controls have been refined, with preset controller layouts and full keyboard remapping supported, though custom controller remapping is not yet available. Additional improvements include polished action responsiveness, updated save point mechanics, and support for multiple languages.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

Planning their use wisely is also an important part of exploration!

Hello everyone!
Current Temporary Solution:
If some students experience whitening or flickering on their screens, it may be because your PC has automatically enabled Auto HDR. This must be turned off manually.
