Transformation Arts (Effects)
Jet
Carries Jetpack on his back to fly.
Appaerance: Yon Goh wears a jetpack on his back and floats slightly above the ground.
Passive effect: Yon Goh's moving speed duplicates.
Active effect: None.
Location: Octopus Tower.
Practical uses: Useful to explore the dream world faster, as well as evading some chasers.
Enter the Octopus Spear Squid World (the flashing blue line) and go down-right until you find a structure surrounded by red octopi, climb it and enter the door in it's upper part, inside the building go all the way right until you find a jetpack in the floor, interact with the jetpack to get the Art.
Sword
Equips sword.
Appaerance: Yon Goh carries a katana in a sheath.
Passive effect: None.
Active effect: Yon Goh takes the sword out of it's sheath and puts it back.
Location: Found in the Colorful Lines World or the Dark Storage.
Practical uses: Can be used to kill NPCs.
There are two routes to find this effect.
Turn off the lights in the real room and go to sleep. In the nexus, enter the Colorful Line World (the pastel blue door at the left), go down-right until you find a sword, interact with it to get the Art.
Alternative route (you need the Moonlight Art): don't turn the lights in the real room off before going to sleep. In the nexus, enter the Blackout World (the pastel yellow door at the left), go down and left interacting with the shadows blocking the path while using the Moonlight effect to make them dissappear until you find a big metallic building with arrows drawn in a wall, enter through the door and go to the room C, there the sword will be waiting for you.
This route is risky as it can crash the game in some builds of the English translation due to some unedited events that call a non existent file, so using the Colorful Line World route is recommended.
Drum
Becomes drum. Sound depends on direction.
Appaerance: Yon Goh becomes a drum with legs and a number 4 in the front side.
Passive effect: None.
Active effect: Depending on the direction you are facing, it can play different drum sounds (down - base drum, left - cymbal, right - hi hat, up - snare).
Location: Sincerity World.
Practical uses: Needed to find Kagerou and obtain the Shadow Art.
Enter the Lake World (the pink tile in the floor with the red kanji on it) and go through the only available path until you find a black wormlike creature, talk to it to be teleported to a digital looking version of the lake, go all the way left and then up and interact with the gong at the end of the path.

Enter the Japanese Village (the japanese lamp in the nexus) and look for a big house, inside the house evade the chaser and go through the door at the right, you'll reach Moonlight Mountain, go all the way right and don't interact with broken stairs, go upwards and interact with the white squidlike figure to remove a block from the path, continue going through the previously blocked path and go down the long stairway, eventually start going upwards and you'll appear in a different area, go through the cave and then all the way right, interact with the yellow pillar at the end of the path to get the Art.

Pseudo Effects
Close (Q)
Press X to close, Shift key to cancel.
This item doesn't change Yon Goh's appaerance, nor it is needed to get any of the endings. Using it shows a computer window frame, pressing X when the window frame shows will play a cutscene that looks like someone making an input in a text terminal, which teleports the player back to the Nexus.
(1-Bit or Jet are recommended, as well as Digital) Enter the Radio Wave World and more up-right until you find a big red Y shapped antenna, interact with it to be teleported to the Red Crimson Scarlet World, a series of small mazelike maps where you must interact with the glowing orange triangles, when you reach a map where you interact with either another glowing triangle or a red cube, interact with the cube to be warped to a teleport maze, in here, go right, right, down, down-right, down, right, left, down, and right, you'll appear in front of a differently colored tile that will warp you to the Shadoji World, an area with murals and some strange shadowlike chasers who unlike most NPCs, still chase you if you equip the Vision Art and turn invisible, so either stopping them with 1-Bit or outrunning them with the Jet is recommended, find a stair and go down it to reach Argon's Inspiration, a digital looking dungeon with the mechanic where you can only enter doors located in the center of the map and entering any other door will teleport you back to the Shadoji World, you can use Digital here to see which doors you are allowed to enter until you finally reach what seems to be a minimalistic hill surrounded with water, a cutscene with text will play and you will be granted the hability to "close" the game.
Events
D4 Festival
Follow the instructions for the Drum art but interact with the purple object that's right before the room with the gong, navigate the purple maze until you find two interlocked squares, interact with them to get to a red maze full of chasers who don't chase you, let any of them catch you and you will be teleported to a room full of chasers, including one that constantly uses your own arts against you, in this map you won't be allowed to wake up or use the Close (Q) function, so the only thing you can do is getting caught. If any of these chasers catches you he'll shot you, which will show a picture of a mountain with the text "Please Stand By" before prompting a forced wake up.
Kagerou's Rage
In the map where you can get the Shadow art, if you use the 1-Bit art to stop time before interacting with Kagerou, there is a 1/66 chance the map will turn red, as well as Kagerou's normally purple outline, and some rather unsettling music will play, in this state you won't be able to use the menu to wake up or use the Close function, and the map exit will be blocked, the only thing you can do is interact with Kagerou, which will show a picture of him having a somewhat humanoid body with some snakes sprouting from his back (?). After this you will reappear in the eight map of the Shadow Dimension and upon reentering Kagerou's room you can interact normally with him.
Shrine Shenanigans
Go the the Japanese Village and move down, then surround the lake until you find a torii gate, go through it and you'll appear outside a Shinto shrine. You can't enter but you can put money in the Saisen box as well as recovering all you HP by "purifying your body and mind" at the laddle in front of the shrine (which doesn't actually do anything useful in this version as the game ends with the only boss battle it has so far).
If you offer exactly 15 KaYen to the Saisen box, a red pepper will fall from one of the trees, interacting with it will teleport you to the Red Pepper World, a small area with nothing to do in it.
If you offer exactly 42 KaYen to the Saisen box, Yon Goh will die, which will show a game over picture before prompting a forced wake up event (likely a reference to how one of the pronunciations in 4 is shi and 2 is pronounced ni, making the pronunciation of four-two shi-ni, a homophone of death).
GIDA Bros' Dodge Course
(You will need the 1-Bit Art to complete this event) Go to the Kaen Village, move down and then left until you find a door, go downstairs until you reach a sewer, go through the only available door, you will reach the Monochrome Space, interact with the fast squid like NPC to warp to the Inverted Monochrome Space, interact with the red eye to enter the GIDA Bros' Park, then interact with the ball like character who welcomes you to start the dodge course.If you complete the course successfully you will unlock extra modes for the minigame NIFU.
Endings
Jump through the hole in the railing of Yon Goh's real balcony after getting the Shadow Art and talking to D4 (the chaser who looks just like Yon Goh but wearing red clothes) who will be standing in front of the house waiting for you will trigger a boss fight with him, most endings are different outcomes of this fight.
-Alpha ending: Defeat D4 in the battle, afterwards a cutscene will play where Yon Goh is in a hallway in his house and notices an open door, enter the door and interact with shiny object, you will get a mysterious letter, read it to get the ending.
-Yon Goh vanished ending: Lose to D4 in the battle to get the ending.
-Destroy the Whole Village (D.T.W.V) ending: This ending is a bit trickier to get, during D4's fight, focus on attacking Mirrier (the robotlike creature who accompanies D4) until it self destructs, when Mirrier is defeated escape the fight, in normal conditions D4 will taunt you for abandoning the fight and tell you to come more prepared next time, but if Mirrier did self destruct, D4 will claim it's too late to run away and will start a new fight where he will have considerably higher stats, lose to him in this state to get the ending. As a note, defeating D4 in this battle will also trigger the Alpha ending.
-Fracture ending: Keep jumping from the balcony but don't talk to D4 and return to your room to jump again, around the third time doing this you will get the ending.
