r/KatanaZero

From the themes, the graphics and gameplay it looks really similar. To the point I thought it was a new game made by the same devs.

What if the reason it’s taking so long is also for the coding of bosses that may change approaches across different attempts? (Either other soldiers or individuals who trivialize Chronos due to awareness and sheer intellect)? Or maybe we have an antagonist that’s like Todd from Re:Zero that’s so acutely aware of a Null Soldier’s attempt at a “perfect run” that they drastically shift not just “a” fight but how you may be forced to approach any given situation just so they can have both the most immediate and unavoidable option/angle to kill you.

When I engaged with people actually closer involved with the program (The merest of Fifteen and Headhunter) I was forced to confront a somewhat blatant fact I think we all experienced: **There’s levels to this shit**. So I’m just sitting here thinking: if we’re headed back to Zero’s roots (The Jungle and Scientific/Government bases) that means we’re going to be met with people that are ACTUALLY aware of and well versed in Chronos (whether they’re using it or otherwise) leading to some way, WAY crazier sequences, fights, and alternating options/storylines.

THAT OR, OR, pixel game design with branching text options is hard as fuck and just takes a really really long time to do. But it’s a pretty exciting thought, isn’t it? What might you expect or hope for?

UPDATE: It is entirely my own fault, I did not let the dialogue finish all the way to the end not realising that it goes back to the therapist after the scene with V, I succeeded in fighting the secret boss and all is well 😃

I have done every single step multiple times and been trying to get to the secret boss for 'hours'

Hang up multiple times on Psychiatrist beginning of game and the hotel next mission.

Listen to DJ about the drugs and then refuse it from the Psychiatrist

Take out all the guards in the prison mission

I do 'all' of this perfectly but everytime it goes back to the psychiatrist before the Chinatown level, it 'never' gives me the option to say 'F You' but instead just goes staight to V scene to say 'F You'

I dont know if there is a bug in this game but I have given up on trying to get this boss, 10 times ive tried this method and just keeps giving me the same result, not worth it anymore.
