Why is there no rhythm game within caligula?

It's been done before with other games having mini-games inside.

It just feels like a wasted opportunity, considering all these great songs in-game.

Especially when it's made by producers who essentially make rhythm game music.

Hell, it might've even become popular enough to make people play caligula just for the rhythm game OR have its own spin-off main game with new music sung by u, aria, x, and regret, effectively turning them into actual virtual idols.

Bought 2 on sale, 10 hours in and really enjoying it Despite its budget. However I kind of regret playing 2 first. I think I'll grab the first and play that next

Hello, I’m about to complete the For the Love of Regret quest line but it’s asking me for the Mental Fortitude skill. Does anyone know which stigma gives it and where to get it?

Greetings!

I have three questions regarding these games, so please bear with me...

1: Do the PC versions of these games have console commands available?

2: Is there a kill count, along with other statistics, present in these games?

3: What type of saving system do these games have?

Thank you in advance.

I’m having issues finding two people, one’s the person linked to Kanata Sasskuza on Tatefushi U. Hospital 1F, the other is the one marked on the Tsunaga Line in the middle of Katsumi Furuhata, Saki Hachiya, Toshiiki Senga and Hiroshi Kuno

So, I finished the game and... I don't understand why everyone is mad to Regret, she clearly didn't want to be a "virtual goddess idol", she clearly cry out loud she wants us to put an end to this. Beside that, we don't have the choice in the end, honestly I don't understand why, the game make us choose why we are in Redo, give us the "choice" when we are being asked if we really want to leave Redo,so the hero is "us", not a scripted hero.In the end, I don't understand why they didn't make us a false choice ; at the beginning of the game there is a conversation between Gin and X saying that she can control our body, they could have make X forcing us to kill Regret if we chose to not kill her.

Anyway, globally the game is better than the first one, some things lacks like the sprint or a speed accelerating during the fights, especially when u preview the actions, the dungeons are better even tho they are still terrible like, why is there 5 identical shops in the same shopping mall and the puzzles didn't gain anything particular.

But in the end, that's The Caligula Effect for you, a "bad" game but who is still good if u don't mind it.

There's a stigma exclusive to >!Ryuto!< that enhances his emergency barrier into Emergency Barrier+ with the description, "An enhanced Emergency Barrier. Execute a successful guard to trigger Suum Cuique," but I can't find anywhere in the game or online what that technique does exactly.

Does anyone here know?

I mean, I'm sure there will be, I'm just curious.

I'm looking forward to hearing the Musicians sing their songs, because they're all very good songs. Has there been any news on that?

The text reads "sustain damage in [the parrying stance] to trigger Up You Go!" but nothing happens when I do get hit while the glowing yellow circle is around her.

Am I missing something?

Since the games aren't too popular outside of Japan, at least from what I've seen online, I was wondering how you guys found out abt it and what made you a part of the community! I personally found the anime through Crunchyroll's option to just recommend a random show & really liked the story, which made me want to play the games!

Would love to hear your guys' stories! :)

From February 15, 2022 - March 28, 2022, the Collabo Cafe Space in Shibuya held a collaboration event for drinks themed around The Caligula Effect 2, with the first wave themed around members of the Go-Home Club and χ until March 7, 2022. Starting on March 8, 2022, they switched the menu around to serve drinks themed around the Obbligato Musicians and Regret. Customers also received a commemorative coaster along with their orders. The B-Fantasy shop on the corner of Shibuya Marui 1F sold various merchandise related to the game as well.

The following is a list of all the character drinks, ingredients, and a roughly translated version of their description from the Collabo Cafe Twitter account. If I got any details wrong, please correct me.

Go-Home Club announcement Tweet

χ's drink ended up being the most popular.

Go-Home Club Drinks (listed in order of joining):

Drink: χ's Smashing Milk!!
Ingredients: Milk (base), Whipped Cream, Blue Hawaiian Syrup, Strawberry Syrup
Description: N/A
Notes: They never wrote her drink an official description, but if I were to write one, it'd be something like "A cool white drink full of fluffy whipped cream, with blue and pink syrup that reminds you of her colors." Something like that, at least.

Drink: Gin's Blue Pineapple Boba
Ingredients: Pineapple Juice (base), Blue Tapioca
Description: The yellow of the pineapple juice reminds you of his uniform, and the blue boba is reminiscent of his birth flower Blue Roses.
Notes: His drink introduction tweet was by far one of the most popular ones, so I could have sworn he was going to have the most popular drink... I saw a lot of the JP fandom make comments like "careful not to choke on Noto Gin's balls" and "I want to bathe in his juices," among other thinly-veiled innuendos. At least a few people were like "Oh! I can recreate Character Episode 9 with this!" so there's that.

Drink: Sasara's Kindness Blood Orange Juice
Ingredients: Blood Orange Juice (base), Mint
Description: A cold drink with a color that is different on each layer, with mint to remind you of her birth flower Canna.

Drink: Kiriko's Strawberry Calpis
Ingredients: Strawberry Calpis (base), Lemon
Description: The Strawberry Calpis base is like her birth flower Fairy Primrose, and a slice of lemon reminds you of her trademark blonde hair. This refreshing drink has the image of a dry personality that doesn't feel the need to appeal to others.
Notes: Calpis is an un-carbonated beverage with a somewhat milk-like flavor, almost like drinking yogurt or Yakult.

Drink: Shota's Indecisive Hot Black Coffee
Ingredients: Coffee (base), Whipped Cream, Matcha Syrup, Cranberries
Description: The top of the drink is inspired by his birth flower Holly. Don't worry if you don't like bitter coffee, we have milk and sugar for you!

Drink: Marie's Honor Student Hot Cafe Latte
Ingredients: Cafe Latte (base), Whipped Cream, Blue Sugar
Description: A hot drink where the whipped cream represents her birth flower of Snowdrops and blue sugar like her ribbons. The color of the latte is similar to her hair, eyes, and armband.

Drink: Kobato's Chara Man Grape Soda
Ingredients: Grape Soda (base), Blueberries
Description: Blueberries representing the Morning Star from his Catharsis Effect are served on top of grape soda, which is reminiscent of his birth flower, Scabiosa.
Notes: "Chara" (written チャラ ) behavior is frivolous and talkative, and is used to describe men who often flirt with women, or seem to get along with them "too" well. Sometimes a certain aesthetic is associated with charai people, such as wearing a lot of accessories.

Drink: Genius Ryuto's Hot Milk Tea
Ingredients: Milk Tea (base), Whipped Cream, Chocolate Sauce
Description: A hot drink that imitates Ryuto's appearance, with the chocolate sauce representing the thorns from his Catharsis Effect and whipped cream as the White Dianthus of his birth flower.

Drink: Niko's Energetic Strawberry Cola
Ingredients: Strawberry Soda (base), Cola Syrup, Whipped Cream, Mint
Description: A double-layered strawberry soda where the dark cola syrup settles at the bottom.

Obbligato announcement Tweet

As of now, they haven't said which of the Obbligato drinks have been the most popular...

Obbligato Musician Drinks (listed in order of fighting):

Drink: Regret's Mystical Black Sesame Latte
Ingredients: Black Sesame Latte (base), Whipped Cream, Pink Chocolate Syrup, Silver Sugar Pearls
Description: A mellow drink with a halo drawn in pink chocolate, along with sugar pearls.

Drink: Machina's Android Cola
Ingredients: Cola (base), Mango
Description: A cool drink with the body of cola and mango chunks.
Notes: The tweet mentions whipped cream for his haori/jacket, but I don't see it...? It's not on the ingredients list either.

Drink: Pandora's Garden Hot Milk
Ingredients: Milk (base), Whipped Cream, Matcha Sauce, Apollo Chocolates
Description: A hot drink with whipped cream reminding you of her dress, with matcha sauce and chocolates representing flowers.

Drink: MU-kun's Cosmo Drink
Ingredients: Strawberry Soda (base), Blue Hawaiian Syrup, Whipped Cream, Ramune Stars
Description: Blue Hawaiian Syrup for the pants and strawberry soda for the hair. Whipped cream and stars remind you of his space suit~☆
Notes: I wonder if the drink would be localized to Cosmicute Cola...?

Drink: Cocoa's Head-Over-Heels Strawberry Milkies
Ingredients: Strawberry Milkies (base), Whipped Cream, Chocolate Sauce, Marshmallow Hearts
Description: A lovely drink with whipped cream to express girliness, with chocolate sauce to remind you of her hair and marshmallow hearts as toppings.
Notes: The drink menu doesn't use her composer name, similarly to how she prefers to go incognito at Tatefushi Academy.

Drink: Doktor's Coffee Jelly Milk
Ingredients: Milk (base), Coffee Jelly
Description: Monochrome clothes and a white coat with slightly sweet milk and coffee jelly.
Notes: The first time the Musician menu was posted, there was a typo with the ingredients list that said this was a drink based off juice, not coffee. I thought that was entirely intentional, given that Doktor might definitely gaslight you.

Drink: Kranke's Hot Cocoa
Ingredients: Hot Chocolate (base), Whipped Cream, Orange Peel
Description: A hot drink with a whipped cream blanket on the shoulders that also reminds you of her hair. The orange peel represents her necklace.

Drink: Kudan's Agitation Cherry Juice
Ingredients: Cherry Juice (base), Orange
Description: A cold drink with a slice of orange that reminds you of her scarf. The cherry color is reminiscent of her hair and eyes.
Notes: Similarly to Doktor's drink, the ingredients for Kudan's juice were listed as coffee. Truly the Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss of The Caligula Effect.

Drink: Mysterious Bluffman's Gold Leaf Coffee
Ingredients: Coffee (base), Gold Leaf
Description: A drink that represents his outfit, with gold leaf for his mask.
Notes: They really are charging people ¥ 880 for coffee with a tidbit of gold leaf. Is this how they're breaking even? JP fandom also had a fit over the menu reveal.

wouldnt mind if they milk Caligula 2 first to fund Caligula 3 better, though not sure cause this is the first time they dedicate to consoles. Overdose was finishing what they wanted to do in the original game, so not sure how satisfied they are with Caligula 2. if they make a Caligula 3 they should be more daring with story routes and stuff and have even some empowering routes for those that dont want to return could like somehow get another world elsewhere, but it seems the message from these devs is they are sorta anti isekai since even in Overdose its like they punish those that pick to stay, and they make the entity weak so its not sustainable, which sucks.

but still, think some fans like the meat of what this series has to offer. so yea who knows, or maybe they will make a new high school anime series with a different theme, maybe still isekai, cause that's more interesting, though yea another thing would be cool is character creation so the players can dress and look how they want. I didnt like the selection in the first game, the 2nd game's is better, though it is strange they didn't sell alternative outfits this time, so think maybe they would offer those things in a Overdose version?

the series does have great potential

So I'm not sure if it's just me for some reason but I used YouTube to listen to a bunch of the songs from here (yes I'm aware of Spotify albums) but for some reason my favourite ones they had the music background that surrounded the battle field and mashed up the Ki and regret versions. They're gone now. I can't remember the exact channel either just know one started with an A and had a primarily red profile picture. The uploads were mostly the caligula 2 songs also.

Hey all, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. This is the second time this has come up for me while playing Caligula effect 2 on my ps4 pro. During certain cutscenes, the fan goes haywire and then my ps4 crashes. It’s located in a spot with plenty of airflow and I’ve already deleted and reinstalled the game.

so, i had been playing caligula overdose on my switch lite. im really enjoying the game, BUT the performance is kinda bad :( the graphics can get really low res.

im really curios if the second game has this same issue...

Before the EN game release there was an offer for the PS4 with the game and the protagonist school bag and accessories. Does anyone know if we can still but the protagonist's School bag ? Seperatly ?

I've tried different team compositions and tactics(grinding special before the battle) but I can barely take 50% of his health. Launching him is impossible and he seems to be immune to stun.

My normal team composition is Protagonist (usually used to launch enemies or quickly finish them), Kensuke (usually used when the protag can't launch enemy and the tank), Izuru (support and healer) and Shogo (main damage dealer that has soul refresh).

Characters are at level 17-18.

I feel llike I should try using Mifue, but I don't like her mechanically and I struggle to keep her alive. Ayana is okay and I haven't played a lot as Kotaro.
