After 34 years living in obscurity, Getsu Fuma was brought back, this time as a Dead Cells-like roguelite with a gorgeous artstyle inspired by the classic Ukiyo-e paintings.

It initially released on Steam as an Early Access game in order to make adjustments based on player feedback. A lot of the content was planned ahead, with even more to come according to the official roadmap. But for whatever reason the game has not received any more content updates after its Nintendo Switch launch, leaving a lot of now-scrapped content on the table.

To do:

Clean-up.
- Move each section into a subpage.
Prerelease page, including the Early Access development.
Document unused enemies/bosses/playable characters/animations.
- Get good-looking renders of them.
- Include their data values?
Write down the rest of the unused text from the [locres file].
Find out what else can be loaded up into the current build of the game.

Debugging Features

Tips_Debug

Found within the "/Game/Map/ProductMap/TipsDebug/" subfolder, when openned through console commands it will display and allow to sort through all the available loading screen messages in data, including those that aren't seen in-game and/or lack translation data, most likely for proof-reading purposes. To move past the default screen you need to press Left, which will reveal that the tips are arranged alphabetically in descending order based on the name files of the images in the "/Game/UI/Texture/Loading" subfolder. Pressing the B button will return back to the Getsu Clan Estate.

...But what does it mean?

Unused Maps

SUB_S00_Mtest000

Found within the "/Game/Map/ProductMap/Stage000/SUB/" subfolder is a test map constructed of a staircase formation which goes up to 300cm. Possibly used for measurement of the in-game models. There are two invisible warps at both ends of the stage, both will bring back the player to the Getsu Clan Estate.

Deep Stone Caverns

Icon	Description
N/A	Hell's dim cellars guide you into their bottomless depths. The stench of rotting corpses is strong to the point of physical pain amid these humid caves. Gleeful shadows of monsters and spirits writhe in the darkness.

Found within the "/Game/Map/ProductMap/Stage003/Stage003_P" subfolder, appears to be a duplicate of Stage002 (Hellfire Cliff) meant to be used as a placeholder for another planned stage: the Deep Stone Caverns, save some key differences:

Because there's no tileset sprites associated to it, the map won't show the actual stage layout but all active entities in the level.
The background will use a completely different model.

In-game	Model

Either by mistake or by design, the procedurally generated layout will be a closed off dead end (and enemies might still spawn inside of it, unable to reach to the player) and won't allow to reach the boss gate.

Loading the boss arena through console commands reveals that it's a copypaste of the Colossal Centipede boss fight but with most of its scenery props missing but the background remains the same.

Nether Forest

Icon	Description
N/A	It is eternally autumn in this place. Its paths that peek out from piles of fallen crimson leaves lead on with no end. Voices of monsters and spirits echo through the air, and their shadows twist and waver in their slaughter.

Found within the "/Game/Map/ProductMap/Stage005/Stage005_P" subfolder, a stage set in an autumn forest where the player must find switches to open doors (similar gimmick to that of the Subspace Citadel) and reach the bottom where the boss gate is found after a long horizontal stretch.

Much like the Deep Stone Caverns, because there's no tileset sprites associated to it, the map is unable to display the layout beyond showing all the entities within the stage.

Most amusing detail of the stage is that is inhabitated by most of the unused enemies, the rest of the enemies available are only used in the other stages when playing on "Hero" difficulty or above with the final v1.1.0 update. That being said, no enemies appear to spawn when playing at a difficulty higher than "Commoner".

bgm_stage005_01

Stage music.

bgm_stage005_01_v

A backup vocal track, meant to be played dynamically throughout the stage. However, it doesn't appear to play when playing through the stage at its current state. A mixed version is featured on the Original Soundtrack CD release under the name "Koihe Koihe".

The music for this stage and boss fight appears to be duplicated under "bgm_stage003_01", sans the vocal track. Likely used as a placeholder for the Deep Stone Caverns stage (even though it reuses the Hellfire Cliff music as well).

Unused Playable Characters

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Is it possible to actually play as Araya in the current build of the game through console commands or otherwise? I remember unlocking him the first time I fought him, but I lost the save file and could never do it again, but I could be misremembering.

Throughtout the promotional material such as the official Digital Artbook included in the Deluxe edition of the game (given to all Early-Access buyers for free since day 1) and even the loading screen text there are mention of the two remaining Getsu clan members to make an appearance: Getsu Araya and Getsu Komei.

P003_V001

It would appear Getsu Araya was the next character to be added in the October 2021 Update according to the last update to the roadmap (later announced to seemingly be put on hold indefinitively on an October 28th announcement), this is further evidenced by his boss fight already being near-complete in the game files as well all of his playable animations including cutscenes.

P004_V001

Getsu Komei on the other hand appears to have been planned for much later as his whole playable animation set mostly is complete except for cutscenes and boss battle-related animations. Additionally he lacks a Blueprint both as a playable character and as a boss.

Spirit Tag

An animation for the Spirit Tag subweapon, only available to Getsu Fuma and Getsu Komei, Fuma's animation appears to be less complete as he seems to lack simulated cloth physics.

bt_air_jufu00

P001_bt_jufu00	P004_bt_jufu00

Alchemic Elixir

An animation for activating the effects of the Alchemic Elixir subweapon. While none of the characters can use it due the lack of access to the item itself, Getsu Araya can use it in his boss fight.

bt_air_elixir00
bt_elixir00

P001_bt_elixir	P002_bt_elixir00

bt_grab00

An animation for when the player is holding onto a ledge, it goes unused as characters climb up any ledge automatically using the "bt_grabup00" animation. Getsu Komei's animation is only a single-frame long.

P001_bt_grab00	P002_bt_grab00	P003_bt_grab00	P004_bt_grab00

bt_emotion03

An animation sequence for characters talking to each other. While characters can interact with each other at the Getsu Clan Estate they don't change their pose when doing so.

Unused Enemies

Bone Spider

Internal name	Icon	Description
ENEMY_Spider		These skeleton spirits resemble the Ryukotsuki. Born of bare bones, they run rampant throughout hell. These fiends cling to and crawl on surfaces and ceilings, and are frequently found underfoot.

M002_V001

Salamander

Internal name	Icon	Description
ENEMY_Salamander	N/A	Humans once believed in a brutal legend: cut a salamander in two, then place its pieces in a river and it will be reborn. How many such cycles has this one experienced? An eye for an eye, a life for a life--its mind can now only think of killing humans.

M004_V001

Kappa

Internal name	Icon	Description
ENEMY_Kappa		These monsters have long dwelled by the water. They are said to be water spirits that have fallen after losing the faith of the people. These pesky troublemakers seem to enjoy barring one's way.

M009_V001

An enemy based on the yōkai of the same name. Can be found in the Nether Forest stage, it disguises itself as a jar pot and jump at the player when they come near similar to the Water Spirit in The Great Wave of Damnation stage.

Futakuchionna

Internal name	Icon	Description
ENEMY_TwoMouth		While this monster was still human, the back of its head was split in two by an axe. Such was the punishment exacted upon a woman who accidentally killed her children, but the wound on her head split further apart until it became a sinister second mouth.

M014_V001

An enemy based on the yōkai of the same name. Can be found in the Nether Forest stage acting passive until the player walks past them, it's one of the few unused enemies to drop materials when killed.

Kudan

Internal name	Icon	Description
ENEMY_Bull		This monster has the head of an old man. It has likely devoured thousands of victims. Though it understands human language, its base nature is said to have once led it to trick a man who engaged it in dialogue before slaughtering him.

M019_V001

Dodomeki

Internal name	Icon	Description
ENEMY_OneHundredEyes	N/A	This monster slowly closes in on you as its gluttonous body ripples. The hundred eyes covering its body glare at you, robbing you of your freedom so that its eyes can scatter and attack.

M020_V001

An enemy based on the yōkai of the same name. Can be found in the Nether Forest stage, it appears to be incomplete as one of its attacks uses the Bloodshot Eyeball 2D sprite for a projectile (with a visible bounding box attatched to it) and its other attack is to blast a high-range ripple that will not damage the player but stagger them a fairly-long amount of time leaving them open for attacks (this while leaving a visible bounding box afterwards which won't disappear).

Additionally its death animation seems bugged out as one of the eyes will latch onto the socket.

M020_bt_daed00_in

Crow Tengu

Internal name	Icon	Description
ENEMY_Tengu		These unknown ascetics living deep in the mountains are, in fact, crow spirits turned wicked by the enmity of nobles that amassed after they met tragic deaths. It is said they have long tricked humans and brought chaos to the world.

M025_V001

An enemy based on the yōkai of the same name. Can be found in the Nether Forest stage disguised as a tornado which makes him invulnerable like the Smoke Specter enemy, and much like the Undying Bird enemy it can fly around to any point in the stage to hunt down the player once encountered.

Oni: Spear

A third variant of the Oni enemy is referenced in the data. It would have used a spear to attack.

Unused Bosses

Toad Warrior

Internal name	Icon	Description
BOSS_Toad	N/A	This spell-casting spirit controls a monstrous frog. Though its utterly changed form makes it all but impossible to tell, members of the Getsu clan may sense that its first soul was one of their own...

M203_V001	M203_V002

Boss of the planned "Deep Stone Caverns" stage, formed by two entities: a giant toad and a cyclops. Appears to be based on the kabuki character of Tenjiku Tokubei, commonly depicted as a magician riding on a giant toad. It lacks any sort of animations.

Bakeneko

Internal name	Icon	Description
BOSS_Cat		This goblin cat's soul has been sundered from its body. While still alive, it was cornered along with its master, and they ended up imprisoned in hell. Its unsettling infant-like cry is tinged with a faint sadness.

Boss of the unused "Nether Forest" stage, based on the yōkai of the same name. It manifests as a gigant cat formed by multiple regular-sized cats which will split and reform throughout the battle. This boss fight doesn't has an intro cutscene, skipping directly into the fight when encountered and it seems to lack any sound effect when playing and some visual glitches too due its unfinished nature.

Music for the boss fight, featured on the Original Soundtrack CD release under the name "Feline Fracas"

Three different texture files associated with the boss, it would appear that the one used in-game is completely shadeless (likely because the shading would be better handled by the engine), and among the baked-shadow variants of the texture there's an even earlier version with minor differences such as the different segmentations of the cat cluster (as it would seem some of the cats have been fused with one another) and the position of the bell/"eye" iris.

T_M205_V001_Body_D_2 (Used)	T_M205_V002_Body_D (Unused)	T_M205_V002_v01_Body_D (Unused)

Puppet Getsu Araya and Araya's Remnants

Much like Getsu Renge before him, Getsu Araya would have randomly appear as a mini boss fight between level transitions and defeating him would have unlocked him as a playable character (in the current build he can only be accessed by loading in "Map/ProductMap/Stage011/Stage011_2_Boss_P" through console commands). He wields a Nameless Mass bludgeon, a Mana Bracelet which he will use to briefly stun the player in place while he charges up an attack, and once his health has been lowered by half he will apparently drink an Alchemic Elixir that will envelop him in a barrier that reduces all damage taken to 1, only way to damage him after he does this is to hit him multiple times until he staggers.

Defeating him will falsely increase the player Souls to 99 each and reward them another 99 points (even though this won't actually happen), even though the screen fades out to black when beaten the level won't transition into a loading screen to another stage; the player can still control their character. Exiting the game and reloading the save will restore visibility, revealing a warp back to the Getsu Clan Estate at the end.

Despite of having a boss name card of his own, he reuses that of Getsu Renge. Additionally, he seems to lack the same black shader effect as the Puppet Getsu Renge fight and all of the sound effects are missing in the fight.

Much like Getsu Renge, once defeated a rematch with Getsu Araya would have randomly occurred between level transitions as a mini boss fight (again, only accessible by loading in "Stage011_2_Boss_Rematch_P" through console commands). The attack patterns and rewards are the same as before.

Like previously mentioned, he reuses Renge's Remnants boss name card but this time due the lack of a proper one for himself. Once again it features the exact same quirks as before (missing shader, missing SFX, no transition, etc.).

Puppet Getsu Komei and Komei's Remnants

Much like Getsu Renge and Getsu Araya before him, Getsu Komei would have randomly appear as a mini boss fight between level transitions and defeating him would have unlocked him as a playable character, however his appear to be the least complete of the bunch as he lack any boss fight-specific animations and trying to load "Stage011_3_Boss_P" or "Stage011_3_Boss_Rematch_P" through console commands will only load the Puppet Getsu Renge and Renge's Remnants mini boss respectively.

Unused Graphics

T_UI_Title_Cl_GRGR_000

Developer GuruGuru's logo meant to appear on the splash screen, instead their logo only appears in the game credits.

T_UI_Icon_Item_Recovery_000

T_UI_Icon_Item_Recovery_000	T_UI_Icon_Item_Recovery_100

Either an early version of the Healing Potion sprite or perhaps a sprite for the "Alchemic Elixir" item.

T_UI_Weapon_Chainweight501_000

Unused sprite for the Whip weapon, it's notable for being different from the rest of the whips art-wise, on top of the fact of being the only weapon inside the "Game/UI/Texture/Weapon" subfolder with a 6th variant.

Game/UI/Texture/Item contents

T_UI_Item_Equip_Bomb_000	T_UI_Item_Equip_Bow_000	T_UI_Item_Weapon_Spear_000	T_UI_Item_Weapon_Sword_000	T_UI_Item_Weapon_Sword_001	T_UI_Item_Weapon_Umbrella_000

A bunch of weapon sprites found in the "Game/UI/Texture/Item" subfolder. They appear to be lower resolution than the proper weapon sprites inside "Game/UI/Texture/Weapon" subfolder.

Red and blue switches "ON"

T_UI_Icon_Minimap_Gimmick_011	T_UI_Icon_Minimap_Gimmick_013

Map icons for the switches on the Cocytus stage, they go unused as they are removed from the minimap as soon they are pressed since unlike the switches from the Subspace Citadel stage (which use a white version of the same sprites) these can't be pressed again once active.

Unused Boss name cards

T_UI Boss_CutName_M203_000

...But what does it mean?
This game has text or audio that needs to be translated. If you are fluent with this language, please read our translation guidelines and then submit a translation!

A boss name card corresponding to the Toad Warrior boss fight, however it appears to have a difference spelling from its in-game spelling "蝦蟇戦人".

T_UI Boss_CutName_M205_000

A boss name card corresponding to the Bakeneko boss fight, even though the boss can be fought in the current build, the name card is not used as the boss lacks an intro cutscene.

T_UI_Boss_CutName_M206_001

A boss name card that reads "雷鬼", roughly translating as "Thunder Ogre" (Raiki) in reference to the Twin Tempest Demons boss fight. It's worth noting there's no equivalent graphic for the "Wind Ogre" (Fūki) and in general there's no use for this graphic as they're always presented as a duo and use the same name card "双天鬼" (Double Ogre) T_UI_Boss_CutName_M206_000 .

T_UI Boss_CutName_M212_000

A boss name card corresponding to the Getsu Araya boss fight, even though the boss can be fought in the current build, the game will re-use Getsu Renge's name card instead.

T_UI Boss_CutName_M213_000

A boss name card corresponding to the Getsu Komei boss fight.

Unused Weapons

Polearm

Name	Icon	Description
Enma, Katana of the Six Demons	N/A	A large katana known as an odachi once carried by a sorrowful, obsessed man. One swing should be enough to reduce all enemies before it to dust.

EW214_V001 (Used)	W007_V999 (Unused)

A special variation of the Polearm weapon. This is the same weapon used by the penultimate boss Getsu Rando during his fight (even though the model for the playable version reveals that the blade is much longer and straighter than the original), it would appear it was meant to be unlocked by the player at one point. It also posseses the highest ID value of any item at "999".
