   Frequently Asked Questions

• Online multiplayer where?

The game doesn't support online play. Earlier Tasofro games have had online multiplayer, so there may be some hope of an update if the game is successful.

• Do I need an English translation?

No, many things are already in English and the game is playable with no knowledge of Japanese.

• Error: d3dx9_43.dll not found

Open the directx folder that comes with the installer and run DXSETUP.exe or download the dll and place it into game folder next to griefsyndrome.exe

• It still won't run.

Try setting your system locale to JAP in the Region and Language Settings, then restart.

• How do you save the game?

The game saves your lap and some statistics when you defeat Walpurgis Night. You can't save in the middle of a run or keep levels unlocked between runs.

Alt+Enter. You can use the configuration program to enable the full screen feature.

• The kyubey icon/configuration program won't open even though the game is not running

Gameplay

Players begin a new game in Gertrud's level. They must fight through each level in sequence, defeating Gertrud, Charlotte, Elly, Elsa Maria, and Walpurgis Night. A bonus Oktavia level is unlocked if Sayaka dies. Magical girls cannot be resurrected when they run out of soul limit, except by restarting the game from the beginning and discarding unsaved progress.
Magical girls have health bars and soul limit counters. Permanent death occurs when the soul limit reaches zero. The health bar is recharged by consuming soul limit after taking damage. When the health bar becomes empty or the girl falls down a deadly pit, 2000 soul limit points are consumed to construct a new body for her. Using special abilities turns part of the health bar blue. No soul limit is lost if it recharges while still blue, but taking any damage during this period will turn the blue area into additional damage.
Defeating enemies causes the girls to level up, increasing their damage output and survivability. The maximum level is 99. The soul limit is fully recharged after defeating a witch.
Defeating Walpurgis Night completes a lap. One of many ending screens is displayed depending on which girls remain alive, and your game is saved. You can start a new game from the next lap. The game's difficulty increases as the lap number increases, but the girls will also level up more quickly. Unlike the girls, the bosses can have levels over 99. On the higher laps, their levels will even be in the thousands, if not tens of thousands.
The highest lap known to be unlocked so far is 458330. Lap numbers are unlocked based on the square of the lap beaten plus one, so unlocking 6401 requires beating 80:
lap 1^2+1=2:
lap 2^2+1=5:
lap 5^2+1=26:
lap 26^2+1=677:
lap 51^2+1=2602:
lap 70^2+1=4901:
lap 80^2+1=6401:
lap 677^2+1=458330:

Some players use a number pad mapping terminology to name moves. For example, "8Z x2 j.6X" The first number is a position on the number pad: 8=up, 6=right, 2=down, 5=neutral, corresponding to how a joystick would work. The letter after it is the default key for that ability. x followed by a number means repeat it that many times. "j." means to do it while jumpin
