Three types of ESP can be used on the field: BREAK, JUMP, and SHIELD.

[Discard]
You can only carry ten items total.
If you have an unwanted item, make a selection and press A to toss it.

[Status]
View the stats of the character at the head of your party. To check your other allies' stats, use Select on the field to change the lead and select Status again.

Re: Leveling Up:
Your allies will level up as experience accumulates.
However, you can only gain one level at a time, even if you defeat a particularly strong enemy. Therefore, in some cases, level ups may be deferred to the end of the next battle even when you've gained enough EXP to advance.

Sadly, good health is not a permanent state of being.
There are three different status conditions that can effect your party.

NORMAL	Character is healthy.
ILLNESS	Cannot attack when in battle. Additionally, the character will lose 10 hit points per each step taken on the field.
FAINTED	Cannot attack when in battle.
DEAD	Dead, temporarily. Dead characters can be revived, but if all players die, it's Game Over.

(1)
Displays your ESP levels.

(2)

Weapon	Currently equipped weapon. It will automatically be used as long as it's in your possession.
Protection	Currently equipped weapon. It will take effect as long as it's in your possession.
Gold	This world's currency. Try to avoid reckless spending.

(3)

Body	Whether or not the character is healthy.
Level	The level of the players' abilities.
Hit Points	Character will die when this reaches 0.
Max HP	The maximum HP for your current level.
Psychic Points	Your current psychic power.
Max PP	The maximum PP for your current level.
Defense	Affects how much damage you take from enemy attacks.
Speed	Gives the player priority during battle.
Proficiency	The higher it is, the more effective weapons will be.
Experience	Goes up as you defeat enemies.
NEXT	Experience needed to reach the next level.

Stargazers has both passable and impassable tiles.

Some tiles can be broken and walked through as long as your Break skill is high enough.
Select Break in the ESP menu to pass.
If your Jump skill is high enough, you can jump past obstacles up to five tiles wide. (This is called a Short Jump.)
Some tiles will inflict damage as you walk if your Shield skill is too low, so be careful.

Please note that some tiles cannot be passed through no matter how high your ESP skill levels are.

When facing an NPC you want to have a conversation with, use the Speak command. You should also use Speak when you want to buy items from shopkeepers.

Read Minds with "Telepathy"
One of your allies, Aine, has a skill called Telepathy. You can use it to gain information that NPCs won't say out loud. Face the person whose mind you want to read, switch to Aine with Select, press A, then select Telepathy from the ESP submenu.

As you walk, you may encounter foes who seek to impede your progress. They must be defeated in order to move on.

At the start of a battle, if you have two or more allies, you must first select the order in which they'll act.
The "Order?" menu will appear four times. Decide the order by using the directional pad to select which ally you would like to go first, then press A.
Some skills are most effective when used at the end of a turn.
Next, choose what action your ally will take by using the directional pad to move up and down through the list.

ESP…… Battle with your psychic powers
Each skill requires a certain amount of PP to use.
By hitting right on the directional pad, you can increase the amount of PP used to make it stronger, or hit left to decrease it. Press A to confirm your desired amount of strength.

Fight…… Attack barehanded or with a weapon
Use the directional pad up or down to select an enemy, then confirm with A.

Defend
Forgo attacking for one term to protect yourself from attacks. This can be an effective tactic for allies with low HP.

Medicine
You can use medicine, even in the middle of a battle.
Using medicine will bar you from attacking that turn.

Stats
Selecting this will show a window that says "Who?". Use the directional pad to choose which ally whose stats you want to view and confirm with A.
Doing this will not consume an action.

Allies' Hit Points
The number underneath each ally's portrait is their current HP. The displayed number starts from the tens place.
Ex: 29153 would be displayed as 2915

★	If an ally dies, you can raise them by bringing a revival potion to a certain NPC. There's another NPC nearby that will restore your allies' HP and PP to full.
★	The Long Jump skill can be used to register a destination which can be instantly warped to using the Jump command. The amount of places you can register at once will rise with Shiba's level, to a maximum of 3.
★	You can carry up to four of each kind of nut that can be used to make medicines with. Take them to the pharmacist and pay 15 Gold to concoct a potion. You'll need three different kinds of nuts to make one bottle of medicine.
★	You can carry a maximum of ten items.
★	Getting into a battle on the field will cause walls destroyed using Break to reappear. When that happens, just Break them again.
★	One ID Card will be consumed for each time you step on a tile that requires it to pass, with the exception of the Gold ID, which will remain in your inventory. The Counterfeit ID can open any door, but has a low success rate, so take caution.
★	Exiting towns and dungeons will not always take you to the place you entered from.

Gold is the name of the currency used in this world.
The main things you can purchase with Gold are:

★	Weapons How to Use In battle, an automatic increase to damage dealt will as long as a weapon is possessed by the attacking character.
★	Protective Gear Damage taken will automatically be reduced as long as protective gear is possessed by the defending character.

Note:

When you buy new equipment, the shopkeeper will buy back the one you're already wearing/wielding for half of the purchase price.

★	ID Card Many buildings cannot be entered without an ID Card.
★	Bomb When Break is used on the field, a Bomb will augment its effect. Some walls can't be destroyed without one.

Four different types of ESP can be used when battling enemies.

★

BREAK Type (Psychokinesis) Usable by Minami. Psycho Ball Concentrates psychokinetic energy into a sphere to be thrown at the enemy. Single target, damage minimal. Psycho Hurricane A powered-up version of Psycho Ball. Single target. Fire Arrow A powered-up version of Psycho Hurricane. Effective against bioorganisms. Fire Psycho Concentrates psychokinetic energy directly at the enemy to make them combust. Psycho Shaker Concentrates psychokinetic energy directly at the enemy to vibrate and destroy their cells (or circuits, in the case of robots). Psycho Final A powered-up version of Psycho Shaker.

★

JUMP Type (Teleport) Usable by Shiba. Teleport Allows one ally to escape. Use when an ally has taken significant damage. If it fails, who knows where you'll end up. Bad Teleport Teleports enemies away, rather than allies. However, you won't receive EXP or Gold from enemies who've been warped. Bad Air Teleports away the breathable air around a foe to suffocate them, making them faint or die. Won't work on mechanical enemies. Bad Heat Teleports away the heat around a foe. Works on both living and mechanical enemies. New Air Teleports fresh, warm outside air into the room, curing party members who are poisoned, sick, or fainted. Full Teleport A stronger Teleport that allows the whole party to flee.

★

SHIELD Type Shield Applies a barrier to a single ally that protects them from attacks. Only lasts one turn and must be reapplied. Memento Same effect as Shield, but lasts through the entire battle. Bad Shield Shields the enemy. It will not be able to attack you, but you can't attack it either. Cat Shield Same effect as Bad Shield, but enemies can be attacked by allies. Psycho Shield Applies a mental barrier that prevents opponents from using psychic techniques. Works best if the enemy is a psychic. Lasts the whole battle. Mirror Shield Enemies' attacks will be bounced back at them, inflicting damage.

★

TELEPATHY type Telepathy Searches for a weak point, and if found, enemy health is halved. Def Mind If successful, you can go back to the beginning of the turn. Off Mind Increases' allies' fighting spirit, increasing defense and reducing damage from enemies. Mind Kill Enemy loses will to fight, and its attack power is decreased. Bad Telepathy Hypnosis technique that makes an enemy believe its on your side. An affected enemy will attack itself or its allies. Bad Wave A direct attack on an enemies mind. If it succeeds, the enemy will be knocked unconscious or die.

You'll face four types of foes over the course of your adventure.

1.	Guard Force Militarized police that not only hunt down psychics, but surveil civilians and neutralize dissenters. They have no psychic abilities, but are heavily armed.
2.	Robots Automatons whose lack of a consciousness makes them an ideal counter to attacks that target the psyche. They are also resistant to physical damage. Of course, attacks that teleport oxygen away won't work either, since they don't have lungs.
3.	Genetically-modified bioorganisms Artificial life created by genetic engineering, some of which came out defective.
4.	Death Psychics Artificially created psychics, or turncoats who have defected to the establishment. Their psychic abilities make them effective at hunting their own kind. These are some of the most difficult enemies you'll encounter.
