Editor’s Note: Can You Cheat in Kotama and Academy Citadel?

“Let’s be honest, Kotama and Academy Citadel is tough. The Fluid Detonation system requires precise timing, and the parry windows are incredibly tight. In the current release build (January 2026), the developers have hard-locked the console key.

While digging through the game’s assembly files, I found that the debug menu exists but is locked behind a launch parameter. You can try to force it open, but it often glitches out the Time Rewind mechanic, causing Kotama to get stuck in previous timelines. At XMODhub, we recommend using an external memory trainer to inject cheats like ‘Infinite Fluid’ safely.”

If you manage to open the command line, here are the commands most players are looking for to survive the Citadel.

Combat & Survival Cheats

พระเจ้า – Grants invincibility (Kotama takes no damage).
infinite_fluid – (Essential) Gives unlimited Fluid Energy for detonations and dashing.
no_cooldown – Removes cooldowns for Liquid Dash and weapon skills.
killall – Instantly defeats all enemies in the current room (Warning: May break script triggers).

Academy & Resource Commands

add_votes [amount] – Adds “Votes,” the primary currency used for academy relationships and upgrades.
unlock_map – Reveals the entire map of Carmel Academy.
teleport_to_checkpoint – Instantly warps you to the last visited safe zone.

Kotama and Academy Citadel Item IDs List

To use the give [ID] command, you need specific internal codes. These often look like this:

Weapons:
- ID_Weapon_UmbrellaSpear (The default fluid-applying weapon)
- ID_Weapon_FluidBlade
Key Items:
- ID_Item_TimeCoil (Used for time manipulation upgrades)
- ID_Key_CarmelStarEmblem
Consumables:
- ID_Potion_MaxHealth

(Tired of guessing IDs or getting “Invalid Object” errors? The XMODhub Trainer has a built-in Item Spawner menu with icons, so you don’t need to memorize text codes.)

Where is the Save File Located? (AppID: 3639650)

For those who want to backup their progress before attempting the “Hardcore” difficulty:

Windows: C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\LocalLow\AtomstringGames\KotamaAndAcademyCitadel\
Steam Deck (Linux): ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/3639650/pfx/

คำเตือน: Save files are binary encoded. Editing them with Notepad will corrupt your “Carmel Star” progress.

The Problem: Why Console Commands Disable Achievements

Using the developer console comes with a hidden cost:

Achievement Lock: Typing cheats like พระเจ้า usually sets a “Cheater” flag in your save file, permanently disabling Steam Achievements.
Sequence Breaking: Using โนคลิป to bypass locked doors can break the game’s sequence, leaving you without the necessary abilities (like Time Rewind) to progress later.
ความไม่สะดวก: You have to re-type codes every time you load the game.

ทางเลือกที่ดีกว่า: XMODhub Trainer (ไม่ต้องพิมพ์)

Stop memorizing codes and risking save corruption. XMODhub acts as a visual overlay that hooks into the game memory safely.

คำถามที่พบบ่อย

Q: Can I use console commands in Kotama and Academy Citadel on Steam Deck?

A: Opening the console on Steam Deck is difficult without a physical keyboard. The XMODhub Trainer is compatible with Steam Deck (Desktop Mode) and offers a much easier touchscreen-friendly interface.

Q: Is there a cheat to beat the Hidden Boss?

A: The hidden boss is notoriously difficult (Malenia-tier). While killall might crash the cutscene, XMODhub’s God Mode allows you to survive the fight naturally without breaking the game script.

Q: How do I get infinite Time Rewind?

A: There is no known console command for this specific mechanic. You must use the XMODhub Trainer to freeze the “Time Gauge” value.

สรุป: ฉลาดโกง

While classic console commands are nostalgic, they are often risky in complex 3D Metroidvanias like Kotama and Academy Citadel. You shouldn’t have to risk a 20-hour save file just to beat a tough boss.

XMODhub offers a safer, visual, and achievement-friendly way to customize your difficulty.
