Intro
Hi! I'm Artificial Raven and this is a guide I created to help you gather all the recruits in the game. If you found this guide helpful, please rate it up. If you want to go a step further, check out my Youtube Channel or check out my other guides. Also feel free to leave a comment, I do appreciate constructive criticism or any information that can help me improve this guide and to correct mistakes I may have made.

Outro
I realize I was late to the party when I made this. I fear I wasted my time because the player count for this game is so low now. But I considered that that when I wrote it. So, to the few of you who put this guide to use, thank you very much!

I started playing this game yesterday. How do I chose party members? Is 4 max what you can have at any time? If so then you have to get rid of 1 to replace s/he with a new? How to do that?

There's another one, Sintillia, who boosts Hacktitude by 15. I'll check if I can find her in the final dungeon

I tried to add a +1 but got told no because I don't own it on steam (I have on another platform), so take my gratitude in words instead :steamhappy:

As of the 1.16 patch, there's now another recruit on Rhomu.
At any point after completing Rhomu's story-events, talk to Sue on the ship. This will unlock a new side-area in the New Rhomu tunnels.
To reach it, take the south-west path from the train-station, then go west at every fork. You'll encounter the Giant Maw. Beat it and enter the area it was guarding. The recruitable NPC - Johnny - joins upon completing this new dungeon.
