 ==== Hiding Debugging Objects ====
-While you are playing the game in Debug Mode, you can toggle between showing and hiding the debugging objects scattered throughout the environment by using the VH01 General Message Board, which is located in front of the fountain statue in the middle of {{vhl|Hot Springs Town}}. The menu option is located in <code>Change system settings</code> > <code>Next</code> > <code>Switch normal – Switch debug</code>. However, note that this only hides debugging objects (including staircases that lead to the developer rooms), but it doesn't actually turn off Debug Mode. To actually disable Debug Mode, you must use the teddy bear in your character's house (see the [[#Switching to Debug Mode During Gameplay|Switching to Debug Mode During Gameplay]] section above).

-When starting a New Game, after you choose which character you want to play as, a menu will pop up with various settings. The first line allows you to select between Normal Mode and Debug Mode. If you choose Debug Mode, you will then be asked whether you want to increase the amount of money you start with, and whether or not you want to view the opening sequence. However, selecting Debug Mode means that you ''will not'' be able to go through the [[VH/Character creation|character creation]] questions.

-When Debug Mode is activated, a couple of items are added to the player's inventory. The first is the {{vhl|Debug Tool}}. This item allows you to perform various debugging–related actions, e.g., directly modifying the game characters' stats, or changing the time of day between day and night without needing to use an inn or finding a time–shifting clock. You can even change which heroine your player character is, and add/remove/change companions. The second item is the ID Check tool. While you are in combat zones, it allows you to check the stats of enemies that are on the current map. This allows developers to ensure that enemies aren't suddenly much more powerful between two connected maps that are supposed to be part of the same zone.
