VN Unity Abandoned Dead Dating [v1.2] [Ryu]

[YuuChan02]

Yes, version 1.7.8b introduces new checks. It also requests and shares your IP address. Do what you want with this information.

Since this patch doesn't introduce anything meaningful (like new content), I'll skip it until the new version comes out in December or whenever.

The last version that included new content was 1.7.7. The CDKey verification system has been disabled, so it is no longer possible to register the game with the keys. However, you can do this:

How to get version 1.7.7 running

• Run the game once if you've never launched it before. Exit once you are in the CD Key check screen.
• If you DO NOT have any savegames yet - do this (this will erase all previous savegames):
  • Download DDSaveData.txt and copy it to %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\FYMM\DeadDating. (*)
• If you DO HAVE savegames or want to fiddle with it yourself:
  • Open your own copy of DDSaveData.txt located at %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\FYMM\DeadDating. (*).
  • Find "CDkActive":{"__type" : "System.Int32"0} and replace the 0 with a 1.
  • Save the file.
• Launch the game and be happy

(*) The fastest way to get to that folder is copying the bold part, then press WIN+R, paste it there, press Enter to confirm.

It should be less surprising now why the author of the game *warns* other people not to share their savegames (for "security reasons"). This way you could easily bypass their "protection".

I no longer have a copy of 1.7.7 and it seems that you can no longer download it from itch.io. Maybe someone else still has it.

Final note on this topic: All these petty anti-piracy efforts are nothing but a joke. This time could have been better spent on improving the game or adding new content. Not one, but two "anti-piracy" releases show where this author's priority lies: trying to make sure their system of milking their patrons still work.

Cheers,

When I check the saved progress on Load Game everything is on DAY 0 :'(

Could you please help me I don't know why the version is not running

Hey could you help me the game is not working

1. The solution is stated step to step, no idea what more you want;
2. Especially you didn't elaborate what you have done and what went wrong, no one can help you;
3. The 1.7.7 is a very old beta version.
4. There's no crack for the latest version available, you can't play without a crack;
5. This game is using a quite complicated anti-piracy system, it's a hassle to crack;
6. I wouldn't waste my time on it, game-play is meh, even porn is lacking, find a better playable game.
7. Or wait and pray that someone do a crack when the game is finished (who know when )

same goes to kuolan, Furrygay896, hail5.

 

[Passerby2010]

Great game

V.1.7.7 you uploaded had a lewd scene?
Is this game NSFW or simply a regular dating sim?
I've reached to the end game and no lewd scene except the first scene... I'm confused.

Not in that version, Just some teasing arts. That's one of the main complains at that time.
And the excuse the dev made was "They are focusing on 'game-play' (which is "meh" at best), not lewd contents - despite they marketed it as a "porn game" and ran shady money grabbing campaign off it.

This game is more of a fake marketing scam in my eye, but I've no idea what it became since it's "Release".

I thought if it's worth buying I'll do. but after your complain... Still finding another one without hope

You could ask someone who bought it but also not a fanboy, like CardFighterVanguard.
(I doubt things would change dramastily)

I swear only these Lackluster games are using these complicated anti-piracy system - guess that's one of their schemes?
Being a bad game so no one wanna crack it, but Gays will still buy them since there's very little choices, and they won't know what they get until they already spent the money (or spent time on piracy site )
The icing on the cake is to give out a misleading but appealing demo

I appreciate that, but I don't want to bother him.
I think I should save my money for something more worthwhile if you say so

 

[Camlansuc1312]

So eventually played around with it for a while. And found a guide for the main guys, Rex and Ekram:

Spoiler: Scenes and puzzles

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Will take a break until October update then, the second group will probably have scenes added then.

It is ehh, it can be NSFW if you got the dlc that makes its NSFW. The game only has 1 bottom the rest are vers tops/tops.

Are you in the discord group or the creator forum?
Honestly, I don't have any intention to buy the game in the first place but now I am really curious. If the dlc is open again, can you perhaps tag me? I intend to buy the game by then.

From the discord, I have no access to the creator form. I would recommend joining the discord and asking the creator/devs directly if the dlc can still be purchased or not. Not sure atm. For me, it is not worth buying. Because the sex scenes are really only at the end for the happy ending dlc and they are extremely short. While the main game is 4 days which is also kinda short. Some characters have good development but really I was only interested in 3 based on their story/plot.

Is it possible to determine who the killer is in the current latest version of the game? If so, tell me his identity, please, I'm too dumb to complete the investigation with Alex.

 

[Goobly]

Completing the investigation tells you who the body is and who murdered the body, but not why. It does not tell you who was behind everything or who kidnapped everyone. Doing the investigation is required for at least 2 post island routes plus one interesting showdown if things go wrong during the rescue. I just barely completed it a few weeks ago for the first time and I can try and help you out if you want since it's tied to several things that you probably don't want to be locked out of.

Off the top of my head, you have to be on the Alex route, then choose to stay at the chalet (meaning you miss the HJ event with Alex). I think you then have to ask everyone what happened on the boat instead of asking them how the mood is (ask about morning) and you must successfully speak with Koji (which is why I think his route might be tied to this as well). If you're on the Ekram's route (also tied to this investigation), speak to him before starting the investigation with Alex and bring him up to your balcony. Otherwise, just talk to Alex first and tell him you need more time. Then speak to Yuji first (order matters) and ask for clues, then ask Will for a clue, check the dumpsters outside of where Alex is for a suitcase, open it in your inventory, and then look for a spot and click on it. Bring everything up with Alex and you should get 90% on the suspect although my first try I got 70% without speaking with Will and it turns out that is good enough so there's room for error. Someone pinned a walkthrough on discord if with step by step instructions and I think someone also posted a video there if my info isn't good enough. Just don't ask me about the Karl route. I somehow did that correctly my first try and people seem to struggle a lot with his stuff.

Does karl have a perfect ending now?

Thanks a lot for the very detailed answer! I just don't have the opportunity to even buy the full version of the game since I'm from a sanctioned country. Therefore, I'm not even sure if I even have the opportunity to go to a good ending with Alex or find the killer.

I really hope that with Alex you can get something good in the end, otherwise in my version without NSFW he rejects me at the end and wants to remain friends
