extract the zip file with Japanese codepage.I've been trying to get this game to work for a bit now. But so far the only thing I can see is just the opening area without the character sprite. I still get the instructions to how to move and run but nothing else. And almost everytime someone comes in here to ask about this issue people either ignore them or don't respond. I have tried the emulation but it doesn't work, and the patch program keeps telling me that the game date is corrupted.
I even installed Daemonstools to try and get the game to run but it also just winds up with the screen looking like before, so there wasn't any reason to do so. I am just not getting what I am doing wrong with this thing.

There's nothing of the sorts yet.So does this game have the same kind of system as the first, where you can end up ruining the entire game early on if you make a bad call (kill a demon in a game when a later reveal shows demons can perceive multiple timelines and remember any action you take on a different save file) or if you use the in-game assist system that locks the good ending?
Hopefully it stays that way! Or at least, negative ending actions are more clear than the last game about it. The first one gave a warning about decreasing corruption, but said nothing about affecting the ending through exchanging points for ammo or health and ruining it...There's nothing of the sorts yet.
I think he got too ambitious and maybe even let all the complaints about the first game being too hard get to him. But you're right, game feels alien to the first one. I don't think praying is a bad mechanic, I just don't think it's used well.Enough time has passed for me to finally speak the truth. Praying is a horrible mechanic and extremely less interesting then guns in the first game. Demon fights are way too easy, Hanako has like a single move that actually increases lust besides just giving in. The first game had an extremely linear feel, where fights felt like puzzles. This game feels like the exact opposite. The closest good fight was Rose, but the scripted parts ended too fast. Everything in the game is an upgrade, besides the actual game part.
No there is notsee the wiki " tips and tricks " on the main post, there is a guide on how to fix your issue
pretty sure that issue is as described. extract using winrar using the jap encoding and you won't get that error.I've been trying to get this game to work for a bit now.

it's the " game stops at turorial area " section, it's okay reading is hard <3No there is not
I'll probably end up doing this along with all the other things I have mtool do to this game (looking at you, QTE thing) if getting a decent amount of money means spending another 40 hours grinding this game.Too much work to begin with. Open an editor or Mtool, type in an insanely high number of currency, side fart, call it a day.
Its baffling that he thinks we want to grind against wandering spirits instead of actual demon encounters. Revamp the bosses, buff exp gain dramatically, add a new demon to each area as random encounters, get completely rid of wandering spirits, and this game would be amazing. Maybe it's time for me to learn how to modI think he got too ambitious and maybe even let all the complaints about the first game being too hard get to him.

I would have preferred another linear game with very nuanced fights again though.
